Grandmother's words made him think about it in the house, vaguely remembering the appearance when he inadvertently buckled Ning Bai's hairband that night, the green silk was scattered, half-covering his face, but he didn't see her appearance clearly, and when the cook moved her out of the carriage, he was so nervous that he turned his face away.

finally riveted enough courage to come to see her again, but she entered the palace.

Su Ziqing covered the curtain, glanced at the restaurant again, and said lightly: "Go home."

After lunch, Xiao Anzi came to Fengxiang Palace to inform Ning Bai that Qingyuan had woken up. After Ning Bai's sleepless efforts for several days, the queen's toxicity was controlled, and it was not impossible for her to leave for half a day.

Ning Bai followed Xiao Anzi to Qingyuan's wing, as soon as he entered the wing, Ning Bai saw his master sitting on the edge of the bed, stepped forward, and carefully covered Qingyuan's knees with the thin quilt next to the bed, "The master has just woken up, and his knees can't withstand the wind." ”

Qing Yuan couldn't help coughing a few times, and said sharply: "Kneel!"

Ning Bai fell to the ground on his knees and knelt in front of Qing Yuan. She knew exactly why she was kneeling.

"As the teacher said, without the order of the teacher, you can't enter the palace, you can't enter the palace!" Qing Yuan looked at Ning Bai with an anxious expression.

"The apprentice failed to obey the master's order and entered the palace without authorization, the apprentice was at fault, and the apprentice accepted the punishment, but let the apprentice stand by and watch the master in danger, the apprentice can't do it!" Ning Bai said loudly.

If the master wants to fight to the death with his life, he must keep her secret, then this secret, don't do it!

Qing Yuan let out a long sigh of remorse, buried his head in mixed feelings, and whispered, "You get up first."

Ning Bai got up when he heard this, and Qing Yuan continued: "Your tough temperament is really like your father."

Ning Bai smiled faintly, leaned over again and straightened out the quilt for Qing Yuan, "If my father is here, I will definitely agree with the apprentice's decision." Then, Ning Bai squatted in front of Qing Yuan, looked up at Qing Yuan, and said, "Master, the apprentice promises you, as long as the queen is well, we will immediately set off back to Yucang Town."

Qing Yuan looked at Ning Bai, as if he saw Mu Chengji who had saved him in danger in the past. Mu Chengji was born handsome, and his wife is also beautiful, their daughter is naturally superior, but Ning Bai's temperament did not inherit her mother's gentleness and generosity, but inherited Mu Chengji's tough and clear temperament.

In this way, Qingyuan had no choice but to recuperate in the palace, waiting for the day when Ning Bai cured the queen's illness.

Ning Bai and Qing Yuan got together for only half an hour, and after Qing Yuan explained the queen's illness to Ning Bai, Ning Bai left first. At this time, when it was time for the guard exchange class, Ning Bai was walking on the way back to Fengxiang Palace, and met a small number of palace maids and chamberlains, when there were no people around, someone suddenly dropped a machete next to her neck with the momentum of covering her ears, and then Ning Bai, who fainted, was unconscious.

At this time, in the Taishi Mansion, Ying Qi's study was kneeling with Shi Yan who had just been freed from the dungeon, the green silk like a waterfall was messy, even a little dirty, his face was pale, his lips were chapped, and the clothes on his body were torn open with several big holes. Everything comes from the blood oozing from the wounds on the body, which becomes dry and hard after soaking into the cloth, and then adds new wounds, and then infiltrates, and then dries and hardens, and so on.

Shi Yan held his scarred body, lowered his head weakly, looked at the clean ground with empty eyes, and waited for Lord Ying.

Ying Qi stepped on the perennial black boots, stepped into the study, and saw Shi Yan kneeling on the ground, so he ordered the attendants outside the room: "Go and fetch a basin of water."

For the master's orders, the attendant did not dare to slack off, and within a moment, a basin of water appeared in Ying Qi's study.

Ying Qi dismissed all the attendants, closed the door, and slowly squatted in front of Shi Yan with a basin of clear water, stretched out his hand to gently brush away the messy hair in front of Shi Yan's forehead, and wiped Shi Yan's forehead, nose bridge, cheeks, and chin with a brocade handkerchief soaked in clean water.

