Chapter 163

In the chaos, Song Baoling was rescued by the palace people. She was soaked and lying on the ground, coughing non-stop, looking really embarrassed.

"There's such an argument in the palace, what happened?"

"Eunuch Jin, the head of Jingling County fell into the water."

The person who came was the Empress Dowager's confidant Jin Shuiyi. Hearing that Song Baoling fell into the water from the palace people, he quickly stepped forward to check.

As soon as Song Baoling saw him coming, he immediately put on a pitiful look, "Eunuch Jin, please help me, that person... that person wants to kill me."

Following the direction Song Baoling pointed, Jin Shuiyi looked at the panicked little eunuch, frowned and asked, "You did it?"

The little eunuch trembled and didn't speak, looked at Jin Shuiyi and Song Baoling respectively, then suddenly took out a dagger from his arms and stabbed himself in the chest.

"He wants to kill himself!"

Jin Shuiyi's reaction was extremely quick, and just as the little eunuch took out the dagger, he flew in front of him and kicked him to the ground, causing the dagger to fly out.

"Take him down!"

The little eunuch was pinned to the ground by two other eunuchs and could not move. Jin Shuiyi also saw something strange when the matter developed to this point. He walked up to the little eunuch and knelt down, and said coldly, "Say, who told you to do this?" ?!"

Song Baoling had already been lifted up by the palace maid, she pretended to be afraid and looked at this scene, the purpose of the little eunuch just now was not to put her to death, it seemed to be to test herself.

Thinking about it this way, it might be Jun Yelan, or it might be Jun Tianlin.

After waiting for a while, Jin Shuiyi still didn't wait for the little eunuch to speak, so he got up and ordered: "Send him to the Ministry of Punishment, let the people in the Ministry of Punishment interrogate him carefully, and make sure to find out who is his master."

After finishing speaking, Jin Shuiyi turned to look at Song Baoling, "Master Jingling was frightened, I will report this matter to the Empress Dowager, and invite the master..."

"call out!"

There was a sound of sharp blades cutting through the air, and before everyone could react, the little eunuch was killed by the flying hidden weapon.

Song Baoling looked at the little eunuch who was vomiting blood, and after recovering, he rushed forward and grabbed him: "Who ordered you? Tell me!"

However, the hidden weapon was extremely powerful, and it was covered with poison. The little eunuch was almost killed in one blow, so Song Baoling didn't get the answer she wanted.

"There are assassins!"

The surrounding palace people shouted in fright, Jin Shuiyi was still calm, and immediately sent someone to notify the imperial guards to search for the assassin.

"County Lord, this servant is here to pick you up at the order of the Empress Dowager Yi, please follow this servant."

Song Baoling was still thinking about why Jin Shuiyi passed by here just now, but he didn't expect this to be the reason, so it's not surprising.

Following Jin Shuiyi to the bedroom, the queen mother was stunned when she saw Song Baoling who was dripping wet.

"This is...how did it look like this?"

Seeing this, Song Baoling immediately knelt on the ground and cried, "The little girl almost won't see the queen mother, so I implore the queen mother to make decisions for the little girl."

The queen mother heard the words and looked at Jin Shuiyi, "Eunuch Jin, didn't the Ai family ask you to pick up Ling'er? How did it happen?"

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, when the slave found the county master, the county master had already been pushed into the pool by a small eunuch. The slave wanted to hand him over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for interrogation, but unexpectedly, he was assassinated in public by an assassin."

Jin Shuiyi gave a concise and clear explanation. After hearing this, the Empress Dowager became furious and slapped her palm on the table: "It's unreasonable! Someone in the imperial palace dared to kill in public, check! Let the Ai family find out!"

Knowing that the Empress Dowager was really angry, Jin Shuiyi hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "I want to report to the Empress Dowager, the servant has sent someone to inform the Imperial Guards to investigate this matter, but the Imperial Guards have just sent a message, so far there is no clue. .”

Song Baoling felt that it was hopeless to find someone. Thinking that the Queen Mother was looking for her to see a doctor, he boldly said: "The young girl was fine when she was with the Prince Regent, but something is not right after the Prince left."

As soon as these words came out, the Queen Mother's expression changed slightly, and she could see that Song Baoling wanted to say that this matter had something to do with Jun Tianlin.

Seeing that the Queen Mother didn't answer, Song Baoling stopped leading and gave each other a step down.

"Queen Mother, the presence of assassins in the palace is a major event, and the imperial guards will definitely investigate clearly. It is lucky for the little girl to save her life now, so I will not ask about this matter from now on."

Seeing that Song Baoling was so well-behaved and sensible, the queen mother was also a little relieved, but her drenched appearance at this time was indeed distressing.

"Come here, take Jingling County Lord down to change clothes, and then order someone to make ginger soup."

"Ling'er, thank you Empress Dowager for your compassion."

But after a while, Song Baoling washed up and reappeared in front of the Empress Dowager. At this time, the ginger soup was served by the palace servants.

"Drink the ginger soup first to get rid of the cold."

Song Baoling obediently served the ginger soup and finished it, and then began to check the Queen Mother's physical condition, and helped her with a head massage by the way.

"Queen Mother, your illness is already much better. As long as you take the little girl's previous prescription for a period of time, the pain will be completely eliminated."

The Empress Dowager knew this well in her heart, she obviously felt that she was much more comfortable these days, not like the frequent headaches that caused her to be restless and irritable.

"It's all thanks to you. You can have such medical skills at a young age. It won't be even better when you grow up."

"The empress dowager praises it. My daughter learned this by accident. It is my daughter's blessing to be able to solve the empress dowager's problems."

"You, Xiaozui is really sweet. By the way, Aijia heard that the Holy Majesty asked you to prepare a four-nation banquet. How are you preparing?"

Speaking of this, Song Baoling pretended to sigh with a heavy heart, "My little girl has never been in charge of the affairs of the house at home, let alone shoulder such a heavy responsibility."

"Since the Holy Majesty handed over this matter to my daughter, my daughter has had trouble sleeping and eating day and night. I hope the Queen Mother can give some advice."

The queen mother was very satisfied with her modest appearance. Before that, she thought Song Baoling was a proud person, but now it seems that she is not only a little clever, but also knows how to assess the situation.

So, the Empress Dowager taught Song Baoling her experience and taught her how to deal with envoys from various countries, but she talked about the marriage between the Jin family and the Chengyang Palace for some reason.

"The Ai family has heard about the youngest daughter of the Jin family. She looks pretty good, but she has a bad temper and doesn't quite match Jun Tingsheng."

Song Baoling was secretly startled after hearing this. The Queen Mother didn't seem to like Jin Wanlin, and she also implied that she didn't want her to marry Jun Tingsheng.

And the queen mother mentioned this in a good manner, is it because she wants to stop this marriage?

Thinking of this, Song Baoling had no choice but to follow her and say, "Miss Jin has a more free-spirited temperament, and she really doesn't match my little uncle well."

"But the queen mother can rest assured that my daughter is only thinking of my uncle. Miss Jin is not suitable to be his wife, and my daughter will try her best to stop her from now on."

After Song Baoling expressed his position, there was silence in the inner room, and the queen mother didn't say anything, as if she was very satisfied with her answer.
