Chapter 82: It's the Night Lamp
When he carried the small wooden table back to Chengqian Palace, Bai Ling had already finished reading the words he brought out in the morning.
Stepping into the palace gate of Chengqian Palace, Bai Ling saw that the main hall of the concubine was still lit, she stopped there and watched for a while, and the young man's words were still echoing in her ears during the day.
Bai Ling's mood was quite complicated. She suddenly felt that the palace wall here was like a prison for the concubine, but it had not been protecting her and preventing her from the malicious barriers of the outside world.
"Coming back?" In the main hall, Zheng Shu walked out, and the palace people had already brought the news of Bai Ling's return to Qu's side, and Zheng Shu came out to pick it up when she heard the words, "Ask someone to take it for you first, Niang Niang called you, come in." β
As he spoke, the two palace maids were about to come over to pick up Bai Ling's burden.
Bai Ling hugged the small wooden table in his arms tighter, and smiled, "No need, I'll come by myself in a while." By the way, Granny Shu, do we have any good wine in the palace? β
"Wine?" Zheng Shu was surprised, "You want to drink?" β
"It's not." Bai Ling shook his head, "Anyway...... There's a use for me. β
Zheng Shu didn't ask again, nodded directly, "Yes, you go into the house first, I'll help you get it." β
Bai Ling thanked him repeatedly, and then put the small wooden table on the side of the steps outside the hall, and entered the house with his baggage.
I saw that Bao Yuan and Qu Shi were waiting inside, and when they saw Bai Ling coming in, they didn't speak, they just stared at her and smiled.
"Whatever...... Look at me like this. Bai Ling stopped there when she entered, and she touched her face, "Is there anything dirty on my face?" β
"No, I just have something to ask you." Bao Yuan smiled and beckoned to Bai Ling, "Come here!" β
Bai Ling approached, only to find that she was holding the mindfulness instruction she had given to Qu Shi yesterday.
"What the hell is this?" Bao Yuan smiled and stuffed the mindfulness instruction into Bai Ling's hand, "What 'feel your breath', 'put your attention on your right hand', 'be aware of the thoughts in your head'...... So it's mysterious, I practiced this with my mother today, and I fell asleep several times halfway! β
"If you fall asleep while practicing, it means that you are not practicing correctly." Qu Shi smiled faintly on the side, and looked at Bai Ling again as he spoke, "Isn't it?" β
"Mother is right." Bai Ling replied with a smile, "It seems that you remember all the things that taught Niangniang yesterday." β
"Listen to this kind of thing, how can you not fall asleep!" Bao Yuan tilted his head, "Anyway, today, I have to listen to Bai Ling talk about what is the use of Niangniang practicing this." β
Bai Ling took the piece of paper with the instructions written on it, and found that the handwriting on it was all newβpresumably Bao Yuan had transcribed it again for the convenience of Qu's reading.
"Didn't I teach you a special lesson when I first came here?" Bai Ling also raised his head, "What did you say when you specially pulled Sister Baoyuan inside, did you forget?" β
Bao Yuan was stunned, as if he had been thinking for a long time, and then he smiled a little embarrassedly, "At that time, when I saw that this thing was not a serious prescription, I thought you were writing something to deal with it, so I didn't listen carefully...... Tell me about it. β
When Qu Shi heard this, he also sighed softly, "Let's talk about it, I'll listen to it again, this afternoon, this afternoon, this palace also has a lot of questions to ask......
"It's okay to talk," Bai Ling looked at Bao Yuan, "But I won't talk in vain, since you have listened, then you will have to practice with Niangniang in the future, can this be done?" β
"Yes!" Bao Yuan replied immediately.
"Alright, I'll tell you againβ"
"Wait!" Bao Yuan smiled again, "Let's wait for Granny Shu to come back, we have been discussing together for an afternoon, and she also wants to know what this mindfulness exercise is." β
The three of them waited in the room, talking, and let the maid come in and add a few more night lights.
The palace people who were keeping vigil in the courtyard couldn't help but be a little surprised when they looked at the light shining from the main hall.
A girl gently poked the maid who was on duty next to her, "Look at the light is on tonight...... Don't you think these candles are dazzling at this time? β
The maid who was already sleepy and about to doze off woke up suddenly, frowned, and said, "Shut up, you, the concubine doesn't use your lamp oil...... If you are heard saying this behind your master, I will be beaten with you!" β
The girl stumbled, yawned and looked upβit was almost the middle of the moon, and the moon in the sky was rounding up again.
β¦β¦
In the dead of night, the lights of Chuxiu Palace are still on.
At this time in the past, Lin Jieyu must have fallen asleep, but today she was still sitting outside with a soft pillow and yawning.
After a while, the maid with the famous "Golden Branch" ran in with a smile, "Niangniang, Father-in-law Jia is here." β
Lin Jieyu didn't have any joy on her face, her long eyelashes moved slightly, she raised her eyebrows and looked at the door, Jia Yuchun really staggered.
Seeing Lin Jieyu with a cold beautiful face, Jia Yuchun was really coaxed, so she barely made Lin Jieyu smile.
Jia Yuchun started his miserable sale bitterly, talking about being beaten by Huang Gonggong yesterday and being interrogated by Bai Ling today - as if suddenly, everyone began to target him, so he had to be careful.
That's why I didn't dare to come here quietly today.
Lin Jieyu snorted perfunctorily, and said softly, "Father-in-law's errand is more difficult now than before, I understand...... But it's hard for me. β
As she spoke, she pushed a few pieces of paper on the table to Jia Yuchun's side.
"Let my father-in-law help me to check the bottom of the Bai Ling family, it's been two days."
Jia Yuchun nodded, "Yes." β
"But father-in-law, look at the news you sent in the past two days...... Lin Jieyu frowned lightly, "None of them can be used." Could it be that this Bai Shijun is a saint, so he doesn't have the slightest handle? β
"Niangniang, you are embarrassed slaves." Jia Yuchun's face was helpless, "What you ordered, the slave and maid really didn't dare to delay at all." β
"I believe in you, I believe in you." Lin Jieyu laughed again, "But I don't believe that there are perfect good people in this world." I specially called my father-in-law here today, just to ask again in person, think about it, their Bai family has never made any enemies? Haven't you ever had a personal grudge or two? β
Jia Yuchun frowned after hearing this, muttered for a long time, and suddenly seemed to remember something, "Hey, Niangniang, do you still remember an attempted murder case that happened in Beijing a few years ago?" β
Lin Jieyu raised her eyes and recalled, and replied slowly, "I remember, I remember, it's the forty-first year of Jianxi, when two Jinyi guards died, and the entire Pingjing was curfew for three months, which has been four years...... How? β
Jia Yuchun didn't speak, but a smile slowly appeared on his face, looking at Lin Jieyu.
Lin Jieyu's eyes lit up, "Could it be that family is ......?"
