After the imperial physicians left the palace, Mu Beichen, enduring the pain, got out of bed, glanced at the guards outside the door, and asked coldly, "Where did the Empress go?"
"After the Empress left, she took her men directly to the prison."
"I heard they went to pick up Meng Fulin..."
The guards watched cautiously as Mu Beichen finished speaking. Before the words could even finish, they saw a pair of toes silently move in front of them. In just one glance, they saw the dark-skinned, demon-like man deliver a vicious kick to one of the men, striking him squarely in the chest.
The guard was immediately thrown to the ground with a thud, landing face up. He then silently got up and returned to his original kneeling position to await orders.
Mu Beichen stood silently on the ground, remaining silent with the guards for a long time. His dark eyes fell on them, growing increasingly deep, his gaze as terrifying as a demon.
"Get out of here!" he roared coldly, his face grim.
This shout immediately terrified them, and without even glancing at Mu Beichen, they scrambled away.
Mu Beichen stood with his hands on his hips, glaring at the area in front of him. The scene of their argument last night flashed through his mind, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Yu Qianqian had ruthlessly stabbed him, and he didn't care whether he lived or died. She even went to great lengths to go to the prison and personally bring Meng Fulin out. Was he not even as good as a little eunuch?
He turned around, stormed back to his room to tidy up, and soon came out to change into a set of light, plain clothes. He then ordered his servants to prepare a horse and ran out with only a few close guards.
In a fit of pique, Mu Beichen ignored her for several days. Whenever he encountered something unpleasant, he almost never forgot his good brother Mu Zixuan. So, he sent an imperial decree to the Yuwang Mansion overnight, summoning Mu Zixuan to the palace in a grand manner, just to get drunk and forget about it.
Unexpectedly, while he was shamelessly dragging others to pour out their grievances and drink alcohol, Yu Qianqian was focused on figuring out the antidote for the Gu poison and had completely forgotten about him.
Yu Qianqian lay on her side on the eaves of Fengyi Palace, holding a peony in her hand. She seemed to be gazing at it in a daze, still remembering what Su Ruan had said that day that she had been poisoned with a deadly Gu poison. Thinking about her recent condition, it seemed that apart from fainting once outside the palace that day, she had not noticed anything unusual since.
However, she was determined to eliminate this hidden danger, so she decided to find a way herself. In order to find books on antidotes to various poisons, she searched through almost every place she could think of these days.
Before leaving the palace, she had specifically sent someone to inquire. She heard that Mu Beichen had been busy drinking and having fun lately and had no time to come and see her. This made it easier for her to do what she wanted and to integrate everything into her plans.
Several thoughts raced through Yu Qianqian's mind, and she became more and more excited. She glanced down unintentionally and saw Li Chunfeng and another minister passing by near Fengyi Palace. The two were walking and talking in secret, looking very mysterious.
After thinking about it carefully, Yu Qianqian felt that it was not surprising that Li Chunfeng, as the current prime minister, could be summoned by the emperor.
So, she quickly changed her mind, peered down from the top of the eaves, and when no one was around, she quietly scurried down the wall.
