”Miss, do you think that First Madam's temperament is similar to someone?”
Lan Yi watched as First Madam left, a look of worry flashing past his eyes.
Seeing Bai Zhixi nod her head, she must have realized it, so she revealed the information she had.
”Miss, just now this servant gave old general a pulse, and this servant actually discovered the aconitine in his body?”
”What is aconitine?”
Hearing that, Bai Zhixi frowned, he looked at his Grandfather who was about to fall asleep, and felt a burst of pain in his heart.
”Miss, this thing grows in an extremely cold place. Only the Enchantment Mountain, which is wet all year round and has no sunlight, is suitable for its growth. Fortunately, the dosage wasn't too heavy, and this servant could cure it. It's just that, he still has the hibernating Gu in his body. If he was able to get rid of the poison quickly, the hibernating Gu would definitely resist. At that time, this servant doesn't have much confidence in being able to protect old general's life. ”
Lan Yi powerlessly lowered his head, and a lonely look appeared on his face. He hated himself for not being able to help his Young Miss with his profound medical skills.
”Then, is there a way to achieve the best of both worlds?”
Bai Zhixi grabbed Lan Yi's hand tightly and asked anxiously. She hoped that there was still a chance for her to live with the person closest to her in this world.
”Miss, to remove the bell one still has to bind someone's bell. A dormant Gu cannot be removed by ordinary people, only the person who uses it for him can do so.”
After Bai Zhixi heard this, his heart turned cold. He carefully pulled at Old General Bai's hand, and a drop of tears flowed down his smooth, clean lower jaw, as it dripped onto the back of Old General Bai's hand.
It was night, and the cold wind was blowing. It was bone chilling and there was not a single hint of light in the pitch-black sky.
Bai Zhixi sat alone in her run-down yard, drinking on the crumbling roof.
She had recently read about the taste of osmanthus wine, and it seemed that only this alcohol would be able to numb her heart, and allow her to indulge herself, so as to not be overwhelmed by these trivial matters.
Thinking back to what Lan Yi had said, First Madam was actually so daring to poison his grandfather's diet, you really cannot judge a book by its cover. No wonder she dared to blatantly frame Auntie Du, yet no one dared to speak in the Prime Minister's Estate. Prime Minister Bai listened to everything he said, and it was as if she had long ago associated herself with witch church.
Her previous actions in front of outsiders had merely blinded them.
Just that, she was a woman who didn't leave her home, how did she manage to get witch church up? Could it be because of her father?
”The weather is cold, why is there a person sitting here with a cold wind blowing? This is bad for the body!”
A snow-white mink cloak instantly appeared on his body. Bai Zhixi turned around and saw Dongfang Chen sitting beside him, gently tying up her ribbon.
”Why are you here?”
She was too lazy to greet him, her voice was extremely calm, it lacked her usual dainty and frivolous attitude, and after drinking all of the osmanthus wine in her hand, she looked at Dongfang Chen in a daze.
”I just happened to pass by and saw you drinking by yourself here, so I wanted to come and see you.”
Dongfang Chen was still as gentle and considerate as ever, the smile on his face made Bai Zhixi's eyes flicker. She snapped out of her stupor and turned her face to look at the pitch black darkness. The cold wind blew away the heat in her ears.
”Is that so? ”I can see it now, you can go.”
The cold, heartless words came out of her mouth as if they were meant to be. She shook her head, trying to wake herself up, but her head was the same as hers, making her even more dizzy.
”You're drunk, I'll take you down!”
Before she could say anything, she was carried up by a pair of gentle hands. She felt a gust of strong wind blow across her face and then stand firmly in the yard.
”This servant greets Crown Prince!”
Seeing that it was Dongfang Chen, Lan Yi and Zi Li bowed to him. They knew that their young miss was in a bad mood. She was already on the roof drinking without disturbing them, so she didn't want to get drunk like this.
”Let's rise!” ”Your young miss is drunk. Let's help her rest first!”
He indicated for Lan Yi and Zi Li to stand up and give Bai Zhixi to them. Then, he stood in the courtyard and stared at the red plum tree in a daze.
He remembered that there was a red plum blossom in Jun Mohan's courtyard. No wonder she liked living there.
”Crown Prince, the cold wind at night is bone-piercing, blowing painfully. ”If you don't mind, come in here and have a cup of tea to warm your body!”
After Zi Li went to sleep, he walked out to see that Dongfang Chen was still standing in the courtyard. After bowing to him, Zi Li wanted to invite him in for a cup of hot tea.
”Forget it.” It's too late now, so I won't disturb you. ”Oh right, remember to make her some sour plum soup to wake her up. Otherwise, she will have a headache again tomorrow.”
Dongfang Chen, who was walking to the entrance of the courtyard, suddenly stopped and explained again to Zi Li.
The subordinates in the shadows were all dumbstruck. Their Crown Prince, who seemed gentle and considerate enough to make women like him, was actually concerned about a poor girl who had no power or power, and even hugged her. It was truly unacceptable.
