Chapter 55

The sunset glow was truly amazing . Apart from the descending sun in the west, the soft orange glow painted a brilliant image with the clouds . Where the moon was about to emerge, there was a gentle hue of purple contesting against the golden glow of the sun .

When Zi Su arrived with dinner, the sunset glows had already scattered, leaving behind a lonely moon . It was suspended in the pitch-black night sky, portraying a desolate picture .

“Young Lady, this servant saw that you were rather uncomfortable in the afternoon, I purposely chose some light dishes for you . Now that you are feeling better, I picked up some extra meat dishes to make up for lunch . ” Zi Su explained and laid out the dishes .

Perhaps it was due to the fact that Bai Luochu had eaten a lot during lunch, she wasn’t really hungry . Even after looking at the amazing dishes, her appetite didn’t grow . Hence, she simply ate a little more of those dishes she liked . As for those she didn’t she picked at them for a tiny taste before putting down her chopsticks .

“Are these dishes not to your liking? If they are not, this servant will bring them back and ask the kitchen to prepare other dishes for you . ” When Zi Su saw that Bai Luochu, who had always loved to eat, was picking at her dishes and eating very little, she felt really anxious .

“No need to trouble yourself . I ate a lot during lunch and I’m still feeling full right now . Are you really trying to turn me into a pig?” Bai Luochu saw how anxious Zi Su was and quickly explained herself . She didn’t forget to make fun of Zi Su while she was at it .

When Zi Su heard the explanation, she understood that Bai Luochu wasn’t really hungry . She kept the dishes and took out the plate of desserts . “If Young Lady is hungry in the middle of the night, you can eat these desserts to fill your stomach . The kitchen doesn’t have any more food at night and Young Lady mustn’t starve yourself . ”

"Alright . You have been very considerate . Now that I’m feeling a little bloated, how about taking a stroll? Would you like to come with me?” When Bai Luochu saw how considerate Zi Su was, a warm feeling blossomed in her heart . She thought about the past and didn’t understand why the appearance of the secret guards who were willing to risk their lives for her appeared in her mind . A surge of emotions welled up in her heart and she decided to go out for a stroll .

Zi Su must have seen the drop in Bai Luochu’s mood as she didn’t say anything before following Bai Luochu out of the room .

The weather tonight is really pleasant . It was a night with a bright moon as stars twinkled in the darkness . As a breeze gently blew through the lands, the fragrance of the flowers scattered around, filling the place with a slight aroma .  

"Zi Su, where are your parents?" Bai Luochu just stared at the bright moon motionlessly as she directed a question to Zi Su .

“In response to Young Lady’s question, as far as this servant can remember, there were no relatives by my side . I grew up as an orphan and when His Highness saw how pure my background was, he placed me in such an important position . ”

“That is true . ” Bai Luochu understood Pei Rumo’s personality . If the servant wasn’t an orphan like Zi Su who had a simple background, how could he possibly allow her to stay beside Bai Luochu and take care of her needs? Bai Luochu didn’t understand what influenced her but she suddenly felt a sense of melancholy . She started gossiping with Zi Su by her side .

“I apologize for reminding you of your sad past . ” Bai Luochu smiled apologetically at Zi Su and apologized .

“It doesn’t matter, Zi Su never met them before and there isn’t anything sad about it . Instead… it is Young Lady who seems to be feeling rather down today . ” Zi Su had already detected something wrong with Bai Luochu and the reason she asked was because she was afraid that Bai Luochu would form a mental knot . If that were to really happen, Bai Luochu’s cultivation would be affected .

“You are paying quite a bit of attention to me huh? It is actually nothing much . I’m feeling a little lonely because of the bright moon and sparse stars . There is a saying, ‘The bright moon makes one yearn for home’ . I’m thinking about the past and I realized that my life has been really miserable . ” Bai Luochu seemed to be out of sorts today as she was unprecedentedly honest to Zi Su .

There wasn't anything wrong with Bai Luochu’s words . Even if Bai Luochu was more steadfast than regular young ladies, she was still a woman and there would be times when she became emotional .

In her opinion, she alienated the people who were originally close to her because of Lu Wenshu in her past life . It could even be said that she had a falling out with all of them . However, in the end, she could be said to be the one who brought them all their suffering . The more she thought about it, the more remorseful she felt .

However, these words weren’t as simple as they seemed when the First Prince, Pei Rumo, heard them .

“It seems like her identity isn’t fake . From the looks of it, something must have been planted inside her . ” The secret guard analyzed by himself .

“That might be true, but it is still better for us to keep monitoring her . If nothing goes wrong in the next few days, there is no longer a need to monitor her so closely . Go back and keep observing her . There are no other instructions from me . ”

When Pei Rumo listened to the report that the secret guard narrated, he learned about all the events that happened when Bai Luochu was with Zi Su . There was an indifferent expression on his face as he gave a short response before ordering the guard to return to his post .

As Bai Luochu had been admiring the full moon with an aching heart, she didn’t stay in the courtyard for long . She went back to her room and started to cultivate again .

After pouring her heart out to Zi Su, Bai Luochu felt as though all the things weighing her down had disappeared . With assistance from the medicinal ingredients, Bai Luochu was truly improving at an incredible pace .

It was deep into the night and Zi Su had calculated the timing accurately to enter Bai Luochu’s room in order to help her clean up and get ready for bed .

Perhaps Zi Su felt that Bai Luochu wasn’t in a good mood today as she had specially laced her words with praise . “Young Lady, you are now famous on the streets . This afternoon, news leaked about how you refused the position in the Imperial Physician Court . No one knew who leaked it but there were even people talking about how you rejected the position in order to  ‘treat patients all over the world’ . Right now, your reputation is soaring!”

It was easy for Bai Luochu to guess that Pei Qingfeng was the one behind all this . If there was one thing she was annoyed about, it was about how Pei Qingfeng’s information network encompassed even the imperial study . He even polished up the story before spreading it to the public . No matter what, Bai Luochu didn’t feel good about it and she asked, “Zi Su, do you know the meaning of this statement ‘fortune and misfortune are interdependent’?”

“Zi Su understands . Is Young Lady scared that something might go wrong?”

“I am not worried . Originally, the capital city is somewhere where medical services don’t come cheap . Now that I am volunteering to provide treatment, some people will definitely be infuriated . It won’t be long before they start looking for trouble . ”

Zi Su was stunned and didn’t know what to do . “Then… what should we do, Young Lady?”

“I will react accordingly . Your Young Lady isn’t someone easy to provoke . If they really come and look for trouble, they can’t blame me for being merciless . ”

Zi Su saw that Bai Luochu already had a plan in mind and didn’t say much . She quietly helped Bai Luochu freshen up for bed before leaving the room .
