On the second day, Bai Jiyue got up early, washed up, and followed the prefect into the palace with Bai Jiri.

Today is the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. There are a lot of carriages parked outside the palace gate. They are the carriages of officials and ladies who are going to the palace for the banquet.

After entering the palace, Bai Jiyue and his sister separated from the prefect. The officials in the court went into the palace for the banquet, while they, the subordinates who had been allowed by the emperor to enter the palace, went elsewhere.

The eunuch leading the way led Bai Jiyue and his sister to a side hall where a banquet was set up. Everyone who came here, like Bai Jiyue and his friends, came with their superiors.

On the occasion of the Empress Dowager's birthday, the governors of various counties personally brought gifts to the capital to celebrate. The emperor was very pleased and agreed that the governors could each bring two outstanding subordinates with them to the palace for the banquet, so that they could also have a taste of the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet. Everyone knew that if they were lucky, they might even get rewards from the emperor and the empress dowager.

Bai Jiyue and Bai Jiri found an inconspicuous place to sit down, neither of them in the mood to socialize or greet others.

For others, an audience from the Emperor would be the icing on the cake; it would be the best if they had it, but it would be fine if they didn’t. But for them, it was a chance for their entire family to escape from the Dark Stone Wasteland.

If the emperor summons them this time, they are lucky. If he doesn't summon them, how can they get the opportunity to show up in front of the emperor?

It's not easy to enter the palace, I can't let this opportunity go to waste!

Bai Jiyue thought about it and had no interest in the food on the table. In order to relieve the psychological pressure, she turned her head and looked out the window.

Outside the window is the lake of the Imperial Garden, sparkling and with a beautiful scenery.

Bai Jiyue's eyes swept across the lake and suddenly fell under a small tree by the lake.

She had sharp senses and excellent eyesight. Although the figure under the small tree blended into the surrounding grass, she still recognized that it was a child wearing a green shirt.

She turned her head to a different angle and saw the little kid more clearly. It turned out to be a girl with two pigtails, with a delicate and pretty face, about four or five years old.

Bai Jiyue frowned slightly. How could there be a little kid by the lake in the back garden?

After a little thought, she realized, what other identity could such a small child have in the royal garden except a princess?

The corners of her lips curled up slightly. She had to admit that the little girl was adorable, like a porcelain doll. She became well-behaved and beautiful after a little dressing up.

Looking at the little kid, Bai Jiyue couldn't help but think of A Yuan, and her heart felt indescribably soft.

I don’t know how Ayuan is doing now, or whether he is living well. She misses him so much and wants to see him again!

An idea came to Bai Jiyue's mind. After returning from the capital, she would go look for A Yuan to make sure that he was living well with his family, so that she could feel at ease!

Her mind wandered for a moment, and she looked back again, but she didn't see the little figure under the tree. She quickly searched with her eyes, and found that the little green figure was actually staggering towards the water, paddling the water with his little hands as he walked!

Children are innocent and just think it’s fun, completely unaware of the dangers involved!

I don’t know where the people who are taking care of the little princess are, and they just let her get close to danger without realizing it.

Seeing her walking deeper and deeper into the lake, Bai Jiyue could no longer sit still, so she stood up and walked out. Bai Jiri was frightened by her behavior and didn't have time to pull her out.

Bai Jiyue walked out of the side hall and saw a palace servant guarding there. She quickly went over and told him what she had seen, and then said to him, "Hurry up and send someone to check it out. Don't let the princess get into danger!"

The palace maid responded and was about to leave, but after taking two steps she stopped, and then wanted to walk in the opposite direction, but after taking two steps she stopped again, looking like she was in a dilemma.

Bai Jiyue asked: "What's wrong?"

"If something happens to the princess when I go to call for help, I will die! I'd better go and see the princess first, but if the princess is already in danger when I go, what can I do? I won't be able to survive either!"

He looked at Bai Jiyue and said, "Miss, just pretend you didn't see this. This way, whether the princess is okay or not, it has nothing to do with us, right?"

Bai Jiyue's face darkened slightly. She could understand the palace maid's behavior. It was very easy to lose one's life in this palace. Everyone thought about protecting themselves first.

But her understanding does not mean that she agrees. The palace servants are afraid of taking responsibility, but she is not. She cannot bear to watch such a small life disappear!

"I'm going to the lake to see the princess. You go find someone to help. This way, even if something happens to the princess, it won't have much to do with you!" She said to the palace servant in a deep voice. Without waiting for his answer, she quickly walked towards the lake she had just seen.

By the time she ran under the small tree, she could no longer see the little green figure. She looked into the lake and suddenly saw a small piece of grass emerging from the water.

Her heart sank and she jumped into the water without hesitation and swam towards the little girl. Soon she touched the soft little body, lifted her up with one hand, and swam towards the shore.

While waiting to get ashore, other palace servants also came when they heard the noise.

Bai Jiyue put the little girl on the ground. Immediately, a palace maid came forward to check her breath. Her face changed drastically and she said in a trembling voice, "It's over. The little princess is dead! Even if the imperial physician comes with the elixir of the saint clan, it's too late! What should we do?"

The other palace servants also wailed and knelt on the ground crying. It was unclear whether they were crying for the little princess or for their own fate.

Seeing them like this, Bai Jiyue was furious. She pushed away the palace maid who was crying on the little princess, put one hand on the child's abdomen, and pressed down hard twice.

The palace maids cried out in surprise and rushed over to stop them. One said, "You are so bold that you won't let the princess rest in peace after she passes away."

Bai Jiyue scolded coldly without even raising his head: "How do you know that he can't be saved! You can do nothing but kneel down and cry?"

Her words choked everyone and made them afraid to say anything more.

Bai Jiyue pressed a few more times, and the baby spit out two mouthfuls of water, but still lay motionless.

Bai Jiyue felt her breath and probed her carotid artery, then knelt decisively beside the little girl, folded his hands, and pressed them under the girl's sternum again and again.

After pressing it fifteen times in a row, she leaned over again, pinched the child's nose and blew two breaths into her mouth.

The palace servants watching nearby gasped but did not dare to stop her. Although the woman's behavior was so out of line that it overturned their three views, they could at least see that she was trying her best to save the princess.

Bai Jiyue performed cardiac compression and artificial respiration countless times. Finally, the little girl's body suddenly straightened, she spat out saliva, and then resumed breathing.

Seeing that the girl's face became rosy again, Bai Jiyue breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that she was saved.
