Chapter 65
Su Ruiran thought about it silently, what's going on, Nangong Ling suddenly disappeared in the secret room, and then went back silently, did she not even say a word to herself?Could it be that he, like himself, sent someone to inquire last night to confirm that he has returned.

Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly heard Wang Momo say: "However, miss, the servant just went to the prince's place to inquire about the news from the servant who was washing the clothes, and the servant accidentally saw the cuff of a piece of clothing they were washing. Above, there is the embroidery of the ghost face painted by the lady last night for the servants to see."

Su Ruiran was taken aback when she heard that, and hurriedly asked: "Have you ever asked whose clothes that is?"

Wang Momo shook her head and said, "There are too many clothes washed there, it's really hard to tell them apart. The only thing that can be confirmed is that it must be someone close to Duke Huai. Besides, the servants don't dare to ask too many questions, for fear that they will get suspicious."

Su Ruiran frowned slightly. According to the analysis of these situations, there are only two possibilities.One is that Nangong Ling has an unclear relationship with this ghost-masked man, and the other is that this ghost-masked man has already mixed into Nangong Ling's side, so Nangong Ling will be in danger.

Although I don't know the purpose of this ghost-masked man holding me hostage and saving me last night, but I still don't know whether the other party is an enemy or a friend, so I can't take it lightly.

No, she must remind Nangong Ling as soon as possible, and tell him that there is such a dangerous existence beside him.

"Nurse Wang, change my clothes quickly."

Wang Momo looked surprised and said, "Miss, where are you going?"

"Of course I'm going to see Prince Huai." She replied decisively, but Wang Momo suddenly stopped her and said, "Miss, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to go there at this time. One is that it's still early, but it's the young lady who went there so blatantly. I'm afraid it would be even more inappropriate to let someone with a heart look at it."

She calmed down, leaned on the chair and sat down slowly.

What Wang Momo said was right, at this time, I should not be impulsive, otherwise I might miss a big deal.

"Why don't miss have breakfast first."

Su Ruiran nodded.

Grandma Wang was finally relieved when she saw it. Fortunately, the young lady was not impulsive and wanted to go out to arrange breakfast immediately.However, Su Ruiran suddenly grabbed him, and said to her: "Don't rush out, before that, you have to do one more thing."

"What's the matter?"

Su Ruiran's eyes fell under the bed, and she continued: "Because it's still early and there's no one around, let's get rid of the clothes first."

Wang Momo suddenly realized, and immediately said "yes".

She has nothing to worry about when Wang Momo is doing things. By the time the breakfast is delivered, she has already analyzed the pros and cons in her heart, and she has become more calm, and has made a rough plan for the future.First, change into the clothes of the servant girl, and like last time, Wang Momo will take her to Nangong Ling to ask for clarification, and then go to give the jade pendant to Daddy, and then they can go face to face with the saint together.

Thinking of this, she suddenly thought of a question.

Jade pendant, where do you keep your own jade pendant?

When she came back last night, all she could think about was the ghost face, and she even forgot the jade pendant she stole from Nangong Ling.

Thinking of it now, she immediately searched her whole body, but found nothing.I searched the bed and other corners of the room, but still did not see any trace of the jade pendant.She was in a hurry, and suddenly thought, it might be in the clothes she changed last night.Didn't Mother Wang take the clothes and dispose of them?Don't even have jade pendants...

Thinking of this, she immediately rushed towards the door. She took it back with great difficulty, but don't let such a thing happen again.

However, as soon as she rushed to the door, she saw Wang Momo bringing a few servants in with food.

Fortunately, she knew martial arts, so she stopped in time so that she didn't run into Wang Momo.

As soon as Wang Momo entered the yurt, she was shocked when she saw her rushing towards her. The thing in her hand almost fell to the ground, but fortunately she was supported by the servants next to her.

Su Ruiran was also taken aback. Seeing the boiling hot soup spilling out, she hurried to help her. When she touched the porcelain bowl, her fingertip felt as if she had been pricked, and she flinched back from the heat.

"Miss, are you alright?" Wang Momo immediately put the food in her hand into the hands of other maids, and stepped forward to check Su Ruiran's fingers.Fortunately, it was only a slight burn and nothing serious.

"I'm fine, Mammy, let them go down first, I have something important to ask you."

Everyone retreated as ordered, and Su Ruiran specially dragged Wang Momo to the inside.

"Miss, what is the matter?"

Although there were only two masters and servants in the room, Su Ruiran was still extra careful, and said to her with a suppressed voice: "Did you take care of all those clothes for me?"

Wang Momo nodded and said: "Miss, don't worry, the servants have been dealt with properly, and no one has seen them."

"Then did you see what was in the clothes?"

"What's the matter?" Wang Momo was stunned by her question.

Su Ruiran didn't hide anything, and said directly: "It's my jade pendant, is it in your clothes?"

Wang Momo was stunned for a moment, but she quickly came back to her senses and replied decisively: "No, the slave girl checked it before taking it out and throwing it away, and there is nothing inside." Seeing Su Ruiran's face darken, Wang Momo suddenly Guessing something, she asked cautiously: "Miss, could it be that the jade pendant is missing?"

Su Ruiran didn't speak, but nodded.

