Chapter 760: Ruyi Palace
Su Chun nodded her head and suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, then said in a low voice: “It’s good that you understand the importance of the matter. This empress will leave today’s affairs on you, and won’t care about them.”
Chu Feng opened his mouth again: “Imperial Mother, this Bai Zhi is not an ordinary girl. You can’t deal with her with these methods. It’s to do it like this, from today onwards, this son will send people to stare at Dongfang Family Mansion. As long as she comes out, this son will find a chance to approach her. This son will definitely succeed.”
Su Chun replied: “Alright, you have to be careful. Don’t annoy Dongfang Mu. That guy is crazy. He doesn’t put anyone in his eyes. Whether you are a prince or not, he will show no mercy.”
“This son understand!”*
In the Ruyi Palace
Bai Zhi changed clothes and returned to the side hall. Meng Xuanling was very tall. At least, she was a head taller than Bai Zhi. Looking at her, she looked like 1.7 meters. While Bai Zhi was probably 1.6 meters at most. But it doesn’t matter, she was still developing and can still grow taller.
In short, she couldn’t wear Meng Xuanling’s clothes. The color of her clothes was also not suitable at her current age, so the palace maid found her a set of clothes that the maid usually wear, which also fitted her body.
“Sit down!” Meng Xuanling took a glance at her and said in a low voice.
Bai Zhi sat down obediently, then asked Meng Xuanling, “Concubine Shu, why you don’t ask me, pretending to come under the name of Meng Gongzi?”
Meng Xuanling’s gaze returned to her book, but she still has this straight posture. As if she didn’t move from the beginning until now. Who knows if she was tired or not, but Bai Zhi felt tired just by looking at her.“Since you pretend under his name, you naturally have your reason. Why ask more.”
Bai Zhi suddenly understood why the emperor likes to stay with her.
The emperor was annoyed by the ministers all day long. At night, he naturally wanted to find a quiet place, or occasionally exchange a few funny and interesting words. With such an elegant and understanding woman like Meng Xuanling, which man won’t like her?
“Do you know Meng Nan?” Seeing her silence, Meng Xuanling finally put down the book in her hand and asked Bai Zhi.
Bai Zhi nodded her head: “Yes. Last year, I met Meng Nan when he was still an official in Qingyuan Town. He and I became friends in need. So now that I was in danger, I came to disturb you.”
Meng Xuanling sighed. Her tone seemed to come from the secluded and lonely valley.
“This concubine hasn’t seen Nan’er for many years. I don’t know if he is okay now.”
Bai Zhi looked at her and wondered if she still didn’t know Madam Meng’s condition?
Seeing Bai Zhi hesitating to speak, Meng Xuanling slightly frowned: “Just say anything you want.”
“Concubine Shu, I actually went to Meng Family Mansion a few days ago. Meng Nan has lost a lot of weight. And because of Madam Meng’s illness, he and Meng Daren looked very haggard.”
Meng Xuanling’s heart jumped and she hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong with Madam Meng? Didn’t Meng Daren ask the emperor to send an imperial doctor?”
“Imperial Doctor Zhang has already been there. Madam Meng had a diabetic syndrome. Madam Meng’s mother also had this disease before. No one expects that Madam will also have this disease.”
Meng Xuanling asked urgently: “Then how is she now?”
Bai Zhi said, “She is much better now, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
Meng Xuanling breathed a sigh of relief. It was not because she has a deep relationship with the Meng Family, but because the Meng family was at a critical moment. If Meng Nan can’t stand firm in the court, it will be bad for the future of the Meng Family.
If something happened to her sister-in-law, Meng Nan would have to leave his job and do filial pity for a year. After 1 year of filial piety, his position has long been taken. It won’t be easy to climb up a higher position.
