When Bai Zhiling woke up from her sleep in the Flowerless Flower Pavilion, the sky had already darkened.

"Is the wangfei awake?"

"You're awake. Come in."

The full moon came in with hot water to wash her.

"Esteemed wangfei, after we returned, little Xi saw someone walking out of the courtyard towards the Peony Courtyard in the blink of an eye." the full moon whispered.

Xiao Xi was one of the people that Madam Huang gave her. She was an unremarkable person who swept maidservant away. She was an honest person.

"Sure." Bai Zhilingbai lightly tapped the table with her fingertips and nodded. Let Little Xi be more careful, don't let her do anything small. "

"Yes."

The people who were dealing with her this time were all talking casually and smiling. It was obvious that it wasn't some formally stopped killer. No matter how you looked at it, it was all done by the mother and daughter pair.

He definitely had to get revenge, but he wasn't in a hurry. If he wanted to play, then he would have to do something bigger!

Three days later, Bai Zhiling met Lee Qing in the back garden of the mansion.

This child really did have some ability. He was actually able to figure out her identity in such a short period of time, and was also able to quietly sneak into the Cloud King's Manor.

"Your mother is buried?"

"Yes, many thanks to wangfei for helping." Lee Qing also didn't think that the one who would help him in the alley would actually be the majestic Cloud King's Manor of an imperial concubine.

"Since you are able to find me here, are you thinking of the path that you will walk in the future?"

His previous self's reputation had been "managed" by Madam Huang and her daughter for so many years, and Lee Qing had been wandering the streets and alleyways all year round. Naturally, he had long heard of this wangfei.

"Lee Qing is willing to follow Princess Hua-Yang through life and death!"

"Alright, here's a hundred taels of silver. Take it first. If anything happens from now on, I'll send someone to look for you in the alleyway." These few days, what you need to do is ask me about the various doctors and doctors in the capital, and find out to what extent their medical skills have reached.

Although Lee Qing was a bit confused, he didn't try to be pretentious as he took the banknotes. Bai Zhiling raised her eyebrows. She liked his personality.

Bai Zhiling planned to leave the capital after she had left the Cloud King's Manor. She would be her usual practice from now on, and as the capital was the place with the largest economy and politics in the Little Zhou Country, the medical standards here should be the best as well. Thus, letting Lee Qing understand the medical standards would be of no small help to her in what she was about to do next.

On the fifth day after the banquet, the Empress Mother sent an imperial decree for Bai Zhiling to come to the palace.

Bai Zhiling was dug out of the quilt by the full moon early in the morning.

Along the way, there was a palace door leading a palanquin out. Previously, she did not receive such treatment.

Right now, she could be said to be the empress dowager's savior. An ordinary palace maid naturally wouldn't dare to disrespect her.

"Esteemed wangfei, the empress dowager and the other empress dowager are all waiting in the main hall. They're inviting you in right now."

"Thank you." Bai Zhiling walked into the hall that she had visited a few days ago. The only difference this time was that palace maid went up to help her up as soon as Bai Zhiling had finished saluting.

"Alright, we're all family so there's no need to be so courteous." Her Majesty's voice was much softer than before.

Bai Zhiling's attitude did not change at all. To her, these were just insignificant people.

When the Empress Mother saw Bai Zhiling standing there with her head lowered, she thought Bai Zhiling was nervous and smiled benignly at her.

"Come, come to my royal grandmother."

Bai Zhiling replied and went forward. Her Majesty then pulled her to sit on the pillar at her feet.

"Child, I didn't expect you to have such a high level of medical skills."

"Esteemed empress dowager, I heard that this child likes to learn new things when he's young. Madam Duke Jingxi was also a spoiled child, so she probably learned this medical knowledge at that time?"

The one who spoke was a round-faced beauty sitting at the bottom of the table. The empress dowager looked at Bai Zhiling with a puzzled expression and smiled. "You know a lot. She's Imperial Concubine Lin. She entered the palace with your cousin the same year as you."

Madam Huang had been indulging Bai Zhiling in all sorts of ways in front of the crowd, some might have thought that they were spoiling her, but which one of these noble circles were not smart? Madam Huang had been indulging Bai Zhiling in all kinds of ways in all kinds of ways, some might even think that they were spoiling her.

As soon as the empress dowager finished speaking, Huang Zhaoyi's expression changed. He smiled and said, "Sister Lin might not know this, but Zhiling loved these things since she was young and insisted on learning them. Eldest Aunt had no choice but to do so."

Bai Zhiling didn't want to be their target, so she lowered her head and didn't say a word.

The empress dowager had only allowed her to enter the palace in order to put on an act. After all, she had saved her life during the banquet.

"Some time ago, the emperor sent some things to This Dowager. It's useless for This Dowager to keep them, so I'll give them to you today." The empress dowager patted Bai Zhiling's hand with a smile.

Not long after, palace maid came in carrying a box. When he opened it, he found that it was filled with superior medicinal herbs!

Bai Zhiling's eyes lit up. The empress dowager giving her these things wasn't in vain after all. After all, these medicinal ingredients were often priceless.

"Many thanks for the empress dowager's gift."

After sitting for a while, the empress dowager was a little tired, so she sent the concubines back to their respective palaces.

Bai Zhiling was prepared to leave the palace after receiving the empress dowager's bestowment. There were too many rules here and she could kneel at any time. She didn't want to hurt her knees again.

Logically speaking, Huang Zhaoyi could have asked Bai Zhiling to come to her palace, but there was no need for them to sit together. Huang Zhaoyi did not say anything, and Bai Zhiling did not want to waste time with her.

"Princess Yun, please wait a moment." Just as she left the empress dowager's longevity palace, a little palace maid called out to her.

Bai Zhiling halted her steps as she looked at the approaching person.

"Princess Yun, this servant was served by Imperial Concubine Lin in the palace. Zhao Yi said that he found the wangfei rather pleasing to the eye the moment he saw her. He wanted to invite wangfei to take a seat at the palace, so he asked her to honor him."

palace maid said it politely, but if Bai Zhiling didn't go, who knows what she would say.

Imperial Concubine Lin was a competitor of Huang Zhaoyi, and the enemy of her enemy could be her friend.

Bai Tinglan didn't have the ability to reach her hand into the palace, so that Persian cat could very likely be Huang Zhaoyi.

"This Concubine will be troubling Imperial Concubine Lin."

Zhaoyi and above all had their own palaces. After a quarter of an hour, little palace maid brought Bai Zhiling to Imperial Concubine Lin's Sixi Palace.

Although Imperial Concubine Lin was the imperial concubine of the imperial harem, she was actually ranked even higher than Bai Zhiling. Thus, the two of them had only been lucky enough to meet each other before as a form of courtesy.

"Some time ago, my father sent some tea to the palace before the rain. I wonder if Princess Yun likes tea."

Imperial Concubine Lin was the daughter of the Assistant Minister of Revenue, Lin Zetian. Lin Zetian was only this kind of direct daughter, she had always been pained by his hand since she was young. Even when people entered the palace, they would think of ways to send items in.

Bai Zhiling picked up the porcelain cup and sniffed at it. The fragrance of the tea reminded her of someone.

"I wonder what matter Imperial Concubine Lin has brought this consort here for?"
