Imperial Doctor Xu nodded his head: “I never tell lies. Houye must have known this.”

Pei Qinghan nodded his head with a complicated complexion. Yes, Imperial Doctor Xu never lied. Dongfang Mu once asked him to come to the Houfu for a check-up. He only visited once, but he suspected Dongfang Wan’s illness was strange. No matter what he found out, he will not hide it.

From then on, Dongfang Mu’s attitude towards him changed dramatically and he refused to believe him anymore.

Pei Qinghan never let Imperial Doctor Xu enter the Houfu again. He hated him so much. But now, he was extremely grateful. If it weren’t for him, Dongfang Mu wouldn’t be guarded against him. Not to mention, he wouldn’t look for another person to treat Dongfang Wan.

Without these events, maybe Dongfang Wan would be dead by now.

When Imperial Doctor Xu finished talking, the guard went back to the door and asked Imperial Doctor Xu to go in, but he ignored Pei Qinghan.

Pei Qinghan leaned forward and asked the young man: “Wan’er still refuses to see me?”

The guard looked at him but didn’t reply and simply closed the gate.

Looking at the closed gate, Pei Qinghan looked bitter and regretful.

If there was any regret medicine in the world, he will buy it even if he has to spend all his wealth.

It was a pity, that even if he loses his life, there will be no regret medicine in this world.

When Imperial Doctor Xu entered the mansion, he was led directly to the courtyard where Bai Zhi lived.

In the small hall, Hu Feng was applying medicine to Bai Zhi. The back of her fair white hand, not only reddened but also has a few large blisters.

When Imperial Doctor Xu came in, he saw Hu Feng holding Bai Zhi’s hand with a distressed look on the face, while gently rubbing the ointment and blowing on it from time to time. He looked just like a loving father applying medicine to his darling daughter.

“What’s wrong?” Imperial Doctor Xu hurriedly asked.

Bai Zhi said to the maidservant beside her: “Serve tea.”

Imperial Doctor Xu stepped forward and looked at her wounds. It was only a scald, which was not too serious. After applying a good ointment, the scars would not remain, so he felt relieved.

“Why did you hurt your hand?” Imperial Doctor Xu asked.

Bai Zhi didn’t answer, instead, asked: “You came for the Empress Dowager’s illness?”

Imperial Doctor Xu was taken aback: “How do you know?”

Bai Zhi smiled and said: “I just came back from the palace, and this injury was also given by the empress dowager.”

Imperial Doctor Xu didn’t understand: “How could this be? Why did the empress dowager treat you like this?” He really couldn’t figure out, Bai Zhi was her lifesaver. Without Bai Zhi’s niuhuang pills, the empress dowager would have crooked eyes and mouth. She wouldn’t be able to speak easily.

Bai Zhi shrugged her shoulders: “God knows, she is the empress dowager. She will do whatever she wants. Everyone is like mud in her eyes that she could trample on!”

Hu Feng raised his head and stared at her: “Who dares to treat you like mud?”

Bai Zhi chuckled: “I’m just making an analogy, you don’t take it seriously.”

Hu Feng shook his head: “No, even if it’s just an analogy.” He turned his head and asked Imperial Doctor Xu: “What are you doing here? Hurry up, and Zhi’er will have a rest soon.”

Imperial Doctor Xu was a little embarrassed. The empress dowager just injured Bai Zhi, and now he wants Bai Zhi to ask for her treatment?

Bai Zhi knew very clear what was going. After seeing the face of the empress dowager just now, she guessed something. And now that Imperial Doctor Xu came to her door in person, she confirmed her guess.

If it was ordinary time, she would definitely help him solve his problem without a second thought, but right now, she was really not in the mood.

That look on the face of Empress Dowager when looking at her really made her angry.

What did she do wrong? Why should she be treated like this? Who was in the wrong, does she really don’t know in her heart?
