Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 427 The Queen's Suspicion
She recalled the hardships she had experienced during this period, and her eyes became more and more red.At the time, she didn't think much of it, but seeing Xiao Lin now, all the repressed grievances and fears came out, maybe because only in front of Xiao Lin, she could let go of those strong disguises.

Jing Ning's tears fell like broken beads, Xiao Lin felt distressed for a while, he knew how difficult it was for Jing Ning since he left, he had to help him protect the general's mansion, and deal with all forces, Just thinking about it made his heart ache, he couldn't imagine how Jing Ning's thin shoulders could bear those burdens.

"Stop crying, I'm back, and I'll take good care of you. I'll take care of the future." Xiao Lin sighed softly and embraced Jing Ning in his arms, patting her on the back lightly as a gesture of comfort. comfort.

Jing Ning sobbed and nodded, at this moment there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, Jing Ning quickly pushed Xiao Lin away, she looked at the closet beside her, and gave Xiao Lin a look.Xiao Lin understood immediately, and hid in the closet with a dodge.

Jing Ning wiped away the tears on his face, slightly raised his lips and pulled out a faint smile.She opened the door and it turned out to be the Queen.

"I don't know if it's the empress, but the servants are far away. Please forgive me, the empress." Jing Ning bowed to the empress, turned sideways to make way for the empress.

"Why are Young Madam's eyes so red? Could it be that she cried just now?" The queen noticed that Jing Ning's dark complexion was not right, and immediately raised her eyebrows and asked.

Jing Ning was a little flustered, but she said with a normal face: "Going back to the empress, the maid just remembered her husband who was far away at the border, and couldn't help crying for a while, but at this time the empress laughed. .”

The queen nodded in understanding, and she sat down at the table, a little confusion flashed in her phoenix eyes from time to time.Jing Ning bit her lip and looked at the closet beside her, she said softly, "I don't know what's the matter with the empress?"

The closet is not too big, but Xiao Lin is tall, hiding in it will definitely be uncomfortable, Jing Ning worried that Xiao Lin would not be able to hold back his voice after a long time, and if the empress finds out that he returned to the capital without authorization, it will inevitably be another A lot of trouble.So at this time, Jing Ning only hoped that the empress would leave quickly.

"Based on what kind of person do you think the emperor is?" The queen seemed to be a little hesitant, and finally made up her mind to smell it.

Jing Ning was taken aback when she heard the words, she didn't expect the Queen to ask her this question, and she and Zhao Yu are not familiar, what does the Queen mean by this?
"My daughter thinks that the emperor treats others generously, values ​​love and righteousness, and is far superior in intelligence and strategy. He is really the pride of heaven." Jing Ning originally wanted to say a few more good words to make the queen happy, and let her leave earlier. But she really couldn't think of any other advantages of Zhao Yu.

The queen frowned when she heard the words, she sighed and said: "I don't want to hear you say these things, do you think the emperor is different from the past few days?"

Jing Ning almost instantly remembered the scene when she met Zhao Yu just now, and she hesitated a bit, wondering if she should tell the queen what happened just now.If the queen is dissatisfied, I don't know what will happen.

The Empress seemed to see Jing Ning's uneasiness, she frowned and said, "You say so, I forgive you for your innocence."

"Just now when I was playing chess with Ms. Cai, I saw the emperor. It may be because I have been busy in the past few days. The emperor's stature does not seem to be as tall and straight as before, and his thoughts seem to be in a trance. Today, when Ms. Cai called the emperor's cousin, The emperor seems to be a bit dazed." Jing Ning was looking forward to the empress leaving quickly, and he didn't want to think about it for a while, so he simply said everything he had doubts about.After she finished speaking, she stood aside quietly, waiting for the queen to speak.

The queen frowned even more after listening to this. On the day Zhao Yu ascended the throne, she faintly felt that something was wrong. In the past, when Zhao Yu saw her, the smile on his face would not be as false as it was to others, but recently Zhao Yu came to greet him every day, but he seemed to have to come.

Although it was not obvious, the queen could still see that he was a little restless, and seemed to be eager to leave.

The queen thought she was thinking too much, but after she asked the imperial dining room, her doubts became more and more serious. She remembered that Zhao Yu didn't like spicy food since he was a child, and the food on the table was basically not spicy, but in recent days, the imperial dining room The meals prepared were all too spicy, but Zhao Yu didn't say anything, which made the queen feel a little uneasy.

She glanced at Jing Ning, and said in a slightly low tone, "I don't want a third person to know about this matter. You'd better forget about it."

Jing Ning nodded quickly and said, "Please rest assured, Empress, Jingning has not seen Empress today."

Jing Ning breathed a sigh of relief, naturally she wouldn't gossip about such things, but she couldn't guarantee that no third person would know, after all Xiao Lin was still hiding in the closet at this time.

Seeing this, the queen nodded in satisfaction, and after talking to Jing Ning casually, she returned to her bedroom with a worried face.Jing Ning reckoned that the Queen must have gone far away, she immediately closed the door, and when she turned around, Xiao Lin embraced her again.

"Hurry up and go back to the residence, if someone finds you in the palace, it will definitely cause trouble." Although Jing Ning was reluctant, but for Xiao Lin's safety, he still urged him to leave the palace.

Xiao Lin shook his head, and said with firm eyes: "I will live in the palace to protect you these few days, so you don't have to worry about me."

"Does Daddy know about this?" Jing Ning thought of Father Xiao's serious face, his eyes flickered slightly.

There was a bit of embarrassment on Xiao Lin's face, he didn't tell his father about it, otherwise, according to the old general Xiao's temperament, Xiao Lin would definitely lose a layer of skin.

Looking at Xiao Lin's expression, Jing Ning knew that Xiao's father didn't know about it. She sighed helplessly and said, "This matter not only involves you and me, but if someone with a heart uses this matter to slander the General's House, it will arouse the emperor's suspicion. So what?"

Xiao Lin also frowned when he heard the words, he knew that he was a little reckless this time and didn't consider these issues, but he just wanted to stay by Jingning's side at this moment.

"Ning'er is so cruel to drive me away." Xiao Lin lowered her brows, and there was a bit of grievance on her tough face.

Seeing this, Jing Ning couldn't help but burst out laughing, she stretched out her finger and tapped Xiao Lin's forehead, and several bright red finger prints appeared on his forehead.

"Forget it, you will stay here today, but you have to leave tomorrow." Jing Ning sighed and finally took a step back. After all, she also missed Xiao Lin very much in her heart, so naturally she couldn't bear to push him away this time. .

Xiao Lin laughed lowly when he heard the words, his starry eyes were fixed on Jing Ning, as if he couldn't get enough of it.
