A short while later.

Finally, the imperial physician came out, and Granny Li couldn't wait to go to him.

"How is it? Is Miss Mu really ill? Is it serious?" Granny Li asked anxiously.

The two imperial physicians first bowed to the three people, and then one of the physicians answered Li Mama's question.

"Alas, Miss Mu, you are quite ill; it sounds like tuberculosis," the imperial physician said gravely.

Prime Minister Mu was shocked and his legs suddenly went weak. Fortunately, Imperial Censor Han, who was standing next to him, quickly supported him.

"What did you say? Xiao Wu has tuberculosis? How is that possible? Other doctors have come to see him, and none of them said he has this disease... How is this possible? How is this possible..."

Prime Minister Mu's tone was filled with shock and disbelief.

Granny Li couldn't tell that Prime Minister Mu's demeanor was genuine, and besides, those two imperial physicians...

Granny Li turned her gaze to another imperial physician and asked, "Imperial Physician Xu, is Miss Mu truly seriously ill?"

Physician Xu nodded gravely, "Indeed, such a young age to have contracted this disease..."

"However, Prime Minister Mu need not worry. Isn't the eldest disciple of the Divine Physician Valley at the General's Mansion? We can ask the divine physician from the Divine Physician Valley to examine Miss Mu. Perhaps he can cure her."

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Mu immediately became excited. "Yes, yes, how could I have forgotten? The disciples of Divine Physician Valley are at the General's Mansion. I will go and invite the divine physician from Divine Physician Valley to treat Xiao Wu."

After Prime Minister Mu finished speaking, he was about to head to the General's Mansion immediately. After taking a few steps, he looked back at everyone and then turned back.

He first instructed the steward standing at the door, "Quickly prepare a carriage for me, and go to the storeroom to get some generous gifts. Hurry up and prepare them; I'll go and invite the divine physician right away."

Afterwards, he spoke apologetically to Grand Tutor Xiang Yu and Han Yixuan, "I am truly sorry for both of you. Such a thing happened at home. Please forgive me for any shortcomings in our hospitality."

The Grand Tutor quickly waved his hand, "Oh, the child's illness is the most important thing."

The Grand Tutor then looked at Han Yixuan and asked, "Why don't Imperial Censor Han accompany the Prime Minister to the General's Mansion? I've heard it's very difficult to get disciples from the Divine Physician Valley to make house calls. If we go together, perhaps we can find a better chance."

Han Yixuan nodded, "Of course, of course, thank you for your trouble, Prime Minister."

Prime Minister Mu bowed gratefully to the two men, saying, "On behalf of my daughter, I thank you both. Once my daughter recovers, I will personally bring her to express my gratitude."

After Prime Minister Mu finished speaking, he turned to look at Granny Li, his face showing some difficulty. "Granny Li, as you can see, Xiao Wu's condition is serious now, so there is no way for him to go to the palace to accompany the Empress Dowager for the time being."

Please, Granny Li, return to the palace first and truthfully inform the Empress Dowager of my daughter's condition. Once my daughter has recovered, I will bring her to the palace to apologize!

The surrounding residents were talking about it.

"Prime Minister Mu has worked so hard for Tianmo Kingdom for so many years, and now Miss Mu has contracted this illness, which is incurable and can even lead to death."

"Don't talk nonsense. The disciples of the Divine Doctor Valley are at the General's Mansion. We'll go to the General's Mansion together with the carriage and beg the Divine Doctor to treat Miss Mu Wu."

"That's right, Miss Mu is only ten years old. Her life has just begun. I saw her on the street once. She's fair-skinned, tender, and very well-behaved and sensible. Unlike my naughty child, who only knows how to ask for candy all day long."

"She's the Prime Minister's daughter, destined to marry into royalty. How can she compare to your wild girl?" someone mocked.

"Oh dear, the Empress Dowager is really something. Her daughter is only ten years old. Why bring such a young child into the palace? She should be enjoying the company of her parents. Who knows what she will become after she leaves the palace?"

“That makes sense. Once you enter the palace, it’s like entering a deep sea. The people in the palace are very cunning. Do you think the Empress Dowager is just a figurehead?” someone analyzed methodically.

If Yun Qingluo and Xiao Yi were here, they would definitely drag this person to tell him a whole story about Zhen Huan.

you do not say.

The Empress Dowager is the biggest winner in palace intrigue dramas, how could she not have any tricks and schemes?

Listening to the people's discussions, Granny Li knew that it was impossible for her to bring Miss Mu Wu into the palace.

He felt a little bitter. He hadn't completed the task assigned by the Empress Dowager, and he figured he was going to anger her.

But she still said gently, "Prime Minister Mu, you are too kind. This old servant will definitely explain the truth to the Empress Dowager later. I believe the Empress Dowager will not blame me. On the contrary, given the Empress Dowager's affection for Miss Mu, she will definitely feel sorry for Miss Mu."

Prime Minister Mu waved his hand, "It is my daughter who is not fortunate enough to serve the Empress Dowager. Please don't say that, Granny Li."

Granny Li asked a few questions about Miss Mu Wu with concern, and then returned to the palace in the carriage.

Steward Mu had already prepared the carriage. Prime Minister Mu glanced at the Grand Tutor, who nodded slightly, and Prime Minister Mu understood.

Then, the Grand Tutor and Han Yixuan were invited to get into the carriage together.

He knew this was all an act; Xiao Wu wasn't sick at all, and the two imperial physicians' words...

Han Yixuan seemed to see through Prime Minister Mu's thoughts and explained, "That's right, those two imperial physicians are indeed the Emperor's men. However, on the surface they are the Empress Dowager's men, but in reality they have long been taken under the Emperor's command."

The Grand Tutor stroked his beard and nodded. "That's right. It was a spy from the Empress Dowager's side who reported that the Empress Dowager wants your fifth daughter to come to the palace to accompany her. She probably saw that you didn't reply, so she wants to use Miss Mu as a bargaining chip to threaten you. In the eyes of outsiders, going to the palace to accompany the Empress Dowager is an honor. If you intentionally refuse, then some people will definitely say that you are disrespecting the imperial authority, and the Empress Dowager will have an excuse to punish you."

Prime Minister Mu bowed towards the direction of the palace and said, "This old minister thanks Your Majesty for your help in rescuing us. I will stand with Tianmo Kingdom to the death."
