The guard was scared. He looked at Bai Zhi, and then at Dongfang Mu.

Dongfang Mu said: “Remember what the young lady said. If I lose my mind, you will listen to the orders of the young lady, do you understand?”

The guard immediately took his order: “This subordinate understand.”

Bai Zhi turned her head and said with red eyes: “Grandpa, wait for granddaughter. This granddaughter will definitely find a way to solve this Gu.”

The eunuch who came to deliver the decree was too anxious. Seeing Bai Zhi came out slowly, he rushed forward, dragged her, and left.

Bai Zhi asked: “Gonggong is so anxious, but what’s the hurry?”

The eunuch said: “You’ll know when you get there.” He was the eunuch of the imperial family. He shouldn’t talk too much.

Bai Zhi didn’t ask anymore, took the medicine box handed by the maidservant, and simply followed the eunuch to the carriage sent by the palace.

The carriage hurried all the way to the palace.

In front of the emperor’s couch, there were several concubines dressed up. Bai Zhi glanced over but didn’t find Imperial Concubine Shu. She found it strange. The emperor was sick but Imperial Concubine Shu didn’t come?

Behind the concubines, several imperial doctors were kneeling on the ground, among them was Imperial Doctor Xu.

“Hurry up, Miss Bai, look at the emperor quickly.” The eunuch said to Bai Zhi. The imperial doctors and imperial concubine immediately moved away, giving way to Bai Zhi.

Imperial Doctor Xu looked up and saw the haggard appearance of Bai Zhi. He was worried, but the emperor’s illness came all of a sudden and it was very strange.

It’s not like an ordinary illness.

Bai Zhi stepped forward and looked at the emperor’s face, which was similar to grandfather, but looked worse than her grandfather’s.

“The emperor, do you still recognize this young lady?” She asked.

The emperor opened his eyes and looked at Bai Zhi who was standing in front of the bed: “Bai Zhi, I am sick and not crazy, how can I not recognize you?”

Bai Zhi said: “The emperor, you still recognize this young lady, but soon, you may not.” She decided to speak out the truth. After all, the country might fall into chaos soon, so what else was there to hide?

The emperor frowned and sat up with the help of the eunuch, then leaned on the soft pillow while starring at Bai Zhi with his sunken eyes.

“What did you say? What do you mean by that?” The emperor asked urgently.

Bai Zhi’s facial expression didn’t change, but her cold eyes were fixed on the emperor as she said word by word: “The emperor, it’s not just you. My grandfather, your most trusted courtier, Dongfang Mu, is now in the same situation as you.”

The emperor was shocked: “What do you mean by this? Dongfang Mu got the same disease as me?”

Bai Zhi continued to say: “Not only you, but also the people in the capital. I don’t know how many civil and military officials might be sick like you!”

“What do you mean by this? Speak clearly!” The emperor said anxiously as he panted.

Bai Zhi was going to make things clear. Even if the emperor didn’t ask, she would say it.

“Did you recently had a good appetite? Wanting to eat greasy food all day long, but the more you eat, the more get thinner, right?”

The old eunuch next to the emperor hurriedly nodded: “Yes, yes, yes, it seems that Miss Bai knows what the emperor’s disease is.”

Bai Zhi nodded: “Yes, I know. I also know that the emperor became like this after drinking the medicinal tea sent by Prince Xiao.”

As soon as Bai Zhi said this, the old eunuch’s complexion immediately changed and quickly turned his head to look at the emperor.

The emperor was also shocked, so he was stunned for a while before returning to his senses. But then he shook his head: “No, it’s not like that.”

Bai Zhi snorted coldly: “No? You know in your heart. At this time, you still refuse to see the facts in front of you.”
