Chapter 139 Did you go the wrong way?

Since that day when Song Baoling told her about the conflict between aromatherapy and tea, the queen never came to see her again. She stayed with Song Baochai every day and everything was fine.

On this day, Song Baoling accompanied Song Baochai to visit the garden. When he was about to leave and return to the palace, he met Concubine Leng who was also coming to enjoy the flowers.

"Ling'er has met Concubine Leng."

Song Baoling bowed respectfully. She had learned a lot of palace rules in the palace these days, and Song Baochai's attitude towards her changed a lot.

Concubine Leng glanced at her indifferently and chuckled: "Jingling County Lord, you don't have to be so formal. Now you are a popular person in front of the Holy Lord. Maybe I will need you to help say good things in front of the Holy Lord in the future."

"Your Majesty's words are serious. Your Majesty has always treated your Majesty sincerely. Why do you need Ling'er's help?"

"That's true."

Concubine Leng did not make things difficult for her as expected, which made Song Baoling feel a little strange, but thinking that Jun Tingsheng had said that she had a huge power behind her, he became more vigilant.

Song Baochai stood aside and looked at the two of them. For some reason, she was a little afraid of Concubine Leng from the bottom of her heart, and rarely interacted with her after entering the palace.

"Maybe I'm a little tired from shopping just now. Don't blame me, sister. I'm going back to the palace first."

With that said, Song Baochai told Song Baoling, "Ling'er, I see that my sister seems to like you very much, so you can stay and talk to her. I will go back first."

Song Baoling saw that her expression was indeed not good, so she nodded obediently. After she left, Concubine Leng suddenly found an excuse to leave.

Thinking of what happened recently, Song Baoling felt that it was a bit unsafe to be alone, so she planned to return to Baohua Palace as soon as possible.

On the way, a palace maid blocked Song Baoling's way and said, "Jingling County Master, the Queen Mother wants to see you, please come with me."

When Song Baoling heard this, she immediately left with her. The queen had previously told her not to tell anyone else about the aromatherapy and tea. I wonder if this 'other people' included the Queen Mother.

At this time, Song Baoling looked up and looked ahead, but suddenly realized that this was not the way to the Queen Mother's palace.

"Did we go the wrong way? Here..."

Just as she was speaking halfway, Song Baoling suddenly heard footsteps behind her. As soon as she turned her head, she was picked up by someone.

"Who are you? Put me down quickly!"

The man ran forward quickly as if he hadn't heard, and the little palace maid just now disappeared. Song Baoling found that the man was walking towards the well, and a feeling of fear suddenly arose in his heart.

"Let her go!"

Jun Tingsheng's voice suddenly sounded, and Song Baoling was thrown to the ground before she could see clearly. Only then did she realize that the man was actually wearing eunuch's clothes.

"Ling'er!"

Jun Tingsheng yelled, and Song Baoling, who heard the sound, saw a figure rushing towards her, and subconsciously rolled to the side. When she straightened up, she saw that the little eunuch had fallen into the well.

She stared blankly at this scene, unable to relax. If...if Jun Tingsheng hadn't appeared in time, then the one who would die now would be...

"Ling'er."

Jun Tingsheng stepped forward to help her up from the ground. Seeing that her face was pale and she looked very frightened, he quickly reassured her: "It's okay, it's okay. I'm here and no one will hurt you."

Although she knew she was safe, Song Baoling still felt a little scared at this time, and she hugged Jun Tingsheng tightly without thinking.

Jun Tingsheng was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand and gently touched her head: "Don't be afraid, as long as I am here, you will be fine."

After Song Baoling calmed down, Jun Tingsheng planned to send her back to Baohua Palace and then find a way to get her out of the palace, but she refused.

"I can't leave."

Song Baoling looked at him seriously, "If the other party doesn't succeed this time, I'm afraid they won't let it go. I have to use the Queen Mother's name to find out who is harming me behind the scenes."

"No, this is too dangerous, you..."

"Don't worry, I'm free to exercise discretion, and nothing will happen to me."

Jun Tingsheng was worried and wanted to persuade him again, but Song Baoling was resolute. Seeing this, he had no choice but to leave first.

Ning'an Palace——

The Queen Mother looked solemnly at Song Baoling, who was already crying. "You get up first. The Ai family will send someone to investigate this matter."

After saying that, the Queen Mother told her confidant Jin Shuiyi: "Leave this matter to you. We must find out who dares to touch the people of the Ai family."

After Jin Shuiyi left, Song Baoling also stood up from the ground and continued to cry, "Thank you Queen Mother, my little girl was really frightened just now. I was almost afraid that I would not be able to see the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother looked at Song Baoling thoughtfully, and after a moment, asked: "You have always been smart, do you have any doubts about this matter?"

Song Baoling shook her head when she heard this, "My little girl has always been cautious in her words and deeds. She has never offended anyone. I really don't know who is plotting behind her."

"Originally, my daughter wanted to settle the matter, but the other party wanted to put her to death, so she had no choice but to come to the Queen Mother for protection."

The Queen Mother was dubious about Song Baoling's words from beginning to end. It had been decades since she entered the palace at a young age. She had seen all kinds of methods in the harem. If she had relaxed so easily, she might not have survived to this day.

Half an hour later, Jin Shuiyi came back to report what he had found. When he said that today's incident was related to Concubine Leng, Song Baoling cried again.

"Queen Mother, you must save me. I had a disagreement with the Third Prince last time. It must have been that time when Concubine Leng hated me."

"Now I have been arranged by the Holy One to be with Concubine Song. I think Concubine Leng is even more dissatisfied with me, so she wants to get rid of me. I beg the Queen Mother to be kind and save my life."

Song Baoling had a look of panic on her face, and her words were even more sincere. After hearing this, the Queen Mother just smiled indifferently.

"The harem is like government affairs. There are too many complicated things. Even being plotted is inevitable. The Ai family cannot cover everything."

"Besides, even if I help you, what good can it do to the Ai family?"

The Queen Mother's intention has been very obvious. If this matter is not beneficial to her, she will not help.

"My daughter knows that this matter has nothing to do with the Queen Mother, but she really can't find a place to live now. If the Queen Mother is willing to help, I will do her best to repay you."

After Song Baoling finished speaking, he saw that the Queen Mother was indifferent. After thinking for a moment, he continued: "I have a way to invite Concubine Song to the Queen's palace."

"Even if the Empress has no heirs, as long as Concubine Song gives birth to Lin'er, Lin'er will naturally belong to the Empress."

Hearing this, the Queen Mother smiled and nodded, "Yes, the Ai family is very satisfied with your proposal."

"It seems that I was right to keep you in the first place. The Aijia will still need you to continue to serve in the future."

When Song Baoling saw that it was done, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you to the Queen Mother for saving your life. Ling'er will definitely work hard for the Queen Mother."

After that, the Queen Mother rewarded Jin Shuiyi with a lot of jewelry and told the public that from now on, Song Baoling would often accompany her to worship Buddha.

If this happens, Concubine Leng will definitely not dare to act rashly again.
