Chen Shi (7-9 AM).
Mu Beichen hadn't slept all night, and was still regretting his failed plan the previous day.
He quietly put on a light fur coat and got out of bed. A thought popped into his mind, and he peeked outside, only to find that Ye Xiyan was still fast asleep in the outer chamber.
With a slight shift in his gaze, Mu Beichen let out a long sigh of relief, his expression filled with helplessness. He had originally been indifferent to Ye Xiyan, but because of his quarrel with Yu Qianqian yesterday, he had specifically ordered someone to spread rumors. In the end, not only did it not achieve his goal, but it also caused him some unnecessary trouble. Now, he felt increasingly regretful.
Silently approaching the window, I glanced at the quiet palace across the way, my mind a jumbled mess, unable to sort it out or see through it.
Just as I was thinking this, I suddenly heard someone outside the door banging loudly and repeatedly, shouting urgently, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Something terrible has happened!"
Hearing the unusually anxious shouts of the eunuch outside, his heart tightened, and he had a very bad premonition. He figured that unless something serious had happened, the servants would not dare to disturb his peaceful sleep at this time.
Just as she thought of this, Ye Xiyan, who had been in a half-asleep state, followed Mu Beichen straight in the same direction—to the front of the palace.
"Your Majesty..." Just as she was about to advise Mu Beichen to think things through before deciding whether to go out, she didn't expect that before she could even say these words, he didn't hesitate for a moment and quickly pushed the door open.
Ye Xiyan watched helplessly as Mu Beichen impatiently burst out of the door, and in the end, she could only swallow the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
Mu Beichen rushed out in a flurry of activity. Upon closer inspection, he saw a young eunuch kneeling in front of the door, who appeared to be from the Fengyi Palace.
Before him, the emperor, as seen by the palace servants, narrowed his dark eyes, his gaze becoming increasingly sharp and profound as he looked down at the trembling eunuch kneeling beneath his eyelids. Suddenly, he coldly shouted, "What exactly happened? Explain yourself to me!"
The young eunuch huddled in front of Mu Beichen, not daring to lift his head. He hesitated for a moment before replying, trembling, "Fengyi Palace... Her Majesty the Empress suddenly fell into a coma. I heard it seems she has been poisoned!"
"What..." Mu Beichen's indifferent expression suddenly changed, and he immediately panicked. Hearing the little eunuch's words, he didn't dare to hesitate at all. He turned around and quickly darted out of the crowd like the wind.
"flourishing!"
On his way from Luochen Palace to Fengyi Palace, his anxious and pale face was one he had never seen before. He ran forward without any regard for anything, constantly calling out Yu Qianqian's name. He almost burst into tears.
He kept telling himself, telling Yu Qianqian: Qianqian, Yu Qianqian… I regret it. I've never been able to erase you from my heart, because you occupy my entire being, leaving no room for anyone else. Yet, I hurt you in the most foolish way…
Qianqian, you absolutely cannot be hurt. Mu Beichen is willing to give up everything for you in this life. Even if I was too foolish to hurt you before, please give me a chance to make amends. From now on, I will give you my life and everything I have for the rest of my life!
