The guard stepped forward and bowed slightly to Chu Ning and Su Jinyao, and said with some embarrassment: "Two young ladies, this rule has always been in the palace, and those who cannot be recognized by this empty fox cannot enter the inner court, two young ladies ......"

Chu Ning didn't want to do anything else at this time, she knew that Ji Chongguang would leave Dongqi soon, and it just so happened that she herself wanted to go to the Jin Kingdom to see if she could find some clues about the past. Hearing the guard say this, she turned to leave.

As soon as he walked a few steps away, a gentle and warm female voice came from behind him: "If even the young lady sent by the Suyin family has evil spirits on her body, I am afraid that no one will be clean in the entire Lindu." ”

Someone walked over, and before they got close, they could smell the fragrant fragrance of plum blossoms, presumably using good incense. Chu Ning caught a glimpse of the corner of the skirt embroidered with water waves and cloud patterns on the ground with her peripheral vision, so she guessed who it was, immediately adjusted her mood, and when she turned around, she already had a flawless smile and called out: "Auntie." ”

Su Sirong took her very closely, and walked over and grabbed Su Jinyao: "I have already obtained the permission of the king earlier, I can bring the two of you to my palace today, have a light meal together, and talk to An'er about family life by the way." I waited for a long time and didn't see you coming, so I had to come to meet you in person. ”

The guards had to step forward to stop him, Su Sirong didn't stop walking, he didn't look at the guard, and only threw down a sentence: "The rule in the palace is that outsiders who stay overnight must be approved by the empty fox, and here are all quasi-inner priests from the Lingque Terrace, all of them have superb skills, and it is not impossible for the empty fox to not be able to distinguish them." Instead of blindly blocking it, you should study hard and learn how the rules are set. ”

Su Sirong spoke in a very gentle tone, not as angry and self-righteous as the queen, nor as enchanting and charming as Mrs. Xiaowei, but the guards did not dare to easily upset her, the current situation was not clear, any prince could become the new prince or the next king of Qi, and the concubines who had children could not be offended.

Chu Ning was held by her soft hand, only to feel that the fragrance was wisps into her nose, the fragrance was a little sweet and too greasy, and she had a headache after smelling it for a long time, but it was too rude to turn her head to avoid covering it.

As soon as the thoughts in her heart turned like this, Su Sirong had already turned her head and said to her with a decent smile: "The king is old, the old people have a sour nose, and they always feel that they can't smell any good taste, I have tried more than a dozen kinds of incense, only this one, the king is the favorite." ”

Chu Ning saw that she patiently explained to herself, so she had to respond: "I'm not good at these things, I can't tell the difference between good and bad, what the king likes, it must be good." ”

Su Sirong took the two of them all the way, and where they happened to pass along the way, he explained to them, and even helped them get familiar with the environment and rules of the palace. Su Sirong has been in the palace for more than ten years, and has never been particularly favored by King Qi, but she has never made any mistakes.

But in front of such a person, Chu Ning was a little uncomfortable. Along the way, whenever she just thought of something in her heart, Su Sirong would immediately explain or enlighten, as if she could peek into her mind at any time, but as long as Chu Ning continued to say something, even if it was perfunctory, Su Sirong always smiled kindly and decently, as if she had a good conversation with her.

Su Sirong was really careful and considerate, even though she was in a noble position at the moment, and she was the elder of these two little girls, she still carefully pondered their smiles, and then sent comforting words in time. Chu Ning has seen a lot of arrogant people, pungent people, and yin people, and it is the first time he has seen Su Sirong like this.

Bypassing the library building that caused trouble last time, Su Sirong's dormitory arrived, with the support of Su Yin's background, she was named Mrs. as soon as she entered the palace, and the location of the palace room was better than that of Mrs. Xiaowei, in front of which was an open lotus pond, and it was very cool at night.

Jiang Cheng'an was already waiting at the door of Su Sirong's dormitory, and when he saw them coming back, he stepped forward and saluted Su Sirong respectfully, and then turned around and bowed slightly to Chu Ning and Su Jinyao, which was regarded as a greeting, and his movements were very polite, but he didn't speak. Chu Ning and Su Jinyao returned the salute and followed Su Sirong into the inner hall.

A simple meal had been prepared in the room, and the four of them sat on the floor, and the little maid stepped forward to spread the vegetables on the small table in front of them. Su Sirong kept asking the two of them to eat more, and casually asked about the situation at home. The matter between Jiayin and Princess Ankang caused a lot of trouble in the city, and she couldn't hide it, so Chu Ning chose something important to tell her.

Su Sirong frowned slightly when she heard this, but she didn't answer, she didn't persuade Su Jinyao to accept the real biological mother or accept the nurturing grace of Princess Ankang like anyone else, based on this alone, Su Jinyao's impression of her was already much better.

