The Regent's Tender Darling

4:45 PM.

"What?"

A not-so-heavy exclamation came from the bedroom. Lin Jiaojiao was sitting on the bed at this time. She had taken a bite of the red sugar bean paste crisp and had no intention of moving it.

She stared at Xuemei in front of her and asked, "Who told you that?"

Xuemei was also stunned. She didn't expect that the queen would have such a big reaction after hearing about the beggars.

After thinking for a while, she said perfunctorily, "I heard it from a friend."

Lin Jiaojiao frowned, stared at Xuemei and asked, "What else does your friend know?"

Seeing that the queen was very serious about this matter, Xuemei had to tell the truth, "I asked, but he didn't say."

After the voice fell, there was silence in the room for a long time. Just when Xuemei began to feel uncomfortable, Lin Jiaojiao said, "I'll give you 100 taels of silver. You can use it to deal with your friend and ask your friend to help me ask who is behind these beggars."

"Ah?" Xuemei was surprised, but then nodded in agreement.

Seeing Xuemei looking a little dazed, Lin Jiaojiao took a deep breath and urged: "Don't dawdle, go quickly."

"Yes." Xuemei quickly dressed, and then took out a hundred taels of silver notes from the cabinet. Of course, she couldn't go out with a hundred taels of silver directly.

After leaving the palace, Xuemei was a little nervous. It was already this time. Could she still find Xiao Niu on the street?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel annoyed. Every time she wanted to ask where Xiao Niu lived, but she always forgot to ask.

After sighing, she regrouped and thought, forget it, why think so much? Let's go to the Imperial Street to look for it first. If we can't find it, we can go tomorrow.

She almost trotted all the way to the Imperial Street. She didn't see anyone at the entrance of the Imperial Street. She hesitated for a while and decided to look for it.

Curfew will be in another hour. She is not afraid of being caught. No one dares to touch her clothes. Besides, she has the waist badge of the Regent Palace. If she is caught, she will be sent back.

She searched the whole market but didn't see Xiao Niuqiu. However, just when she was about to go back, she suddenly saw two guards on the street of Yujie holding a man and heading towards Jingzhao Prefecture!

That back figure and that cotton jacket, isn't it Xiao Niuqiu?

So she quickly chased after him and stopped him.

"Why did you catch him?" Xuemei was still a little protective. After all, she had been friends with Xiao Niuqiu for so many years. She was still a little anxious when she saw Xiao Niuqiu being caught.

The guards saw that it was a maid from the Regent's Mansion, and they didn't dare to be too careless for a while. Moreover, her dress was not like that of an ordinary maid.

So they patiently explained: "This person often cheats in the market, and today we finally caught him."

Cheating? Xuemei frowned and glanced at Xiao Niuqiu. As expected, Xiao Niuqiu didn't dare to look Xuemei in the eye.

Although this made Xuemei's impression of Xiao Niuqi plummet, she remembered what her mother had told her, so she took out the badge and said, "My master specifically asked for him, why don't you let him go quickly."

"This..." The guard hesitated for a moment, and after carefully looking at the badge, the two looked at each other.

This badge is not fake, it must be the regent who wants this person, but he did not let go, saying, "Then we will send it to the regent's mansion. This kid is very cunning and ran away as soon as he was released."

Xuemei's face sank. Why is there so much nonsense? She came out with the shadow guards this time. How can Xiao Niuqi run faster than the shadow guards?

So she said, "Don't bother, you can do your own things, he dare not run away."

After that, she glared at Xiao Niuqi fiercely.

Today's update is late, sorry babies, Nan Nan has been a little confused recently, but Nan Nan has regained his strength, and the future will be better. I love you forever~
