Jiang Qing

Before leaving the palace, Mei Shao realized that he was a little strange in Zangshu Pavilion.

On the day of the official historian's rest, he was not allowed to enter the palace without being summoned by His Majesty, and the people behind the curtain did not say a word, as if they were covering up something.

Glancing at the little eunuch who was leading the way, Mei Shao asked, "Has any historian entered the palace today?"

The little eunuch shook his head.

"Then besides me, who else has entered the palace today?"

The little eunuch who led him out of the palace was indeed a newcomer, when Mei Shao asked him, he answered honestly: "Master Bai has been here."

Mei Shao's mind raced through, and the scenes in Zangshu Pavilion just now were skipped one by one.

He suddenly turned his head and walked back quickly, the little eunuch leading the way hurriedly followed him, and asked with a sad face: "My lord, where are you going?"

Mei Shao turned a deaf ear to the shouts behind him, his pace became more and more urgent, and soon he left the little eunuch behind.

When he arrived at the door of Zangshu Pavilion, Shuangxi was locking the door. Regardless of the etiquette, he pushed the door and went in. He went straight to the seat just now, and stretched out his hand to pull open the curtain.

No one is empty.

Mei Shao didn't give up, and went through all the books on the desk, but there was still no trace of "Pingzhou Ji", leaving only a few scraps of paper where the scriptures were copied incorrectly.

The words are thin, very much like his handwriting, but they are a little erratic, as if the ink has not been put into place.

He was still holding these few pages in a daze, and Shuangxi hurried in and asked, "My lord?"

Looking around for no one, Mei Shao asked in a low voice, "Has Bai Bingchen been here?"

Shuangxi also glanced outside, then nodded slightly.

The scene of his aunt's tricks and tricks back then is still vivid in his memory. He must not let this secret be revealed to others, otherwise not only will his revenge be hopeless, but his own life will also be difficult to save.

The guess in his heart was gradually confirmed, and Mei Shao's heart was mostly cold. He walked out of the Library Pavilion, and the same road was taken now, but it was very different. He was like a man with a jade, and the most fragile fortress was in the hands of others. .

Why?Why Bai Bingchen again?

Why does he have to fight against himself in everything?

Why is he refusing to let go of himself?Not to mention going to Cangzhou, but also to track down his identity again and again?

Do you have to peel off your disguised appearance with great difficulty to reveal the innermost and most embarrassing appearance, but you still refuse to give up?

Walking out of the palace gate, the misty misty rain was illuminated by the sun, and gradually lost its momentum, and even Mei Shao's slightly damp robe also evaporated slightly.

He just felt uncomfortable, but he didn't know whether this discomfort came from the sticky wet clothes on his body, or from the heart that seemed to be a bottomless abyss that could not be filled no matter what.

"Send a message to the other end and let them do it on the road."

As soon as she got in the carriage, Mei Shao spoke to Li An.

"Why did you go to Cangshu Pavilion to lose your soul? What about "Pingzhou Ji"?" Li An leaned on the cushion to rest his mind, seeing his appearance, he couldn't help but straighten up.

Mei Shao closed her eyes, sighed and said, "Most of the books were taken away by Bai Bingchen, and people can't keep them."

----

The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and Bai Bingchen couldn't sleep well for several days with the secret of the Wu clan in his heart.

As the day approached to leave for Cangzhou, the whole White Mansion became busy. For this trip, Bai Bingchen left Jiang Yan in Pingdu, and prepared to take Ning Kuan to Cangzhou.

Jiang Yan was not at ease, he kept Ning Kuan in the house for several days and asked him more, even Bai Bingchen looked at the items needed for going out, and did it himself.

The courtyard was busy and chaotic, Ji Pu carefully avoided the debris in the first courtyard with his feet on his feet, only to see Bai Bingchen who was dazed at the end of the corridor.

"Are you going to Cangzhou?" Ji Pu sat next to Bai Bingchen with the account book and asked, "The journey is hard, can your body handle it?"

Bai Bingchen smiled and didn't care: "If you don't see Jiang Yan, you will take the whole White Mansion away from me. It's only two or three months, and I can still bear it."

Seeing Ji Pu hesitate to speak, Bai Bingchen asked, "What's wrong?"

Ji Pu leaned over and lowered his voice: "Recently, I took a closer look at 'Lonely Pillow' and found that it is one of the lost incense prescriptions of the Wu Clan, but hasn't the Wu Clan disappeared long ago?"

Hearing this, Bai Bingchen raised his eyebrows: "Since it has been lost for a long time, how do you know?"

"The old man of the valley owner likes to keep these lost prescriptions privately. I have seen them secretly." Ji Pu followed his words and then realized something was wrong. The ledgers are so correct that my eyes are dazzled, and it took a lot of trouble to find someone to check the buyer of 'Lingxiao'."

"Lingxiao?"

"It's the blind medicinal material in 'Lonely Pillow'. As you know, most of the medicinal material business in Li country has to go through Jishengtang. The circulation of rare medicinal materials like 'Lingxiao' is even more obvious. In the past two years, there is only one in the south. A buyer surnamed Chu bought more, and he could almost find out the person behind the scenes by following this vine, but as soon as the ghost market incident came out, the clues were cut off."

