But Xu Jingqi did not take any action. He slowly moved his gaze from Wen Ning to Deng Wu, as if he wanted to choose another person to spy on the situation.

"This must be Eunuch Deng, right? He follows His Royal Highness the Crown Prince closely, but today he doesn't lead the way?" Xu Jingqi pointed his finger at Deng Wu who was standing aside.

When Wen Ning saw him like this, she knew that bringing up the Queen Mother would indeed be useful...but Deng Wu was in some trouble.

Deng Wu was not panicked either. He rubbed his head innocently and said with a wry smile, "In reply to Eunuch Xu, you don't know that the Queen and the Crown Prince have a deep mother-son relationship. When the Crown Prince comes to see the Queen, he is always alone and never brings a servant with him. I really don't know the way very well and only know one direction. So I gave the Crown Princess the wrong way..."

Deng Wu said this and immediately began to slap himself hard, "It's all my fault, I will die, I will die..."

Wen Ning was shocked and immediately stopped Deng Wu's hand. "How can this happen? Blame it on you."

After saying this, Wen Ning took a step forward and protected Deng Wu behind him.

"Eunuch Xu, as your master, I can't find the way today, so you should punish me." Wen Ning's voice was soft and she looked at Xu Jingqi with a smile. She was not very tall and looked thin. She stood in front of Deng Wu at this moment, but gave people a sense of security for no reason.

Deng Wu felt as if a warm breeze blew through his heart. He suddenly remembered that when he was bullied in the palace and was about to die, there was also such a person who stood in front of him and said coldly to others, "If you don't get out, you will die."

Of course, he was also scared half to death by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at that time, but in comparison, he still preferred the gentle and lovely master in front of him.

"Besides, it's true that we took the wrong road, but it's not a big deal. This place is probably not a forbidden area. Why should you take it so seriously, Eunuch Xu? After I go back, I will discipline Deng Wu well, so please rest assured, Eunuch Xu." Wen Ning spoke confidently as usual.

Eunuch Xu narrowed his eyes and looked at her, but he could not find any fault with her. Logically speaking, if she really heard or saw something, an ordinary person would have been guilty and scared. However, her eyes were clear and natural, and no other emotion could be seen.

He has seen countless people, so he can still see these things.

But Wen Ning's background is not small either. Before, Bigler asked her to marry him, but she was able to escape from such a dangerous situation. This is enough to prove that she is not as weak as she looks.

...Wait, it was probably Xiao Yunci who took action in the palace at that time.

Eunuch Xu weighed the pros and cons carefully, remained silent for a while, and suddenly smiled in a flattering manner as usual, bent his body slightly, and returned to his usual appearance.

"Your Highness, the place you want to go is far away in the sky, but it is also right in front of you." He pointed to the palace beside him and said with a smile, "This is the bedroom where the Queen is staying. Go around this road and you will reach the main entrance."

"It's actually like that." Wen Ning was shocked, then looked at Deng Wu, "I didn't expect you knew the way, but you just went the wrong direction."

Deng Wu scratched his head embarrassedly and chuckled.

"I'm so sorry for wasting your time." Wen Ning smiled and nodded to him and said goodbye, "Thank you, Eunuch Xu!"

"You're welcome." Eunuch Xu watched Wen Ning walk away and simply bowed. When he raised his eyes, he looked at the relaxed backs of the master and servant. His eyes were heavy and his emotion could not be seen.
