Bai Zhi was so upset that she didn't fall asleep until midnight, and she felt so angry when she woke up in the morning.

It’s all Meng Ying’s fault! It’s all Meng Ying’s fault! It’s all Meng Ying’s fault!

She got out of bed, only to find Meng Ying with her eyes open and looking at her with an unknown smile, "Did you sleep well, Madam?"

"No! Please get out of my room, Prince."

Meng Ying saw the dark blue under her eyes, and felt a little guilty in her heart. She secretly cursed herself for drinking yesterday and doing such a bastard thing.

Meng Ying wanted to get up, but felt numbness in her legs and feet. He felt slightly panicked. He opened the quilt and saw that his toes were red and swollen again.

I thought I was getting better these days, but unexpectedly, I came back again.

He also took the medicine he was supposed to take and was treating it carefully every day. He didn't understand why the wound kept getting worse over and over again. If it continued like this, he could only follow the doctor's instructions and cut off the two toes next to him, otherwise he would A crippled ending.

He didn't like this feeling. He didn't like the damage to his teeth, hair, and skin. Even when he was manicuring his nails, he would trim them just right, let alone his toes.

Having her toes cut off was undoubtedly a huge humiliation for Meng Ying. Should she continue to cut off two more toes to save her legs?

He couldn't accept it no matter what, and he didn't want to look directly at these ugly feet, so he ran away with his tail between his legs.

He left Bai Zhi's room in a panic. The hurried footsteps were confusing, which made Bai Zhi, who was still dressing up, a little confused. Finally, she watched him limping out of the door.

She had not directly seen the injury on Meng Ying's foot, but she heard that the toe was cut off and the wound kept healing over and over again.

It hurt just thinking about it, and Bai Zhi couldn't help but shudder.

But she didn't ask. Once some concerns crossed the line, they would become ambiguous.

She had no intention of having an affair with him.

During breakfast time, although Meng Ying smiled as usual, Bai Zhi could see the panic in his eyes and his slightly pale face.

He is afraid.

Bai Zhi clearly sensed this emotion and felt his confusion for no reason.

A picture flashed through her mind. It was an evening filled with sunset. She was sitting in the yard, shaving someone's hair. She said to the man, "Husband and wife are of the same mind."

An inexplicable sadness swept over her. Bai Zhi turned her head and looked at Meng Ying, using her imagination to describe what he would look like with his hair shaved off.

Until Meng Ying's hand gently shook in front of her eyes, "What are you thinking about, madam?"

Bai Zhi suddenly came back to her senses and hurriedly concealed something, "I didn't think about anything."

Both of them had their own worries and didn't communicate too much.

After the meal, the family drove out without Mei Yuke. Meng Ying's reason was that she wanted to take Bai Zhi to the temple to pray for family reunion. The mountains were high and the roads were far, so she was afraid that she would not be able to walk on the mountain roads.

Mei Yuke was so angry that she cursed loudly in her residence. Meng Ying made it obvious in her words that they were a family and she was not.

Mei Yuke blamed all the sins on Bai Zhi. As early as when she went to Beicheng, several ladies were discussing her background, saying that she had a dirty background, that she was a woman from a brothel and had children with other men.

Brother Na Ying was fine not long ago, but why did he change his attitude after resting in her room for one night and wanted to be a family member with her?

Mei Yuke became angrier as she thought about it.

Meng Ying said that she had brought Angelica dahurica to pray for blessings, so she walked a long way, changed cars several times, and took a long time to reach her destination.

Bai Zhi knew that he had a plan, and he was going back and forth just to hide his whereabouts, and to prepare for the upcoming war.

She didn't ask too much, fearing that after knowing too much inside information, she would be tied to him and couldn't help but think about him.

They were on different sides now and had no reason to consider him.

They came to a sparsely populated place. Bai Zhi thought it was outside the wilderness. When they got off the carriage, they saw the grand, long, desolate and ruined walls.

Bai Zhi asked in shock: "Where is this place?"

"The royal palace in the old capital of the former dynasty."