The dishes were almost arranged, and the little servant retreated with interest, and only the four of them were left in the room.

Su Sirong took the handkerchief and wiped his fingertips, and said to Chu Ning and Su Jinyao: "It's second to catch up with you, I brought you here first, because there are some things I want to tell you in advance, lest you step into the bureau laid out by others and don't know it." ”

Chu Ning saw her serious expression, and knew that she didn't mean to show favor this time, but really had something to mention herself, so she stopped her chopsticks and looked up to listen.

"I think you have also heard that the king's health is not very good, so he urgently selected a priest from the Lingque Terrace to enter the palace to get rid of evil spirits for the king," Su Sirong sighed, "But this is only one aspect, on the other hand, the more important reason is that since the death of the former prince, the palace has not been peaceful, and it has become more and more exaggerated recently, and even caused deaths." ”

Chu Ning stared at Su Sirong's face, and didn't understand for a while what it meant to "make a fuss", the death of any noble person in the palace was a great event, and it was absolutely impossible to hide it.

Su Sirong glanced at the faces of the two of them, taking in their respective expressions: "After settling down tonight, it is estimated that someone will inform you tomorrow that all the newly arrived quasi-inner priests will be assigned to all parts of the palace to watch the night, and if they encounter any strange situation, they will report to the king." Because in the past few months, several palace maids have died in the palace, but the murderer has not been found. The king was furious because of this incident, and his condition became more and more serious. ”

Although Chu Ning and Su Jinyao were not in harmony, they couldn't help but glance at each other at this time, because the news was too shocking. If it weren't for Su Sirong coming over in time today and taking the two of them away, most of them would have had an argument with the guards at the door, then the news that they could not get the approval of the empty fox would have spread, and if there were any more bizarre things in the palace, most of the other quasi-inner priests would have pointed the finger at the two of them first in order to protect themselves.

This batch of quasi-inner priests are almost all the most valued young ladies in the famous families of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, and if these young ladies attack each other in the palace, it will definitely cause deeper contradictions between the families.

There is news of the death of the palace maid, and it has been blocked very strictly, and Su Sirong can only know a general idea, and cannot provide more inside information. Su Sirong had asked King Qi in advance what he meant, and he could allow Chu Ning and Su Jinyao to stay in her dormitory for one night, and then follow the palace assignment and go to the place where she was ordered to be on duty for the night.

After eating, Jiang Chengan bowed down to Su Sirong and said goodbye and returned to his bedroom. A maidservant girl came in and took Chu Ning and Su Jinyao to the prepared bedroom.

Chu Ning hardly slept much this night, thinking about Su Sirong's words over and over again. If it's just the death of the palace maid, it's not a big deal, and the palace maids in this palace are only beaten to death by the nobles, I'm afraid it's not a small number, and there must be another reason why the royal family is so panicked.

Early the next morning, the palace maid beside the queen came to deliver a message, Chu Ning was assigned to the palace of Mrs. Xiaowei, and Su Jinyao still stayed with Su Sirong. Chu Ning only thinks that Su Sirong still prefers the eldest lady of the Su family, who is like a pearl in the palm of her hand, but she is not surprised, thinking that Mrs. Xiaowei is also an acquaintance, and it is not bad to go to her, the only problem is that I don't know how to say to Mrs. Xiaowei if she mentions that she wants to forget the joy.

Who knows, as soon as Chu Ning entered Mrs. Xiaowei's bedroom, he was pulled directly into the inner hall by Mrs. Xiaowei, and she didn't say a word about forgetting joy at all. Mrs. Xiaowei withdrew the palace maids who served on the left and right, and asked the nurse to take Yuxi away, and then said to Chu Ning mysteriously: "I spent a lot of money, and I specially asked you to come here, have you heard, several palace maids have died in the palace recently, and you are summoned from Lingque Terrace for this matter." I don't worry about others, you and I are old acquaintances, I only believe that you will not harm me, let me and Yu Xi save our lives. ”

Chu Ning didn't expect Mrs. Xiaowei to be scared like this, so she asked her for some details.

Mrs. Xiaowei lowered her voice: "Speaking of this, there is another secret to tell you, in fact, the king's body has long been dead, but he does not give up, he has to prolong his life and fight for his life with the sky." Later, someone gave him a prescription, which was the one that I tried with you at the Lingque Terrace, Wu Qi, to use a young woman born at a certain time to continue her life. This matter, other people in the palace do not know, I have been with the king for the longest time, and I can only hear that these girls who died violently were actually selected by the king to continue their lives, and they were selected in the name of the palace maids, which was not so noticeable, but before they could use it, they died first. ”
