Lu Wei explained, "He knows very well that since I asked him to treat the Empress Dowager, His Majesty will definitely find out. It's only a matter of time before he is invited to the palace for treatment. Today, Tianzhao Kingdom is the most powerful of the four great kingdoms. No matter how high the status of his Divine Physician Sect is in Xuanzhou Continent, he would not dare to offend the Emperor of Tianzhao Kingdom. His consideration time is probably just preparation."
Mu Yazhi was overjoyed, her excitement and joy barely concealed in her eyes. "That would be wonderful! Once I bring Doctor Li into the palace and heals the Empress Dowager, wouldn't I be a great contributor to saving her?"
She never imagined that the lie she made up on the spot would become an opportunity for her to receive a favor.
It's like God is on her side.
Once she is rewarded by His Majesty for her meritorious service in saving the Empress Dowager, this immense favor will be her strongest get-out-of-jail-free card.
Why should she ever have to be inferior to Mu Chenshuang again?
The more she thought about it, the more arrogant Mu Yazhi's eyes became.
Lu Wei reached out and patted her hand, "This time, even God is helping you. This is your destined glory. You must seize this opportunity and perform well in front of the Empress Dowager. If you win the Empress Dowager's favor, you won't have to worry about not finding a good husband for the royal family in the future."
Although she currently controls the Marquis's mansion, she has not yet been officially recognized as the principal wife. If she were to marry into the royal family, she would not be qualified to be the principal wife unless the other party truly loves Ya'er to the point of being willing to fight for her and make an exception for her.
However, with the support and rewards of the Empress Dowager, marrying into the royal family as the principal wife would not be a problem at all.
The image of the carefree prince instantly flashed into Mu Yazhi's mind, and she began to fantasize, a happy smile involuntarily curving her lips.
Lu Wei immediately saw what she was thinking. "If you really want to gain the attention of the Prince of Xiaoyao, this is a great opportunity, so seize it. Your mother will definitely plan well for you."
Mu Yazhi hummed in agreement, then clung to Lu Wei's arm and said coquettishly, "Mother is still the best to me. But Mother, that shameless Mu Chenshuang is seducing Crown Prince Junheng. Do you think Crown Prince Junheng might actually fall for her?"
This is also a problem that she is very worried about.
"You don't need to worry about that. Although there is a marriage alliance between the two countries, and Crown Prince Junheng is His Majesty's nephew, he is ultimately not a citizen of Tianzhao Kingdom. Although the two countries are on the surface harmonious, there are always frictions and rivalries behind the scenes. Do you think His Majesty would allow a marquis who holds military power to marry his daughter to another country?"
Hearing Lu Wei's explanation, Mu Yazhi breathed a sigh of relief. "Mother, you really know a lot."
Such matters were classified as confidential matters of the imperial court, and it was difficult for women to know about them.
Lu smiled but remained silent, offering no further explanation.
Back at the Marquis's residence.
They happened to run into Mu Chenshuang, who was about to leave.
Upon seeing her, Mu Yazhi subconsciously raised her chin, her eyes arrogant and her tone contemptuous, "Sister, are you preparing to go to Yaoguang Residence again?"
Looking at Mu Yazhi's radiant and arrogant demeanor, Mu Chenshuang would have thought that she had accomplished something great and was waiting for people to come and admire her.
Mu Chenshuang knew perfectly well what she was thinking. To put it bluntly, Mu Yazhi was like a peacock with its tail feathers spread wide, indulging in wishful thinking.
"You don't even bow to me? Who gave you the audacity to question where I'm going?"
Mu Yazhi was not displeased by Mu Chengshuang's arrogance; on the contrary, she felt an indescribable pleasure. Mu Chengshuang was currently smug and arrogant, but once she had rendered meritorious service in treating the Empress Dowager and received a reward from the Emperor, Mu Chengshuang would be in a very sorry state.
"Sister, I'm just concerned about you. Why are you being so rude to me? You're divorced now and an unmarried woman. It's shameless of you to keep going to the place where an unmarried man lives. Don't tarnish Father's and the Marquis's family's reputation."
Mu Yazhi made no attempt to humiliate him.
The words had barely left his mouth.
Snap!
