Kangxi nodded slightly and said, "So that's how it is."

But after the sentence "so it is", there is no more text.Jiang Ling waited at the same place for a while, but when he could not wait for Emperor Kangxi's words, he quietly raised his head and took a look.After a glance, he saw that Emperor Kangxi was also looking back at him with a faint smile in his eyes.

— It was that kind of laugh again.

Jiang Ling's heart skipped a beat, and the uneasiness that had been suppressed slowly rose again.She squeezed her palms, managed to maintain a calm face, looked away a little, looked at a big pillar in the gazebo, and silently counted one, two, three...

After counting to 39, Emperor Kangxi let out a deep laugh and said, "Let's go."

Manager Liang sighed, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and hurriedly followed.

The footsteps of Emperor Kangxi and Chief Manager Liang gradually faded away, and the surrounding guards also left in twos and threes.Jiang Ling breathed a sigh of relief, leaning his back on a big pillar, pressing his chest, his face gradually turned pale, and slowly regained his former calm.

Fortunately, the emperor has already left, so I can't see her at this time.

Jiang Ling closed his eyes, put all those uneasy emotions behind him, and walked slowly back to the wing.It's not that she doesn't know how unfathomable Emperor Kangxi is. Since the first day she saw Kangxi, she has never understood Kangxi's every move.But she made up her mind to run away. No matter how unfathomable and elusive Emperor Kangxi was, she would have nothing to do with her in a short time.

What Kangxi said just now, she could barely think that it was his whim.

Otherwise, she couldn't think of any reason to explain Kangxi's actions just now.

Jiang Ling didn't want to think about those deeper reasons, because they were too ridiculous.As an emperor, and an emperor who came to the throne at a young age and regained his power under the watchful eye of powerful officials, every word and every action of Kangxi must be carefully thought out, otherwise it would be impossible to survive in the court surrounded by tigers and wolves.How could such an emperor...

indulge.

And indulgence for no reason.

--how can that be?

Jiang Ling returned to the wing room, wrung out the silk scarf with cold water, and wiped his face vigorously, trying to clear his mind.

She remembered the scene when the guards cleared the place just now, so she went outside, stopped a young novice, and asked him if he had ever seen a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl with a younger maid.The little novice clasped his hands together, recited the Buddha's mantra, and said, "The benefactor is talking about Donor Lin? Just now, the little monk saw Donor Lin leaving the Buddhist temple and was picked up by a carriage."

Jiang Ling thought to himself that it should be the carriage of Rongguo Mansion, so he asked, "What does that carriage look like?"

The little novice recalled for a moment, carefully described the appearance of the carriage, and deliberately emphasized that there was a small word Jia engraved on the carriage, which caused the brothers at the gate of the temple to discuss for a long time, because Jia's mansion used to be a big gold medalist in the temple. host.

Hearing this, Jiang Ling was completely relieved.Since Lin Daiyu was picked up by Jia's carriage, it meant she was safe.She thanked the little novice monk, folded her hands together and recited the Buddha's name, then went back to the wing room and continued to copy Buddhist scriptures for the queen mother.

There was no one in the wing room, only a green lamp was lit, and an inkstone was full of ink.

Jiang Ling sat back in front of the case, took a pen and paper in his hand, and copied the scriptures stroke by stroke as he did in the morning.When the hour gradually crossed the time mark, a young novice came over with dinner and said, "The empress dowager was so fascinated by the evening class that she forgot the time. If you have copied the Buddhist scriptures, you might as well take them with you." Send it to the Buddha."

Those little novice monks didn't know Jiang Ling's rank, so they simply called her empress or benefactor.

Jiang Ling thanked the little novice, and neatly piled up more than 40 copied Buddhist scriptures on the desk, pressed them with a paperweight, and wrote a letter to Lin Daiyu.Since the Queen Mother won't be back in a short time, it's better for her to take a little time off.In the letter, she told Lin Daiyu to be careful, but the wording was quite cryptic (to prevent others from peeping).After writing it, he sealed it with sealing varnish, found a young novice outside, and asked him or his brothers to go back to Jia's mansion and bring this letter to Lin Daiyu.

Jiang Ling knew that Jia's mansion would invite eminent monks to give lectures in the mansion every three to five days.

When the little novice received the letter, Jiang Ling clasped his hands together to express his thanks, and offered some rewards, but unfortunately the little novice refused to accept it.

After stealing for a while, after finishing writing the letter, Jiang Ling went back to the wing room, picked up a pen and continued to copy Buddhist scriptures.This time, she copied more than ten sheets before she heard the footsteps of the queen mother returning to her room.

The Empress Dowager's face was a little tired, but she couldn't hide her joy, thinking that coming to the evening classes of those eminent monks gave her great comfort.When she saw the pile of Buddhist scriptures on the desk, the queen mother was surprised at first, and then gave Jiang Ling an approving look.Jiang Ling rubbed his sore arm, stood up, and stood quietly on one side.The Empress Dowager picked up those Buddhist scriptures and flipped through them page by page. The admiration in her eyes deepened every time she turned a page. When she looked at Jiang Ling again, she was already looking at a plate of extremely delicious delicacies. It's very weird.

Although Jiang Ling was a little confused, he still stood quietly, unmoved.

The queen mother smiled and asked: "What rank is your Ama now? The second rank? Or the second rank?"

Huh?Huh huh?

How did the topic turn from the Buddhist scriptures to "how high is her Ama an official?" Jiang Ling blinked and recalled the rank of the Daotai master.But she didn't know anything about these, so she could only report the name of the official position, and then answered truthfully that she didn't know what rank of official it was.

