Chapter 291 I don't feel safe
She hated Xiao Jin at that time and wished he would die on the battlefield, which she didn't want. Later, the Queen reprimanded her severely, and she took the jade ruyi away.
After bringing the jade ruyi back, she discovered that there were some things hidden in the jade ruyi, which were the "evidence" of Xiao Jin's treason!
But she hoped that Xiao Jin would die at that time, and even though she knew what those things meant, she still put the jade ruyi in his study.
Su Ying gathered her thoughts and looked at the queen, whose eyes and brows were filled with a chill.
When the queen met her gaze, she felt her heart suddenly twitch and goose bumps stood up all over her body.
When she wanted to see the look in Su Ying's eyes again, she had already lowered her eyes, making it impossible to see.
"Yes, didn't the Queen tell me to put it directly in his study?" When Su Ying raised her eyes again, there was a confused look in her eyes.
Su Ying's change was so fast that the Queen was unable to react for a moment. However, the confused and completely ignorant look in front of her was consistent with the Queen's impression of Su Ying.
When the Queen saw that she didn't know the secret of the jade ruyi, the smile in the corner of her eyes deepened.
"Yes, it seems that this blessed jade ruyi is really useful. Didn't the King of Qi return victorious that time?"
"Such a good jade ruyi, Queen, please prepare one for the eldest prince next time."
The queen's smile paused, as she felt that Su Ying's words were full of hidden meaning.
"You have been away from the capital for quite some time. You were not good at managing the affairs of the palace and the harem before. I feel sorry for you, so I found two capable assistants for you. They were all taught by me personally. If you have any questions, just ask them. Let them serve the King of Qi well and help you share the King of Qi's worries."
While the queen was speaking, a palace maid came in with two fair-skinned and beautiful women.
After they entered the room, they walked up to Su Ying and bowed, "Greetings to the princess."
Su Ying understood that the Queen was trying to place spies into the palace.
"Who will pay for their food and expenses?"
The queen was stunned and didn't react for a moment, "W-what?"
Su Ying repeated patiently, "Their expenses, food, accommodation and transportation, are paid for by the Queen?"
The Queen understood, but seemed not to quite understand. Was Su Ying arguing with her about the expenses for two people?
"The person I give you will naturally be under the charge of Prince Qi's Mansion."
"don't want."
Queen: “…”
"What?" The queen thought she had heard wrongly.
Su Ying answered seriously, "It's obvious that the things these two people need from head to toe are not cheap. Madam, the prince only has so much money a month, and his house was confiscated before. Have you returned all the things you took back? You know the situation. It's fine if you don't return all the things, but you also send people to the prince's mansion. Do they think they can live on nothing?"
The Queen was completely dumbfounded. She didn't know whether Su Ying was really dumb or just pretending to be dumb. She, the Princess of Qi, actually refused the man she rewarded for a few taels of silver every month! ?
You might say she was acting crazy, but looking at her expression, she seemed quite serious.
"Su Ying, this is a reward from me to you..."
"Giving it for free, paying for it, that's called a reward. If we take these two back to the palace, we have to pay for them, that's called adding to the burden. The queen doesn't know that the prince is very poor now."
The queen took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll pay for it. It means I feel sorry for you. Take these two people back with you and let them serve the King of Qi well. All the expenses they incur will be paid by me!"
"The Queen, please write a written agreement so that people won't be unable to explain themselves when they take the case back."
The queen laughed out of anger. She was now extremely sure that Su Ying in front of her was still the same idiot she knew. No, even more stupid!
"Write! I'll write for you!"
The Queen wrote a note, and Su Ying had no intention of leaving.
"How about the Queen paying me in advance? If it's not enough, I'll come back and ask her for more."
The Queen directly threw several hundred taels of silver notes to Su Ying, "Take it, these few hundred taels are enough for them to use for several years!"
Su Ying glanced at the two girls who looked humiliated and motioned for them to pick up the banknotes on the ground.
"Oh, yes, there are also indentures. Queen, give me their indentures as well."
The queen took a deep breath to keep herself from losing composure. "They are all daughters of government officials. Where did the indentures come from?"
Su Ying frowned, "Aren't those who serve others slaves? Don't slaves have indentures?"
The two girls were about to cry. They were both chosen by the Queen from official families. Although their backgrounds were not as noble as those of the royal family, they were still proper official daughters. Yet Su Ying actually wanted their indentures!
How humiliating!
The Queen gritted her teeth, "No!"
"No? If they make a mistake, can't I kill them?"
"You still want to kill them?!" The queen could no longer control herself and screamed.
Su Ying said seriously, "If a servant makes a serious mistake, can't he be beaten or killed?"
Both girls knelt down to Su Ying.
"Princess, rest assured. When I arrive at the palace, I will do my best to serve you and the prince, and I will never make any mistakes."
"Yes, princess."
"No, I won't be able to do that without a contract. I'm worried. If I accidentally slap you to death, I'll have to face a lawsuit."
The two girls: "..."
Queen: “…”
"Su Ying, stop talking nonsense to me here. You just don't want it. You are just jealous and intolerant!" The queen gradually lost her mind.
Su Ying was calm and composed. "The Queen said they came to help me, so why can't I tolerate them? It's just that I don't have a sense of security. I just want a little more protection. If the Queen doesn't agree, I won't want them anymore."
"Su Ying, this is a reward from me, you have no right to refuse!" The Queen was so furious that she had to use her status to pressure others in the end.
Su Ying nodded obediently, "Yes, as long as the Queen says that if anything happens to them in the future it has nothing to do with me, I will take them back immediately."
The queen was not stupid. She took a deep breath and calmed herself down again. "What could possibly happen to someone who is fine in the palace? Princess, you are being too suspicious."
"Without the Queen's guarantee, I dare not."
"Su Ying! I think you did it on purpose!"
Su Ying sat down on the chair, looking unmoved.
"The Queen must think so. There is nothing we can do. Without a guarantee, people cannot return to the palace."
Finally, the Queen gritted her teeth and compromised, and wrote a letter of exemption. She just didn't believe that Su Ying would dare to do anything to her people!
Su Ying took the silver note with satisfaction, kept two letters of guarantee, and returned to Prince Qi's Mansion with the two beautiful beauties.
As soon as she arrived outside the palace gate, she saw Xiao Jin dismounting and coming back.
"Where did you go?" Xiao Jin asked, looking at the two beauties behind Su Ying.
