Chapter 858: Something that shouldn’t be there

Bai Zhi nodded her head: “I’ll get my medicine box.”

The eunuch busily said: “No need, the empress just want to talk to you, not to treat the illness. Just leave your medicine box here.”

Is that so? Her heart slightly turned cold, but her facial expression didn’t change: “Alright.” Bai Zhi then turned to look at Imperial Doctor Xu and said, “Imperial Doctor Xu, Prince Jin will come to pick me up later. We will meet here, but now that I am going to Qing’an Palace. Please tell him that so that he doesn’t have to wait for me.”

Imperial Doctor Xu responded but felt strange in his heart. Just now, Bai Zhi said that she was going to the Ruyi Palace, she didn’t say that she and Prince Jin will meet.

With a face full of doubt, Bai Zhi blinked at him again. Imperial Doctor Xu’s heart trembled. He seemed to understand something.

When Bai Zhi left with the eunuch, his face sank.

Doctor Zhang said: “The Empress is the birth mother of Prince Xiao. Prince Xiao and Prince Jin are in a heated state. Miss Bai is Prince Jin’s fiancée. So what is the empress trying to do?”

Speaking of these, the complexions of the three imperial physicians turned bad.

Imperial Doctor Xu said: “Just now, Miss Bai asked me to tell this to Prince Jin, she should be likely asking for Prince Jin for help. I have to go to Prince Jin. You all stay here and stand by on duty.”

Imperial Doctor Zhong said: “You may not find Prince Jin now. When I came, I heard that Prince Jin went to the city defense camp. It is estimated that he won’t be able to return to the capital in the afternoon.”

“What should we do? What if something happened to Miss Bai in Qing’an Palace?” He became anxious. In his heart, he had already regarded Bai Zhi as a good teacher and a friend. He attached great importance to her and doesn’t want her to have an accident.

In the end, Doctor Zhang was not young so he has a lot more ideas: “You two, I have a plan.”

In Qing’an Palace

Bai Zhi came to Qing’an Palace with the eunuch. This was her second time coming here, but she still has the same expression just like the last time. Everything seemed like cannot enter her eyes. As if everything was blurred.

“I’ve seen the Empress!”

The Empress was wearing a gorgeous phoenix robe, sitting upright in the chair. Her eyebrows were curved, she seemed to be smiling, but her eyes looking at Bai Zhi was extremely cold.

“Get up!”

When Bai Zhi got up, a smile gradually appeared on the Empress’s face: “I’m very much looking forward to seeing you again. Since the last time you left in a hurry, this empress has been thinking about you, day and night.”

Left in a hurry? Thinking day and night?

Bai Zhi said inside her heart. The empress seemed to be gritting her teeth just now. She must have prepared a series of traps to deal with her.

Bai Zhi also smiled and said: “The Empress, this young lady suddenly felt uncomfortable the last time. I don’t want to disturb you, so I walked away quietly. I hope the empress doesn’t blame for being rude.”

The Empress waved her hand lightly: “You don’t need to mention the previous thing.”

Bai Zhi said inside her heart: This thing was not mentioned by me, it was obviously you who mentioned it.

“Give her a seat!” the queen ordered.

The palace maid immediately moved a nanmu armchair with soft and thick cushions inside.

Because this was the Empress’s territory. Bai Zhi naturally put her guard up. She stared at the cushion in the chair and saw some clues.

Last time, the Empress put a medicine in the tea. She saw through it so she didn’t dare to take a sip. This time, the Empress wouldn’t be as stupid as before. She will find another way.

Bai Zhi remembered that when she came last time, there was also a cushion in the chair, but it was not so thick. She can also see that the cushion the Empress was sitting on was not so thick.

When the palace maid walked away, the sunlight passed through and reflected inside. Bai Zhi saw several light flashes on the smooth cushion.

She’s afraid that there were some things hidden in this cushion that shouldn’t be there!
