"Hey, hey." The old man didn't answer, he had stopped at this time, and half-turned, "It's here." ”

He looked down again and picked up a key from his waist, and quickly opened the iron door. This showroom is different from the others, and it seems to be divided into separate cubicles according to the courtyards of the harem, and the bookshelves in it are lower than those elsewhere.

Before walking to a certain compartment, the old man stretched out his hand to Bai Ling, who looked at his palm and thought for a moment before he reacted and handed over the key in his hand.

This key is not used to open any cabinet as Bao Yuan said, but to open the iron door of the compartment of the Chengqian Palace...... In this way, even Bao Yuan has never been here.

The old man lit the torch high above the wall with a candle, "It's almost here, don't go in, you want to see someone's papers, tell me, I'll get it." ”

"Can't I go in with my husband and have a look?" Bai Ling said softly, "Maybe looking at some of the names on the display shelves is enlightening in itself. ”

"No, it's the rule." The old man replied, and he looked at Bai Ling, "Say, what do you want to see?" ”

Bai Ling was just about to speak, when he suddenly remembered what happened to Fourteen not long ago, and couldn't help asking, "...... Whose books I have read here today will be recorded for the day to come, shall I? ”

"Of course." The old man replied as he should.

"Can I check everyone's books?"

"Nope." The old man raised his eyebrows slightly, "This is not in line with the message sent." ”

Bai Ling looked at the dim compartment in front of him and thought for a moment, "...... The current palace maids of Chengqian Palace, including the two directors, are a total of seventeen people. I'm going to check the files of all seventeen people, and I'm tired of my husband. ”

The old man let out a "hey-hey" laugh again, and the sound showed a strange cuteness in the dark underground.

……

When Bai Ling stepped out of the ground, she found that it was the dawn of the second day, and a white glow like a fish's belly was floating in the east in the distance. Wei Shixi, with his hands in his arms, did not hide in the dark as usual, but leaned unhindered under a big tree in the outer courtyard.

He closed his eyes, breathed evenly, and seemed to be resting.

Bai Ling watched from afar.

Can you sleep while standing?

Before she left the Chengqian Palace yesterday morning, she left a note addressed to Wei 14 on her desk, with six characters written on the Department of Archives of the Internal Affairs Office. I think Fourteen should have come here to wait for her after reading it.

…… Did you wait all night?

Several palace people beside him passed by, and when they passed by the Fourteenth Land, they all bowed their heads and shouted in a low voice to Wei Fourteen, "Fourteenth Master." ”

Wei XIV's eyes were half-open.

Bai Ling sighed softly, was he still woken up?

She carried the hem of her clothes and walked down the steps outside the Book Division, and Wei 14 also raised her eyes at this time to see Bai Ling.

"Early." Wei Fourteen said softly.

"Morning," Bai Ling smiled apologetically, "how long have you been waiting here?" ”

"It didn't take long for me to come back this morning and see the note you left in the East Side Temple, so I came over."

Bai Ling's eyes were slightly startled, "...... this morning?" ”

"Hmm." Wei XIV replied, "Talking while walking? ”

"Okay."

After spending the whole night underground, it wasn't until the moment he walked on the ground that Bai Ling really felt a little tired. This feeling of staying up late is not new to her, but if you consider that your body is only eleven years old and you can't guarantee sleep, will you not grow taller in the future?

On the way out of the Internal Affairs Mansion, almost every palace person passing by stopped their steps, bowed their heads respectfully to Wei Shishi, and called "Fourteen Masters". Seeing that Fourteen seemed to be very familiar with the people here, Bai Ling was a little surprised at first, and then quickly figured out that since this layer was stored in the Archives Division, it was the original of all the archives and files, so when the Beizhen Fu Division needed to retrieve materials, it was natural that he would have to go through this experience.

Wei XIV probably frequented here.

When there was no one around, Bai Ling raised his head, "Watch and see these days...... What do you think of this kid? ”

"This kid ...... It's a good seedling indeed. Wei Shixi's right hand held the double blade on his waist, and he walked slowly with Bai Ling on the unmanned road, "Although the team he led was wild, it could still be seen that some thought had been put into the arrangement of personnel...... Being able to pull up a team in a place like Chaotian Street is quite unexpected in itself. How did you find him? ”

"I rarely see Bai Yi persuade anyone like that, after all, in the past few years when I was bored at home, he didn't force me to learn anything or do anything...... So I guess Ah Li, this kid, is probably really talented. Bai Ling smiled and said, "Since Fourteen also thinks that he has potential, then we should be able to take the next step, my idea is that we can talk to him first"

Wei Fourteen looked sideways at Bai Ling and added softly, "We don't have to worry about this anymore. The three academies and six offices under the Department of Teaching, except for the two in the palace, he will start to visit the rest. ”

Bai Ling was slightly stunned, "...... So fast? ”

"Hmm. He was arrested yesterday afternoon for picking quarrels and provoking trouble. Fourteen briefly talked to Bai Ling about the rumors about Xiaoman outside the palace in the past few days, as well as Ah Li's attempt to suppress rumors with violence, which made Bai Ling sigh for a while.

"That is ...... from now"

"People are all right." Wei Shixi said in a low voice, "After I came out, I had a deep talk with him, and I haven't mentioned to him that this is to Chalin Jieyu." But he should be able to guess. ”

"Is he in the right state to do this?" Bai Ling spoke with some suspicion.

"Hatred can sometimes make people lose their minds, but sometimes it can also make people completely calm." Wei Shixi looked at the distant sky, "There is no one more suitable to do this now. ”

……

Bai Ling returned to the Chengqian Palace with a heart, Qinglian Chulan and Rouge had already gotten up at this time, and they were continuing today's work in the place where they read and wrote yesterday.

Bai Ling didn't return last night, Qinglian and Chu Lan waited until the second half of the night, and today they got up early on time, and both of them yawned for days. But at this time, when he saw Bai Siyao returning, he still greeted him with a bright eye.

"Where was Si Yao last night?"

Bai Ling glanced at Rouge, who was still sitting at the table unmoved, and replied softly, "Pray for incense in the Imperial Garden." ”

"It's ...... Pray all night? Qinglian and Chu Lan's eyes widened.

Bai Ling lowered his eyes and smiled, "Sometimes when you encounter an emergency, you have to extend the time limit...... You don't understand it yet. ”

Although Qinglian was puzzled, since Bai Ling had already spoken like this, it was inconvenient for her to ask more. She turned around and straightened out the manuscript she had put together the previous day, handing it all over to Bai Ling.

Bai Ling took the manuscript and said, "I'll take a look at ............."

"The handouts given by Bai Siyao have been transcribed, what should Chu Lan do next?" Qinglian asked, "Is it the same as Sister Rouge to make a synopsis of the script?" ”

"Hmm...... Not for now. Bai Ling said softly, and then quickly looked away from the manuscript, and looked at Qinglian with a bit of scrutiny, "Chu Lan is going to rest outside for a while now, you come in with me, I have something to ask you." ”。
