Her Majesty Was Pregnant Before Entering the Palace

Jiang Ning subconsciously took half a step back and looked towards Gucheng.

Gucheng was expressionless.

Obviously he didn't know the lady-in-waiting.

However, as long as he is by his side, safety issues can be guaranteed.

Jiang Ning calmed down and asked, "Who are you?"

"Slave, Rui'er." The maid replied respectfully.

"Why did you call me Miss just now?" Jiang Ning asked again.

"Because..." Rui'er raised her head and looked around, her eyes swept across Gucheng, her eyes were a bit sharp, and then she replied, "The servant girl was originally a servant of the Jiang family."

This surprised Jiang Ning: "Are you from the Jiang family? Why did you come to the palace?"

"Slaves are the same as him." Rui'er pointed to Gucheng.

Gucheng remained expressionless.

Jiang Ning glanced at him and asked, "Then you know each other?"

"Miss Hui, most of us don't know each other." Rui'er replied, "This servant was poor from a young age, and was sold to a kiln by his family. It was the general who rescued this servant and brought him up."

Jiang Ning did not expect that Jiang Mubai not only adopted boys, but also adopted girls.

However, he is a great general who has made many enemies inside and outside, so it is understandable to cultivate some capable people for himself.

But he actually sent the adopted girl into the palace. This motive cannot be said to be pure.

No need to ask, Jiang Ning probably guessed something.

The emperor has Jinyiwei, and maybe some other forces, who will monitor and monitor the princes and ministers to prevent them from having unruly thoughts.

On the contrary, the courtiers are not fools, and they can also secretly place their own people in the palace, in order to listen to news and do other things, which is more convenient.

As far as Jiang Ning knew, not only Jiang Mubai, but her father Jiang Ruobai also had his own eyes and ears in the palace.

They have all been in the court for decades, who is not an old fox anymore.

Since he was talking about his own person, Jiang Ning was determined, and said with a smile, "Rui'er, you should get up and talk first."

"Yes, Miss Seven."

Ruier stood up.

Under the moonlight, Jiang Ning could now see clearly that Rui'er had a chubby little round face with delicate features, even if she stood still and didn't smile, she still looked pleasing.

It's no wonder Jiang Mubai sent her to the palace.

Jiang Ning asked Gucheng: "Is there anyone else around here?"

Before Gucheng could speak, Rui'er took the initiative to say: "Miss, don't worry, no one will hear us for the time being. Some of the concierges here have people, but it's so late, some of them are sleeping, some are drunk and unconscious."

"That's good."

"Miss, it's cold outside, why don't you talk in my room?" Rui'er suggested.

"In your room?"

"The servant girl was originally a maidservant of Jinxiu Palace."

Jiang Ning said: "No wonder you look familiar. However, I used to come here often, and I didn't see you many times."

Rui'er said: "The slaves are responsible for taking care of the flowers and plants. It is rare for the masters to come to see them. It is normal for the miss to see the slaves with strange eyes."

"So that's it." Jiang Ning smiled, "So, you are very familiar with Denghua?"

Rui'er shook her head: "Denghua is a first-class court lady of Jinxiu Palace. She entered the palace many years earlier than the slave maid. She has been serving the imperial concubine personally. She looks down on low-level maids like slave maids."

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "I think you are much more likable than that lantern flower."

Rui'er pursed her lips and smiled, revealing a pear dimple, quite touching.

Jiang Ning asked again: "Do you know where Deng Hua lived before she died?"

"I know." Rui'er nodded, "Miss came here just to find Denghua's place to live? In fact, the slaves have already checked many times, but they didn't find anything."
