"Some things are unbelievable even if they are facts." Su Ranhua sighed kindly on behalf of Chuntao, not to mention that only she knew this fact, and Chuntao, the person involved, was also very confused.
"Yes." Chuntao rubbed her forehead and said angrily.
"I will be your witness to save them from telling you some jokes if they don't believe you." Su Ranhua tilted her head, looked at Chuntao's broken forehead, and thought for a while.
"Really? Princess, are you willing?" Chuntao seemed to have grabbed a strong hand, and her eyes flashed with excitement.
Su Ranhua nodded and said seriously, "I know it's very distressing when people don't believe the truth. I'm willing to help you."
"Thank you so much, Princess." Chuntao said with gratitude. It didn't matter whether others believed it or not. What she cared about most was the Queen's opinion. It would be the best if she could eliminate the Queen's doubts.
"Let's go." Su Ranhua smiled lightly, turned around and continued walking. The smile on her lips was a rare and understanding smile from her heart. What a lovely girl!
Chuntao, who was following Su Ranhua, regarded Su Ranhua as a simple and honest person, and couldn't help but have a better impression of him.
The two returned to Jinhua Garden together. Ximen Hao had already returned from the emperor and was sitting on the side of the hall drinking tea. When he saw Su Ran's paintings, he lowered his eyelids and was unmoved.
When the queen in the hall saw Chuntao and Su Ranhua walking in together, a trace of surprise flashed across her eyes. She glanced at Su Ranhua and her eyes fell on Chuntao.
"Back to the queen, I met the princess on the way back." Chuntao explained first.
What she said was wonderful. For the queen, it was like Su Ranhua discovered Chuntao who was sent to follow her when she came back. For Su Ranhua, it was like Chuntao picked up Su Ran on the way.
Painting, returning to the Queen.
Of course, this was only for Su Ranhua, who knew nothing in Chuntao's eyes. Su Ranhua, who knew everything, naturally understood Chuntao's true intention when he said this first.
Chuntao dared to play tricks on the Queen when she was working beside him. He was indeed a bold character. Su Ranhua thought to himself that maybe the Queen was very good at punishing people, so Chuntao would rather risk her own life to fool her than to keep her own disadvantages.
secret.
It seems like I am going to be a good person this time.
Thinking of this, Su Ranhua smiled slightly and blessed the queen, "In the beginning, Ranhua walked alone in the palace. He didn't know the way very well. He went much slower every time. Thanks to the empress's intention, she asked Chuntao to pick up Ranhua.
We returned successfully, but probably because we were walking in such a hurry, Chun Taosheng tripped over a branch and fell badly."
"Oh?" The queen raised her eyebrows and looked at Chuntao.
Su Ranhua's words not only explained the reason why she came and went for a long time, but also proved that Chuntao fell. They also revealed the reason Chuntao gave after seeing her, and did not reveal the secret of her being ordered to follow people.
The queen is relieved.
"It's exactly what the princess said." Chuntao nodded after Su Ranhua's words.
The queen stared at Chuntao in silence, taking it for granted that Chuntao was exposed because of her sudden fall, which forced her to appear in front of Su Ran's painting. Fortunately, her reaction was quite witty and did not embarrass her, the queen.
.
"It's getting late, I should go back home." Ximen Hao seemed to be impatient with the trivial matters in front of him. He put down the tea cup and stood up to leave.
"Ran Hua retires." After hearing Ximen Hao's words, Su Ran Hua bowed to the Queen again.
The queen frowned unconsciously. She was originally very dissatisfied with Su Ranhua's behavior of not being a slave at all, but when she came back from a trip to Jinhua Garden, she simply didn't call herself a slave.
However, after pausing for a moment, he saw that Ximen Hao had no objections, and the queen was not in trouble. In any case, Su Ranhua was still holding the identity of Princess Bei, and was not a slave in the true sense.
"Slave, please see the King of the North."
At the right time, Chen Fu hurriedly returned to Jinhua Garden with a small bucket of precious tea. When he saw Ximen Hao preparing to leave, he hurriedly saluted him.
"Chen Fu, why are you so panicked?" the queen asked.
"It's Xiao Linzi," Chen Fu adjusted his breathing, walked to the queen's side with his back hunched over, handed the tea to the maid on the side, and carefully supported the queen, "Xiao Linzi died suddenly."
Hearing the word "sudden death", Ximen Hao paused, as if something flashed through his mind, but he couldn't catch it for a moment. The corners of his eyes inadvertently glanced at Su Ran's paintings beside him.
Touching Ximen Hao's peripheral vision, Su Ranhua was shocked secretly, and glanced at Chen Fu calmly.
"Xiao Linzi is dead?" The queen obviously knew that person and asked in surprise.
"Yes!" Chen Fu sighed, "He was young and died as soon as he said he would die. He fell on the roadside and had already expired when he was found."
"I saw him yesterday, so why did he die today?"
"This is fate," Chen Fu said. "If you don't have any disease, you will die as soon as you say you are dead. The imperial doctor who did the autopsy said it was a sudden death with no reason."
"Didn't you hear about what happened on the road just now when you came back?" Ximen Hao asked, glancing at Su Ranhua with a vague gaze. For some reason, when he heard Chen Fu's words, he thought of sudden death on the street.
Hu Dingshan, and Su Ranhua was present at that time.
This may be the special feeling of a thoughtful person.
But Chuntao's reply made the very slight doubt that Ximen Hao had just disappear. Even he himself felt that this doubt was very ridiculous and baseless, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corners of his lips unconsciously.
"The prince, the queen, the servants and the princess came back together. I never heard of it," Chuntao said.
Ximen Hao was familiar with the Queen's behavior, so he could naturally guess that Chuntao was ordered to follow Su Ranhua. Her words "together" can completely confirm that Su Ranhua has been under her nose and has not met her during this period.
anything.
Chuntao's words were meant to escape punishment, but to prove that she had been staring at Su Ranhua, it became Su Ranhua's alibi at the crime scene.
This was also an unexpected move that Su Ranhua didn't expect when he knocked Chuntao unconscious.
In this way, looking at Ximen Hao's relieved smile, Su Ranhua could feel calm and calm all over. The look in Ximen Hao's eyes just now really shocked her heart.
"My dear, farewell." Ximen Hao no longer cared about these trivial matters in the palace. After bidding farewell to the queen, he strode out of Jinhuayuan.
Su Ranhua hurriedly followed, and when he arrived outside the garden, he saw that Ximen Hao had already mounted the horse he had brought from nowhere and was riding away.
Looking at the empty carriage and entourage left behind, Su Ranhua smiled lightly and stepped onto the carriage without ceremony.
The coachman's expression was slightly startled, but he didn't say anything. He gave a long shout and drove the carriage out of the palace.
This is a symbol of status. Even if she does the most humble thing, the princess is the princess. Before the title is removed, she is the master. The North King can despise her, but as a qualified servant, he cannot show it.
Any prejudice.
Obviously, these people brought out from Beiwang Mansion are very responsible and qualified.
