Chapter 255: Caught off guard
Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the concubine!
Bai Susu was sick, and the high fever did not go away for several days, so Xiao Pingzhang dismissed the three doctors, in fact, she couldn't blame the doctors, it was really because the depression in her heart was difficult to relieve that she couldn't get better.
Because she was sick, Xiao Pingzhang was really anxious, and when her body improved a little, he sent someone to bring back Mingxiang from Wangping Village overnight to take care of her.
After Mingxiang came, she saw a haggard Bai Susu's tears falling down with a sound of brushing, Bai Susu couldn't speak or say anything, so she could only pat her hand and signal her not to be uncomfortable.
Although Ming Xiang heard the news in the suburbs when the Lu family had an accident, there were rumors inside and outside the capital that Lord Lu was about to marry Princess Yinan, and Ming Xiang wanted to know how uncomfortable Bai Susu should be at the moment.
Mingxiang saw that Bai Susu was in a bad mood, so she thought about saying something to her to relieve her boredom, and couldn't help but talk about Soho as she spoke.
"Soho has been strange lately, she said that she was going out for a walk, and she handed over all the money from the lo-mei shop to me a few days ago, as well as the houses and land she had prepared in the past few months, it didn't look like a long trip to relax, but like ......" Mingxiang couldn't think of a suitable word, she had been a little faint worried about it earlier, and now as Zhao Ping's sentence approached, this worry became even more obvious.
When the words fell, Ming Xiang saw Bai Susu frowning, but when she was impatient to listen to this, she hurriedly changed the topic and said, "The slave will tell you an interesting story." When the slave and maid came, they saw a group of people around the street of West Street, and the slave and maid felt curious, and when they got closer, it turned out that there was an artist who caught two monkeys out of nowhere. ”
Bai Susu also suspected that Soho committed suicide again, but now when she heard Mingxiang say it, she was even more sure that her purpose in doing these things was too obvious, that is, she was explaining what was going on.
"Auntie, what do you want to do, slave and maid help you." Mingxiang saw her sit up and wanted to get out of bed to help her reach out to help her.
Bai Susu shook her head at her and signaled that she didn't have to worry, it wasn't a big deal, and now it was okay to recuperate for a few days.
She went to the desk and took pen and ink to write a letter, and gave another address, and handed it to Mingxiang for her to send.
Although Mingxiang didn't understand her intentions, she still sent the letter as she said.
Bai Susu asked her to hand over the letter to a family surnamed Li at the mouth of Pingli Hutong.
Emperor Cheng's inner eunuch chief Wang Dezi had a godbrother named Li Mao. Wang Dezi has a very good relationship with this godbrother's family, and every month he will send someone to send some gold, silver and jade to this godbrother's family.
Bai Susu vaguely remembered such an incident, and asked Mingxiang to go to Pingli Hutong to ask, if there was really a family surnamed Li.
Mingxiang came back and said that the letter had been delivered, and Bai Susu nodded to indicate that she knew, and since the letter had been delivered, she just waited for a reply. As long as Wang Dezi saw the letter she sent this time, there was no reason not to come to her.
Wang Dezi has a younger sister named Lotus, who disappeared more than ten years ago because of a natural disaster, and then Wang Dezi completely lost the news of this sister when he entered the palace. Where is the lotus, others don't know, but Bai Susu knows.
She is a person who has lived for two lifetimes, in the last life, Wang Dezi finally found his long-lost sister, and the person who helped him find it was none other than Xiao Pingzhang, the third prince.
Bai Susu didn't have any other hobbies before, just like to listen to some interesting things in the market, she can't remember what the name of Wang Dezi's sister is and how to find it, the only impression is that Wang Dezi's sister makes a good lo-mei.
Earlier, because she had lost part of her memory, she didn't think much about it when she saw Soho, but when her memory returned, she naturally remembered these old trivia.
Soho is already dead, because she knows that she can't save Zhao Ping, but if there is hope for Zhao Ping's case, then Soho naturally doesn't have to die. Bai Susu not only told Wang Dezi that Soho was his sister, but also told him about Zhao Ping.
Lord Lu said that the only person who wanted to change the case of Dali Temple was Emperor Cheng.
And if it is said that he has been by Emperor Cheng's side for the longest time, the person who has won his trust the most is not the crown prince or the third prince, but Wang Dezi.
The person who helped Wang Dezi find his sister in his previous life was Xiao Pingzhang, so in the later battle for succession, Wang Dezi repeatedly helped the three princes, at that time the Lu family had declined, and Wang Dezi often had the natural advantage of being around Emperor Cheng, Xiao Pingzhang defeated the prince in one fell swoop and won the throne.
She didn't want the past to repeat itself, so Wang Dezi was the one she wanted to fight for, and telling Wang Dezi about Soho's life experience was to give him a big favor.
Bai Susu asked Mingxiang to deliver the letter and also asked people to pick up Soho, she was also a blessing in disguise, because of this illness, Xiao Pingzhang's control of her was obviously loosened a lot, she sent someone to do something, as long as it was not particularly excessive, people outside would do it for her.
Soho has lost a lot of weight compared to a few months, and her skin has darkened a lot, she smiled and asked Bai Susu to say goodbye, "Aunt Bai is well." ”
Bai Susu smiled at her, her tongue was still covered with medicine, and it was difficult to speak, so she wrote down what she was going to say and showed it to Soho.
