At that time, Bai Ruozhu was unaware of the slanderous rumors; she had already entered the Imperial Palace.
The Empress Dowager probably feared Bai Ruozhu was unfamiliar with the surroundings, so she had Hao Mu wait today at the Palace Gate specifically to escort her to the Imperial Medical Hospital.
"Sister Hao Mu, I must trouble you," Bai Ruozhu said with a smile, handing Hao Mu a delicately made purse. Hao Mu accepted it cheerfully and joked, "This really is an easy job I've got here."
Bai Ruozhu knew the Empress Dowager was usually kind-hearted, and the elderly servants in Cining Palace were hard to impress. Hao Mu wasn't saying this just because of the Red Envelope Bai Ruozhu had given her.
"You really helped the Empress Dowager vent some anger; we all felt much refreshed by it. I truly want to thank you from the bottom of my heart," Hao Mu whispered when there was no one else around.