The few key points in his words can be captured. The cold city where Mei Shao stayed for six years is also the southernmost part of the Li Kingdom. It is not far from the former site of the Wu clan written in "Pingzhou Ji". Bai Bingchen is more and more convinced that Mei Shao Shao's body is planted with golden Gu.

"I already know the person behind it, you don't need to worry about it." Bai Bingchen said softly.

"Okay, I won't interfere with your affairs."

Hearing his words, Ji Pu was relieved, even his body relaxed, and he lazily leaned against the railing: "Anyway, you always have your own ideas, and you don't want to talk to senior brother about anything. You asked me to borrow it earlier." A doctor, for several years, I don't even know what he has done for you, poor me, when I was a child, I coaxed you, hugged you and played with you every day, it's hard to guess what's on your mind, I... ..."

Seeing him babbling and pretending to be pitiful, and looking over those old things, Bai Bingchen felt a faint headache, he couldn't laugh or cry and said, "That's not what I meant, I won't let you interfere..."

Bai Bingchen's original intention was to think that although Tong Beigu is one of the four major sects in the Jianghu, he is a doctor's family after all, and his martial arts mentality is still weaker than the other schools. trouble.

But before Bai Bingchen could speak, Ji Pu's magnified face suddenly appeared in front of him: "For my poor sake, let me go to Cangzhou with you?"

I didn't expect him to detour so much, but with the idea of ​​going to Cangzhou, Bai Bingchen was speechless for a while, and then said after a while: "After checking the account books in Pingdu, you should go back to the valley of sorrow, right?"

"As a doctor, the patient is the most important thing. I don't feel relieved that you are not under my nose." Ji Pu played the rogue very well. After a while, he forced Bai Bingchen to relax.

"Jiang Yan! Pack a piece of luggage for me too. The specifications are based on the cost of your patriarch. I also want to experience the treatment of an official!"

Ji Pu rushed out a few steps, then turned back.

The courtyard was already full, and there were a few more loads of things, which looked like gift loads from a distance.

Ji Pu turned his head, followed by Jiang Yan and the housekeeper of Cao's house.

Only when he got closer did Bai Bingchen realize that Jiang Yan's face was very ugly.

The housekeeper of Cao's house bowed to Bai Bingchen and said, "Is Master Bai there? I'm here to apologize to Master Bai and Mr. Bai."

Glancing at the gift burden carried behind his back, and taking a cursory look at it as a gift from the Bai family, Bai Bingchen already guessed what it was.

"Our Ms. Cao is really too timid. She was a little irritated by the Chen family's case and she was a little out of her mind. Mr. Bai is a good-looking talent, but my lady is really unlucky. Two days ago, the master went to the manor to tell Master Bai It's over, this matter is our Cao family's fault..."

The housekeeper of the Cao Mansion spoke respectfully for a while, seeing Bai Bingchen's surprised expression, hesitantly asked, "Didn't Master Bai inform you?"

"It's not too late to know now. The Cao family didn't dislike Bai's crippled body. There's no point in blaming it. It's just that Ms. Cao's body is important. Do you need me to recommend some good doctors?"

"Thank you for your kindness. Miss Cao has already been sent to the temple by the master to recuperate. I will bring the doctor along with me. I don't need Mr. Bai to worry about it."

The housekeeper of Cao's mansion exchanged a few pleasantries, then bypassed the Bai mansion and went to the residence of Master Bai in the bamboo forest in the backyard.

"Your old man is really serious, and he won't discuss such a big matter as retiring the engagement with you." Ji Pu said coolly from the side.

Bai Bingchen didn't notice anything, anyway, he didn't have many days to live, so he felt much more relaxed without this marriage.

Jiang Yan, who was still on the side with a livid face, led the people to the gate of the Baifu to bring back a load of betrothal gifts.Although there is no place to stay in the courtyard, it can't be placed at the gate of the mansion all the time, so as to attract people passing by to probe their heads.

Against the gaze from the outside, Jiang Yan urged the boy who carried it more and more.

The private room of the teahouse is near the window, and the door of Baifu can just be seen.

Li An poked his head out, squinted his eyes for a long time, and then said: "Is that the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Cao Bai's family, who is in charge? It looks like Bai Bingchen has been divorced?"

Mei Shao, who was drinking tea, didn't talk to him, and asked: "You put your mind on others all day long, how are you doing with your own affairs? I also gave you the map of the White House, and you also I have searched, but there is no clue at all?"

"I'm curious, what kind of deal did you make with Bai Bingchen, and gave him all the jade documents to prove your identity?"

Hearing this, Li An frowned. The last time he searched the White Mansion was too hasty, almost giving away his flaws. I don't know if Bai Bingchen could see it.

"Although the days until the end of the year are still long, the date of Jiang Guoliang's coming to court has not yet been finalized, but you haven't got your things yet, so I'm afraid you'll miss a big deal." Mei Shao glanced at him frowning in embarrassment, and urged again : "Do you want my help? Maybe Bai Bingchen carried the jade document with him. When he dies in Cangzhou, maybe he can get it..."

"The jade document is not on him." Li An interrupted Mei Shao, and Zhao Yuansheng's face suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, "It is in the hands of Prince Cheng."

Mei Shao suddenly realized: "No wonder you always run to Prince Sheng's mansion recently."

With a smirk, he leaned in front of Li An who was in a daze: "Isn't it more convenient to be in Zhao Yuansheng's hands? It would be nice to just take away people and things!"
