Chapter 752: Qingan Palace (2)

How many days passed since Hu Feng left? She counted with her fingers. Didn’t he say that she will be back on the 8th day? Today was the 9th day of the lunar month, so why there was still no sign of him?

Before she could figure it out, a decree from the palace was sent to Dongfang Family Mansion.

Dongfang Mu was not in the house. He entered the palace early in the morning. When the decree arrived, they naturally came out to accept the decree.

In this bitterly cold weather, a group of people knelt on the thin snow that hadn’t been shoveled in the yard.

What kind of rules was this? No wonder the feudal dynasty will be overthrown one day.

She was here at this time, so naturally, she can’t avoid it. She knelt on her knees, after all, it wouldn’t kneel for too long.

But who knows if it was intentional or not, the eunuch delayed announcing the decree. He watched the group of people kneeling on the cold snow and shivering.

After a long while, that dead eunuch cleared his throat and said, “Bai Zhi listen to the order.”

Bai Zhi was pushed by Dongfang Wan in the shoulder. Bai Zhi stepped forward kneeling by one step and said: “Bai Zhi listens to the decree.”

“According to the Empress Dowager’s decree, Bai Zhi, you have to enter the palace immediately.”

“I will comply with the order.” Bai Zhi kowtowed and knocked her head on the cold ground.

She sighed silently and scolded herself why did she come in here? Wasn’t her life in Huangtou Village much better? She doesn’t need to kneel to anyone. She could make money so she lived a beautiful and comfortable life.

But when she got here, *sigh*… … she wanted to cry. But now, she could only swallow her regret in the stomach. She doesn’t want to make Dongfang Wan and Dongfang Mu sad.

It would be great if they could return to Qiyun Mountain!

When Bai Zhi returned to her room to change clothes, Dongfang Wan said to Bai Zhi: “The Empress Dowager suddenly announced that you enter the palace, but she didn’t say what you should do. Your grandfather is not free all day, and there is no way to take care of you. I’m really worried, after all, Prince Jin also hasn’t returned.”

Bai Zhi smiled: “I have no grudges or hatred with the Empress Dowager. So what is there to worry about? She is asking me to enter the palace. It’s nothing more than asking me to check her pulse and see if I can help.”

Dongfang Wan shook her head: “Zhi’er, things in the palace are not as simple as you think. The women who live in the harem are not the same as the women outside. To achieve what they want, they can be unscrupulous. They can even use their loved ones without hesitation.”

“What’s more, compared to Prince Jin, the Empress Dowager like Prince Xiao more. And she has always been dissatisfied with your grandfather. The more I think about it, the more I feel something is going to happen.”

Bai Zhi quickly tied her belt and then stretched out her hand to hold Dongfang Wan’s hand, and said with a smile: “My dear mother, don’t think too much about it. I will do well. If I don’t offend anyone, nothing will happen.”

At this time, a maidservant’s voice sounded from outside: “Miss, Xu Gonggong is urging, saying that you shouldn’t let the Empress Dowager wait for too long.”

Dongfang Wan answered: “Alright, I understand!”

She held Bai Zhi’s hand and said in a low voice: “Remember, if you encounter any difficult things in the palace today, you should go to Concubine Shu. She and I have some kind of friendship. If you mention my name, if she can help, she will help you.”

Speaking of Concubine Shu, Bai Zhi immediately thought of one person, and asked with a smile: “Could it be Meng Nan’s aunt?”

Dongfang Wan also thought of the relationship between Bai Zhi and Meng Nan, and hurriedly said: “Yes, it is her. She loves Meng Nan the most. You can also mention Meng Nan’s name, and she will definitely help.”

Bai Zhi nodded: “Okay, I remember.”
