Chapter 147 No regrets

"Who are you doing this simple ceremony for? Don't you know that when you meet this princess in the palace, the lower class without status rating can only kneel and bow?"

"Although this is at the palace gate, the same rules still apply. Or do you want to disobey the imperial rules?" There was a hint of threat in Chu Yingruo's words.

It seemed that if Bai Qianxi didn't do what she said, she would find a reason to punish her.

"Princess, you also said that it was in the imperial palace. Besides, I am a subject, not a slave. Not to mention outside the palace, even if I were in the imperial palace, I wouldn't have to kneel and kowtow when I saw you, princess." Bai Qianxi said firmly.

There are many people who can make her kneel down and kowtow to them now, but Chu Yingruo is definitely not one of them!

"You are quite sharp-tongued, but you are just a concubine's daughter. I'm afraid your name is not even in the ancestral temple. What status do you deserve?" Chu Yingruo raised her neck and looked at the person in front of her with disdain.

"Don't think that you can fool everyone with your little tricks. Even if Third Cousin is only deceived by you for a while, one day, he will definitely see your true colors!"

After all, she was still a little jealous.

But during this time she has figured it out that even if Bai Qianxi is loved by her third cousin, it will only be temporary.

One day, the third cousin will realize who is the one who can stay with him until the end!

"So, why don't you kneel down and greet me obediently? Do you still want me to ask them to help you?" Chu Yingruo glanced at the guards standing in front of the palace gate.

Seeing her threat, Bai Qianxi's face suddenly turned dark. If the other party really wanted to let these guards take action, she really didn't know how to deal with it.

Even if you gain the upper hand temporarily, you will not gain any benefit.

"Cousin, what's wrong with you? Who offended you?" Just as Chu Yingruo was about to force Bai Qianxi to kneel down, a gentle voice sounded.

Ye Beihao came slowly from the front.

When Chu Yingruo saw that it was him, she immediately had to give up targeting Bai Qianxi and greeted him.

"So Miss Bai is here too. Miss Bai, what are you planning to do here? Are you planning to go to the palace? Do you want me to take you around?"

After nodding in response to Chu Yingruo, Ye Beihao turned to look at Bai Qianxi with a gentle attitude.

Bai Qianxi was a little hesitant.

Chu Yingruo was indeed very dissatisfied when she saw this scene, "Second cousin, didn't you just say that you had something to do when you returned home?"

"Yes, there are some things, but they are just small matters. Now that Miss Bai is here, if I can help in any way, I will naturally do my best to help." Ye Beihao behaved like a real gentleman.

Chu Yingruo gritted her teeth even more.

She hinted so clearly, how could her second cousin not understand?

Or was it that she was also seduced by this vixen? Thinking of this, Chu Yingruo couldn't help but glare at Bai Qianxi again.

"Miss Bai, are you willing to go on this journey with me?" Ye Beihao invited again, looking very sincere.

"Okay." Bai Qianxi nodded. She had thought it through. This was fine. After all, if it was just Uncle Zhao, she couldn't guarantee whether Emperor Dongli would be willing to see her.

Thinking of the refugees who were still sick, she felt that this matter needed to be resolved as soon as possible.

Chu Yingruo didn't expect that Bai Qianxi would actually agree in front of her, and her eyes immediately shot towards Bai Qianxi like a knife.

But with Ye Beihao around, Chu Yingruo couldn't continue the previous topic and could only watch Ye Beihao lead his men into the palace.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your help just now." Bai Qianxi expressed her gratitude.

"Why should we thank each other? After all, we have appreciated the flowers together." Ye Beihao tapped his folding fan lightly, looking very elegant.

"It's just that my cousin, my father always dotes on her, so it's inevitable that she's a little willful sometimes, but she has a good nature, so please don't blame her, young lady." "No."

The two of them walked and chatted, talking about random things, and looked very harmonious.

It was not until I arrived at the Imperial Garden that I saw Uncle Zhao coming from afar, and beside him was the eunuch Deyu.

"Xi'er, why did you come in?" Uncle Zhao was surprised when he saw Bai Qianxi appear in the Imperial Garden.

When he saw Ye Beihao again, he understood instantly.

Bai Qianxi greeted Master Zhao before turning to look at Ye Beihao and politely said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for sending me here. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."

"Okay, take care girl."

Ye Beihao spoke gently, but when he looked at Deyu who was following Uncle Zhao, a barely perceptible light flashed in his eyes.

really interesting.

Bai Qianxi followed the two through the layers of paths to the imperial study, where she met Emperor Dongli again.

After the greeting ceremony, Emperor Dongli spoke slowly, his scrutinizing eyes falling on Bai Qianxi.

"Bai Wu Niang, I know you knew some medical skills before, but I didn't expect you to have such a talent. However, do you know how to deal with the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

"I understand, but this matter is of great importance. If we are not careful, it will cause great suffering to the people. How can we disregard so many lives just because of momentary fear? Even if what happened today was just a momentary misunderstanding, I will not regret this trip!"

Looking at Bai Qianxi's unwavering look, Emperor Dongli nodded with satisfaction, "You are very courageous. How do you think I should deal with this matter?"

"Lose the city."

"The number of people infected with the plague in the city is not too large yet. It is a continuous flow of people. If someone travels, it will easily cause a large-scale infection. Even now, a large number of refugees are entering the city one after another."

“I can’t guarantee whether any of these refugees have contracted the plague. But whether or not, we cannot allow them to enter the city, nor can we allow them to leave.”

"The best way is to set up a large refugee quarantine point outside the city to house those refugees, and it would be best to send the Royal Guards to organize order."

Bai Qianxi spoke in an orderly manner.

It was obvious that she had thought all this through before entering the palace, but Emperor Dongli was still a little hesitant.

"What you said makes sense, but closing the city is no small matter. If it is confirmed that it is not a plague, it will definitely cause panic among the people."

"Let me think about this matter again."

"Your Majesty! It's too late to consider it!" Bai Qianxi said anxiously, no longer caring about the other party's identity, and said, "The plague is spreading very fast now, and we have very little time left!"

During the time she was in the palace, I'm afraid countless people on the streets had been infected with the plague!
Just as Emperor Dongli was about to continue speaking, a sobbing sound was heard outside the door.

"Your Majesty, please see me... I have no other choice..."

"What's going on? Who's outside?" Emperor Dongli asked with a hint of anger in his tone.

Deyu did not dare to neglect the words and hurried in to report, "It's Mr. Wen."

"Call her in! It's inappropriate for her to cry in the palace!"

Emperor Dongli scolded, and soon someone walked in.
