Bai Zhi stepped forward and said to the Empress Dowager: "Niangniang, please allow this young lady to check your pulse!"

The Empress Dowager nodded her head, and let the palace maid beside her helped her to lie down. After Empress Dowager stabilized her breath, Bai Zhi put her fingers on her wrist.

The Empress Dowager stared at her. Her eyes looked at her directly. Bai Zhi couldn't tell if it was out of goodwill or not, but she found it uncomfortable. She thought to herself that the Empress Dowager looked better when she was asleep.

When Bai Zhi withdrew her hand, the Empress Dowager asked: "What is your name?"

Bai Zhi replied respectfully: "This young lady's name is Bai Zhi!"

The Empress Dowager raised an eyebrow: "Your surname is Bai? Looking at you, you look somewhat similar to the daughter from the Dongfang family. I thought you are from the Dongfang family!"

At this time, Bai Zhi naturally didn't dare to pretend to be stupid. If she didn't make it clear now, the Empress Dowager might turn it into a big thing and accuse her of deceiving the imperial family.

Bai Zhi stepped back and bowed her head to the Empress Dowager, the said in a warm tone: "Answering back the Empress Dowager, this young lady's surname is Bai. Because it is the surname of my adoptive father. However, this young lady's biological mother is Dongfang Wan. That's why this young lady looks similar to her."

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she immediately became happy: "No wonder Feng'er's eyes kept staring at you. It turns out that you are the girl who fell in love with Feng'er at first sight!"

Chu Feng suddenly felt embarrassed. He slightly coughed but didn't intend to explain. he simply looked away.

Bai Zhi said with a serious face: "The empress dowager has misunderstood. This young lady is not the one who fell in love with his highness, Prince Xiao. Today is the first time this young lady saw his highness, Prince Xiao."

The Empress Dowager was dumbfounded. What is going on? Not her? Chu Feng went to Changyuan Houfu to propose marriage. Even the Emperor allowed this marriage. People in the entire capital knew that Prince Xiao was going to be engaged to the eldest lady of Changyuan Houfu. But now she was saying it's not her?

The Empress Dowager hurriedly sat up and pointed her finger at Chu Feng with an embarrassed expression: "Feng'er, what's going on? Isn't it Miss Pei who is going to marry you? If it's not her, then who is it?"

Chu Feng was also depressed. He didn't expect that Bai Zhi would say this in front of the Empress Dowager. He glared at Bai Zhi in displeasure and then said with a smile to the Empress Dowager: "Imperial Grandmother, this is a long story, and still not clear for a while. How about this, Imperial mother will come to you in a while, then you can ask her!"

He was so ashamed to say something about this matter, so how could he say it in front of so many people? And because he was afraid that the Empress Dowager would ask this matter again, so he hurriedly got up and bowed to the Empress Dowager and then left in a hurry.

Seeing him like this, the Empress Dowager became more confused, so she stared at Bai Zhi and asked: "What is going on? Is it possible that there are two eldest ladies in your Changyuan Houfu?"

Bai Zhi shook her head: "This young lady doesn't know about the engagement of His Royal Highness, Prince Xiao. I also don't know how many sisters I have in Changyuan Houfu. This young lady has been living in Dongfang Family Mansion since I met my biological mother. I've never been to Changyuan Houfu."

The Empress Dowager became more confused. She has heard a long time ago that the husband and wife, Dongfang Wan and Pei Qinghan became indifferent to each other since the child has died. More than 10 years had passed, but they were still the same. It can be seen that this was not simply thinning of feelings, but completely out of feelings.

How can they make a mistake on such a big occasion like engagement? What on earth Chu Feng and the Empress were doing? Why can't they even handle this matter?

This time, Bai Zhi turned the medicine into a liquid, and then let Qing Lian give it to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager frowned. Since the beginning, she didn't know the age and origin of this little girl. She was simply an ordinary doctor in her eyes, so naturally became suspicious. She stared at the concoction in Qing Lian's hand and asked, "What is this?"
