The eldest grandson Lingfang rubbed her sister for a while, this and that, tossing until it was already dusk, Zhiying looked at the sinking sun outside the window, and finally couldn't help asking: "Lingfang, what are you going to do when you bring me into the palace?" ”

"Didn't the car say that? I want to talk to my sister more. The eldest grandson, Lingfang, took a sunspot from the box and put it on the chessboard.

Zhiying suddenly felt bored for a while, and didn't want to play with her anymore, so he threw the chess pieces in his hand back to the chess basket, showing an angry expression: "Do you think I will believe what you say?" Lingfang, our sisters grew up together, you won't hide anything from me since you were a child, and you can't hide it from me, do you don't treat me as a sister anymore, or do you completely treat me as a fool? ”

Her tone was quite serious, and the eldest grandson Lingfang grabbed her fingers in the chess basket a few times, and finally put it down, sighed, and said: "Sister, you will always be my sister, even if the man we marry is an incompatible mortal enemy, it can't change the fact that we are compatriots." ”

Zhiying's expression was still not good-looking, so the eldest grandson Lingfang reached out to pull her, held her hand in her hand, and said to her in a good voice: "If one day I am taken to Yanzhou, everyone is eyeing her, sister, will you not save me, or fall into the well and help them to rectify me?" ”

“…… No. Zhiying replied helplessly.

The eldest grandson Lingfang smiled comfortably: "So I'm the same, even if everyone in this palace can't wait to eat you, I will protect you, sister, I'm your sister, if you don't believe me, who else can you trust?" ”

My sister's words are indeed in her heart, if one day Cui Jie is defeated and dies, Bailizan and they ask for the execution of Lingfang, the queen, Zhiying will never allow it, no matter how hostile the camp is, it is also her own sister, how can she bear to watch her die.

Can...... This alone is still not reassuring.

"But you still haven't told me what the hell you're going to do?"

Now the eldest grandson Lingfang couldn't laugh, and her eyes were a little sad when she looked at her, Zhiying knew that she still guessed correctly, her sister really had an ulterior purpose, although she might not want her own life, but it was hard to say whether she would want Cui Yi's life.

"I'm going to ask the Queen Mother for peace, but you have repeatedly obstructed it, because you don't want the Queen Mother to know that I'm back?" Seeing that she didn't speak, Zhiying said herself, "The Queen Mother knows that I'm back, what will happen?" I don't think it should be to kill me, if I go to see her, I will worry about my life, you can't go around in circles and drag me, is it that after I meet the Queen Mother, your plan will not be implemented as scheduled? What the hell are you going to do with me, bait? ”

Zhiying observed her sister's expression while speaking, the eldest grandson Lingfang is still young, and her ability to hide her face still needs to be honed, after Zhiying finished speaking, she almost guessed the general direction, and the father and sister wanted to do what they did, and the Empress Dowager Yiming would definitely not agree, so she couldn't meet them.

As the queen mother, the Rong family will naturally seek benefits for her son and mother's family, and the eldest grandson's family still seems to be on Cui Jie's side, so there is no interest in her son, on the contrary, the eldest grandson's family is sparing no effort to help her son, so in other words, what the father and sister want to do is not good for the Rong family?

The eldest grandson, Lingfang, took her hand and whispered, "Sister...... Let's have dinner first. ”

Zhiying's mind was still turning, and she couldn't help but hum, the eldest grandson Lingfang breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately asked people to set up the food, pulled her to sit together, and kept giving her vegetables diligently, Zhiying thought while eating, and after countless possibilities in her mind, she was overturned one by one, thinking that she was dizzy in the end, and there was still no guess that made her feel that the possibility was high.

