Chapter Eighty-Five: Identity Geometry
The bustard dropped this sentence and quickly left.
After a while, a turtle paw brought a bottle of autumn pear paste, and without saying who it was for, he put it directly on the table closest to the door.
But this time, no one dared to grab it again.
Bai Ling didn't pay any attention to this, she was already curled up on the small bed in the innermost part of the room and closed her eyes.
Ai Songqing sat on the small wooden bed next to Bai Ling, and just as she was undressing and preparing to lie down, she suddenly felt a shadow cast down.
When she looked up, it turned out that Ai Qian was standing in front of her.
Ai Songqing was stunned for a moment.
Ai Qian looked sideways at Bai Ling, who was close to her—Bai Ling was clutching the corners of the quilt with both hands, and her whole face was covered under the quilt, looking like she was asleep.
"Come here." Ai Qian said softly.
Ai Qingsong endured the sleepiness, got up and followed Ai Qian to the other end of the room, where several girls were standing there with their arms in their arms and waiting, with curiosity and worry on their faces—one of them was the girl who had gone to the forest house with Bai Ling and them last night.
"What the hell did you do last night?" Ai Qian asked with a frown.
"Let's go to a house in the south of the city—"
"We already know that." Ai Qian interrupted, "What else? ”
"Yes, what about the future," said the girl who had returned with them this morning, "and what about last night when Bai Ling volunteered to stay, and then?" Did you meet anyone in that garden? ”
"People?" Ai Songqing was a little puzzled, "In that courtyard, there is only the coffin—"
"It's the living who ask!" Ai Qian interrupted impatiently, "Has anyone ever visited you and spoken to you or that Bai Ling?" ”
Ai Songqing shook his head.
"Think again?" Ai Qian prompted, "Like a man in a black robe...... And so on? ”
This time, Ai Songqing did think about it carefully, but after a while, she still shook her head and said, "We have been singing in the garden...... The old housekeeper of the Lin family who sang until dawn—"
"Alright." Ai Qian interrupted her with some annoyance, she turned to look at the other people nearby, "I said it a long time ago, it's useless to ask her." ”
Ai Songqing was also a little puzzled for a while, "What do you want to ask?" When Bai Ling wakes up, you can ask Bai Ling directly. ”
Ai Qian's eyes widened, "Huh." ”
“…… What's wrong? ”
"Ask Bai Ling directly......" Ai Qian laughed, she reached out and stroked the messy hair around Ai Songqing's ears, with a bit of ridicule in the smile on her face, "We just went to the pear orchard to learn drama for two days, and we became good sisters?" ”
After this conversation, Ai Songqing was really aroused, and she clenched her palms slightly, "You...... You don't want to be weird here—"
"Anyway, you'd better stay away from that Bai Ling," the smile on Ai Qian's face suddenly became gloomy, she leaned over and her voice was a little softer, "Do you know what happened to Baihuaya last night?" ”
Ai Songqing didn't speak, but his eyes became a little puzzled.
"The Jinyi Guard has come to arrest someone." Ai Qian said with a smile, "I went to the pear orchard where you lived first, and knowing that you were leaving, I went to the forest house in the south of the city." ”
Ai Songqing shivered.
Brocade...... Jinyi Wei ......
"yes." The girl next to Ai Qian nodded, "At that time, we were waiting in the courtyard outside, and we saw a man in a black robe with a group of brocade guards coming over and asking what the two of you were doing inside, and then brought people over - didn't you really see it?" ”
"There really is no ......" Ai Songqing was a little helpless, she still wanted to justify something, suddenly remembered the inexplicable eyes she encountered when she came back this morning, and suddenly understood why so many people's eyes fell on these girls who came back from the forest house.
“…… Last night, was it a big fuss? ”
"Big, how can it not be big?" Ai Qian replied, "As soon as Jinyiwei left, Bustard Niang personally came over and carefully interrogated the identities of the six of you...... Along the way, everyone has more or less met each other, but there is only this Bai Ling, and no one can tell her origin. ”
Hearing this, Ai Songqing finally faintly sensed Ai Qian's purpose of calling him over to speak.
She didn't want to listen to it anymore, so she asked in a low voice, "...... So what. ”
"So what? It's all now, and you're still asking me, so what? Ai Qian laughed out loud and narrowed her eyes slightly, "All the people who are involved with Jinyiwei, what good end can they have?" We're different from her, and even though we're here now, we'll still have a chance to get out in mid-May...... It's up to you to choose. ”
Ai Qian's words came to an abrupt end at this point - she waited for Ai Songqing to ask, and then little by little threw out the news she had heard by chance last night.
Now everyone is curious about the identity of this Bai Ling, some people say that she is the illegitimate daughter of the king of which state capital, some people say that she is the disobedient concubine of a nobleman, and some people are rumored that this Bai Ling is a medicine who died in Jian'an Lake some time ago - after all, both of them are called Bai Ling.
But most people have never even seen the face of "Bai Ling" in this hundred flowers, so no one can make a conclusion.
As for Bai Ling's true identity, it is impossible to get an answer to this kind of question directly to him, not to mention that Ai Qian also had a holiday with Bai Ling because of that broken comb.
But in the past few days, Ai Songqing has been with Bai Ling almost every day, and the two have been very close.
It is naturally better to let Songqing come to the side to knock on the side.
However, what Ai Qian didn't expect was that Ai Songqing didn't ask any questions.
She lowered her eyes and sighed, then shook her head, "I'm sleepy, sister, let's talk about it later." ”
With that, Ai Songqing turned around and walked towards his bed
Ai Qian was stunned for a moment, she stepped forward and grabbed Ai Songqing's arm, "Wait! Don't you want to know how to get out of here then? ”
Ai Songqing glanced at her and laughed in a low voice, "Maybe...... It's not a good opportunity. ”
……
At dusk, the sunset shone in through the window, and half of the quilt on Bai Ling's body had already slipped to the ground.
She didn't sleep very comfortably this day, her throat hurt all the time, and her mind was always in a tense state because of the long and chaotic dreams that had been streaming in her mind.
At the end of a nightmare, Bai Ling suddenly opened her eyes, and she covered her heart with a gasp, slowly calming down in the golden sunset.
The room in front of me was empty.
The others didn't know what to do......
In the silence, Bai Ling quietly descended and walked barefoot to the door of the house—she heard the footsteps of the turtle paw patrolling downstairs.
Bai Ling was a little surprised, she turned back and forth again, and quickly determined the matter: yes, there was really no one else on this floor of the top floor now, only herself.
Bai Ling walked slowly to the top of the staircase, where she had noticed a rusty iron ladder on the stairs this morning.
It was too dark, and she watched the direction of the ladder for a while, but before she could see why, Songqing called out to her.
Thinking so, Bai Ling was already standing in front of the iron ladder covered with red rust.
