“Mother, this is an imperial edict. Even if Mu Xue has her own thoughts, what can she change?” Qian Mu Xue looked at her mother and just smiled slightly.

snort!

Aunt Liu slammed her hand on the table in anger, then glared at her second daughter: "What are you saying? If that ugly hag really becomes the Crown Princess, how can my daughter and I have a good life?"

Seeing her mother angry, Qian Muxue bit her lip, a strange look flashing in her dark eyes, and then obediently asked, "Mother, please just tell me what you want Muxue to do."

Hearing her second daughter say this, Aunt Liu's expression softened slightly. She paced back and forth a few times, then stopped to examine her second daughter closely.

Qian Muxue lowered her head uncomfortably, her eyes darting around, as if afraid her mother would notice something. Her hands, clutching the silk handkerchief, were sweating profusely.

"Tomorrow I'll go to the palace to pay my respects to Consort Liu. After such a big incident, she should have some thoughts on it." Consort Liu had finally come up with a plan.

If she could establish a connection with the Crown Prince, it would be beneficial and harmless for Consort Liu, and she would likely give him a push later on. However, what she didn't know was that this was the Empress's idea.

Upon hearing this, Qian Muxue smiled slightly and, following her mother's wishes, said, "Muxue will go to the palace tonight."

"Alright, that's my good daughter. Go and rest!" Aunt Liu waved her hand, and Qian Muxue left.

Watching the second young lady's departing figure, Granny Zhang had some suspicions in her heart, but she wasn't sure if these suspicions were true, so she didn't say anything more.

Two hours later, a messenger came down to report that the Second Miss and Qian Yuexue had gone to the palace together. This puzzled Aunt Liu somewhat; what was the Second Miss's purpose in bringing that maid along to the palace?

However, remembering that his second daughter was always a person with her own ideas, he didn't think about it anymore and turned his attention back to Madam Su.

In order to get more information about the Su family and Qian Bowen, she visited the old lady much more frequently than before. However, apart from noticing that Qian Bowen's complexion was getting worse, she didn't get any other useful information.

However, she felt that Qian Bowen's complexion was getting worse and worse, which might be due to his poor health and the incompatibility with the environment.

However, Granny Zhang didn't think so. She always felt that something was wrong with the eldest young master, but she couldn't find any evidence. After thinking it over, she finally spoke up: "Master, the people over there reported yesterday that the eldest young master coughed up blood again last night."

"It would be better if she were dead! I didn't expect the Su family to actually have some tricks up her sleeve. She was so sick, yet she still managed to live for so many years." Su sipped her tea, a cold laugh escaping her lips. "What a pity. What good is living? With this body, she might not even live to see her wedding day. This means I still have a chance. Have you heard any news from Medicine King Valley lately? I need to get my health checked as soon as possible. If I can really give birth to a son for the master, even if that old geezer is protecting that bitch surnamed Su, I can still secure my position in the Qian family."

"I'll return to the Liu family tomorrow." Not only did Granny Zhang show no reluctance, but the Liu family also never stopped searching for Medicine King Valley. This was because the Liu family desperately wanted Consort Liu to give birth to a son.

...

Yawn! Yawn!

Qian Youxue sneezed several times, rubbed her uncomfortable nose, and cursed repeatedly, "Which bastard is nagging me again?"

"It's most likely that Mr. Bu Yu. You've emptied half of his medicine storehouse; he must hate you to death." Yunhe stirred the incense beside her and poured the young lady a cup of tea.

In order to help Lianxin recover faster, the master instructed Lianxin not to get out of bed, and she has been taking care of her for the past two days.
