"Uh..." Nan Xing hesitated for a moment, recalling Su Minglang's irritable expression last night. Her heart trembled and she waved her hands hurriedly, "No, no, Sister Ye, just go. Anyway, it's not a big deal."

Xiao Ye nodded without comment, "Well, then why don't you wait until the queen has finished her breakfast?"

"Okay, okay!" Nanxing nodded hurriedly in agreement, turned around and wanted to escape from this place of trouble.

"Nanxing." A voice called from inside the house. Su Minglang, wearing a white inner garment, opened the door and stared at Nanxing who was about to leave with a bad look on his face. "Come in, Ye Zi, go tell the kitchen to prepare breakfast, and have dinner with me later."

After saying that, he turned around and went in without waiting for the two to react.

Xiao Ye was already familiar with Su Minglang's temper. As soon as she saw her expression, she knew that her master was in a bad mood again. She glanced at Nan Xing with an apologetic look and turned to go to the kitchen.

Nan Xing stood there in a daze, not knowing whether to leave or go in, until she heard Su Minglang's impatient voice from inside the house. She suddenly came to her senses and ran into the house.

"What are you standing there for? Why don't you come and help me change my clothes?"

Su Minglang glared at the person who was standing there stupidly as soon as she entered the room, and threw the clothes she was about to change at her.

"How is it, is the person back?"

Nan Xing reached out to help her put on her coat, and replied in a low voice: "According to your instructions, she was kept in the servant's room. She should still be sleeping soundly without knowing anything."

"Well," Su Minglang nodded, "I have nothing to do today, so I'll go meet this little mouse who has been hiding beside me for a few days."

"Yes!" Nanxing responded and went to comb her hair.

Su Minglang looked at the crooked bun in the bronze mirror, his face darkened, and he pressed his forehead with a headache, "Go, call Xiaoye, go quickly!"

So when Xiao Ye entered the room, he saw Su Minglang sitting in front of the bronze mirror with messy hair and a dark face, and the spiral ink on his eyebrows was crooked.

"Pfft!" Xiao Ye couldn't help laughing. She looked up and saw Su Minglang's unfriendly eyes. She tried hard to suppress the corners of her mouth and pushed away Nan Xing who was still eager to try. "Let me do it."

Nanxing looked at Xiaoye with a look of disappointment as she quickly took care of everything. She reached out for the box containing the rouge and powder with a thieving heart.

"Pa!" Su Minglang rudely slapped her hand away, "You are not allowed to touch these things again! Do you hear me?"

"Oh, I understand, master." Nan Xing curled his lips and responded reluctantly.

"By the way, Xiaoye, didn't the Queen ask you to go to her place yesterday to help her make some flower leaves? Just go ahead, I have other people around to take care of me."

"But the Queen's place is not as complicated as Linglong Palace. The rules are a bit complicated, so you just have to bear with it."

"How could that be? From what I've seen, the Queen is also a gentle person, so I don't think it will be difficult for her to get along with me."

Su Minglang nodded. She didn't have much memory about the Empress. She only knew that she was a poor person who had always been in poor health and died young.

"Anyway, you should be careful. If you feel something is wrong, come back and tell me. Of course, if you don't want to go to the palace, I will refuse the queen for you."

"No need, Master." Xiao Ye was open-minded, not panicking at all. "Don't worry, I will do it well."

After hearing her say this, Su Minglang didn't mention it again. Xiao Ye had been with her for many years, and she knew her own abilities.

Sure enough, after breakfast, someone from the Queen's Palace came to invite and send Ye Zi away. Su Minglang followed Nanxing to the side hall. At this time, Jasmine was still sleeping soundly.

"She's really careless. It seems that Concubine Li didn't tell her anything important." Su Minglang shook his head helplessly as he looked at the person sleeping on the bed, "Nanxing, wake her up."

"Yes," Nan Xing walked up to her and gently pushed her, "Jasmine, Sister Jasmine, wake up, wake up!"

"Hmm?" Jasmine waved her hands irritably, mumbling in a daze, "Stop making trouble, let me sleep a little longer."

"Jasmine, Jasmine! Get up!" Nanxing pushed harder, but the person on the bed refused to open his eyes.

"Wow!" A pot of cold tea was poured over her head, and Jasmine was instantly awakened from her dream. Just as she was about to curse, she saw a woman in gorgeous clothes holding an empty teapot in her hand in front of her.

"You're sick!" Jasmine was so angry that she didn't care who was in front of her and started to curse, "Do you want to die? You disturbed my sleep. Be careful or I'll have someone drag you out and beat you with a stick!"

"Who do you want to hit with the stick?" Su Minglang asked coldly.

Hearing the familiar voice, Jasmine gradually calmed down. When she saw who it was, the blush on her face caused by deep sleep instantly faded away, leaving only a pale face.

“Mother, mother, mother!” Jasmine didn’t care about anything else. She quickly got out of bed and threw herself on the ground. “Your servant, I didn’t know it was you. Mother, please spare me, please spare me!”

"Ha!" Su Minglang said coldly, "Nanxing, slap your face!"

Nan Xing received the order and walked up to her and slapped her without saying a word, "Why don't you thank the queen for the reward!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I thank Your Majesty for your reward!" Jasmine took a heavy slap from Nanxing, and she still had to bow her head to apologize. The hatred in her eyes could no longer be hidden.

Su Minglang ignored her apology, stepped over her and walked straight to a chair in the room and sat down. He then looked at the shivering person on the ground with interest, "Are you awake?"

Jasmine was doused with cold water. Su Minglang walked by, bringing with him a breeze that made her shiver. "Your servant, I am awake, awake."

Su Minglang raised his eyebrows without comment, raised his eyes and asked, "It's duty time now, why are you hiding here and sleeping so soundly?"

"But what bad things did you do last night that made you sleep poorly?"

Su Minglang's question was very explicit, and the sweat on Jasmine's forehead instantly flowed down, "Your servant, your servant did not sleep well last night, your servant, your servant..."

Jasmine racked her brains to think of an excuse, and when she saw Nanxing winking at her, her heart instantly settled down, "Reporting to the queen, I really didn't sleep well last night. I was just chatting with others and forgot the time."

"Oh?" Su Minglang smiled slightly, "So you were chatting with someone last night? Who were you chatting with?"

Hearing her question, Jasmine instantly breathed a sigh of relief, raised her head and pointed directly at Nanxing who was standing behind Su Minglang, "It's her, Nanxing. I also borrowed Nanxing's room to rest."

"I know I was wrong, Madam. I shouldn't have been late for work. Please forgive me. I will definitely finish today's work on time.

"But..." Nan Xing, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke. She raised her hand and pointed at Jasmine, "My lady, I didn't see Miss Jasmine last night! Please understand!"
