wake up from dream

"I'm looking for Bailing, is Bailing there?" After packing up her things, she went to the yard next door to have a look. Since she saw Bailing last time, she hadn't seen her again. I don't know how she is doing now?And Mo Ju, after leaving the palace, I only heard Rong Ruo say it once, and I didn't know anything about the situation after that.

"She's in the house!" A court lady who just came back said, pointing to the row of rooms.

"Which room?"

"It's the third room from the left." After saying that, the maid went back to the room.

Ziqing walked to Bailing's room, reached the door, and knocked on the door. When Bailing saw Ziqing, she was not as surprised as Ziqing imagined. Also, the news in the palace is not blocked, as long as there is a little thing When it happened, those palace maids and eunuchs would discuss in private, and the speed of news circulation was no less than modern gossip news, so when Ziqing was ordered by Kangxi to live in an independent courtyard, the people here probably had Ziqing The details are clear.

"Ziqing, I'm waiting for you, I know you will definitely come to me." Bailing said to Ziqing with a smile.

"How do you know that I will definitely come? Is it because you know that I will come to settle accounts with you and Mo Ju?" Seeing that Bai Ling behaved naturally, Zi Qing joked with her.

"Yeah! I'm just waiting for you to settle the score with me!" Bai Ling opened the door and motioned Zi Qing to enter the room.The items in the room are quite complete, but compared to Ziqing's room, it looks a little crude. The things in Ziqing's room were probably replaced with new ones by Kangxi's orders, and the layout is more elegant than ordinary palace ladies' rooms.

"How are you doing? I don't blame you and Moju, but I'm angry that you didn't tell me the truth." Bai Ling sat down and poured a glass of water for Ziqing.

"It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that one less person who knows about this matter will be more safe. Besides, you are so willing to help me and Moju, how can we drag you to a more dangerous place?" Bai Ling held in his hand. Holding the water glass and playing with it, he said.

"I heard from Cheng De about the matter between you and Mo Ju, your relationship is very pure!" Zi Qing was afraid that Bai Ling might misunderstand her meaning, so she held Bai Ling's hand and said sincerely.

"You already know? That's right, you care so much about me and Moju, but this kind of relationship has never been seen. In addition, Moju was lucky by the emperor, we were in a panic for a while, and we had to find you Come and help." Bai Ling looked at Zi Qing, and could see from her eyes that she felt a little guilty.

"Actually, I want to ask you, how did you find me? I've always been curious!" Seeing Bai Ling's ashamed expression, Zi Qing pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile.

Seeing Ziqing, Bailing really didn't blame himself and Moju, so Bailing really let go of the guilt, and said with a smile: "Actually, I just saw that the emperor treated you very special at that time, but you just entered the palace. What kind of defensiveness, I seldom communicate with other people on weekdays, and I will not tell the things about me and Moju..."

"So it's like this! It's because I'm easy to bully, isn't it?" Zi Qing pretended to blame.

"Where is it? That's not the case. It's also because I know you are a kind girl, even if you know about Moju and me, you will keep it a secret for us." After hearing Ziqing's words, she explained nervously again.

"Okay, just kidding, why are you so nervous?"

"Can I not be nervous? In the end, Moju and I deceived you, and if we don't get your forgiveness, how can we feel at ease?"

"Okay, I really don't blame you guys, are you at ease now?" Seeing that Bai Ling still looked guilty, Zi Qing couldn't tease her anymore.

"Of course it feels better, but I still have to thank you, I didn't expect you to make arrangements for Moju's affairs outside the palace."

"This is not my credit. You have to thank Chengde for going. He arranged the affairs outside the palace."

"But no matter what, if it wasn't for you, Nalan's bodyguard wouldn't know about Moju and me, so how could he help us? I still have to thank you. I'll thank Nalan's bodyguard someday." Bai Ling said with a smile.

"Well, how is Moju doing, do you know?" I thought that there must be some way for Bailing and Moju to get in touch, otherwise how Bailing would know about Moju's situation, of course it is not ruled out that Rong Ruolai will tell her , but I always feel that besides Rong Ruo, there must be someone helping them, otherwise, how can a living person be transported out of the palace in this heavily guarded palace?

