Chapter 290 Exploration

After putting the two children to sleep, Xiao Jin and Su Ying went to the front yard.

A thin, fair-faced middle-aged man walked in.

"Slave Zhang Shuming to the prince, and the princess to greet you."

"Get up, butler." Xiao Jin said to Su Ying: "Eunuch Zhang followed me when I was in the palace, and he followed me out after I left the palace. When I went to the border, I let him rest and recuperate. If someone takes care of him, we can only let Eunuch Zhang come back first."

Zhang Shuming quickly raised his head and glanced at Xiao Jin, Su Ying saw that his eyes were red, "It is a blessing for the slave to have the opportunity to come back to serve the prince and concubine. Don't worry, the prince, the slave will do his best to share the worries of the prince."

"Well, then I will trouble you. Whatever the princess tells you in the future, you just do it."

Zhang Shuming kowtowed to Su Ying again, "Yes."

The return of Zhang Shuming means that the control of the palace has once again returned to their hands.

The people Xiao Jin trusts must not be soft-headed. For the rest of the people sent by Emperor Kang Ze, Zhang Shuming will make proper arrangements.

To everyone's surprise, the imperial edict of Emperor Kangze appointing Xiao Jin as the deputy commander of the imperial army was sent to the palace the next day, ordering Xiao Jin to take office immediately.

"My lord, what does the emperor mean by this?" Jiang Yang looked at the imperial decree and couldn't understand it. Could it be that because the lord handed over the tiger talisman, the emperor no longer fears him?

No, so many soldiers and horses in Jincheng are still in the hands of the prince.

Jiang Yang didn't understand, but Xiao Jin understood that if he didn't do anything, there would be almost no mistakes. Appointing him as the deputy commander of the imperial army seemed to give him real power, but the position of deputy commander was used to take responsibility. If something happened, even if two eunuchs in the palace were fighting, the emperor could blame it on the imperial guards, saying that they did not maintain order in the palace.

This letter of appointment is used to manipulate him.

"Let's go, take a look at Ren."

"yes."

After Xiao Jin changed into his official robe, he took Jiang Yang out of the mansion.

Just as Xiao Jin left, another group of people from the palace arrived again.

"Princess, there are people in the palace, saying that the empress wants to see the concubine, and let the concubine enter the palace to talk."

Su Ying raised her eyelids, the queen is Xiao Jue's own mother, when "she" was entangled Xiao Jue with all her strength, the queen sent someone to warn her, in other words, it was disgusting to look at her even more, If she is fine, she will not be an eyesore when entering the palace.

"Not going."

Mother Zhao went to the room with a snack and said softly: "Princess, the queen wants to see you. Even if you refuse this time, she will find other reasons to let you enter the palace afterwards. Why don't the old slaves just follow the concubine into the palace and have a look?" Bar."

Su Ying enters the palace in public, the queen can't do anything to her.

Su Ying frowned impatiently. If she hadn't come back to get that little thing, she would really not be willing to come back to deal with those people who are full of gossip.

"Then listen to Mother Zhao."

Now the palace is under the control of their people, but before leaving the palace, Su Ying still mobilized a team of guards to guard the two children's yard.

"Princess, please, the empress is already waiting for you in the palace."

Su Ying got into the carriage and went directly to the gate of the palace.

This is her second time here, just like before, full of repulsion.

After entering the palace, there are maids waiting outside the palace gate.

"Slaves see the princess, and the princess please."

After the maid saluted properly, she took Su Ying to Fengwu Palace.

The palace maid took Su Ying directly into Fengwu Palace, and asked Su Ying to wait outside the door for a while before she went in to report.

The queen didn't make her wait too long, and let her directly into the palace.

The queen in a vermilion phoenix robe sat lazily but dignifiedly on a chair, the phoenix hairpin on her head was shining brightly when she turned her head, she was nearly forty years old, but she was well maintained, and she looked like a girl. Thirty or so.

Su Ying took a cursory glance and then looked away, "See the queen."

The queen laughed contemptuously when she saw that Su Ying's actions were not even standard in saluting.

If you want to say why Xiao Jin is not stupid, he obviously fell on this woman once, but brought her back when he had the opportunity to return to Beijing, it is really stupid.

"It's been a long time since I've had the tea that Princess Qi offered me. Go and bring me the tea."

The maid brought the tea that had been prepared long ago to Su Ying on a tray.

Su Ying didn't know what the empress wanted to do, so she reached for the teacup, who knew that the moment her fingertips touched the cup, she felt the temperature of the cup was too hot.

Su Ying's eyes flashed a look of coldness, these women will also play these shameful little tricks.

To the Queen's surprise, Su Ying brought the teacup to her without changing his face.

The empress was slightly surprised, but she didn't show it at all on her face. She only thought that the maid was not doing well, and then reached out to take the teacup.

"ah!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as her hand touched the teacup, she was scalded and let go, and Su Ying also let go of her hand at that moment.

All the hot tea was spilled on the queen.

The queen was so hot that she jumped up.

"Su Ying, you are so brave!"

Su Ying stood up slowly, her eyes looked a little innocent, "Why can't the empress be steady?"

"You! You clearly did it on purpose, knowing that Ben Gong didn't hold it firmly and then let go." Damn it, the teacup is so hot, how did she not change her face!

This temperature is really nothing to Su Ying, she is a practitioner, if she can't stand the high temperature, why do she practice.

"The queen let go first, is the tea too hot?"

The empress was so angry that even if she was wearing a dress, the tea would be uncomfortably hot when she spilled it. After she gave Su Ying a cold look, she went down with the maid to change her clothes and wiped the medicine for the burn.

When she came back, she saw Su Ying leisurely sitting in her inner hall eating snacks.

The anger that the queen had just suppressed surged up again. She should have thought that Su Ying's temperament was messed up before, but now after going around that wild place, it became even more serious. She wanted to let her Be obedient and obedient, I am afraid that you have to change another method.

Thinking of this, the Queen's face softened a lot, "I heard that you and King Qi stayed in the Northern Wilderness for a while, did you live a miserable life there? It's good to come back now, and I was also in the past. Watching King Qi grow up, treating him like his own son, now that he can return to the capital, I am very pleased. By the way, the jade Ruyi that I gave you before, when you go back, you will Put it directly in King Qi's study?"

Yu Ruyi?

Su Ying paused slightly, and some fragments flashed in his mind.

That was before Xiao Jin came back from victory. One day the queen let her into the palace suddenly, and after chatting for a while, she rewarded her with a jade wish, saying that this jade wish had been consecrated and could protect Xiao Jin from returning safely. , let her take it back and put it in Xiao Jin's study.
