Chapter 56: Rescuing Qiu Ziyao
"Fishy cats never know how to converge!" Bai Lilan snorted coldly and said, "Is there any lady who left halfway today?" ”
"Except for Concubine Jin and the queen, all the concubines are here."
Since she is not the emperor's woman, she should be the daughter of an official eunuch, and it seems that this Su Yicheng really can't bear to be lonely.
"County master, do you need a slave to check?"
"There's no need," Baili Lan said before getting into the carriage, "that former prince has no chance of turning over." ”
Because of the unhappiness at the dinner, Bai Xuan'er went to Baililan's courtyard the next day and went to ask for guilt in person.
"Good sister-in-law, don't bother me with yesterday's events. You also know Qi Guifei's habits, and my prince is a filial piety, if you don't listen to Qi Guifei's words, then the prince will definitely reprimand me! As soon as she sat down, Bai Xuan'er couldn't wait to tell her difficulties, "Hey, the Ling Wangfu is not as good as the Chen Palace, there are many concubines, I, the housewife, if I am reprimanded by the prince, it will be difficult to manage the goblins under me in the future." ”
"Then Princess Ling came to me today, so she wasn't afraid that Concubine Qi would know?"
Bai Xuan'er said confidently, "You can rest assured of this, when you leave the palace, Concubine Qi won't be able to control me!" In order to express my apologies, today, I brought the news of that little girl! ”
Hearing this, Bai Lilan raised her head to look at Bai Xuan'er, and said with a vague smile, "Princess Ling is bothered, how is that child?" ”
"It's not good, it's not bad." Bai Xuan'er restrained her smile and sighed. This sigh was like a hammer, slamming into the heart of the hateful, "Hey, I am also a young lady, but now I am a coolie girl in the plum blossom village, exposed to the wind and sun all day long, hard work, I have to do so much heavy work at a young age, I feel distressed when I look at it." ”
"Plum Blossom Village......" Bai Lilan pondered for a moment, and then said, "But that plum garden on the outskirts of the city?" ”
"Exactly. Since that place was acquired by Prince Ling, he ordered people to sort it out and cultivate exotic flowers and plants, like a paradise. ”
"I really can't see that Lord Ling is still an elegant person." Bai Lilan smiled meaninglessly, and then said, "If you just like flowers and plants, just put them in the Lingwang Mansion to cultivate, why do you need to find such a remote place?" It is also inconvenient to enjoy the view. ”
Bai Xuan'er felt thirsty, so she picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip of sweet almond tea before continuing, "If it's for flower appreciation, the varieties of Lingwangfu are enough. Didn't the prince see that Li Xianglan's business was really prosperous, so he thought about getting a piece of the pie, which was not only elegant but also made money. ”
Nodding clearly, Baili Lan said again, "With Lord Ling's connections, it is not difficult to expand the flower and herb business. But what can a little girl do in it, do chores? ”
"No," Bai Xuan'er squinted comfortably as a sip of sweet almond tea slid down her throat, and then said, "I have inquired about that child, she is very talented in floral art, and the masters in the manor also like her, so let her follow." It's just that she is a child in the end, and it is also very hard to cultivate flower seeds, prune and remove leaves all day long. ”
"That'...... In Meihuazhuang, can anyone bully her? ”
"It's just a child, where can you bully. But someone just takes care of her. Third sister-in-law, why are you so concerned about that child? Bai Xuan'er leaned over curiously, narrowed her eyes and asked, "I was very curious last time and wanted to ask you, but I was delayed by other things." ”
"Oh, it's nothing, but I've heard that Lord Qiu is honest and clear, and I hope to help his descendants."
Feeling that such an answer was not exciting at all, Bai Xuan'er leaned back with lack of interest, and said lazily, "That Lord Qiu is simply old and stubborn. My lord is so wooing him, but he refuses to follow. You said that if he agrees to follow my prince, after the accident, my prince will definitely not sit idly by. It's good now, Lord Qiu died unjustly in prison, his eldest son disappeared, his daughter was sold into slavery, and the whole family was ruined, tsk! ”
Bai Xuan'er's every word stabbed hard in Qiu Xi's heart, and her fists clenched so loudly that she clenched "clucking", if he could, he really wanted to pinch this woman's neck so that she could close her noisy mouth.
"Oh, I remember, the Zeng boss of the silk village said that he had a piece of silk and asked me to take the time to go and get it, but I didn't have time. Qiu Xi, you go to Boss Zeng and get the red silk back, remember, it has a daffodil pattern on it. Sensing the murderous aura of hatred, Baili Lan pushed him out.
But the words have been out for a long time, and Qiu Sha still doesn't move, Qiu Shuang is afraid that Qiu Sha will be impulsive and bad, so he pushed him down, and at the same time said to Baili Lan, "County Lord, Qiu Sha, a person with five big and three thick, where will he recognize any pattern, or the slave maid and Qiu Sha will go together." ”
"It's okay," Bai Lilan nodded and said, "By the way, buy a packet of pine nuts on North Street and come back, and let the store wrap it carefully, so as not to lose the heat." ”
"Yes."
Looking at the back of Qiu Xie leaving, Bai Xuan'er said strangely, "But what a strange person, wearing a mask all day long, is he disfigured?" ”
"It's almost, the face is too ugly, I'm afraid of disturbing people."
