Chapter 158
Bai Ling's expression was normal, and he suddenly called out, "Qinglian."

Qinglian who was not far away froze for a moment, then hurriedly stood up and answered, "Yes?"

"I accept the gift and send the golden branch away." Bai Ling said softly.

Qinglian quickly ran forward and took the golden birdcage in Qinglian's hands with both hands, but she didn't know how to invite the great god in front of her, so she stood there in embarrassment, stretched out her hand and said "please" in the direction of the palace gate Actions.

"Bo Siyao hasn't told me about this gift yet, do you like it or not?" Jin Zhi laughed softly, "How can I talk back to our empress?"

"Then please ask sister Jin Zhi to greet Lin Jieyu for me," Bo Ling raised his head slightly, looked straight into Jin Zhi's eyes, and said in a slow tone, "I like this generous gift very much."

Jin Zhi suddenly covered her mouth and laughed loudly, as if she heard an extremely funny joke, she waved her hands, "It's good if you like it, then my trip today will not be considered in vain."

After finishing speaking, she turned around neatly, and finally stepped out of the gate of Chengqian Palace, but the laughter still echoed in the corridor.

The palace people of Chengqian Palace immediately closed the door, and the women spat hard in the direction where Jin Zhi was leaving, and then called a few young palace people to fetch water to wash the floor, and used clean water to wash Jin Zhi and others on the ground. I rushed to the place I passed three times.

Qinglian was holding the birdcage and standing there - Bai Ling had been talking to a few women, as if discussing how to tell the imperial concubine what happened tonight.Although she couldn't hear the specific conversation, but from the expressions of several people and the subtle tone changes, she could feel that Bai Siyao seemed to have successfully persuaded the women one by one.

It would be great when I can be so eloquent... Qinglian stared at Bai Ling's silhouette in ecstasy.

Sensing the gaze, Bo Ling turned his head, "Why are you still here?"

Qinglian came back to her senses in an instant, "Ah... the birdcage, because of this birdcage, Si Yao just told me to take it—"

"Go find the scale first, and weigh the cage." Bai Ling ordered softly, "Put it away after weighing it, and you will go to the Guangchu Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs tomorrow morning, and have it checked by the old master over there." Test the fineness of this gold, and then talk back."

"Yes!" Qinglian hugged the cage tightly, and ran to the storage room to get the scale without looking back.

This was already the third time that Bai Siyao took the initiative to call her name today, and also arranged for her to go outside to contact people, which was great news no matter what.

I just don't know about such a thing. Baisi medicine needs to be weighed and tested... What do you want to do?

This night, until Bo Ling fell asleep, Concubine Qu still did not come back.

But Bao Yuan hurried back to Dongpian Hall to deliver a message, telling Bo Ling that the imperial concubine proposed to bring the consultation time of the day after tomorrow to tomorrow night.After Bai Ling agreed, she took advantage of the night and ran all the way back to Xianfu Palace.

The noble concubine seems to be planning to spend the night in Xianfu Palace tonight.

To a certain extent, this is a good thing. After going through a day of ups and downs, Berlin is extremely tired and almost touches the pillow.Although there was a faint sense of overdraft both physically and mentally, this night's sleep was more peaceful than any previous day.

She harbored some kind of hesitation and hidden worry about the departure of a ship in her heart, and in her dream that night, she dreamed of a calm sea.

……

On the same night, an urgent letter was delivered to Prince Gong's residence.

When the letter was delivered, Prince Gong was lighting up the lamp to read at night, and the prince was copying the "Biography of Famous Officials" from the previous dynasty.

Even though Prince Gong was concentrating on his studies, Shizi was already yawning all over the place. Even so, he really didn't dare to show his sleepiness in front of his father, so he could only hold back his pajamas, and kept wiping the wet tears from his eyes.

The outside door has been knocked twice in half an hour, but both times were rejected by Prince Gong. When the knock sounded for the third time, Prince Gong was already a little annoyed, and he called to the side The palace man on duty at night asked sharply, "Who is the person outside? Didn't I say that the king will read tonight and see no one?"

The palace man lowered his head and ran out to inquire, and then replied, "Return to the prince, Master Hu sent someone to send a letter, please check it immediately."

Prince Gong frowned, "Where are others? Are they outside?"

"I didn't see Mr. Hu coming, only letters came."

"What kind of urgent matter can that be! It's worth quarreling with me to study in the middle of the night!" Prince Gong dropped the book in his hand in dissatisfaction, "It's a letter, show it to me!"

The palace man bowed his head even lower, he retreated facing Prince Gong, and came back with a letter in his hand.

The prince who was not far away at this moment was so sleepy that his father's sudden anger aroused, and the pen in his hand also stopped, observing his father's expression wholeheartedly from the corner of his eye.

The letter paper was shaken off in Prince Gong's hands, and he read it at a glance by the candlelight, but after a while, Prince Gong turned pale.

"Where is the messenger, let him in!"

There was no more anger in this voice, after being hit hard by the bad news in the letter, only shock and fear remained in Prince Gong's tone.He sat on the seat in shock, his hands clenched into fists, and the thin letter paper was crumpled by him in an instant.

The visitor quickly entered the study room—it was the servant who had been with Hu Yishu all the year round, his eyes were swollen and bloodshot at the moment, and he had just cried bitterly.

"Where's a book!?" Prince Gong stepped forward and directly helped the boy up, "What's the matter with this farewell letter? What about others?"

The boy wiped away his tears and said with a sob, "My husband should have left the suburbs of Beijing by now."

"What's the situation!" Prince Gong shouted in disbelief.

The young man kowtowed, and continued, "The matter came too urgently. At night, a group of Jinyiwei suddenly came to the mansion, and they brought His Majesty's letter saying that our husband should go north overnight to take over the post of the Anti-Golden Grain Road. We I don’t know what’s going on, but my house was stolen!”

"Confiscation?" Prince Gong's eyes widened, "Jin Yiwei ransacked the house?"

"Neither robbed nor smashed, just registered all the things in the mansion up and down, and then expelled all the servants from the mansion," the young man cried tearfully, "but our old lady and Madame, and the young master are being detained in the mansion at the moment. No one knows what is going on. Before leaving, sir, I hastily wrote this letter of trust and I will send it to the prince, begging him to save the old lady, madam And the young master!"

Prince Gong stepped back a few steps, and sat heavily on the couch behind him.

"How could this be..." Prince Gong hurriedly recalled the past few days, "Master Hu is the servant of the household department, so it is impossible for the emperor to treat him like this."

The boy didn't know what else to say, he just kowtowed, "My lord! I beg you to visit our Hu Mansion, please help me!"
