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.

Seeing this, Song Baochai had no choice but to persuade: "It's rare that Ling'er has such thoughts. My sister sees that this jasper and moon pattern jade pendant is very suitable for my sister. Why don't you accept it."

Hearing this, Concubine Leng cast a sideways glance, and reprimanded: "Sister has been in the palace for so long, and she really hasn't learned any rules."

"This is a reward from the Queen Mother. If I take it, I will definitely make the Queen Mother angry. My sister wants to see Bengong's jokes!"

When Song Baochai was scolded by her like this, she immediately trembled with fright. After seeing Song Baoling's eyes indicating, she pretended to be uncomfortable and supported the corner of the table.

Seeing that she was about to fall, Song Baoling hurriedly shouted: "Come quickly, Concubine Song is not feeling well, please go to the imperial physician."

Concubine Leng couldn't tell if they were acting, but right now Song Baochai was pregnant with the Holy Majesty's heir, if something really happened, she would definitely be implicated here.

"Since my sister is not feeling well, I won't bother you, and I will visit you another day."

After finishing speaking, Concubine Leng got up and left, ignoring Song Baochai who was pale at the side.

Seeing Concubine Leng leave to avoid suspicion, Song Baoling finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and wanted to check on Song Baochai, but she reprimanded her instead: "It's all your fault for offending Concubine Leng, and now you have caused me to be implicated as well."

Song Baoling saw that she was very angry, so he lowered his posture and apologized: "It is true that I have troubled the empress. To express my apology, I hope that the jade pendant will be accepted by the empress."

"In the future, if I get good things again, I will definitely not forget my mother's share, and I hope my mother will not worry about today's affairs."

Looking at the emerald green jade pendant, Song Baochai's eyes seemed to light up, and she took it without thinking.

"As expected of the Empress Dowager, the things usually used as rewards are rare items. Such a fine jade pendant is the most suitable for this palace to wear."

Song Baochai gestured with the jade pendant on her body, completely forgot what happened just now, and no longer bothered with Song Baoling.

At night, Song Baoling sleepwalked again, but this time she walked to the cold palace in a dream, as if she was controlled by someone.

"Linger?"

Jun Tingsheng hid in the night wearing black clothes. When he saw Song Baoling walking forward unconsciously, he immediately appeared and snatched him away.

There are guards patrolling everywhere in the palace. In order to avoid being found and scaring 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 soft, and he guided patiently and softly. After a while, Song Baoling leaned against his arms and fell asleep.

The wind at night was a bit chilly, even though Jun Tingsheng had been protecting Song Baoling, after this night, she still caught the wind and chill.

As soon as the sky was slightly bright, Song Baochai was being groomed and dressed by the ladies in the palace, but at this moment, she suddenly noticed that Song Baoling hadn't returned all night.

"Has any of you seen Song Baoling?"

"Returning to your mother, the servants have not seen the county master Jingling since they waited on your mother to sleep last night."

After Song Baochai heard the words, she was even more sure of her conjecture, and immediately went to find Song Baoling after she finished dressing, but when she arrived at the other garden, she saw Song Baoling sitting by the stove boiling medicine.

"You, how could you..."

Song Baoling looked at her in confusion, "I'm making an anti-fetal medicine for my mother, I don't know what orders my mother has come here?"

"You get up early to help Ben Gong make medicine?"

"Yeah, this medicine pays great attention to the heat, and it takes a little longer to cook, so I started preparing it before dawn."

Although Song Baoling explained in an orderly manner, Song Baochai still had doubts. Before she came, she asked the eunuch who was watching the night, and she was sure that Song Baoling had left last night, but she didn't know when she would return.

"Please kindly remind your mother, don't put your mind on me anymore, the most important thing is to protect your mother right now."

Song Baoling looked at her like a torch, and continued: "If the emperor's heir in the empress's womb makes a mistake, both you and I will suffer, and the empress must be very clear about this."

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Song Baochai's psychology changed immediately.

"You're right, at least until Ben Gong safely gave birth to the prince, we were indeed on the same boat."

Looking at the back of Song Baochai leaving triumphantly, Song Baoling couldn't help coughing a few times, she woke up this morning with chills all over, presumably it was because of the cold last night.

Now is the critical time, she must not get sick, otherwise troubles will surely follow.

Gyeongin Palace——

"Ma'am, the tea is ready."

The queen looked at the tea put in front of her by the maid, and Song Baoling's words sounded again in her mind, but this tea...does she drink it?
"cousin!"

A sudden shout interrupted the Queen's thoughts. She looked up at the door, only to see Jin Wanlin running in with a face full of excitement.

"Cousin, I have good news to tell you about Song Baoling."

Hearing this name, the queen's face changed suddenly, and she turned to look at the maid next to her: "You all go down, I will talk to Wanlin for a while."

"Yes, ma'am."

After all the palace people retreated, the queen's face became serious instantly, "Wanlin, now you are almost an adult woman, why are you acting so recklessly."

"Do you know that Song Baoling was proclaimed the Lord of Jingling County by the Holy Master, and now she is staying in Baohua Palace temporarily. If you talk about this person again in the future, you need to be cautious."

Jin Wanlin didn't think too much at first, but after being reminded by her like this, she also knew that she had done something wrong, so she hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, cousin, I was just too excited for a while, and I will remember it in the future."

Seeing her sincerity in admitting her mistake, the queen didn't blame her anymore, "Tell me, what's wrong with Song Baoling, it's worth your excitement."

"Cousin, I found out that during the wine-tasting banquet that day, Song Baoling had been to the medicine pond, and things were not as she said at all."

Jin Wanlin paused at this point, and then took out a handkerchief embroidered with peach blossoms, "This was picked up by a court lady outside the medicine pool that day. I have sent someone to inquire about it. This handkerchief belongs to Song Baoling."

"I also asked the guards guarding the backyard. They heard movement in the medicine pond, but before they could check, they were led away by a woman in a dress, so the tiger was also released."

"From this point of view, Song Baoling was clearly lying that day, I'm afraid she was not as simple as it appeared on the surface."

A trace of surprise flashed across the Queen's face. She originally thought that Song Baoling was just a young girl who didn't know much about the world, but based on the events of the past few days, Song Baoling was indeed as intelligent as the Holy Majesty said.

If this person can be drawn into the camp, there is no doubt that he has gained a brave and strategic military advisor. In the future, no matter whether it is the status of the harem or the heir, there is no need to worry about it.
