Shen Yuerong glanced at Mu Lingchuan beside her, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Why do you say that, Junior Brother? I have always been like this."
She wasn’t sure whether the last time Old Man Gao died was related to Mu Lingchuan, so she just pursed her lips.
Mu Lingchuan walked to Shen Yuerong, with a smile on his face, and walked slowly, walking forward with her.
"Why put yourself in a difficult position? If you feel wronged, I can help you solve it."
Shen Yuerong glanced at Mu Lingchuan and answered calmly.
"No, it's nothing serious."
For her, being criticized was not a serious matter. The most important thing was that her parents and relatives had passed away and she could never be reunited with them again.
Not far away, Chi Mu caught up with a cloak in his hand, and when he saw the scene, his eyes darkened.
For some reason, he felt that Shen Yuerong seemed to be worried since she last met Old Man Gao, and was unwilling to tell him many things.
He paused and stood still without moving forward.
At this moment, Yue Tong's sweet and soft voice sounded.
"Brother Chi Mu, why are you standing here? Aren't you cold? It's going to snow in a few days, you have to take care of yourself."
Chi Mu just glanced at Yue Tong, quietly distanced himself from her, and spoke in a cold and distant tone.
"Thank you for your concern, Saint. My wife will pay more attention to it."
The conversation between the two immediately attracted the attention of Shen Yuerong in front. She turned around and saw Chi Mu and Yue Tong standing together and talking.
Her eyes darkened and she felt an inexplicable pain in her heart.
Does he have to exchange Chi Mu for the chance to go to the Imperial Hospital?
On the one hand, there is her beloved husband, and on the other hand, there is the innocence of her closest relatives.
She really couldn't give an answer for a moment.
This was the first time that Shen Yuerong was afraid to make a choice. Even the most sober and self-controlled person would become confused and hesitant in front of love.
But she didn't notice that Mu Lingchuan's eyes were always on her.
Then Shen Yuerong retracted her gaze, turned around and quickly walked towards the room.
As soon as she returned to her room, she fell asleep. She couldn't fall asleep no matter what she did, but she just didn't want to do anything.
Qinghua came to deliver dinner, glanced at the lowered curtain, and called out in a low voice.
"Girl, please eat something. No matter what happens, Qinghua will stand by you. What does that saint mean to you?"
Shen Yuerong's indifferent voice came from behind the curtain, "Don't talk nonsense, disaster comes from the mouth."
Seeing that Shen Yuerong was indeed not asleep, Qinghua carefully lifted the curtain and walked to the bed, sat down on the edge, and spoke softly.
"Girl, the prince's feelings for you are real, you must believe in him."
Shen Yuerong's ink-black long hair fell on the satin quilt. She tilted her head slightly, and a calm smile appeared on her porcelain-like face.
"A man's love is the most unreliable. The only one I can rely on is myself."
"What's more, Your Majesty, this is all for the sake of bringing the Saint back to the capital smoothly, for the sake of national justice and the country."
She spoke in a high-sounding manner, but she felt a piercing pain in her heart.
Shen Yuerong sat up slowly, a smile showing between her clear eyes and eyebrows.
"Don't worry about me. I'm not worried about this. I'm just too tired from the journey and want to have a good rest."
"Go and bring me some food."
Chunhua saw that Shen Yuerong had perked up and brought the fish porridge with sparkling eyes.
"This is a kind of fish that is unique to the border. The meat is fresh and tender. Come and try it, girl."
Chunhua would only call Shen Yuerong like this when the two of them were alone.
As soon as Shen Yuerong smelled the fish porridge, she felt a fishy smell coming and her stomach felt uncomfortable.
She waved her hand hurriedly and said, "Take it."
Seeing this, Chunhua hurriedly took away the fish porridge, poured a cup of warm water for Shen Yuerong, and looked at her with concern.
"Girl, what's wrong? You've been vomiting a lot lately and you're prone to sleepiness."
At that moment, Shen Yuerong seemed to have thought of something, her expression suddenly changed, and her slender fingers rested on her wrist.
In just a moment, Shen Yuerong's face suddenly turned pale, and she was in a state of confusion.
This child arrived at such an untimely moment.
She was extremely panicked and didn't know whether to tell Chi Mu about this.
If I had told him, he would probably just leave without caring about me.
But she must not leave. She must bring the saint back in exchange for the opportunity to enter the Imperial Hospital.
The things she heard from Old Man Gao kept echoing in her mind, and she felt like a mess.
Chunhua looked at the side worriedly, "Girl, what happened?"
Shen Yuerong looked at her, her eyes flickering slightly, and finally answered with a chuckle.
"It's okay, I'm just tired from the journey, so I may have eaten something inappropriate. I'll just eat something light and without fish smell."
Chunhua did not doubt her daughter's words. After all, she was a miracle doctor with superb medical skills.
Afterwards, Chunhua went out to change the white porridge for Shen Yuerong.
As soon as she left, a sarcastic voice was heard at the door.
"Didn't you say you were here to welcome our Saint back to the capital? Why don't you even want to show your face? Is this the sincerity of your palace?"
Shen Yuerong had just put on her coat, with her hair still loose, when she heard Taohua, who was guarding outside, speak coldly.
"My princess is not feeling well and is just taking a short rest. Aren't you going to let her sleep?"
Taohua looks very tough and has a long sword in her hand.
