Just as Bai Jiaojiao was thinking, the voice of a maid beside her heard in her ears: "Madam, the slave maid has brought the guest here." ”

“H。”

After Bai Jiaojiao heard this word, the strip of cloth that was blindfolded was untied. She reached out and rubbed the corners of her eyes, blinking, and staring at the lake ahead.

She was blindfolded before, and she couldn't see anything, so she didn't know that there was such a big pond in this Murong Mansion.

There are a lot of lotus pods growing in the pond, and the lotus flowers that are blooming just right are surrounded in the center. The lotus flowers are more fresh and refined, and the lotus canopy is more elegant and dusty.

A hostess who knows how to enjoy life, Mrs. Murong is definitely not an ordinary woman.

Bai Jiaojiao smiled and looked at the woman standing across from her, who was dressed in a light purple dress, and her long black hair was combed into high braids. A butterfly jade hairpin was the only piece of jewelry on the man's head.

The woman's skin was like congealed cream, her face was beautiful, and there was a faint smile in her phoenix eyes. Although he was laughing, he also revealed a sense of alienation.

Bai Jiaojiao saw this woman and thought to herself, this sense of alienation may be someone who will have it after meeting any stranger, right?

The woman in front of her looked at her with a hint of inquiry. Bai Jiaojiao saw it and thought to herself, this person should be Mrs. Murong. So he saluted Mrs. Murong and explained his intention.

"The little woman Bai Jiaojiao has seen Mrs. Murong, and now she will say hello to Mrs. Murong. Thank you, Mrs. Murong......"

Mrs. Murong smiled slightly, took Bai Jiaojiao into the pavilion by the pond, sat at the wooden table, and asked the maid to bring Bai Jiaojiao a bowl of lotus leaf porridge.

After Bai Jiaojiao ate the porridge, the maidservants around Mrs. Murong all retreated with interest.

At this time, Mrs. Murong said softly to Bai Jiaojiao: "You are the daughter of General Bai, the female doctor who detoxified and healed His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince, and saved the life of His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince, Miss Bai?" ”

Bai Jiaojiao smiled embarrassedly and nodded.

She is a female doctor, and she should do it to detoxify and heal the ten princes.

Mrs. Murong only saw Bai Jiaojiao like this, and knew that Miss Bai was shy. He smiled and said, "Don't be embarrassed, White Girl. We are all grateful to you for your ability to heal His Royal Highness the Ten Princes and save His Royal Highness's life. ”

"A little thing, don't take it to heart." Bai Jiaojiao smiled modestly and said.

Mrs. Murong shook her head slightly, "His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince is the descendant of the Ji and Lu families, and his life is precious." You saved his life, how can you say that it's just a trifle? ”

Bai Jiaojiao hurriedly explained:

When Mrs. Murong heard this, she couldn't help but laugh softly, and said, "His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince is a man, and you are a female doctor. It will take a lot of courage for you to save him. I don't need to say this, I can understand it. ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Murong took out a letter, handed it to Bai Jiaojiao with both hands, and said, "Although I haven't seen you before, I also know that what I see today about your face is not your real face. You are doing this so that you can get in and out of the city smoothly. ”

"Yes." Bai Jiaojiao did not have a negative iA.

"If I'm not mistaken, you may have already been to the Ji Mansion and didn't see the Lingyan County Lord before you came to look for me?" Mrs. Murong asked tentatively.

Bai Jiaojiao's eyes flashed a trace of astonishment, she really didn't expect that after she came in, she didn't tell Mrs. Murong some things, but Mrs. Murong guessed. "Madame is right."

Listening to Bai Jiaojiao's words, Mrs. Murong's eyes flashed with confidence, and said, "Then let me guess what the purpose of your visit to Sheng County this time is." ”

"Okay."

Bai Jiaojiao readily agreed.

She came to Shengcheng as someone else, and she had to return the things to others in a while. In this way, it is inconvenient for her to go into the city and stay in the inn.

