Seeing her like this, the Fourth Master pinched her face gently and said in a harsh tone, "I'm right here, why don't you just look at me directly?"

What's so good about that? He has a lot of women in that place. Does Mianmian like to watch that? And the heroine is not her. She doesn't exist in it at all.

The Fourth Master didn't like it at all, let alone watching it. Every time he saw some scenes of women fighting, he would start to feel fortunate that he didn't have as many women as those in those shows, and the shows were all about women scheming against each other.

He didn't know what Mianmian liked to watch. Could it be that Mianmian liked to watch this kind of intrigue-filled plot?

He was not as fickle as the other people there. Except for a few women at the beginning, he kept himself chaste after Mianmian came and never touched them again.

Even if I went to their courtyard, I would just eat or sit for a while and then leave.

Wen Mianmian smiled softly, looked at the Fourth Master and said, "Master, don't you think it's very interesting?"

"Interesting." The Fourth Master narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly leaned over, holding Wen Mianmian in his arms. His expression was a little scary, and his tone was low, "Mianmian thinks intrigue is interesting."

Wen Mianmian sensed a dangerous aura, swallowed, and then placed her hands on his strong and broad chest, and shook her head quickly, "It's boring, not interesting at all."

"Mianmian finds it boring, so why don't we do something interesting?" The hot breath sprayed on her neck, and Wen Mianmian felt her neck itchy. Just as she was about to speak, she was picked up in the air.

Then the Fourth Master carried her into the inner room with a wicked smile on his face.

Wen Mianmian: “…”

Wen Mianmian knew she had been fooled, but it was too late...

——

The hunting in the enclosure was in full swing, and time passed very quickly. It was soon over, and Wen Mianmian and others set out on their journey back to the palace.

Wen Mianmian had just returned to the palace and hadn't had a moment to rest when Wang An came in to report what had happened in the palace during that time.

"The Queen is ill."

Wen Mianmian was a little surprised. Wasn't the queen in good health? She saw her when she just came back. How could she be sick now?

"I heard that the Emperor fell ill a few days after going to the enclosure, but the Empress endured it and didn't seek medical advice. His condition worsened the day before yesterday and he fainted. If not, I'm afraid no one would have known that the Empress was ill until now."

"How is the queen now? Is she getting better?"

Wen Mianmian didn't expect that the Queen was so resilient. It took almost two months for her to go hunting and back.

She didn't expect that the Queen Mother could hold on for so long, and when she came back just now, she saw the Queen Mother still there to greet her.

At that time, she felt that the Queen looked unhappy, but she didn't think much about it.

Now I think her illness has not healed, otherwise she wouldn't look so haggard, even makeup can't cover it up.

Wang An shook his head. "I heard that the Empress was lying in bed yesterday, unable to get up. I'm afraid she must have been forcing herself to go out and greet the Emperor today."

"Master, you should go and take a look." Shancha beside him asked.

Wen Mianmian thought for a moment, then shook her head gently. "No, the Queen forced herself to come out to greet us today despite her illness, because she didn't want others to know about her condition. So, what's the point of me going?"

It's not like she had nothing to do after eating, so she wouldn't go up to them eagerly and cause trouble. Besides, if she went there, the Queen would know that someone was watching her.

She didn't want anyone to know about her illness, and she didn't want to go there and offend anyone, so she decided to talk about it tomorrow.

I will definitely go to pay my respects tomorrow, so there is no need to rush.

"Master is right. We have to pay our respects to the Queen tomorrow. If we go today, who knows what the Queen will think."

After all, although the news of the Queen's illness had spread, the outside world was told that she had just caught a cold and was nothing serious. If that was the case, she didn't have to go.

Wang An also felt that what Nanny Song said made sense, so after talking about other things, he left.

Wen Mianmian had been sitting in the carriage for such a long time and was really tired at the moment. Seeing that they had nothing to do, she sent them to rest as well. After all, no one had had a good rest on the road.

"Master, why don't you have lunch first and then go to rest." The food they had eaten on the road these days was not good, and they only ate a little in the morning. She was afraid that the master's body could not bear it.

"No, I just want to have a good sleep now. I'd better eat after I wake up."

After lunch she still had to digest before she could rest, but now she was really tired and wanted to fall asleep right away.

Seeing that her master's face was full of fatigue, Nanny Song thought that her master was really tired, so she did not try to persuade him anymore and left.

When Wen Mianmian woke up again, it was already pitch dark outside. Wen Mianmian didn't expect that she had slept for so long.

Feeling hungry, Wen Mianmian quickly got up from the bed. Nanny Song, who was waiting in the outer room, heard the noise inside and hurried in.

"Master, you're awake." Nanny Song hurried over and hung up the bed curtain.

"Well, Ma'am, I'm hungry. Please ask someone to prepare the meal." She slept for so long that she was almost woken up by hunger.

"The meals are ready, just waiting for the master to wake up and serve."

She had originally wanted to wake up her master, but seeing that she was sleeping so soundly, she couldn't bear it, so she just waited outside.

"Mammy understands my heart the best." Wen Mianmian stood up and tidied up. Shancha and others had already prepared the meal.

"By the way, the emperor should be back soon, so prepare an extra set of bowls and chopsticks." I looked at Nanny Song and instructed.

"Yes, I'll give the order in a moment."

Wen Mianmian had just finished tidying up and sat down when she heard the sound of greetings coming from outside. She knew without thinking that it was the Fourth Master coming.

Sure enough, the next second the Fourth Master strode in.

Looking at what he was wearing, which was the same outfit he wore when he came back, Wen Mianmian knew that the Fourth Master must have been busy all day and had not rested at all.

The Fourth Master looked at the table full of food and said with a smile, "Why haven't you had dinner yet? Are you waiting for me to come back?" As he said that, the Fourth Master sat down next to Wen Mianmian.

"Yes, I just sat down and was thinking that the emperor would be here soon, but I didn't expect that he would come back the next second." Wen Mianmian said with a smile, her tone full of tenderness and concern.

After hearing this, the Fourth Master felt a warmth in his heart. He reached out and held Mianmian's hand. The fatigue of the day disappeared in an instant, replaced by relaxation and joy.
