Chapter 513 New Order
"Can't redeem?"

The pen in Chen Yicong's hand stopped, and he raised his eyes slightly in surprise, and glanced at the dark guard who was kneeling not far away.

Almost instantly, Chen Yicong noticed the change in his expression, and then quickly lowered his eyes to regain his tranquility.

"...Did Bai Ling tell Zeng Jiuyan himself tonight?" Chen Yicong asked softly.

"Yes." The dark guard replied in a deep voice.

"what reason?"

"Bo Siyao and the bustard have negotiated another business," the dark guard replied, "since there are two parties who want to rob her now, there is no rush to decide on the place right now, it is best to wait for May Yueya On the day of the sale, put her on stage so that the two families can compete for the price together."

Chen Yicong didn't understand, "What does this have to do with whether Zeng Jiuyan can redeem her?"

The dark guard looked a little embarrassed, he was silent for a while, and then said softly, "...Bo Siyao guessed that the backside of the other householder's house is...Your Majesty."

Chen Yicong looked at the paper and pen on his desk indifferently, "...and then?"

"She... She said that although the young master will definitely not redeem her, on that day, he can raise the price as much as possible, so as to increase her worth."

"……Exact words?"

"Exact words."

Chen Yicong lost his pen, annoyed and funny, "...Is this trying to join hands with me to steal my money?"

The hidden guard didn't dare to speak, but just buried his head lower.

"Did Bai Ling say why she refused to accept Zeng Jiuyan's redemption in private?" Chen Yicong said coldly, "The bustard of that family must be eager to sell the Bianhou Mansion as a favor, right?"

"I've said it." The dark guard replied, "Bo Siyao said that no one can say for sure what will happen in the future. If he really enters the house of the young master, if the young master suddenly leaves Beijing to go north in the future, or If she has settled on a marriage and has a regular wife, her situation will be very bad—even worse than in Baihuaya. She doesn't want to make her path narrower and narrower."

Chen Yicong frowned imperceptibly. Bo Ling was thinking too far. Now that he has not left Baihuaya, he has already begun to be wary of dangers that have not yet occurred.

——After all, isn’t it just to be wary of yourself?

"...Understood." Chen Yicong said in a low voice.

The dark guard waited for a while, and seeing that Chen Yicong did not issue a new order, he raised his hand and prepared to leave.

"Wait," Chen Yicong said suddenly, "In Baihuaya, how many of you are staring at Bai Ling?"

"Not many, about three or four." The dark guard replied.

"Withdrawn." Chen Yicong said softly, "All withdrew, what they did before, what should they do now."

The dark guard was surprised for a moment, "...what does the emperor mean?"

"You don't need to interfere with Bai Ling's affairs from now on." Chen Yicong said coldly, "She can do whatever she wants."

"The emperor still plans to--"

"It doesn't matter." Chen Yicong's voice was light and fast, "Tell the people below that you will pay the deposit once you have paid, and you don't have to go to the dental shop on the day of the transaction, just pretend it's nothing."

The hidden guard below was stunned for a moment, unable to comprehend the emperor's sudden order.

Chen Yicong didn't even look at him, and asked in a low voice, "Chengli's injury, how is it now?"

——When Wei Shishi was arrested at the end of last year, Cheng Li was scratched on his arm by Wei Shishi who escaped over the wall. Click to enter the palace and stay near Chen Yicong.

The young dark guard quickly replied, "My lord, Mr. Cheng's injury has long since healed, and what happened at the Firearms Battalion these days is also being watched by Mr. Cheng—"

"I know," Chen Yicong interrupted the subordinates in a low voice, "I'm going to Zhuozhou again this April..."

The emperor's voice returned to its usual solemnity, and he picked up the imperial brush in his hand again.

"Go and deliver the decree for me, and let Chengli accompany you."

"Yes!"

……

The young dark guard scratched his head and returned to Beizhen Fusi. His master Cheng Li was sorting out the report of the day. Although it was late at night, the lights in the room were still on.

Chengli listened to his disciples recount in detail today's play in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Understood, I will enter the palace in the middle of the night." Cheng Li replied.

"Then at Baihuaya, should I go and have a meeting with them now?"

Cheng Li frowned and nodded, feeling something was wrong in his heart.

"……and many more!"

Just before the young guard was about to leave the door, Cheng Li called to stop him.

The young man stopped and turned around, "What else do you want, Master?"

"...don't withdraw all of them, just keep one." Cheng Li said in a low voice with piercing eyes.

"But the emperor said—"

"Then keep one." Cheng Li replied, "But in terms of actions, as long as you can save Xiao Siyao's life, don't worry about anything else."

The young guard tilted his head in confusion, "But..."

"Do as I say first." Cheng Li stopped talking nonsense with his apprentice, he looked up at the night outside the window, and couldn't help but think of the scene of Chen Yicong chasing someone in the snow after Bai Ling's assassination.

Chengli sighed.

"...you will understand later."

……

Early the next morning, Ai Songqing felt someone pushing her shoulder in her sleep.

"Songqing, Songqing?"

Familiar voice.

Ai Songqing opened her eyes and found Bo Ling's face hanging in front of her eyes. She was startled and woke up instantly.

"Hey, did you scare me?" Bo Ling looked at Ai Songqing's expression, a little embarrassed.

Ai Songqing caressed her heart, feeling her heart beating wildly. She reluctantly shook her head and glanced out of the window—at this time, the sky outside was not fully lit yet, and most of the people in the room were still asleep.

"...It's not time for morning exercises yet," Ai Songqing rubbed her eyes, feeling a little helpless, "Why...why did you wake up so early?"

"Going to take a shower?" Bo Ling asked softly.

Ai Songqing froze for a moment, "...now?"

"Well," Bo Ling nodded, "Today's first water, do you want to try it?"

— This is really amazing!

Ai Songqing ignorantly followed Bo Ling to get up, both of them were barefoot, quietly walked around other people's beds in a hazy twilight, and after going down the stairs on this floor, Ai Songqing saw the tortoise waiting there. paw.

The tortoise claws prepared their shoes and robes. Although their expressions were indifferent, they were not as vicious as they were a few days ago.

The Turtle Claws brought the two girls down to the first floor here——Ai Songqing really didn't feel sleepy at all right now, because they had never been to this bathhouse before.

Under this tower, all the singers and dancers who have just joined Baihuaya live. They come from different backgrounds, some were poached from other places with a lot of money by the bustard, and some were specially selected good seedlings from the people. , but in short, most of them have not yet appeared in Baihuaya.

According to the jargon here, the people living in this tower are considered "Bao'er".

Only these "buds" can use the bathroom here.

Ai Songqing timidly followed Bo Ling—they really had a smooth journey, and after changing their clothes, they went smoothly to the innermost pond.

In the huge bath, there are only her and Bo Ling now.

To be fair, with such a pool of hot water, even if you don’t do anything else, just soaking in it is very comfortable...

Ai Songqing and Bo Ling let out a pleasant sigh together.

"By the way," Ai Songqing looked at Bo Ling in the mist, "Where did you go last night?"
