The Rising Phoenix-Chapter 653: Arrange For Treatment

"Mother, can you explain what is going on here?" The empress’s voice cracked in worry.

"I injured my heart a long time ago. Because of that, I can not advance in my cultivation anymore. My lifespan is getting shorter and shorter. If my injured heart has not been treated, I might pass away within 5 years." The empress dowager opened up about her illness.

"Mother, why don’t you tell us?" The empress cried.

"I don’t want to worry you. The pharmacists have been working to search for the elixirs, but to no avail. The elixirs that Lady Bai mentioned earlier are the exact elixirs that the pharmacists had been looking for ages. That is why I am willing to pay that much. It is for my life. Of course, it will not be cheap." The empress dowager stated.

"I don’t mind if you want to check the elixirs first." Bai Xifeng stated.

"When can you treat me?" The empress dowager asked.

"Tomorrow." Bai Xifeng asked.

"That fast?" Even the empress dowager was surprised.

"I already have all of the things that I need for your treatment." Bai Xifeng stated.

"You mean you already have all of the elixirs prepared? Do you already know that the empress dowager has the illness?" The empress could not help to be suspicious.

"Of course not... I am not a fortune teller. I just happen to concoct them as I practice my skill as a pharmacist. If not because of Your Highness’s illness, I probably will sell them later." Bai Xifeng stated.

The empress and the empress dowager were silent as they looked at Bai Xifeng in shock. Bai Xifeng looked at them, confused.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Bai Xifeng asked.

The empress dowager was the one who snapped back to reality. "Lady Bai, are you saying that you are a pharmacist? Not to mention, you are a Lord Rank pharmacist?" She asked.

"Yes." Bai Xifeng nodded nonchalantly, like it was nothing worth mentioning.

"You!" The empress was speechless.

The empress knew how Bai Xifeng was before. A person whom they regarded as trash, who could not cultivate, is now the strongest among the young generation. Not only that, she was also a Lord Rank Pharmacist. She changed a lot, totally different from two years ago.

"So, let’s wait for tomorrow, shall we?" Bai Xifeng said.

"Yes, Lady Bai. Let’s meet tomorrow. What time will you come over?" The empress dowager asked.

"Hmm... Let’s meet at 10 in the morning. Oh, before that, prepare a tub with warm water. We will need that." Bai Xifeng said.

"What else that we need to prepare?" The empress dowager asked.

"That’s all." Bai Xifeng said.

"I see." The empress dowager nodded.

"Well, then, I will excuse myself first." Bai Xifeng smiled.

When she was about to stand up, the eunuch announced the crown prince’s arrival. The empress was surprised when she heard that. She subconsciously looked in Bai Xifeng’s direction. Bai Xifeng did not stop her action.

Liu Jun’s eyes lifted up when he saw Bai Xifeng. The information that he got was right. Bai Xifeng was indeed visiting his grandmother.

Bai Xifeng saw Liu Jun. She stopped for a second and greeted Liu Jun. "Greetings for Your Highness, the Crown Prince. Well, then, excuse me." With that, Bai Xifeng rushed to leave.

Liu Jun was about to talk to Bai Xifeng, stunned as he saw Bai Xifeng leave in a hurry. She must still be angry at him.

"Crown prince, what are you doing here?" The empress asked.

"Well... I come to visit Grandmother." Liu Jun said.

"What a liar." The empress dowager scoffed. "Don’t think I don’t know about it."

Liu Jun coughed, wanting to cover his embarrassment.

"Grandmother, why does Lady Bai come to visit you?" Liu Jun wanted to know about that.

"I like that girl. So, I invite her to talk." The empress dowager said.

The empress dowager did not want any trouble. So, it was better to hide the matter from others for now. The less people knew about, the better it was.

"You like Lady Bai?" Liu Jun asked.

"Of course. She is great. But it is a pity that she will be going to marry Longwei." The empress dowager sighed as she thought about that.

"I also think so, Grandmother. How about..." Liu Jun wanted to continue, but the empress dowager cut him off.

"This is all your fault. Your grandfather arranged a perfect marriage for you, but you mercilessly threw her away." The empress dowager scolded Liu Jun.

Liu Jun was silent. He did not know how to reply to that.

The empress dowager really pitied Bai Xifeng. Bai Xifeng should be the most suitable person for the crown prince. She was going to talk about that to her son after the banquet. However, when she heard about Bai Xifeng’s words yesterday about not being willing to get married into the royal family, she did not plan to talk to the emperor about that anymore.

The empress dowager liked Bai Xifeng’s reason for not wanting to get married into the royal family. She wanted her husband to be only hers and only hers. Her husband, the former emperor, also had to accept the women which being pushed by the ministers. She was glad that his husband did not fall in love with other women. He even made the women drink the medicine that prevented conception.
