When Emperor Jianxi walked out of the side hall of Chuxiu Palace, the moon was still hanging high in the sky.

Tonight's events ended sooner than he had imagined, but it didn't seem to be the ending he had hoped.

In the courtyard, Huang Chongde and Yuan Zhen, who had arranged their own errands, were already standing in front of the palace gate of Chuxiu Palace and waiting.

Jin Zhi and Lin Jieyu had been escorted away, and Bao Yuan, who had just been summoned to be arraigned, was standing in the corner with messy hair, sobbing softly.

On the other side of the gate, Bai Ling's secret guard Wei XIV stood there.

Emperor Jianxi narrowed his eyes slightly.

Lin Jieyu's accusation against Bai Ling is actually very easy to verify, because what Bai Ling said and did during this time, there is no need to interrogate at all - just ask Wei Shixi, he is Bai Ling's secret guard, and he follows this girl day and night, what will he not know?

Wei Shixi noticed that Emperor Jianxi's gaze had stayed on his body for a long time, he frowned slightly, and an ominous premonition faintly rose in his heart, "Your Majesty? ”

"Return to the Temple of Nourishing the Heart." Emperor Jianxi said softly.

On the side, Qiu Shi hurriedly walked out of Chuxiu Palace, and called loudly, "Swing the Heart Cultivation Palace-"

The moment he passed by, Emperor Jianxi glanced at Wei Shixi, "You also come with me." ”

Wei Shixi's heart suddenly lifted.

Before he could answer, Emperor Jianxi had already stepped out of the threshold.

Yuan Zhen and Huang Chongde followed, and then Bai Ling, who was escorted by two eunuchs - like Lin Jieyu who was escorted before, they still retained a little politeness to Bai Ling, did not twist her hands, but followed her closely behind, driving her to where she should go.

Wei Shixi looked at Bai Ling, who shrugged his shoulders lightly and gave him a helpless smile.

"Bai Siyao, let's go." The eunuch behind him urged, "The emperor has gone away." ”

"Okay." Bai Ling replied.

At this moment, the cat's meow sounded in the flowers, and the sound sounded terrible and sharp, which startled several people here, and then followed the sound.

At this moment, Wei Shishi felt that Bai Ling had stuffed something into the palm of his hand.

He didn't look closely, just quickly pushed it down his sleeve - it was probably a small piece of paper to the touch.

Bai Ling patted Fourteen's arm and said softly, "Let's go?" ”

"Let's go."

From Chuxiu Palace to the Heart Cultivation Palace, the walk is not too far, but tonight the road seems to be extremely long, Bai Ling and Wei Shishi were silent all the way, but they all remembered the conversation not long ago.

- What would you do if tomorrow you were sent to someone else, and that man asked you to come and kill me?

The two of them each thought back to all the things that had happened during this time, and secretly assessed which of these things might annoy the emperor - and how should these things be resolved when Emperor Jianxi asked?

After stepping out of the last stone gate of the harem, the field of vision suddenly widened, and the cornices on both sides of the Heart Cultivation Hall appeared in Bai Ling's eyes.

After stepping into the corridor of the Heart Cultivation Palace, the two eunuchs who were originally following Bai Ling and Wei Fourteen consciously stopped outside the door.

Bai Ling and Wei Shishi walked forward slowly, and she heard a low conversation between Huang Chongde and Emperor Jianxi at the end of the road.

"Fourteen." Bai Ling said softly.

"Huh?"

"The note is troublesome to Bai Yi. Let him not be in a hurry. ”

"Hmm."

"Also," Bai Ling glanced up at him, "no matter what the emperor asks you for a while, you will answer truthfully." ”

“…… Well. ”

Billing paused, then added, "I'll answer truthfully, that's the best way." ”

Wei Shixi didn't understand this—if he showed the slightest hint of deceiving the Holy Lord for Bai Ling, Emperor Jianxi would not let him live in this world anymore, and Bai Ling would also fall into an extremely dangerous situation.

