Daily life in the academy

Bai Zhi had become very skilled at dealing with the situation after the first, second and third times. Her keen sixth sense told her that the conversation between them must be related to the epidemic. She swaggered out of the secret room with the man in black robe, wanting to see who he was and who he was involved with.

The man was tall and strong, and walked very fast. Bai Zhi could only jog to keep up with him. Sheng'an City in the dark was like a maze, and the streets and alleys in the market were all similar. If she was distracted for a moment, she might lose him.

Fortunately, Baizhi in her dream did not feel any physical fatigue, otherwise she would not be able to keep up.

The man stopped in a quiet alley. Bai Zhi bravely moved closer. Although the man couldn't see her, she could feel a strong sense of oppression standing next to him.

When Bai Zhi turned in front of him, the man suddenly looked up, his eyes as sharp as blades. Her heart skipped a beat and cold sweat broke out on her back. She thought she was discovered, until she heard the sound of footsteps behind her, and then she realized that the eyes were looking at the person walking behind her.

"how are things going?"

An Ziqian?

Bai Zhi turned around abruptly. The man was wearing a nightgown and had his face covered. He had nothing on his body to prove his identity, but from his eyes and familiar voice, she concluded that this person was An Ziqian.

The black-robed man bowed and saluted. "The people from the Imperial Observatory have already made all the arrangements. Furthermore, Prince Ning's wife is now ill. Given Prince Ning's temperament, she will definitely cause a scene in the court, blaming the Ministry of Revenue for its incompetence. Once the situation becomes serious tomorrow, the Crown Prince's status will undoubtedly be affected."

An Ziqian: "The Crown Prince is backed by the Murong clan. They have deep roots in the court and it won't be easy for them to fall. What I want is for them to fight each other."

"The Prince of Qi and the Crown Prince share the same mother. To outsiders, they appear to be close brothers, but His Majesty seems intent on training the Crown Prince and is extremely fond of the Prince of Qi. The Murong clan is happy to see which prince ascend the throne. Prince Gong recently accepted the invitation sent by my subordinates, so this will surely come to pass."

"it is good."

"So how's it going on your end?"

"They are very wary, so I need to prepare a way to get in. But don't worry, I already have a solution."

Bai Zhi stood beside the two men. She could understand every word they said, but when they put them together, she was confused. She couldn't help but wonder: Is this really the novel she had read?

It won’t be the parallel world thing, right?

Didn't An Ziqian rely on women to rise to power? This man in black robes is obviously a very powerful person. How did the two of them get together, and how can he use them to his advantage?

While they were wondering, the two had already separated. As Bai Zhi was wondering who to follow, her consciousness gradually dissipated and she fell into darkness.

At the same time, in Princess Ning's room, the father and son sat opposite each other.

"This matter is strange. Sheng'an City was hit by a sudden epidemic. No one died, but the vitality was damaged. Now my mother is also involved. This matter may be partly directed at you, father." Yan Qingchen habitually stretched out three fingers and tapped the table while thinking.

Prince Ning's face was solemn. "Your Majesty has always disliked factional fighting, and my Ning Palace has never interfered in matters of succession. That's why he is so favored. Xiao Yan has been sent to handle this matter. The Ministry of Revenue is ostensibly neutral, but you and I both know he is the Crown Prince's man. We can investigate, and so can others. If Xiao Yan and I clash in court tomorrow, who will be the most proud?"

"Prince Qi? Prince Gong?"

Prince Ning shook his head. "The truth of this matter remains unknown. Fortunately, Ah Yao, you brought Doctor Hu back in time, otherwise the Prince Ning's Mansion would have been dragged into the dispute."

Yan Qingchen tapped the tabletop regularly with his fingers, but made no reply.

Prince Ning saw his son lost in thought. He stood up, stretched, and said, "It's getting late. Your mother is fine. You should go back and rest. We will see the outcome of this matter later."

.....

Early the next morning, Princess Ning woke up and the atmosphere in the palace suddenly became lively.

When the princess heard that it was Baizhi's credit to invite Doctor Hu, she immediately sent someone to call them over.

"Azhi, you're truly our lucky star. I later heard that it was you who reminded Ayao about the horse race, and now you've saved me. If those three guys dare to bully you in the future, Auntie Rou will definitely stand up for you."

"Princess, it was Doctor Hu who saved you. I just made a small suggestion."

Princess Ning looked at her disapprovingly and said, "Azhi, don't call me Princess from now on. Call me Aunt Rou. Doctor Hu's contributions cannot be erased. My Ning Palace will naturally reward him handsomely. But if it weren't for you, Ayao probably wouldn't even know who Doctor Hu is."

"Princess...Aunt Rou." Bai Zhi couldn't bear her pitiful look and changed her words.

Princess Ning immediately beamed with joy: "Hey, that's right, Ah Zhi, I liked you the first time I saw you. From now on, you will be just like that brat Bai Lian. You're welcome."

Mu Bailian: "?"

It happened that Prince Ning had just returned from the morning court. When he entered the room, he heard that the princess had woken up, and he walked in with a smile on his face.

"Yeah, they're all here, Arou. How are you feeling today?"

Prince Ning looked around at everyone, walked straight to the bed and sat down. Seeing that the princess's complexion had become rosy, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Princess Ning smiled and said, "I feel much lighter now. Your Highness, please don't worry."

"Okay, okay, okay." King Ning said three times in a row.

The four of them tactfully left the room, leaving space for the middle-aged couple who were still very affectionate with each other.

Yan Qingchen led them to his own courtyard, and Mu Bailian sat down in the pavilion as if he was familiar with the place.

"Thankfully, Doctor Hu is here. Aunt Rou is finally fine, and we don't have to go back to the academy to hold it in for the time being. That's great."

Wenzhe nodded in agreement, a rare gesture. "I slept peacefully in the palace last night. Finally, I didn't have to listen to Bai Lian's snoring, talking in his sleep, or grinding his teeth."

"I...I wouldn't go that far. Besides, what's wrong with a man snoring?" Mu Bailian was dissatisfied.

Wenzhe took a sip of tea and was too lazy to pay attention to him.

Yan Qingchen glanced at Bai Zhi, who was not in the right state, and asked, "Ah...Ah Zhi, did you not sleep well last night?"

no respond.

Wenzhe: "Azhi, what's wrong with you?"

Bai Zhi lowered her head in thought and still did not respond.

Mu Bailian came over and slapped Bai Zhi on the shoulder.

"Hey, Ah Zhi, you've come back to life. What are you thinking about?"

Bai Zhi was frightened by him, her pupils slightly dilated, and she almost saw the master. She looked up and was about to scold Mu Bailian, but she saw the three people in front of her looking at her with worry. She raised her hand to touch her face and hesitated, "What's wrong?"

Wenzhe: "What were you thinking about just now? You didn't even hear Qingchen and I calling you."

What was he thinking about? Of course, he was thinking about the dream he had last night.

Since the outbreak of the Sheng'an epidemic, she vaguely realized that her dreams seemed to have a predictive and warning function.
