Du Juan's words undoubtedly aroused the most pain in Nala's heart. Although she was still a queen, her treatment was far from what it was before. Except for daily expenses, the Ministry of Internal Affairs had nothing to send her. She said bitterly:
"That Qian Moduo one
You are a slave who looks down on others, and he colludes with the Niu Hulu clan. Just wait and see, I will definitely get my money back with interest soon." After that, she stared at Xiao Ningzi and said: "
Did you hear clearly what I just said?"
Xiao Ningzi knew that she was in a bad mood, so she didn't dare to neglect her. She repeatedly said, "I understand that I will definitely handle this matter according to my master's instructions."
In order to avoid arousing Ling Ruo's suspicion, Xiao Ningzi delayed going to Chengqian Palace with the letter until the next day. After seeing Ling Ruo as a gift, he presented the letter to Ling Ruo as if he was offering a treasure, "This slave finally lived up to his master.
As expected, I got a letter written by Hongshi and asked the master to read it."
There was no need to go to such trouble, but when Liu Yuan was sure that the letter from Liu Yuan was completely imprinted in his mind, Xiao Ningzi asked Liu Yuan to burn it in front of him to avoid leaking it.
Ling Ruo did not open it after taking it, but said gently: "Thank you for your hard work, but there is something I have to remind you."
Xiao Ningzi said in a seductive voice: "Master, are you telling me that the Queen is suspicious of the servant?" Seeing Ling Ruo nodding, he added: "I can feel that the Queen is becoming more and more suspicious of the servant, so I said this letter
The letter, the slave went through a lot of effort to steal it, and was almost discovered in it."
"The Queen once saw you talking to Yang Hai in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so she came to question me. Although I tried my best to deny it, she probably wouldn't believe it."
Xiao Ningzi said with a bitter face: "Master, you have to help this slave. No matter what the outcome of this matter is, it is impossible for me to stay with the Queen. Otherwise, I don't know when I will die."
Ling Ruoran smiled and said: "What are you talking about? How can it be so terrible? The Queen can still eat you."
"I'm not exaggerating at all. Once the Queen gets the evidence, even ten lives won't be enough for me to die. If possible, I don't want to go back to Kunning Palace right now, so I don't have to worry all the time." At this point, he knelt down.
He begged, "Master, all the slaves are doing what you ordered. You can't ignore the slaves."
"Okay, as soon as this matter is over, I will arrange for you to serve as a steward in the House of Internal Affairs, but before that, you still have to return to the Queen to avoid her becoming suspicious." Ling Ruo leaned forward slightly.
Staring at Xiao Ningzi, he said, "If the whole thing is ruined because of you alone, I won't let you go."
"I know." Xiao Ningzi agreed quickly, and then asked, "Master, when do you plan to tell the emperor about this?"
"There is no rush. We will wait until I read these letters. You can go back first. I will let Yang Hai inform you when you can take action."
Xiao Ningzi still had many questions in her mind, but she was afraid that asking too many questions would arouse Ling Ruo's suspicion, so she could only suppress it in her heart and withdrew with a respectful expression.
Ling Ruo didn't send Xiao Ningzi away, which saved him a lot of trouble. After closing the palace door, he carefully came to the place where Hong Zhan lived. Fortunately, it was hot and afternoon, so there were no palace people.
Being outside allowed him to avoid being discovered.
He once pretended to ask Yang Hai unintentionally, knowing where Hong Zhan lived, and there was no need to look around to try his luck.
Hongzhan woke up from his nap and was playing with the short gun given to him by Hongli. He heard the sound of the door being pushed open and took a casual look. When he saw it was Xiao Ningzi, he couldn't help but froze for a moment.
He ran over, grabbed Xiao Ningzi and said expectantly: "Are you here to take me back? Huang Ama agrees for me to go back to Huang's mother, right?"
Xiao Ningzi quickly closed the door and made a silent gesture and said: "Your Majesty did not agree, but the Queen really misses Brother Six, so she asked this servant to come over to see how you are doing, but Concubine Xi cannot be known, otherwise
She will definitely arrest the slave
"." As he spoke, he looked at the nuns in the room. Although Hong Zhan was young, he was very smart. He immediately pointed at the nuns and said: "None of you are allowed to treat Xiao Ningzi
Tell us what happened here, you know? If anyone tells you, I will break his legs!"
Several nuns looked at each other and nodded. After the explanation, Hongzhan took Xiao Ningzi's hand and said, "How are you, Queen? I haven't seen her for a long time and I miss her so much."
"The Queen is fine with everything else, but she misses the sixth elder brother very much." As he said that, he looked at Hongzhan carefully and said, "I look a lot darker. Your Majesty will feel very distressed if she sees it." After that, he looked at Hongzhan carefully.
He leaned into Hongzhan's ear and said, "Brother Six, the Queen has asked me to tell you something, but this matter cannot be heard by anyone except you."
Hongzhan nodded and said to the nuns: "You all go out and come in again when I call you. Remember, you are not allowed to tell Concubine Xi about Xiao Ningzi."
The nuns agreed hesitantly. From their eyes, Xiao Ningzi could tell that they didn't care about Hongzhan's instructions. As soon as they stepped out of the door, they would tell Niu Hulu about the matter without hesitation. However,
He didn't care about this, as long as he could be alone with Hongzhan.
After they exited, Hongzhan said eagerly: "Xiao Ningzi, what does the Queen want to tell me?"
Xiao Ningzi said solemnly: "Brother Six, tell me, do you still want to return to the Queen?"
Hongzhan nodded vigorously and said: "Of course I want to go back, I think about the Queen every day."
"Okay, now there is an opportunity for you to return to the Queen, but I need your help." As soon as Xiao Ningzi finished speaking, Hong Zhan couldn't wait to say: "Hurry up, tell me what you are doing, I will definitely take care of it for the Queen.
.”
Xiao Ningzi took out several letters from her arms and handed them to Hongzhan, saying, "Brother Six, please find a way to put these letters among the letters in Concubine Xi's study. Don't let anyone discover them."
"Is it just such a small thing?" Hongzhan looked at the letter in the book and was about to open it when Xiao Ningzi stopped him and said, "The Queen has told me that you cannot read this letter."
"Why?" Hongzhan asked curiously: "What's written on it?"
"Do you know why the second elder brother was imprisoned in the clan's mansion by the emperor?" Regarding Xiao Ningzi's question, Hongzhan frowned and said: "I heard that it was because the second elder brother forced the palace and wanted himself.
He became emperor but failed, so he was imprisoned by Huang Ama."
"What you said is only half right. In fact, all this is related to Concubine Xi. It was she who conspired with Prince Guo to frame the second elder brother."
