Imperial Doctor Liang’s back was soaked in sweat. The thin silk shirt he was wearing inside was sticking to his back. But when Imperial Concubine Shu’s words fell, he felt a cool breeze coming from the back of his neck, which made him shiver.

Imperial Doctor Liang didn’t dare to refuse. At this time, the more he refused, the more guilty he became.

He hurriedly took a deep breath and pretended to be calm. Then, walked towards Imperial Concubine Shu as if there was nothing wrong.

Meng Xuanling’s gaze fell on Imperial Doctor Liang’s legs. His face looked calm, but his legs betrayed his heart. His legs were shaking, making people want to laugh.

Meng Xuanling slightly curled her lips and said in a low voice: Imperial Doctor Liang, what’s wrong? Are you cold? Should this concubine ask someone to get you cotton-padded pants?”

Imperial Doctor Liang couldn’t wait to chop off his two legs immediately. Because his legs wouldn’t listen to his orders.

He dryly smiled and said, “Thank you, Niangniang. This lowly one is not cold, but practiced horse stance at home yesterday. I practiced for a long time and got tired.”

Meng Xuanling raised an eyebrow and slightly lift her chin: “No wonder.”

As he spoke, Imperial Doctor Liang came closer to Meng Xuanling, sat on the soft stool, took out the silk scarf, and put it on Meng Xuanling’s wrist, then listened carefully.

After checking for a while, Imperial Doctor Liang withdrew her hand, then stepped back a few steps. He bowed and said: “Niangniang, your body is the same as usual. There is no problem.”

Meng Xuanling’s complexion didn’t change. She simply nodded her head: “Thank you!”

Qiu Ying led Imperial Doctor Liang to the side to look at the prescriptions he gave before. In the past, it was Dong Ye, who always lead Imperial Doctor Liang to check the prescriptions. But today, it became Qiu Ying, which made Imperial Doctor Liang felt very uneasy.

While taking advantage of the time Imperial Concubine Shu changing clothes, Imperial Doctor Liang busily asked Qiu Ying: “Why is the palace maid who always ask the prescriptions in the past not here today?”

Qiu Ying smiled and said: “She is not on duty today, you will be able to see her next time.” Qiu Ying said to her heart: Rest assured, Dong Ye, that bitch, is already waiting for you in the underworld. You will see her soon.

Imperial Doctor Liang felt relieved after hearing those words. People were still alive, which proves that things were not as bad as he imagined. If Imperial Concubine Shu knows that someone has poisoned her for a long time. How can that person still stay alive?

Meng Xuanling didn’t come out of the backroom until Imperial Doctor Liang left. As soon as she sat down, Qiu Ying busily said: “Niangniang, as you expect, he asks this slave about Dong Ye as soon as you leave.”

Meng Xuanling snorted: “Don’t worry, sooner or later they will see each other.” A sharp light flashed past her beautiful eyes.

When Bai Zhi returned from the palace, Dongfang Wan and Zhao Lan were frightened when they saw her coming home wearing the palace maid’s clothes.

A girl like her shouldn’t easily show up and walk around. Even if she goes out, she should come back with the same appearance.

She shouldn’t change clothes outside. Otherwise, people will slander her reputation and integrity.

Fortunately, she went back home directly riding the carriage from the palace, and this Dongfang Family Mansion was located in a secluded place. It was not a place where the long-tongued women in the capital would come around. Only a few people must have seen her.

Dongfang Wan and Zhao Lan dragged her into the room for interrogation.

“What happened? Why did you change your clothes before you come back? Did someone bullied you?” Dongfang Wan asked anxiously.

Bai Zhi didn’t answer. She first drunk the herbal tea on the table.

Zhao Lan said anxiously: “This child, why don’t you learn to be good? Speak up!”
