"Miss, Lan Yi went missing too suddenly, and since you are unconscious, it is normal for you to not be able to sense where she is. It's just that Miss, why did you suddenly faint that day? "

Zi Li stopped crying and helped Bai Zhixi walk out of the bed, walking towards the door.

Today's sunshine was perfect for her. Young miss coming out for a walk would help her recover, and as Zi Li thought of this, he carefully supported her.

"I …"

"Yo, isn't this Miss Bai? "Why, now that I'm willing to see someone, why don't I hide in my nest and pretend to be a villain?"

Bai Zhixi looked over, only to see Dongfang Yao being supported by a servant girl, carefully walking towards them.

"Greetings, Princess!"

Seeing that Dongfang Yao had walked in front of him, Bai Zhixi bowed to her.

But, this frightened Dongfang Yao. She looked at Bai Zhixi with her mouth agape, as if she was looking at a monster.

"Your Highness, is there something on my face? You just stare at me like that. "

Bai Zhixi naturally received the scorching gaze, and with a slight smile on his lips, he asked indifferently.

"No, I'm just not used to your appearance."

Dongfang Yao originally wanted to mock her for a bit, but the proverb was good: Reach out your hand and don't hit the smiling person. Bai Zhixi smiling at her made her feel a little unaccustomed.

With a light snort at Bai Zhixi, he brought his servant girl and walked out the door.

"Miss, you seem to have changed?"

Zi Li who was at the side sneaked a glance at his young miss, and asked the question that came from the bottom of his heart.

"Is that so? "Maybe!"

Bai Zhixi laughed involuntarily, she watched as Dongfang Yao left, her beautiful face had a layer of arrogance that did not seem to be her usual self, but there was a sense of maturity and steadiness.

After this calamity, she understood some things.

In this continent that oppressed people, she didn't have the strength to protect the people around her, so it was better for her to be cautious.

If it wasn't for him being too overbearing, Lan Yi might still be in his body, and his whereabouts wouldn't be unknown.

Instantly, he blamed himself in his heart.

"Miss, Esteemed Empress Dowager is here."

Zi Li looked at the empress dowager who was getting closer and closer. Ever since the young miss had beaten up Miss Shangguan, the empress dowager had ordered her to be grounded in the courtyard.

But today, seeing that the young lady's complexion was not bad, he did not remind her of this matter.

She didn't expect her luck to be so bad that she'd run into the empress dowager. What should she do now?

"This humble daughter pays her respects to esteemed empress dowager!"

When the empress dowager walked in front of her, Bai Zhixi quickly bowed to her.

"Pah!"

Suddenly, a powerful slap landed on her face, causing Bai Zhixi's ears to ring.

Covering her face, she suddenly raised her head and saw the empress dowager standing in front of Bai Zhixi, her face filled with anger.

It was obvious that the slap just now had originated from her hand.

"How dare you disobey my orders?"

Bai Zhixi now only felt his head spinning, his body swaying uncontrollably.

Hearing Her Majesty say so, she felt puzzled and did not know where she had offended the elderly woman.

"This humble girl …"

"Senior Servant Qi, give me a slap on the face." Let her know who it is that can't be offended. "

She waved her hand to the back, and Senior Servant Qi and four to five maidservant s immediately surrounded Bai Zhixi and his daughter.

Before they could even react, the master and servant were both separated, and Zi Li was being held captive by the two maidservant s, unable to move.

"Esteemed Empress Dowager, forgive this commoner for speaking so bluntly. This commoner somehow offended Esteemed Empress Dowager, to the point that you can't tolerate me anymore. This commoner repeatedly tried to kill me."

When she saw that Senior Servant Qi's palm was flying towards her, she quickly grabbed it. She looked coldly at the venomous face of the empress dowager.

"How did you offend me?" Heh … Don't you dare tell me that you have forgotten everything that you and your maidservant have done? "

The empress dowager walked forward and looked down at her, undisguised hatred in her eyes.

After Bai Zhixi heard it, he couldn't help but look at Zi Li, asking her what exactly had happened while she was unconscious?

"What's going on?"

Cold words came out of her pale, colorless lips, and beads of sweat dripped from her forehead. No one knew that her headache was so severe that it felt like it was about to split open. If it wasn't for the esteemed empress dowager looking at her with fierce eyes, she would have long since fainted.

"Miss …"

Zi Li had originally wanted to be good to her and tell her that he had met the empress dowager today, but he was forced to tell her everything that had happened in the past few days.

When Bai Zhixi heard this, her beautiful eyes instantly dilated and her lips slightly parted, yet not a single sound came out.

Lan Yi had accidentally killed An Lan, and now that she was missing, it was probably because she had killed someone and escaped.

An Lan was the child of Situ Guo's uncle, and he had doted on her greatly. That was why he arranged to place her by Dongfang Yao's side as the maidservant. He probably wanted to contact the princes and sons of officials in the imperial palace.

Now that he had been beaten to death, Uncle Situ probably wouldn't let this matter rest.

"What's wrong? Do you remember now? Then scram back into your small courtyard and stay there. You are not allowed to take a step outside until you return to the capital without my order. "

The empress dowager's pitch-black eyes swept across her with a cold gaze, as frightening as a bottomless black hole.

When Bai Zhixi heard this, a wry smile appeared on his dried up lips. She knew that the empress dowager was trying to put her under house arrest.

