Ji Ziran kept watch at the gate of Xiangyuan all night, but there was no movement, and at noon, he bought two baked cakes on the side of the road and filled his stomach with white wine.

A woman pushing the stove on the street said: "Master, buy a bag of sweet chestnuts, and it will be warm in your arms on a cold day." The aroma of fried chestnuts was mouthwatering, Ji Ziran rubbed his frozen red ice hands and asked, "How did you sell it?" The woman quickly took out the chestnuts wrapped in paper under the warm stove with her hands and feet, handed them to Ji Ziran tremblingly, and said, "A big bag is only four yuan." Ji Ziran took the silver from his cuffs and threw it to the woman.

He was about to turn around with the chestnut in his hand, but he saw a flash of white light, and the long sword was straight to his chest, and he couldn't dodge.

He had been trained for a long time, and with a sweep of his eyes, he knew who it was. Anan personally blindfolded Ji Ziran and tied him all the way into the cell of the Fourteenth Baylor Mansion.

I never knew there was a cell in Baylor House, and I didn't let Fourteen know it all my life. I left the palace at noon on the fourteenth, and I wondered.

It was rare for him to take a nap at home, and I didn't dare to disturb him, so I quietly flipped through the books in the outer hall. As soon as he woke up and was about to go out, I waited for him to get dressed and asked, "When will I be back today?" Do you want to prepare your snack? Fourteen stretched out his arms and let me fasten the brocade button on my chest, Shi Shiran said: "I don't go out, I only handle affairs in the front yard, and I'll be back in a while." "I never ask about his work, and even if I do, he doesn't necessarily say.

Watching him go out, I called out to Minqiu to enter the house and ordered the snacks to eat at night, and suddenly remembered the high-grade ginseng sent by Bafu Jinxin in front of me, and said: "Let Bai Zhi go to the treasury to get two ginsengs, stew a pot of chicken soup, and if you are hungry, use chicken soup to give him below." Minqiu said: "The slave maid will go and get it herself." "Because ginseng is a valuable item, not everyone can withdraw it.

But such small things have always been done by Bai Zhi, and I felt very strange about what Minqiu said, so I asked: "I haven't seen Bai Zhi for most of the day, what about her?" Min Qiu hesitated a little before saying, "Zhang Chenda said that he wanted to ask Bai Zhi for help, but Bai Zhi went early in the morning and hasn't returned yet." "The only one who can make Minqiu shout is Zhang Fangfang in the house.

However, Zhang Fangfang is a person around the fourteenth, and there are not many people under him to support the envoys, so why did she find Bai Zhi, but people are puzzled.

But I don't bother to ask, they make trouble around, it's nothing more than a trivial matter for the minions, nothing important, and I can't worry about it.

Bai Zhi received the order of the fourteenth and took a peace charm to the fourth master's mansion to ask for peace. Entering the courtyard of Sifujin, Mama Liu greeted her and said with a smile: "The girl is unlucky, Sifujin is coaxing Ergege to sleep, and there is no way to summon the girl." Bai Zhi politely blessed her body and said, "Mama is polite, I just came to pass on the words of my master." After a pause, he said: "My master said that I heard that Ergege was sick before, and now I don't know if it is better, and I have been worried about it in my heart, just because I am also taking medicine, it is not good to visit in person, which is really rude." Mama Liu was busy with her blessing and said, "It's already much better, Xie Shishifu Jin cares." Bai Zhi stretched out his hand to help him, carefully took out the brocade red handkerchief from his arms, spread it out, and took out a bright yellow peace charm from it, and said: "Yesterday, the master sent someone to the temple to ask for a talisman for Fu Jin, and Fu Jin Qian told Wan to ask for a piece for the second grid of the fourth master's mansion." Mama Liu is also a believer in Buddhism, and she smiled more and more, accepted the peace charm, and thanked her again and again.

Bai Zhi didn't say much, and was about to leave, and Mama Liu wanted to send her off in person, but was stopped by Bai Zhi and said: "I have come to the palace with my masters before, and I am familiar with the way, so I don't need you to lead the way." Besides, if this peace charm is worn on Ergege's body early, Ergege will be able to heal sooner. Mama Liu was convinced and said, "The girl is really reasonable, I won't send it, you go slowly." I'll be treating you to two sips of tea another day—I really can't spare it today. Bai Zhi smiled: "I'll keep your tea for now, and I'll drink it another day." After a few more pleasantries, the two dispersed.

Coming out of the Fujin house, the little eunuch in the corridor led Bai Zhi all the way out. In winter, when the north wind is howling, Angelica Angelica is wrapped in a common gray cape, tightly wrapped from head to toe.

The little eunuch who led the way was thinly dressed and shivered with cold. Bai Zhi slowed down and said with a smile: "Big brother, are you really an errand in the corridor?" The little eunuch knew that Bai Zhi was from the Fourteenth Baylor Mansion, and coupled with her handsome appearance and gentle speech, he was extremely willing to talk, and said, "Yes, there is really no comparison with the girl." Bai Zhi almost hid most of her face and said, "What's incomparable, it's just a minion." The little eunuch said: "That's very different, you are the people who serve in front of the master, you have to be polite to others when you talk and do things, what are we, the master can't see each other a few times a year, and there is no reward for ordinary people, only in the next year." Bai Zhi said with a smile: "You are majestic in guarding the corridor, anyone has to look at your face first" This is true, the little eunuch was proud in his heart, and said angrily: "That's right, if the princes and fortunes want to see our master, how noble she is, she has to be polite in front of me" He said to himself, and suddenly there was no sound behind him, and when he looked back, he was gone.