It's just that...... It seems that unconsciously, Bai Ling has been caught too deep in the court struggle of the Great Zhou.

From the noble concubine to the prince, from the Song Party to the anti-Song prince, and the unidentified Ming Duke...... All parties are inextricably linked to her.

Wei Shixi glanced at Bai Ling with some concern.

- If he really told the truth, what would be the fate of Bai Ling?

With a person like her, can Emperor Jianxi tolerate it?

At this moment, a eunuch walked briskly from the front and shouted to the two, "There is a will!" ”

……

Yuantian gradually revealed the white of the fish's belly, and the Qu family in the Chengqian Palace did not sleep all night, and after Ning Concubine returned to the Xianfu Palace to change her clothes, she also hurried to the Chengqian Palace to visit.

Before entering the door, Concubine Ning saw Zheng Shu sitting in the center of the hall, giving Bao Yuan's hand a little medicine, and Qu Shi was also sitting aside.

As soon as they saw Concubine Ning, Zheng Shu and Bao Yuan both stood up and saluted, and Concubine Ning waved her hand casually, signaling them to get up.

Concubine Ning's eyes casually glanced at Bao Yuan's hand, and saw that the roots of her ten fingers were already covered with bloodstains, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised, "What's wrong?" ”

“…… Don't get in the way, don't worry. ”

"Is this still called okay?"

Zheng Shu's eyes were red, obviously crying, but she sniffed and said, "Although it looks scary, it is all flesh wounds, fortunately, Bao Yuan was re-proposed by the emperor soon after he entered the Shen Criminal Division." If you stay in it for one night and break your bones, you won't be able to save your hands. ”

Zhang Fuhai brought a chair for Ning Concubine from the side and asked Ning Concubine to sit down next to Qu.

Qu Shi looked tired, and Concubine Ning gently stroked the messy hair on her forehead, "When you're tired, go and rest for a while, right?" ”

Qu Shi didn't answer, just shook his head.

After a while, Qinglian walked in briskly from outside, and Qu immediately swept away his tired face and asked with concern, "How is it?" Is there any news from the Heart Cultivation Palace? ”

Qinglian shook her head, "The slave maid saw Gonggong Qiu, and he said that the Holy Lord was originally going to interrogate overnight, but there was a sudden urgent military matter from the northern border, so the Holy Lord first summoned several ministers who returned to Beijing overnight." ”

"What about Bai Ling?" Qu Shi hurriedly asked.

"Bai Siyao and that Lord Wei of the Jinyi Guard are now imprisoned in two places in the Heart Cultivation Palace," Qinglian replied with an uneasy face, "I should wait for the emperor to deal with the matter at hand before arraignment." ”

"Actually, the first trial is good." Concubine Ning said softly, "In this way, the things that the Lin clan has done in secret don't need us to shake off, and the emperor will naturally know from Bai Ling——"

“…… I don't care about that Lin! Qu's voice was a little higher, "I don't believe that Bai Ling will secretly communicate with the guards of the Left Guard Battalion, she is definitely not that kind of person." ”

"Moon Shadow, don't put any more hope, stretching your hand into the left guard camp of the Holy One would have been a death. It's good that she doesn't implicate you, if you want to get her at this time, have you ever thought about what consequences it will bring you? Her biggest role now is not to let go of the matter on the Lin side before the ambush, we can promise her and settle her family-"

"Go back and rest." Qu's voice was a little indifferent, "Atuo still needs you to take care of it, don't stay here with me." ”

Concubine Ning was stunned, it was the first time she had seen Qu Shi show such an impatient expression to herself after so many years.

"You...... Are you trying to drive me away? Concubine Ning's voice trembled slightly, and she looked at Qu Shi in disbelief, "Just for...... For one, a descendant who has only been in the palace for more than a month? ”
