Mu Yan frowned and said, "I heard that His Majesty has not slept for several days, spending his nights with countless women and his days dealing with state affairs. Moreover, his complexion is unusually rosy, and he shows no signs of fatigue or discomfort."

Marquis Muwei was taken aback upon hearing this and said, "This matter is unusual. Didn't any of the other ministers try to dissuade the Emperor?"

Mu Yan shook his head repeatedly: "The pill Your Majesty took was made by the former sect leader of the Nangong Divine Sect. Everyone knows that the pills of the Nangong Divine Sect are extraordinary. Seeing that Your Majesty can be so energetic and vigorous without needing to rest, everyone thinks it is a good sign that Heaven is blessing our Dongyue."

Marquis Muwei's gaze sharpened, and he said, "Absurd! Something is definitely amiss!"

Mu Yan nodded: "My son thinks so too, but nowadays our Mu family is insignificant and our words carry little weight, so no one will believe us."

Mu Weihou's mind raced. "There's no way Nangong Ce could be one of Su Yuntian's men."

Mu Yan paused slightly upon hearing this, "That's not right either. The Emperor has taken the divine pill refined by Nangong Ce, and his spirit and physical strength are even greater than before. What benefit does this bring to Su Yuntian?"

Su Yuntian had shown his ambition to seize the throne in front of Marquis Mu and his son. He was so arrogant that he was not afraid of being reported by them. Even if they did report him, Su Mu would not believe him completely. After all, if Su Yuntian wanted to usurp the throne, he would not tell his enemies so openly.

A cold smile appeared on Mu Weihou's lips. "Perhaps the Emperor's current vigorous appearance is just an illusion. Who knows when or where the Emperor might suddenly collapse? It's not entirely impossible."

Upon hearing Mu Weihou's analysis, Mu Yan pondered for a moment and grasped its deeper meaning. He was startled and exclaimed, "Father, you mean...?"

Marquis Muwei suddenly stood up from his chair, walked to the middle door, stared at the vast, endless night outside, and said in a deep voice.

"The future of Dongyue is about to change."
