Empress, she is beautiful Lu Ziye

The slices of cake are all white, sometimes dotted with peach pink. They are cut into thin squares and are soft in the mouth and very tempting.

Ah Jing ate two pieces in a row and praised, "It's really good. But why wait until after the New Year? I think I can buy more in these two days and save it for the Chinese New Year."

"You think so well." Bi Luo said with a smile, "I just happened to come across these two portions. The grandmother who made the cakes closed her stall today, and only these two portions were left. She will probably serve Shangyuan Na next time she goes out to the stall. day."

Ah Jing: "You don't want to do business even if you give me money?"

"Grandma is old, how can she not rest all year round? Besides, she is good at craftsmanship. Almost all the cakes are sold out as soon as she makes them, so she doesn't have to worry about selling them and she won't be short of a few taels of silver."

Bi Luo picked up a piece and continued, "The peach pink color in the middle is decorated with the first batch of peach blossoms collected in spring every year, so it will be more delicious and fresh in March and April. The rest of the time, it will be dried into flowers. It was added in."

It happened that the waiter came to serve tea at this time, and Biluo poured a cup of it. He was about to drink it, but Ajing snatched it away and put it into his mouth hurriedly, "I was just about to drink tea, thank you."

Bi Luo glanced at her, "Are you thirsty to death right now?"

Ah Jing grinned, knowing she was in the wrong, and took the initiative to pour her a glass of apology, "My fault, my fault."

Only then did Bi Luo give up.

The two quarreled for a few words, then looked at the stage.

The play was at its peak, arousing bursts of cheers from the audience. Ah Jing couldn't help but shout out and threw broken silver on the stage. She was so excited that she even grabbed Bi Luo's purse and provoked Bi Luo to punch her again.

The people in the corner watched everything in silence.

Bai Zhanxiao only glanced at it occasionally, pretending to pass by casually, and then looked away.

He didn't know whether Ah Jing's kung fu was good or not; but he knew Bi Luo's skills very well and didn't dare to look closely for fear of being discovered.

"This xinxing still needs to be worked on." Bai Zhanxiao said quietly, with a glimmer of light in his eyes.

During this time, the teapot was bottomed out, and the waiter came to refill it. Bai Zhanxiao picked up the new tea and drank it in one gulp. On the other hand, the subordinate sitting opposite had a hint of anxiety in his brows, and he couldn't eat or drink comfortably.

I wanted to dissuade him several times, but I didn’t know how to speak.

It wasn't until dusk fell that the theater gradually calmed down. When the troupe got tired of singing, the spectators finally got up and went home.

However, everyone was still not satisfied and slowly rushed out, even discussing that they should come early tomorrow to get a good seat.

Until a woman with an apron on her waist and firewood in her hand rushed in and grabbed a man's ear, dragging him out while cursing, "You old man, what time has it been and you still want me to invite you back for dinner?" ?!”

"Oh, please, please, my ears are about to fall off!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing and stepped away quickly.

If you don't leave, you will be the next one to be embarrassed if someone from your family chases you.

Bi Luo and A Jing followed the flow of people and walked out, taking their time.

The Theater Building and Mingyue Pavilion are three streets away from each other. It takes a lot of time to take the main road, and it is much closer to take a small path.

Bai Zhanxiao was very familiar with the roads in the capital and had already guessed their route. When they turned into a dark alley, he followed them quietly.

Counting the time, it's time for the medicine to take effect.

The steps ahead were getting further and further away. Bai Zhanxiao didn't want to delay, so he turned into a dark alley in a few steps. Sure enough, he saw two figures holding on to the wall.

He curled his lips slightly.

This tactic is a bit old-fashioned, but it works. Everything happens by chance and goes with the flow. Who would have expected that something was added to the tea?

The dark alley is very quiet, and almost no one comes. Apart from the uneven breathing in front, the only sound left is the sound of Bai Zhanxiao's approaching footsteps. It's just that this step was steady at first, but after a while it became more and more uncertain, and finally had to stop hastily.

Bai Zhanxiao rested his arm on the wall and his heart sank.

what happened?

Before he could think about it, the two people in front of him had turned around, and the sound of their clothes rubbing against each other made his eardrums ache.

"You brought this to your door yourself, hee hee."

Ah Jing met those angry eyes and smiled harmlessly, "You are playing poison in front of me, and you don't go out to find out who my aunt is."

When Bi Luo was pouring tea, she noticed something was wrong. She took the opportunity of a fight to grab the tea and then confirmed it.

It was just an ordinary intoxication, nothing unusual; but A Jing was surprised that he was in such a situation, and he even thought about doing something to herself. It seemed that he really hated himself for being in Beitang.

Bai Zhanxiao's limbs were weak, but his mind was very clear and he did not feel heavy or faint.

This medicine was not the one he gave to Ah Jing in the teapot.

If Ah Jing hadn't brought the medicine with him, or... from the very beginning, the other party had noticed his movements and had set up a net waiting here.

"you……!"

Ah Jing leaned over and said, "I want to give you a chance to leave the city, but you are not angry and insist on taking revenge on me. Can you blame me?"

Bai Zhanxiao's eyes widened, "Tonight at midnight..."

"If you rush to the city gate at midnight tonight, someone will open the door for you," Ah Jing accepted his words, "but Mingyue Pavilion is not the only one in the capital."

"So you already know where I am. No matter if I do something today or not, I can't escape." Bai Zhanxiao suddenly sneered, "Huh, since you can catch me, you still have to spend so much time, is it interesting?"

To sit still and watch myself struggling in vain to find a way out is really cruel.

Ah Jing chuckled, "Then do you think the play in the theater today is interesting?"

She didn't need an answer from the other party, and continued, "This is just for you. During the years when you thought you were fooling others, you should have thought that this would happen to you too."

Bai Zhanxiao lowered his eyelids and stopped struggling. He didn't care about the other party's cynicism. He only cared about the person behind it. "Is it Nan Zhen's idea? If the soldiers guarding the city can be bribed so easily, I won't seek help." Even though I have many connections, I still can’t get through it.”

Meeting his suspicious gaze, Ah Jing raised her eyebrows and said, "Continue."

"I checked on you and found that you don't have such a background. The only one who can unclog the government is Nan Zhen." Bai Zhanxiao said word by word, "Since she returned to the pavilion, she has been chattering away and her whereabouts are uncertain. Could it be that she is missing? During that time, you got involved with the imperial court?"

Ah Jing didn't give him an answer, but she had to admit that the person in front of her was terrifyingly thoughtful.

Only from such fragmented information can we make general inferences.

"Oh, I thought our pavilion master was really so noble. He only asked about Jianghu matters and did not discuss the merits and demerits with the court. I didn't expect that he did a lot of things behind his back."

Judging from his sarcastic expression, Ah Jing knew that he didn't have the best in mind.

Rolling his eyes, he lifted the person up from the ground and said, "Put away those dirty thoughts of yours. For the remaining doubts, you might as well ask her yourself."

Ah Jing didn't give him a chance to talk too much and knocked the person unconscious. Bi Luo happened to come back at this time, dragging a corpse.

"How did you kill him?" Ah Jing asked.
