Song Heng hadn't come to see me since our last conversation, and I was able to rest and recuperate in the courtyard. Song Rushuang, on the other hand, would ask Dr. Jiang what I could and couldn't eat, and would ask him to wait for her in the courtyard if he arrived early.
The spring breeze was warm and the orioles were singing melodiously. After they met, they had a good chat. I sat on the other side of the yard, flipping through storybooks and practicing calligraphy, and I felt a sense of peace and tranquility.
But in fact, I still haven't forgotten my plan to escape two years later, and I'm planning how to take the next step in the female supporting role's story, whether it's about myself or the Mu family.
One day, before the princess arrived, I started chatting with Doctor Jiang after he took my pulse: "Doctor Jiang usually hangs out outside the palace?"
"Of course. I used to travel around the world with my master, and I can't change my wanderlust."
"Oh, I really envy you. I have very few opportunities to leave the palace, and when I feel bored, I can only squat there obediently."
He smiled softly: "There are actually many interesting places in the palace. It would be nice to stroll around the palace when Mu Meiren gets better."
"That's better when I feel better!" I said with a sad face, "Doctor Jiang, can you bring me some storybooks when you go out of the palace? I'm really bored to death."
"So, Miss Mu wants a storybook." He continued with a smile, "Of course, what kind of storybook is Miss Mu interested in?"
"Hmm... whatever." I propped up my chin. "Just something light and funny, anything that can lighten my mood and amuse me."
"Okay." He nodded at me. Ru Shuang came just in time, and I naturally sat on the marble stool in the corner with my old storybook in my arms, discussing the self-cultivation of a light bulb.
The next day, he really did bring me several beautiful storybooks, some of which were even illustrated with vivid illustrations, which I was very pleased with. I held the storybooks in my hands and thanked him, "Doctor Jiang is truly a beautiful and kind person... Pah, beautiful and kind-hearted!"
"Miss Mu is joking." As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Cui ran in excitedly: "My lady, Master Mu has entered the palace and is waiting for you in the Imperial Garden."
I hurried to the Imperial Garden with Xiao Tao. On the way, I thought about how Mu Chenfeng had been framed last time. Although he was not thrown into jail, he was just a seventh-rank official. This time he came to see me probably because I was poisoned and the emperor allowed him to see me.
"Sister!" In the book, Mu Chenfeng is only 21 years old. He looks very handsome in the azure blue robe. In the book, he likes to be clever and self-righteous. He is often caught or framed by others, which always makes his father so angry that he wants to beat him with a broom.
"My parents were very worried when they heard that you were accidentally poisoned, so they asked me to come and see you." He held my shoulders, his face full of worry.
"I'm fine." I deliberately kept a cold face, insisting that he learn a lesson. "If I have any problems, it's because I miss you!"
"ah?"
"Brother, the reason why I accidentally got poisoned after drinking the syrup was because I was too worried about you after hearing that you were taken to jail!" I curled my lips. The book said that the two siblings loved to drink syrup when they were young, but Mu Chenfeng would always give his syrup to his sister after Mu Chenshuang acted like a naughty child.
"Since I couldn't see anyone, I thought I'd drink some syrup to feel better, but I fainted from the pain!" I deliberately turned to the side: "Brother, can you take care of yourself? Besides our parents, I, your younger sister, am worried about you!"
Seeing me like this, he was a little bit at a loss: "Alas, it's because of me. It's my fault. I won't be deceived again next time."
"There won't be a next time!" At this moment, I portrayed Mu Chenshuang's spoiled and arrogant personality to the fullest: "Brother, do you really understand what you will do in the future?"
"I understand, I understand!" He said like a child who had done something wrong: "Dad actually talked to me about this time, and I have reflected on it. Now I know that you were poisoned because of me, sister, so I will not do anything rash!"
That was about enough. Mu Chenfeng wasn't a bad brain, but his mind was always crooked. Using his sister-con nature to control him shouldn't go too far. I turned around and said reluctantly, "Don't lie to me."
He smiled relaxedly when he saw me turn around, and we started chatting about our childhood and family matters. I knew that my parents were not worried about my brother and me doing anything wrong at this time, so our family was naturally harmonious now.
The sun was setting in the west. After saying goodbye to Mu Chenfeng, I walked back to the palace along the gravel road. Unexpectedly, after walking for a while, I saw Song Heng, dressed in a moon-white robe, walking side by side with another young man, seemingly chatting. I was about to turn away when the young man met my gaze and said jokingly, "Royal brother, it seems we can't continue chatting today!"
Imperial brother? I vaguely remember that after Song Heng ascended the throne, most of his brothers left for their fiefdoms, leaving only his younger brother, Song Yu, in the palace. The two had a very good relationship, and there was no fratricide, as is common in imperial families.
Song Heng followed his gaze, so I had no choice but to greet him, "Your Majesty, long live the emperor." Song Yu, however, was free to ask directly, "Is Lady Mu feeling dizzy, sprained her ankle, or has a stomachache?"
I almost stumbled. The original owner's suicidal methods were indeed "famous." I met him with a look of anticipation: "Prince Yu, you're joking. I'm in good health, so there's no need to worry about me."
He was a little surprised, and I immediately turned to the emperor and bowed: "Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first." Song Heng nodded slightly, and I took Xiao Cui and slipped away quickly.
Behind him, he could hear Song Yu sighing, "I've never seen anything like this before," "Royal brother, did the sun set in the east today? Or am I just playing tricks on me?"
Song Heng said calmly: "Your eyes are blurry."