He stomped his feet, thinking that he was walking fast, and wrapped Bai Zhi into the rockery and didn't come out. Bai Zhi had been to the Fourth Master's Mansion many times before, and soon found Ailian's courtyard.

In the bleak winter, it was deserted everywhere, and the slaves and maids were hiding in the house and lazy, and they did not go out if they could not go out, so there were very few people walking on the road.

Bai Zhi moved quickly, walked into the courtyard in a few steps, took out the purse prepared in advance and threw it at Ailian's house, and then left quickly.

Ailian, she was originally illiterate, and she was bored with nothing to do in the courtyard of the deep house, so she practiced the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and practiced according to the book by herself, and she did not pursue how much to learn, just to pass the time.

At this time, she was standing under the window to practice calligraphy, and suddenly heard a clang, turned her face to look, but saw that she had been lying in the room with a blue purse.

She recognized that the purse was worn by Ji Ziran's Su Ri. She reacted very quickly, and instead of picking up the purse, she lifted the curtain and ran straight out, trying to find out who threw it.

But the sky was gloomy, and the corridors in the courtyard were silent, as if no one had come at all.

She turned back to the house, opened her purse, and saw a silver token in it, and a small piece of paper with the words "Tomorrow and a Quarter of a Quarter in the Alley".

Look at the bottom of the token, it is impressively printed

A few words for "the Fourteenth Prince's Mansion". She was extremely smart, and immediately knew that Ji Ziran's whereabouts were revealed and was captured by the Fourteenth Master.

If it was someone else, she didn't want to go to the appointment at all, because she didn't take Ji Ziran to heart at all, and she couldn't take her risk if he lived or died.

However, it was fourteen who made an appointment with her. The fourteenth master she has never been able to forget. On the contrary, she felt happy, and the situation at this time, in her opinion, was no different from the secret meeting with Rose and Fourteen.

When she met three points, she always felt wishful thinking that Fourteen still had her in her heart. Every word of love she said to her and everything she did would be reviewed before she went to bed, because she was also afraid, afraid that she would forget.

Her heart, in the accumulation of hatred, grievances, and anguish, became more and more distorted and deeper.

She would even fantasize about something that had never happened, fantasize about promises that Fourteen had never given, and then only think that they were all true, and slowly believe it.

Sometimes, she couldn't tell the difference between dreams and reality. Bi'er was serving tea in the side room, and when she heard Ailian's shout, she hurriedly threw away the work in her hand, trotted into the flower hall, and panted: "Side Fujin, do you have any orders?" Ai Lian didn't hear it, clasped her hands, and paced around the room.

Bi'er repeated: "Master, what happened? Ai Lian actually smiled softly at her, like a pear blossom blooming in thousands of trees, so beautiful that it was incomprehensibly beautiful.

Suddenly, his face changed, and he said hurriedly: "I'm going out tomorrow, the new clothes for the New Year are not ready, and the shoes are old, hey, you see that this hairpin is not shiny, what should I do?" Seeing that Ai Lian had lost her mind, Bi'er flipped left and right in front of the dresser, opened the cabinet and threw out the clothes on the ground, hurriedly cleaned up on the ground, and said, "Master, don't you remember? The clothes of the year are only ready, and the slaves and maids are washed and dried in the wardrobe, and if you want to try them, the slaves and maids will go and get them. Ai Lian stopped her movements and exclaimed, "When will it be done?" How did I not know? Bi'er pursed her lips secretly, she clearly told Ai Lian the night before yesterday, Ai Lian also tried the size of her wide clothes, how can she say forget it?

Although he thought so in his heart, he didn't dare to show it on his face at all, and said with a smile: "The slave and maid mentioned it casually, the master has a lot of things, and it's normal not to remember it." Then he asked, "If not, the slave and maid will go and get it?" Ai Lian thought about it and thought about it, her mind was blank, thinking that Bi'er really just said it casually, so she ignored it and said, "Go and get it, I'm going to try it." Bi'er answered, lifted the curtain and retreated, trotting to the wardrobe to get the robe.

Bai Zhijing walked out of the Fourth Master's Mansion and returned to the house in the carriage when he came. The little eunuch in the corridor room searched for a long time in the garden, and was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, until a slave and maid passed by, and as soon as the two talked about the reason, they knew that Bai Zhi had left on her own.

The little eunuch in the corridor thought that Bai Zhi had separated from him, and then left the house without authorization, so he gave up. Fourteen practiced swords in the courtyard, he was dressed in a bright yellow arrow sleeve robe, jade and long, under the dark sky, it looked extremely dazzling.

Bai Zhi followed Zhang Fangfang to stand in the corner of the wall, but when Fourteen finished playing a set of swordsmanship and went to the side to rest and wipe his sweat, Fang quietly stepped forward.

Fourteen raised his face, Zhang Fangfang understood, and led everyone to retreat. Fourteen wiped his sword and said indifferently: "Can the thing be delivered?" Bai Zhi bent her knees and said, "Master Qi, the slave and maid acted according to the plan, and there was no mistake or omission. Fourteen bowed his head and said, "Very good." After a pause, he said: "This matter must not be told to anyone, let alone let Wei Wei have any suspicions." If she asks something, you should know how to answer it. Bai Zhi said respectfully: "Don't worry, the slave knows." ”...
