Jiang Muyu saw that his thin lips were slightly parted, as if he was saying something. She moved closer and heard his low voice: "Cold... so cold..."

She raised her hand and touched his forehead, but it burned so much that she immediately retracted her hand.

"Yun Xuan, Yun Xuan!"

She had only called out twice when Yun Xuan pushed the door open and walked in quickly, "Madam, what happened?"

"The prince has a fever."

Yun Xuan hurried forward to check, felt the pulse, and said, "Your Highness's current condition is within our expectations. I will call Doctor Wu Yu over."

"Go quickly."

Yun Xuan left the room, and soon he came back carrying Doctor Wu Yu, who had not yet come out of his dream. The old man staggered and kept saying, "Slow down, slow down..."

Jiang Muyu said, "I don't want to disturb your sweet dreams, but this is extremely urgent, Doctor Wu Yu."

"Don't worry, Princess."

Doctor Wu Yu had just heard Yun Xuan say that the prince had a fever. He was sleeping with his clothes on when someone suddenly pulled him up from the bed and came over with a medicine box.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes, sat on the small stool in front of the bed, took out a dark brown pill from the medicine box, told Yun Xuan to pour a bowl of warm water, put the pill in, and the pill melted after being stirred in the water.

Jiang Muyu struggled to help Liang Qingchen up, let him lean on him, then took the bowl of medicine and fed him personally.

Fortunately, although he was unconscious, he was still able to swallow the medicine, but he drank it slowly, and a lot of it flowed down the corners of his lips onto his collar.

Yun Xuan came over with a handkerchief and wiped it.

After taking a bowl of medicine, Doctor Wu Yu said, "This medicine can help your prince to reduce the fever. I will prescribe some more medicine to reduce the inflammation of the wound."

"Okay, Dr. Wu Yu is here."

Yun Xuan followed Doctor Wu Yu to get a prescription, while Jiang Muyu continued to stay by his side.

She put Liang Qingchen back on the bed and wrapped him tightly with the quilt to prevent any wind from leaking in. Then she held his hand and leaned against the bedpost.

After a night of running around, sitting in a carriage for two hours, and taking care of him non-stop, Jiang Muyu felt extremely tired and sore all over when he relaxed, but he was not sleepy at all.

She stared at Liang Qingchen's face.

This man is so handsome, and his frail condition makes him even more pitiful. His already fair skin becomes even paler, his lips are also white, his eyes are closed, his brows are slightly wrinkled, but his cheeks are flushed due to the fever, like a fragile porcelain doll.

Jiang Muyu stretched out her free hand and gently stroked his brow, "You are such a handsome guy, why do you frown all day long?"

The other party seemed to sense something and gradually relaxed his brows.

"So good."

Jiang Muyu felt that he was much more obedient when he was asleep than when he was awake. Looking at his face again, she felt that it was pleasing to the eyes and her mood improved a lot.

The sky outside was beginning to turn pale; the summer sun always rose a little earlier.

Xu Lang got up early and came to Qingyu Courtyard to pay his respects, but Yun Xuan told him that the princess had not woken up yet, so he had to wait outside the door.

About an hour later, there was some movement inside. Yun Xuan went in with a wash basin and came out soon after, saying to him, "The Queen wants you to come in."

"Okay." Xu Lang quickly got up from the ground, patted the dust off his butt, stepped over the threshold and walked into the house.

Jiang Muyu had just finished washing up. She took off all her hair accessories, leaving her long, dark hair hanging behind her. She hadn't slept much all night, and her face looked a little haggard, but she was in good spirits.

"Please sit down." Jiang Muyu said.

How could Xu Lang dare to sit? He said awkwardly, "Your subordinate does not need to sit."

"It's okay. I have something to ask you." Jiang Muyu sat down on the chair and motioned him to sit opposite her.

Xu Lang couldn't refuse, so he could only sit down obediently. However, he didn't dare to sit too long, just enough to cushion his butt.

"What does your Majesty want to ask me?"

Jiang Muyu smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. I just want to ask you how did you get injured?"

Xu Lang said, "I am only responsible for the support. The prince did not allow me to accompany him. I do not know how he was injured. I only know that the prince came to save Princess Rong An."

"Princess Rong'an?" Jiang Muyu frowned, "Does this kind of thing really require the prince to go in person?"

"Originally, the prince shouldn't have been allowed to go, but the Queen Mother..." He paused here.

