Shen Yuerong's eyes turned a little colder. She was afraid that His Majesty's summons now was not a good thing. It was probably because of what happened yesterday.
She curled her lips and smiled. If the enemy comes, we will fight them; if the water comes, we will block it with earth. If His Majesty really wants to protect the prince, then she will naturally have a way to deal with it.
Then Shen Yuerong followed the eunuch who came to summon her into the palace.
Arriving outside the huge palace, Shen Yuerong's thin figure stood at the door.
There were many sounds of officials arguing in the hall, but they were blocked by the huge door, so Shen Yuerong could not hear them clearly.
Just then, the door opened and many officials came out.
When he saw Shen Yuerong standing there, his eyes looked a little strange, and he greeted her at the same time
"Greetings, Madam Princess."
Shen Yuerong responded with a smile, and waited until these people left before stepping into the palace.
As soon as you enter the palace, it is always exquisite and luxurious.
The palace maids and eunuchs were kneeling on the ground, the mist from the incense burner was rising, and the emperor was sitting on a soft couch on the side with his forehead raised.
Judging from the situation, there is a high possibility that you will encounter some difficult situations.
Shen Yuerong walked forward and bowed politely, then the emperor suddenly opened his eyes, asked her to sit down, and sighed meaningfully.
"My sister-in-law just got married to my younger brother. Originally, it was not his turn to do this, but there is no other way. I will only feel relieved if he does this."
When Shen Yuerong heard his words, she felt something was wrong, but her expression remained unchanged. She just chuckled and asked back.
"I don't know what your Majesty is worried about. If your husband can help your Majesty, I will do my best to do it."
The emperor looked at her and asked meaningfully.
"You really think so."
Shen Yuerong's heart was full of sarcasm, but she still pretended to be gentle and answered.
"Thunder, rain and dew are all grace from the emperor. Your Majesty trusts us, and that is a gift."
Then the emperor told her the purpose of calling her here today.
"It's not a serious matter, but there's a Miao Saint girl in the border area. Several countries are fighting for her, and we want to send someone to invite her back."
"If we can invite the Saint to our palace, those small countries that are eyeing us will not dare to act recklessly anymore."
Shen Yuerong frowned slightly, waiting for the emperor's next words, but she was actually confused.
What is the relationship between the Miao Saint and Chi Mu? You just said something ambiguous like that.
Then she heard the emperor's next words.
"It just so happens that the Miao Saintess is acquainted with the prince, and it is said that when we were at the border, the Saintess always came to disturb my brother, so I want Chi Mu to go."
"I'm sure my sister-in-law has no objection. I will pretend that I knew nothing about what happened yesterday and will not hold it against me."
At the end, he used what happened yesterday to threaten Shen Yuerong.
And Shen Yuerong sat there quietly, with a hint of coldness silently spreading between her brows.
The emperor's words were obviously meant to inform her rather than discuss with her.
It's just a statement made to give an explanation to the outside world, and then I'll say I agree to it.
Thinking of this, Shen Yuerong forced a smile in response.
"In fact, if my husband and I go to the border together to bring back the Miao Saint, it will naturally be a legendary event for our country."
Shen Yuerong's words made the emperor very moved.
Yes, if the prince and his wife were to go to the border to welcome them, it would not only demonstrate their great power style, but also successfully bring the saint back.
But he couldn't help but feel a little worried that Shen Yuerong would interfere.
He glanced at Shen Yuerong, and before he spoke, he heard Shen Yuerong's words.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will cooperate and bring the Saint back to you. There will be no love affair before the national event."
After hearing what Shen Yuerong said, the emperor finally heaved a sigh of relief. He waved his hand and gave Shen Yuerong many rewards, then sent someone to escort her out of the palace.
On the way out of the palace, Shen Yuerong folded her hands in front of her, her whole body drenched in coldness.
It was a bit strange that the Miao Saint lady suddenly appeared now. It would save a lot of trouble if Chi Mu and I went to greet her together. It was a good opportunity for me to test her out.
As she passed by the Imperial Garden, a white figure flashed past the rockery.
At first, she didn't take it seriously, thinking it might just be someone passing by.
But she didn't expect that the white figure kept following her, running back and forth behind her, and it looked a little crazy.
Shen Yuerong turned her head and glanced at the middle-aged woman who was still running around behind her.
His hair was disheveled but his features were delicate, but his clothes were dirty and it was obvious that no one had taken good care of him.
"Hey, come and catch me."
The middle-aged woman bared her teeth in provocation at Shen Yuerong.
And Shen Yuerong didn't want to say anything more to her, she just put a snack in her hand on the stone next to her.
"Eat something and don't bother me anymore."
She put down the snacks and turned to leave, but then she found that the white figure had been following her.
She was walking and eating snacks, but she was mumbling strange words.
"Delicious, this thing is really delicious, Doctor Shen, do you have any more?"
Hearing the three words of Doctor Shen, Shen Yuerong paused and suddenly turned back to look at the woman in front of her.
"Do you know Doctor Shen?"
The woman pointed at Shen Yuerong and grinned, "Aren't you Doctor Shen? But why are you wearing women's clothes today? They look really good, can you lend them to me too?"
Unexpectedly, she reached out to take off Shen Yuerong's clothes, which scared her and she hurriedly stopped her.
But her strength was so great that she made Shen Yuerong stagger.
The palace maid next to her noticed it and rushed out to stop the woman aside and explain to Shen Yuerong.
"Please don't be surprised, Princess. This is Concubine Li who was imprisoned in the cold palace. I don't know how she escaped."
Shen Yuerong looked at the crazy Concubine Li in front of her, her eyes flickering slightly, and she asked thoughtfully.
"She keeps calling me Doctor Shen. What's going on?"
The maid was stunned for a moment, then lowered her eyes and explained, "We don't know either. We always hear him talking about it. He must be the imperial physician from the former Imperial Hospital."
"Please forgive us, Princess, we will take her away first."
Soon, the palace maids worked together to take the crazy Concubine Li away.
Shen Yuerong stood where she was, tightly clenching the handkerchief in her hand until her knuckles turned slightly white.
Isn’t Doctor Shen her father?
She had already investigated the information of the Imperial Medical Bureau, and found that there was basically no imperial physician with the surname Shen, except for her father.
Her father’s death has always been a knot in her heart, and now it has turned into an obsession.
Since this Concubine Li knew her father, she must know something. Perhaps her madness is related to what happened back then.
Shen Yuerong stood there. The sun above her head was scorching hot, but her body felt cold.
Suddenly a figure appeared, and his broad palm held Shen Yuerong's hand, slowly conveying warmth.
Shen Yuerong came back to her senses and looked up, only to see Chi Mu standing beside her with a look of worry on his face.
"Why are you standing here?"
