The next day, Bai Ruozhu went to the Female Physicians Institution within the palace, only to unexpectedly encounter Bai Guanghe on the road.
It was not unusual for Bai Guanghe to pass by this area on his way to the Imperial Study Room, so Bai Ruozhu didn't think much of it and, from a distance, gave him a polite but distant bow. A flash of pain crossed Bai Guanghe's face, but he quickly concealed it and rapidly walked towards Bai Ruozhu.
"Elder Bai, I have not been feeling well recently and was hoping you might take a look," he said, casting a meaningful glance at Bai Ruozhu and even carrying a pleading tone in his demeanor as he furtively glanced at Jianqi, who was by Bai Ruozhu's side.
Bai Ruozhu sighed softly. If not now, was he hoping to talk when he found his way home?
"Jianqi, go ahead and wait for me up front," Bai Ruozhu said in a low voice.