The queen mother smiled, and looked at Jiang Ling's eyes, it was more like a plate of delicious delicacies - and it was the kind that was about to put chopsticks on.

Jiang Ling became more and more puzzled, but the Queen Mother didn't give her time to think. She sat in front of the desk and copied the Buddhist scriptures for a while, and then let Jiang Ling take a rest.Jiang Ling did as he did, and blew out the Buddha lamp again, then walked outside the wing room, looked at the bright moonlight in the night sky, and meditated silently.

Thinking about it carefully, my nominal adoptive father has been stable in recent years.

So the problem is not with the adoptive father, but with himself.

Then why did the queen mother ask her father what grade of official it was?It's not about choosing... Jiang Ling's face turned pale, and cold sweat dripped down his face.She took a few steps back to the wing next door, and began to pour cold water on her head and body.Fortunately, Jiang Ling was going to worship the Buddha today, so she was plain, poured a large basin of cold water, and there was nothing unusual except that her whole body was cold.

Drops of cold water slid down her cheeks, and while she gritted her teeth and shivered from the cold, her mind became more and more awake.

Kangxi just behaved a bit strangely, but what the queen mother said just now——

It is to roast her on the fire.

Jiang Ling didn't know at all what kind of action he had made the empress dowager think so.But now in Jiang Ling's eyes, the Empress Dowager's alert level has soared to the highest level, far above Kangxi and the Empress Dowager.She poured some cold water on herself, wore wet clothes, and blew the cool wind under the window for most of the night, until it was close to the early morning, and she fell asleep for a while.

In Jiang Ling's memory, after such a toss, he must have a bad cold the next day.

Then she could develop into a serious illness and die suddenly.

But the problem is...Jiang Ling looked at herself alive and kicking the next day, her complexion was rosy, her complexion was as usual, and even the dark circles under the eyes that must have been seen after staying up all night were gone, and she belatedly remembered that she had used a special Phytohormones have changed your physique.

So now, due to her own strong immunity, wanting to catch a bad cold is wishful thinking.

Jiang Ling patted her forehead annoyedly, changed into clean clothes, wiped her hair, tied them up again, washed up and had some breakfast before returning to the Empress Dowager's room and called her to get up.

The queen mother is getting old, and she was tired yesterday, so she slept until nearly [-] o'clock.Because there are no female officials here, Jiang Ling can only serve.Jiang Ling glanced at the table and saw a neat stack of Buddhist scriptures, with a total of sixty or seventy pages.

According to this speed, they will be able to leave for the palace tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Since the Queen Mother's attitude changed last night, Jiang Ling didn't know whether it would be better for him to stay here or go back to the palace.She could only copy Buddhist scriptures for the queen mother, while thinking of other ways to pretend to be sick (at least to turn her face a little gray), and unconsciously copied more than 20 pages.

In the afternoon of that day, Lin Daiyu wrote back a letter to her.

Jiang Ling picked a good day yesterday, and it happened that today the eminent monk in the temple was going to Rongguo Mansion to perform a ritual, so he brought the letter to Lin Daiyu.After Lin Daiyu received the letter, she quickly sent her another letter and asked the eminent monk to bring it back.

In the letter, Lin Daiyu complied with her words, and presented a lot of flower petals and flower dew, which seemed to be picked just now, and it is said that using too much is good for the body.And the reason for "it is said that using too much is good for your health" is that my health has improved day by day in the past two years. Not only have my stubborn illnesses disappeared, but even some small headaches or fevers are rare.Jiang Ling couldn't help smiling when he thought of his troubles last night.

Where is it because of those petals, it is obviously because of the half bottle of plant hormones.

Either way, getting better is always a good thing.Although now Jiang Ling hopes that he is in poor health.

After reading Lin Daiyu's letter, Jiang Ling burned it and went back to the wing to copy Buddhist scriptures for the queen mother.

The Empress Dowager did not go to listen to the monk's lecture today, but lazily leaned on the soft pillow, flipping through the Buddhist scriptures that Jiang Ling had copied page by page, and looked at Jiang Ling from time to time, with even weirder eyes.It's not only like looking at a plate of delicacies, but also like looking at a rare jade.

Jiang Ling had no choice but to speed up the copying.

Since the Empress Dowager stayed in the wing to rest, she could not reply to Lin Daiyu's letter. She could only reply a copy of the Buddhist scriptures she copied herself, indicating that she had received the letter, so that Lin Daiyu could feel at ease.It took more than a day to copy and write like this.

For more than a day, Jiang Ling tried all the available methods, including but not limited to taking a cold shower, going back to take a cold shower after running profusely, and being exposed to the hot sun for half a day without eating breakfast. Not drinking water, going to the three-meter-high steps and falling down on purpose, rushing to find the eminent monk for the queen mother, and then accidentally bumping into a tree... But it was useless at all, except for a slight redness on the forehead In addition, she has no symptoms of cold, fever, heat stroke, cramps, dislocation, concussion, etc.

If she didn't even have a slight symptom, she couldn't make a serious illness on her own.

Jiang Ling stroked his forehead, and even the slight redness slowly disappeared.She thought to herself, since her physique is so good, she can only use her trump card.But the trump card hurts a lot—forget it, how can you get sick without pain, since you have to pretend to be sick, it's better to pretend to be a little bit.

So the next day, when Jiang Ling and the Queen Mother were returning to the palace, the stone on the road suddenly startled the horse, and Jiang Ling fell off, and the horse's hoof stepped firmly on her body.

Jiang Ling got his wish and got seriously ill, oh no, he was seriously injured.