Wang Momo thought for a while, and immediately said: "The servant immediately went out and pulled out the servant who entered the young lady's room this morning for interrogation."

However, Su Ruiran stopped her, shook her head and said: "On weekdays, the people who can enter and leave my room are the slaves sent by the palace to serve them, and there are no strangers. If they are so motivating to question them, if they spread out, they will fall into the trap. handle."

"But Miss, what should I do?" Wang Momo frowned.

Su Ruiran was silent for a moment, it is unlikely that the jade pendant fell into her room.If it wasn't in that dress, it meant that the jade pendant had disappeared when I came back last night.So now there are only two possibilities, one is that it was accidentally dropped when I came back yesterday, and the other is that it was stolen by someone.

And now here, there happened to be one person who was most suspected of taking his jade pendant.

Nangong Ling, he came here last night to get back the jade pendant, and he stole it back while he was not paying attention, and it was regarded as giving back to him in the same way.

But even so, thinking about it this way, she still felt that Nangong Ling was really despicable.

"Miss, what should we do now? Didn't the master say that you want the lady to wear the jade for today's face-to-face?"

Su Ruiran was silent for a while, the matter has come to this, how can she avoid today's situation?She didn't stay silent for too long and quickly made a decision, she said to Wang Momo: "Mom, immediately change me into a servant's clothes, or take me to Duke Huai's yurt like last time. There are some things that I have to ask him to clarify."

The slave opened the curtain, and a familiar scent of heavy water came to the nostrils.

That was the smell she had smelled from Nangong Ling before, with a bit of depth and solemnity mixed with elegance.

The servants in the room had already been called back, and the windows on all sides were half-closed. There was faint morning light coming through the cracks in the windows, making the light in the room a bit dim.

There was a palace lantern beside the desk case, and Nangong Ling sat beside the case, watching him, as if deliberately waiting.The slender fingers are placed on the table, with slender knuckles.

"The courtier has met Prince Huai."

He didn't say a word, he just waved at her and signaled her to come over.

However, Su Ruiran only took a step or two forward, and still kept a distance from him.

"Why? Didn't you come here in such a hurry to find out what happened last night? Now you dare not approach?"

She didn't answer, but raised her head to look at him, only to see that under the reflection of the palace lantern, half of his handsome face was in the darkness, the weather was uncertain, but it only made people more unpredictable.She still spoke in a decent tone: "Since the lord knows the purpose of the minister's visit, please let the lord understand why the lord suddenly disappeared last night?"

The corner of Nangong Ling's mouth raised a faint smile, he first asked: "Did you see a grimace in that secret room last night?"

Su Ruiran nodded, but when she thought that she was taking a urinate at that time, she couldn't help but look a little guilty, she didn't dare to look into Nangong Ling's eyes, only to hear Nangong Ling's voice continue: "I just saw that ghost-masked man last night. I chased after him, but it was not the way we entered the secret room before, and when I went back to check at the end, I found that there was no one in the secret room, and this king was about to ask you, but you came first."

She was also taken aback when she heard the words, she didn't expect Nangong Ling to go back to find herself in the end.

But at that time, he should have gone out along that road, no wonder Nangong Ling didn't find him.After figuring out what happened last night, she told how she discovered the secret passage and how she got out of the secret room.

Hearing this, Nangong Ling didn't show much surprise on his face, he just nodded thoughtfully and said, "I see."

Su Ruiran continued to ask: "But does the lord know who the ghost-masked man is? Before today's secret passage, the lord was injured and fell into a coma. It was thanks to that man who rescued him at that time."

Nangong Ling shook his head, without any surprise on his face, he said: "I don't know, but at least one thing is certain, he didn't mean to harm you, otherwise you wouldn't be able to stand in front of this king now."

Su Ruiran did not refute, what Nangong Ling said was indeed reasonable.Thinking of what Wang Momo said earlier this morning, Su Ruiran immediately reminded him: "But the prince must be careful, if he guesses correctly, that ghost-masked man may have sneaked into the prince's side."

Nangong Ling only gave a faint "oh" when he heard the words, and then asked back: "Really?"

Su Ruiran nodded, and replied affirmatively: "That's true, the prince must be careful, the other party must have another purpose."

"I see." Nangong Ling responded unhurriedly.

Su Ruiran's words have come to this point, he only thinks that he knows it well, and no longer talks to him on this issue, but said to him: "However, there is one more thing that I still want to ask the lord for proof, the lord can take advantage of the escape last night At the same time, the jade pendant of Jingchen's daughter was stolen again."

Nangong Ling laughed back when he heard the words, and there was a hint of indifference in his tone, he said: "Whatever this king wants, you can take it blatantly, and you can't steal it. What's the matter? Could it be that your things disappeared again?"

Su Ruiran didn't speak, hesitated for a moment, but in the end she just said: "Thank you for your concern, my lord, I don't dare to bother my lord with my daughter's things."

After speaking, she turned to Nangong Ling to help her body, and said: "In this case, the servant girl will disturb the prince first, and the servant girl will leave first."

She turned to leave, but Nangong Ling suddenly said "wait".

Su Ruiran stopped, looked at him, and only heard him say to herself: "Since you reminded me about the ghost-masked man, then I will also tell you one thing."

"My lord, please speak."

"Your jade pendant is with Nangong Cheng."
