Chapter 28 Be a good idiot

The city guard waved his hands hurriedly, "Oh my lord, this is a shame for me. It's not that I want to embarrass Miss Bai, but she killed someone. If I let her go casually, I won't be able to explain!"

Mo Jinglin looked at the city guard in silence.

Cold sweat was pouring out uncontrollably on the city guard's forehead.

He had met Mo Jinglin in the imperial capital many years ago when he was just taking the imperial examination in high school.

He was just a teenager at the time, eleven or twelve years old, but he was serious in speech and had a dignified demeanor that no one dared to ignore.

I just feel like he is a well-raised noble man.

Only a few years have passed, and the cuteness of the boy has completely disappeared, replaced by nothing but terror!
Mo Jinglin, "No need to discuss?"

The city guard smiled in a roundabout way and approached Mo Jinglin, "My lord, I wonder what the relationship between this young lady and the prince is?"

Mo Jinglin said, "You don't need to know this, but I think there are a lot of doubts about her killing someone. We should check the case carefully before making a decision."

The city guard felt a soft nail and nodded in agreement, "What the prince said makes sense. In this case, I will postpone the execution time for seven days first. If the case can be found out within these seven days, The evidence proves that Miss Bai is innocent, I will let her go immediately!"

Mo Jinglin stepped forward and walked up to Bai Qingluo, his dark green phoenix eyes slightly lowered, "I heard, at least you will be safe for these seven days, don't act recklessly, stay calm."

Bai Qingluo always felt that he seemed to see through her thoughts of escaping from prison at a glance.

He twitched his lips and smiled with his eyebrows crooked, "I'm very obedient. It's just that I was really bored in the prison, so I went to have fun with the jailers. I did absolutely nothing else!"

The jailbreak thing is a bit hasty when you think about it.

First, this place is no better than other places. She was almost swallowed by a python last time. If Mo Jinglin hadn't arrived in time, there's no telling what would have happened now.

The terrain around Nanxiang City is complex, making it difficult to run fast or far, and poisonous substances are everywhere, which is not conducive to travel.

Secondly, the medicinal fields on the mountain have finally been renovated, and everything is just on track.

She was really reluctant to part with this Feng Shui treasure land.

Mo Jinglin lowered his head, leaned into her ear, and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Tomorrow night at the latest, before then you'd better treat yourself like a fool."

Be a wooden person?
Meaning...no eating or drinking?

Suddenly there was warmth on his shoulders, and Mo Jinglin put his coat on her body.

Bai Qingluo was slightly startled, but Mo Jinglin had already turned around and backed away, "With these words from the city guard, I feel relieved. Let's go."

The city guard breathed a huge sigh of relief and quickly led the way, "It's all as it should be. Your Majesty, be careful on the steps! Your Majesty has ordered people to sort out the post room overnight. Please move on, Your Majesty!"

Bai Qingluo touched the men's outer shirt. After touching it for a long time, it was just...an ordinary piece of clothing.

Come on, she shouldn't expect this man to have some supplies or food hidden in his clothes.

Fortunately, she still had room in her pocket, so she managed to cope with it by pouring a few nutrient supplements over the past two days.

Originally, the food in this prison was not good. She didn’t touch the pig food for dinner...

Suddenly, I smelled the aroma of roasted chicken.

Bai Qingluo turned her head and saw a smiling old man standing outside her cell door.

Looks a bit familiar...not a jailer, but one of the people who came in with the city guard just now.

"Miss Bai! You must be hungry. Try this roast chicken quickly. I bought it especially for you. It's still hot!" The old man quickly opened the iron chain on the door and came in with the roast chicken and several plates of snacks.

Bai Qingluo crossed her legs and sat up straight, "Does your prison still provide midnight snacks?"

The old man said, "Look what you said, these are all specially prepared for Miss Bai. I didn't know about your relationship with the prince before. How offending are you? I hope the lady will be more generous and don't want to know each other like us!" He said and quickly put down the food. He pushed towards Bai Qingluo.

Bai Qingluo swallowed and tore off a chicken leg!
The old man's eyes lit up, and he suddenly saw that Bai Qingluo, who was about to put the chicken drumstick into his mouth, stopped.

The old man's entire expression also stopped, "What's wrong, Miss Bai, are you dissatisfied with something?"

Could it be that she discovered the clue?
Bai Qingluo coughed lightly and pointed at his throat, "It's too dry."

The old man patted his head and suddenly realized, "Look at my memory! Then I'll make a pot of tea for the girl! How about the good Mingqian Longjing!"

Bai Qingluo looked disgusted, "Such a good appetizer, how boring is drinking tea?"

The old man was a genius and he understood it immediately, "I understand! Now bring a pot of good wine to the girl!"

Bai Qingluo showed a satisfied smile, "The old man knows his business, he must have drank a lot!"

The old man waved his hand, "I have an average drinking capacity, and I don't understand it even if I don't drink a lot, so good wine should be reserved for people like girls who understand and love wine!"

As he spoke, he stood up and stood at the door of the cell, shouting outside, "Here comes someone!"

Bai Qingluo flipped his palm, and an extra spray instantly appeared.

Spray it on the roasted chicken!
When the old man turned around, Bai Qingluo used the cover of his sleeves to calmly take the antidote.

The old man came back with a smile and said, "It has been taken away by someone. Wait a moment, girl. It will be quick. You eat first!"

"Hey." Bai Qingluo pushed back the roasted chicken he pushed over, "Since I went to get the wine, let's wait a little longer and eat it with the wine to get the taste!"

The old man scratched his heart, "They will be very quick..."

Bai Qingluo, "That's just right! Let's chat first and then we'll have a drink!"

She changed her posture and asked with great interest, "How many people are there in the old gentleman's family? Will you be celebrating your birthday this year?"

The old man answered one after another, wondering why the wine hadn't come yet, and at the same time he kept smelling the hot aroma of roast chicken in his nose.

Smell, smell...

I don't know when my consciousness became blurred.

…………

With a "squeak" sound, the door suddenly opened.

"Who!" The city guard was excited and looked back.

He saw the old butler he sent out carrying a tray.

He patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, "So it's you. Why didn't you know to knock on the door first? Have you done everything I sent you to do?"

"Yes." The old butler put the roast chicken, snacks, and drinks on the table one by one with an expressionless expression.

The city guard was in a good mood and naturally sat at the table, "I can rest assured that you are doing the work. You also know how to bring me some wine and food to make me feel at ease. Sit down and have a couple of drinks with me!"

Old housekeeper, "Yes."

The city guard shook his glass and said, "The people down here are really difficult to deal with. The people above are just talking, and all the dirty work is mine. I thought she was just an ordinary woman. Who knew she was related to Mo Jinglin!" "

I tore a chicken drumstick. Just as the city guard was about to eat it, he suddenly realized something was wrong, "Huh? Why is there one missing drumstick?"

The old housekeeper suddenly replied in a sinister tone, "What do you think?"
