Chapter 757: Qingan Palace (7)
This was all a conspiracy!
If the medicine fails, she would pour the tea instead. They would look for an opportunity until the end.
Bai Zhi’s complexion didn’t change and just smile while saying: “Thank you, Empress!”
When Bai Zhi left with the palace maid, the smile on Su Chun’s face gradually turned cold and had a bit trace of irony: “No matter how clever she is, she is still a little girl. You dare to fight with this empress? Your still tender!”
Bai Zhi went out of the front hall. When the palace maid led her to the back hall, she suddenly clutched her stomach and said that she needs to go to the comfort room.
There were windows in the comfort room for ventilation. The windows were not small, and there was one on each wall. In general, the person who will use the comfort room will close the windows and open them once they are done.
As soon as Bai Zhi entered the comfort room, she pushed open the closed window, looked over the wall, and used the bucket to jumped out to the other side.
The comfort room was originally built in an extremely remote place. After Bai Zhi jumped out, she took all the paths with no people and was lucky to find the side door of the Qingyuan Palace.
Thinking of Dongfang Wan’s instructions when she went out, she really needed help right now, so she racked her brain to find the Ruyi Palace where Concubine Shu lived.
Two eunuchs were guarding the palace gate. When they saw her, they naturally stopped her.
“Two gonggong, please kindly pass a message on behalf of me. I am a friend of Meng Gongzi. I have something to report.”
When the two eunuchs heard that she was a friend of Meng Nan, they immediately smiled. And one of them said: “Miss, just wait a minute, this slave will go to tell the lady.”
Not long after, the eunuch came back and led Bai Zhi into the palace without saying a word.
The Ruyi Palace was naturally not as rich as Qingan Palace, but it also looked very elegant, and with a faint floral fragrance floating in the air, which was refreshing.
“In this weather, where does the fragrance of flowers come from?” Bai Zhi asked the eunuch who led the way.
The eunuch said: “Concubine Shu has no other hobbies aside from raising some flowers and plants. When some flowers are about to wither, she will collect them and dry them under the sun. All the flowers here in this palace are being dried by the lady all by herself.”
No wonder the fragrance was not as strong as flowers. And it smells more comfortable than flowers.
While speaking, the eunuch had led her into the side hall, which was warmed by charcoal stoves. As soon as she entered from the outside, a burst of heat greeted her face. The coldness in her body finally eased a bit.
On a couch in the innermost part of the hall, a woman dressed in a simple and elegant palace dress was sitting, while holding a book in her hand seriously.
She glanced at her, but she could only see the side of her face. She looked beautiful. Sitting on the couch, her back was straight, her chin was slightly raised, and the neckline looked soft. Even she couldn’t help but stare at the lady for a bit more.
Although the appearance of this Concubine Shu in front of her was not a top-class beauty, she has an elegant manner that most men in this era was longing for!
In comparison, the Empress’s appearance was much better than Concubine Shu’s. The Empress looked more beautiful and gorgeous but doesn’t have this elegance and temperament. Instead, she looked sharp. This may be the reason why the emperor loved to dotes Concubine Shu more.
The eunuch stepped forward and reported: “Niang Niang, the person has arrived.”
Bai Zhi hurriedly stepped forward to pay respect, but she couldn’t help but sigh when she bent her knees. It was painful.
But who knows, before she knelt, Concubine Shu, who was sitting on the couch and reading a book, called for exemption.
Well, since she called for exemption, she didn’t try to be polite.
“Thank you, Concubine Shu!”
Only then did Meng Xuanling look up at her and saw that she was a fragrant-aged girl, wearing a plain and beautiful dress. Her beautiful dress was soiled, but she still looked very beautiful, and her eyes were very clear, just like her good friend.
