Can't redeem? ”

The pen in Chen Yicong's hand stopped, he raised his eyes with a little surprise, and glanced at the secret guard who was kneeling not far away.

Almost instantly, Chen Yicong noticed the change in his expression, and then quickly lowered his eyes to regain his serenity.

“…… Did Bai Ling say it to Zeng Jiuyan in person tonight? Chen Yicong asked softly.

"Yes." The Dark Guard replied in a deep voice.

"What is the reason?"

"Bai Siyao and the bustard have made another deal," replied the dark guard, "and since there are two families who want to rob her now, then there is no hurry to settle the place for now, and it is better to wait for the day of the May Crescent Shop to let her come to the stage, so that the two families can bid together." ”

Chen Yicong didn't understand, "What does this have to do with whether Zeng Jiuyan can redeem her?" ”

The dark guard looked a little embarrassed, and he was silent for a while before he said softly, "...... Bai Siyao guessed that behind the other head of the family, there was ...... Your Majesty. ”

Chen Yicong looked at the paper and pen on his desk with an indifferent expression, "...... And then what? ”

She ...... She said that although the little marquis would definitely not redeem her, on that day, she could raise the price so that she could increase her value. ”

“…… Words? ”

"Exact words."

Chen Yicong lost his pen, angry and funny, "...... Is this the silver that wants to join forces to deceive me? ”

The dark guard didn't dare to say anything, but buried his head lower.

"Did Bai Ling say why she refused to accept Zeng Jiuyan's ransom in private?" Chen Yicong said coldly, "That bustard girl should be in a hurry to sell a favor in the Dingbian Mansion, right?" ”

"Got it." The dark guard replied, "Bai Siyao said that no one can say for sure what will happen in the future, if she really enters the door of the little marquis's house, if the little marquis suddenly leaves Beijing and goes north in the future, or if she has decided to have a family affair and a wife, then her situation will be very bad - even worse than in Baihuaya." She was reluctant to narrow her path. ”

Chen Yicong frowned almost imperceptibly, Bai Ling was thinking too far, now that people have not yet gone out of the Hundred Flowers, they have begun to guard against the danger that has not yet happened.

- After all, aren't you just guarding yourself?

“…… Got it. Chen Yicong said in a low voice.

The secret guard waited for a while, and when he saw that Chen Yicong did not give a new order, he raised his hand and prepared to retire.

"Wait," Chen Yicong said suddenly, "How many of you are staring at Bai Ling's side in Baihuaya now?" ”

"Not much, maybe three or four." The Dark Guard replied.

"Withdrawn." Chen Yicong said softly, "All of them have withdrawn, what did they do before, what are they still doing now." ”

The Dark Guard was momentarily surprised, "...... What does the emperor mean? ”

"I don't have to interfere in Bai Ling's affairs in the future." Chen Yicong said coldly, "Whatever she wants, she can do it." ”

"The tooth shop in May, the emperor still plans-"

"No matter." Chen Yicong's voice was light and fast, "Tell the people below that the money will be paid after the fixed amount, and there is no need to go again on the day of the tooth deal, so there is no such thing." ”

The secret guards below were stunned for a moment, and they couldn't understand the emperor's sudden order for a while.

Chen Yicong didn't look at him, and asked in a low voice, "Cheng Li's injury, how is it now?" ”

- When Wei 14 was arrested at the end of last year, Cheng Li was scratched on the arm by Wei 14, who escaped over the wall, and then put him in the civil service of Beizhen Fusi to recuperate for a period of time, until Chen Yicong was assassinated, he was hand-picked into the palace again, and guarded Chen Yicong's side.

The young secret guard hurriedly replied, "Back to the saint, Lord Cheng's injuries have long been fine, and the things on the side of the firearms camp have been staring at Lord Cheng these days——"

"I know," Chen Yicong interrupted the people below in a low voice, "I am going to Zhuozhou again this April......

The Emperor's voice returned to its usual solemnity, and he picked up the imperial pen in his hand again.

"You go and pass the decree for me, and let Cheng Li accompany you."

"Yes!"

……

The young secret guard scratched his head and returned to Beizhen Fusi, his master Chengli was sorting out the day's recital, and although it was late at night, the lights in the room were still on.

Cheng Li listened to the apprentice talk about the music in today's Heart Cultivation Palace.

"Got it, I'll enter the palace in the middle of the night." Cheng Li replied.

"Then over there, I'm going to talk to their ward now?"

Cheng Li frowned and nodded, feeling that something was wrong.

“…… Wait a minute! ”

Just before the young guard was about to leave the door, Cheng Li called out to him.

The young man stopped and turned around, "What else does the master command?" ”

“…… Don't withdraw them all, leave one. Cheng Li's eyes were cold and he said in a low voice.

"But the emperor said-"

"Then keep one, too." Cheng Li replied, "But in terms of specific actions, as long as you can save Xiao Siyao's life, don't worry about anything else." ”

The young dark guard tilted his head in confusion, "But ......"

"Do as I say." Cheng Li no longer talked nonsense with his apprentice, he looked up at the night outside the window, and couldn't help but think of the picture of Chen Yicong chasing people in the snow with blood after Bai Ling's assassination.

Cheng Li sighed.

“…… You'll understand later. ”

……

Early the next morning, Ai Songqing felt someone pushing his shoulder in his sleep.

"Songqing, Songqing?"

Familiar sounds.

Ai Songqing opened her eyes and found Bai Ling's face hanging in front of her eyes, she was startled and woke up in an instant.

"Eh, scared you?" Bai Ling looked at Ai Songqing's expression, a little embarrassed.

Ai Songqing stroked her heart, only to feel her heart beating wildly, she reluctantly shook her head, and glanced out the window—at this time, it was not yet full of light outside, and most of the people in the room were still immersed in sleep.

“…… It's not time for morning exercise," Ai Songqing rubbed his eyes, really helpless, "Why are you ...... Why do you wake up so early? ”

"Are you going to take a shower?" Bai Ling asked softly.

Ai Songqing was stunned for a moment, "...... Right now? ”

"Well," Bai Ling nodded, "Today's first water, do you want to try it?" ”

- It's amazing!

Ai Songqing got up with Bai Ling in a daze, both of them were barefoot, quietly bypassing the other people's beds in a hazy shimmer, and waited down the stairs on this floor, Ai Songqing saw the turtle paws waiting there.

The turtle paws prepared their shoes and robes, and although their expressions were indifferent, they were not as fierce as they had been a few days ago.

The turtle paws took the two girls down to the first floor of this place - Ai Songqing really didn't feel sleepy at all at this time, because this bathhouse was something they had never been to before.

At the bottom of this tower, there are all new singers and dancers who have entered Baihuaya, they come from different backgrounds, some are dug from other places by the bustard mother, and some are good seedlings specially selected from the people, but most of them have not yet appeared in Baihuaya.

According to the jargon here, the people who live in this tower are all "buds".

Only these "buds" can use the bathhouse here.

Ai Songqing followed behind Bai Ling a little timidly—they really went all the way unimpeded, and after changing their clothes, they smoothly entered the innermost pond soup.

The huge bath is now just her and Bai Ling.

To be reasonable, with such a pool of hot water, even if you don't do anything else, it's very comfortable to just stay in it and soak in it......

Ai Songqing and Bai Ling let out a pleasant sigh together.

"Anyway," Ai Songqing looked at Bai Ling in the mist, "where did you go last night?" ”
