Di Muxi was savoring the delicious food when she saw the pink dumpling slowly moving its chubby body towards her and handing her a beautifully wrapped small gift box.

"Here, this is my return gift."

After saying this, the pink ball walked away swaying in the hands of the palace maid.

"Return gift?"

Di Muxi didn't remember what gift Bai Yaoyao had given in return, and immediately looked at Mu'er opening the box with curiosity.

Inside the box was a beautiful jade pendant that looked valuable, but Mu'er obviously didn't like it. She couldn't be happy about the jade pendant when she thought about her adoptive mother's jade pendant being taken away.

"Oh, not even a dog!"

The nine-year-old Mu'er was obviously a little childish, but perhaps she also knew that this priceless jade pendant could not be kept. In short, before the banquet was over, Mu'er threw it into the newly built toilet.

Di Muxi then realized that the jade pendant had been lost, but she seemed to have seen Bai Yaoyao come to the toilet just as Mu'er left.

Does that mean he was seen?

But why doesn't she have any relevant memories afterwards?

Could it be that Bai Yaoyao did not pursue the matter at that time?

"Really? What does a three-year-old kid know? He will definitely forget it soon."

Di Muxi shook his head without thinking too much and continued to follow Mu'er's perspective to recall everything he had experienced. Time passed quickly and it seemed that only the content that left a deep impression would remain profound in his dreams.

For example, bullying. Perhaps because of the princess’ injury last time, the emperor was wary of everyone and rarely let the princess run around and play with these reckless hostages.

It wasn’t until the Chinese New Year, nearly two years after I came here, that I saw that pink ball again.

However, in the past two years, the hostages who bullied Mu'er did so under the banner of protecting the princess, so Mu'er hated the princess very much.

The pink ball, who is almost four years old, looks a lot taller. Besides the personal maid named Bai Xiaolu, there is another older personal maid who is nearly ten years old. No one knows her background, but she is very skilled in flattery and pleasing others.

Looking at Bai Yaoyao who was giving orders to the palace maid in a haughty manner, Di Muxi was not surprised. This was the inevitable result of spoiling a child too much.

In the days that followed, Di Muxi often heard that the princess had a big dog half the height of a person, and that she would ride on the dog for a walk every day, and would occasionally let the dog bite people.

Today he bit a palace maid's hand, the next day he scared a child and made him cry loudly, and the next day he scratched the face of an old eunuch.

All in all, this vicious princess finally became as terrifying as she imagined.

When Di Muxi was thinking this, the dream suddenly changed, and that still childish face appeared in front of him.

Bai Yaoyao was walking slowly towards them, leading the huge hound.

“This is the time I got bit by a dog that day!”

As soon as Di Muxi mentioned this incident, the anger in her heart began to bubble up. Because of this incident, it left a shadow in her heart until now, and she never dared to get too close to a dog again.

"Wait, something's wrong..."

Mu'er didn't notice that Di Muxi suddenly noticed that Bai Yaoyao's face was not good. She showed a scared expression from time to time when looking at the hound, but the personal maid named Xinyi beside her kept flattering her.

"Princess, don't you think this is very majestic?"

"But...I'm a little scared."

"What's there to be afraid of? The dog always listens to us. We've tried it so many times."

Bai Xinyi had just been granted a surname by the emperor not long ago, and she became much more inflated, especially after she became the princess's personal maid and discovered that the princess was extremely stupid and very easy to fool.

"But it's too big. I originally wanted to get a small one."

Bai Yaoyao felt a little aggrieved. She wanted to raise a fluffy cat that she could hold in her arms, not this big one like the one now, which was scary just by looking at it.

"You are His Majesty's most favored princess, so of course you have to raise the biggest pet."

Bai Xinyi felt that she had to show off the hound's power again, so she looked around and soon locked her eyes on a thin girl.

He's wearing tattered clothes, his facial expression looks gloomy, he's pale and skinny and he probably has no backing. It's definitely okay to use him in a demonstration.

"Da Huang, bite her for me!"

