Chapter 270: Redemption
There is a long way from the Prudent Criminal Division to the Heart Cultivation Palace.
Bai Ling stayed with Chen Yicong several times to watch, perhaps because it was relatively close, she could even hear the sound of Shizi's nervous breathing.
"Did the prince enter the palace tonight specifically for my business?" Bai Ling asked softly.
“…… Well. Shizi nodded, he sensed Bai Ling's gaze, and couldn't help but hold the umbrella in his hand tighter.
Even with a faint light, Bai Ling was able to capture many details that he hadn't noticed before.
The young man's slightly red cheeks, his knuckles that turned white from overexertion, deliberately dodged but couldn't help but cast his gaze......
What all this means, the eleven-year-old Bai Ling may not understand yet, but now Bai Ling can see it clearly.
She couldn't hide the surprise in her heart - when did this happen?
Now think about the last time I saw Shizi in Donglin Temple, his panicked and abnormal words and deeds...... Bai Ling suddenly realized.
This little guy ......
This little guy is......
Bai Ling, who understood, suddenly lowered her head and laughed—she couldn't tell why she was laughing, but she felt that things were a little absurd and unexpected.
"What's wrong?" Shizi looked over with some concern from the side.
Bai Ling raised her head and found that the umbrella above her head was tilted to her side again, and Chen Yicong didn't notice that half of her shoulder was drenched in the rain, and she was suddenly very moved.
After careful calculation, this is not the first time that this child has taken action for herself, and on the night she was in Yinfeng Garden earlier, she had received the grace of the son of the world.
Bai Ling reached out and grabbed the handle of the umbrella and said softly, "I'll come." ”
"How good is this—"
"Let me do it." Bai Ling increased the strength in his hand a little and said with a smile.
Chen Yicong had no choice but to let go of his hand, let Bai Ling hold the umbrella, and re-hold it between the two.
"Does the Holy One blame you?" Bai Ling asked.
Shizi shook his head.
"What about the prince?"
"I haven't had time to speak to my father," replied the prince, "but you don't have to worry if the sky is broken, and you won't have to worry about being beaten." ”
Bai Ling sighed softly, originally wanting to persuade him not to act like this in the future, but when the words came to his mouth, they still became a sentence, "Thank you." ”
The corners of Chen Yicong's mouth couldn't help but rise, he turned his head to look away, and said lightly, "It's okay." ”
……
When Bai Ling and Chen Yicong arrived at the Heart Cultivation Hall together, the two walked through the corridor full of red candles together, and Bai Ling saw Huang Chongde waiting there at the end, with a serious face.
Bai Ling's eyes sank slightly, and he called in a low voice that only he and Chen Yicong on the side could hear, "Lord Shizi? ”
"Huh?"
"After a while, the palace will answer, can you promise me, no matter what I say, you won't break it, okay?"
Chen Yicong's gaze was also calm, "...... What are you going to say? ”
Bai Ling didn't speak, just looked at him with a look that was a mixture of pleading and smiling.
Huang Chongde was getting closer and closer to them, and Shizi frowned and replied in a low voice, "Okay." ”
It wasn't until he actually entered the main hall that Bai Ling realized how big a fuss this was tonight.
The gauze tent on the royal collapse had been rolled up, and Emperor Jianxi had already changed into the clothes he was going to wear for a while, and sat on the collapse with his eyes closed—and on his left hand, Prince Gong and the princess had also arrived, and when they saw the prince coming in, they instinctively wanted to get up, but they immediately realized that it was rude, so they had to sit back again.
The lights in the main hall were much brighter than outside, and Bai Ling saw that Chen Yicong was wet all over his body—and Prince Gong and the princess on the side, although they looked like they had changed their dry clothes, the hair on their temples was still wet and sticking to their foreheads.
Of all the people who came in from outside, it seemed that he was the only one who didn't get much rain.
"Shizi," Bai Ling whispered, and she pointed to the clothes in the tray on the desk next to her, "Do you want to change first?" Don't catch a cold......"
Qiu Shi's face was helpless, and he just wanted to say, "Bai Si Yaosheng persuaded me, and the clothes were left there because the prince didn't want to change them", but he saw the prince nodding quietly - Chen Yicong turned around, took the clothes and went to the inner room of the Heart Cultivation Palace.
"Hey......" Qiu Shi scratched his head, and immediately heard Emperor Jianxi on the throne "snort" softly.
Bai Ling knelt down at this time, "Sinner Bai Ling, knock on the emperor, the prince, the princess, long live the emperor, the prince, the princess is a thousand years old." ”
Prince Gong and Princess Gong looked at the girl in front of them, each with mixed tastes.
King Gong's front foot only listened to Zhang and Sun talk about this medicine, and his own son rushed into the wind and rain for this girl. For a moment, he didn't know what to do. King Gong Yuguang kept looking at Emperor Jianxi, and after thinking about it, he still decided to wait and see for a while to see what his father's attitude was, and then make plans.
On the princess's side, it's even more complicated. She only felt a mixture of worries in her heart, and a little or two of peace of mind.
Needless to say, it is reassuring that the person who has come to tea and dinner these days is the girl Bai Ling - this is better than which beautiful monk in Donglin Temple he likes.
Emperor Jianxi was still sitting there, his eyes closed and he didn't say a word.
Huang Chongde stood behind Bai Ling and said softly, "What's going on, let's talk about it." ”
"Everything is a momentary confusion of the criminal minister...... Bai Ling's voice was slow, "I originally wanted to leave a few more retreats for myself in the future, and deliberately befriended the sons of the prince, Zeng Xiaohouye, Li Jueye and Zhang Shangshu. and even caused such a big turmoil, and the minister was guilty of a big crime. ”
Hearing Bai Ling's words, Emperor Jianxi on the throne couldn't help but open his eyes.
Chen Yicong also heard it in the room, and he inexplicably looked back in the direction where the voice came from—what was she talking about? What does she want to do?
Huang Chongde said softly, "How did you cling to it?" ”
Bai Ling looked at the floor in front of him, "...... At first, he did meet the prince by chance in the imperial garden, but the minister soon became suspicious of the identity of the prince, and later found out that he was not a guard.
The minister pretended not to know the identity of the prince and became friends with the son. The prince was benevolent, and he knew that the little marquis wanted to come to the ministers on the night of the Anhu flower viewing party, so he told me all this in advance. ”
Over there, Emperor Jianxi frowned slightly, and Huang Chongde opened his mouth here, "Why do Zeng Jiuyan and the others want to trouble you?" ”
"Because they think that the minister must have used some kind of magic on the concubine." Bai Ling said softly, "They are worried that allowing me to run rampant in the palace will damage His Majesty's dragon body. ”
Prince Gong breathed a sigh of relief—this was for Bai Lingyuan to come back.
You must know that Zeng Jiuyan didn't want to fix her because she was worried about the concubine, on the contrary, it was precisely because the concubine was like a day after day, making the tail of the Song family higher and higher, that this group of teenagers decided to take a look at Bai Ling for Tianxingdao.
Everything that rested, Bai Ling told the truth.
How did she break up that night, how did she approach Zeng Jiuyan alone, and how she directly avoided the danger through Zeng Jiuyan, and by the way, she brushed her favorability on the little marquis......
Prince Gong was full of unhappiness when he heard this, and he only felt that Zhang Shouzhong was really blind, so he would feel that the girl in front of him was a talent to fight for. He cautiously glanced at Emperor Jianxi, who was staring at Bai Ling intently, his expression unpredictable.
Just when Prince Gong was unsure of how to say his position for a while, he suddenly heard Zhen sitting next to him laugh very softly.