However, the thought of Shangguan Jing being injured by her and now lying unconscious in bed, she could not help but blame herself.

"Esteemed Empress Dowager, I'd like to see Jing Yan, is that possible?"

Bai Zhixi forced himself not to feel well as he knelt in front of the empress dowager, begging her.

"You're not qualified!"

As soon as the empress dowager finished speaking, she flung her sleeves and headed towards Shangguan Jingyan's residence.

Ever since she accidentally injured Shangguan Jingyan, there were only the two of them in the courtyard that the three of them used to live in.

"Miss, let's go back!"

Zi Li carefully helped her up, his eyes filled with pain.

"Zi Li, do you still have something to say to me?"

Bai Zhixi said indifferently.

Looking at the evasive look in the little girl's eyes, he knew that she must have something to hide from him.

"Miss, forget it!"

Zi Li thought that he hid his strength well, and upon hearing her say this, he hesitated. He didn't know whether he should tell her or not.

"Speak, you should know my character."

Returning back to the small courtyard, Bai Zhixi laid on the ground and listened to what Zi Li had to say about what had happened in the temple.

So it turned out that Shangguan Jingyan was actually the Empress as calculated by Master Pu Hai.

Hearing this, Bai Zhixi was not very surprised. With Shangguan Jingyan's talent, she should be the one sitting in the Empress's seat.

On the other hand, because her life was too tough, the empress dowager directly ordered her to never do anything else.

She did not want to be infected with the royal aura and did not want to participate in the battle of the palace, which was filled with the miasma of smoke. She was extremely pleased with this outcome.

Although the empress dowager did not publicly say what Shangguan Jingyan wanted to say, all the young ladies living in the temple already knew about it.

He went to see if he could enter the palace and become his concubine. Even if he didn't want to, he would still be rejected.

The most difficult person to accept was none other than Bai Zhiru. When he heard that Shangguan Jingyan was the future Empress, he shattered a lot of precious china in the temple.

Relying on her status as the empress's goddaughter, she beat up several ladies in the same courtyard.

When the Empress Dowager learned of this matter, she was enraged. On that day, she secretly sent someone back to capital.

Master Rupu's words were, "This woman's fate is too tough, she cannot be left behind." Otherwise, it will bring disaster to the common people. "

Because of this, Bai Zhixi became the champion of the Bane, and many mistresses avoided her like snakes and scorpions.

There were even rumors in the temple that Shangguan Jingyan had trusted the wrong person, which was why she had caused him to fall unconscious.

Dongfang Chen did not hesitate to travel a thousand miles in order to obtain the medicinal ingredients for Shangguan Jingyan. He did not want to be ambushed on the way and get injured in the arm by the hidden arrow.

The empress dowager had naturally placed all of this on Bai Zhixi and believed that it was due to her karmic luck that her grandson was injured. She had already ordered her to not take even half a step out of the courtyard.

After Bai Zhixi heard this, he felt that it was extremely funny.

However, this also saved her some trouble. There was no need to worry about getting caught up in the whirlpool.

At night, the silence was like still water, so cold that it seeped into his heart.

Bai Zhixi lied on his bed as he thought about the events of the day.

Two days later, it would be the annual Blessing Festival, the day that the Jade Cloud Temple would be opened to the public.

Early in the morning, the monks of the Bi Yun Temple had just opened the gates to the mountain. One by one, the people that had been waiting outside the entire day entered the temple.

Immediately, the quiet and secluded temple was filled with a sea of people, bustling with noise and excitement.

"Miss, today is the day that Biyun Temple opens its doors to the public. Let's go and beg the Seven Holy Trees!" May the young miss recover quickly and be with her beloved. "

Appearance?

Hearing that, Bai Zhixi's face had a bitter smile, he was afraid that she no longer had the qualifications to talk about such a relationship.

Ever since the rumors started circulating, he had never appeared by his side again. Presumably, he was just afraid of those rumors.

"Alright!"

After a long while, the beauty in the mirror was like a painting, and her red lips were like an orchid as she spoke.

Bai Zhixi brought Zi Li to the door, and met the approaching Shangguan Jingyan head on.

"Xi Er..."

Bai Zhixi was about to turn around, but he didn't want to be chased over.

"Miss Shangguan, please let go. You and I are not familiar with each other. "

Bai Zhixi turned around, his eyes as calm as still water. The words were like icicles, cold enough to pierce the bones.

"Xi Er, you must believe me, I am not the one who said those rumors. Even if you hurt me accidentally, I don't blame you. "

Hearing this, Shangguan Jingyan's beautiful face showed anxiousness. It wasn't easy for her to meet a friend she could befriend, so she didn't want to miss it like this.

"Jing Yan, you and I are no longer the young miss of the Tai Bei Manor and Prime Minister's Estate. You are the chosen one to be the Empress chosen by Master Pu Hai, and I … It was a bane that made people avoid it like snakes and scorpions. Since you see me as your friend, you should stay away from me. Sometimes, in the face of the glory of a family, what we call love and friendship can't be counted on, can it? "Remember, cherish everything you have!"

Bai Zhixi held Shangguan Jingyan's hand and said gently.

She was well aware that Shangguan Jingyan genuinely loved Dongfang Chen and had nothing to do with the position of Empress.