Bai Xuan'er showed an expression that was really like this, and then said flatteringly, "That is, the third sister-in-law is kind-hearted, and if someone else's words, it will allow such a strange person to enter the mansion to serve." Following a master like you, it's really the luck of those minions! ”
Bai Lilan pulled the corners of her mouth and did not speak. The two of them were quiet for a while, and then they said, "Look, how do you send that child out of Plum Blossom Village?" ”
"That's very simple, I told the prince that the third sister-in-law wants a girl who knows how to clean up the courtyard. This little thing, my prince will not refuse to agree. ”
"No," Bai Lilan shook her head and said, "If this matter is touched by two palaces, it will become troublesome. It's better to have a golden cicada out of its shell, you and I can worry less. Besides, if this matter spreads and says that Prince Ling took in the eldest lady of Qiufu, who was supposed to be sold as a slave, I am afraid that it will also get into trouble. It's an eventful time now, and you, the princess, have to think more about the prince. ”
Bai Lilan didn't say that it was okay, but after she mentioned it like this, Bai Xuan'er realized that the child was a hot potato. Fortunately, Baili Lan is willing to take in the child, just to be a favor!
The more she thought about it, the more it made sense, Bai Xuan'er was so anxious that she couldn't sit on the chair steadily, so she hurriedly said goodbye to Bai Lilan, and went back to King Ling's Mansion to find a way.
"Princess, do you think Princess Ling can really send her hateful sister out?" After Bai Xuan'er left, Chunfeng said with a little worry, "Since Prince Ling wants to use that girl to contain the enemy, how can he let people replace her so easily?" ”
"I didn't plan to use Bai Xuan'er's ability to rescue that child."
"Huh? Then you just ......"
"It's just a trick." Bai Lilan pushed aside the almond tea in front of her, thinking that women were really strange that they liked such a sweet and greasy tea, "With Bai Xuan'er's IQ, what kind of golden cicada is out of her shell, hmph, it's good if she doesn't add to the chaos, of course such things that require wisdom can't be done by her." I did this to confuse Bai Xuan'er and strengthen the custody of my hated sister. In this way, even if the child is missing, there is no suspicion that I am here. ”
"But Lord Ling has strengthened his precautions, and it is difficult for us to take the child out."
After hearing the words of the spring breeze, Baili Lan smiled proudly and said, "The precautions are tight, and there are also omissions." This time, I want to visit the Lingwang Mansion at night! ”
***
Half-naked, Su Yiling leaned down on the chair, pillowed her head on Meiji's thigh, her eyes slightly closed, and she was intoxicated by the gentleness.
"Lord Wang." The little maid who was waiting for Su Yiling quietly walked to his side and whispered, "There is a message from Meihuazhuang, saying that it is ...... It is said that Qiu Shichang's sister is missing! ”
"What!" Shu Yiling pushed Mei Ji away, got up and looked at the little girl angrily, and asked loudly, "What the hell is going on, didn't I ask the people of Meihuazhuang to strengthen the guards, why can't even a child look at it!" It's just a bunch of rice buckets!! ”
"I heard a report from there, saying that the maid who was guarding the child was knocked unconscious from the back of the neck, and I didn't know what was going on."
Shu Yiling smiled coldly after hearing this, and a storm appeared in her eyes, "It's good, I don't even know what the other party looks like!" I've really raised a group of 'capable people'! Prepare the horse, this king wants to go and see it for himself! ”
"Yes, yes!" The little guy crawled back and forth.
It didn't take long for the housekeeper to prepare the carriage and horses, and Su Yiling roared away with anger.
***
Standing in front of Qiu Ziyao's room, Su Yiling looked at it carefully. It was a simple wooden hut with nothing but a wooden bed and a chest. Although she is a child, it can be seen that Qiu Ziyao loves cleanliness and cleans up this place spotlessly. Walking to the box, Shu Yiling opened the box and found that it was empty.
"Didn't the kid bring anything with him when he came?"
"There are still a few changes of clothes." The owner of the plum blossom village was so frightened that he even stumbled when he spoke.
Shu Yiling smiled coldly and closed the empty box heavily. Then he continued to pac to the window, and on the window he saw a black mark. Looking out of the window, there is a big tree, and at the end of the branch is the courtyard of the plum blossom village, as long as you jump on it, you can easily leave the plum blossom village.
"Hmph, it seems that he is still an expert." Shu Yiling snorted lightly, then turned to look at the two people kneeling on the ground, and asked, "What clues did you find at that time?" ”
The two maids had bloodless faces, and said again and again, "After Xiao Yao fell asleep, she was very quiet and made no sound. ”
"And who's been here today?"
The owner thought for a moment and hurriedly replied, "The princess has been here today. ”
Bai Xuan'er?
Su Yiling frowned, and suddenly thought that this woman was just yesterday, and she was looking at Qiu Ziyao's news with herself. At the time, he didn't take it to heart, but now it seems that the two must be inextricably linked!
"Go home!"
Bai Xuan'er didn't know that there would be a storm coming to her, and she was fighting with a few concubines who listened to her fiddling. Today, Bai Xuan'er's card style is very bad, and she has lost three for one several times in a row. finally caught a good hand, and before Bai Xuan'er had played half a circle, she heard Su Yiling shouting her name wildly.
"Bai Xuan'er!"
With a shake of her hand, Bai Xuan'er turned around and looked at the fierce Su Yiling, and a sense of foreboding suddenly surged in her heart.
