After hearing this, Xiao Duo smiled slightly, nodded and said, "In this case, I feel relieved."

He looked at Su Jinyue deeply, his eyes full of reluctance, "Jinyue, take care, wait for me to come back."

Just a few words expressed all the pain in Xiao Duo's heart.

Su Jinyue smiled and looked at him soothingly, "You too, come back safely soon."

She adjusted his collar with her own hands, feeling the warmth of the man in front of her.

Xiao Duo held her hand, exerted gentle force, then turned around and left resolutely.

Su Jinyue watched his back disappear into the night, and the worry in her heart surged like a tide.

The next day, the news quickly spread throughout the capital.

Xiao Duo, the young general of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, was urgently summoned to the palace on official business, and then immediately went to Western Xinjiang.

Not only were people in the streets talking about it, but even those in the court who were unaware of the situation began to talk about it.

"Have you heard? General Xiao was urgently summoned to the palace on the night of his wedding, and then went to Western Xinjiang. What was it about?"

"Isn't there a Crown Prince in Western Xinjiang? Could it be that something happened to the Crown Prince?"

"Shh, you and I are the only ones who can tell this?! Please don't tell me!"

At the same time, in the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, Su Jinyue sat alone in the courtyard, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.

She knew that although Xiao Duo had already gone to the Western Frontier, the potential danger inside and outside the capital had not diminished in the slightest.

Xiao Tao came over with a tea tray and said softly, "Miss, you hardly ate anything today. How can your body handle this?"

Su Jinyue raised her eyes to look at Xiao Tao, a hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes, "Don't worry, I'm fine, but the quieter the palace is, the more uneasy I feel."

She took the teacup and took a sip, but she still had no appetite to eat.

Just then, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door, accompanied by knocks on the door.

"What's the matter?" Su Jinyue stood up immediately, frowning slightly.

A servant walked in quickly and reported, "Miss, there is a man outside the door who claims to be an envoy from Xiaoyao Tower and insists on seeing you."

Su Jinyue's heart moved, and she immediately signaled the visitor to come in.

Not long after, a tall and straight man was brought in. He bowed slightly and said in a deep voice, "The owner of Xiaoyao Tower ordered me to bring a message to Miss Su."

Su Jinyue nodded and motioned for him to continue.

"The host said that the situation in Beijing is complicated, so please be careful, Miss Su. At the same time, he has sent people to strengthen Miss Su's protection to ensure your safety."

Su Jinyue understood what Mu Xuan meant. He probably meant that the Queen couldn't help herself and was about to take action.

"Got it. Please thank your landlord for me."

"Yes, I will definitely convey Miss Su's words to you."

Time passed quickly, and several days passed, but there was still no news from the palace, and no news came back from the border.

One afternoon, Su Jinyue was reading a book alone in the study.

At this moment, Xiao Tao rushed over, looking panicked, "Miss, something happened!"

Su Jinyue raised her eyes to look at him, "What happened?"

Xiao Tao said anxiously, "Someone from the palace came and reported that His Majesty suddenly fell ill and collapsed in the Yangxin Palace. He is still unconscious."

"The Queen Mother has sent you to the palace, and wants you to help His Majesty check on his condition."

The emperor is in good health, it is impossible for him to fall ill suddenly, unless...

Su Jinyue didn't care too much and told Xiaotao to prepare the carriage while she went to prepare some emergency pills!

Xiaotao nodded immediately, turned around and quickly got ready.

Su Jinyue quickly put some commonly used medicinal herbs and tools into an exquisite small bag, changed into clean and simple clothes, and prepared to enter the palace.

Soon, the carriage was waiting in front of the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.

Su Jinyue hurriedly got on the carriage, feeling vaguely uneasy. She knew that this time the palace might be in danger of death.

"Miss, do you think that His Majesty's sudden illness this time was caused by someone on purpose?" Xiao Tao asked worriedly.

"That must be the case." Su Jinyue frowned slightly. "The Queen has always been trying to strengthen her power. Now that His Majesty is in trouble, she might take the opportunity to make some moves. It's more likely..."

It is more likely that the Queen was responsible for the severity of His Majesty's illness.

Xiao Tao was worried, "Wouldn't it be dangerous for the young lady to enter the palace?"

Su Jinyue shook her head. "That's why I have to enter the palace. Your Majesty's safety is related to the stability of the entire court. I can't let the queen achieve her goal."

"Xiao Tao." Su Jinyue said to Xiao Tao, "You are the person I am most worried about right now. You should stay in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and you don't have to accompany me to the palace."

"No, Miss!" Xiao Tao said, "If Miss doesn't let Xiao Tao follow you this time, Xiao Tao will definitely not get off the carriage!"

Xiao Tao looked anxious, "Miss, please let this servant follow you into the palace!"

Su Jinyue couldn't persuade Xiaotao, so she could only sigh and said, "Xiaotao, remember, if anything goes wrong after entering the palace, you must hide first and don't let them catch you."

"But Miss..."

Su Jinyue shook her head. "Don't worry about me. I am still useful to them."

"If they catch you and can use you to threaten me, that's not what I want to see."

Xiao Tao nodded, "Don't worry, Miss. Xiao Tao will definitely not hold you back!"

"Um!"

The carriage galloped all the way and finally arrived at the palace gate.

Su Jinyue was helped into the palace by Xiaotao and was soon led to the outside of the Yangxin Palace.

The Queen Mother had been waiting in front of the palace for a long time. When she saw Su Jinyue, she looked anxious, "Jinyue girl, you are finally here. The Emperor's condition is urgent and severe. We have to rely on you."

The queen watched from the side, her eyes fixed on Su Jinyue but she said nothing.

Su Jinyue immediately responded: "Please rest assured, Queen Mother, I will do my best."

She said no more and walked straight into the inner hall.

The emperor was seen lying on the dragon couch, his face pale and his breathing weak.

The imperial doctors gathered around the bed, all with serious expressions but helpless.

Su Jinyue went forward to check the patient's condition, and after taking his pulse carefully, she had an idea in mind.

She took out several medicinal herbs from the medicine box, crushed them quickly, and fed them to the emperor personally.

Suddenly, the emperor's fingers moved slightly, and then he slowly opened his eyes.

"The emperor has woken up!" Voices of surprise and relief were heard in the palace.

Su Jinyue said: "Your Majesty is in very poor health, and it is not suitable for many people to guard him now."

At this time, the Queen Mother also came in. Seeing that the emperor had woken up, she finally let go of her worries and held his hand lovingly. "I will order people to guard the emperor. Miss Jin Yue really needs you to enter the palace."

The Queen said, "Don't worry, mother. Your daughter-in-law will have someone stay by your side day and night. Your Majesty will be fine."

The Queen Mother nodded, and then said to Su Jinyue: "Girl, follow me to my palace."
