But Bai Ling had already continued, she looked away, and said softly, "If I deliberately cover up, it means that I am a member of the same party, but in fact, I have just entered the palace and I don't know anyone."

"So of course I'm going to be honest, don't you think?"

The boy folded his arms in displeasure.

The truth is indeed the truth, but I always feel that this girl's attitude is a little unpleasant.

He thought for a while, took a step forward, and said coldly, "Then if someone asks about you, have you ever seen me, what would you say?" ”

"Then I'll say... There was a young man who claimed to be a royal guard, and his eyes were blinded by the wind and sand, so he rested in the rockery for a while. Bai Ling said softly, "That's probably the case. ”

The young man took a deep breath, reached out and stroked the hem of his clothes, then looked away and nodded, "Yes, it's okay to say so, you don't need to mention that wind and sand are blind, just say that I am resting in the rockery." ”

Not far away, there was a jumble of footsteps. The boy looked in the direction of the sound with great acuteness.

"Don't forget what you said!"

After dropping this sentence, he took a few steps back and disappeared into the rockery of the rockery.

Bai Ling also looked to the other end.

I saw Bao Yuan hurriedly running over with a few familiar palace maids, and as soon as they met, Bao Yuan grabbed Bai Ling's hand and said in a low voice, "Bai Ling!" Have you seen the mother! ”

"Mother?" Bai Ling's eyes condensed slightly, "Isn't she resting in the palace?" ”

"She didn't come here to look for you?"

"Nope." Bai Ling shook his head.

"Don't lie to me! Mother, did she come to see you again like the day before yesterday! ”

"Not really." Bai Ling shook Bao Yuan's hand, "You calm down." What's wrong, the mother is missing? ”

Hearing Bai Ling's answer, Bao Yuan's last hope was extinguished.

"It's over...... It's over......" The last bit of blood on Bao Yuan's face was gone, and her teeth began to chatter, and she could barely stand for a while.

Bai Ling held her with one hand.

"Take a deep breath." Bai Ling directly made a calm guide, she looked into Bao Yuan's eyes, "Take a deep breath, inhale-exhale-"

About six or seven rounds passed. Bao Yuan's eyes finally regained their brightness. But tears also fell in large numbers.

"The mother is gone! The mother is gone! What to do! What to do! Her voice was fast and soft, almost completely panicked.

"Have you sent someone to search for it thoroughly?"

Bao Yuan was stunned and shook his head violently, "It's still ...... No. ”

"Why don't you look for it?"

Bao Yuan looked at Bai Ling. "The second master said that he couldn't make a noise, in case Niangniang went to find a short sight again and alarmed the previous dynasty, she would make a fuss all over the city again——"

Bai Ling couldn't react a little, "Second master? Qu Xiu? Why is he in the palace again? ”

"That's it, it's like this......"

Bao Yuan's throat moistened with difficulty, and his voice was extremely bitter.

"In the morning, the second master came to the palace and specially mentioned the matter of the little prince's upbringing to the mother. The old lady and he seemed to be very insistent that they should take the child back to the palace in the past two days to take care of it personally, and then ...... Then the two of them quarreled - no, it wasn't a quarrel, the mother just didn't say a word, it was the second master who was yelling there alone......"

Bao Yuanyuan described the morning scene upside down.

In fact, there is no need for her to say anything more.

How Qu Xiu would jump hysterically in front of Qu Shi was almost effortless to imagine.

"And then?"

Bao Yuan anxiously recalled, "Niangniang asked the second master to stay in the palace for breakfast, and then told us that she had something to say to the second master alone, so none of us should follow." And then ...... So the two of them went to the Imperial Garden together. ”

"Imperial Garden?" Bai Ling asked, "I haven't seen Niangniang here." ”

Bao Yuan almost cried, "That's why I'm in a hurry, because the second master will come back alone!"

He said that Niangniang said that she wanted to go out of Gong, so she walked alone to the nearest thatched house, and then disappeared again! The second master also said that Niangniang's matter is very serious, let's not make a noise for now, and quickly find all the places that Niangniang usually goes to——"

"Don't listen to him, send someone to look for it immediately!" Bai Ling helped Bao Yuan to stand up, "If Niangniang really went to find a short-term view, no matter what the result is, she will make a storm in the city, and if she finds it, she can still be saved, if she hides it like this, let it happen in the end - what should I do?" ”

Bao Yuan was awakened by this sentence in an instant.

Yes, why did she care about the wind and rain of the previous dynasty?

The spittle of those officials is all added together, what does it have to do with her?

She just wants her mother to live! As long as the mother is alive, it's good!

Bai Ling said in a deep voice, "In this way, you go and notify the people in the palace to conduct a search, and I will go back to the Chengqian Palace now and wait for your news, okay?" ”

Bao Yuan took a few deep breaths again, looked at Bai Ling with some gratitude, and then took a few steps back, and ran out.

"Listen, listen, I'll go to the chief of the guard to search the palace now; You, go and inform Concubine Ning of this; You, immediately pass the news forward, go to Gonggong Huang, and let him have an idea! ”

As the voice of the treasure duck faded away, the people dispersed in an instant.

Bai Ling heard his heart pounding.

She circled the rockery a few times, and after making sure that the young man was no longer here, she looked up at the sky on all sides and learned a few lark calls.

After a light landing sound, Wei Shishi fell on the rockery from somewhere.

Bai Ling looked up, "Do you know where the concubine is now?" ”

Wei Fourteen shook his head, "But you can find it." ”

"Then please! I'll go back to Chengqian Palace first and wait for news. ”

Wei 14 nodded, and the two immediately parted ways.

Bai Ling carried the hem of his skirt, didn't take anything, and went straight to Chengqian Palace.

After thousands of calculations, it was not calculated that Qu Xiu would enter the palace again at this time.

I didn't expect him to ignore the concubine's death a few days ago, and at this time, he suddenly proposed that he had to take the child over.

What the hell is he trying to do!

……

It's almost noon.

At this time, the sky began to change slightly, and although the sky was still clear overhead, dark clouds could already be seen gathering in the distance.

At this time, there was already a lot of silence in the Chengqian Palace, except for a small number of people who followed Bao Yuan to look for people outside, everyone knelt in the courtyard without a master, waiting for the news from Bao Yuan.

Zheng Shu stood in front of the courtyard and paced back and forth.

Qu Xiu's eyes were straight, and Mu sat on the stone steps at the door of the house in a daze, his whole body like a walking corpse.

Suddenly, everyone heard footsteps outside, and they couldn't help but look up—Bai Ling appeared at the gate of the palace.

Seeing that the person who came was not a treasure duck that went out to find people, people's eyes that were originally full of anticipation dimmed again.

"Why are you back at this time?" Zheng Shu stepped forward and asked, her eyes still looking behind Bai Ling with some hope.

But the corridor outside the palace is still empty.

"I met Sister Bao Yuan in the Imperial Garden, and she told me about it, so I'll come back and take a look first." Bai Ling said softly, "It seems that there is still no whereabouts of Niangniang?" ”

Zheng Shu was so anxious that she almost burst into tears, but she could only shake her head.

"Mother-in-law, don't worry, Bao Yuan went to find the chief of the guard, and also informed Concubine Ning and the emperor, the palace is such a big place, Niangniang will definitely be able to find it-"

Qu Xiu, who was originally silent, heard this and jumped up almost immediately.

His eyes were bulging, and the blue veins on his forehead were on display, and he was almost crazy.

"Who allowed you, go and tell the emperor!"
