Chapter XVII

"Miss don't worry, I'm just ordered to come to the house to deliver something to Miss. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info said, and the white-clothed attendant handed the list and a letter in his hand to Li Jin.

After that, he returned to the place where he had just stood.

Li Jin was a little puzzled, took the letter in his hand, and watched the white-clothed attendant stand still. Then he began to open the envelope, and thought to himself, 'Is it the day of the receipt of the letter?' Fortunately, I had the foresight to wake up and eat more, otherwise I would have been dazzled at this time, and where would I have the strength to deal with them......

The letterhead and envelope were not as rough as they received in the morning, the letterhead was written on ribbed single rice paper, and when the envelope was opened, a faint smell of sandalwood mixed with a hint of medicinal fragrance lingered on the tip of Li Jin's nose. The beautiful font on the two pages of letterhead also formed two extremes with the strong strength in the morning, and it was really not a person, Li Jin thought silently unconsciously.

The words and sentences in his heart are also very euphemistic, to the effect that his subordinates are not doing well, apologize for causing Li Jin to fall ill, and offer all kinds of items as compensation. At the end of the text, Concubine Jing's greetings to herself were attached, and she already hoped that she would be able to enter the palace after she recovered from her illness.

Li Jin looked up at the attendant at the head of the head, his eyes had just touched, the man had already reached the ground, and only after a salute did he straighten up and said: "Please forgive Miss for yesterday's sin, Gongzi has ordered, but with Miss punishment, I will receive it from the house after receiving the punishment." ”

Li Jin shook his head and smiled: "There was nothing wrong with what you did yesterday, and you only left with your clothes after asking for my consent." My illness has nothing to do with you. ”

After that, he asked puzzledly: "How does your son-in-law know that I am sick?" and ,......" Li Jin didn't know how to ask about the relationship between his son-in-law and Concubine Jing for a while, and intuitively felt that this was not what he should ask. But there are too many unclear things at this time, and Li Jin no longer knows how to let himself be in such a predicament. The line between what you should know and what you can't know is becoming more and more blurred.

The white-clothed attendant really deserved to be the personal person of these nobles in the palace, and just by looking at Li Jin's expression, he fully understood what Li Jin wanted to ask, but he didn't say anything.

Without a trace of hesitation, he told Li Jin: "Miss doesn't need to think about it. After you left, Childe was afraid that you would be troubled again, so he sent someone else to protect you in secret. And after the banquet, when you get back to the carriage......"

The white-clothed attendant paused for a moment, as if considering his words, before he continued: "The guards saw a suspicious figure approaching your carriage, and because they were worried about your safety, they investigated and learned about your coma. ”

"But the identity of the son is not good, and he came forward to inquire about the young lady directly, so he found Concubine Jing through a relationship and was able to contact you. After getting the letter from Concubine Jing, I asked me to bring calming, heat and cold medicine and other items to the house, also to confirm whether the young lady's body is fine. ”

Li Jin nodded clearly, but he was a little angry in his heart, no matter how he looked at his behavior of tracking himself, it didn't look like protection, but as if he was listening to his whereabouts and purpose.

And being observed like this in secret, no one will be in a good mood, thinking of Li Hui and his actions hiding behind the stone lamp and the corner gate, Li Jin felt as if something unsightly was made public, and immediately a trace of annoyance and anger permeated his chest.

"Oh, then I should be grateful to Gongzi Huaixi for his kindness, but I don't know if someone is secretly protecting me, why is someone secretly guiding me when I leave the trail?" Li Jin said with some sadness.

"Miss misunderstood, it was only after I turned back that Childe sent someone else to you. When he came back to report you, you were seated when he found you. I guess I wasn't there for you at the time. The white-clothed attendant seemed to have been reprimanded by his son-in-law, and it seemed very unnatural to mention last night's incident.

Li Jin didn't dwell too much on this problem, thinking that the general naturally had a way to solve the problem of his own whereabouts.

At this time, Li Jin wanted to know more about other things, "I have a reluctant request, I wonder if I can ask you for help?"

"Tell me what the matter is, please. The attendant looked calm, as if he had expected it.

"I want to know more about last night, and if I ask in a moment, if you can't let me know, please feel free to tell me. ”

The white-clothed attendant nodded and said, "Okay, if I can say it, I will definitely tell you in detail." ”

"What is that small courtyard I stumbled into by mistake last night?"

"The side courtyard of the imperial study is specially used as a resting place for waiting officials, and because of its remote location, it is rarely used now. ”

"Before I arrived last night, were there any suspicious people in and out of the courtyard?"

"No one but you enter the courtyard, and the path you take is the only way in and out of the backyard. ”

"Was there a time last night that made you feel different from normal?" Li Jin was a little nervous when she asked this question.

First, it is because this is what she is most anxious to know now, and the other party is very likely not to answer. Moreover, Li Jin feels that this is the key to solving all mysteries.

Thinking about it in hindsight, it was obvious that someone led her into the direction of the harem last night, and no one stopped her along the way, not to mention, Li Jin didn't even find out about a palace maid, how abnormal it is to think about it now, why didn't she stop earlier?

If it weren't for the beauty of the snow, I don't know how deep I would have been introduced.

And to be so thorough, you must do what to prepare in advance, so the road you passed through last night will definitely have something different from the usual, Li Jin is so sure.

