Chapter 208: With Whom Did You Have a Private Meeting?
In Chuxiu Palace, the beauty was sleepless late at night, with a little smile on her face, "Bai Ling is going to Donglin Temple?" ”
"Yes."
"What else did that man say?"
She also asked if Niangniang had revealed any flaws the day before yesterday and let Bai Ling catch her. Jin Zhi raised his eyebrows, "I scolded her and asked her to recognize her identity, what did Niang Niang say is what she can ask?" ”
Lin Jieyu listened to it happily, her shoulders shrugged slightly, and she shook her head and said, "Bai Ling is going to Donglin Temple, so I'll go to Donglin Temple, it's just that I came over and knew that I have to go up the mountain to incense every month, so I have to take a look, what's so scary?" ”
"By the way," said Jin Zhi suddenly, "she also said that Bai Ling had not returned the night before...... He said he was praying for incense in the Imperial Garden, but what he did was really suspicious. I'm still investigating, and I'll send someone to inform us when I find out. ”
Lin Jieyu gently held her forehead with two fingers, and gently spit out a sentence in her mouth, "I haven't returned overnight, ......"
"Yes, Zheng Shu and Bao Yuan didn't ask all night, they should have known her whereabouts in advance." Speaking of this, Jin Zhi suddenly seemed to remember something, kneeling and moving in the direction of Lin Jieyu, "Speaking of this, the slave heard a message today......
Lin Jieyu raised her eyes slightly and looked at the golden branch.
"Someone said to the slave maid that someone always saw a person who looked like a guard in the imperial garden, and he had been wandering around the place where Bai Ling prayed for incense." Jin Zhi said in a very soft voice, "And more than once, just behind the rockery in the Imperial Garden. ”
"Yes." Lin Jieyu's tone was indifferent, and she didn't seem to take this matter to heart at all.
"Niangniang, it's true," Jin Zhi said, "Today, the slave maid also heard from that person, before seeing the Anhu Flower Viewing Party, he saw with his own eyes that the guard and Bai Ling talking behind the rockery in the Imperial Garden, and the two talked for a long time, and it seemed that they were old acquaintances." ”
Lin Jieyu's gaze drifted over, "...... And who saw such a thing? ”
"It's the little eunuch Bai Gu next to Jia Yuchun's father-in-law, the one who invited Ann with his mother in Fuchen Hall a few days ago." Jin Zhi reminded.
"Oh, he's there." Lin Jieyu lowered her eyes and thought for a while, "This person has not been in the palace for a long time, and what he says may not be credible." ”
Jin Zhi hurriedly echoed, "The slave maid originally thought so, but the details he said were too true, and the slave maid felt that she had to talk to her mother." ”
Lin Jieyu raised her hand and gently brushed her nails, "What else did he say?" ”
"When he originally told the slave and maid that there were guards going to the imperial garden to squat, the slave and maid asked him, how long have you been in the palace and how many people do you know? How do you know it's a guard? As a result, he told the slave maid that the man was wearing an embroidered spring knife and a Luan spring belt around his waist, but he was not wearing a flying fish suit, but a crimson round-necked robe, which was worn by the palace attendants. ”
Lin Jieyu's gaze really fell on Jin Zhi, "...... What else? ”
"It's about the reputation of the inner court, and the slave doesn't dare to believe him because of one or two words he says. When he first told the slave and maid this, the slave and maid didn't take it to heart, so he didn't mention it to the mother. "But today he came to the slave and told him that this time he was not only sure that the man was the Imperial Guard, but that he was also a member of the Left Vanguard Battalion of the Praetorian Guards. ”
Lin Jieyu's fingers stopped, "Do you recognize who that guard is?" ”
"Not really." Jin Zhi shook his head, "But before the flower viewing party, the saint once chanted all night, I wonder if Niangniang still remembers?" ”
"Yes." Lin Jieyu said softly, "The emperor also specially announced that Prince Gong and the prince would enter the palace all night to keep the scriptures." ”