On Shengcheng's side, she didn't have any relatives or friends. Even Mrs. Murong in front of her came to the suburbs to ask Mrs. Murong for help after listening to what Princess Jingbei said. When you meet for the first time, it's always bad to stay in someone else's house......

Just as Bai Jiaojiao was thinking about the problem, Mrs. Murong's words came from her ears: "You came from all the way from the imperial city, not for yourself, but for the sake of His Royal Highness the Ten Princes, so you came to find the county lord for help." ”

Bai Jiaojiao looked at Mrs. Murong and smiled happily, "Madam is really powerful." I actually guessed that I had been to the Ji Mansion and wanted to ask the county lord Lingyan for help, but I couldn't see her. ”

After saying this, Bai Jiaojiao handed over the talisman and other things she brought to Mrs. Murong in person.

“…… These items belonged to General Xu. I promised Princess Jingbei that after I came to Shengcheng, regardless of whether I had done it or not, I would hand over these items to Madame, and ask Madame to help transfer them to General Xu. ”

I saw that Mrs. Murong stretched out her hand to take the talisman and other things, and Bai Jiaojiao saluted and thanked her.

Madam Murong smiled and said, "White girl, don't be polite. You came to help the Ten Princes, you are helping the people of the Nan Shengji clan, and we should thank you. ”

After that, Mrs. Murong also gave Bai Jiaojiao a salute.

Coincidentally, at this moment, a flying pigeon landed on the wooden table in the pavilion and landed in front of Mrs. Murong's eyes.

Mrs. Murong looked overjoyed, "Xiaoxue, are you back?" ”

As he spoke, he reached out and touched Xiaoxue's white feathers, his eyes full of pity and joy. Mrs. Murong told Bai Jiaojiao softly: "Xiaoxue is one of the carrier pigeons raised by me and my husband, and it has been raised for three or four years, and it is very well-behaved. ”

Bai Jiaojiao was also looking at the carrier pigeon, knowing that the carrier pigeon flew back from the north, she knew that it should have brought someone's letter when it came back this time.

She also wanted to know the news from the Imperial City, and most importantly, she wanted to know the news related to Lu Yan. At this time, when I saw the carrier pigeon, I was anxious to help Mrs. Murong and take off the small tube tied to the pigeon's feet, so as to see if there was a small note in it, and I wanted to take a look.

Mrs. Murong stretched out her hand and rubbed the carrier pigeon for a while, and only after a servant girl came forward with a tray and Mrs. Murong fed the carrier pigeon some food, she took off the small tube tied to the pigeon's feet.

Bai Jiaojiao wanted to know if there was any note in the tube, and she wanted to know what would be written if there was a note in it.

But I knew very well in my heart that this was in Murong Mansion, not in her house, of course, I couldn't stay here and affect Mrs. Murong to read the letters.

Bai Jiaojiao stood up playfully, ready to leave.

But she didn't think about it, as soon as she stood up, Mrs. Murong's question sounded in her ears: "Miss Bai, didn't you come to find someone to help him?" I just got the news from there, don't you want to hear it? ”

"I'm afraid that if I stay, it will make Madame feel inconvenient." Bai Jiaojiao said what was in her heart.

Mrs. Murong said disapprovingly: "If I want to guard against you, I won't let you in at all." ”

Bai Jiaojiao wondered, if this was the case, then why did the maidservants blindfold her with strips of cloth after she walked into the mansion?

Mrs. Murong faintly saw Bai Jiaojiao's thoughts from Bai Jiaojiao's puzzled eyes when she looked at her, and said, "Don't hide it, I let the white girl blindfold me because I took into account that my grandson was meeting guests in the private room. Both of them are men......"

Hearing Mrs. Murong's explanation, Bai Jiaojiao gave Mrs. Murong a "I can understand" look, and continued to sit at the wooden table, waiting for Mrs. Murong to tell her some news.

Mrs. Murong put the small tube she took off and put it in Bai Jiaojiao's hand, and said, "You help me open it and see, maybe you can recognize the handwriting on this note, who wrote it0"

"So, it's not big, is it?"

