Bai Zhiru stood on the ice-cold ground and instantly let out a bitter laugh:

How could he forget that he was the lofty prince, and that he was just like an ant, a survivor, two people who could not possibly interact with each other, how could they announce such an extravagant wish?

"What's wrong? I can't remember? How did you know, you silly old man, that this method could alleviate typhoid fever? Speak, who exactly are you? "

The empress dowager squinted her phoenix eyes and shot a killing intent straight at Bai Zhixi, slapping the table with a "pa" sound. The scalding tea floated onto Bai Zhixi's hands, as a scorching and burning sensation assaulted him.

She frowned and knelt on the cold, bone-piercing ground with a plop. She lowered her head and suppressed the anger in her chest. If it wasn't for taking into account her grandfather's situation, she would have already left without a care.

She no longer wanted to submit to anyone in this life.

At the same time, he felt extremely vexed. It was all his fault for speaking so shamelessly and insisting on wading in this muddy water. Now, it was truly impossible to get down from the tiger's back, so he could only bite the bullet and reply.

"To reply esteemed empress dowager, this commoner used to play games with her older sisters and sisters in the woodshed. She'd shut the doors and windows and lock herself up everywhere without the slightest trace of elegance." They covered their mouths and noses with rags, unable to breathe. When the maidservant realized that he was saved, he would help the commoner open the windows in their surroundings, allowing her to breathe easier. "When I saw Esteemed Empress Dowager act like this just now, I thought of myself and braced myself to open the window. Who knew that this commoner's luck would be so good that it might accidentally lessen your discomfort? May Esteemed Empress Dowager make it clear."

She lay on the ground for several minutes before she could finish her words. Now, regardless of whether the empress dowager believed it or not, there was no way to directly convict her.

After a long while, the palace was silent and lifeless. The empress dowager leaned lightly against the soft couch and dozed off. She did not speak, and no one dared to speak carelessly. For a moment, there was silence, a terrifying silence.

Bai Zhixi lay on the ground, feeling drowsy. The cold wind was blowing and he could not help but shiver.

In the eyes of outsiders, she must have been scared, but only Jun Mohan knew that she was sleeping. She was truly bold, and the person who dared to sleep under the empress dowager's nose was the strongest person in all of history.

"Royal Grandmother, it's winter right now, so sleeping outside is easy to catch cold. At that time, your grandson will be guilty of his crimes. "How about this grandson help you enter the house to rest!"

Jun Mohan looked at Bai Zhixi who was originally kneeling on the ground. Her Majesty had been reminded that she hoped to save some girl who did not know her place.

"Mo'er, do you think that what she said was true?"

The empress dowager opened her eyes abruptly, she glanced at Bai Zhixi who was sprawled on the ground sleeping, and a trace of disgust flashed past her eyes as she spoke unhurriedly.

"Replying to Imperial Grandmother, I can testify for her that she accidentally alleviated your illness. Being entrusted by the Old General Bai, she had always lived within the clan's Duke Palaces. She had some understanding of her personality, and unlike her normal appearance, she would occasionally go crazy. "Royal Grandmother, you don't need a brain-damaged person to make a fuss and lose face."

Jun Mohan sat on the chair, took a sip of tea, and said indifferently.

Her aversion to her was palpable.

Hearing his words, the Empress Dowager frowned. Her beautiful eyes flickered with words, indicating Bai Zhixi to stand up.

Bai Zhixi who was kneeling on the ground heard everything, and when his eyes became hazy, he was pulled up by Jun Mohan. He smiled foolishly at the empress dowager.

"Well, you don't have to pretend to show me. This one may be old, but I'm not so blind as to recognize the truth. The reason I asked you to come here tonight is to ask for something from Miss Bai. Since you have come to your senses, that thing has no meaning to you anymore. How about we borrow it from This Dowager and wait for This Dowager's illness to be completely cured before we return it to you? "

The empress dowager looked at Bai Zhixi with extremely gentle eyes, as though she was a completely different person from when she scolded her earlier, and spoke softly.

This was the Empress Dowager's ultimate goal, but what was so important that she was summoned into the palace late at night?

"To reply Esteemed Empress Dowager, this humble daughter woke up naked. I really don't know what could help you recover from your illness. If this humble daughter knew, she wouldn't have said much and would've immediately given it to Esteemed Empress Dowager."

Bai Zhixi was confused now, other than a broken courtyard for her to hide her body from the wind and rain, the rest of her Prime Minister's Estate was nothing else.

"You really don't know? Or do you not want to save This Dowager? "

The empress dowager's eyes were half-lidded with a hint of chilliness, making them seem sinister and malevolent in this dark palace. Otherwise, the chilliness would have seeped into her heart in an instant.

"This humble girl …"

"What is Imperial Sister-in-Law doing?" Do you think a silly girl like him would have such a evil being? "

Following the wild and low voice of the man, Bai Zhixi suddenly raised his head and saw the Old Duke walk in with large strides.

