Chapter 756: Qingan Palace (6)
Could it be possible that she could smell it?
After exchanging some gossip that she doesn’t have any impression of, Bai Zhi found it too boring. So she got up and said: “Empress, let this young lady check your pulse!”
Su Chun didn’t refuse anymore and nodded her head: “Alight!”
Bai Zhi stepped forward and put her delicate fingers on Su Chun’s wrist, then listened carefully.After checking, Bai Zhi retracted her hand and asked Su Chun a few more questions. When the empress answered them one by one, she had a general understanding of her physical condition in her heart.
Su Chun asked: “This empress haven’t had a good sleep recently, and always wakes up from a nightmare in the middle of the night. After waking up, I no longer have the intention to sleep. Is there a good way to calm the mind?”
If it’s just for peace of mind, she could pick a random doctor in the Imperial Hospital. They can give her a prescription.
But obviously, her problem was not just as simple as peace of mind.
Her problem was not due to physical illness, but mental illness.
During day time, she was thinking. At night, she was dreaming. God knows how much she was thinking to harm others during day time, and so at night, she was having retribution in her dream, which made her restless.
Of course, she couldn’t say these things, she could only think about it inside her heart.“Empress, this young lady understands. She will prescribe the prescription for the empress.” Bai Zhi smiled while thinking that since the empress didn’t tell her the truth why she couldn’t sleep at night, then she doesn’t know what’s going. She shouldn’t trouble her later.
Also, there were two types of widowhood in women. One was a living widow and the other one was a dead widow.
The empress can be said to be the example of a living widow.
The living widows still have illusions about men, expecting men’s tenderness and love, so this kind of woman was the easiest to go stray.
As for the dead widow, after the death of her man, her heart also died. Naturally, she would not have any illusions about her husband. If she had an illusion and wanted a man, she could remarry without getting stray.
Su Chun has this disease. It’s due to frequent intercourse with men. It was not a serious case, but it can make her feel uncomfortable. But of course, no matter how uncomfortable she was, she won’t say it.
“This empress always felt tired recently, is there something wrong?” She looked at Bai Zhi tentatively.
Bai Zhi shook her head: “The empress is healthy, there is nothing wrong with her body.”
Everyone likes to hear others boast about their physical fitness, and the empress was no exception. Especially the other person has superb medical skills.
The empress then winked at the people around her. The palace made understood her meaning, and pick up the tea that was already cold. When she turned around, she hit Bai Zhi’s body ‘accidentally’. The tea was splashed all over her dress.
“This servant deserves to die, the servant deserves to die!” The palace maid knelt and begged for mercy.
The empress angrily said: “How do you do things? Why can’t you do it well? Take the punishment yourself!” The palace maid immediately retreated.
However, Bai Zhi’s new brocade coat was all wet. The brocade coat was white, the tea has color. The large patch of stain looked extremely ugly.
Su Chun looked ‘guilty’ while saying: “Look at this, it’s a pity that your dress becomes like this.”
Bai Zhi smiled and said, “It’s okay. This young lady only needs to wash it when she goes back.”
Su Chun busily said: “How can you go back like this? Besides, you will have to go to the Empress Dowager to report back to her request. You looking like this is not a good thing. You go to the back hall and change to clean clothes. Your dirty clothes will be washed by the laundry department and send to your house. How about it?”
Bai Zhi suddenly understood why Chu Feng dared to come to propose marriage after meeting Bai Zhenzhu in the palace just once.
