”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.
