At this moment, Mo Jingnian carried a medicine box in each hand and walked unhurriedly straight towards Fengyi Palace. Because he had been granted special permission by Mu Beichen in advance, he was able to walk smoothly from outside the palace all the way into the palace.
As soon as he entered the hall, Mo Jingnian looked up and saw Yu Qianqian kneeling on one knee from afar, her face deathly pale.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, what happened to you?" He was startled and dropped his medicine box, rushing towards Yu Qianqian. He helped her up, medicine box and all, while muttering to himself thoughtfully, "She was perfectly fine yesterday, why did her complexion suddenly become so bad?"
Yu Qianqian was helped to sit on the couch by Mo Jingnian. After her body slowly returned to normal, she thought of responding to his words. She looked out the door and sighed softly, speaking with great weight.
"I don't know either. It just started a while ago. It feels like my body has been suddenly hollowed out. It's very strange."
Mo Jingnian's gaze never left Yu Qianqian, carefully observing her complexion, which had changed from pale to clear. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Your Majesty, have you eaten anything special recently?"
"No—" Yu Qianqian blushed with embarrassment at this point, forcing a smile. "I haven't had much of an appetite lately, and I haven't eaten much. It shouldn't be food poisoning, right?"
How could she possibly admit that she had been abused by that dog of an emperor, Mu Beichen, and had barely eaten anything since yesterday? Even if someone wanted to poison her, she would need to have had the opportunity to eat, so no matter how she thought about it, there was no way she could have gotten food poisoning.
Yu Qianqian smiled slightly, forced herself to sit up straight, and extended her wrist through a layer of light gauze curtain. At this moment, her heart was pounding. If it was found that the cause of her illness was excessive hunger, where would she put her face in the future?
Hopefully, Mo Jingnian will be a little more shrewd and, even if he learns the truth, will try not to expose her to her face.
After gently pressing Yu Qianqian's pulse and hesitating for a moment, Mo Jingnian, finding nothing amiss, automatically moved on to the next topic, "Since Your Majesty's health is no longer a problem, then this humble subject will begin applying the medicine to Your Majesty."
Hearing this, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but admire Mo Jingnian's quick thinking.
However, Yu Qianqian never dreamed that her unusual condition today was just the beginning.
At this very moment, chaos reigned both inside and outside the palace. On one side, court officials were frequently petitioning for justice for their daughters, while on the other side, there were traitors and external enemies. Both sides were equally important and equally deadly, and even the slightest misstep could overturn the relationship between the emperor and his ministers.
Mu Beichen, however, remained remarkably calm. He cleverly used a counter-espionage scheme to manipulate both sides, managing to leave himself empty-handed. At the same time, he dispatched a large number of secret guards to secretly search for Su Ruan's whereabouts.
He can now handle a host of trivial matters in the court with ease, which is not surprising for him. He first learned about politics at the age of seven, experienced the hardships of life at the age of ten, and returned from Jianglan Kingdom at the age of fourteen. He was like a phoenix rising from the ashes, and his abilities improved by leaps and bounds. At the age of fourteen, he understood politics and power. At that time, he chose to keep a low profile and avoid the sharp edge of powerful ministers and generals.
Now, his wings have grown strong, and he is like a dragon soaring into the sky, rising up with astonishing force. He is the supreme ruler of the Big Dipper, holding the five continents in his palm, shining brightly among the myriad stars in the sky.
