Chapter 261
When Ling Jingyan left, her eyes were red and swollen from crying
Ling Jingshu was slightly stronger than Ling Jingyan, however, her face was also covered in tears
Bai Yu was at the side, also silently weeping for a long time
She didn’t console anything, and only brought warm water and towels in silence
After Ling Jingshu washed her face, her mood calmed down a lot
After Ling Jingyan left, Ling Xiao came againAh Shu,” Ling Xiao’s eyes reddened as soon as he opened his mouth, “After you enter the palace, you must be more careful and take care of yourself”
The two siblings had grown up together since they were young and depended on each other
Have never been separated
Thinking that the two would be separated from tomorrow onwards, Ling Xiao’s tears immediately welled up
Ling Jingshu had just had a cry, and was much calmer at this time, wiping Ling Xiao’s tears with a handkerchief and softly saying, “Ah Xiao, don’t cry
In fact, this time, I entered the palace willingly”
Ling Xiao froze, forgot to cry, and looked at Ling Jingshu with a puzzled expression, “You’re saying this to put me at ease!”
How could Ah Shu want to enter the palace?
Ling Jingshu gazed at Ling Xiao with a calm gaze, “I didn’t coax you
Do you remember what I said to you before?
I came to the capital in the hope of curing your eye disease, and secondly, there is also a very important thing to do
Now that your eye disease has been cured, the thing I am most worried about is also gone
Next, I’m going to do what I should do as well”
A trace of cold determination flashed through Ling Jingshu’s eyes
Such a Ling Jingshu made Ling Xiao feel somewhat unfamiliar, “Ah Shu, what are you saying, why can’t I understand a word of it”
Ling Jingshu softened her expression and smiled at Ling Xiao, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand
You just need to know that I am willing to enter the palace”
Is A Shu really willing?
Ling Xiao looked at Ling Jingshu, his emotions were mixed up and complicated, and he didn’t know what to say for a moment
Ling Jingshu said softly again, “Auntie Jieyu and Princess Anya will watch over me, and I will protect myself, so you don’t have to worry
You need to focus all your thoughts on your studies and get into the State Elementary School as soon as possible”
Ling Xiao solemnly responded, “Ah Shu, I will definitely work hard”
Ling Jingshu gave a pleased hmmm
The two siblings rambled on for a long time before Ling Xiao left
That night, Sun and Jiang each sent someone to send silver over
The place under the sky with the least amount of silver is the palace, and the place that needs to spend the most silver is also the palace
When you enter the palace as an official, you are unfamiliar with the personnel in the palace, so it is necessary to use silver to open the way first
Ling Jingshu also did not polite, all received
Thousands of taels of silver to stay with the side at any time, the other remaining thirty thousand taels, careful Baiyu will be divided into three, respectively, sewn into the silk jacket’s hidden pocket
Qiaoyun is quite sensible, when Bai Yu did these things, automatically avoided
After finishing this, it was already completely dark
Ling Jingshu ordered Bai Yu in a low voice, “Go and call Qiaoyun to come, I have some things to ask her”
Bai Yu was never talkative, so she answered and went to call Qiaoyun over
After Qiaoyun entered the house, Bai Yu quietly left the house and stood guard outside the doorMiss called the slave girl over, I wonder what my orders are?”
Qiao Yun respectfully opened her mouth
Under the bright candlelight, Ling Jingshu’s gaze was bright and sharp: “There’s no one else here, just the two of us, so there’s no need to beat around the bush with your words
You have already sent word to His Highness the Taisun about me entering the palace tomorrow, right!”
Qiaoyun frankly responded, “Yes, such an important matter, how dare the slave girl conceal it
In fact, even if the slave girl doesn’t pass the news back, His Highness the Great-grandson will also know”
The Emperor was seriously ill, and the Imperial Sun came to the palace every day to serve him, so it was impossible that he hadn’t heard of this matter
Ling Jingshu tugged at the corner of her lips, there was no smile in her eyes, “Then, His Highness the Great-grandson should also be aware of the fact that I intend to bring you into the palace with me!
I wonder if His Highness has any special orders?”
Qiaoyun deliberated briefly before replying, “His Highness passed orders to the slave girl, telling her to do whatever it takes to protect miss’s safety”
Ling Jingshu did not move, and said faintly, “In addition to that, were you also instructed to secretly collect news from the Pepper Room Palace?”
Qiaoyun didn’t say anything, and was considered to have acquiesced
Placing eyes and ears in the palace to collect news was by no means an easy task
Empress Xu had been operating in the palace for many years, with eyes and ears everywhere, it was not too much to say that the harem was Empress Xu’s world
Especially in the Pepper Room, the defense is even more strict
This time Ling Jingshu entered the palace, Qiaoyun could also enter the Pepper Room Hall with her, which was also considered an unexpected pleasureEven if His Highness didn’t have this order, I still have this intention”
Ling Jingshu’s tone eased a lot, “I am in the court, although I have the intention to contribute to His Highness, but I have the intention but not the ability, it is difficult to find out any useful information
Now that I can enter the Pepper Palace as an official, it is also considered lucky
You and Bai Yu two with me into the palace, Bai Yu is responsible for taking care of my food, clothing and living, you will secretly make friends with the palace maids in the Pepper Room Hall, to collect and spy news”I’m still not sure what duties I’ll be assigned, but since I’m entering the palace as a female officer, I’ll have the chance to see Empress Xu often and also have the chance to deal with the female officers in the Hall of Pepper Room
I’ll tell you everything I know, and you’ll secretly deliver the news to His Highness the Taisun”If His Highness commands me to look into anything, just command me as well, and I will never excuse myself”I called you over tonight to tell you this
You might as well pass it on to His Highness word for word”
Ling Jingshu was trying to show the Imperial Grandson her sincerity and determination!
Qiaoyun realized this, and busily answered with a straight face, “Slave girl obeys Miss’s command, and will go back to prepare and pass the news back overnight”
The night before her farewell, Ling Jingshu thought that she would have a lot of thoughts and find it difficult to sleep
However, she didn’t expect to fall asleep soon after going to bed
A dreamless night, a good night’s sleep
The next morning, Ling Jingshu washed and dressed, then led Bai Yu Qiaoyun to the inner hall
This day was an important day for Ling Jingshu to leave the house and go to the palace, everyone in the house was there to see Ling Jingshu off
The words that needed to be said had all been said these days, and the tears that needed to be shed had all been shed
As the farewell was approaching, even the most crybaby Ling Jingyan squeezed out a smile and said in a very cheerful tone: ”Ah Shu, from today onwards, you will be the female officer beside the Empress Dowager
You must do well in the palace, if you win the Empress’s favor, this cousin of mine will also have a bright face, and when you go out as a guest in the future, you will be able to hold your head up and I don’t know how many people will rush to flatter and curry favor with you”
Everyone was amused and laughed
Ling Jingshu also guffawed, “Yes, yes, yes, because of Cousin Yan, I also have to work hard to please the Queen”
Ling Jingyan smiled and came forward, quickly hugging Ling Jingshu and whispering in her ear, “Ah Shu, take care!”
