The two of them never got to know each other, and there was no need to beat around the bush.
Imperial Concubine Lin gave palace maid a meaningful glance. palace maid understood and left the room with the servants.
”To be honest, I do have a request for Princess Yun.”
Bai Zhiling blew on the tea in her porcelain cup and didn't answer.
Imperial Concubine Lin continued, ”Princess Yun also knows that I enter the palace in the same year as Huang Zhaoyi. Every month, I'll be able to gain the emperor's favor, but …” Imperial Concubine Lin paused for a moment before raising her head to look at Bai Zhiling. The meaning behind her words was obvious.
Compared to Huang Zhaoyi, Imperial Concubine Lin was doted on even more. However, she couldn't get pregnant for a long time. She had tried everything in the past few years, but nothing worked.
”Princess Yun's medical skills are powerful. I wonder if there's any problem with my body that she can show it to me?”
Bai Zhiling then put down the porcelain cup in her hand. I presume Zhaoyi has already been shown to the imperial physicians of the palace? ”
”I've seen it. I've taken quite a bit of medicine, but nothing happened.”
Bai Zhiling asked her to stretch out her hand and carefully check her pulse.
Strangely, the moment Bai Zhiling's hand touched Imperial Concubine Lin's hand, she could feel the hidden power slowly surging out from her body and slowly invading Imperial Concubine Lin's body through her fingers.
While she was still puzzled, she found that the movement of her fingers was clearer and more distinct. She could even clearly feel it in many subtle places.
Seeing that Bai Zhiling did not move for a long time, Imperial Concubine Lin's heart was moved as well.
After a long while, Bai Zhiling finally retracted her hand.
”Princess Yun, how is it? Is there a problem?”
Bai Zhiling frowned and did not say anything immediately. Imperial Concubine Lin, on the other hand, was even more worried.
In the harem, although one could rely on a high position of a concubine, if one was in the wrong position, that person would lose. How could it be better than having a son of his own?
”I heard that the Tenth Prince really likes that cat. I wonder how things are going with that cat since last time.”
Imperial Concubine Lin was waiting for Bai Zhiling to tell her about the results of the pulse examination, but upon hearing her words, she couldn't help but reply, ”The Tenth Prince really does like it. Princess Yun's medical skills are superb, and that cat is gradually recovering.”
Bai Zhiling looked down at her fingernails and smiled, ”Pet is naughty. Aren't you afraid that Huang Zhaoyi will hurt the Tenth Prince by accident if he lets the Tenth Prince play with him?”
Imperial Concubine Lin's thoughts moved when she heard this.
The Tenth Prince was like the eye of Huang Zhaoyi. It would be strange if he wasn't!
Thus, she usually had the cat tied with a rope, even when she was playing with the Tenth Prince. She didn't know why the cat would untie and rush into the main hall on the night of the banquet …
It was absolutely impossible to be careless, but the only choice was to deliberately do it …
Imperial Concubine Lin raised her head and looked at Bai Zhiling. The mother and daughter pair probably treated Bai Zhiling as a thorn in their side, and Huang Zhaoyi was Madam Huang's niece …
”Imperial Concubine Lin's body doesn't look like it'll be a problem, but …”
Imperial Concubine Lin knew that Bai Zhiling wanted to negotiate with her!
But, on what basis?
Could it be that without her, no one else would be able to cure her body?
Thinking of this, the smile in Imperial Concubine Lin's eyes faded.
Bai Zhiling naturally saw her reaction and said unhurriedly, ”Zhaoyi must have been dreaming for at least a few months. Even though she was very tired, she still couldn't sleep well.”
Imperial Concubine Lin opened her eyes and paused for a moment. ”That's right. The imperial physician said I was thinking too much, which is why …”
Bai Zhiling did not wait for her to finish before she smiled and shook her head. ”The more you think about it, the more it must be caused by your body's discomfort. So I guess the imperial physician just gave Imperial Concubine Lin some sleeping aid and tonics. I didn't know that, but that would only worsen Zhao Yi's illness.”
”What does Princess Yun mean by this?” If it was said that Imperial Concubine Lin didn't believe in Bai Zhiling's medical skills at all before, then now, she was completely convinced. Bai Zhiling wouldn't even know about these things, yet she was right about every single one of them.
