Bai Xihe came from Su Cheng’s side. Xiao Shunyang was an entire carriage away. When he jumped over, Su Cheng had already picked Bai Xihe up.

It was like he was carrying a pitiful child.

Su Cheng leaned over and sized her up. “Why do I feel that… you look a little familiar? Have we met before?”

“How dare you! This is the Grand Empress Dowager!” Xiao Shunyang shouted.

“Ah.” Su Cheng let go in a second.

Bai Xihe fell to the ground.

Xiao Shunyang was speechless.

“Grand Empress Dowager!”

It was Little Yunzi’s voice.

Little Yunzi and the palace servants surrounded him. Su Cheng was pushed out of the crowd. He scratched his head and turned to look at Bai Xihe.

Unfortunately, Bai Xihe had already turned around. He only saw the back of her head.

Emperor Jing Xuan and the others were preparing to go up the mountain.

The temple was at the top of the mountain. Although there were stone steps, it was still rugged and difficult to walk.

It was fine with Emperor Jing Xuan and the others. The Empress Dowager was already old and her phoenix body was inconsistent. As usual, Emperor Jing Xuan got someone to move a sedan chair over. Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager rejected him.

“I can walk!”

The guards carrying the palanquin looked at each other.

Emperor Jing Xuan advised, “Mother, you’ve just recovered from a serious illness. It’s better to be careful.”

In the end, the Empress Dowager did not sit in the sedan chair. With Eunuch Cheng’s help, she walked up the stairs step by step piously.

In the past, she had nothing to ask for. She did not care if Bodhisattva blamed her for neglecting him.

Now that she was sincerely praying to Bodhisattva to protect her three great-grandsons, she would not hesitate to break these old legs!

When they reached the top of the mountain, the Empress Dowager was about to collapse. She drank two glasses of water and ate a few honey black sesame pills steamed by Su Xiaoxiao. Only then did she recover a trace of strength.

Guo Lingxi followed Bai Xihe up the mountain, while “Guo Huan” stayed at the foot of the mountain.

The abbot of the temple went out to welcome Emperor Jing Xuan and the others and arranged a residence for them.

The Empress Dowager, the Grand Empress Dowager, and Guo Lingxi, the

Second Prince, his wife, and the two princesses were in the same courtyard. The Eldest Princess Consort did not come, and the Eldest Prince and the other princes lived in the same courtyard.

Su Xiaoxiao lived in the meditation room next to the Empress Dowager.

She had just opened the door when she bumped into Guo Lingxi, who was passing by.

Guo Lingxi gave Su Xiaoxiao a disdainful look and left without looking back!

Su Xiaoxiao went to the ancient well in the courtyard to get a bucket of water. Just as she was about to take a bath, there was a knock on the door.

“Physician Su, it’s me, Little Yunzi.”

Su Xiaoxiao put down the towel and tied the ribbon. She walked forward and opened the door for him. “What’s the matter, Eunuch Yun?”

Little Yunzi was a young eunuch. He smiled and said, “Physician Su, just call me Little Yunzi. It’s like this. The Grand Empress Dowager was bored out of her mind in the carriage and is a little uncomfortable. She wants to invite Physician Su to take a look.” Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “Alright, go first. I’ll come later.”

“Hey, thank you, Doctor Su!”

When Su Xiaoxiao appeared in Bai Xihe’s room with the first aid kit, Guo Lingxi’s face darkened.

‘What are you doing here? This is the Grand Empress Dowager’s meditation room. Who allowed you to come in?”

Su Xiaoxiao ignored her and went to the bed.

Little Yunzi immediately brought over a small stool. “Physcian Su, please sit.”

Guo Lingxi was stunned for a moment before realizing that Su Xiaoxiao had been invited over.

She said unhappily, “I asked you to invite an imperial physician. Why did you invite a… medical woman?!”

She emphasized the word “medical woman” because the status of the medical woman in the Great Zhou was very low. “Lingxi,” Bai Xihe said calmly. “Go out first.”