After eating, the eldest grandson Lingfang said again: "My sister must be very tired with a tired face, why don't we go to the soup pool together for a while?" ”

This way south, Zhiying really hasn't taken a good bath, as soon as she thinks of the soup pool of Yaohua Palace, she is a little moved, and she feels that it is okay, so she agreed: "I'm really tired, so let's go and take a dip." ”

As soon as she agreed, the eldest grandson Lingfang almost turned around and instructed the palace maids to prepare, and the sense of foreboding in Zhiying's heart intensified again, could this conspiracy be related to bathing? You can't poison the bath, right? Or barge in with a man after stripping naked? No, this is the queen's bedroom, how can there be a man, if there is really bad luck, it is not only himself, but this kind of thing should be unlikely, otherwise all the subordinates of Yaohua Palace will be beheaded, and the price is too great.

The soup pool was soon ready, and the eldest grandson Lingfang took her sister's arm and walked through the corridor, saying, "I asked people to light the incense for contemplation and calm, and after soaking for a while, they will have a good night's sleep, and all the fatigue will be gone when they wake up tomorrow." ”

Zhiying responded absentmindedly, and after entering the palace, the water vapor came to her face, with a faint fragrance of white sandalwood, she deliberately looked left and right, and she was probably more familiar with the soup pool of Yaohua Palace than her sister, so she knew that there were no sneaky people hiding at a glance, and she was a lot more relieved.

The palace maids came forward to serve them and changed their bathrobes, and then the eldest grandson Lingfang waved his hand: "You all go down, the palace will summon you if there is something." ”

Zhiying subconsciously went to see the golden bell by the soup pool, in order to facilitate the queen to summon the next person, there is a small wooden shelf hanging the golden bell in the four corners of the soup pool of Yaohua Palace, if there is anything, you just need to reach out and shake it, the sound is crisp and bright, and the palace maid outside the door can hear it immediately.

"Sister?" The eldest grandson, Lingfang, saw her staring at the golden bell, and her face showed a puzzled look.

Holding Ying pushed the boat and pointed to the ground: "What is that bell for?" ”

The eldest grandson Lingfang explained to her, and shook it again to show her, and the palace maid came in and asked what she was told, and the eldest grandson Lingfang asked her to bring some pastries and wine.

"It's so convenient, I don't know who came up with it." Zhiying slid down the pool after her, the water at the right temperature went all the way from the soles of her feet all the way to her shoulders, and the pores of her whole body opened in an instant, so comfortable that you wanted to sleep.

The capital in March is not warm, but the soup pool room is very comfortable, the sisters leaned on the edge of the pool, the eldest grandson Lingfang seemed to be deliberately mentioning the things of childhood, Zhiying only listened, and did not dare to be careless for a moment, and the wine and pastries were all eaten by herself, and there was no problem, and she could basically guess whether she was poisoned.

The eldest grandson Lingfang is not a very talkative character, and she chatted with her for a day, and now she was soaked in the hot spring, and her fatigue came up, and she gradually spoke less, and Zhiying was also a little drowsy, but she didn't dare to sleep.

The two sisters chatted for a day, but the eldest grandson Lingfang didn't mention the child who died young, and asked a lot about Xiao Cui Xian, and her eyes were full of envy. Zhiying instinctively felt that there must be something wrong behind her deliberate avoidance, but she couldn't think of what it would be, soaked in warm water, her mind leaped like a wild horse, and suddenly remembered an incident that had dangled in her mind a long time ago.

"By the way, when I came back yesterday, I saw a guy on the street." Zhiying pretended to mention it casually.

This was the first time she took the initiative to say something this day, and the eldest grandson Lingfang was really interested, and hurriedly asked, "Oh?" Who? ”

Zhiying looked at her with a smile and said, "It's my father's protégé, the young man surnamed Zhong and the character book." ”

The eldest grandson Lingfang's face changed drastically, and his speech was incoherent: "Zhong, Zhong...... He ......"

"I was really surprised to see him enter the carved building with several people of the same age, my father has always been strict with his protégés, how dare he go to that kind of place?" From her face, she knew that there was a play, so she continued to talk nonsense.

