"Esteemed wangfei, the empress has come to see you."

Bai Zhiling had just woken up when the empress arrived.

"She had to get up and go out to greet him." "Greetings, Imperial Mother."

"…" The empress smiled kindly as she went forward to help her up. "Your body isn't comfortable yet, why do you have to bother with formalities? Why aren't you helping the wangfei rest inside?"

When Bai Zhiling turned around, her lips curled up into a cold smile. She really didn't care about formalities at all! Yet, she still had to wait for her to finish with the formalities before coming over to help her. What was she pretending for?

"Bai Zhiling sat on the bed, leaning against it. The empress moved an embroidered block to sit before her bed and hold her hand." Yesterday, I heard that you went missing in the forest, which scared me. Now that you're back, thank god, Seventh Bro has been looking for you for a whole day and night. "

"It is this son's fault for making the prince and mother worry."

"No one would have thought that the horse would be frightened by the snake. Now that you're fine, I can relax."

"Thank you for your concern, Imperial Mother."

After a burst of false greetings, the empress felt that the fire was almost gone.

"Are you lost in the woods? It's been a long day and a long night, hasn't it? "

Upon hearing that, Bai Zhiling understood the main point.

"Yes, I got lost. It took me a while to find it."

"In the forest, have you ever seen Praetorian Guard who went to find you?"

Bai Zhiling's pupils contracted abruptly as if she was frightened by something when she heard the Empress mention this.

"Praetorian Guard …"

The Queen's eyes turned darker when she saw this.

"That's right, the Emperor has sent quite a few Praetorian Guard to find you …"

"Then, are those people also looking for your son's Praetorian Guard? "And here I thought …"

"Then why?"

Bai Zhiling quickly shook her head and didn't dare to continue as if she was afraid of what she was going to say.

The empress's eyes were cold, but her expression was gentle. Did something happen to you? "Don't be afraid. No matter what it is, the Emperor will make the decision for you."

"Muhou, your son has seen it. Your son has the Praetorian Guard to assassinate Royal Uncle."

The empress's grip on Bai Zhiling tightened.

"Ah!" "Pain!

Bai Zhiling cried out in alarm, and the empress came back to her senses, her expression stiff.

"Are you sure you can see it clearly?"

Bai Zhiling nodded frantically. Take a good look, take a good look, I even went up to help, but then I ran away from Royal Uncle … Queen Mother, do you think Royal Uncle will be alright? "

The empress glanced at Bai Zhiling, trying to decide if she was faking it or not.

But after looking for a while, the doubt and fear in Bai Zhiling's eyes didn't seem to be fake. Only then did she softly console: "You, Royal Uncle, have been staying in the villa well all this time.

"No, nothing …" "Royal Uncle has been at the Manor all this time?"

"That's right, good child, don't think too much. Your body isn't feeling well, so mother will have someone to send you back to the Cloud King's Manor to recuperate first."

The empress didn't even give Bai Zhiling a chance to speak as she ordered someone to come in and clean up her things.

"Muhou, are you sure this son has been befuddled?"

The empress's face softened.

"Of course, why would the Praetorian Guard attack you, Royal Uncle?"

Bai Zhiling nodded dumbly. "Yes."

An hour later, under the gaze of the empress, Bai Zhiling left the villa for the capital.

Seated on the swaying carriage, Bai Zhiling's eyes were filled with a cold intent.

She said that to confuse their judgment. Baili Yao sent the empress to probe her, as he wanted to know if there were any unspeakable secrets between Baili Moxun and her.

How could she let them guess so easily!?

After the Queen saw Bai Zhiling off, she did not immediately go to Baili Yao's study room. Instead, she waited until night before Baili Yao came over to tell him about the situation.

"Did she really say that?"

"Yes, chenqie didn't look like she was faking it. Your Majesty, look …"

Baili Yao frowned and did not say anything.

The empress then continued, "She has been raised by her stepmother's side and has never had anyone to teach her what she should learn. She has also committed many foolish acts in the past few years and chenqie has seen her before.

"What you said makes sense, but you can't let your guard down just because of it."

"The Emperor is right."

"The presence of such a person by Xing'er's side is more or less a scourge …"

"..."

"Esteemed wangfei, why did you return first?"

When Bai Zhiling had returned to the Cloud King's Manor, everyone in the Duke Palaces were shocked. However, the only person who dared to ask such a question was Yue Guang.

"What? You don't want to see me anymore?"

"What are you talking about, wangfei? Although wangfei has only been gone for two days, this servant has been thinking too much about wangfei."

Bai Zhiling felt that maidservant's face was getting thicker and thicker from her scolding.

"But this servant still hopes that wangfei can shine during the Autumn Hunt …" It would already be great if he didn't get laughed at for coming back so early, not to mention showing off his abilities.

"Alright, stop thinking about such useless things. I'm tired. Go and get me some hot water. I want to properly wash up."

"Yes, this servant will go now."

After taking a comfortable bath, Bai Zhiling was no longer sleepy. She took out the medical book from the box and started flipping through it again.

There was a record in this book that Cold Poison was just a general term for it, and there were many different types of this poison.

Some were caused by the poisonous Gu, some were caused by the "Heart Erosion Grass" they had consumed since young, and some were caused by the people who had cultivated the Cold Poison s.

When she had previously suppressed the Cold Poison for Baili Moxun, she did not further analyze the origins of his poison. The method she had used was also suitable for all the Cold Poison, and if she wanted to know how the Cold Poison were treated, the first step was to understand how the poison came about.

Although she did not intend to cure Baili Moxun's poison, it was still a pleasure for her to concoct all kinds of Cold Poison's antidotes based on her love for medicine.

By the time Bai Zhiling was fully focused on her medical skills, Autumn Hunt was over.

Bai Zhiling was not interested in the fact that it was Baili Zhen's team that had won the female group competition. Anyone with a brain wouldn't fight with the empress's eyeballs for victory or defeat.

On the male team, it was Baili Xing who won the championship. He was liked by the emperor, and his mother was also a strong prince. This result was also within his expectations.

"Princess, Lee Qing has sent a message."

Bai Zhiling took the note and looked at it. It was Nanny Hu's son, whose friend had gone to the medicine store.

Bai Zhiling wrote down the medicines that he bought from the medicine store and looked at them.

"Kill them!" "So you want to concoct this medicine …" Since the other party was so impatient, how could she not express anything?
