The Empress Dowager smiled and patted Su Chun’s hand: “The empress has a heart!” Looking at Su Chun, the Empress Dowager remembered what Chu Feng had said before, so she asked: “What is going on with the marriage between Feng’er and The Pei Family’s daughter?” The Empress felt embarrassed because Bai Zhi was still here. Some words were really hard to say in front of Bai Zhi. The Empress Dowager understood her silence, and immediately said: “You all retreat, this empress dowager and the empress have something to say!” Bai Zhi originally doesn’t want to stay any longer. She doesn’t know how much energy it would take to deal with these people, and it was meaningless. So it wasn’t strange that some popular novels said that many beautiful women don’t want to become concubines and were more willing to give up wealth and honor for freedom. She also doesn’t want this kind of wealth. She might as well return to Huangtou Village and live as a mountain village girl with ease. * When Bai Zhi and Imperial Doctor Xu withdrew from the inner hall, Bai Zhi hurriedly straightened her waist and beat her sore waist. Now, she knew why the eunuchs in the palace mostly have hunched back. They bow all day long, so how can they not have a hunch back? Bai Zhi walked forward as she pondered about these things. She forgot that Imperial Doctor Xu came out with her. a Imperial Doctor Xu busily called her out: “Miss Bai, please stay!” Bai Zhi turned around and saw Imperial Doctor Xu rushing towards her. She smiled and said: “Is there something wrong, Imperial Doctor Xu?” Imperial Doctor Xu laughed and said: “There is nothing wrong. I just want to thank Miss Bai!” Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow and asked: “Oh? Thank me for what?” Imperial Doctor Xu hurriedly said: “Miss Bai generously gave me that miraculous pill. This old man deeply admires you.” “Didn’t you thank you last time?” And it’s not just a thank you, it’s a thousand thank you! Imperial Doctor Xu scratched his head, his old face full of wrinkles showed a shy expression: “Well, although you gave me the prescription and taught me the steps, I still couldn’t do it even after trying for several times. So I thought, so I thought – can you please go to the Imperial Hospital, and give us some pointers!” Us? Give pointers? He wanted her to go to the imperial hospital to teach them, Imperial Doctors, how to refine Niuhuang Pills? It’s not that she was stingy, but it’s not something she wants to do. These Niuhuang Pills were not difficult to refine. What’s difficulty was the process, it takes hours, and the heat to be used was extremely difficult to grasp. If she teaches them, it is equivalent to staying up all day and night. She has heavy eyelids now, how can she do it? Bai Zhi thought for a while and said to Imperial Doctor Xu: “In that case, let me rest for a day. When I have enough energy, I will go to the Imperial Hospital to teach you again. It will be useless for me to go with you now. I can barely stand due to sleepiness, I won’t be able to teach you.” Words can be faked, but the black eye under her eyes can’t be faked. Imperial Doctor Xu also stayed with her for the whole night and one afternoon. So he naturally knows how hard it was to refine these Niuhuang Pills. “I’m sorry Miss Bai, I was too impatient. Then, how about 3 days later? I happen to be on duty after 3 days. Then, I will be waiting for you in the hospital with the imperial doctors, how about it?” Bai Zhi nodded her head: “Okay, it will be 3 days later.” It can be seen that he was a studious person. He reminds her of how she was when she started studying Chinese medicine. She was also crazy. * After listening to the Empress’s explanation, the Empress Dowager also felt in trouble. “So, Miss Pei who is marrying Feng’er is a fake?” Su Chun nodded: “Whether it’s fake or not, at least it’s Dongfang Mu’s granddaughter.” The Empress Dowager’s face slightly sank, as she pursed her lips. Then, she frowned her eyebrows before she said: “Since Dongfang Mu doesn’t recognize it, what’s the use of marrying her?”
