Chapter 139 Did You Go the Wrong Way?

Since that day when Song Baoling told her about the conflict between aromatherapy and tea, the queen never came to see her again, and she was safe with Song Baochai every day.

On this day, Song Baoling accompanied Song Baochai to the garden, and when he was about to leave and return to the palace, he met Concubine Leng who came to enjoy the flowers together.

"Ling'er has met Concubine Leng."

Song Baoling saluted respectfully, she had learned a lot of palace rules in the palace these few days, and Song Baochai's attitude towards her had changed a lot.

Concubine Leng glanced at her lightly, and said with a light smile: "Master Jingling doesn't need to be so formal, now you are a celebrity in front of the Holy Majesty, maybe I will need your help to speak well in front of the Holy Majesty in the future."

"Your Majesty is serious. Your Majesty has always treated Your Majesty sincerely. Why do you need Ling'er's help?"

"That's true."

Concubine Leng did not embarrass herself as expected, which made Song Baoling feel a little strange, but thinking that Jun Tingsheng had said that she had a huge power behind her, he became more vigilant.

Song Baochai stood aside and looked at the two of them, for some reason, she was a little afraid of Concubine Leng from the bottom of her heart, and rarely interacted with her after entering the palace.

"Maybe I was a little tired from shopping just now, don't blame my sister, my sister has returned to the palace first."

Saying that, Song Baochai told Song Baoling again, "Ling'er, I think my sister likes you very much, so you can stay and talk with her, I will go back first."

Song Baoling saw that her complexion was indeed not very good, so he nodded obediently. After she left, Concubine Leng also suddenly found an excuse to leave.

Thinking of what happened recently, Song Baoling felt that it was not safe to be alone, so he planned to return to Baohua Palace as soon as possible.

On the way, a court lady blocked Song Baoling's way, "Master Jingling, the queen mother wants to see you, please go with the maidservant."

Song Baoling immediately left with her when she heard the words. The empress had previously explained that she could not tell other people about the aromatherapy and tea, but she didn't know that "other people" did not include the empress dowager.

At this moment, Song Baoling raised his head and looked forward, but suddenly realized that this was not the way to the Empress Dowager's bedroom.

"Did we go the wrong way? Here..."

Just halfway through speaking, Song Baoling suddenly heard footsteps behind her, and she was picked up by someone just as she turned her head.

"Who are you? Let me down!"

The man ran forward quickly as if he didn't hear it, and the little maid just now disappeared. Song Baoling found that the man was walking towards the well, and fear suddenly rose in his heart.

"Let go of her!"

Jun Tingsheng's voice suddenly sounded, and Song Baoling was thrown to the ground before she could see it clearly. Only then did she realize that the man was wearing eunuch's clothes.

"Linger!"

Jun Tingsheng yelled, and Song Baoling, who heard the sound, saw a figure rushing towards him, and subconsciously rolled to the side. When she straightened up, she saw the little eunuch fell into the well.

She stared blankly at this scene and couldn't help herself. If... If Jun Tingsheng didn't show up in time, then the one who died now is...

"Linger."

Jun Tingsheng stepped forward to help her up from the ground, seeing her pale face as if she was terribly frightened, he hurriedly comforted her: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm here, no one will hurt you."

Even though she knew she was safe, Song Baoling still had lingering fears, and she hugged Jun Tingsheng tightly without thinking.

Jun Tingsheng was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand to gently stroke her head: "Don't be afraid, with me here, you will be fine."

When Song Baoling's mood stabilized, Jun Tingsheng planned to send her back to Baohua Palace, and then tried to get her out of the palace, but unexpectedly she refused.

"I can't go."

Song Baoling looked at him seriously, "I'm afraid the other party won't let it go if they didn't succeed this time. I have to use the Queen Mother's name to find out who is behind my back."

"No, it's too dangerous, you..."

"Don't worry, I'm free to measure, and nothing will happen."

Jun Tingsheng was worried and wanted to persuade him again, but Song Baoling's attitude was firm. Seeing this, he had no choice but to leave first.

Ning'an Palace——

The Empress Dowager looked solemnly at Song Baoling who was already in tears, "Get up first, the Ai family will send someone to investigate this matter."

With that said, the Empress Dowager ordered her confidant Jin Shuiyi: "Leave this matter to you, and you must find out who dared to disturb the Ai family."

After Jin Shuiyi left, Song Baoling also got up from the ground and continued to cry, "Thank you Queen Mother, the little girl was really scared just now, just a little bit, I'm afraid the little girl won't see the Queen Mother."

The Empress Dowager looked at Song Baoling thoughtfully, and after a while, asked: "You are always smart, do you have any doubts about this matter?"

Song Baoling shook his head when he heard the words, "My little girl has always been cautious in her words and deeds. I ask myself that I have never offended anyone. I really don't know who is behind the scenes."

"Originally, the little girl also wanted to calm things down, but the other party wanted to put the little girl to death, so the little girl could only come here to seek the protection of the Queen Mother."

Regarding Song Baoling's words, the Empress Dowager was skeptical from the beginning to the end. She has been in the palace for decades since she was young, and she has seen all kinds of methods in the harem. If she relaxes so easily, she may not live until now.

Half an hour later, Jin Shuiyi came back to report what he had found. When he said that what happened today was related to Concubine Leng, Song Baoling cried again.

"Empress Dowager, you must save me. The last time I had a disagreement with the Third Prince, it must have been at that time that Concubine Leng hated me."

"Now I am arranged by the Holy Majesty to be next to Concubine Song, and Concubine Leng thinks that I don't like it even more, so she wants to get rid of me, and begs the Queen Mother to be merciful and save my life."

Song Baoling's face showed panic, and he spoke with sincerity, but the queen mother just smiled indifferently after listening.

"The harem is like government affairs. There are too many complicated things. Even being calculated by others is inevitable. The Ai family can't cover everything."

"What's more, if I help you, what good will Yu Ai's family benefit?"

The empress dowager's intentions are already obvious, if this matter is not beneficial to her, she will not help her.

"My little girl knows that this matter has nothing to do with the queen mother, but now I really can't find a place to live. If the queen mother is willing to help, I will try my best to repay you."

Seeing that the Empress Dowager was indifferent after Song Baoling finished speaking, he thought for a moment and continued: "My little girl has a way to invite Song Concubine to the Queen's bedroom."

"At that time, even if the empress has no heirs, as long as the concubine Song gives birth to Lin'er, the Lin'er will naturally belong to the empress's knees."

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager smiled and nodded, "Yes, Aijia is very satisfied with your proposal."

"It seems that it was indeed right to keep you at the beginning, and Aijia will need you to continue to serve in the future."

Song Baoling saw that it was done, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank the Queen Mother for saving her life, Ling'er will definitely do her best for the Queen Mother."

Afterwards, the Queen Mother rewarded a lot of jewellery, and let Jin Shuiyi spread the word to the outside world. From now on, Song Baoling will often accompany her to worship the Buddha.

In this way, Concubine Leng must not dare to act rashly again.