"Well, I have a friend who brought me the news that Moju is doing well now, and it is safe to live in that yard, because it is not convenient for Moju to show her face, so Nalan's guards found her a maid, and she is here If you embroider some embroidery in the yard and ask the maids to sell it, you won’t have to rely on Nalan’s guards to make ends meet.”

"Well, she will be able to go out after a while. It's better to avoid it now, so as not to cause complications. Now you have to wait until you are 25 to leave the palace?"

"Yes! There are still six years left! However, I can still find a chance to go out of the palace to meet Mo Ju. We are all orphans, without father and mother, and only the two of us depend on each other." Bai Ling said His life experience was a little sad on his face.

"Are you all orphans?" You are all orphans, so it's no wonder that you will do anything for love. After all, there is no family bondage, and there will be a lot of scruples in this age, otherwise you have to think carefully about whether you will do anything. It will implicate the family's honor, life, and interests.But on the other hand, how difficult it is to grow up without the protection of a family since childhood!

"Well, we knew each other when we first entered the palace, and we have always supported each other like sisters, sharing blessings and difficulties together, and later, we fell in love with each other unknowingly. At the beginning, We were also suffering, and felt that we could not go on, so we decided not to meet each other except when necessary, and forced ourselves to love a man, but...we still can't do it..." Bai Ling shook his head and clenched his teeth said the lips.

"So how did it become the brave love it is now?" In this era, homosexuality is no stranger in the palace, where the yin and yang are clearly in decline, and only the emperor is a man. Although the eunuch is originally a man, after purifying, The masculine characteristics will become weaker and weaker until they disappear, so eunuchs cannot be called men in a complete sense.And the imperial palace is a place where people can taste the warmth and coldness of human feelings and the coldness of the world, so any relationship, whether it is friendship, family affection, even same-sex love, is particularly precious.

"Hehe...we couldn't bear the lovesickness. We could see each other, but we couldn't meet each other. At that time, we found the eunuch and planned to have a couple. We didn't want to see each other, but we forced ourselves to see each other. Later, I really couldn't take it anymore, so I gave up altogether. Anyway, Moju and I are both orphans. Even if we are together, no one will stop us. As long as we don't care about the worldly vision, it will be fine when we both come out. After entering the palace, we will be called sisters. We are together every day, how can others see? It's just that that day and night, Moju was serving the night watch in front of the imperial court. Originally, the emperor sent everyone away, drinking alone in the palace, and Moju Ju is already on the way back, but Moju lost the straw rope I gave her, and when I went back to look for it, I met the drunken emperor... that's why something happened."

"Is the emperor drunk? How could the emperor..." It stands to reason that Kangxi has always been very rational, how could he be drunk that day?

"Yeah, I also find it strange that the emperor had nothing unusual that day, but at night he drank alone and dismissed everyone! I heard from Mo Ju that at that time, the emperor He kept chanting a name, but he couldn't make out what he was saying? Maybe he thought Mo Ju was that woman?" Bai Ling looked at Zi Qing quietly and said.

"Name? Sigh! Don't worry about these things, anyway, we don't care about the emperor's affairs, as long as you are all fine." Could it be Rou Jia?

"Well, by the way, what happened to you a while ago... are you okay?" Only then did Bai Ling remember that Zi Qing was punished to kneel.

"It's all right, it just happened to be raining, and I got the wind and cold, and now I'm all right." Zi Qing said to Bai Ling with a smile.

"Ah That's good."

On the way back, Ziqing kept thinking why Kangxi was so abnormal that night?Could it be related to Roujia?I still remember that time, when Kangxi said to himself, for his own sake, he hadn't touched a woman in the palace for a long time, it could be that the concubine in the palace was unwilling to be lonely...did Kangxi drug it?However, isn't everything presented to Kangxi subject to inspection?Can this medicine not be detected?And which concubine is so bold and dares to do such a thing?Aren't you afraid that Kangxi will settle accounts after autumn?The majesty of the emperor, is it possible for a woman to trample on it?From Bai Ling's words, it can also be seen that Bai Ling felt that something was wrong with this incident, but it happened that Kangxi didn't pursue what happened that night, and gave Mo Ju a chance to escape. Even if he remembered, Rong Ruo also reported to Mo Ju The news of falling into the water and dying, probably will just let it go, right?
