Baili Chengyou moved out of the palace after getting engaged to Meng Guxue, and now lives in the prince's mansion.
Meng Guxue searched around the house but couldn't find anyone, so she guessed that Baili Chengyou had entered the palace again.
She thought for a while, changed her clothes and hair bun, and led Xiao Tao into the palace.
During this time, she often went to the palace to look after the king's wife. The palace people had already recognized her, so she came to Qiushi Palace unimpeded.
"See the Third Princess."
The palace attendants of Qiushi Palace saluted Meng Guxue, with a vague look of sadness on their faces.
Meng Guxue sighed secretly when she saw this. She went directly into the main hall and saw Baili Chengyou beside the bed of the queen of the country.
Baili Chengyou has really become a lot more haggard these days, and he has taken off all the bells that he usually wears so beautifully, and often stays in front of his bed for the entire night.
He always did what he said, so Dong Lu, the old eunuch beside him, did not dare to dissuade him and only stayed with him.
Seeing Meng Guxue coming in, Dong Lu's eyes lit up and he quickly bowed in a low voice, "See the Third Imperial Concubine."
Now that the king's wife is in a coma, looking at the whole palace, only the words of the third emperor's concubine still have some weight in front of His Highness.
Meng Guxue waved to Dong Lu, walked quietly behind Baili Chengyou, and patted him on the shoulder.
"Baili?"
When Baili Chengyou heard Meng Guxue calling him, he moved slightly, but did not turn his head.
Seeing him like this, Meng Guxue couldn't say anything for a while as she wanted to meet Qiao Zhongguo.
"Would you like to rest for a while? I'll stay with Madam."
"Don't worry too much. Didn't the palace doctors tell you that? Madam is out of danger. Maybe she hasn't recovered her strength yet. Just give her some more time."
Meng Guxue said in a warm voice, but in fact, there were only a few words that he repeated over and over again.
She guessed in her mind that the wife of the king might have become a vegetative state, but she did not dare to tell Baili Chengyou this.
She didn't know before that Baili Chengyou was so filial and had a deep mother-son relationship with the king's wife.
"Why do you think the queen mother refuses to wake up?"
Baili Chengyou finally spoke, his voice hoarse and full of tiredness.
"I must be a son who is not sincere enough, so the ancient god did not hear my prayer."
The ancient god is the god most believed in by the people of Nanli country, and is the patron saint who ward off disasters.
When Meng Guxue saw Baili Chengyou being so fragile, her heart felt as if she had been pricked by a needle. She was sore and swollen beyond words.
A few months ago, Baili Chengyou blocked an arrow for her, and she was extremely grateful.
At that time, he was so seriously injured, but he was still smiling and joking with her all day long. At that time, she felt very disgusted, but now she actually misses the "annoying" Baili Chengyou.
It's a pity that now the palace doctors and private doctors from Nanli Kingdom have been invited to see Madam, and everyone is helpless.
Alas, I don’t know if Mr. Qiao has an accompanying imperial doctor...
Thinking of this, Meng Guxue suddenly felt a glimmer of hope in her heart. She leaned over slightly and said to Baili Chengyou in a warm voice:
"Baili, I received a reply from Mr. Qiao. This time he came here on behalf of the Yong Dynasty to congratulate the king on his birthday. I thought maybe he had an imperial doctor from the Yong Dynasty with him?"
Baili Chengyou finally raised his head after hearing this.
Meng Guxue continued: "I know that you have good medicine in Nanli, but since there is no countermeasure in the country, why don't we go to Yong Dynasty to take a look?"
"Even if Mr. Qiao doesn't bring the imperial doctor, we can still ask him to write a letter to Emperor Yong Chao and send the best imperial doctor to see Madam."
Baili Chengyou doesn't want to miss out on any hope now.
He nodded, "Okay, you write and ask Qiao Zhongguo. No matter whether the imperial doctor of the Yong Dynasty can save his mother or not, I, Baili Chengyou, owe him a favor."
