Chapter 492 The Queen Believes in Us
"My Lady Concubine, please forgive me. I really can't bear this hardship. Look, my face has frostbite and my mouth is full of blisters."
Zhu Mingliang said aggrievedly, pointed at his face with his hand, then turned up his lips, revealing a mouth full of blisters.
Su Nuan was also speechless. She asked Falcon to hide the person, but she didn't expect that he actually hid the person in the mountains.
Although Zhu Mingliang is a handicraftsman, he has taken good care of himself to be fair-skinned, plump and white.
It was a cold winter, on the mountain, in a thatched hut, he couldn't stand such an environment.
Su Nuan felt a little sorry for the other person and subconsciously glared at Falcon, but she regretted it afterwards. Falcon had dark skin to begin with and if you didn't look closely, you couldn't tell the changes in his skin. When she glared at him just now, Su Nuan discovered that Falcon's cheeks were also red and swollen, and she would probably see a mouthful of bubbles if she turned over his lips.
She was doing it to make money, but what was Falcon doing for? He obeyed her orders unconditionally. She felt a little sorry for Zhu Mingliang, and even more sorry for Falcon.
"Xinyi, do you have any ointment for frostbite?"
Su Nuan turned around and asked Liao Xinyi.
However, Liao Xinyi frowned and looked like she was worried about something, and didn't hear her question at all.
"Xinyi?"
Su Nuan raised her voice and called out again.
Liao Xinyi finally came back to her senses. "What did you say?"
"I say, do you have any ointment for frostbite?"
"Yes, it's in the medicine chest. If you want it now, I'll go get it for you in the carriage."
The medicine box was prepared for going to the general's mansion. It contained skin-growing ointment for Xia Changxiao, and wound medicine for Xia Changze.
"Then please help me get it."
Liao Xinyi hesitated for a moment, but still nodded in agreement.
"It's the Concubine who knows how to care for people." Zhu Mingliang stroked his face happily and said proudly to Falcon.
Falcon was a little overwhelmed by Su Nuan's glare and ignored Zhu Mingliang at all.
Su Nuan, however, saw everything about the two of them.
After a while, Liao Xinyi came back with the ointment and handed it to Su Nuan.
Zhu Mingliang smiled and reached out to take it.
There was only one box of ointment, and Su Nuan suspected that if it fell into his hands, Falcon would not get any, so they should share it. So she opened the lid and signaled Zhu Mingliang to scoop some and apply it on his face.
Zhu Mingliang was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that the prince's concubine would be reluctant to give up even a box of ointment. This also shows that this box of ointment is precious and he has to dig more.
I used one finger to scoop out half the box, but I still felt a little unsatisfied.
Su Nuan frowned, said nothing, and pushed the remaining ointment towards Falcon.
Falcon hadn't reacted yet and just stared at Su Nuan blankly.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and paint it. Learn from others."
Su Nuan felt like she was disappointed in him.
Falcon was delighted, and carefully scooped some ointment on his hand and applied it on his cheek.
Seeing the small amount he had dug out, Su Nuan couldn't help but scoop out a large piece herself and smear it on Falcon's face.
After both of them finished applying the ointment, Su Nuan returned the ointment to Liao Xinyi and said, "Is this ointment difficult to mix?"
"No trouble, you can give them this box first, and I'll make another one when I get back."
"Okay, ask Manager Ding for any herbs you need."
After saying that, Su Nuan stuffed the ointment into Falcon's hands and said, "Go find a medicine box and give him some."
Falcon happily took the ointment into his arms, and then asked, "Madam, are you here today to find someone to do something?"
He has been with Su Nuan longer than Lie Feng, and can guess her thoughts more accurately. He knows that she came here to find someone because she has private matters to attend to.
Su Nuan originally wanted to find Song Qi and Chu Qi to look for Ye Xiaobai, but neither of them was there at the moment.
"Your Majesty, you want someone to find Ye Xiaobai, right?" Liefeng suddenly interrupted, "Your Majesty, Lieying and I can do this. We promise not to let anyone know. Even if His Highness asks, we won't tell anyone."
Although Falcon didn't know why he had to look for Ye Xiaobai, he trusted Liefeng, so he nodded in agreement when Liefeng said this, and finally added, "Please trust us, Madam."
Su Nuan didn't have time to think too much at this moment. She had to find Ye Xiaobai before the Imperial City Bureau caught him.
"It will not be easy for the two of you to find him without using the power of the secret guards. Liefeng will send me to the Guang'an Palace first, and Lieying will notify Chu Qi and Song Qi, and let them look for him together."
"My queen, would you like to ask His Highness to accompany you to the Guang'an Palace?"
Liefeng reminded.
It was indeed inappropriate for Concubine Xia to rush over to visit Guang'an Prince's Mansion right after the incident. It would be reasonable for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to bring the concubine to visit his uncle.
If the person who broke into Prince Guang'an's Mansion at night was really Ye Xiaobai, then this matter could not be hidden from Mu Yunting. It would be better to tell him earlier to see what his attitude is.
After making the decision, Su Nuan didn't waste a moment and got on the carriage back to the Prince's Mansion.
At this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had just returned from the Imperial Palace. When he heard that an assassin had entered Prince Guang'an's Mansion, he wanted to go directly to Prince Guang'an's Mansion. However, he also heard that Princess Guang'an was injured, and it was not convenient for him, a grown man, to visit her. So he took a detour back to the Mansion and prepared to take his Concubine Xia with him.
The two met at the gate tacitly.
"Where have you been?"
As soon as they met, Mu Yunting asked first.
It was just the Chen hour and the Si hour had just begun. According to the time calculation, she should not have just returned from outside.
"I was planning to go back to the General's Mansion, but on the way I heard that something happened in the Guang'an Palace and the princess was injured. So I thought about coming back and asking Your Highness to accompany me to the Guang'an Palace. I wanted to visit the princess."
"I was just thinking of asking you to go to the Guang'an Palace with me."
Mu Yunting didn't doubt Su Nuan's purpose at all, and he kindly took her to the carriage.
As soon as Su Nuan sat down, Zhang Shun urged the horse to move.
"Your Highness, I have something to tell you."
"what's up?"
Mu Yunting looked at Su Nuan and asked softly.
"I suspect that the person who broke into Prince Guang'an's mansion last night was Ye Xiaobai."
"It's him?"
"I'm not sure, I just think he's a good possibility."
"Why do you feel that way?"
Su Nuan was a little nervous. Mu Yunting's expression did not change at all when he asked the question. She was not sure what he was thinking.
Taking a deep breath, Su Nuan continued, "I guess Xiaobai should go to Guang'an Palace to find Lengyue."
"Is he still related to Leng Yue?"
"I think they are a couple."
"Oh? You knew about this a long time ago?"
"No, I saw them having a secret meeting a few days ago. Ever since Prince Guang'an escorted Leng Yue to the imperial city, he seems to have a good impression of Leng Yue, and their relationship is getting closer. Xiaobai definitely can't stand it. Leng Yue went out yesterday and didn't come back. Most likely, she went to see Prince Guang'an. Xiaobai must have been so angry that he went to Prince Guang'an's mansion."
Su Nuan felt that Ye Xiaobai and Leng Yue were not in a relationship, but firstly, she herself could not clearly explain what their relationship was. Secondly, only by treating them as a couple could she explain Ye Xiaobai's behavior of breaking into Prince Guang'an's mansion at night. It also gave Ye Xiaobai a character whose lover had been taken away, making it easier for her to plead for him later.
"So you want me to take you to the Guang'an Palace not to visit the princess, but to get information."
Mu Yunting said lightly.
