Zheng Shu's eyes fell on the girl who came back with Bao Yuan.

She was almost half-leaning on Bao Yuan's body, her body shivering in the night wind that had gradually subsided, and the blanket she had wrapped earlier was completely wet.

This situation really touched Zheng Shu's compassion, she took the umbrella that Bao Yuan barely held on her shoulders and neck, and said in a low voice, "Don't say it, it's cold outside, come in." ”

At this time, Qu had changed all her clothes in the dormitory, and although she was tired of it, she still cooperated with her subordinates to complete all the affairs.

The maids carefully inspected the wet clothes that the lady had changed into - fortunately, only the outermost wide robe was a little wet, and the clothes underneath were mostly dry.

Confirming this, just as one person was about to report to Zheng Shu, Zheng Shu had already opened the curtain of the inner room and flashed into the house.

After confirming the wet clothes changed by the concubine with her own eyes, Zheng Shu's hanging heart fell.

Behind the gauze tent on the bed, Qu Shi drank a bowl of ginger soup, handed out an empty bowl, and his voice recovered a little, "Mother-in-law, don't stay with me, go to Bao Yuan's place to see if there is anything she can help...... She's alone, and I'm not at ease. ”

Zheng Shu nodded in response, explained a few more matters to the palace maid on the side, and went out to the side hall - before the concubine left, a medicinal bath soup basin had been set up for Bai Ling.

As soon as Zheng Shu entered the door of the side hall, she saw Bai Ling still curled up in the corner wearing wet skin, but she was wrapped in a few layers of dry blankets, and Bao Yuan was still directing a few new girls to adjust the water temperature of the bath soup behind the screen.

Bao Yuan, who was behind the screen, heard Zheng Shu's voice, and couldn't help but stop moving, and looked out, "Granny Shu is here?" ”

"Oops!" Zheng Shu couldn't help but sigh, Niangniang guessed really right, "You don't care about the bath soup first!" Bring me a charcoal basin, as well as ginger soup and rice porridge that you can eat! ”

Under Zheng Shu's command, several palace people quickly took off Bai Ling's wet clothes and took a new blanket to dry the rain on her body. Then, Zheng Shu asked a few palace people to gently rub Bai Ling's limbs, and put the newly brought charcoal basin four or five steps away from her, and roasted it from a distance.

After a long while, Bai Ling's consciousness really cleared up a little - she really didn't expect that the spring cold of March and the sudden wind and rain could make people freeze like this.

Zheng Shu glared at Bao Yuan, "If you go directly to the hot water just now, this girl's hands and feet will have to be soaked!" ”

Bao Yuan stuck out his tongue and said softly, "I didn't mean to, there has never been anyone frozen in the palace, where did I know about this......"

"Why haven't you frozen," Zheng Shu raised her eyes and glanced at Bao Yuan, "That's you heartless, don't take anything in your eyes or heart!" ”

The corners of Bao Yuan's mouth sank, but he laughed again, and said coquettishly, "You still say that I, you are, the little grandson of the family was born, and he walked for four days in a row!" You don't even know how we've been here these days......"

Anyway, there was no work to do, so Bao Yuan simply sat down and talked to Zheng Shu about what had happened in the past few days.

Zheng Shu listened silently throughout the whole process, and the more she listened, the more frightened she felt.

When it came to tonight's events, Bao Yuan leaned down and whispered in Zheng Shu's ear.

"That's what the mother said?"

"Why am I lying to you?" Bao Yuan's eyes were sad, "I'm stupid next to me...... I've never seen a mother say such a heavy thing to anyone. ”

Looking at Bai Ling again, Zheng Shu's gaze also changed.

This girl has only entered the palace on the first day, and she has caused such a big storm in Chengqian Palace.

The mother treats her too differently......

Bai Ling's face slowly became a little bloody at this time, she began to feel thirsty and hungry, the white porridge brought by the palace people drank two bowls in a row, and was poured into a small half bowl of ginger soup in a good way, only then did she have the strength, raised her head and said to Zheng Shu, who had been busy on the side, "Thank you." ”

"Don't talk about this, talk about this life." Zheng Shu said lightly, "Since the girl is good, then the old slave will go back to the mother to have a look." Saying that, Zheng Shu looked at Bao Yuan again, frowned and admonished, "Don't soak for too long, just get rid of the cold on your body." ”

"Okay!" Bao Yuan stepped forward and grabbed Zheng Shu's arm, "I'll send you!" ”

Seeing Bao Yuan's smile, Zheng Shu couldn't help but step forward and poke her head gently, "You are so reckless, no wonder the old lady wants to beat you!" I'm not here in the future, what can I do! ”

The voices of the two went away, and the palace people retreated one by one. Bai Ling leaned over to the brazier and shook his head vigorously, shaking off his still dripping hair.

At this time, her hands and feet were already warm, only her knees still hurt a little, she got up wrapped in a blanket and did some simple warm-up exercises to further stretch her stiff joints.

By the time Bao Yuan returned, Bai Ling had already sat down in the bathtub by himself.

Bao Yuan didn't see anyone for a while, and her heart was shocked, so she heard the sound of water behind the screen, and she moved a small wooden chair and walked around, "Why is the girl herself-"

Before he finished speaking, Bao Yuan's voice had stopped abruptly.

Her gaze rested on Bai Ling's back, which had a long, hideous scar on his back in the dim light.

Bao Yuan's heart was frightened, his hand slipped, and the wooden chair he was carrying fell from his hand.

Bai Ling turned her head sideways, and saw that Bao Yuan was stunned, and immediately understood, she turned around lightly and hid the scar under the water, "Sorry, did it scare you?" ”

Bao Yuan was a little relieved at this time, she shook her head, raised her hand and waved the half-moon-shaped stone chip in her hand, "...... No, I just want to...... Come and scratch the girl's back. ”

Bai Ling smiled, and then turned his back to Bao Yuan, "Okay, thank you." ”

Bao Yuan sat down by the wooden basin, and saw that Bai Ling had his back to him, so he simply stopped avoiding his gaze.

The scar was really long, starting on Bai Ling's left shoulder and ending in the right lumbar socket, almost running through her entire back.

It had long since healed, but the scar was still bulging outward, like a creeping vine covering the girl's back, and it looked mottled.

Bao Yuan scooped up a scoop of water and poured it on Bai Ling's back, and the direct look at the scar still made her a little uneasy.

Bai Ling is thin, but very well-proportioned. Such beautiful shoulders and necks are rarely seen even among new show girls, if there is no scar, it is really a beauty who hires Tingting.

"How did you hurt your back?" Bao Yuan asked softly.

"I don't know," Bai Ling shook his head, "I asked my dad when I was a kid, and he said the scar was there when I was born. ”

"Does it hurt?"

"I don't feel anything." Bai Ling replied calmly.

Bao Yuan sighed, this little girl is so young, she carries such a scary thing on her back, but she is afraid that if she marries someone in the future, she will be disliked by her in-laws.

Somehow, a little sympathy floated in Bao Yuan's heart, and most of the previous fear dissipated.

"By the way," Bai Ling said suddenly, "I have some questions, I don't know if it's inconvenient to ask you......"

"The girl said it was enough."

Bai Ling tilted his head slightly, "Is the old lady who came this morning really Niangniang's biological mother?" ”
