Chapter 141 Stop Focusing on Me
Chapter 141 Stop focusing on me
As time passed, Song Baoling's hand holding the jade pendant began to feel a little sore, but Concubine Leng still had no intention of accepting it.
The atmosphere became solemn because of this. Seeing this, Song Baochai had no choice but to persuade: "It's rare for Ling'er to have such thoughts. My sister thinks that this jasper moon pattern jade pendant matches my sister very well. Why don't you just accept it?"
Hearing this, Concubine Leng glanced sideways and scolded: "My sister has been in the palace for so long, and she really hasn't learned any rules."
"This is a reward given to her by the Queen Mother. If I take it, it will definitely make the Queen Mother angry. My sister just wants to see my joke!"
Song Baochai was so scolded by her that she shivered with fear. After seeing Song Baoling's eyes, she pretended to be uncomfortable and held the corner of the table.
Seeing that she was about to fall, Song Baoling hurriedly shouted: "Come here quickly, Concubine Song is not feeling well. Go and call the imperial doctor quickly."
Concubine Leng couldn't tell if they were acting, but Song Baochai was currently pregnant with the Holy Emperor's heir. If something really happened, she would definitely be implicated here.
"Since my sister is not feeling well, I won't bother you anymore and will come to visit another day."
After saying that, Concubine Leng stood up and left, not caring about the pale Song Baochai beside her.
Seeing Concubine Leng leave to avoid suspicion, Song Baoling finally breathed a sigh of relief. She turned around and was about to check on Song Baochai, but she scolded her: "It's all your fault for offending Concubine Leng, and now you've made me implicated as well."
Song Baoling saw that she was very angry, so he lowered his attitude and apologized: "It is true that I have caused trouble to the empress. To express my apology, I hope the empress can accept this jade pendant."
"If I get good things again in the future, I will definitely not forget my love for you, and I hope you won't worry about what happened today."
Looking at the emerald green jade pendant, Song Baochai's eyes seemed to shine, and he took it without thinking.
"As expected of the Queen Mother, the things usually used as gifts are rare. Such a fine jade pendant is the most suitable for me to wear."
Song Baochai held the jade pendant on his body and made signs, completely forgetting what happened just now, and no longer argued with Song Baoling.
At night, Song Baoling sleepwalked again, but this time she walked to the cold palace in her dream, as if she was being controlled by someone.
"Ling'er?"
Jun Tingsheng was dressed in black and hid in the dark night. When he saw Song Baoling walking forward unconsciously, he immediately showed up and kidnapped him.
There were patrolling guards everywhere in the palace anytime and anywhere. In order to avoid being discovered and frightening Song Baoling, Jun Tingsheng had no choice but to take her to the roof.
"Linger, be good, close your eyes and go to sleep. I will always be with you..."
Jun Tingsheng's voice was very soft, and he guided patiently. After a while, Song Baoling fell asleep in his arms.
The wind was a bit cold at night, and although Jun Tingsheng had been protecting Song Baoling, she still caught the cold after that night.
It was getting slightly brighter now, and Song Baochai was helped by the palace maids to wash and dress up. But at this moment, she suddenly noticed that Song Baoling seemed to have not returned home all night.
"Has any of you seen Song Baoling?"
"Back to your Majesty, the servants have not seen the Lord of Jinling County since they served your Majesty to sleep last night."
Hearing this, Song Baochai confirmed her suspicion. After dressing up, she immediately went to find Song Baoling. However, when she arrived at Bieyuan, she saw Song Baoling sitting by the stove boiling medicine.
"You, how could you..."
Song Baoling looked at her with confusion, "I'm preparing anti-fetal medicine for your Majesty. I wonder what your Majesty's orders are here?"
"You got up early to help me prepare medicine?"
"Yes, this medicine pays great attention to the heat, and the brewing time is a little longer, so I started preparing it before dawn."
Although Song Baoling explained in an orderly manner, Song Baochai still had doubts. Before arriving, she asked the eunuch who was watching the night and confirmed that Song Baoling had left last night, but she did not know when he would return.
"I would like to remind you, don't put your thoughts on me anymore. The most important thing for you right now is to protect your pregnancy."
Song Baoling looked at her with burning eyes and continued: "If anything goes wrong with the imperial heir in your belly, you and I will suffer. I think your Majesty must also know this in her heart."
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Song Baochai's mentality immediately changed.
"You are right, at least until I give birth to the prince safely, we are indeed on the same boat."
Seeing Song Baochai's back leaving triumphantly, Song Baoling couldn't help but cough a few times. When she woke up this morning, she felt cold all over. It must have been due to the cold she caught last night.
This is a critical time, and she must not get sick, otherwise trouble will surely follow.
Jingren Palace——
"Mother, the tea is ready."
The queen looked at the tea placed in front of her by the palace maid, and Song Baoling's words echoed in her mind again, but this tea... should she drink it?
"cousin!"
A sudden shout interrupted the queen's thoughts. She looked up at the door and saw Jin Wanlin running in with excitement on her face.
"Cousin, I have good news to tell you, it's about Song Baoling."
Upon hearing this name, the queen's expression suddenly changed, and she turned to look at the personal maid: "You all go down, I will talk to Wan Lin for a while."
"Yes, empress."
After everyone in the palace retreated, the expression on the queen's face instantly turned serious, "Wanlin, now that you are almost a woman, why are you still so reckless in doing things?"
"Did you know that Song Baoling was personally appointed the Princess of Jinling County by the Holy Master? Now she is temporarily living in Baohua Palace. If you talk about this person again in the future, you need to be careful."
Jin Wanlin didn't think so much at first. After being reminded like this, she knew that she had done something wrong and apologized quickly: "I'm sorry, cousin, I was just too excited at the moment. I will remember it in the future."
Seeing her sincere attitude in admitting her mistake, the Queen stopped blaming her and said, "Tell me, what happened to Song Baoling to deserve your excitement?"
"Cousin, I found out that Song Baoling had been to the medicine pool during the wine tasting banquet that day, and things were not at all what she said."
Jin Wanlin paused here, and then took out a handkerchief embroidered with peach blossoms, "A palace maid picked this up outside the medicine pool that day. I have sent someone to inquire, and this handkerchief belongs to Song Baoling."
"I also asked the guards guarding the backyard. They heard some movement in the medicine pool, but before they could check it, they were lured away by a woman in a dress, so the tiger was released."
"From this point of view, Song Baoling was clearly lying that day. I'm afraid she was not as simple as she seemed."
A trace of surprise flashed across the Queen's face. She originally thought that Song Baoling was just a young girl who was inexperienced in the world, but judging from the events of the past few days, Song Baoling was indeed as intelligent as the Holy One said.
If you can pull this person into the camp, you will undoubtedly have a brave and resourceful strategist. In the future, you will no longer have to worry about his status in the harem or his heirs.
