On this day, Mu Chenshuang was providing free medical consultations at the clinic. In addition to treating a patient with a severed finger and some minor ailments, she also treated a patient who had developed a large belly after eating Guanyin clay.
In just one day, Mu Chenshuang's reputation as a divine healer spread throughout the entire capital.
The atmosphere in the pavilion of Wanyue Lake was somber and somewhat oppressive.
Mu Chunxi lowered her eyes, not daring to look up. She truthfully reported to Feng Moran about Mu Chenshuang's treatment of the patient with the severed finger that day.
Feng Mo Ran pondered for a long time, remaining silent without speaking.
After a moment, he chuckled softly, raising his narrow, effeminate eyes. "Interesting. Keep an eye on her and see who she has saved."
Three days later, news of Mu Chenshuang's free medical consultations in the capital spread not only among the common people but also within the imperial court.
Immediately, the ministers began to discuss it amongst themselves.
Although the current emperor, Feng Guche, still neglects state affairs, he at least attends court every three days and has learned from the inspector of the Chengtianjian that Mu Chenshuang is conducting free medical consultations in the capital.
After Zhu Qin finished reporting the matter, Feng Guche, who was naturally suspicious, did not say anything, but it was obvious that he was somewhat displeased.
Zhu Qin, trying to discern the emperor's intentions, observed the emperor's expressions and dared not make any rash judgments.
Just as Zhu Qin was pondering for a long time and preparing to say something, Feng Guche suddenly spoke up.
"Zhu Qin, you may leave now." After Zhu Qin left, Feng Gu Che ordered someone to summon Crown Prince Feng Xi Lan for an audience.
Soon Feng Xilan arrived at the main hall, where she saw Feng Guche with a serious expression, seemingly somewhat displeased.
Feng Xilan hurriedly bowed and greeted the emperor with trepidation. While keeping his head down and eyes obedient, he carefully recalled how he had been diligent in handling political affairs these past few days, no longer as muddle-headed as before. However, looking at his father, the emperor, who seemed to be high above him, he still appeared to be very dissatisfied with him.
Feeling depressed and confused, Feng Xilan couldn't understand where she had fallen short.
Thinking this to herself, Feng Xilan dared not ask rashly, and lowered her head, waiting for Feng Guche to speak.
"How is your Consort Xiao now?" Feng Guche's cold questioning voice rang out, and Feng Xilan couldn't help but tremble, feeling a chill in her heart.
After hesitating for a moment, Feng Xilan could only say, "Keep her in the Cold Palace for now, and spare her life."
Trembling with fear, Feng Xilan dared not raise his head, for he had been utterly foolish in his dealings with Xiao Qingyu.
First, she was so infatuated with Xiao Qingyu that she divorced Mu Chenshuang. Only after realizing that she had lost her love did she discover that she had been poisoned by Xiao Qingyu and was being manipulated by her.
Now that Xiao Qingyu's true colors have been exposed, he has not only lost his beloved forever, but also has no chance with Mu Chenshuang anymore. In Feng Guche's eyes, he has almost lost his qualification as crown prince.
Feng Xilan was well aware of all this, so when Feng Guche asked him, he felt extremely uneasy, fearing that Feng Guche would depose him from his position as crown prince.
However, Feng Guche did not seem to have any intention of deposing him as crown prince for the time being. He just snorted and said, "You really did marry a good concubine."
"You originally wanted to be the Crown Princess, but now she's become a renowned physician praised throughout the land. And what about you?"
Feng Guche's disappointed and cold words weighed heavily on Feng Xilan's heart, making him unable to lift his head.
Feng Xilan felt a cold sweat break out on her back, but when she thought of Mu Chenshuang, she felt heartache and regret, and regretted her past actions.