Meng Guxue hesitated after hearing this, and then said: "Baili, I want to go and meet Mr. Qiao personally."
Baili Chengyou frowned when he heard this, and suddenly looked deeply at Meng Guxue.
"Is this the real purpose of your visit to the palace today?"
Meng Guxue choked slightly and immediately explained: "Even if this matter hadn't happened, I would have gone to the palace to see Madam today."
She didn't know how to explain anything to Baili Chengyou before, but now she just thinks that he is too pitiful and wants to take care of him a little bit.
Meng Guxue thought so.
Baili Chengyou lowered his eyes and was silent for a while.
Seeing this, Meng Guxue pushed his shoulder lightly, "Why are you like this? Haven't I been with you these past few days?"
Baili Chengyou grabbed Meng Guxue's hand, and Meng Guxue pulled it back without pulling.
"What's wrong with you?" Meng Guxue asked uneasily.
Baili Chengyou raised his head and said calmly: "You go ahead, I'll ask A'le to accompany you and stay with you every step of the way."
"Remember to come back, otherwise -"
Meng Guxue: "..."
Is Baili Chengyou threatening her?
"Okay, let go, I'll be back."
Shen Yuanbai has not been eliminated yet, and leaving Baili Chengyou now is tantamount to seeking death, and she is not so stupid.
Baili Chengyou let go of his hand and never raised his head to look at Meng Guxue.
Meng Guxue looked at the king's wife on the couch, and secretly made up her mind to find a way to save people, and then she quietly left the palace.
On the way out of the palace, a palace maid stopped in front of Meng Guxue, seemingly waiting here on purpose.
"See the Third Imperial Concubine. Your servant is Caiyun beside the Fourth Princess. Your Highness the Princess would like to invite you, the Third Imperial Concubine, to visit the Pavilion in the Heart of the Lake."
"Fourth Princess?"
Meng Guxue frowned.
Now there is a princess waiting to be married in the palace, named Baili Miaoxue.
Yes, the fourth princess also has the word "snow" in her name.
Just because of the typo, when she first came here, the fourth princess gave her a shameless meal because of the king's favor.
Thinking of this, Meng Guxue's face darkened, "Go and tell the princess that I have something important to do. Let's talk about it next time."
"Third sister-in-law is so majestic. Can't I even invite you?"
A girl dressed luxuriously walked out from the side.
Meng Guxue: "..."
Isn't this person right next to you? She also deliberately asked the palace maid to stop her...
"Fourth sister, third sister-in-law is really in trouble."
Meng Guxue stepped up and left, but Baili Miaoxue stood in front of her very forcefully.
"Hey, what can't be delayed for a quarter of an hour? Third sister-in-law, fourth sister is here to apologize to you sincerely. If you don't give me face, you are causing trouble for third brother."
The fourth princess said with a smile on her face, but she had already taken Meng Guxue by the hand and took her to the pavilion aside without any refusal.
When walking through the water corridor, Caiyun deliberately blocked Xiao Tao from outside.
"The princess and the third princess have private matters to discuss, so we can just stay here."
Seeing this, Xiao Tao frowned and glanced at Meng Guxue with some concern. After hesitating for a moment, she found an excuse and turned around to find Baili Chengyou.
In this room, the fourth princess took Meng Guxue and sat down in the pavilion in the middle of the lake. She raised her hand and diligently handed Meng Guxue a piece of cake.
"Fourth sister-in-law, this is made after your Yong Dynasty pastry. Xueer put a lot of thought into it. Try it and see."
Bells and sachets are tied around the pavilion in the center of the lake. When the wind blows, the bells ring and the sachets also emit bursts of fragrance.
Meng Guxue felt her nose itchy and couldn't help sneezing.
Baili Miaoxue looked ashamed and continued to say sincerely:
"Actually, after feeling sorry for Third Sister-in-law last time, Xue'er felt very regretful. Third Brother also taught Xue'er a lesson for this, so Xue'er came here specifically to apologize to Third Sister-in-law today."
Meng Guxue looked at the cakes handed to her, feeling secretly wary.