I don't know how many times he repeated such a warm demeanor, and each time, there was no look in his eyes. Shi Yan looked at him without a smile, his expression revealing forbearance, but he didn't show it. This man took possession of her whole heart, and even though she knew it was fake, she was willing to sink into such tenderness.

Every movement of Ying Qi was deeply immersed in her body and her heart. He wiped her hand, and just as she was indulging in it, Ying Qi suddenly opened his mouth and said, "I hope that you will never disobey the will of this seat again."

For a moment, it was as if he had a dream of luxury, and in less than a moment, he was ruthlessly shattered and shattered completely. Shi Yan used all his strength before he said for a long time: "Shi Yan...... Yes, sir. ”

A long time after the guards exchanged shifts, far away in the direction of the other end of Fengxiang Palace, was the dining room that prepared the meals of each palace, and in the small firewood room deep in the backyard of the dining room, Ning Bai was lying sleeping, at this time she was not a handsome young man, but a palace maid who fainted in the firewood room.

Ning Bai woke up from a dream, and in a daze, he reflexively raised his hand to touch his unusually sore neck, during which he felt a little cumbersome when he raised his hand, and when he opened his eyes, her sleeves widened, and her body became a skirt veil, and suddenly remembered that what she was wearing was not the clothes worn by the palace maid, and she glanced around, except for the pile of firewood, there was nothing else. At this time, Ning Bai had only one question in his mind: What happened?

Suddenly, there was a noisy sound outside the room, there was a woman's abuse, and the sound of pots and pans colliding, Ning Bai quietly opened the door and saw a large group of people coming and going, all of them buried themselves in their own work, and even smelled the fragrance of food.

When Ning Bai was about to open the door to find out, someone came out of nowhere and twisted her ears without saying a word, and her ears immediately hurt badly, and she subconsciously reached out to her ears, tugging on that person's hand, and shouted in pain: "Who are you?" Let go of me! ”

The people around heard Ning Bai's shout, but they only stopped and took a look, and then started their work again, they knew that Aunt Fang was an old man in the palace, and her status was naturally higher than them, and she was the most unafraid to be lazy or rebel against her, and because of the lessons of the past, they didn't dare to provoke Aunt Fang.

I only heard the man snort coldly in a high-profile manner, and said sharply: "Okay, you little girl, you don't want to work if you're lazy, look at my aunt, I won't pick your skin!"

As she spoke, Aunt Fang let go of her hand, the pain made Ning Bai rub her ears carefully, and before she could explain it to that aunt, she saw that aunt picked up a whip of moderate thickness from the corner of the wall, raised her hand and was about to hit Ning Bai's body.

Saying that it was too late, Ning Bai raised his hand and grabbed Aunt Fang's wrist, so that the whip did not hit her, and then quickly said: "This aunt, you have recognized the wrong person, I was invited by His Royal Highness to treat the queen, not a palace maid."

Hearing this, Aunt Fang put down the whip in her hand, put her hands on her waist, raised her eyebrows, looked at Ning Bai with disdain, and said: "The Third Highness of the family invited the divine doctor from outside, aunt, I heard that the divine doctor is a handsome young student, how can it be you a lowly palace maid, if you talk nonsense, don't blame your aunt for not giving you good fruits to eat!"

Ning Bai was secretly annoyed in his heart, and his current appearance was afraid that only the master could recognize it.

Suddenly, with a "snap", Aunt Fang slammed the whip on the ground, startling Ning Bai, who was thinking, only to see Aunt Fang shouting viciously at Ning Bai: "Don't go do things yet!"

When Ning Bai heard this, he quickly walked away from the aunt and trotted into the dining room, wanting to slip away while the aunt was away, but he wanted to stare at her with eyes that were like eagle eyes, and he never moved away for a moment, staring straight at his back and feeling cold.

Ning Bai reluctantly followed the busy palace maids on the side to make a move, and moved his hands, glancing at the aunt's movements from time to time, so as to slip away when she was relaxed.

