Qinglian followed Bai Ling into the house, and her face even had the joy of being called in alone to speak, and she quickly relived in her mind what happened yesterday when Bai Ling was away, so that Bai Ling could answer it fluently when she asked for a while.

However, Bai Ling didn't say anything in a hurry, and after Qinglian stepped into the door of the east side hall, Bai Ling closed the door and took the latch, locking the door from the house.

Qinglian felt a little uneasy in her heart, and she only felt that Bai Siyao didn't seem to be in a good mood today.

I saw Bai Ling turn his back, make two cups of tea with the newly changed hot water on the table, and then pull two chairs in front of the table, then turn around and stretch out his hand to himself.

"Sit."

Qinglian was stunned, she moved to the chair in small steps, holding the back of the chair but didn't dare to sit down, "If Bai Siyao has instructions to tell me, I ......"

Bai Ling didn't seem to hear Qinglian's words, but just stretched out his hand to Qinglian again.

"You come and sit."

Qinglian looked at Bai Ling's eyes, the indifference and seriousness in the other party's eyes made her shudder a little, she had always been respectful and afraid of this young medicine, she only felt that Bai Ling was as gentle and amiable as the sister next door when she laughed, but she couldn't put her face down......

Qinglian endured her fear and slowly sat down in front of Bai Ling.

Bai Ling also sat down, and suddenly said, "How many years have you been in the palace?" ”

Qinglian's heart swelled with ominousness, and she lowered her head and said, "...... Slave maid, I have been in the palace for three years. ”

"Is it three years or four years," Bai Ling looked straight at Qinglian with his eyes, "Think about it." ”

Qinglian's hands shook coldly, then she got up from her chair and knelt on the ground.

Bai Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Qinglian who was suddenly panicked in front of him.

"What for?"

"Bai Siyao, please listen to the slave maid's explanation......!"

If it weren't for this trip to the Archives Division, Bai Ling would have never imagined that Qinglian and Chu Lan had also been in the Teaching Division for nearly a year.

Both of them have the surname Fang, and they are cousins. Because the Fang clan maliciously occupied the mountainous area of Donglin Temple and organized an extremely ferocious fight, dozens of monks in Donglin Temple were killed. At that time, the Fang clan was sentenced to pay a very heavy fine, which almost emptied the entire clan almost overnight, and the patriarch even blamed the hanging beam, and the vitality of the entire clan was greatly damaged for a while.

The main culprits in this fight were the fathers of Qinglian and Chulan, who were beheaded that year, and all their wives and daughters were implicated and sent to the Jiaofang Division.

This is the forty-first year of Jianxi, and Lin Jieyu is the palace that Jianxi entered in the autumn of the forty-second year.

The timing was so neat.

Bai Ling leaned on the back of the chair and took a deep breath, she picked up the tea cup on the table next to her, and gently stroked the tea powder from the water with the tea lid, "Say, I'm listening." ”

Qinglian raised her head slightly, "Si Yao...... The medicine is ...... What did you hear? ”

"You don't care what I've heard, you say your own." Bai Ling's eyes were cold, "What will happen if you lie to me again, you have been in the palace longer than me, and you should know better than me." ”

Qinglian shuddered involuntarily, "The slave doesn't dare to lie, but I don't know where to start...... What Si Yao wants to know, the slave will never hide anything......"

Bai Ling put the tea cup on the table, "Then let's start with the night when the concubine went to Xianfu Palace, you came to bring me peach blossom cake." ”

Qinglian raised her head, "Peach blossom crisp...... Peach Blossom Crisp ...... That's because Si Yao always goes alone, goes out early and returns late every day, and there is almost no chance to be alone on weekdays. When Si Yao came back alone that day, the slave and maid came forward to say hello, hoping that Si Yao would remember me. ”

"Do you want me to remember what you do?" Bai Ling said softly, "From the Teaching Workshop Division to the Drum Room, to the Jiazi Library, and finally to this Chengqian Palace...... I originally thought you were an honest man, but I didn't expect you to have such a rising ability, and Dazhi Ruoyu played very well. ”

Qinglian gritted her teeth, but shook her head again and again, and there was already a cry in her voice, "Bai Siyao, I'...... I don't know how to tell you, I really don't have the ability to rise to the top, and I didn't even expect to be transferred to Chengqian Palace to serve in the past few years......"

Qinglian sobbed, tried her best to control her breath, and continued, "I shouldn't hide from Si Yao that Xiaolan and I have been in the Jiaofang Division for a year, but we really can't help it, since I got out of the drum room, I found that although many palace maids around me are doing the same thing as us, they are all innocent, and no matter how poor the family is, they are all petty officials." Xiaolan and I have already suffered a lot of grievances because we are subordinates from the drum room, and if we let others know that we were still guilty before we entered the drum room, we would not be able to live here at all......"

"How did you get from the Workshop Division to the Drum Room?"

Qinglian wiped her tears, sank the corners of her mouth, and said in a low voice, "We are the Jiaofang Division who was escorted into the first month of the forty-first year of Jianxi, but we met the amnesty in September. But my father's uncle's case is too big, even if we have the emperor's forgiveness, we can't get back our own crimes, and it just so happened that at that time, there was a shortage of manpower in the palace room, and Xiaolan and I didn't want to learn to laugh in the teaching workshop, so we went hard. ”

The drum room is almost the only place in the palace that is more bitter than the Huanyi Bureau.

If the 24 yamen are arranged in the order of busy and hard work, the drum room will always be the bottom job. It's okay on a sunny night, but it's even more miserable to go out at night when it's rainy. If that's just it, it's just that, but there can't be a little bias in this job, many people in the palace listen to the more drum pinch time at night, and if there is a mistake or omission, they will be severely punished at every turn, and on weekdays, the palace people who have been condemned will go to the drum room to be on duty, which is in line with the identity of the sisters of the Fang family.

"The evil monks of Donglin Temple occupied the fruit forest of our Fang family, and insisted that the land was the property of the temple a hundred years ago, my father and several uncles were angry, and went to them to reason several times, but they were beaten by their people. We reported to the official, that Jing Zhaoyin received the money from Donglin Temple, not only did not help us uphold justice, but also arrested my uncle, my father was angry and sued the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Qingtian Lord of the Metropolitan Procuratorate made us the master, and finally gave us a justice after collecting evidence. ”

"But these evil monks actually found a group of ruffians and hooligans, pretended to be my father and a few uncles, and set fire to several of their own Zen monasteries at night, saying that they had burned many people to death, and slandered us as mobs who killed people and set fires...... Just like that, the case was overturned......"

"I dream every night that my father and uncle come to me and ask me to get justice for them," Qinglian clenched her sleeves, "I have to think of a way for one day as long as I live, but then I found out that the case that the Metropolitan Procuratorate decided was an iron case, and there was no possibility of retrial...... Except for the emperor, there is no one else under the sky who can return our innocence! ”。