Bai Xinyi pointed and the huge hound pounced out, heading straight for Mu'er. Bai Yaoyao, who was originally holding the leash, couldn't hold on at all and was pulled away instead. Her tender white hands were rubbed by the rope, leaving red marks.

"So that's it?"

Perhaps it was because it was a dream, even though there was some distance between them, Di Muxi still heard it very clearly. The murderer who let the dog bite her was not Bai Yaoyao, but the personal maid. Everything she remembered was just her subjective conjecture as a child.

Feeling the severe pain from being bitten on her body, Di Muxi was not surprised but happy, because she remembered very clearly that after being bitten half to death by a dog and thrown into the woodshed, it was the person with the scent of orchid on her body who saved her.

"I think we can find it this time, right?"

As he completely passed out, the scene became endlessly dark. Just when he thought he would be able to find that person when he regained consciousness, what he saw when he opened his eyes again was his own dragon bed.

"finished?"

Di Muxi was very disappointed. He had thought he could find it, but now it seemed he could only wait until next time. He didn't know if he could have such a dream again.

………………

"Damn it, stop it!"

Bai Yaoyao wanted to cry but had no tears. She was just one step away from clearing her original identity, but then that guy Di Muxi woke up?

Do we have to wait until next time?

But Bai Yaoyao was really unwilling to give up. You know, it would be too difficult to wait until Di Muxi fell into a deep sleep.

In order to wait for this opportunity, she stayed up until the hour of Hai every day. The hour of Hai!

This is equivalent to ten o'clock in the evening. In ancient times, it was completely dark at six o'clock in the evening. People had to go to bed when it got dark. It was dark and there was nothing to do. It was also cold. If they didn't go to bed, they didn't know where to go.

She felt sleepy as soon as she got into bed. It was already her limit for Bai Yaoyao to last until the hour of Hai, as Di Muxi was still awake at this time. And she had no idea when she would fall into deep sleep.

"It's so tiring to be an emperor!"

Chapter 26: First Mission Point Completed

Bai Yaoyao came to the woodshed and looked at the charcoal that was almost half gone. She thought she should save some charcoal. She usually used four charcoal stones, but in the future she could just use two.

"I haven't seen Huahua for a long time, and I don't know how it is."

Because the cost of raising a pet in the cold palace would increase infinitely, after making some deals with Doctor Gu early on, Bai Yaoyao asked someone to take Huahua out to be raised, and she only paid an extra ten taels of gold. If she had kept the pet in the palace, she wouldn't know where to find that amount of bamboo every day, and she might have spent even more.

"By the way, do pandas hibernate in winter?"

This thought suddenly came to Bai Yaoyao's mind. Bears hibernate in winter, and pandas are also bears, so would they hibernate too?

She really doesn't understand this.

Thinking back carefully, I seem to have seen a live broadcast of a panda's birth in winter, so they shouldn't need to hibernate.

【Key products are available on the shelves...】

"The system gave me a chance?"

A familiar mechanical sound came from her ears, and Bai Yaoyao quickly opened the system panel in surprise. A glittering product was lighting up in the system store, and the price was 1 redemption point.

"Well, I'm after the few coins in my pocket."

The product name clearly states the specific solution to the first mission point.

Obviously, the main task of this system is to help her complete the task while continuously draining the few redemption points in her pocket.

"Buy it, buy it. How can you not buy it?"

The blatant conspiracy was almost written on her face. Bai Yaoyao had no choice but to buy it. Then a familiar arrow of light appeared in front of her.

"Just follow this."

Bai Yaoyao had the illusion that she was just a tool.

Uh...it shouldn't be an illusion, she is just a tool.

"We have to find a chance to get out."

Bai Yaoyao fell into deep thought.

........................

When coming to check Lu'er again, Bai Yaoyao took the initiative.

"Bai Cainu wants to go out and see the pandas?"

After receiving this request, Doctor Gu did not reject it immediately. Instead, after a little thought, he felt that it was very likely.

Putting aside the question of whether there would be a risk of being exposed, Bai Cainu had such a huge fortune and was so generous that she could definitely take some risks.

