In the evening, in the west firewood room of the Tai Hospital, Bai Yi looked at the visitor in front of him with some surprise.

"So Bai Ling is going to stay in the palace tonight?"

"Yes," Zhao Qi nodded, "Si Yao is afraid that you will be worried, so let me pass it on." ”

"Got it." Bai Yi nodded.

This was a common occurrence in the past, and occasionally Bai Ling would spend the night in her courtyard and come back the next morning.

"And when is she going to be home tomorrow morning?" Bai Yi asked casually.

“…… Yes? Zhao Qi was stunned for a moment.

"Didn't she tell you when she would be back?" Bai Yi asked a little strangely.

"I didn't ...... No, I don't. Zhao Qi scratched his head, "Tomorrow morning, tomorrow morning, Bai Si Yao should not go back." ”

“…… Why. Bai Yi sensed that something was wrong, and he frowned and looked at the palace people in front of him, "You tell me clearly, why is Bai Ling staying in the palace tonight?" ”

"Well, because of the emperor, the emperor has something to stay...... Stay in the medicine to discuss. ”

"What's the matter?"

Zhao Qi smiled a little weakly, "...... How could the slave know this? Doctor Bai, don't ask, in short, everything is safe in the palace. ”

A few apprentices sent Zhao Qi out.

It didn't take long for Bai Yi to leave in a hurry from the Xichai room alone, and his direction was very clear - to enter the palace.

Tonight, Bai Yi got a temporary voucher for entering the palace on the grounds that a case record fell in the duty room.

It was not difficult for him to enter the palace, especially three years ago, after Bai Yi's exclusive wooden table was placed in the Tai Hospital duty room in the inner palace.

But tonight's Bai Yi didn't care about any case records - the duty room of the Tai Hospital and Bai Ling's small courtyard were only separated by a wall.

He had to see for himself what was going on with Bai Ling.

However, before they left the gate of the Tai Hospital, Jin Yiwei quickly intercepted him from behind - the direction to the palace gate was diametrically opposite to the direction in which Bai Yi went home, and they almost immediately sensed that Bai Yi wanted to enter the palace.

After some cross-examination, the brocade guards smiled.

"Dr. Bai can tell me where to put the case and what it looks like, and we will send someone to pick it up."

"That case book is ordinary, and it's probably mixed up in the manuscript—"

"Doctor Bai will say where exactly it is, at most the brothers will run a few more times and give you one trip at a time until you find it."

Bai Yi looked at the insistence of several people in front of him, and his heart was shocked for a while.

Bai Ling probably didn't just stay in the courtyard tonight......

She was imprisoned.

“…… Never mind. Bai Yi replied, "Moving around like this, I really lost something when the time comes, and I don't know whose it is." ”

The brocade guards raised their hands and clenched their fists, "Thank you for your understanding!" ”

Bai Yi turned around.

In the night, he felt that the hands in his sleeves were already trembling slightly.

What to do......

What to do now? What can be done?

When I noticed that Chen Yicong was suspicious yesterday, should I make a decision immediately and flee overnight?

However, the gates of Pingjing were closed at night, and the palace had already sent people to keep an eye on them the next morning...... It's easier said than done.

Is it a wrong step now, a wrong step?

Boling ......

……

"So I let Wei 14 run away."

Chen Yicong looked at the five people in front of him coldly.

One of them had injured his arm, blood was still oozing from the bandage, his face was pale, and he was being held tightly by the man next to him.

"How many people did you bring to block today, and three of them are still secret guards like him, and they can't stop a Wei Fourteen when they join forces?"

Several people knelt down at the same time, "Humble duty...... Impotent. ”

"Twenty rods." Chen Yicong glanced at the three people in front, "Wu Yan, Sea Buckthorn and Chengli have sixty canes." ”

Several people were stunned, "Your Majesty—"

Chen Yicong glanced deeply at the person kneeling on the ground, "...... Cheng Li is injured, first heal the injury, and after he recovers, he will receive the punishment himself. ”

Only then did several people breathe a sigh of relief and kowtow to thank them.

Then, a few others conveyed the news from Bai Yi's side tonight - he was stopped when he entered the palace, and then turned around and went to the Dingbian Marquis Mansion to find Zeng Jiuyan.

Chen Yicong didn't think it was strange that Zeng Jiuyan and the Bai family brothers and sisters had always been very close.

But this time, no matter who you look for, it's useless.

After everyone left, Chen Yicong's eyes looked at the curtain not far away, "Did you hear it?" ”

Heng Yuanjun slowly walked out from behind the curtain.

"I hear you."

“…… It's ridiculous," Chen Yicong's teeth trembled slightly, "If it weren't for a weak heart, what would Wei Fourteen run!" ”

Heng Yuanjun lowered his eyes.

"If you run away, you can catch it again." He said softly, "Originally, I wanted the emperor to see how Bai Siyao and Wei Shixi reacted in this matter. ”

Chen Yicong sneered, "I have said it, I want solid evidence." Even if Wei 14 resists arrest today, it is just speculation, you catch him first! ”

Heng Yuanjun smiled, "As long as Bai Siyao is still in the palace, how can he not catch Wei Fourteen." ”

Chen Yicong glanced at Heng Yuanjun, "...... Are you so sure that Wei XIV is the key? ”

Heng Yuanjun didn't answer directly, just looked at the night window not far away, and said softly, "Today, Han Chong sent all the information he collected into Qinyuan, and the minister watched it all day. ”

"What did you find?"

"The record of the cypress is very broken." Heng Yuanjun said softly, "Sometimes, even if it is an important matter, such as going to Jingzhao Yin Yamen to visit Lord Zheng, there are only a few words in the record, and it is mentioned in one stroke;

"And sometimes, even Bai Siyao went to the play, which part was crying, which part was laughing, it was written."

Chen Yicong pondered this sentence and waited quietly for the following.

The minister thought it was strange, so he summoned these recorders from different periods to inquire about it...... The answer was unexpected. ”

"What?"

"If Wei Fourteen followed Bai Siyao's side on weekdays, then they wouldn't dare to get too close—because once they were aware of their whereabouts, they would be warned by Wei Fourteen.

This is also the reason why many meetings that seem important are recorded in a few words.

"But in the records of the past few years, especially in the past three years...... Their records are clearly much more informative at some moments than they were before.

"The people who do these jobs in the Fusi of Beizhen are usually some small flag officials who are not in the stream, and they are very mobile, so even if the predecessors were driven away when they were keeping an eye on Bai Ling, and the later people received new jobs, they are still close.

"But some people still can't remember any details like their predecessors, but some people can almost completely record the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of Bai Si Yao on a certain day......

Heng Yuanjun looked at Chen Yicong again.

"Your Majesty, what do you think this means?"

Chen Yicong frowned slightly, and his face became more and more gloomy.

“…… It means that Wei XIV was not by Bai Ling's side that day. ”

Heng Yuanjun nodded, "Since he is not by Bai Siyao's side, then, where is he?" ”

Chen Yicong leaned back slowly, and his eyes fell to the ground a little tiredly.

…… The question really goes straight to the core.

"We don't know anything about Wei XIV's whereabouts," Heng Yuanjun continued, "so the minister wants to arrest him, and he can't be arrested—because all the secrets of Bai Siyao are on Wei XIV." ”
