Chapter 16 The Visitor

When Xiangxue heard that Li Jin wanted to eat, she immediately got up happily and prepared to get food. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info She said as she walked: "Madame ordered the small kitchen early in the morning, and now the ginger porridge should still be warm on the stove." And told me to wake up after the young lady. Be sure to drink two or three bowls. Does the young lady still want to eat some side dishes, and the lady tells me not to eat too greasy ......"

Now Li Jin doesn't actually want to eat anything, there seems to be something in her throat, but she also understands that she must force herself to recover now. After shaking her hand to indicate that she didn't need it, Xiangxue added another sentence before turning to the screen and preparing to leave the inner room, before opening the door and leaving.

"Miss, Mrs. stayed with Miss until late at night last night, and I couldn't support it until I asked the master to persuade me to go back......"

The door was gently closed from the outside, and Li Jin looked at the still dark sky outside the window, feeling a faint pain in his heart. I'm really too ignorant. It's okay to be willful and reckless, but now she still makes her parents so worried, thinking of the big trouble she may get into, Li Jin can't help but feel a feeling of suffocation that makes it difficult to breathe.

This big trouble provoked this time seems to involve many people, things, but I am in a fog about everything, and I don't know what to do at all. There is no clue and no way to get out, don't affect your family, Li Jin prayed deeply in her heart.

Li Jin looked out the window in a daze, perhaps because his body was very weak after the fever, and he felt that the whole person was shaky after sitting for a while.

After sitting for a while, he remembered the letter in his hand, and after cheering himself up, Li Jin tore open the letter paper sealed with wax.

Ms. Li said:

The last general passed the message to Miss Yu. If you want to know more, you will meet in the wine country in five days. Burn immediately after reading, remember, remember.

Looking at the thin piece of paper in her hand, Li Jin didn't know what to say, she didn't understand why a person she had never met bothered so much about herself. Although he was implicated in the lobby, everything was hidden, and the initiator must be difficult to understand, so he couldn't apologize to himself.

Then why did he take risks several times in the palace to save himself from fire and water? And according to the letter, this person should have dealt with the two people who tried to intercept Li Jin halfway and frame her halfway.

It's not clear what he's done, but it must have been easy.

Li Jin knew in his heart that Concubine Jing had helped him solve the key evidence of sneaking in and out of the inner courtyard of the palace, and Li Hui, the general of the Zhenguo Kingdom, had opened the way for himself several times in the palace to help him escape. If it weren't for these two, I'm afraid that Li Jin would have been imprisoned before he left the palace.

Let's not talk about Concubine Jing first, Li Jin can be regarded as her goddaughter, and Concubine Jing will naturally be dragged down if she misbehaves, but it doesn't make sense for the general to help. Li Jin has often been in and out of Master Li's study since he was a child, so he also knows very well which officials he has close contacts with. And among them, there are no military figures at all except for the military department, so what chance did he rely on to get the help of this general?

After a while, Li Jin loosened his brows and smiled involuntarily: "It's useless to break your head now." What are you doing with all this energy?"

After looking at the letter in his hand, he smiled helplessly: "Even if I don't know now, I can't help it, and let's go and meet this general of Zhenguo for a while." ”

Xiangxue returned to Li Jin's bedroom, holding a food box wrapped in a cotton bag.

"Miss, I asked the small kitchen to get a few refreshing side dishes, even if you don't have an appetite, you can be appetizing. Saying that, Xiangxue quickly arranged everything with her hands and feet.

"Xiangxue, bring the brazier to the bed in a while, it's warmer. Li Jin put the sour radish in her mouth and said, "Little girl, I was frightened yesterday." When I came back, didn't my father and mother blame you?" Li Jin temporarily put down his thoughts at this time, ate something more, and finally regained some vitality.

"Miss, it's not your ......" Xiang Xue brought the brazier close to Li Jin's bedside, and remembered the situation when she came back last night, and her whole little face wrinkled.

Li Jin casually threw the letter on the coals with the wordless cover, and watched them curl and disappear in an instant before turning his head and looking at Xiangxue and joking: "Well, what, tell me quickly." ”

Although Xiangxue pouted angrily and turned her head, she could feel that Li Jin was still very happy after recovering her spirits. After a while, he couldn't hold back anymore, turned his eyes back to look at Li Jin with a smile and said, "It's not that you told me to take a nap for a while, and wake you up when I get home." But when the adults want to go home, they will send a little servant to say, please go and go back with the adults in a carriage. You were still asleep at that time, how dare I admit it. So I reasoned that you were tired and taking a nap, so I finally sent him away. But when you returned to the house, although you were not as drowsy as you were at the beginning, you still couldn't wake up, and you started to ......"

Li Jin looked at Xiangxue with a smile and said first: "Well, my mother must have thought that I had a cold in the car, so I had a fever, right?"

Xiangxue didn't speak, only looked at Li Jin aggrievedly.

Li Jin secretly despised himself, and he did everything according to his instructions, and then he was scolded and wronged. I'm still here smiling. can see Xiangxue, who has always been a little adult, and at this time she looks aggrieved, waiting for Li Jin to comfort her.

Li Jin is still very unkind and thinks it's funny.

"Well, Lord Xiangxue for your hard work, the villain must be grateful. Li Jin put down the white porcelain bowl in his hand beside the bed, and deliberately made a small gesture to salute Xiangxue.

