Chapter 10: Grace

The guards who went into the water to save her were all sent by the queen to protect her secretly, which is why they took her out of the lotus pond at such a fast speed.

Baili Yan went from being a fairy on top to a thin chicken in the soup all of a sudden, and everyone present did not dare to come out, and lowered their heads one after another, for fear that she would implicate her anger on herself.

"You! Take your clothes off! ”

Bai Liyan pointed to one of the palace maids who was trembling and scolded.

The palace maid was stunned for a moment, and the other palace maids hurriedly stepped forward and ripped off the palace maid's clothes, and only the clothes and pants were left.

No one paid attention to the shrunken palace maids and went to wait for Baili Yan to change clothes.

After changing her clothes, Bai Liyan pushed away the people who were covering her, looked at the few guards who saved her just now, and smiled beautifully, "Thank you just now, you did a good job." When I go back to this palace, I will tell my mother that I will reward you well. ”

Several guards were flattered and busied, "This is what subordinates should do, just let Her Royal Highness the princess be safe." ”

Bai Liyan nodded with satisfaction, looked away and raised her chin coldly, "Go back to the palace." ”

Bailijie thought that Bailijie would cry and make a fuss, but she didn't expect her to be so calm, as if nothing had happened.

The eyes that looked at her for a moment were even more frightened, and he quietly took a few steps behind and moved away from her.

She knows Bailiyan's character best, and a bloody storm is about to blow in the palace.

After returning to the palace, Bailijie lied that she was not feeling well and wanted to go back to her palace, but Bailijie only skimmed her lightly for a moment, nodded and let her go.

When she returned to her palace, Baili Jie breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had been amnestied.

The next day, she went to look for Bailiyan as usual, and saw that Bailiyan was sitting on a stone bench in the imperial garden with a manicure, and several guards who were usually with her disappeared, and all of them had a new look.

Bailijie only felt a chill all over her body, and sure enough, she ...... That's right.

She knew that this was just the beginning.

"The Begging Festival should be soon, right?" Bai Liyan admired her nails and asked lazily.

Bai Lijie thought about it and quickly nodded, "Yes." There are less than twenty days left. ”

Baili Yan said slowly: "I am going to recruit the horse on the day of begging." ”

Bai Lijie unconsciously raised her voice, "Recruit a horse? How do you recruit it? ”

Bai Liyan raised her eyebrows, and instead of answering her question, she asked rhetorically, "Why don't you sit down?" She gestured to the stone bench next to her, "Sit down, sit down and speak slowly." ”

Bailijie only felt that the hairs on her back stood up, and the yin and yang weird Bailijie was really terrifying.

But she had to lick her face to get closer to her, the harem is the queen's world, only by pleasing the queen and complying with the queen, she can survive, and she will not be abandoned like Baili Wu, with the title of princess on her back.

Bailijie sat down obediently and asked again: "Does the imperial sister really want to recruit horses?" Will that Su Wuyi agree? ”

At the mention of the three words "Su Wuyi", Bai Liyan's still gentle face instantly darkened, and after a while, he sneered, "I can't help him when the time comes!" ”

Song Rui is sick.

Summer and autumn alternately contracted the wind and cold, and Baili took care of her by the bedside by boiling medicine herself.

Today's medicine is boiled, Baili Wu took out the medicinal juice and brought it to Song Rui while it was slightly hot, and the medicine should be drunk while it was hot.

She stepped into the room with the medicine in hand, and saw the person who should have been lying on the bed, sitting at the table by the window, reading a book by the light outside.

Her hair was untied, perhaps because of illness, it looked a little rough, and her face was not bloody, and the wind blowing in through the window stirred the paper on the table, and she coughed several times.

Baili hurriedly went over and put down the bowl and closed the window, "The doctor explained that Mr. can't see the wind, and Mr. should not sit under the window." ”

Song Rui was still holding the book and didn't pay attention to her plans.

Baili smiled helplessly in her heart, when did Song Rui listen to her words. She pushed the medicine bowl in front of her, "Sir, drink the medicine while it's hot." ”

Then he turned around and planned to go out.

"How's it going?" Song Rui's still cold voice came from behind him.

Baili didn't understand what she said for a while, and she walked back again, "What did Mr. ask me to consider?" ”

Song Rui frowned, "I asked if you wanted to get the Holy Grace." ”

Baili had already put this matter behind her, but she didn't expect Song Rui to ask her about it, and replied helplessly: "The student really doesn't want to get any holy grace." Perhaps for some people, the emperor's favor is a great gift and glory, but that is not what I want. What I want is fatherly love, not grace. ”

Song Rui was obviously stunned, and he was silent for a long moment before he said, "It seems that you haven't really grown up yet...... Father's love, that's the kind of emotion that ordinary people only have, and you want to get this in the palace? Are you telling me a joke? ”

Baili was silent, she knew that what Song Rui said was right.

"Since the gentleman said it, there is no father's love in the palace. So, where does the gratuitous favor come from, it is undoubtedly just exchanging some things for other things. Mr...... What do you want me to trade it for? ”

Song Rui didn't expect her to speak so bluntly today, squinted her eyes slightly, and looked at this girl who had been taught by herself for two years.