Bai Jiaojiao felt a little embarrassed, how could she help Mrs. Murong open such an important item? If Mrs. Murong's Lang Jun knew about this, wouldn't she be blamed?

"I believed you, and I wanted you to know some news, so I let you open it and read it." Madam Murong said softly, "You don't have to worry about anything. ”

After listening to Mrs. Murong's words, Bai Jiaojiao was relieved and took out a small note from the tube. When she opened it, she saw the vigorous and powerful handwriting that made her feel familiar.

It is the handwriting of Prime Minister Zhou.

When I lived with Zhou Shiling before, I read Zhou Shiling's books a lot. The handwriting on some of the paper is handwritten by the Prime Minister, so for those handwriting

I was impressed.

"I know the handwriting on the note, the handwriting of Prime Minister Zhou." When Bai Jiaojiao said this, she handed the note to Mrs. Murong with both hands.

The Prime Minister wrote two lines on the note:

[Xiao Shi is inside, she is outside, and she can't see each other. There's nothing I can do. 】

[The sophomore has the heart to marry a concubine, and has asked his uncle to come to the house to propose marriage......]

"Shameless old thief!" Mrs. Murong crumpled the note angrily, and just raised her hand to throw it away, but she suddenly lowered her hands and wept silently.

Seeing this, Bai Jiaojiao persuaded softly: "Mrs. Murong, don't worry, we can think of other ways." ”

The little ten mentioned on the note must refer to the ten princes Lu Yan; The sophomore mentioned on the note must refer to the second prince Lu Yu. As for who the second prince's uncle is, Bai Jiaojiao is not too clear about this matter.

She only knew that Zhou Shiling and Lu Ying were a little related. Lu Yu's mother, Qin Zhaoyi, is the daughter of Zhou Shiling's biological mother Hua Yue'er's aunt, and is a cousin three years younger than Hua Yue'er.

It is also known that Wang Shu, the aunt of Zhou Shiling's husband, is the daughter of the emperor's uncle and the emperor's cousin.

There are marriages between their big families for the sake of profit. When Bai Jiaojiao thought of this, she couldn't help but feel worried about Lu Yan in her heart.

Even if the Lord of Lingyan can enter the Imperial City, he may not be able to help Lu Yan.

People who can help Xiao Yan may not dare to help Lu Yan. You must know that although their powerful ministers are fighting openly and secretly, they are also related to each other. No matter how hard the fight is, it won't really kill anyone.

She also knew that the ruthlessness of their hearts to sit in such a high position was far beyond the reach of ordinary people. It's just that if they help Lu Yan, what benefits can they get from it?

If you can't get any benefits, how can those people who are too shrewd easily help Lu Yan?

Mrs. Murong opened the note in her hand, rolled it up again, put it back into the small tube, and said to Bai Jiaojiao: "Miss Bai, you must be very tired when you come all the way from the north. I'll take you to the guest room, hello, take a bath, rest for a while, and I'll treat you when it's time for dinner. ”

Bai Jiaojiao didn't want to bother Mrs. Murong, she wanted to go to the forest to rest, and rushed back the next day. But considering that the horses also had to rest, they agreed.

"Okay, Madam Murong."

"If you want, you can call me 'Aunt Murong', and if you have the opportunity in the future, you are welcome to come to my house often to play." As Mrs. Murong spoke, she stretched out her hand and pointed to a bamboo forest and said, "The room I prepared for you is in a quiet bamboo forest, very quiet, so it is convenient for you to rest in it." ”

Bai Jiaojiao glanced at Mrs. Murong gratefully and said, "You are really thoughtful, Aunt Murong. ”

With that, he followed Mrs. Murong and walked through the long gallery to a lush bamboo forest.

Bai Jiaojiao walked to several small bamboo houses in the depths of the bamboo forest and stopped.

After Mrs. Murong opened the door of the bamboo house, she followed Mrs. Murong into the hall, the room was filled with a faint fragrance, and the cloth was also very elegant. Bai Jiaojiao said sincerely: "It's very good here, the environment is very good. ”
