After Jun Tingsheng's earnest persuasion, Song Baoling's heart was shaken, and she also felt that she had agreed too hastily.

Nowadays, the situation in Xianqi Kingdom is unclear, and the royal family is constantly fighting openly and secretly. She has not even completely resolved the matter between Shu Ning and Yamuna, so she may not be able to do what she wants to do if she wants to take over the imperial concubine.

After thinking about it all night, Song Baoling decided to ask Yemuqi to explain his thoughts. If he didn't agree by then, he would think of another way.

Unexpectedly, Yemuqi sent someone to deliver the gift the next day, when Song Baoling had just woken up.

"So, what did His Highness ask you to give?"

The guard put down the box in his hand and opened it in front of Song Baoling, "His Royal Highness asked his subordinates to tell Miss Song that Prince Yemu's illness has improved."

Yamuna?

Why did you mention him when you were so good? Song Baoling looked at the things in the box in confusion, and her mind suddenly cleared up the next moment.

What kind of gift? This is clearly evidence of a conspiracy to break Yemu's leg. I didn't expect Yemuqi to do such a thing.

It must be said that Yemuqi was quite smart and guessed that she might regret it, so he threatened her with this matter.

"Please go back and tell His Highness, thank you for the gift. I will definitely do what I promised."

Song Baoling lay helplessly on the table and sighed. She had known that she should have decisively refused at that time. But this time, the other party had an excuse, and she was already riding a tiger.

When Jun Tingsheng came back, he saw a scene that seemed familiar to him. He felt bad and walked quickly to her side: "What happened?"

Song Baoling pushed the box on the table forward and said in a helpless tone: "It seems that we have to help him this time."

"Well, you'd better go find out about Concubine Lou's past and see if there's anything missing."

Jun Tingsheng did not refute her anymore. After all, Yemuqi had already started to use tactics, and they had to do as he said.

On the same day, the queen suddenly sent a message asking Song Baoling to come to the palace immediately for a meeting.

"Miss Song, how does this tea taste?"

"The entrance is slightly astringent, the aftertaste is sweet, and the tea flavor is not strong. To be honest with you, the Queen, this is what I like."

After saying that, Song Baoling picked up the tea cup and took a sip. In fact, she didn't study these things very much. She just said so much to please the queen.

Sure enough, a smile suddenly appeared on the Queen's face, "I am worried that you will not be able to get used to drinking. If you like it, I will order someone to send you to the hotel soon."

"Then thank you very much, ma'am."

Then the two continued to chat, during which the queen suddenly mentioned Leng Gong unintentionally, "By the way, I heard that Miss Song appeared near Leng Gong yesterday. I wonder if it is true?"

"Leng Gong?"

Song Baoling pretended to be surprised and raised her voice. After the palace attendant looked at her, she immediately lowered her voice and explained: "Your Majesty, I was lost at the time. I didn't know that the cold palace was there."

"I see."

The queen did not give up questioning and mentioned many things about the cold palace. Song Baoling immediately pretended to be confused and didn't know anything about it.

"Excuse me for being rude, little girl. Why do you ask me, a person from another country, about the affairs of your country's cold palace?"

Seeing that Song Baoling answered so accurately, the Queen said no more. At this time, Song Baoling suddenly saw that her hand movements were a little slow and trembling slightly.

"Mom, do you occasionally experience pain in your wrists?"

"It's an old problem, and the imperial doctors still have no solution."

"My daughter knows some acupuncture techniques. If the Queen trusts her, I can use acupuncture to relieve her pain."

Before the queen could respond, the eunuch beside her, Eunuch Qing, immediately stopped her: "How can the empress's phoenix body be touched by ordinary people?"

"Besides, even the imperial doctor can't do anything. Miss Song is young, so she must be..."

Before he could finish speaking, the Queen raised her hand to signal him to shut up, "It doesn't matter, since Miss Song has brought it up, you can give it a try."

So Song Baoling gave the queen acupuncture. After a few injections, the queen suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and most of the tingling sensation dissipated.

The queen was overjoyed and immediately rewarded Song Baoling with pearls, a specialty of the country. Seeing how happy she was, Song Baoling took the opportunity to say, "It's not enough for the empress to just apply acupuncture with her hands. She also needs some precious medicinal materials to prepare it."

"The little girl wants to go to the palace to find medicinal materials for the queen. I hope the queen will give her permission."

When she heard that Song Baoling was about to leave the palace, the expression on the queen's face changed slightly, but it returned to normal in the blink of an eye.

"You are a distinguished guest of our country, and you are looking for medicine for me. Naturally, I will not refuse."

"Thank you, empress."

So Song Baoling returned to the palace to find Jun Tingsheng, and the two took this opportunity to sneak out of the palace.

Yesterday, Jun Tingsheng found out that the dead guard also had an old mother. The other party is in the city, and maybe there will be clues.

Therefore, even if the queen did not appear, Song Baoling had already planned to find an excuse to leave the palace.

"I've been here for so long, and this is the first time I've seen so many people. If I had known, I would have looked for opportunities to go out and hang out."

Song Baoling smiled and turned to look at Jun Tingsheng, but she saw him staring behind him with a serious expression. She also looked at him and reacted immediately.

"It seems like we haven't quarreled for a long time."

Jun Tingsheng looked at her for a moment, then was pushed hard the next moment, "If you don't want to accompany me so much, then just leave. Anyway, having you here will only make me angry!"

"Why are you making trouble again without reason!"

"What! You said I was being unreasonable, okay, then just leave me alone!"

After saying that, Song Baoling turned around and left angrily, and the two parted ways, each walking in the opposite direction.

Song Baoling walked quickly and got rid of the people who were following her in the blink of an eye. When she arrived at the meeting place agreed with Jun Tingsheng, she saw no one.

Is something going to happen?

"Ling'er."

Jun Tingsheng's voice sounded behind her, and Song Baoling turned around and saw him looking at her with a smile on his face.

"Your Qinggong is almost catching up with mine now, Ling'er, you really surprise me every time."

Song Baoling raised her eyebrows proudly, "Of course, I study hard whenever I have time."

Later, the two finally found the house of the guard's mother, but there was no sign of anyone living in the house.

Not long after, a fire suddenly started burning outside the house. Neither of them noticed it at first, but Song Baoling's nose was sensitive and she smelled the smell of fireworks.

"There's a fire outside."

Hearing this, Jun Tingsheng immediately pulled her to leave, but before she took a few steps, she was held back by Song Baoling.

"Look there, it's such a strange decoration."

Song Baoling broke away from him and ran to a cabinet on the wall. She held the potted plant placed on it and put a little pressure on her hands.

With a soft 'click' sound, a small door suddenly opened next to it, just big enough for one person to pass through.