"Yes, that time!" Jin Zhi hurriedly said, "That time, the emperor also dispatched a group of elites from the Left Pioneer Battalion of the Praetorian Guard to keep vigil, and each guard took off their military uniforms and changed into Taoist robes embroidered with the true words of the Daojun. Today, Bai Gu and the slave maid said that if it weren't for this detail, he really wouldn't have been able to shrink this range, because on the morning of the emperor's recitation, he saw the guard wearing a Taoist robe in the area of the imperial garden and talking to Bai Ling for a long time...... That's why it was concluded that the man must be a guard of the left guard battalion. ”
“…… The guards of the left guard battalion," Lin Jieyu repeated in a low voice, the corners of her mouth slightly curled, "How old is this girl." ”
"The slave maid just talked about the news that Bai Ling didn't return all night, and I remembered that there was such a thing." Jin Zhi's voice was a little funny, "Speaking of which, since Bai Ling entered the palace, she has been running to the imperial garden almost every day, and now it seems that praying for incense to the concubine is fake, and a private meeting with the guards is true!" She didn't come home the night before, maybe that's what it was for! ”
Lin Jieyu laughed, she got up from the collapse, and slowly paced in the room, with a bit of light in her eyes, "This is a big trick I didn't expect...... How many people still know about this? ”
"Bai Gu said that he only told the slave maid and Jia's father-in-law, and the others didn't mention anything."
"Let them all be silent." Lin Jieyu narrowed her eyes slightly, with a bit of a hunting smile, "I have to think about how to use this one." ”
"Okay, I'll go to Grandpa Bai tomorrow to convey my mother's instructions."
Lin Jieyu thought for a while, and then said, "You will go to the other side of the Chengqian Palace tomorrow morning to send a message...... Let's just say that Bai Ling wants to go to Donglin Temple, most of the matter is just her bluff, this little girl is false and real, true and false, and she has more thoughts, and it is the hard means to not change everything. ”
"Yes." Jin Zhi quickly responded, and then looked up at his master with some uncertainty, "But...... That's just a subordinate, is it necessary for the mother to talk to her so much? ”
Lin Jieyu turned around, brushed her sleeves and said, "Let you pass it, you can pass it on." ”
Jin Zhi noticed the slight impatience in Lin Jieyu's words, and hurriedly lowered his head and responded, "Eh! ”
……
Early the next morning, Bai Ling was late again.
When she finished washing up and went out from the east side hall, she saw that the three of Qinglian had once again sat at the desk under the big tree, each doing their own work.
After yesterday's rest, Bai Ling's energy has basically fully recovered, and she approached while holding her waist to see the current progress of several people. Qinglian was the quickest to notice Bai Ling's presence, and almost immediately stood up from her chair.
"Kashimon medicine early!" Several people called back and forth.
Bai Ling didn't answer, but just swept the manuscript in the hands of several people with a grim gaze. Just as he was about to take a closer look, Rouge suddenly turned sideways, covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and twisted his eyebrows and coughed for a while.
Bai Ling was slightly stunned, and stepped forward with some concern, "Why did you cough, is it sick?" ”
Rouge shook his head, "Maybe I was a little cold last night, so it's not in the way, I've asked Granny Cai to help me go to the small kitchen and ask for a bowl of ginger soup, and I'll drink it for a while." ”
Bai Ling looked at Rouge with a complicated expression, "Coughing is not a trivial matter...... Am I pressing you too hard these days? ”
"Nothing, no." Rouge hurriedly shook his head, "Don't think so about Bai Siyao, these jobs are not too heavy......
"Okay," Bai Ling frowned and interrupted Rouge's words, "You go to the Internal Affairs Office to find the palace doctor over there first, and see what the doctor says, you should rest and rest and work while sick...... What if the disease is passed on to someone else? ”。