This action really made Xiangxue laugh: "You can settle down, just thank me." This porridge is only effective when drunk hot, so drink it quickly. ”

"Then how can it be done, saying thank you naturally can't be a sentence with blank teeth. Well, I think about it, last time you said that Yujingzhai's new Baihua Cake is almost becoming a household name in Beijing. I'll take you to eat freshly baked food when I'm well, okay?"

"My good young lady, why are you thinking about the outside when your illness has just improved?Let's recuperate with peace of mind first......" Before Xiangxue could continue to count Li Jin, there was a knock on the door outside, and both of them were stunned, who would it be so early?

"You told my mother that I woke up?" Li Jin felt that Xiangxue had always known her mind and would never disturb her mother's rest.

"I told Sister Chunlan that Miss was in good spirits and had an appetite after waking up, and told her to wait for Mrs. to wake up and tell Mrs. Well, Sister Chunlan has always been steady, why bother Mrs. to rest for no reason?"

Both of them were confused, and Xiangxue said as she got up to see who was knocking on the door.

"Qiu Ju, why are you here? Is the lady awake, or does the master have any orders?" Xiangxue let the person outside the door into the house and talked to the person.

Qiu Ju is the second-class maid in Mrs. Li's room, who is responsible for passing things, or passing words.

"Where is it. Madame was so tired last night that she went back to sleep, and the adults went to the court in less than four watches. The lady didn't wake up when the adults left. ”

"What about you?" At this time, the two had bypassed the screen and came to Li Jin's bed.

After Qiu Ju hurriedly saluted Li Jin, she immediately explained her purpose.

"Tell Miss, someone has come to visit the house. But when the adult went out, he instructed that nothing should disturb the lady's rest. If it was usual, we would have refused directly as instructed. But the person who came was Concubine Jing, and we didn't dare to call the shots. I don't know what to do, Sister Chunlan said that Miss woke up, so I had no choice but to ask Miss to decide. ”

Li Jin nodded clearly, and then asked with a puzzled look: "Did someone ask about something, it's not yet the fifth watch, right?

Qiu Ju also said with an unknown expression: "The person who came to report the news is Xiao Wuzi, this person has always been a fool. I didn't ask what was going on, so I came to report back. Now I only know that it is the attendant in Concubine Jing's palace, and she still carries things. People were already waiting in the flower hall. ”

When Li Jin heard that Concubine Jing was coming, he subconsciously thought that what happened last night was something extraneous again. At this time, I was patient and didn't want to be seen by others, but in fact, I was already anxious in my heart. At the moment, I don't know where the strength came from, while turning over and getting out of bed, I said to Xiangxue: "Since I came to visit from time to time, I think there must be something special, go and prepare my clothes, don't let people wait for a long time." ”

He turned back to Qiu Ju and said, "There is me in front, let her have a good rest from my mother." By the way, let the small kitchen prepare some ginger porridge to warm up after the mother gets up. I don't need to talk about the people who came before, I will go to my mother after I take care of it in a while. After explaining everything, Li Jin sent Qiu Ju back.

Maybe it was something in his heart, and after the neat preparation stopped at this time, Li Jin rushed to the front hall almost non-stop.

Xiangxue asked worriedly: "Why is Miss so anxious, it's so early at this time, it's nothing to let him wait for a while." You've just woken up, and I don't know if the heat just now has subsided, will it be ......repeated in a while?"

Li Jin didn't listen to the slightest Xiangxue's voice at this time, and all he was thinking about was the snow last night, Jinpa, and the footsteps of people back and forth.

For Li Jin, in a blink of an eye, the threshold appeared in front of her eyes.

It's just that no matter how restless he is, Li Jin still knows that he can't easily leak things. Therefore, when he raised his eyes, Li Jin had already put on a smile that made people feel like a spring breeze.

"It's so early, I'm bothering you to ...... all the way" Halfway through the words, Li Jin's smile froze on his face for a moment, the person in front of him was the attendant who sent him away from the remote courtyard last night, and today he is still the same white clothes as last night.

Watching him turn around and salute himself, Li Jin had the illusion of returning to the small room last night.

After settling down, Li Jin regained his previous calmness and instructed Xiangxue: "Xiangxue goes outside, and idle people are not allowed to come in." ”

Although Li Jin felt that he was frozen for a moment, in Xiangxue's opinion, Li Jin's actions did not hesitate from beginning to end, and walked into the hall like a cloud.

Just when Li Jin came to sit down, Xiangxue happened to cover the door of the flower hall from the outside.

"You may be seated. Li Jin said calmly, but in his heart, he quickly analyzed the current situation.

The family came to report that Concubine Jing had come to visit and brought something.

But he knew very well that the person in front of him was the attendant of the white-clothed man who called himself Huaixi, and he was a personal loyal servant.

How could such a person be someone else's attendant, but it is certain that this person must have come to his house with the seal letter from Concubine Jing's palace. Otherwise, even if the people in his own house are no longer useful, they will not believe that a person with empty words is from Concubine Jing's palace.

In other words, this person, or Huaixi, was approved by Concubine Jing and later visited him? So for what, and how did he convince Concubine Jing?

Instead of speculating out on thin air, it is better to find out directly.

"Excuse me, why are you here at the house?" Li Jin asked directly and straight to the point.

"Miss Li still knows me. The white-clothed attendant also answered calmly.
