After being a widow, the empress dowager was favored by the powerful ministers

Chapter 120 Sheng Baoling's Worries
That night, when Sheng Baoling was packing her bags at the inn, Pei Ci entered the room and wanted to ask her if she needed help, but saw that in the bags she brought, except for a change of clothes, the rest were not hidden weapons or daggers. Just some bottles and cans and paper packets.

Pei Ci was a little surprised, thinking that when a woman travels far away, she will always bring some things that the woman needs.

But Sheng Baoling's luggage didn't look like a woman at all.

"These are?" Pei Ci asked curiously, pointing to those bottles and paper bags.

Sheng Baoling didn't intend to hide from Pei Ci at all, and replied naturally, "It's medicine, poison or something."

She specially asked for it from the old doctor Liang.

Pei Ci: "..."

Pei Ci looked at those bottles and cans, and it was hard to imagine that Sheng Baoling brought these because he was so worried about this trip.

But since you are not at ease, why do you want to come with him?

Pei Ci still couldn't understand this point.

"Why did you bring so many?" Pei Ci asked.

Sheng Baoling took out the bottles and jars inside, and replied, "I don't know how the situation is going along the way, it's better to bring more."

While talking, she glanced at Pei Ci slightly, could she say that these are all prepared for you?
In this business, the medicines she prepared were all prepared by Imperial Physician Liang for Pei Ci's situation, and these poisons were all for self-defense.

Pei Ci nodded slightly, "Clean up first, and have dinner downstairs later."

With that said, he turned and left the house.

Sheng Baoling watched Pei Ci go away, then took out the dagger from the bag to play with, checked it, and after confirming that it was correct, put it in his arms, and took a few hidden weapons and poison bags on him.

After putting everything on him, he went downstairs with peace of mind.

When she went downstairs, Pei Ci had been waiting in the dining hall downstairs for a long time, but the food on the table was freshly served and was still steaming.

She walked forward slowly, and when she reached the table, her eyes fell on the meals on the table, and she found that these dishes were all she was used to eating on weekdays, and two of them were her favorite.

Sheng Baoling was a little dazed, "Did you order these?"

When she asked this question, Pei Ci was overwhelmed, and she replied after a long while, "It's a bit more out of the ordinary, it is said that it was recommended by the waiter in the store."

While Pei Ci was talking, he looked at the guard Li Sheng who was guarding the side dutifully.

Sheng Baoling also naturally followed Pei Ci to look at Li Sheng. This guard seemed to have followed Pei Ci all the time, and was also the one who escorted her back to the palace since she first left the palace to Pei's residence.

Someone who knows her true identity.

It seems that Pei Ci trusts this guard very much, but he only found out today that this person is called Li Sheng.

Li Sheng didn't expect to be said so suddenly by his own adults, he was stunned for a while, and then agreed, "It was said by the waiter."

But in fact, he didn't know about it at all, what kind of shop waiter.

Just now he has been following the lord, seeing with his own eyes the lord ordered the waiter to prepare these few dishes, two of which were not in the shop, and the lord added some money, so the shop made them.

However, the empress dowager asked, why did my lord push it on me?
Li Sheng was confused.

On the surface, Sheng Baoling seemed to believe Pei Ci's words, and even Pei Ci thought that Sheng Baoling believed his own words.

But in fact, she stayed on Pei Ci from the corner of her eye all the time, with scrutiny and doubt in her eyes, she obviously didn't believe Pei Ci's words, Cai Lisheng's reaction just now was a little surprised at all, as if she didn't expect Pei Ci to be like this explain.

Sheng Baoling's thin lips curled up subconsciously. These meals were all ordered by Pei Ci.

But, what happened to Pei Ci, why did he know that he was used to eating these things?

He seems to know his preferences very clearly, and he knows his eating habits very well.

This meal once again aggravated Pei Ci's suspicion in Sheng Baoling's heart.

At this time, Pei Ci never expected that his thoughtfulness would make Sheng Baoling doubt him.

Just watching Sheng Baoling eat a lot, he was also very happy, and he was also happy in his heart, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly unconsciously.

Li Sheng on the side looked at the moment when Pei Ci laughed, and his heart skipped a beat. Could it be that your lord is treating the empress dowager?
He had some bad premonition in his heart.

This is the empress dowager, not someone else's girl, so it is impossible for her identity, what is your lord thinking in his heart, is it because of the empress dowager who is not married yet?
What about the empress dowager, this time my lord is going south, the journey is bound to be dangerous, but she followed me. Could it be that the empress dowager also has intentions for my lord?

Li Sheng looked at the two masters in front of him, and all of a sudden, his sense of uneasiness intensified.

At this time, when I looked at the two of them again, besides uneasiness, there was also regret.

That night, Sheng Baoling was lying on the couch without any sleepiness, thinking about what might happen in this industry, it might be an ambush assassination, or it might be an assassin pretending to be a refugee and triggering a riot. Everything is possible.

She must not take it lightly.

Sheng Baoling thought about it, but felt a little sleepy, and fell asleep after a while.

In a daze, she returned to the original dream.

Encountered in an ambush, Pei Ci was seriously injured, his condition relapsed, and he fell into a coma. She took him to the trailer step by step, until she found a village with people, and then she found a foothold.

Although the doctor in the village was not skilled in medicine, he simply helped Pei Ci treat his injuries and prescribed a few life-saving medicines handed down from his ancestors.

It's just that the medicinal materials are on the steep mountain, no one is willing to pick them, and because the money on his body was lost when he fled, Sheng Baoling could only go up the mountain to collect medicinal materials according to the doctor's description.

It happened to be a rainy day and the mountain road was slippery. She slipped down a small hill and hurt her leg, but because of this, she found the so-called life-saving medicine.

She took care of Pei Ci for a few days, and when the guards arrived, it was already ten days later.

But it's safe anyway.

It was still dawn, and Sheng Baoling woke up from her dream. She couldn't fall asleep anymore, so she simply packed up, got up and went outside, and as soon as she opened the door, Li Sheng, who had been guarding outside her door, was alarmed.

She was a little surprised, "Why don't you guard outside your lord's door?"

Li Sheng replied truthfully, "My lord ordered my subordinates last night to go south and stay by your side."

The safety of the Empress Dowager is even more important.

Sheng Baoling frowned, she naturally knew that Pei Ci asked Lisheng to come to her side because Lisheng was the only one who knew her identity, and if others came to her side, they would inevitably be noticed.

But if Li Sheng is by his side, where is Pei Ci?

"You come to me, what about your family, is there someone guarding?"

Li Sheng: "My lord is surrounded by other people to protect me."

Only then did Sheng Baoling feel a little relieved.

Li Sheng looked at Sheng Baoling, recalling what happened yesterday, he hesitated to speak
