Su Li smiled, "Of course there are ways, but we need everyone's help. We are all in the palace now, so we should be united."
Yan Zizhu also nodded, "Doctor Li is right, we can wait until we leave the palace to discuss other matters. The most important thing now is to treat the Empress Dowager."
So, the remaining eleven people lived in the palace, and Su Li was assigned to a decent room, next to Yan Zizhu and another female doctor. There are also many guards patrolling in their yard, watching their every move.
Su Li adapted well to this, but Yan Zizhu couldn't sleep because of the people walking around outside in the middle of the night.
"Doctor Li, Doctor Li!"
Su Li was in a drowsy sleep when someone shook her awake. She opened her eyes, looked at Yan Zizhu in front of her with loose hair and underwear, and struggled to sit up, "Why don't you sleep in the middle of the night? I'm here."
"I can't sleep..." Yan Zizhu was a little embarrassed when she said this, "People outside make me feel a little anxious, and I can't sleep well no matter what. Can I sleep with you?"
"..." Su Li looked at her speechlessly, rolled her eyes and fell asleep helplessly, "I'm so sleepy, don't disturb me."
She got up a little angry, Yan Zizhu woke her up in the middle of the night, she couldn't control her temper at all, so her tone was impatient.
Yan Zizhu didn't mind, she just snuggled in and slept on the outside.
The bed was quite spacious, and it was not a problem to sleep two people. Yan Zizhu fell asleep not long after laying down. But Su Li couldn't fall asleep anymore, she wasn't used to sleeping in the same bed with such an unfamiliar person, and her original drowsiness gradually subsided.
The moonlight came in, Su Li looked out of the window faintly, but she was thinking about her thoughts.
Ling Cang works for the emperor, so I don't know if I can meet him in the palace... But the chances are too small, I'm afraid it won't work.
A figure flashed outside the window, and Su Li sat up all of a sudden. She glanced at Yan Zizhu, who was sleepless, and quietly got up and walked to the door.
The figure flashed past again, and then stopped at the door.
Su Li's heartbeat suddenly quickened, her hand touched the door, and then gently opened it.
She saw a man standing at the door, dressed in black, hidden in the darkness. She held her breath for a while, looked at him, and then couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.
Ling Cang watched Su Li come out, stepped forward to hold her hand, and said in a low voice, "Why aren't you sleeping?"
Su Li dragged him to Yan Zizhu's room next door, and then dared to speak, "Yan Zizhu couldn't sleep and came to my room in the middle of the night, but she couldn't sleep well if she forgot. But, why are you here?"
There was no light in the room, only the moonlight came in, and the expression on his face could not be seen clearly.
"I'm worried about you. I know the emperor announced you into the palace, so I came to see you."
After hearing what he said, Su Li couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth, "Then are you okay staying in the palace at such a late hour? Will someone find out?"
"It's okay, but I can't stay for long." Ling Cang stroked her long hair, leaned over, and kissed her lightly on the forehead.
Su Li leaned in his arms, her ears turning red.
"It's okay, I'm glad to see you. Actually, I'm a little scared. I'm worried that the Queen Mother will be angered if I can't cure her. I'm worried that I won't be able to see you again. But now that you're here, I'm not afraid anymore."
"I'll find a chance to see you more, you should be more careful, stay here and don't run around, you know?"
"Well, I'm afraid..."
