"Get up and answer!"
After a long pause, he leaned forward slightly to look, and Mu Beichen had already turned around and walked towards the seat. He took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and began to face the man in front of him.
As soon as Mu Beichen sat down, that extremely familiar face suddenly came into view, and his previously calm expression immediately turned pale with shock.
"You...who exactly are you?!" Mu Beichen stood up abruptly, staring blankly at Mo Jingnian.
Mo Jingnian unconsciously looked back and found that the other person's panicked expression was a bit strange. Especially when he thought of Yu Qianqian's expression when she saw him, which was exactly the same, he felt that something was wrong. He hesitated for a long time before he thought of replying.
"Your Majesty, my name is Mo Jingnian. Not long ago, I was practicing medicine in the northern city. However, due to some changes in my family, I had no choice but to move to the capital."
Looking straight ahead, he strode towards the center of the hall and stopped. Only then did Mu Beichen finally begin to look closely at Mo Jingnian, his eyes never leaving Mo Jingnian's face.
"Mo Jingnian? Your name is Mo Jingnian?" He stared intently at the face that was exactly the same as Hua Mancheng's, at the tall, straight figure and the flowing white robes, his face full of disbelief. "Tell me the truth, were you born looking like this?"
Mo Jingnian paused slightly, then replied in a low voice as if deep in thought, "Yes... I was born with this face."
"Speak your mind, I will not blame you." Staring intently at Mo Jingnian, his keen senses detected the other's hesitation, and he made his statement without further thought.
"Her Majesty the Empress was just as surprised as His Majesty was when she first saw me." Mo Jingnian felt reassured and relaxed. He looked at Mu Beichen and explained, "Is it because I look a lot like an old friend of yours that Your Majesty and the Empress reacted this way to a stranger?"
Hearing this, Mu Beichen felt a strange ripple in his heart. He gently brushed his sleeves and stepped back from his original spot. As he slowly sat down, he fell into deep thought. He suddenly thought of Yu Qianqian taking Mo Jingnian into the palace on her own initiative. This was the first time she had defied him without considering the consequences. A woman born into a powerful family should know the palace rules better than anyone else. But in the end, all of this was due to her obsession with feeling guilty towards Hua Mancheng.
Thinking about this, he suddenly understood Yu Qianqian's thoughts and intentions.
At this moment, Mu Beichen was still sitting on his high seat, his back leaning back, his robe spread out on the seat, filling all the seats by himself.
He glanced at the white-robed man before him, his gaze conveying an imposing presence without anger. "Mo Jingnian, I don't care what your intentions are towards the Empress. If you dare to cause trouble in this palace, I will exterminate your entire family!"
The voices were deafening, and a murderous aura filled the hall. The glittering golden walls seemed to shoot down like countless angry, fierce eyes, sending chills down one's spine.
Mo Jingnian's heart trembled violently, and he knelt down with a thud. "Your Majesty may have some misunderstanding about me. The reason I dared to enter the palace was entirely to heal the Empress's face."
After glancing at the table and the latticed window, Mu Beichen's eyes fixed on Mo Jingnian, and he exclaimed in astonishment, "You really can heal the scars on her face?"
"The scars on Her Majesty's face are common burns. With proper treatment and some rest, they will heal completely. Your Majesty, please rest assured, I have my own methods to treat Her Majesty."