Tears welled up in her eyes, and soon after, her vision blurred. In the blink of an eye, her tall figure stood right in front of her, and she threw herself into her warm embrace.

From time to time, some of the wind would specially enter the carriage and Bai Zhixi would hazily move closer to the source of the warmth.

She remembered how she had left the Palace. Now that she knew it was safe, her anxious heart finally calmed down and she fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, when the sun was high in the sky, bright sunlight shone in from outside the window. On the bed made from rosewood, there was a beauty that looked like a painting.

Only, one couldn't judge a book by its cover.

The beauty in the painting roughly kicked off the quilt, her feet hung high up, and she even cursed a few times, destroying this beauty.

"Lan Yi, where are you? "Come and dress your young lady, I'm starving …"

In the vast Duke Palace, a lazy and satisfied female voice came out from Mo Yuxuan, and interrupted the conversation of the young people drinking tea in the pavilion. Everyone looked at Jun Mohan with a deeper meaning, and looked at each other.

"She is Prime Minister Bai's niece, and has been studying here for the past few days."

After Jun Mohan finished speaking, he did not care about the suspicious gazes from the young people and continued to drink his tea.

Seeing the closed door of the room being pushed open by a maidservant, everyone stretched their necks out curiously, as if they wanted to see through the beauty inside.

"Miss, you are so beautiful today. You will definitely compare yourself to Miss Shangguan in this courtyard."

Hearing Lan Yi's words, Bai Zhixi looked towards the blurry copper mirror only to see the girl in the mirror wearing a light purple dress with a light pink Gardenia Flower embroidered on her body. His hair was tied up in a loose bun and inserted diagonally into a light purple hairpin. He appeared rather casual yet elegant. Slightly applied makeup, red lips and not point to red.

It was true that there was a beauty in the north, a beauty that could topple empires. The beautiful and enchanting plum blossom in the courtyard had become her background.

"There are so many beauties in the world. Only the beautiful heart and soul are truly beauties. Don't praise your young miss for saving her, I will be proud! "

Bai Zhixi winked at Lan Yi's lower jaw in a charming manner. She was as beautiful as a qian bei and scattered like a butterfly through the forest, yet her eyes were captivating.

When Lan Yi came back to his senses, all that was left was a playful back as he hurried to follow her.

Ah!" "The beauty is here …

Everyone looked towards the source of the sound and saw a purple figure walking towards them. Her charming face was hidden by the tall red plum blossoms, making her look like a fairy. She could not help but stretch out her neck, waiting for her to come over.

Bai Zhixi had actually wanted to bid farewell to Jun Mohan and move out of the clan's Duke Palace. Now that the snow had stopped and the sun was shining, it wouldn't be difficult to find a place to stay.

She had often caused trouble for them during her stay at the Crown Prince's Palace, and she felt bad about it.

But when she saw Dongfang Chen and the others in the pavilion, her eyes crinkled deeply. She thought back to last night at the Palace of Tzu Ning, where the empress dowager had an unstable temper, and didn't want to get involved with too many people in the palace. She confidently left.

Unexpectedly, she ran into a arms full of masculinity. She abruptly raised her head and froze there, unable to react for a long time.

"Hey, beauty, we meet again."

In her arms, Nangong Xuan felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey as she smiled foolishly while standing there.

"Nangong Xuan, have you gone silly! The beauty has left a long time ago, and is still smirking here. "

Mo Feiling stood in front of Nangong Xuan with a faint smile. He slapped his head with a fan as he watched Bai Zhixi's departing figure. A faint smile appeared on his face. He looked as if he owed Nangong Xuan a good beating.

"Mo Feiling, are you sick! "Go away, don't block my way to see a beauty."

Nangong Xuan struck out with his palm towards Mo Feiling, but his eyes were anxiously following that purple-colored figure. That woman he met earlier, had always been dreaming of being tied down by her, and now that he had met her, he had a reason to let her slip away.

"Lan Yi, let's go out! "Go and find a better location to buy it. There will also be a place to settle in in in the future."

Seeing that the young miss of his clan was rushing back, and yet was anxious to leave the house, Lan Yi thought that this matter was extremely urgent. He exchanged a look with Zi Li and quickly followed her out.

"Where are you going?"

Just as she reached Mo Yuxuan's door, she bumped into Jun Mohan and the others who were rushing towards her. Hearing the cold, bone-piercing voice, she was startled. She immediately stopped her foot that had just stepped out of the door.

"I... It's sunny today, so can't I go out and relax? "

Bai Zhixi was slightly angered. She kept herself away from him, because she did not want the royalty to be involved. She was afraid that she would be trapped in water and fire and be unable to free herself.

"Prince Mo, I think Miss Bai is just staying in your deep wall courtyard to vent her anger. The weather is so clear today, if Miss Bai does not mind, I am willing to serve you and bring you around to see the scenery of capital. "

Dongfang Chen said gently as he walked to her side and looked at the tense atmosphere. That voice was like the warm sun in winter, amiable and not gentle. It blew across the hearts of everyone present, making them feel very comfortable.
