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

Chapter 136
Sheng Baoling listened to Pei Ci's exhortation, and felt very heartwarming.

She smiled, "Well, I worried you today."

On the side, Li Sheng, who was being punished, raised his eyes slightly, and looked at the two people in front of him from the corner of his eye, but his eyes were a little obvious, and Pei Ci noticed it all at once.

Seeing that Pei Ci was naked, Li Sheng was confused.

The empress dowager is here, is it so natural for your lord?
Pei Ci nodded slightly, and turned his gaze to Li Sheng, who happened to meet Li Sheng's peeking gaze.

Before the former had any reaction, the latter looked away guiltily and hung on the ground.

Pei Ci frowned, but he didn't say anything.

On the contrary, Sheng Baoling noticed the behavior of these two people, and the corners of his mouth hooked up, a little like a smile, but he couldn't say anything at this time.

At this moment, she realized that she was facing Pei Ci right now, and Pei Ci was not wearing any upper body because he was bandaging the wound just now.

I didn't have the nerve to look more, but I couldn't help casting my eyes, but I was afraid that Pei Ci would find out. In the end, I felt guilty and could only say, "You are injured today, so I won't disturb your rest."

As she spoke, she stepped up and walked outside.

I'm afraid that if I stay for a while longer, I can't help but want to take a second look.

And Pei Ci didn't notice the situation at all, and didn't seem to care about the fact that he didn't have anything on his upper body.

Seeing that Sheng Baoling was about to leave, he still wanted to say something, and stretched out his hand to grab her, but he was worried that Li Sheng would be here, and his mind cleared up a little, but he didn't make a move after all.

He only watched Sheng Baoling push open the door and walk outside, and he didn't come back until the door was closed from the outside, and sat down at the table.

But at this time, Li Sheng was still kneeling.

Pei Ci said in a deep voice, "Still not getting up?"

Li Sheng hesitated for a moment before standing up while supporting the ground.

Pei Ci looked at Li Sheng, holding a teacup in his hand, "Do you know where I went wrong?"

Li Sheng replied immediately, "This subordinate knows his mistake."

On weekdays, Pei Ci would stop here and stop asking, but now, he said again, "Tell me what's wrong."

Li Sheng was startled, apparently he did not expect Pei Ci to ask such a question.

He pursed his thin lips tightly, and didn't reply for a while, as if he was thinking about how many mistakes he had made.

In the end, when Pei Ci's eyes were completely cold, he felt a little uneasy, "This subordinate left his post without permission and failed to stay by the empress dowager's side all the time, so the empress dowager left the posthouse alone."

He thought about everything that happened today, and in the end, he could only think that he was wrong here.

It was because he didn't think carefully at the time, although the post house has officers and soldiers in charge, it is safe, but the duty of these officers and soldiers is to protect the safety of the adults, and no one here knows the identity of the empress dowager. It's important.

If there were mobs, no one in the post house would protect the Empress Dowager.

But at this moment, he figured it out, and was afraid for a while.

If something happened to the Empress Dowager today, I am afraid that I would have lost my head at this moment, so why would I stand here and admit my mistake in front of the adults and receive the punishment.

Pei Ci pursed his thin lips tightly, without saying a word.

But Lisheng knew what to do next.

...

In the next few days, Pei Ci went out, always taking Sheng Baoling with him, opening warehouses to release food, practicing medicine in clinics, and many things piled up together, while still investigating the main reason for such a serious disaster.

And no matter where the investigation was conducted, the rumors and evidence all pointed to the Pinglehou Mansion in the end.

After receiving the news from the secret guard, Sheng Baoling wanted to go to Pinglehou's mansion to inquire again, but what made her embarrassed was that since she was punished last time, Lisheng had been following her inseparably.

Stay close.

Sheng Baoling frowned, "You don't have to always follow me so closely."

This should go to the latrine, and it always has to go, right?
At the end of the day, she hadn't seen Li Sheng go to the latrine, and she was afraid that he would have something wrong with him.

However, this kind of worry is somewhat unspeakable.

Li Sheng had a serious face, and replied in a deep voice, "The duty of this subordinate is to protect you. Wherever you go, this subordinate will go there."

Stay close.

Sheng Baoling was helpless, this child was probably frightened by Pei Ci that day.

However, since he wants to follow, just follow.

"I'm going out for a while. If you want to follow, you can change into this clothes." Sheng Baoling said, and handed the clothes he had prepared to Li Sheng.

Li Sheng took a look at it, the clothes were a little worn out and a little too small, although he was suspicious, but these were all the master's business, how could he bother to ask, so he didn't ask any further, just hugged the clothes and walked away in silence Change in the dark.

After a while, he changed his clothes. On the other hand, Sheng Baoling took a long time to change his clothes. He turned his fair face into black and white. At this moment, he really couldn't see his true face. up.

Li Sheng was obviously taken aback, he didn't expect Sheng Baoling to ruin his face like this.

If she wasn't the only one in this room, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to recognize her at the moment.

However, soon, he calmed down, reacted as usual, and no longer felt strange.

Seeing Li Sheng's series of reactions, Sheng Baoling ticked his mouth, "Let's go."

Even Li Sheng was almost recognized by others, and naturally others would not be able to recognize him, so it was considered safe.

I didn't see Ping Lehou last time, this time, I want to see if I can find a chance to get close to him, to find out for a while, and then see how Ping Lehou is.

Although she already had a guess in her heart, she guessed it in her heart, but what she saw with her eyes was really different, and she always had to take a look to figure it out.

To punish Lehou's crime, it would obviously not be so easy if there was a little emperor behind him. In this case, it is difficult to preserve such evidence, so it is better to leave a witness like himself.

Sheng Baoling had such a calculation in mind.

When she brought Li Sheng to the back door of Pinglehou's Mansion, Li Sheng was obviously stunned for a moment and didn't react, but he also recognized where this place was, and he frowned, "You want to go in?"

Sheng Baoling nodded as a matter of course, "You can just sneak in, if you don't want to go in, you can wait for me outside."

This Pinglehou Mansion seems to be crowded and heavily guarded, but in fact, they are all leaving their posts without authorization, drinking, guessing, and having fun. It is too easy to sneak in.

It's also because Marquis Pingle has been Anyi for too long, doing such unreasonable things, but he didn't strengthen the management of the mansion. This is why a few skilled thieves broke in and took his life, I'm afraid it would be a piece of cake.

How could Lisheng allow Sheng Baoling to enter the Pinglehou mansion alone.

He guessed that Sheng Baoling wanted to sneak in, but it was not easy to sneak into the Pinglehou Mansion. After all, last night he heard the adults and the county magistrate discussing how to go to Pinglehou Mansion today to find out information.
