Bai Zhi was giving the Empress Dowager an acupuncture treatment inside. After the acupuncture was completed, the palace maid quickly put on the Empress Dowager’s clothes and covered her with the brocade quilt. The medicine had been melted, the temperature was just right. Everything was going orderly. It can be seen that the Empress Dowager has capable people around her, who can train these palace maids very well.

A palace maid approached Bai Zhi and asked in a low voice, “Doctor Bai, Prince Xiao is here. He is waiting in the garden outside. Should we invited him in?”

The last time she saw Prince King Xiao was at the Yamen. After taking a glance, she noticed that his appearance seemed to be somewhat similar to Hu Feng. The looked in his eyes give her a deep impression. They were filled with gloominess. His eyes resembled Hu Feng’s, but Hu Feng’s eyes looked wise and bright.

In short, he was not as good as Hu Feng in any aspect.

Thinking of Chu Feng’s relationship with Bai Zhenzhu, she felt a little nauseous. So she said to the palace maid: “I will go to the back hall to concoct medicine. If there is anything wrong, please call me again.”

Which palace maid who served the Empress Dowager has no brain? Seeing the look on Bai Zhi’s face, the palace maid knew that she didn’t want to see Prince Xiao, and so she trying to avoid him.

The palace maid said with a smile: “This slave understands. Doctor Bai, you can go to the south chamber to refine the medicine. That is the Empress Dowager’s fourth warm flower room. Men are not allowed to enter there.”

Bai Zhi winked at the palace maid and said: “Thank you, sister!”

When Bai Zhi left, the palace maid turned to go outside and invited Chu Feng in.

As soon as Chu Feng entered the hall, he didn’t look at the Empress Dowager, who was lying on the bed, he looked around in the hall. He didn’t find the person he was looking for, so he immediately asked: “Where is Doctor Bai?”

The palace maid lowered her eyes and replied: “His Royal Highness, Doctor Bai said that she will refine the medicine for the Empress Dowager and went to the back hall.”

Chu Feng frowned and said in displeased: “She doesn’t know that this prince is here?”

The palace maid replied: “Doctor Bai said that the Empress Dowager needs to take this medicine as soon as possible, and cannot be delayed!” Although she met this doctor for only a few days, Doctor Bai treated them very well. Seeing them watching during the night, she let them take turns to rest and delivered them supper from the dining room. Although this new year has been chaotic, the kindness of Doctor Bai has really warmed their hearts.

Helping her to cover a few words in front of Prince Xiao was just a matter of opening her mouth.

Even if he was being blocked by the palace maid, Chu Feng’s big temper dissipate.

Compared with the health of the Empress Dowager, what was this little disrespect? He couldn’t punish her for this, and he couldn’t justify it.

Chu Feng said in his heart: Even if you out go to refine medicine, you will come back anyway. This prince will wait for you here, and can still see you.

Seeing this, the palace maid named Qing Lian quietly went to the back hall and found Bai Zhi, who was resting in the courtyard.

Bai Zhi leaned on the recliner to bask in the sun, her beautiful eyes were tightly closed. Now she has light dark circles under her eyes. She was holding a small fan and fanning the fire in the small stove. The fan was about to slip off, but then Qing Lian stepped forward to catch it. She really couldn’t bear to disturb her. However, she was afraid that she would catch a cold when she slept like this, so she simply took off her outer coat and covered her, while she sat by the small stove to fan the fire to keep her warm.

Half an hour later, there was a bird cry sounded from the fragrant tree in the courtyard, which awakened Bai Zhi.

She shook her head and sat up from the reclining chair, only to realize that she was covered with Qing Lian’s robe. And Qing Lian was squatting on the side to fan the fire.

“Look at me. I fell asleep?” She got up and returned the coat to Qing Lian.

Qing Lian smiled and said: “You are too tired. Since you came to Cifu Palace on New Year’s Eve, you haven’t slept well. Look at the dark circles under your eyes. If Prince Jin sees this, he will scold us for not taking care of it you.”
