C24 (1/2)
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.