It is a grand and continuous building. It is an old capital of the former dynasty, which gives the ruins a story.

"What are you doing here?" Bai Zhi and the children were a little confused.

"Come to play."

It's really unconvincing to Bai Zhi, but it's true to the children.

They ran happily along the long palace road, and the sound of laughter echoed from time to time, giving rise to the illusion of traveling through the past and present.

There were people waiting for Meng Ying at the intersection ahead. They saluted Meng Ying. Meng Ying took Bai Zhi's hand and introduced them, "This is Mrs. Salan."

"It's the princess, Lu Zi is rude." The speaker was a young man, lean and dark-skinned.

With the outsider around, Bai Zhi did not refute his face and accepted the title of princess in a decent manner.

The two walked and talked all the way, and then Bai Zhi understood the purpose of Meng Ying's trip.

They want to restore the house in this abandoned palace for future generations. But in the early days of the founding of the Chen Dynasty, the emperor was worried about restoration forces, so he ordered the place to be burned down.

The Lu family felt that this building was the culmination of all buildings from ancient times to the present, and they couldn't bear it. They could only pass on this obsession from generation to generation. Until today, they have waited for Meng Ying.

As the young man walked, he introduced Meng Ying, "This Yunshang Temple has a history of at least two hundred years. The red paint has experienced wind and solar eclipses, and it is still red and bright. It is amazing..."

He was so excited that he talked all the way. Finally, he told Meng Ying about the reconstruction plan. He felt that there was a problem in the middle, so he went on to study it on his own. He was really obsessed with it.

Bai Zhi couldn't help but ask Meng Ying, "Does what you do have anything to do with your war?"

She stood on the high steps, turned around and looked down at Meng Ying, her skirt flying.

"Of course!" Meng Ying said. Looking at her probing eyes, he still planned to tease her, "Be my wife and I will tell you."

"I'm sick! You don't like to talk, but you are building this palace of the previous dynasty. Are you not afraid of the remnants of the previous dynasty being restored?"

"What are you afraid of! The Chen country is already in ruins, what else does Sa Lan have to be afraid of?"

"Using copper as a mirror, you can straighten your clothes; using history as a mirror, you can know the ups and downs; using people as a mirror, you can understand gains and losses."

"Why did the previous dynasty fall? Sa Lan had to know that it was useless for Chen Kingdom to make the same mistake again." Meng Ying also turned around and faced the wind, her wide sleeves puffed up and her clothes fluttering.

"When you were born, wasn't Chen Kingdom already in chaos?"

"My father, the Queen, and my mother gave birth to me just for this mess, but I failed to do it, and still let the Chen Kingdom be divided. Madam, please tell me if this is my fault."

"You want to turn the tide on your own? Do you think you are a god? You are just an ordinary person, and you can't even handle the Mei family, but you still want to be a hero to save the world?"

Meng Ying turned around and looked at Bai Zhi behind her, shaking her head and laughing, "That's not true."

"Madam's words have lifted a huge burden off of Sa Lan, and she can finally take a breather."

"Sa Lan is an extremely ordinary person. She can get hurt, feel heartache, fall in love with a woman, dare not express love, and cannot love..."

"But no one believes in me. They think I can do anything. They praise me, praise me, praise me, and lift me to the sky..."

"But in fact, Sa Lan is very stupid. He doesn't know how to make Madam not sad. He doesn't know how to make a choice between Madam and the Mei family. He doesn't know what to choose between power and justice..."

Bai Zhi clearly felt his sorrow. She couldn't listen anymore. She interrupted him, "After talking so much, it's not what we should do! What is the prosperous age in your heart? If you don't do it, it will be over."

"Sa Lan is ashamed. Sa Lan is not as good as Madam. I don't have the clarity in Madam's heart..."

Meng Ying breathed a sigh of relief, stood on the same high stairs as Bai Zhi, stretched out her hand towards Bai Zhi, "Madam, teach me?"

Madam taught me.

These four words made Bai Zhi's heart tremble.