The eldest grandson Lingfang sat in the soup pool, her lips were white and trembling, she didn't know whether she was shocked or angry, and she didn't know whether to lament her sister's lack of anger at this time, or whether to laugh at Cui Jie being cuckolded, and stopped talking: "You...... Ling Fang? What happened to you? ”

Fortunately, at this time, as soon as the door of the palace opened, the palace maid Yayi walked in quickly, with a somewhat anxious expression: "Niangniang, someone from the Queen Mother's side came and said that she had something to say to you." ”

Zhiying's first reaction was - did the Queen Mother know that Ling Fang secretly brought herself into the palace? My heart couldn't help but rise.

"Let him wait, I'll go out." The eldest grandson Lingfang was quite calm, she got up and rang the bell, and the palace maids rushed in to serve her to wipe her body and change her clothes.

Zhiying was hesitating whether to go out with him, or simply hide here, the people sent by the Queen Mother would not break into the soup pool to arrest people.

The eldest grandson, Lingfang, changed her clothes and combed her bun, and said while asking the palace maid to tie her belt: "Sister, just rest here, I'll be back in a while." Zhiying nodded and sat back down.

As soon as the eldest grandson Lingfang left, the soup pool room was suddenly so quiet that the needle could be heard, Zhiying leaned on the edge of the pool and felt a sense of drowsiness, his consciousness was blurry, and he couldn't even feel the passage of time accurately, he always felt that his sister had been gone for a while, but when he touched the fruit plate on the shore, the ice in it had not completely melted.

Why are you so sleepy, is it because you are too tired, or is it too comfortable in the hot springs? Zhiying rubbed her temples and decided to go up and sober up, otherwise it wouldn't be fun to fall asleep in the water for a while.

There is a Nanmu Luohan bed by the pool, which is covered with reed mats from Jiangzhou, the texture is soft and cool, Zhiying took off the soaked bathrobe on her body, dried her body with a white cloth towel, and then changed into a single coat and lay down.

I thought that I would be a little sober next to cold things, but after lying down, I felt even more sleepy, and the soup pool room was filled with a strong fragrance of white sandalwood, which could no longer make people feel comfortable, but a little dizzy. Zhiying propped up her soft body and got out of bed, snuffed out the sandalwood on the table, and took a piece of ice from the fruit bowl and put it on her forehead.

Most of the doors and windows were closed, and the fragrance could not be dispersed, and with the help of ice, Zhiying was finally not so sleepy, so he went to open the windows again to ventilate.

It didn't matter, when she yawned and walked to the window, and was about to open the window, she kicked something with a thud under her feet, and when she looked down, it was a small beast-shaped incense burner. She kicked the censer to the ground, and the ashes and unburned spices spilled out, staining the tips of her shoes.

Zhiying's heart suddenly became vigilant, this is not white sandalwood, why should there be another incense when white sandalwood is lit in the soup pool? What is it? She immediately crouched down, picked up the unburned green spice, and sniffed it to her nose, but there was no smell, but her head was dizzy.

There's something wrong with this spice! With a shaking hand, she threw the spice cube out.

Ling Fang ordered spices that can make people feel sleepy and weak in the soup pool, and used white sandalwood to cover up, what did she want to do?

Frightened by this, Zhiying woke up for the most part, and hurriedly swept the incense ashes into the stove, soaked them in water with the incense pieces, and opened the windows again. There was no one guarding outside the window, mostly because they were relieved of the effect of spices, and they were not afraid that she would escape.

Holding Ying calmed down, took a few more pieces of ice to refresh himself, and quickly thought about countermeasures in his heart.

Escape? She is familiar with the palace, but being familiar with it and being able to escape are two different things, and the one-foot high palace wall is what you say you can turn over? What's more, the palace maid of Yaohua Palace also took away her clothes, she can't go out and walk around in a snow-white single dress, which is no different from running naked.

Just as she was thinking about what her sister was thinking about and trying to think of a way to deal with it, the door between the soup pools behind the screen suddenly "creaked" and was pushed open.

The person who came came made a questioning tone "um", and he was in a cold sweat at the moment of holding - how could there be a man?