Guo Lingxi was stunned again. “Auntie!”

Bai Xihe closed her eyes and stopped talking.

Guo Lingxi bit her lip and left unwillingly.

Su Xiaoxiao took Bai Xihe’s pulse. “The Grand Empress Dowager has suffered from heatstroke. Open the window in time to ventilate and let her drink more water. She’ll be fine after resting for a night.”

“I have a terrible headache,” Bai Xihe said weakly.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the pale Bai Xihe and took out a box of Huoxiang Morality Water and a painkiller from the medicine box.

“If you’re still not feeling well at night, call me over.”

With that, she carried the small first aid kit out.

A maidservant carried a basket of fresh melons and fruits over. “Grand Empress Dowager, His Second Highness personally went to the back mountain to pick fruits and asked me to send some over to you.”

Bai Xihe asked calmly, “Do the Empress Dowager and the Emperor have them?”

The little maidservant smiled and said, “Yes! The two princesses have them too!”

Bai Xihe let Little Yunzi accept it. She paused for a moment and said, “Send them to Physician Su.”

“All of them?” Little Yunzi asked.

Bai Xihe asked him to bring the basket over and picked a few. “Take these to

Lingxi’s Room and send the basket to Doctor Su.”

Xiao Yunzi looked at the small fruits on the table and then at the big fruits in the basket. He wondered if there was a mistake. Shouldn’t the big fruits for Princess Lingxi?

“What are you waiting for?” Bai Xihe asked.

“Ah, yes, I’ll send it over.”

Little Yunzi silently took a piece of cloth and covered the basket. Otherwise, what would happen if Princess Lingxi saw it?

When Little Yunzi arrived at the door of Su Xiaoxiao’s meditation room, he bumped into Eunuch Cheng, Taozhi, and Little Shunzi.

The three of them were the trusted aides of the Empress Dowager, Princess Jingning, and Princess Hui An.

The four of them looked at the fruit basket in each other’s hands in tacit understanding; their minds were in a mess…

At the foot of the mountain, in a quiet house, Qin Canglan was playing chess with Sikong Yun of the Imperial Astronomers.

Sikong Yun was about the same age as the Empress. He was a man who looked

a little rigid, but there was no lack of sage-like people.

Sikong Yun placed a white piece down. “Aren’t you going to accompany your son?”

Qin Canglan threw down a black piece. “Cheng’er is going up the mountain to guard the night tonight.”

Sikong Yun said calmly, “I knew it. Why else would the old Duke Protector be so free to accompany me?”

Qin Canglan was a rough man. He had learned chess from Su Huayin. As for who Su Huayin had learned it from, he did not know.

However, Sikong Yun was cunning. Qin Canglan had been playing for so many years, but he had never won against him.

Qin Canglan said, “The White Lotus Society has been a little rampant recently.

Have you divined it? When can the Imperial Court destroy the White Lotus Society?”

Sikong Yun said, “The heavenly secrets can’t be revealed.”

Qin Canglan glanced at him from the corner of his eye and said mockingly, “You just can’t predict it! In that case, what do you mean by your prediction that a general will definitely die when his star dims? Aren’t I living well? Look! My hand is fine!”

As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand, rolled up his sleeve, and moved his wrist.

“My granddaughter treated me! I’m no longer suffering from gout! My strength has also recovered! I can still go to the battlefield to kill for eight to ten years!”

“You lost.” Sikong Yun looked at the chessboard and was about to place the last piece.

Qin Canglan stopped him. “Hey! Wait, wait, wait! That doesn’t count!”

Sikong Yun said, “No regrets.” Qin Canglan said, “But you haven’t placed yours?”

Sikong Yun was dumbfounded.

Qin Canglan picked up his last piece. “I understand. Let’s play here!”

He raised his chess piece and placed it.

The chess piece fell onto the chessboard.

He couldn’t move.

Sikong Yun frowned at him.. “Old Protector Duke? General Qin?”
