Chapter 194 There is a high possibility that Zong Kui is hiding there
To get to the main gate from the Su family's old lady's yard, one has to pass through three crescent gates and a small garden. Although Su Mingzhu and Nanny Ding lowered their voices due to the long distance, both Chunya and Su Jixue could hear it clearly.
Su Jixue and Chunya didn't care about the undercurrents behind the scenes. Their attention as master and servant was all on what would happen after entering the palace.
For Su Jixue, what is at stake right now is not only the whereabouts of Zong Kui, but also Ji Xue's mother.
It was not just Zong Kui who caused Ji Xue's tragic fate. Ji Xue's biological mother had made a deal with Dahuang Mountain from the very beginning.
Therefore, Su Jixue was really curious about who her mother was.
She couldn't wait for the mother and daughter to meet each other.
Her beloved mother was either Old Madam Su or Empress Dowager Xie.
In fact, Su Jixue had doubts about Old Lady Su, but Zong Kui was not in the Su family. Su Jixue did not believe that Ji Xue's mother dared to hide Zong Kui in a place where she could not reach.
Only by visiting the palace could Su Jixue confirm her doubts.
"Why is your young lady so dawdling when the palace urgently summons her?"
The shrill voice of a eunuch came from the main gate. The Su family was now guarded by the Jinwu Guards, and even the eunuch who had just announced the summons to Su Jian could not enter.
At this moment, the one who came to announce Su Mingzhu was a young eunuch. He seemed to have no patience and was already getting tired of waiting.
"I'll be right here." The Su family's doorman said with an apologetic smile at the door.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time, eunuch." Su Jixue walked out of the door and glanced indifferently at the young eunuch who came to the Su Mansion to call people. He looked like he was not yet of adult age, but his eyes looked very smart and clever.
The moment he saw Su Jixue, the young eunuch came forward with an apologetic smile: "Why is Miss Su out? The one being recruited in the palace is the Second Miss."
The young eunuch was one of the smartest ones in the palace, and he knew exactly who he could and could not offend.
"I am also involved in this matter. To avoid troubling the eunuch to come and summon others, let's go to the palace together." Su Jixue said calmly: "It is only thanks to the medicine given by the Queen Mother that I am safe and sound. Naturally, I have to go to the palace to express my gratitude."
At this moment, Su Mingzhu and Nanny Ding also arrived at the door and stood behind Su Jixue.
"So that's how it is. No wonder I saw a magpie when I went out today. It turns out that it's a coincidence that we can bring Miss Su into the palace. Please come in!" The little eunuch said with a smile.
Su Jixue nodded slightly and stepped onto the carriage that the Su family had prepared long ago.
Chunya followed him into the carriage.
Next came Su Mingzhu and Aunt Ding.
After Su Jixue got in the car, she closed her eyes and didn't want to communicate with Su Mingzhu at all.
"Sister, do you want to go to the Queen Mother to express your gratitude?" Su Mingzhu looked at Su Jixue. Her sister just said that she had something to do in the palace. Does that mean she wants to go to the Queen Mother?
Su Jixue didn't open her eyes, but she felt that something was wrong with Su Mingzhu's aura. It didn't seem like she was just asking a question.
But Su Jixue still replied calmly: "Since I entered the palace, I must want to express my gratitude. After all, if it weren't for the Queen Mother, I might not be able to be saved."
She deliberately made her injuries sound serious.
In this way, no matter whether Queen Mother Xie is Ji Xue's mother or not, everyone will know that Queen Mother Xie has the blood of the elves that can almost bring people back to life.
However, the blood of the elves is not easy to obtain.
"Then who will sister go to see first?" Su Mingzhu asked with some concern. She always thought that Su Jixue was here to help him.
Su Jixue slowly opened her eyes, looked at the nervous Su Mingzhu, and said calmly: "Since we're going, we must go to see the Queen Mother first. After all, we don't know how long it will take to investigate the case."
In fact, Su Jixue didn’t think so at first.
Only after Su Mingzhu asked this did Su Jixue suddenly change her mind.
Su Jixue could accept being stupid once, but if she tolerated it a second time, she would be asking for trouble.
"Sister!" Su Mingzhu's expression tightened. She looked at Su Jixue with some grievance: "You really don't care about Mingzhu anymore?!"
"Jixue is deeply favored by the Empress Dowager. It would be fine if she didn't enter the palace, but since she has entered the palace, she must go to thank the Empress Dowager first!" Su Jixue said casually, obviously not caring about Su Mingzhu's words.
Su Mingzhu frowned. The sister who had said so arrogantly that she could definitely protect her seemed to really not care about her anymore.
"Yes, the young lady did the right thing." Nanny Ding, who was observing from the side, spoke up. You have to know that when you go out, there are ears even on the other side of the wall. Moreover, the eunuch who announced the decree was in the car in front. Who knows if he could hear what was said.
Su Mingzhu bit her lip. At this moment, she knew very clearly that it would be difficult for her and Su Jixue to go back to the beginning.
Soon we arrived at the palace.
Su Jixue kept her word and immediately upon entering the palace, she said to the eunuch who brought them in, "Sir, I want to express my gratitude to the Queen Mother first. I wonder if you can help me."
"It's convenient. What's inconvenient about it?" The young eunuch rolled his eyes and immediately asked the young eunuch who followed him to take Su Mingzhu and the others back to report, while he himself took Su Jixue to the Cining Palace.
The Cining Palace is still closed now.
"Miss Su, my name is Xiao Fuzi. I am honored to bring you into the palace today." Seeing that Su Jixue had no intention of speaking to him, Xiao Fuzi couldn't help but speak.
"Eunuch Fu is very thoughtful." Su Jixue said lightly. The further she walked, the more indescribable feeling she felt.
Xiao Fuzi looked at Su Jixue with some admiration. She didn't expect that after entering the palace, Miss Su still looked calm and outstanding. No wonder she would be the future Princess Zhan.
In his opinion, Miss Su was extraordinary just because of her calmness.
Boom!
Bang bang bang!
Su Jixue's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and the blood in her body began to flow backwards for a moment, but returned to normal in the blink of an eye.
This is... a strong sensation that comes from the blood.
Su Jixue's eyes suddenly became sharp. She looked towards the distant southwest and asked, "Eunuch Fu, may I ask where that palace at the end is?"
She could feel that there was something there.
Xiao Fuzi glanced at the direction Su Jixue mentioned and quickly said, "Miss Su, that's the direction of the cold palace."
Cold palace?
Su Jixue paused and looked at Chunya in the air. She signaled to Chunya that there must be a problem there.
If it was in the direction of Cining Palace, it would be fine, at least it meant that the Empress Dowager might really have something related to Su Jixue.
Or, Zong Kui is there.
But if Su Jixue reacted to the cold palace, it would mean that there was something related to Ji Xue hidden in the cold palace.
Or, Zongkui is hiding.
Her question didn't seem to indicate a desire for an answer, but rather contained a subtle threat.
It's like he wants to use this question to gain something.
