Chapter 755 The General is Gone, He's Gone Home

“It’s no big deal,” the cat said immediately.

Perhaps because Mu Xi had been behaving so well these past few days, the Emperor stopped sending people to keep an eye on her all the time. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Maomao took Mu Xi out directly.

They went to many places, and when they returned in the evening, Mu Xi began to organize new maps.

Mu Jin also came.

Mu Xi stopped what she was doing and chuckled, "Thanks to my second brother for teaching me surveying, I was able to draw such an accurate map in this kind of place. It's priceless."

Indeed, given the world's current level of surveying and mapping technology, such a precise map is impossible to create.

She organized all the documents and maps and put them aside, feeling somewhat relieved.

Because, after seven days and nights of writing, she finally finished writing them all.

Only then did Mu Xi notice that Lan Yan was not there, and she couldn't help but ask, "Why haven't I seen Lan Yan these past few days?"

The cat pointed to a place on the map, "He's here."

Mu Xi said in surprise, "There are no people in these deep mountains, but there are many wild animals. What is he doing there so late at night?"

Cat: "He's there every day. Lan Yan is my apprentice now. This world is rich in spiritual energy, so I leave him there to cultivate!"

Mu Xi couldn't help but laugh. "Lan Yan actually became an apprentice! He certainly knows how to pick a master."

Cat looked at Mu Xi and thought to herself that she probably didn't know that her disciple had become her disciple because of her.

Mu Xi continued, "Second Brother, I have nothing left to prepare and can leave at any time. However... is there any way to make my departure more reasonable? I don't want the Emperor to go to great lengths to find me because of my sudden disappearance, which might even implicate the Mu family army."

Mu Jin looked at Mu Xi and, as if she had been expecting this, tossed her a small box.

Mu Xi opened the box and saw that inside was only a single black pill.

Mu Jin said, "After taking this pill, you will die within three days. However, it will only be a state of suspended animation. I have a pill that can wake you up. Once everyone in the world believes that you have passed away, I will take you away."

Mu Xi took out the pill and ate it immediately without hesitation.

To die within three days sounds terrifying; if one doesn't take a reviving pill, they'll never wake up again.

However, Mu Xi was not worried because the one who arranged all of this was her second brother, whom she trusted implicitly.

That night, Mu Xi went to sleep and didn't get up the next day!

She was in a daze, her consciousness was somewhat scattered, and the palace maid noticed something was wrong and was so frightened that she immediately called the imperial physician.

Soon, the Emperor also heard the news. Despite having the morning court session in progress, he hurriedly left the court and went straight to Xingfeng Palace!

"What happened? She was fine yesterday, why did Sister Xi fall ill today?"

When the Emperor arrived, he saw Mu Xi lying on the bed, her face pale. She was too weak to even speak and couldn't get up at all.

The Emperor summoned all the imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Academy! A group of physicians knelt on the ground, discussing the matter for a long time, but they still looked worried.

This enraged the emperor even more!

"Are you all mute?! Speak to me!"

A royal physician said tremblingly, "The General's symptoms are something we have never heard of or seen before..."

The Emperor immediately kicked him to the ground! "Do I need to listen to your nonsense? Heal her immediately! I said immediately! Prescribe a medicine and heal her!"

"The General's symptoms are truly peculiar. We are incompetent and cannot prescribe a remedy..."

"The general is unable to eat now. Forcing her to take medicine will only worsen her pain."

The emperor flew into a rage and unleashed his fury on a group of imperial physicians, who all trembled with fear.

At this moment, Mu Xi suddenly called out, "Your Majesty..."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor rushed back to the bedside, grabbed Mu Xi's hand, and said, "Sister Xi, I'm here. Don't be afraid. You just have a common illness and you'll be fine soon."

Mu Xi, with her eyes closed, said, "Why is it so noisy?"

Upon hearing this, the Emperor waved his hand abruptly, dismissing everyone. "Sister Xi, stop arguing."

Mu Xi was quiet for a while. The pill was quite potent. All she wanted to do now was fall into a deep sleep, feeling utterly weak.

"Have you finished approving your memorials?" Mu Xi asked.

The Emperor said, "It was approved a long time ago."

Mu Xi fell silent again. "Your Majesty, I'm sleepy."

Huang Shang hurriedly pulled Mu Xi, "Sister Xi, it's only just dawn, don't go back to sleep!"

However, Mu Xi still fell asleep.

The emperor suddenly strode away, ordering a large reward to be offered to recruit the best doctor in the entire city!

He kept having people treat Mu Xi, but every doctor said that there was no way to save Mu Xi!

The Emperor didn't believe it at all, but two days later, Mu Xi's condition had deteriorated to an extreme degree!

The imperial physician told him that the general could die at any moment.

The emperor immediately slumped onto his dragon throne, stunned and unable to recover.

After a while, he suddenly stood up and ordered someone to bring the phoenix coronet and embroidered robe that the Ministry of Rites had just sent. This was just a sample garment; he originally intended to have Mu Xi take a look before weaving it in detail.

The Emperor strode into Mu Xi's bedroom and sat down beside her.

He dismissed everyone around him.

He looked at Mu Xi with a sorrowful expression.

"Sister Xi, tell me, is it because you don't want to be my empress that you're resorting to this method to leave me?"

Mu Xi did not answer.

The emperor seemed to be talking to himself, "We were about to get married... why did you still have to leave me in the end?"
