Dongfang Mu looked at Bai Zhi and felt distressed when he saw her haggard face: “I just didn’t see you in a few days, how did you become so haggard like this?”
Bai Zhi felt warm inside her heart, she grinned and said: “I’m fine, I just lack in sleep. Now that the Empress Dowager’s condition has improved a lot, I have time to rest. I’ll be able to make up for it soon.”
Dongfang Mu shook his head: “No, no, do you think I don’t know the Empress Dowager’s temperament? She is the most troubling person. She always likes to toss people around her and make them work thankless. She has eyes behind her head, she can see everything. That’s why I’m very worried when you live with her. Just wait, I’ll go to the emperor, and then I’ll pick you in a moment. If she’s still not satisfied, she will come right back at you.”
Dongfang Mu talked like he had eaten firecrackers. And regardless of whether Bai Zhi agrees or not, he turned and went to the imperial study room where the emperor was.
Bai Zhi opened her mouth. But before she could speak, Dongfang Mu had disappeared. As if a gush of wind just comes and goes.
Bai Zhi smiled and shook her head, then she turned and went back to find Qing He and the others. She wanted to give them instructions on what to do when she’s not around so that the Empress Dowager will not send someone to call her back again.
After Bai Zhi finished giving instructions, she started bidding farewell to Qing He and the others. However, before she could finish her words, Dongfang Mu came in violently. It was not easy for him to enter the inner all. After all, he was a man, he could only pass a message to the little palace maid.
Seeing Qing He’s eyes reds, Bai Zhi took her hand and said: “Don’t be like this, I will come back, and I will bring you delicious food and fun stuff.”
Qing Lian next to Qing He hurriedly said: “Don’t lie to others, there are not too many delicious foods and fun things!”
Everyone laughed and reluctantly sent her out.
As soon as Bai Zhi and Dongfang Mu left, the Empress Dowager sent someone to call Bai Zhi to sever her.
Qing He hurriedly came over and reported to the Empress Dowager: “Empress Dowager, Miss Bai has just been picked up by Master Dongfang. He said that the emperor allowed him to take Miss Bai back home to rest. If anything happens, she can go directly to the Imperial Hospital.”
What the hell? She was picked up by Dongfang Mu?
The Empress Dowager couldn’t help but sneer in anger. Then, she shook her head and said: “This Dongfang Mu’s courage is getting bigger and bigger. He doesn’t even care about this empress dowager now. Maybe someday, he would even step on the emperor.”
As soon as she finished saying those words, the palace maids and eunuchs, including the Empress knelt on the floor and beg her to calm her anger.
Calm down? How can she not get angry? She was the Empress Dowager, the mother of the world, but she can’t even let a little girl stay? If this matter spread out, where will she put her old face?
The Empress was afraid that she would tear her face with Dongfang Mu in anger. This could be bad for the overall situation. So, she hurriedly persuaded: “Empress Dowager, Dongfang Mu is certainly hateful, but he is just relying on the emperor. You are the Empress Dowager of a country. You are extremely noble. Why do you need to anger yourself for a man like him? Besides, the emperor agreed to his request, but it was for the sake of face. If you want that girl to enter the palace again, you just need to say a word. Can they dare to resist and disobey your order?”
After listening to the Empress’s advice, the Empress Dowager’s anger was finally extinguished a lot. Well, for Chu Feng’s sake, she would take this matter into account for the time being. She will write down these accounts first. Then she would find a chance to settle it.
The Empress secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn’t a day or two that the Empress Dowager found Dongfang Mu not pleasing to the eye. However, they must get upset this time.