And now the heaven-sent opportunity allows Li Jin to ask so closely about the specific situation at the scene of the incident last night.

While waiting for an answer, Li Jin felt that the air around her felt a sense of stagnant heaviness, and she unconsciously clenched her palms in her sleeves.

The white-clothed attendant seemed to smile, if Li Jin hadn't secretly stared at his face, that fleeting slight movement would definitely be ignored by Li Jin.

After that, the white-clothed attendant replied, "Childe has been drinking in this side courtyard every night lately, and he arrived earlier than usual last night, so it is indeed a place to look for a little differently. ”

Li Jin waited nervously for the following, but the white-clothed attendant didn't seem to intend to say any more, but took out a piece of moire white jade ornament in his arms and handed it to Li Jin. The jade is delicate, moist and shiny, and the rope tassel on the jade looks like a jade tied around the waist.

Li Jin looked at the person opposite in confusion and didn't take the things in his hand.

"Miss, don't worry, this is not a valuable thing, just an ordinary ornament that my son-in-law carries with him, and he has the right to be a token. If you want to know the details of last night, take this jade pendant and go to Yujing Zhai three days later. However, you will need to return the letter to me. The attendant held the jade pendant in one hand and spread it out in front of Li Jin with the other.

Li Jin looked at the calm eyes of the person opposite, shook his head and smiled, took the jade pendant, and handed the letter back.

"If I hadn't asked what I just said, you wouldn't have taken out this jade pendant. And that letter will disappear after that, right?" Li Jin said slowly while observing the expressions of the person opposite.

"Yes, you guessed it. What Li Jin didn't expect was that the attendant had a calm expression and admitted it very generously.

Really, how can it be! What is this, temptation?!'

It's just that Li Jin, who is still ignorant of the situation, can't refuse any opportunity to get any useful information. At this time, the situation can only be allowed to continue to develop.

"You're done, aren't you? After Li Jin finished speaking, he took the jade pendant into his arms.

"Yes, please take care of yourself, Miss. The white-clothed attendant bowed very respectfully and left the flower hall where the guests were entertained.

After Xiangxue asked the family to send the man away, when she turned back to the flower hall, she saw Li Jin leaning on the pear blossom wood Taishi chair above.

"Miss, is it fever again?!" Xiangxue anxiously took three steps and two steps to Li Jin's side, and reached out to test Li Jin's body temperature.

"Where am I so weak. Li Jin smiled and opened Xiangxue's hand, and then asked, "What time is it, my mother is awake?"

"It's the beginning of the day, miss. Madame was still asleep. ”

"Okay, then let's go back first, I'll take a nap first, and I'll go see my mother at the end of the day. If my mother wakes up before me, I'll have someone tell you right away. Li Jin instructed Xiangxue, and the two of them walked back to Li Jin's own show building quickly.

was already sick, but after a battle of wits and courage at this moment, Li Jin only felt that his whole body was sore and unbearable, and he couldn't find any strength at all. However, I have to comfort my mother for a while, so I must quickly replenish my strength.

After returning to the room, Li Jin almost fell asleep at the end.

Just before falling asleep, Li Jin instructed Xiangxue, who was tucking the corners of his quilt, in a daze: "Go and send the snow lotus sent by that person to the small kitchen, and soak it in hot rice wine ......."

With a sudden order, Li Jin suddenly remembered the record in a certain medical book. Snow Lotus - this rare herb in the world, is a holy product for healing cold syndrome, the effect of warming the meridian and dissipating the cold is wonderful, but it is difficult to find one or two in the world.

And the person who claimed to be Huaixi was really generous, and he actually gave it away, and Li Jin secretly grinded his teeth. It's useless to put such a good medicine, since he is willing to give it, he naturally has to make the best use of it, and directly soak it in warm rice wine to supplement his parents' body.

It seems that Li Jin is sleeping in this way, and his dissatisfaction with Huaixi testing himself in his heart is not sleeping.

"Miss, Miss...... Wake up, it's almost the end of the hour, you get up and drink the medicine first......" Li Jin felt that he heard Xiangxue's voice coming from a far away, and he couldn't open his eyelids for a while.

Trying his best to support himself, Li Jin immediately felt that the world was spinning. Fortunately, Xiangxue reacted quickly, otherwise Li Jin would have fallen under the bed at this time.

"Miss!" The loud voice exploded in Li Jin's ears, just in time to wake up Li Jin's sluggish head.

"Shh~ Be quiet, I have a headache...... "Pressing his head with one hand, Li Jin helped Xiangxue to sit firmly.

"Is it the end of the hour?" Li Jin said as he reached out and took the medicine bowl handed by Xiangxue, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Well, Miss should you not sleep for a while, Madame has not woken up yet. Xiangxue looked at Li Jin worriedly.

"It's okay, I can't get up if I sleep too much. Li Jin was completely awake at this time, and felt that he had more strength than before he fell asleep.

After turning over and getting out of bed, he quickly cleaned himself up under Xiangxue's service, and put more rouge on his face, which made it seem that the person in the mirror was in a lot of spirits, and Li Jin was satisfied with it.

"Let's go to my mother. As he forced himself, Li Jin also felt that he was much better.

In order not to worry her mother, Li Jin wore an indigo coat this time, wrapped herself tightly, and the two walked quickly to the courtyard of Li's father and Li's mother.
