Ye Jinshu's expression was solemn and Xiao Hong was startled. She thought that something big had happened and stuttered, "What …" What's the matter, miss? "

Ye JinSu frowned and her expression relaxed. She said with a serious tone, "Go outside and find out about the news from the imperial court. Tell me everything when you get back." Don't let anyone find out, especially Meng Lan, okay? "

Xiao Hong didn't understand, but she still nodded her head seriously. What Miss thinks is important must be important.

Ye Jinxiu lowered her eyes, her hands unconsciously gripping the piece of jade.

I hope it's not that complicated.

It was windy outside, and the locust tree in the yard had long since withered away. Ye Jinsu stood at the window and looked outside. There was only a lone swing floating in the wind. Chun Hua came in from the outside and closed a few wind-blown windows.

"Miss, the weather has turned cold recently. Don't blow at the window, be careful not to catch a cold."

Ye Jinsu turned her head and looked at her indifferently.

"Xiao Hong should have already told you." Ye Jinsu leaned against the window and spoke.

Chun Hua's hand that was closing the window stopped. His expression turned serious as he knelt down. Chun Hua kowtowed towards Ye Jinsu and said, "This servant knows that Miss trusts this servant. This servant will not disappoint Miss."

Ye Jinling smiled and helped her up, then said slowly, "I have always only had Little Red and Meng Lan by my side. Little Red had followed me for so many years, so I naturally have confidence in her. Meng Lan was bold and meticulous. She also knew medicine and had saved me many times. I see that you are a clever man, a wise man, and a useful one. "

Chun Hua lowered his head. He didn't understand the meaning behind Ye Jinsu's words.

Ye Jinsu paused for a moment as he played with the two chess pieces in his hands, one black and one white. The only sound that could be heard was Ye Jinsu's soft voice in the quiet room. It wasn't loud, but it contained a pressure that couldn't be ignored.

"Smart people always have food wherever they go. However, smart people need to pay attention to smart people," Ye Jinsu looked at her as she emphasized each word, "Remember, don't let smart people mislead you."

Chun Hua's entire body trembled. He kneeled to the ground with a thump and said with a trembling voice, "Miss, this servant will definitely remember Miss's teachings!"

Ye Jinsu was silent for a moment as she quietly looked at the nervous Chunhua.

With a faint smile, Ye Jinsu took a sip of tea and regained her usual tone, "Rise. It's good that you have remembered it."

Chun Hua was a smart person and a smart person. It was a pity that deep in his bones, he was arrogant and ambitious. Even though he appeared to be a bit calmer, he had always been obedient. Now that Ye Jinsu had given her such an important mission, she was given a few words of advice in advance, and was reminded that she was from the Twilight Garden.

"Recently, I've enjoyed eating those snacks written down in Chen. It's too inconvenient to get Xiao Hong to help me buy them, so I might as well let you go from now on." Ye Jinsu put down the chess piece in her hands and said.

Chun Hua's eyes flashed, understanding the meaning behind his words. He bowed towards Ye Jinsu and said, "Your servant obeys, but this Chen Ji's dessert is a large shop in the capital. Even buying it would require half a day's worth of queue. Miss, please do not be anxious."

Ye Jinsu smiled faintly, "How can that be? Just rush to buy it tomorrow. It's alright to be late."

With that, Chun Hua lowered his head and left. She was a smart person, so she knew what it meant. Buying pastries was just an excuse, the main point was to find out about the one in the east garden.

It was the beginning of August, and autumn was coming in a few days.

When night fell, Xiao Hong quietly came back from the back door with half a bag of Hibiscus Cake in her arms. When she bumped into Meng Lan, Xiao Hong was so shocked that she almost spilled her Hibiscus cake. Meng Lan looked at her strangely. "Where did you go in the afternoon?" I haven't seen you all afternoon? "

Xiao Hong was a little nervous, swallowed her saliva, and calmly lifted the Hibiscus cake in her arms, "The last time Miss went out to say that Chen's Hibiscus Cake was delicious, she told me to buy it. Who would have known that I would be late, I actually queued up for a long time."

"It was not until the end that I got half a bag." Xiao Hong pouted and said regretfully.

Meng Lan looked at the paper bag in Xiao Hong's hands. She laughed and said, "Then why aren't you sending it over to the little miss? I'm afraid the little miss is waiting for something."

Only then did Xiao Hong manage to escape and ran to Ye Jinsu's room.

"What did you hear?" Ye Jinsu looked at her and asked.

Xiao Hong put down the hibiscus cake that was used as a cover and frowned. She had been out for a whole day and had heard quite a bit of gossip, but most of it was still incomprehensible to her. It would be difficult for her to express it again.

After a while, Xiao Hong lowered her voice and said, "Most of the people outside are saying that Prince Ning is the choice of the crown prince."

"But from what I heard, it seems like there are many people in the court who oppose Ning Wang being the crown prince. So, it's still unknown whether Ning Wang can become the crown prince or not. "

Ye Jinsu narrowed her eyes and said, "Are you saying that the imperial court is now divided into two factions?"

Xiao Hong stared with its eyes wide open and nodded its head. That was the meaning!

"It also says that those who oppose Ning Wang becoming Crown Prince are mostly pedantic old officials who advocate for a longer line in accordance with ancestral rules. "But there are also many people from the imperial clan and the soldiers in the imperial court who support His Highness King Ning."

"But it doesn't seem to be that many." Xiao Hong said regretfully.

If Ning Wang became the crown prince, then their young miss would have a chance to become the crown prince's consort. At that time, let's see if that Xie Clan still dares to act arrogantly in front of them!

Ye Jinsu's face turned serious and her tone turned deep, "Did you hear that? Which court officials are there?"

Xiao Hong shook its head in confusion.

Ye Jinxiu sighed. There were quite a few of these things already.

The matters of the royal family were not to be underestimated. The others chattered a few times but didn't dare to say much. What's more, the outside world only knew one thing about the matters of the palace. They didn't know the other two, and didn't know which part of it was true and which part was false.

However, just as Xiao Hong had said, all the members of the royal family and soldiers were supporting Ning Wang's words. Ye Jinsu lowered her eyes and clenched the jade beside her. She was afraid that the situation wasn't good.

Little Red looked at Ye Jinsu's somewhat worried expression and asked, "Miss, are you worried that His Highness Ning Wang won't be able to get the position of crown prince?"

Unknowingly, Ye Jinxiu frowned. She held the jade in her hand and said softly, "I'm worried about his life."

Xiao Hong covered her mouth as she stared at him in astonishment.

"How could that be? He's the prince, the prince your majesty loves the most! " Xiao Hong said in disbelief. With the blessing of the Son of Heaven, how could his life be in danger?

Ye Jinxiu lowered her head and her gaze fell on the piece of jade on her waist. A matching white tassel was tied on the jade. It hung by the side of Ye Jinsu's plain dress, slightly swaying. Ye Jinsu couldn't help but fall into a trance as she looked through the jade and thought back to when Ning Yunxiao had given her the jade that day.

Sighing, Ye Jinsu softly said, "Let's hope so."

It was a big tree that attracted the wind, and its achievements were great.

It was the biggest taboo.