The palace maids were silently doing the work in hand, but only one of the younger palace maids quietly approached Ning Bai and touched Ning Bai's arm lightly with her elbow. Ning Bai turned her head to look, only to see a little palace maid who was half a head shorter than her approaching her, and said in a low voice: "Sister provoked Aunt Fang, but you have to be careful."

Ning Bai nodded affirmatively, the pain in Fang Cai's ears had not completely disappeared.

Ning Bai thought for a while and asked, "This is the dining room in the palace?"

The little palace maid nodded sincerely and said, "My name is Liangyue, and I am the palace maid who specializes in working in this dining room."

The eagerly whispering behavior of the two was taken into the eyes of Aunt Fang, who was not far away, and scolded loudly as always: "You two, what is there to say!" If you can't do today's work, don't want to see the sun tomorrow! ”

After such a roar, Ning Bai was cautious and did things without a trace, seeing that everyone was very busy, and the sweat on his forehead had already flowed many times, Ning Bai couldn't help but whisper: "Are you all so busy on weekdays?"

Liangyue looked around, and when Aunt Fang's figure was gone, she whispered with peace of mind: "A few days ago, Your Majesty made an order that the dining room should send meals to the one in the Zhengqing Palace for half a month, and we, the palace maids, naturally dare not slack off in the slightest." Liangyue sighed softly, "In the past, the Zhengqing Hall made its own food in the hall, and for some reason, it was suddenly sent to the dining room. ”

Zhengqing Temple? Xiao Anzi said that the current Second Highness lives in the Zhengqing Palace, and Xiao Anzi also specially told her not to take the wrong path, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

At sunset, there are only a few residual rays of afterglow, and the dark night of late autumn comes much earlier than the height of summer. Ning Bai thought that she would just stay in the dining room and do things, and she would be able to go back at night, who would have thought that Aunt Fang would not let her go, but nodded her head and asked her to send dinner to the Zhengqing Palace, and she also affected Liangyue.

Together with her, plus Liangyue, there were six people in total, carrying food boxes and following behind. Aunt Fang walked in front, urging vigorously, and the angry scolding hovered in Ning Bai's ears, lingering.

Everyone walked into the corridor in front of the Zhengqing Hall one by one, the free dust seemed to be still, without Aunt Fang's urging and scolding, the surroundings were a little creepy, and even a few palace maids' feet were trembling, presumably they were very scared in their hearts.

Ning Bai and Liangyue walked at the back, and the two palace maids in the front row were afraid in their hearts, so they retracted their feet and walked forward in small steps. Aunt Fang, who was walking in front, didn't dare to raise her voice, for fear of alarming the people in the palace and being punished, so she had to pinch the two palace maids fiercely and scolded in a low voice.

It was getting dark, and I couldn't see anything far away. As he walked, he came to the gate of the temple, which was closed and unguarded. Aunt Fang stepped forward, slapped the knocker on the door, and shouted, "Is Guard Xu here?" I am Aunt Fang in the dining room, and I have come to bring dinner to His Royal Highness. ”

Aunt Fang repeated this for a long time, and no one came to open the door. Ning Bai whispered to himself: "Isn't there no one in this hall?"

It happened that Liangyue heard it, buried her head, and whispered: "Sister doesn't know, the last time Liangyue came to deliver dinner, it took an hour for someone to open the door, and it was less than a moment to knock on the door today, and it is estimated that someone will come in about an hour."

"Then this meal is cold, if you blame it, isn't it still the people in the dining room who suffer?" Ning Bai asked.

Liangyue let out a long breath, "Then don't worry, Your Royal Highness will let people reheat the cold food, and you won't blame the people in the dining room." ”

Ning Bai nodded thoughtfully, thinking, this mysterious Second Highness was not a master who bullied the palace people. At this time, the door of the hall was suddenly opened, and Aunt Fang smiled happily, presumably because she felt happy that she didn't have to knock on the door again.

A tall man walked out of the hall, burly, unsmiling, holding the saber at his waist in his left hand, and said respectfully: "Aunt Fang has been waiting for a long time, let's go in."