As long as there is enough money and some arrangements are made, it can be a big deal or a small matter for a person from the cold palace to go out for some fresh air. Even if it is really exposed, the risk will be reduced as much as possible. As long as it is not reported to His Majesty, there should be no problem.

As for Bai Cainu's excuse of watching pandas, Doctor Gu just thought it was for fun. Who would believe it? At most, it could be used as an excuse to make a living if something happened.

"This may give us some chance..."

As soon as Doctor Gu finished his tactful words, Bai Yaoyao handed over a box without any expression. When they opened it, they saw that each pearl was half the size of an egg, and each one was full, round, and bright as a mirror. The most important thing was that each one was exactly the same size. There were as many as twenty or thirty of them, which could be said to be a show of great sincerity.

"It's easy to talk about."

Doctor Gu was delighted, but on the surface he tried his best to maintain the seriousness of a doctor.

"How about this, if nothing goes wrong someone will take you away tomorrow, and then just listen to my apprentice."

After Doctor Gu gave some brief instructions, he gave Bai Xiaolu some acupuncture and left with a box of pearls.

Since you have a priceless treasure in your hands, it is better to take it home and hide it as soon as possible.

………………

On the second day, Bai Yaoyao still failed to lure Di Muxi into her dream world.

Soon, two female apprentices of Imperial Physician Gu came in in the morning under the pretext of treating Bai Cainu's maid. One of them quickly took off her clothes and switched clothes with Bai Yaoyao. After disguising herself, although the absolutely beautiful Bai Cainu still couldn't suppress her dazzling appearance, she just needed to put on a veil.

Because the weather was very cold and windy, many palace maids wore thick scarves to cover their mouths and noses to prevent frostbite, so it was not out of place.

However, the flaw was still huge, and anyone could have discovered something was wrong with a normal inspection. But the two guards at the gate seemed to be blind and let it pass without saying anything. It was obvious that the big box of pearls had worked.

The female disciple who led the way seemed to have received instructions. After leaving Yuzhao Palace, she followed Bai Yaoyao closely, for fear that Bai Cainu would wander around and bump into His Majesty or any concubine, which would be difficult to cover for her.

"Forget it, just follow me. One more person means more strength."

Bai Yaoyao had no objection. She didn't know where the golden arrow pointed to. If it pointed to an enemy's lair, it would be dangerous. But if it was something else...

Walking around, turning around, it seemed that the system also knew that she couldn't see too many people in her current situation, so she just walked to some narrow and remote places. The female disciple who had been following behind Bai Yaoyao was very confused. What on earth did this concubine who was banished to the cold palace want to do? Why did she always go to places like this? Could it be...

"Shh~"

Suddenly, Bai Yaoyao lowered her footsteps, raised her index finger and gestured to the female disciple to keep quiet, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

"you……"

The female apprentice wanted to say something, but Bai Yaoyao quickly covered her mouth with her hand, and then gently put her ear against the red brick wall. Seeing this, the female apprentice also followed suit and leaned her head against the wall.

Because there were no sound-proofing materials in ancient times, people could clearly hear what the people on the other side were saying. This is what is called eavesdropping.

"What do you say over there?"

"Increase the dose!"

One of the female voices was very gentle: "The Queen's methods are becoming more and more fierce and fast. If we don't implement the plan quickly, there may be unexpected changes."

"But the risk of exposure will greatly increase!"

Another female voice sounded a little sharp: "If something happens to the eunuchs who test the poison, we're finished. They don't care whether we live or die!"

"This is the original plan. We are all on the same boat."

The female voice that spoke was extremely cold and without any emotion.

"Where is this?"

Bai Yaoyao lip-synced with the female apprentice and spoke in a very low voice.

"here it is--"

The female disciple obviously did not hear what the people inside were saying, nor did she realize the seriousness of the matter. She just thought that someone was planning something, and at the same time, she did not have the cautiousness of the people in the palace, and she did not lower her voice out of habit.

Bai Yaoyao's face changed drastically. She quickly covered up the voice of her female disciple, and when she listened carefully, there was no sound.

"Come on!"

Bai Yaoyao now regrets not getting rid of this female disciple before coming here, as it will only cause trouble for her!
