Chapter 10: Late Night Exploration

"Ugh." Chengying sighed, and reached out several times to take it, but saw that there were only two steamed buns on the smooth plate, which was inevitably a little pitiful.

"Chengying, take it, the steamed bun pad is also hungry." Bai Jingyin looked sideways, she didn't care much about eating, after all, she had eaten a bunch of delicacies from the mountains and seas a few days ago, and she was feeling tired, so it didn't hurt to be light.

It's just that she cares more about what she said.

"Hey, you just said that Concubine Yu had a sudden illness, what's going on?"

Chengying took the plate, and his eyes followed Bai Jingyin to look at him.

Yu Xi was slightly stunned, and hurriedly replied: "Concubine Jing, the slave and maid don't know much about this matter, but I heard that Concubine Yu had a sudden illness last night, and originally thought that it was an ordinary monthly letter, but I didn't expect that until this morning, the monthly letter was still more than one, and Your Majesty heard about it, so he ordered someone to investigate it thoroughly." ”

Bai Jingyin listened, but suddenly remembered an old woman he saw when he came back last night, the old woman looked panicked, and she sneakily appeared from Yu Guifei's palace, and this kind of thing happened on the second day.

I'm afraid it's not that simple.

"Miss?" Seeing that Bai Jingyin didn't speak, Chengying held two steamed buns and couldn't help but call.

Bai Jingyin came back to his senses and smiled slightly: "Thank you." ”

She turned around and said to Chengying: "Chengying, there is still some rice food sent by the Queen Mother a few days ago, you go and boil it, and you can stay and eat it together." ”

"Thank you, Niang!" She was very moved, but she also knew that Concubine Jing was just kind, not a sincere invitation, she was also interested, and hesitated for a moment and said: "It's just that the old slave still has something to play back to the Queen Mother, so I won't disturb Concubine Jing's meal." ”

"Well, let's go." Bai Jingyin nodded slightly, she was just polite, and she didn't plan to stay.

Hello had already retreated, and Chengying stood in place with two steamed buns, looking at Bai Jingyin with some embarrassment.

"Miss, why don't you go out and have a look, is there anything else to eat?"

Bai Jingyin's mood is no longer on the steamed buns, and she is now a little concerned about the old woman who appeared last night.

She glanced at the sky, raised her hand, waved it gently, and said, "Chengying, I'm not hungry, you go eat first." ”

"But Miss...... "Where is the reason that the slave and maid are hungry for dinner, Chengying shook his head.

Bai Jingyin said: "I'm really not hungry, Chengying doesn't have to serve me tonight, just rest early after eating." ”

As soon as these words came out, Chengying guessed a little, and she hurriedly said, "Miss, do you want to ...... again?"

"Don't ask any more questions." Bai Jingyin felt a little irritable, she was alone in her previous life, and she didn't have so many words to explain what she wanted to do.

She turned her head sideways, saw Chengying's aggrieved look, and her heart was slightly moved.

She softened her voice a little and said slowly: "Chengying, don't worry, your young lady is not so unmeasured." ”

After that, she also put her hand on Chengying's head, in this cold palace, only Chengying is dependent on her, it doesn't matter if no one cares about her in her previous life, but in this life, she will not accept Chengying.

"Then, miss, you must be careful."

For Bai Jingyin's sudden touch, Chengying's heart warmed, and she made up her mind to follow her young lady to the death.

"Hmm." Bai Jingyin nodded lightly, and saw that Chengying had already entered the kitchen.

She looked at the faint sunset, and the next thing she had to do was to wait for the sky to get dark, the old woman must have some secret, rather than let her stay here quietly, it was better to take the initiative.

She wanted to see what happened in Concubine Yu's mansion.

The sky is getting late, the moonlight is hazy, and the cold wind is caressing, and tonight is destined to be a little unpeaceful.

Bai Jingyin watched the sky at night and realized that it might rain tonight, and after a few thoughts, she still decided to put on a night suit.

Since it's going to investigate secretly, it's naturally not suitable to wear that guard uniform.

Estimating that there was still a while before the rain, Bai Jingyin got dressed, quietly opened the door, and jumped down from the wall next to him.

The black nightcoat mingled with the hazy sky, and she faded into the dark corner.

With the road he had memorized before, Bai Jingyin came to Concubine Yu's palace very smoothly.

Late at night, there was no sound in the hall, and there were only a few guards at the door, most of whom were napping.

Bai Jingyin jumped over the guards and entered the side hall, which was also very calm.

So quiet? Isn't there anyone here tonight?

Bai Jingyin was puzzled, but saw a familiar face suddenly appear at the small door of the side hall.

The figure was sneaky, a pair of eyes looked left and right, looked at it for a long time, and seemed to be sure that there was no one, so he raised his feet and walked inside.

Bai Jingyin, who was lying on the beams of the room, mingled with the night, but no one noticed her, but she could clearly see that the figure was the old woman she had seen the day before.

Bai Jingyin stared at her carefully, and saw her timidly walking to the flower bed under the side hall, she groped up and down in her arms, and after a long time, took out a pack of white tissues.

The old woman opened the tissue, covered her nose, and carefully sprinkled it under the flowers.

When everything was done, a strange smile suddenly appeared on the old woman's face, and then she checked left and right to make sure that no one saw it, and then left.

All this was seen by Bai Jingyin.

She guessed right!

This matter is really related to this old woman, but I don't know what the bag of medicine powder she took out was sprinkled on the flowers?

Bai Jingyin didn't know about this.

She looked left and right, and the silence around her was terrible, and she quietly jumped down from the beam of the house, and tiptoed to the place where the old woman had just sprinkled the powder.

She was about to bend down to check, when she suddenly remembered that the old woman was covering her nose with her hands, and she was so shocked that she was busy covering it with her hands.

With the other hand, he pulled open half of the flower, and a thin white layer of medicinal powder shone on the soil below.

She naturally doesn't understand pharmacology, but even if she guesses with her feet, she can guess that this thing has nothing to do with Yu Guifei's unstable monthly faith.

It seems that to determine what these things are, you have to let Chengying come with you.

Thinking of this, Bai Jingyin withdrew her hand, and while the night was still dark, she planned to call Chengying tonight to find out.

However, before she could turn around, the next second, a sharp blade appeared in front of her.

"Who are you, report your name quickly!"

Hearing this, Bai Jingyin breathed a long sigh of relief, and saw that no one rushed out around, so it could be seen that only this guard had found her.

Bai Jingyin turned his head slowly, and sure enough, standing behind him was Zhang Huaiyi, the commander of the forbidden army he had just met the day before.

"You...... You are! ”

Seeing those familiar eyes, Zhang Huaiyi was shocked and cried bitterly, why is this aunt again?!

He made a noise, and a guard suddenly poured out around him.

Zhang Huaiyi's eyes were quick, he took off his uniform and threw it on Bai Jingyin.

The leading guard saw that it was Commander Zhang, who was disheveled, and there was a handsome young man in uniform standing beside him, his cheeks were slightly red, and he quickly knelt down and said, "Commander Zhang, what happened here?" ”
