Su Luo originally thought that the Queen would be in trouble or something if she asked her to enter the palace, but in the end she just asked a few common questions, rewarded her with a bunch of silk and satin jewelry, saying it was for her makeup, and let her out.
When they came out of the palace, everyone in Su Luo was in a trance.
Is this the end?
The carriage swayed all the way, and when they got back to the other courtyard, they got out of the carriage. The spring breeze blew in front of them. Su Luo calmed down and realized something was wrong.
The person sent by the Queen to deliver the message did not urge or persuade when Concubine Zhen was making things difficult for her, but just watched blindly, as if it had nothing to do with the Queen even if she was humiliated to death by Concubine Zhen.
According to this trend, the queen's treatment of her, at least asking her to enter the palace, should never be to reward her and add makeup to her.
Otherwise, the maid would not have that attitude.
So what changed the queen’s original intention?
After she entered the palace, the only incident that happened was Concubine Zhen.
Su Luo carefully reviewed the conversations that took place after meeting Concubine Zhen, what Concubine Zhen said, what she said, what Yuzhu said...
After thinking about it, there is only one strange thing.
She told Concubine Zhen that she had gotten hold of Marquis Zhenning. At that time Concubine Zhen's face turned extremely pale and she looked like she was about to faint at any moment.
And the look on his face was ugly, not angry, but frightened.
Why did Concubine Zhen react so strongly?
As the head of an aristocratic family, it is normal for Marquis Zhenning to have many clues about him. She only mentioned that she had obtained the clues about Marquis Zhenning but did not say anything about them. Why was Concubine Zhen so scared?
Moreover, Concubine Zhen knew exactly what her status and treatment were during those five years in Zhenninghou Mansion.
With her status, she would never be able to get close to the Marquis's study, let alone steal any top-secret government affairs. Logically speaking, as someone who has been immersed in the palace for many years, Concubine Zhen's first reaction should be to not believe her words.
right.
Su Luo was just making up nonsense at that time. How could she have any excuse, but she didn't expect that this was a blind cat that hit a dead mouse?
Su Luo thought about it for a whole afternoon and could only analyze so much. When Xiao Yu came over for dinner in the evening, Su Luo couldn't wait to tell Xiao Yu this.
"...I feel that there must be some invisible secret hidden in the inner house of Zhenninghou Mansion. This secret may be related to Concubine Zhen. You can have someone check it out. During the five years I was in Zhenninghou Mansion, I was able to obtain
The handle can only be in the direction of the inner house."
Xiao Yu twirled her fingers and was silent for a while, "I'll have someone check it out. If anyone asks you to come to the palace in the future, if I can't accompany you, just call it sick."
The Queen must have had bad intentions when she asked Su Luo to enter the palace.
There is still such a scourge in the palace as Concubine Zhen.
Xiao Yu is really worried.
"I always thought that the queen wanted her princess to marry the third son of the Zhenninghou Mansion so that she could find someone to rely on. After all, according to the current situation, the Zhenninghou Mansion is the only one among the eight aristocratic families.
Then Concubine Zhen's fourth prince is more likely to succeed to the throne than the other princes.
But now it seems that I was wrong, the queen may not really want to rely on Zhenninghou Mansion."
Xiao Yu has never been shy about these political matters since he confessed his identity to Su Luo. He always said what he had to say, and he hoped that Su Luo would know more.
In this way, you can see things more clearly when you encounter them.
On the way to the palace, Yuzhu and Su Luo mentioned that the queen's natal family is a family named Xue among the eight aristocratic families. This family's status among the eight aristocratic families is in the middle and upper reaches. In terms of current strength, it can never surpass the Marquis of Zhenning.
Mansion.
Su Luo considered her thoughts and said to Xiao Yu: "Could it be that the Queen knows something? She originally planned to rely on Zhenning Hou Mansion, but because of what I said today, she changed her mind?"
Xiao Yu nodded, "It's possible."
As he spoke, the solemn expression on his face swept away and turned to gentleness. He picked up a strand of Su Luo's hair with his fingers and twisted it around his fingertips. "You did a very good job today. Not only were you able to protect yourself bravely, but you also prevented others from letting go."
I have been wronged and yet I have to analyze so many things."
Su Luo's face warmed at his praise, but her heart was filled with pleasure and she didn't say anything else pretentiously. She even said with a little bit of spoiled pride, "I will definitely be better in the future."
Her bright eyes seemed to be shining, Xiao Yu smiled and responded, "Yeah."
The two looked at each other for a while, and Su Luo said: "If what we analyzed is the truth, then the queen changed her mind, either she wants to wait and see, or... I don't think she will want to
Cooperate with us? You see, she rewarded me with so many things, or after I had such a quarrel with Concubine Zhen, this is obviously a slap in Concubine Zhen's face."
After a pause, Su Luo looked at Xiao Yu and said, "I think if this is the case, the queen might ask me to come into the palace, and she might try to trick me or something.
Although it is dangerous to enter the palace, I cannot always avoid it by pretending to be sick. I think I should still enter the palace.
If I had claimed to be sick today, we would not have made this discovery, or it would not have been possible for us to have discovered it so early."
Xiao Yu entangled his fingers in Su Luo's hair and played with it, "Tell me, does Chen Heng know you are so smart?"
Xiao Yu suddenly said something irrelevant. Su Luo raised her eyebrows as if to react, and then said with a calm smile: "He probably only knows that I can cook and sew clothes."
Zhenninghou Mansion never gave her a chance to do anything else.
She was in Zhenninghou Mansion, which was actually like being kept in captivity.
Was put into a cage.
After I left and came out, I realized how big the world is.
Xiao Yu's eyes turned sour, "He knows you can cook and sew clothes, but I didn't even know."
Su Luo smiled angrily, "Come on, don't you eat at my house every day in Chunxi Town?"
When these words came out, Su Luo felt sweet and happy in her heart.
In the past, between her and Chen Heng, she always humbled herself to please Chen Heng, speaking cautiously, doing things cautiously, even breathing cautiously.
But now, Xiao Yu's status is obviously more noble than Chen Heng's, but she has no fear or fear in her heart. She only has the freedom of joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, and can express any emotion she wants.
"But you haven't sewed any clothes for me." Xiao Yu originally wanted to change the subject and get jealous, but when he finished talking, his heart actually felt a little sour.
Su Luo looked at him and heard the jealousy in his voice. She bit her lip, remained silent for a while, and then said something coaxing, "But you kissed me!"
Phew~
The old bastard, who has been famous for playing flute for thousands of years, felt his cheeks heat up a little because of these words. He couldn't help but laughed to himself.
Su Luo glared at him, "Don't even think about changing the subject. I'm talking to you about business. If the Queen summons me to the palace in the future, I will still go, but if I don't come out for too long, you have to save me."
Xiao Yu thought that this girl was very hard-boned and needed to be strong-faced.
The result was this sentence, which made me laugh and cry, "Well, I'll save you."
