Walking from the palace gate to Qinyuan, the straight-line distance is actually not far. However, there are many palace walls and courtyards in the middle that are inconvenient for outsiders to step into, and the distance under your feet is almost enough to walk the entire palace back and forth.

The closer you get to the Qinyuan area, the sparser the people become. The location of Qinyuan is really remote, and no matter where you go, if you want to pass through Qinyuan, you will almost always take a detour, so few palace people will come here on weekdays - unless they are here specifically for something.

For example, Yuan Zhen, such as Bao Yuan.

However, how many people living in the palace can have such luxurious leisure.

In the distance, Bai Ling saw the large iron gate of Qinyuan open, the iron fence that had been tied up by heavy iron chains in the past lay on one side of the road, and the rusty iron gate had been tied with fine barbed wire, and behind the door, there was a courtyard that had been renovated.

The cattery in the palace was built here, and it was run by Yuan Zhen these days.

After Bai Ling stepped into the iron gate, the palace people who sent her stood outside the door and no longer followed inside.

There doesn't seem to be anyone in the cattery at the moment.

Bai Ling glanced back, and the palace people behind him had closed the iron door again.

She stood at the entrance, looking around the courtyard in front of her—there was only one bungalow, and the terrain wasn't too complicated. All the branches that had reached into the yard had been cut off, and wooden rollers were fixed to the walls on all sides. Even if the cat is strong, it is okay to jump up to the height of the wall with the help of the stone platform and tree stump in the courtyard, or climb slowly along the creeper on the wall.

Whenever they want to climb over the wall, as soon as their paws touch the roller, the roller will immediately flip, causing the cat to fall off again. And in the middle of the yard is a straw-tied straw mound, on which are inserted colorful flags with peacock tail feathers - isn't this a cat teasing stick?

Bai Ling looked thoughtfully at this circle of furnishings, and could see that Yuan Zhen was practical.

A tanuki cat walked slowly past Bai Ling, then rolled and sank into the knee-high grass on the edge of the garden. The round cat walked in the grass, and everywhere it went, it walked to the south wall, and suddenly there was no movement.

Bai Ling watched the whole time - this is probably another kind of cage?

But the cat doesn't seem to care too much.

The south wall was covered with turquoise creepers, and Bai Ling saw that there was an old wooden door there, and he didn't know where it led to the courtyard.

She stood there for a long time, and finally picked up the hem of her clothes and walked briskly towards the bungalow to the east.

……

Yuan Zhen was indeed waiting in the bungalow to the east.

As soon as she heard the footsteps, Yuan Zhen, who had been closing her eyes and recuperating, opened her eyes, Bai Ling had already entered the house, and she nodded to Yuan Zhen from afar.

Yuan Zhen put down the coiled retreat, got up from the seat, and made an inviting gesture to Bai Ling.

Bai Ling sat at the table in the middle of the bungalow, where there was tea soup, Bai Ling glanced at it, but did not touch it.

Yuan Zhen also walked to the round table and sat down.

"Then, open the skylight and speak brightly, Bai Siyao." Yuan Zhen's eyes were half-down, and there were no ups and downs in his voice, "What are you going to do?" ”

Bai Ling lowered his eyes and smiled, "Don't worry, what excuse Gonggong Yuan used to summon me into the palace this time, I didn't understand...... What's the matter with me in the cattery in Qinyuan, and how can I help? If someone asks in the future, how can I fulfill this lie? ”

"It's worthy of a cypress medicine, and it's always leaky when it comes to thinking about things." Yuan Zhen got up and took out a book from the bookcase on the side and threw it in front of Bai Ling, "I've been idle these days anyway, so I made an appointment here to meet with the palace maids of the various palaces and ask about the nuisance of raccoon slaves at night. When I asked about Chengqian Palace, there were some questions that Zheng Shu couldn't answer, so she asked me to summon Si Yao into the palace. ”

Bai Ling was stunned - she really didn't expect this reason.

So she immediately lowered her head and opened the book in front of her, and just swept through the pages quickly, and sure enough, she saw the interrogation records in the book.

She swept over the front part at a glance, and Bai Ling's fingertips flew quickly, and she quickly found the part of Chengqian Palace.

The text on this page is divided into two paragraphs, with Zheng Shu's answer on the top and hers on the bottom—although she has only just read Yuan Zhen's question at the moment, her answer has already been written on it.

Bai Ling glanced at it briefly, and there was nothing wrong with the answer itself. She silently recited it several times in her heart, and roughly memorized these lines that Yuan Zhen had arranged in advance.

Yuan Zhen silently looked at Bai Ling's expression, knowing that she had already understood, he chuckled lightly and returned to his usual cold expression.

After a while, Bai Lingcai looked up again, and she closed the book.

"It's worthy of Gonggong Yuan...... I should say this, and the things you handle are the real watertights. ”

The corners of Yuan Zhen's mouth lifted briskly, revealing a standard Yuan smirk.

"So," Bai Ling pushed the book back in front of Yuan Zhen and began to cut to the point, "what is Jia Yuchun's reaction?" ”

After Yuan Zhen described the conversation between himself and Jia Yuchun in the morning, Bai Ling's original frowning brow had already loosened.

"Is that all?" Bai Ling asked in a low voice.

"That's all." Yuan Zhen looked at Bai Ling's expression, "What's the matter, Si Yao is unexpected?" ”

Boling did not answer.

Just because of a snuffbox printed with roses, Jia Yuchun can be so messy.

She laughed softly, lowered her head and took out a stack of thick letters sealed with wax from her sleeve, and silently pushed it in front of Yuan Zhen.

Yuan Zhen glanced at it, "What is this?" ”

"It's the documents and letters I forged," Bai Ling said softly, "It tells a story about Lin Jieyu's life experience, and I beg my father-in-law to hand it over to Father-in-law Jia in three days." ”

Yuan Zhen's hand slowly covered the thick letter, "Life experience? ”

"It's a long story." Bai Ling said softly, her body leaned forward slightly towards Yuan Zhen, "I'll roughly summarize it with my father-in-law......

……

When he went out again, Yuan Zhen personally sent Bai Ling out, and both of them had a little indifference on their faces.

The palace people waiting outside bent down when they saw Yuan Zhen.

"Back to the celebrant." Yuan Zhen commanded in a low voice, he took a few steps forward, and then stopped to look back, "Also send Bai Si Yao out of the palace." ”

"No need." Bai Ling said softly, "Anyway, I've entered the palace, I'll go to Chengqian Palace to visit Niangniang." ”

"Then ...... With the medicine of the stool. Yuan Zhen's voice was slight, with a bit of incomprehensible alienation.

Yuan Zhen stepped out of the iron gate of Qinyuan first, and Bai Ling followed closely behind, but for a moment, she seemed to hear a strange noise coming from behind diagonally. Bai Ling almost immediately stopped, and turned to look in the direction where the voice had just come from.

On the south wall of Qinyuan, there is only the sound of the wind blowing through the creeper.

Did you hear it wrong?

"What else is Si Yao doing there?"

Yuan Zhen's voice came from outside, and Bai Ling withdrew his gaze and lowered his head and walked out.

“…… It's nothing. Bai Ling replied.

Maybe it's the tanuki cat just now.
