But understanding a truth is not the same thing as being able to do it. Qu Shi's voice lowered, "This harem and the previous dynasty, who is not both prosperous and lossy, how to grasp that boundary, when should it be insisted on, and when should it be retreated...... It's not all up to me. Sometimes before going to bed, I feel that everything can be done, but when I wake up, I feel that it is difficult to move, and it is not uncommon for the determination made the day before to be smashed the next day, after all, aren't we all 'dancing in shackles'? ”

Concubine Ning was stunned for a moment, and was suddenly hit by the intention of "dancing in shackles".

“…… But now I'm not afraid of that. Qu Shi looked at Concubine Ning, "There are some rules that I know I can't break, and I admit it." But some things are different, and I can just ignore it now, keep my head down, and slam into it, and it's okay to hit my head and bleed. Because I know that as long as Bai Ling is still in the East Side Hall, she will help me bandage it, she knows how to hold me up, and she knows how to calm me down. ”

Qu's five fingers gripped the door, his nails almost digging into the wood, "...... So you ask me who is Bai Ling? She's not one of those people you're talking about, and I don't need her to be mine, she just needs to live in the East Wing Hall like she is now......"

Concubine Ning's gaze gradually retracted, she looked down at the cup in her hand, and looked at the pattern on it silently.

Although she didn't fully understand Fang Cai's words, she had already understood one thing - Bai Ling's weight in Moon Shadow would never be light.

"Is that so...... Concubine Ning frowned slightly, "It seems...... It's me thinking wrong. ”

Qu Shi shook his head, "I don't want to blame you, it's that I never told you about these things, and I didn't tell Zheng Shubao and them...... It's understandable that you don't understand what Boling means to me. In short, I don't believe a word of Lin's accusations, I must be flexible! ”

……

In the corridor of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Qiu Shi slowly walked in with four breakfasts.

Emperor Jianxi hadn't closed his eyes since last night, and he was still talking to those officials from the north.

Qiu Shi bowed down and entered the main hall, just put the breakfast on the table aside and withdrew—just as he wondered why Huang Chongde was not in the hall to accompany His Majesty, he saw Huang Gonggong change into the official uniform of the master of ceremonies and slowly walked out of the side door in the hall of heart cultivation.

"Father-in-law, are you going out?"

"Well, I'll go to General Shen's mansion, Your Majesty has a will." Huang Chongde leaned his neck and walked forward, tying the hat strap on his chin, "Is there much breakfast?" ”

"Yes, the Imperial Dining Room sent ten copies."

"Okay." Huang Chongde lifted the hat on his head, "You pick up a copy and follow me to see Bai Ling." ”

Qiu Shi nodded hurriedly, "Huh." ”

Huang Chongde walked fast, Qiu Shi held the tray, and the porridge and soup on the plate were also steady and not spilled.

"The emperor shouldn't have much time to deal with Bai Ling's affairs in the past two days," Huang Chongde's voice was as light as his steps, "so let's follow the rules first and send Bai Si Yao to the Shen Criminal Division to be imprisoned." After a while, you will do this matter in person, and you must say hello to those slaves and maids of the Shen Penal Division, this is the person appointed by the Holy Lord for interrogation, and it cannot be dealt with as an ordinary criminal slave. If a hair is missing when Bai Ling is brought out in a few days, the burden will be borne by whoever is responsible. ”

"Huh! The son understood. Qiu Shi hurriedly replied, "That fourteenth master's side—"

"The emperor has other things for Wei Fourteen to do, this will wait for me to come back from the General's Mansion in a while, and I will go and tell Wei Fourteen in person, and let him stay in the Heart Cultivation Palace and wait at this time." Huang Chongde replied, "You can also pick up a plate of breakfast and take it to him." ”

"Okay."

"And then—" Huang Chongde's voice stopped abruptly as he had just stepped into the side hall where Bai Ling was imprisoned.

Qiu Shi followed, and then saw the scene in the side hall-

I saw that Bai Ling took the spare curtain in the side hall and put a pillow on it, and pulled a few pieces of the old curtain that was about to be sent to the Huanyi Division to cover his body.

The little man was curled up in the corner, sleeping with his eyes closed, and he didn't even hear Qiu Shi and Huang Chongde's footsteps entering the house.

"Oh, this little girl...... What is it good to say," Qiu Shi showed a helpless smile on his face, he slowly walked a few steps closer, and then turned back to Huang Chongde and said, "I can still sleep at this time, my heart is really a little bigger, do you want the slave to go over and call her up now?" ”

Huang Chongde also had a slight smile on his face, "Forget it...... It's a blessing to be able to sleep. ”

"...... the Sentencing Division"

"You send someone over and watch, when the person wakes up, eats, and sends it over there, it's the same." Huang Chongde looked at the sky, "I won't stay here for long." ”

"Eh," Qiu Shi hurriedly replied, "Father-in-law hurry up and go to the general's mansion on an errand, and leave the matter here to me." ”

Before leaving, Huang Chongde couldn't help but glance at Bai Ling in the corner.

This girl's temperament when the sky fell and was covered with a quilt reminded him of his old friend again.

……

The sun rises, the sun sets, and the day passes in the blink of an eye.

After Guozi was supervised from school, it was rare for Shizi not to go to a nearby horse farm with Zeng Jiuyan and them, nor did he return to the palace on foot as usual, but took a carriage to the palace quickly.

All day today, the entire Guozijian was talking about a news from the north - just half a month ago, the Jin people had annihilated their last rebellious tribe north of the Luer River, and carried out a new suzerain's worship ceremony.

At this point, the Jin people's twenty-three years of civil strife ended, and the seven tribes that had set up separate banners have now all been incorporated into the territory of the new generation of Jin suzerain, Arslan, and it is this tribe that has fought with Chang Sheng and Shen Jichuan in the northern border of the Great Zhou for ten years.

From now on, the entire northern border of the Great Zhou, which stretches for thousands of miles, will no longer be bordered by a few fragmented tribes, but will be completely exposed to a new ruler of the Jin Kingdom.

The problem is here - when the Arslan Department was fighting on multiple fronts, Da Zhou could only fight with them in a draw, and now that the other side has pacified the civil strife, what kind of situation will the war turn to?

No one can answer this kind of question.

The prince listened to the prison of the country all day, and his comrades were either impassioned or depressed and worried, but what they said was based entirely on their own conjectures and attitudes, and not on the actual border situation. He didn't want to get involved in this kind of conversation, so he was silent all day.

For him, there is another thing that is extremely important at first sight today.

Tonight is the day when Master Sun and Master Zhang come to the mansion to discuss matters with their father—and from today onwards, he will also participate in every night meeting in the palace.
