When he woke up the next day, there was already a note on Bai Qingting's bedside.

When I opened it, it read: "The aftermath has been properly dealt with, if you really want to thank you again, think twice before acting." ”

She secretly cut her voice, quite dissatisfied with Jun Ziheng nagging her like a child.

Last night I warned her to be careful in everything, and today she thinks twice before acting, she really thinks she is a child.

After burning the note, Bai Qingting began to work day after day.

On this day, the emperor's anger seemed to have subsided a little, although he still had a calm face, but the atmosphere was not so depressing.

Liu Dehai finally found an opportunity, pulled her to a secluded place and said to her: "Qi Yushi quickly whipped people to send a secret letter, and the secret letter was handed to His Majesty in the second half of the night before yesterday. The letter indicated that there was a drought in Haining Province, but it was an exaggeration, and there was something else going on in it. Yesterday morning, His Majesty lost his temper with this incident, and His Majesty was really angry. ”

Bai Qingting said: "Are you saying that the officials of Haining Mansion colluded to secretly cross Chen Cang on the plank road?" ”

Liu Dehai nodded, "Although it is not really, it is almost the same." ”

"Your Majesty, is this a crime of dereliction of duty in controlling the flood capital?"

"The Dragoon Guards have been passed down from generation to generation, and they have always been passed from father to son, whether it is the royal family or the Dragoon Guards, all of whom have been selected from generation to generation, and have never been broken. If Hong Dutong was just a dereliction of duty, it would not have made His Majesty so angry! Liu Dehai has been worried about the emperor's dragon body for the past two days, and his eyebrows have been twisted.

Anything else?

Liu Dehai sighed and continued: "Your Majesty has always been the most taboo about partisan disputes, and the eight dragoon guards are even more untouchable, they are directly under Your Majesty's imperial decree, and they only listen to Your Majesty's holy decrees. In the Celestial Empire, I have not heard of a dragoon guard who has joined any party and been involved in the whirlpool of the struggle for imperial power. ”

Hearing this, Bai Qingting somewhat understood.

"In the coming days, I am afraid that the situation will change a little." Liu Dehai instructed, "The so-called dog can jump off the wall when he is in a hurry, you be careful, don't let the same person calculate it a second time." ”

Bai Qingting completely understood this time.

If the emperor really wants to come to a big reckoning, isn't she the first stepping stone they want to turn around?

She was calculated by them to watch the water pavilion, even if she didn't want to stand up, the emperor would be the first to find her out, and she would be the most powerful evidence to prove the immorality of the imperial concubine and the third prince.

After thinking about it, Bai Qingting couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.

The eyes and ears of the emperor actually betrayed the emperor and threw themselves under the wings of the imperial concubine and the three princes.

In such a major event of rebellion, the emperor actually only ordered Si Jingming to take Hong Dingyan back to Kyoto and put him in the prison of the Criminal Department to await trial, instead of directly entering the prison of Dali Temple to wait for sentencing.

After all, the second son of the Duke of Hongguo is not the likes of Emperor Li Sen, and after all, the emperor still remembers the merits of the Duke of Hongguo for the imperial family for generations, even if he is angry, the emperor will not kill as insignificant as killing the three clans of the Li family.

When she was about to leave Qianlong Palace, she asked Liu Dehai: "What is this for?" ”

Liu Dehai only replied to her with two words: "Collect money." ”

Collecting money, they actually collected money in Haiding Mansion.

Wouldn't they have to accumulate wealth for the sake of the throne?

Seek talents, close customers, recruit soldiers, build weapons, and form gangs.

Which of these things doesn't require money?

Which one is not a waste of money?

They became more and more impatient, and their hands stretched out longer and longer.

"Sister, where are you going?" As soon as Lu Siji returned from his errand, he saw Bai Qingting standing outside the Qianlong Palace walking alone from a distance, and his expression seemed to be thinking about something, and he was in a trance.

Bai Qingting came back to his senses, "I'll go to the Imperial Garden to pick some spiritual herbs, so that I can make tea for Your Majesty to drink to calm your mind." ”

"My errand is just done, can I go to the Imperial Garden with my sister?" Lu Siji suggested.

Bai Qingting shook his head, "No, I haven't waited in front of the palace, Your Majesty has been unstable these days, you fill my place and wait for me." Remember, be careful. ”

Lu Siji naturally listened to Bai Qingting's instructions, and the two of them went on an errand after a few more words.

It was the afternoon feeding time, the sun that gradually turned west hung lazily in the sky, the warm sun shone on the body, and the whole person was also in a warm mood.

Bai Qingting walked on the path leading to the south of the Imperial Garden, and the corners of his mouth were curved from the moment he entered the Imperial Garden.

In addition to a variety of chrysanthemums in the south of the Imperial Garden, there are many precious exotic flowers and plants.

Spirit vanilla, which is called lavender in modern times.

In her memory, there was a large area in the southern corner of the Imperial Garden, like a sea of purple, full of dreamy atmosphere.

The original owner used to yearn for it like that, and he often stayed for a long time.

So long that she had forgotten about it.

Forgetting that this sea of dreams is the same as her, trapped in the palace walls of the high and glorious red walls and blue tiles, which makes her look up and make her despair.

Cross the bridge again and you'll be there.

Bai Qingting stepped on the lotus appreciation bridge and walked step by step.

In the silence all around, even the faint sound of her embroidered shoes could be heard.

There was no wind, and no one was there.

It was a quiet and beautiful afternoon.

"Help...... Help ......"

Suddenly, there was a porphyry sound of falling water, followed by a cry for help, Bai Qingting stopped his steps and looked for prestige.

It seems to have come from under the Lotus Bridge.

She turned around and stepped back on the lotus bridge and looked under the bridge, but there was no one in sight.

There was a faint gurgling sound and the sound of struggling slapping water, and she carefully listened to the direction, and finally saw the top of a head that was about to enter the water in the lotus leaves not far below the bridge.

Fang Cai's voice sounded immature, and it should be a young child.

Just as Bai Qingting flew off the Lotus Bridge, there was a voice in her heart telling her that she should calmly weigh and analyze calmly, instead of taking this risk desperately.

Now is a very moment, this is the palace again, the dangerous earthly Hades Palace, as long as you are not careful, you will step into the ghost gate.

But at this time, the memories that belonged to her modern Bai Qingting flowed into her mind like the icy lake that quickly surrounded her, leaving no gaps.

When the eldest sister rescued her who accidentally fell into the river, the words of the eldest sister still sounded in her ears: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, in a few days, the eldest sister will teach you to swim, so that our Qingting will be able to swim when we grow up...... Our Qingting is so well-behaved and good, and in the future, we will save the children who fell into the water like the big sister saved our Qingting......"

She still remembers the way she nodded vigorously in her big sister.

She will never forget that scene.

promise, and never forget.

The wind gradually rose, blowing over the surface of the lake under the bridge, which was gradually flattening but rippling.

There was a man standing on the bridge, he looked coldly and arrogantly at the lake where the white pavilion and the children disappeared under the bridge, and he didn't say a word.

"Your Highness?"

"Snipe with all your might!"

"The Nine Emperor Princes ......"

"Look at his own creation."