Jiang Muyu understood that the Queen Mother had always treated Princess Rong'an as her own daughter. This time when Princess Rong'an went missing, the Queen Mother was extremely anxious and naturally could not trust anyone else.

"The prince is her own son, how could the queen mother have the heart to let him take risks?"

"This..." Xu Lang pursed his lips, "I don't know."

Jiang Muyu sighed. Now that things had come to this, she couldn't blame the Queen Mother, so she asked, "Has Princess Rong An been rescued?"

"The person was rescued, but... not in good condition."

"Princess Rong An was also seriously injured?"

"Well... the princess's innocence is gone."

This was unexpected. Jiang Muyu drank some water to suppress his surprise. "How many people knew about this?"

Xu Lang said: "The emperor has blocked the news, so only a few people know about it."

"Have you found out who did it?"

"We found out it was Qinggui."

"Uh..." Jiang Muyu searched in his mind and confirmed that the original owner did not know this person, "Who is Qing Guiren?"

"Ren Qinggui is the emperor's concubine."

Jiang Muyu: “…”

What kind of nonsense are you talking about?

Xu Lang also realized that what he said was a bit redundant. He shook his head and said naively, "According to the information found by the prince, Noble Qing was pregnant with a dragon seed before, but Princess Rong An accidentally caused the miscarriage."

I-it turns out to be a traditional palace fight.

"This Qing Guiren is also vindictive. Does the emperor know about this?"

"I know, but there is not enough evidence to convict her. Qing Guiren's father is the Minister of the Supreme Court, and the emperor has to weigh the pros and cons."

"Her father is Sun Chou, so that's really tricky."

Jiang Muyu looked back at Sun Chou. Although they had not met much, she could tell that he was a smart man with a certain pride. Although he seemed respectful to her, it was only because of her status.

Jiang Muyu took another sip of water and said, "This matter should not have been ours to interfere with, but their grievances have implicated the prince and caused him to suffer such serious injuries. If we don't seek revenge, wouldn't it make us look like we are easy to bully?"

Xu Lang nodded, "Your Majesty is right. We can't let the prince get hurt in vain."

Jiang Muyu leaned back and said, "I haven't been to the palace for a long time. Tomorrow is the time to go and see my mother-in-law, the Queen Mother."

"Should your subordinates help deliver the invitation?"

"Well, go ahead."

After Xu Lang left, Yun Xuan came in with breakfast, "Your Majesty, are you going to the palace?"

"Um."

"Though the palace appears calm on the surface, there are actually turbulent situations inside. Your Majesty should be more cautious, especially Consort De."

Thanks to Yunxuan's reminder, she remembered that the original owner and Defei had some conflicts. This matter can be traced back to many years ago, when the original owner, Liu Cuifu and Defei, who had not yet entered the palace, were close friends.

The concubine De's daughter was named Wei Zelan. She was the legitimate daughter of the Wuchang Marquisate. She was one year older than her and had been friends with the original owner since childhood.

When she first fell in love, Wei Zelan fell in love with Jiang Muyu's elder brother Jiang Chenyi, and asked Jiang Muyu to help her to match them up. However, at that time, the wife of Marquis Jing'an had already arranged a marriage between her elder brother and Dong, but she did not tell Wei Zelan, which resulted in a big joke for her.

Wei Zelan's confession was rejected, and she began to bear a grudge against Jiang Muyu. In grief and anger, she agreed to enter the palace as a concubine of the Marquis of Wuchang.

She was a hardworking person. Not long after she gained the emperor's favor, she gave birth to the fifth prince. Later, she gave birth to another son and a daughter. She climbed up the ranks to become a concubine and consolidated her position in the harem.

Jiang Muyu raised his forehead again. Why did the original owner offend Concubine De when she could have offended anyone else? She was a vicious woman who could be compared to Concubine Jiagui in the TV series "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace".

Moreover, her mother-in-law, the Queen Mother, was not an easy person to get along with. The original owner had never been treated well by the palace during all those years she had been there.

Oh my god! Before she even entered the palace, she had already imagined the bloody storm that would be like a Shura field.

She was still worried when Nanxing came over with Tangtang.

She immediately put on a smile and said, "Tangtang is here. I'm just about to have breakfast. Come and have breakfast with me."

"Mom." Tangtang came over and hugged her legs, looking up and said, "Daddy, won't you eat with us?"

"Ah... Daddy went to court and will be back later."

"I haven't seen Daddy for several days." Tangtang rubbed her legs unhappily.
