”As long as you understand some things in your heart, it might not be beneficial for you to say them. ”Do you know that disaster comes from the mouth?”
Jun Mohan shook her hand off, and said to her in a low voice. But there was no intimacy in his eyes, only estrangement and indifference.
When Bai Zhixi heard this, his heart felt empty, as if there was a rock pressing on his chest, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
”Jun Mohan, I can't explain clearly about the Love Sea right now, but I didn't lie to you on purpose. I'll explain it to you after we return to the estate. ”
Seeing that Jun Mohan had walked far away, she ran to catch up with him while holding his hand. Her eyes looked as if she was begging for his help.
She knew that by using Jun Mohan's name, she could use herself to change her appearance and escape from Situ Wenbo's pursuit. Currently, she was in a passive situation because she was the boss behind the Love Sea, so no one would be happy. They had only known each other for a little more than a month, and hadn't reached the point where their bodies would be smashed into smithereens.
Seeing that Jun Mohan did not answer her, but did not shake off her hand, she could only silently allow him to hold her hand.
He shouldn't be angry with him anymore, right?
”Prince Mo, Miss Bai, the empress dowager has invited …”
Listening to Eunuch Lin's words, Bai Zhixi looked up and glanced at the words ”Ci Ning Palace”, and his heart was filled with emotions.
The people who were able to live here were definitely meticulous people who could climb their way up through blood. However, she was able to see the loneliness and desolation here, and didn't know why the people in the world loved this place.
”Don't be nervous, just stand by my side and don't speak carelessly. It's best if you can regain your silly look from before.”
Upon entering, Jun Mohan released her small hand that was covered in cold sweat. Looking at her still frightened appearance, he put down his hand that was about to reach out. His eyes were distant and lost, like a fog. He couldn't see the destination.
”What is it? Prince Mo is afraid that This Dowager will bully Miss Bai? ”
An aged voice that did not lose its majesty came from the front. Bai Zhixi knelt on the ground all of a sudden, and even prostrated on the ground, not daring to take a deep breath.
”This humble daughter Bai Zhixi greets the empress dowager and the empress dowager is extremely fortunate.”
That pair of phoenix shoes with a golden throne on it stopped right in front of her. Her lower jaw was suddenly lifted up by someone, and in her eyes, she was the most respected woman in the entire Ci Ning Palace.
The old man's hair was white on his temples, and his eyes were bright and full of spirit. He gave off an irresistible aura, and some of the hair beside his ears looked as if he had just gotten up from his bed.
Although she was in her sixties, time had not left any scars on her face. Even she felt ashamed of herself for being unable to touch her flaky skin and face.
”She's quite a nice girl, quite similar to your mother from back then. ”Let's rise!”
The empress dowager lifted her face. A flash of amazement could be seen in her deep eyes before she gently let go of her face. With a hint of anger, her face disappeared in a flash.
Bai Zhixi who had stood up saw everything, and thought about how he had offended the great Buddha.
”Royal Grandma, you are wrong about that. She is just a silly little girl, how can she compare to the appearance Aunt Xue had back then? Right now, any girl with any profound strength is stronger than her. ”
Just as the empress dowager sat down, Jun Mohan's voice sounded. Hearing this, the smile on his face was as gentle as the wind, and his eyes were downcast, revealing his deep meaning.
”Mo'er's words are too much, Miss Bai might not be able to compare to the others. However, no one in this world can match his looks! ”
After Bai Zhixi heard this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart.
Was the current situation to announce that they were coming to the palace to chat with her?
”Cough! Cough! Cough!”
”Granny, you …”
Before Jun Mohan could finish his words, he was interrupted by the empress dowager's fierce cough. She leaned weakly against the soft ground and panted, it was difficult to breathe, it was as if her chest was blocked.
Bai Zhixi immediately looked, as though he was suffering from asthma, and quickly opened the closed doors. A burst of cold Qi rushed in, scraping at his face, causing pain.
”What are you doing?” If Esteemed Empress Dowager were to catch a cold, could you afford it? ”
When the old mama by the side of the empress dowager saw her movements, she quickly shut the window she had just opened and pointed at her while cursing.
”The reason why Esteemed Empress Dowager coughed was because the air in the room was too stuffy, so it didn't circulate, causing her to breathe heavily. That's why she kept coughing.” ”Esteemed empress dowager, how do you feel now?”
Bai Zhixi pressed on the window facing the empress dowager, sending in a gust of fresh cold air. The empress dowager took a few deep breaths, and it actually wasn't difficult for her to cough. Her chest also no longer felt uncomfortable just now as she sent an appreciative look towards Bai Zhixi.
”Miss Bai, thank you for saving This Dowager's life. This one had been suffering from an old illness for decades, and had always repeated it, never being able to completely cure it. I wonder if you have any ideas? ”
After a long while, the Empress Dowager stopped coughing. Her face was slightly pale, and she weakly leaned against the soft couch as she stared at Bai Zhixi, not letting go of even the slightest of her uneasiness.
This time, Bai Zhixi was troubled. She was not an imperial physician, nor was she a doctor.
If she didn't tell him the prescription now, the empress dowager wouldn't let her off so easily. If the empress dowager submitted to him without any effect, it would be a crime to bully the sovereign. Her little life could be considered finished.
He was like an ant on a hot pan as he paced around the room, anxious to get out of the way.
Looking in the direction of Jun Mohan, he tried to find a glimmer of hope that he could help him out of this difficult situation. She knew that he also had one …
It all depended on whether he wanted to help or not with this ability.
But the other party was looking at her with a smile that was not a smile, as if he was just watching a joke. He turned a deaf ear to her pleas, and his heart turned cold when he saw that Jun Mohan was unwilling to help her.