Soho was thirteen years old when she went missing, and her memory is certain, she and Wang Dezi were separated and went into exile, and later were adopted by a family who was good at making lo-mei, and the family had no heirs, so Soho inherited those lo-mei recipes.
Bai Susu didn't need to say much, just told Soho what had happened.
Su Ho's eyes turned red when she looked at the letter, she had also wanted to find her own brother all these years, but she had no choice but to find a big country, her hometown was long gone, and she only relied on a name where to find someone.
Wang Dezi saw that Bai Susu didn't go that day in Soho, Mingxiang accompanied Soho to go, and then Soho said what Bai Susu didn't know, but she heard that Zhao Ping's execution was postponed, and soon after that, Emperor Cheng personally ordered a retrial.
Soho found her brother and was very grateful to Bai Susu for his help, and she later asked Bai Susu how she learned that Wang Dezi was her brother, Bai Susu smiled and said, "Your eyes are very similar, I felt familiar at first sight, so I wondered if you would have a relationship." ”
Bai Susu didn't doubt Su Ho's words, to be honest, she and Wang Dezi did have some similarities.
With Wang Dezi's help, Soho didn't have to worry anymore, and Bai Susu began to recuperate with peace of mind.
Xiao Pingzhang came to see her a few times, and several times he looked at her without saying anything, as if he had something to say to her, but Bai Susu pretended not to see it, she can actually speak now, although the injury is not all good, but it is okay to say something simply, but Bai Susu is still reluctant to speak, and spends most of the day in a daze at the window.
After the day entered June, the rainy season came, and it was rainy for nearly half of the month, and the rain was too much, which naturally caused the house to be very damp.
No one is uncomfortable in this season, so there is a rare sunny day, and the people have not seen the sun for more than half a month, which will all slip to the street.
Xiao Pingzhang also took Bai Susu out on this day, he promised to take Bai Susu out before, but later caught up with Bai Susu's injury and he was also busy, so the matter dragged on until now.
Bai Susu is obviously in a good mood to be able to go out, she has been living in another courtyard for a while, but helplessly these days, she doesn't even know which street she lives in, what is around, now it is naturally a good thing to be able to go out, so she took this opportunity to take a look.
He traveled in a carriage, and Xiao Pingzhang didn't bring many people, except for the driver who was driving, he only brought a personal guard to protect his safety.
There were a lot of people on the street, and the carriage made a long detour and went straight out of the city from the east gate.
"Where are we going?" Bai Susu looked outside through the curtain and asked.
Xiao Pingzhang was making tea with his head down, his slender fingers pinched the porcelain white teacup, picked up the teapot and poured a cup, and the tea poured out of the small space, and there was a lingering aroma floating in the small space.
He handed Bai Susu a cup, Bai Susu took it, took it and sniffed it on the tip of his nose, the tea was fragrant.
"The Lingering Garden outside the city is blooming well this year, I sent someone to check, the rainy season has not had much impact, and the flowers are still blooming well." Xiao Pingzhang lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and only replied after putting down the teacup.
Bai Susu sighed as an answer, she was honestly not very interested in the hobby of an elegant person like flower appreciation, she used to pretend to be okay when she followed Lord Lu, after all, she liked whatever Lord Lu liked, but now she is too lazy to pretend.
Xiao Pingzhang glanced at her and didn't say anything.
The carriage went out of the city gate and walked a few miles to the Lingering Garden.
The construction of the courtyard of the Lingering Garden is modeled on the Jiangnan garden, with pavilions, rockery landscapes, carp flowers and plants all exquisite and abnormal. This kind of place is not for everyone, it is a place specially prepared for the children of the Jingchu family and the people of the imperial family.
After getting out of the carriage, the two big characters of the Lingering Garden appeared in front of me.
There were a lot of carriages parked at the gate of the garden, presumably the children of the families in Beijing who took advantage of the good weather to go out to play.
"Let's go inside." Xiao Pingzhang spoke softly beside her.
Bai Susu nodded, as soon as she raised her feet, for some reason, her knees suddenly went numb, her legs became weak, and her body was unstable and fell to the side.
Xiao Pingzhang's eyes were quick, and he grabbed her waist with one hand and gently lifted her up to hold her firm, "I don't know how to be careful, it's frizzy." ”
Bai Susu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she didn't fall, and just wanted to say that Xie Leng raised her head unexpectedly and crashed into a pair of bottomless eyes, her heart trembled violently at this moment, her face was instantly pale as paper, and her body became more and more unstable.
She imagined what it would be like to reunite with Lord Lu, but she never imagined that in such a situation, she would almost half lean on the arms of other men, and he was also holding a beautiful woman in his arms.
Xiao Pingzhang, who was so close, naturally noticed that something was wrong with her, looked up and saw the person standing opposite, first frowned and quickly laughed, "Brother Lu, I haven't seen you for a long time, you and the princess also came to enjoy the flowers?" ”
Lu Zhiyuan also smiled, he lowered his head and didn't know what to say to the woman next to him, the woman smiled shyly, turned her head and went to the car to wait first. After the woman walked away, Lu Zhiyuan turned around, he took a few steps forward, Bai Susu's heart also lifted, and he stared at the man opposite with a pair of eyes.
