Just as Shen Yuerong was immersed in extreme pain, a figure walked over from the end of the corridor.
The other party reached out and supported Shen Yuerong, asking with concern.
"Are you okay?"
Shen Yuerong raised her eyes, as if she couldn't see clearly what was in front of her, and everything seemed to be spinning.
She fainted immediately.
The other party caught Shen Yuerong steadily, and a trace of worry appeared on his handsome face.
"It's been so long since we last met, and you look so miserable when we meet again. How can I feel at ease?"
Not far away, Chi Mu appeared carrying something, and saw the man in blue in front of him holding Shen Yuerong in his arms.
His eyes darkened, and after he strode closer, he directly snatched Shen Yuerong away.
"Thank you for your help, sir. This is my princess, so please don't worry about her."
The young man in blue bowed politely to Chi Mu, but his eyes were full of provocation.
"So this is the prince. I'm Mu Lingchuan, Miss Shen's junior fellow apprentice."
Chi Mu was stunned for a moment. He had never heard Shen Yuerong mention that she had a junior brother.
But he didn't say much, just nodded faintly to the other party, turned around and left with Shen Yuerong in his arms.
After Chi Mu returned to the room and put Shen Yuerong down, he gave a light instruction to his men beside him.
"Go investigate Mu Lingchuan's identity and why he is in the palace?"
The subordinate immediately agreed and turned to investigate.
The answer came quickly.
It turned out that Mu Lingchuan came to take Concubine Xi's pulse.
He had just won the favor of the Empress Dowager some time ago and was a doctor who had just joined the Imperial Medical Bureau.
When the Queen Mother learned that Concubine Xi was ill, she sent him here out of concern.
Chi Mu frowned slightly, feeling vaguely uneasy.
The other party's attitude is obviously not friendly.
At this time, Shen Yuerong slowly woke up, stretched out her hand to hold the bed, her face still a little pale.
"Husband."
She called out, and Chi Mu came back to his senses and asked anxiously.
"You fainted just now. It was really frightening. I have sent someone to call a doctor."
Shen Yuerong forced a smile, checked her own pulse, and then explained with a smile.
"It's nothing serious, I'm just angry."
Chi Mu immediately understood that the reason why Shen Yuerong fainted was probably because she learned something from her mother.
His deep eyes were full of concern as he stared at Shen Yuerong.
"Can you tell me?"
Shen Yuerong pursed her red lips, lowered her eyes and sat there, falling into silence.
She didn't know whether she should tell Chi Mu about this matter. After all, this incident happened in the palace.
Chi Mu can be considered a member of the royal family to some extent.
Then she heard Chi Mu's next words.
"It's okay if you don't want to tell me. I'll wait for the day when you figure it out. But if you tell me, it will probably help your investigation."
"And I will do my best to help you investigate, because your business is my business, and we are husband and wife, sharing the same honor and disgrace."
Shen Yuerong suddenly raised her eyes and met Chi Mu's deep eyes, which seemed to contain captivating hooks.
She was stunned for a moment, but finally chose to hide it.
After all, she had only heard about this matter from others and had no definite evidence.
If she told Chi Mu rashly, she would alert the enemy. She just wanted to investigate it slowly on her own.
Shen Yuerong shook her head and forced a smile.
"It's okay. I can handle it myself and won't trouble you."
Chi Mu frowned slightly, obviously unhappy.
"Do you think I'm someone who would find you troublesome?"
Seeing this, Shen Yuerong hurriedly added: "Don't get me wrong, I just think this matter has not been confirmed yet, I want to verify it from many aspects before telling you, okay?"
Chi Mu grabbed Shen Yuerong's hand and spoke solemnly.
"I'm not angry, but I feel sorry for you. Facing these things, I want to protect you from all the wind and rain, but I can't always protect you behind me."
Shen Yuerong smiled gently, her eyes curved into crescents.
"When I get into trouble, I still need your help to clean up the mess."
After hearing what she said, Chi Mu also laughed out loud.
"I am willing to do so."
At this time, Taohua reported at the door: "Prince, Princess, someone wants to see you."
Chi Mu suddenly felt something was wrong, and saw a green figure standing at the gate of the courtyard, smiling at him gently.
He called softly.
"Senior sister."
Mu Lingchuan seemed harmless, but Chi Mu could sense a sense of crisis.
But he was too late to stop her, Shen Yuerong had already seen Mu Lingchuan, and a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.
"Junior brother, why are you here?"
Mu Lingchuan then walked into the courtyard, stood at the door of the room, and bowed solemnly to Shen Yuerong.
"Please forgive me, Senior Sister. I have been traveling around the border these years, fighting to save the people living there. I am homeless."
“So I haven’t heard from you.”
Shen Yuerong smiled softly and replied: "It doesn't matter as long as you return safely. Wherever you live now, why not..."
Before she finished speaking, Chi Mu spoke first.
"Why not live next door? I happen to have a yard there."
"Although it's not big, it's quiet and no one disturbs you. Rong'er, Junior Brother is old enough now. He should have his own life."
There was some hidden meaning in his words, as if he was saying that Mu Lingchuan might have a mistress in his mansion.
Shen Yuerong also understood and realized something was wrong. She was indeed immersed in the joy of seeing her junior brother.
"In that case, please move next door, Junior Brother. If you have anything, you can come to the palace to find me."
Mu Lingchuan walked forward, his expression suddenly serious, and he spoke slowly.
"Senior Sister, I actually found some clues when I returned to Beijing this time. I think they are very useful to you. They are about our former master."
When he mentioned the word "master", Shen Yuerong's eyelashes trembled violently.
Because the master he was talking about was Shen Yuerong's father, Shen Songbai.
That existence, as upright and upright as pine and cypress, was eventually sacrificed in a palace infighting.
But Shen Yuerong couldn't find any clues, as if everything had been wiped out.
At this moment, Mu Lingchuan said that he had a clue, so Shen Yuerong naturally wanted to know it urgently.
But Mu Lingchuan's eyes fell on Chi Mu and he couldn't help but remind him.
"My Lord, would you please leave for a while?"
Chi Mu sat upright beside the bed, his hand on Shen Yuerong's side, looking at her tenderly.
"Then I will withdraw?"
He was about to stand up when Shen Yuerong grabbed him and spoke with a chuckle.
"You don't have to leave. We are husband and wife now. There is nothing we can't listen to."
How could Shen Yuerong not see through the little thoughts in Chi Mu's eyes, and a hint of teasing appeared at the corner of her mouth.
The moment the two looked at each other, Chi Mu's ears turned red, and he knew that he couldn't hide it from Shen Yuerong.
Chi Mu sat down, and Shen Yuerong looked at Mu Lingchuan next to him.
"Junior brother, just tell me what you have to say, it's okay."
