After being a widow, the empress dowager was favored by the powerful ministers

Chapter 121 Be Prepared
Sheng Baoling frowned, she naturally knew that Pei Ci asked Lisheng to come to her side because Lisheng was the only one who knew her identity, and if others came to her side, they would inevitably be noticed.

But if Li Sheng is by his side, where is Pei Ci?

"You come to me, what about your family, is there someone guarding?"

Li Sheng: "My lord is surrounded by other people to protect me."

Only then did Sheng Baoling feel a little relieved.

Li Sheng looked at Sheng Baoling, recalling what happened yesterday, he hesitated to speak
Sheng Baoling saw Lisheng's hesitation to speak.

She raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "Is there anything you want to say?"

Li Sheng hesitated for a while, but still told the truth about what happened yesterday, "Excuse me for my troublesome subordinates, yesterday it was not the dishes ordered by the subordinates in the same restaurant, but all the adults' arrangements, and the adults even gave extra money and designated one of them. Two dishes that are not available in the store."

This is not something a subordinate should do, but he has been with the lord for so many years, and he doesn't want the lord to do so many things, but he has always kept it from the empress dowager.

Hearing this, the corners of Sheng Baoling's mouth twitched slightly, "Well, I see."

She stepped up and walked outside.

Li Sheng was left in the same place, a little dazed, and after a long while, he realized that he quickly followed Sheng Baoling. He was puzzled by what Sheng Baoling said just now, but he couldn't solve it at all.

At this moment, Sheng Baoling's heart was inexplicably excited, and this little excitement spread from his heart bit by bit.

Even she herself was still a little unclear why, until she had breakfast and saw Pei Ci walking down the stairs, dressed in white, walking towards her as if in a dream many years ago when she was in Sheng's mansion.

Her heart suddenly started beating violently "thumping", faster and faster, so fast that she almost forgot to breathe, slowly, until Pei Ci sat down in front of her and called her, and then react to.

She took a few breaths.

There was doubt in Pei Ci's eyes, "Didn't you sleep well yesterday?"

Looking at the things on the table, Sheng Baoling should have been sitting for a long time, as if he woke up very early.

He looked at Li Sheng behind Sheng Baoling.

Li Sheng just stood behind Sheng Baoling without saying a word.

Pei Ci sat close, and Sheng Baoling looked carefully, from the eyebrows to the bridge of the nose, from the bridge of the nose to the mouth, and finally to the neck.

Every inch is so beautiful that she loses her mind.

Seeing that Sheng Baoling was still staring at him, Pei Ci frowned slightly, raised his hand, and shook slightly in front of Sheng Baoling, "What's wrong?"

With the slight palm wind stroking his face, Sheng Baoling finally came back to his senses.

Realizing that she was staring at Pei Ci, she was fascinated, her face was slightly hot, "It's nothing, I'm just not used to it."

I just feel that there is something wrong with myself.

But Pei Ci saw that her face was a little red, and couldn't help but feel a little worried. Could it be that she caught the cold?

He stretched out his hand, wanting to touch Sheng Baoling's forehead, but Sheng Baoling subconsciously hid aside, with surprise in his eyes.

She hid because she felt a little guilty, but in Pei Ci's eyes, she felt a little different when she hid.

Pei Ci immediately withdrew his hand, "It's abrupt."

Sheng Baoling hid for a while because of a guilty conscience, but now he heard Pei Ci say that, and felt a little flustered for no reason.

She wanted to explain, but didn't know where to start.

The atmosphere between the two suddenly became a little awkward.

Even Li Sheng who was on the side felt a little embarrassed.

No one knew what to say.

Sheng Baoling lowered his eyes and ate with something between his hands. He was obviously full, but if he just got up and left, leaving him alone, it didn't seem too good.

Moreover, she seemed a little unwilling to leave Pei Ci alone, and she always felt a little lonely watching him alone.

Pei Ci was eating casually, looking at Sheng Baoling in front of him from the corner of his eye from time to time, he could vaguely detect some changes in Sheng Baoling's mood, but he didn't know what was the cause of this mood change, and why.

Is it
Is it because of yourself?
Thinking of this, he looked up at Sheng Baoling. At this moment, he suddenly felt that he couldn't understand this Sheng Baoling. The Sheng Baoling in front of him seemed to be a little different from the Sheng Baoling in his impression.

But the two are indeed the same person.

He frowned, always feeling that something was wrong, but he still couldn't say it.

Similar to Pei Ci, Sheng Baoling was also thinking about another question at the moment.

Why has Pei Ci been taking care of her since she went to Pei's private school, taking care of her in every way, understanding her, and even accommodating her too much.

He didn't need to hide so many things for himself, going out of the palace, the Ministry of punishment, the Ministry of household, so many things, one by one.

Even this trip down south.

But he did all of them.

If others in this line of business noticed his presence, Pei Ci would definitely commit a felony.

But he didn't seem to take his own life seriously at all.

But he shouldn't be a person who affects others' emotions like that.

He hadn't noticed it before, but now, he really felt the difference between Pei Ci and him.

Although there was indeed some inexplicable excitement in my heart, but because of this difference, Sheng Baoling suddenly thought of the previous dreams, Pei Ci's last death, and kept turning in his mind. Suddenly, at this moment, Whatever you eat is tasteless.

If in the dream he didn't treat him so well, or even didn't care at all, he wouldn't be charged with rebellion in the end, and he wouldn't even have a whole body when he died.
Although these were not what Sheng Baoling experienced personally, in Sheng Baoling's heart, it seemed that she had really experienced them.

After the two had eaten, the group prepared to leave.

From last night until now, Sheng Baoling has always carried those hidden weapons and poison bags on his body.

Pei Ci vaguely felt that today's Sheng Baoling seemed to be a little more cautious in words and deeds than yesterday's Sheng Baoling, and even a little weird.

I thought she was sick, so I couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with your hand?"

I saw Sheng Baoling raised her hand, avoiding her wrist intentionally, and when Pei Ci asked, she then used her other hand to take out a small box from the cuff of her wrist, and saw a few boxes on it. Needle
Pei Ci was stunned for a moment, his originally calm face was now a little surprised.

Seeing Li Sheng at the side, they were a little shocked.

The empress dowager actually carried a hidden weapon on her body, the needle looked like it had been poisoned, and she was not afraid of accidentally hurting herself.

Seeing that the two were more surprised than the other, she explained, "Be prepared."

Always carry something with you to be safe.

For a moment, Pei Ci didn't know how to react, he wanted to laugh, but couldn't, he just looked at other parts of her body, remembering the things he saw last night.

He even suspected that Sheng Baoling was probably full of those things at the moment.