This is the real her.

On the surface, he is timid and cowardly, but he actually has a rebellious heart.

Wise and resolute.

The air was sucked into her chest, and her throat was unusually dry, and she couldn't help but cough a few more times.

Baili hurriedly persuaded: "Sir, drink the medicine quickly." ”

Song Rui didn't push back this time, and took the medicine and drank it up.

She put down the bowl, "Freedom, do you want to change?" ”

Baili took her empty bowl, "Thank you, sir, for your kindness." Students just want to live an ordinary life, and then find someone to marry, leave the palace, and teach their husband and children. ”

Song Rui's eyes fluctuated slightly, and he muttered to himself: "That's it...... It's pretty good, too. ”

Baili Wu turned around and walked towards the door with the empty bowl, and when she was about to step out of the door, Song Rui's voice suddenly came from behind.

"If you change your mind, come to me. I'm running out of time......"

Sir, is she finally going out of the palace?

Will her father let her go?

The autumn wind is whining, the autumn cold in the north comes earlier, Baili Wu took a light breath, and a cold ran down her throat into her chest, rolling up the depression that pressed in the deepest part of her heart.

In the past few days, Song Rui has not given her homework again, nor has he asked her any more questions.

The medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor has been eaten, but Song Rui's illness is still not improving, and the imperial pharmacy no longer gives her medicine. Baili Wu really had no choice, so she took all her private money and planned to secretly purchase medicinal materials from outside the palace, and buy some tonic medicine by the way.

Recently, I feel that my husband is getting thinner and thinner, and his complexion is not very good, but he doesn't cough much.

Anyway, she has no one to care about now, as long as she doesn't miss the time to decoct the medicine for her husband, she can still find time to leave the palace.

Baili Wu didn't plan to trouble Baili Huiyan this time, she knew that the third brother was good to her, so she cherished this hard-won family affection and didn't want to be ruined by her greed.

Although it was already afternoon, the streets were still crowded with people. Those who shout to buy and sell, those who bargain, those who set up a dragon gate array, and those who shout from time to time.

Baili walked through the crowd and looked for a pharmacy along the street. Finally, I stopped under a plaque with the words "Jishitang" written on it and walked in.

The lobby is spacious, the area of the shop is large, and there are many people standing in line.

It seems that this pharmacy is doing a good business, and Baili Wu is also in the back.

When she was about to be lined up, several people suddenly burst in from the door.

The man at the head was in his thirties, obese, with abscesses on his face, but he was dressed in a very decent fashion, red and gold silk and satin. He was followed by four people dressed in uniform gray domestic servants, all of whom were sturdy.

The people in the back of the queue dispersed one after another, silently making way for them.

The man smiled proudly, walked directly to the counter and ordered the clerk inside: "Grab some medicine for Lao Tzu that can eliminate sores!" ”

The clerk inside glanced at the other clerk, and his expression was quite calm, "Gong Gongzi, the pharmacy has regulations, and you can only catch medicine if you have a prescription." Did Childe bring a prescription? ”

The man with sores crossed the counter and grabbed the clerk's collar, "If I have a prescription, what are you doing here!" Hurry up and grab the medicine for Lao Tzu! ”

The manpower was infinite, and the emaciated clerk was almost dragged out of the counter by him at once.

The clerk's face turned white all of a sudden, and he trembled in embarrassment.

He only grabs medicine, and he doesn't know how to see a doctor, so how do you know what medicine to use for his abscess.

If he catches it, he will be responsible for what happens, and if he doesn't, he won't be able to get past the current hurdle......

Just as the clerk was sweating profusely and waiting for the boss to send someone to support him and was struggling, he heard someone in the crowd shouting that he couldn't stand it: "Doing chaos in broad daylight, is there any royal law?!" This is at the feet of the Son of Heaven! ”

Hiss......

I don't know who took a breath of cold air in the air.

Doesn't the person who spoke know that this is the little uncle of the current prince?

Even if he dismantles this pharmacy today, no one will dare to pursue it!

Gong Dufang suddenly raised his eyebrows, threw away the clerk, and looked into the crowd.

He glanced over, most of them bowed their heads, and no one dared to look at her.

Obviously, the person who shouted just now felt that his identity was not simple, and hid in the crowd and did not dare to speak again.

The person who shouted just now was obviously a young man, but after Gong Dufang's eyes turned around, he suddenly stopped at the fair-skinned and beautiful girl standing in the crowd.

His eyes suddenly lit up and he walked over to Bailiwen.

"Where's the little lady?" Gong Dufang pushed away the person who was blocking the girl, and said that he touched Baili Yan's face with his hand.

Baili Wu was not a nosy person, but she didn't expect that even if she kept silent, she would still have trouble coming to the door. She tilted her head in disgust, dodging his fat, pig's feet-like hands.

At this time, five or six people who were dressed like the clerk came out of the small door behind the counter, opened the baffle of the counter and walked over, and one of the leaders smiled at Gong Dufang, "Gong Gongzi, please don't remember the villain, don't embarrass the customers of the small shop." ”

The abscesses on Gong Dufang's face were burning, and he was not in a very good mood, so he glanced deeply at Baili and looked at the person who spoke.
