Fu Yunchen sat under the lamp reading a book.
Qiao Dongzi, who was serving him, asked, "Boss, is this page difficult to read? Why haven't you turned to it yet?"
Fu Yunchen: "...Get out."
"Oh." Qiao Dongzi went out.
As soon as I stepped outside, I saw a slender figure enter the courtyard.
Qiao Dongzi instantly understood why his boss had stopped reading; it turned out his true intentions had already been revealed.
"Why are you here so late, Hua Ling? Go back quickly, I'll take care of you here."
"If you can handle the adults, I'll definitely leave." Mu Run looked at the profile of someone cast on the window. The person was handsome, and even the shadow was beautiful.
"That's definitely not going to work. Let's go in quickly. The guy inside has been reading for ages, and he's only been staring at one page." Qiao Dongzi chuckled at Mu Run.
Mu Run felt a chill run down her spine. "...Maybe I should go back."
"Just kidding, go in and serve them." Qiao Dongzi closed the courtyard gate and left.
Mu Run took a deep breath and pushed open the door to enter the room.
This was her first time entering Mu Run's bedroom; she usually went to his study to find him.
It wasn't as luxurious as I had imagined; it looked very simple and unpretentious, with only the essentials placed there. There wasn't even a painting hanging, and the tables and chairs all exuded a rustic charm.
Are you going to court tomorrow morning?
"go."
"How is His Majesty's health? What illness does he have?"
“Poisoning. Although I cured him, he is already at his last gasp, and his life will take at most three months, or as short as one month.” Fu Yunchen put the book away and stood up from his chair.
His tall figure instantly loomed over Mu Run. "It's time to rest."
Mu Run's face flushed crimson. "I'll help you change your clothes."
Fu Yunchen: "...No need, I can do it myself. You go to bed and lie down first."
Mu Run lowered her head and entered the inner room, where she saw an ordinary wooden bed without a bed curtain.
Why isn't there a bed curtain?
"Do you need it? I'll have someone install it tomorrow."
"It's not that it's necessary. It's just that it's better to sleep with a bed curtain." Mu Run said, taking off her shoes, climbing into bed, and then taking off her clothes.
Fu Yunchen watched her undress.
Feeling stared at, Mu Run found it hard to continue untying her belt...
"Didn't you get enough of the scenery at the resort?"
"without."
"...I was so surprised to see you again after six years. I thought you had become more mature and composed, but it turned out to be all an act. Even at a time like this, you're still lecherous and the same big bad guy."
"Since you've already called me a bad guy, I should do something to avoid being scolded for nothing."
In a few quick movements, Fu Yunchen took off his clothes and pounced on the enemy with the ferocity of a hungry tiger.
*********
The Imperial Palace, Tai'an Hall.
Consort Meng knelt before the dragon bed, weeping bitterly with tears streaming down her face.
The Empress Dowager has white hair and a youthful face. If it weren't for her snow-white hair, which adds to her age, one would not guess that she is over seventy years old just by looking at her skin and face; she looks more like she is in her thirties or forties.
The Empress Dowager looked coldly at Lady Meng, "My son dotes on you the most. If anything goes wrong with him, you should go with him."
Upon hearing this, Lady Meng was greatly alarmed and immediately scrambled to her knees before the Empress Dowager, pleading, "Please spare my life, Mother! Please spare my life! I gave birth to Princess Xiaoyu for Your Majesty; even if I have not rendered meritorious service, I have still endured hardship."
"Is Princess Xiaoyu your daughter? How dare you say that?" The Empress Dowager kicked Meng Shi hard, sending her flying to the side.
Meng was kicked in the nose, and bright red blood flowed down, dripping onto the white jade brick surface, making it even more glaring.
