I just want to live a good life

Chapter 295 New Work

Su Nuan felt like she had transformed into Xia Qingyan and was talking to Cui Shaoyuan.

"You must not let my sister be with Brother Yunshu."

"But the eldest lady is deeply in love with the prince. Is there any way to stop her?"

"We have to find a way even if we have no other choice. Otherwise, my sister will be implicated. Haven't you always liked my sister? Why don't you take this opportunity to be with her today?"

"Is this okay?"

"What's wrong? Just do it. Go quickly. My sister has gone to the garden now."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Cai Ya has something urgent to discuss with you!"

Su Nuan's dream was interrupted. She opened her eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling of the bed for a while. Everyone knew that Xia Qingyan had framed her sister, but at this moment Su Nuan had a new understanding of this matter.

Xia Qingyan didn't want to break up her sister's marriage because of Mu Yunshu, she had other reasons.

But she was confused as to what the reason was. What did it mean to be implicated? Did Mu Yunshu do something wrong?

"Madam, Cai Ya wants to see you for something urgent. It's about the Third Young Master."

Chun Liu's words interrupted Su Nuan's thoughts, and she realized that something might have happened to Xia Changze.

"Let him in quickly."

A moment later, Chun Liu brought Cai Ya in. Su Nuan was already sitting at the table and took a sip of warm tea, her spirit completely awakened.

"My lady, this is bad. The Third Young Master Xia has been taken to the Dali Temple."

As soon as she saw Su Nuan, Cai Ya said hurriedly.

"Why? Didn't the emperor hand the case over to the Ministry of Justice for investigation? Why did he take the person to the Dali Temple?"

"It's Prince Ankang. I heard that Prince Ankang reported to the emperor that the Ministry of Justice had transferred a large number of personnel to investigate the case of the former prime minister, and no one was there to handle his son's murder case. He suggested that the emperor hand the case over to the Dali Temple for investigation."

Su Nuan frowned immediately after hearing this.

The Ministry of Justice is the prince's territory, and Xia Changze will not suffer any grievances in the Ministry of Justice. However, it is different in the Dali Temple. Although Lu Jingzhi respects the prince on the surface, it is impossible for him to take care of Xia Changze under his command.

What's more, there is King Ankang. If King Ankang sends Xia Changze to the Dali Temple at this time, I don't know if he will find another way to kill him.

Su Nuan thought for a moment, walked to the desk, wrote a letter, and then asked someone to deliver it to Princess Guang'an.

She was under house arrest and couldn't go out, so she could only try to find out Lu Jingzhi's attitude.

If the Dali Temple Minister can treat Xia Changze's case fairly, there will be nothing to worry about. The only thing we are afraid of is that someone will take this opportunity to do something secretly behind the scenes.

Afterwards, Su Nuan sent Cai Ya to keep an eye on the Dali Temple, especially the people of King Ankang.

After Cai Ya took the order and left, Su Nuan leaned back in the chair dejectedly.

It is really not easy to be the prince's concubine. Without the prince like a big tree standing in front to block the wind and rain, she can only be blown by the wind and drenched by the rain.

The Queen's house arrest came at a really bad time, which made her feel passive. If she could go out now, she would like to visit King Ankang in person.

Su Nuan sat in front of the desk and regretted for a long time. Finally, she picked up the pen and started drawing the pattern to suppress the anxiety in her heart.

In the evening, waves of news came back, the first of which was a reply from Princess Guang'an.

In the letter, Su Nuan asked her to help find out what Lord Lu had to say and see if he could give Xia Changze some care.

Princess Guang'an did not explicitly mention in her reply whether she would take care of Xia Changze, but she expressed Lord Lu's attitude: she would never wrongly accuse a good person.

This was telling Su Nuan that Lord Lu would investigate Xia Changze's case impartially. With Lord Lu's attitude, Su Nuan felt at ease.

The next person to come back to report was Falcon. He went to investigate the disappearance of Yu Zhiqiu.

"Madam, Miss Yu and Master Mei are in the other courtyard."

"Your Highness really did it? Why?"

"I don't know, but Your Highness has something to say to the Concubine."

"What?"

"Don't let Miss Yu and Mr. Mei leave the villa before he comes back."

"In that case, have the people in the other courtyard be more careful and don't let anyone find it."

Although Prince Yongping is a low-key prince, the power of the Yongping Palace cannot be underestimated, especially after the prince Mu Yunshu took over the affairs of the palace, the Yongping Palace is not much different from other palaces. Only the old prince and the princess are low-key.

The last person to report to Su Nuan was Manager Ding, followed by Chu Qi who looked reluctant.

"Why are you going back to the Prince's Mansion?"

Chu Qi was holding the tools for making jewelry in his hand, and he couldn't wait to ask as soon as they met.

"You stay here for a few days first, I will arrange for someone to find you a new place to live."

“But I don’t even dare to work here.”

"Don't worry, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won't blame you this time."

"Then I wouldn't dare."

Su Nuan held her forehead with her hand. It was hard for her to imagine that the man in front of her was Ye Yin’s junior fellow apprentice. Even if he only had one tenth of Ye Yin’s abilities, he shouldn’t be so cowardly!

"Just stay here and don't worry too much. I will arrange a suitable place for you to start work as soon as possible."

"The previous place was pretty good, why did you have to change places?"

Chu Qi muttered softly.

"I have a reason for asking you to live in the mansion. I have a batch of jewelry here. The workmanship and materials are very exquisite. You should study it carefully in the next few days. Next, I will ask you to make a batch of jewelry."

Speaking of which, Chu Qi has not produced a decent work since he followed me. The previous longevity lock was pretty good overall, but unfortunately it had a small flaw.

Thinking of this, Su Nuan couldn't help but ask, "Have you finished any new works in the past few days?"

"Of course, if you don't let anyone come to find me today, I will come to find you too."

After saying that, Chu Qi took out a hairpin, a jade bracelet, and a pair of earrings.

Su Nuan blinked. He had created so many things in just three days. He was too productive. Could the quality be guaranteed?

With doubts, she reached out to take these things. At first glance, she felt that they were very familiar, as if she had seen them somewhere.

"How's it going? Not bad."

Chu Qi said proudly.

Su Nuan picked up the hairpin and looked at it carefully. It was a golden phoenix hairpin. The phoenix was carved so lifelike that it seemed as if it was about to spread its wings and fly at the next moment.

This is very similar to the phoenix in the painting of birds paying homage to the phoenix that Lord Yu gave, but also slightly different.

The phoenix in "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" is a whole bird, with every feather visible. This hairpin is much simpler, with a bird's head and a hairpin handle shaped like a phoenix's tail. The expressions of the two phoenixes are extremely similar, and the craftsmanship is a bit simple, but it does not affect the overall beauty of the hairpin at all.

Su Nuan picked up the pair of earrings again. They were a pair of pearl earrings. The round pearls were inlaid in a small silver flower basket with a bow on the flower basket, which looked very chic.

But this design seems to be made by himself.

"What pattern did you use to make these earrings?"

Su Nuan asked suspiciously.

"I can't tell you that. It's a secret. Just tell me whether you like it or not?"
