I don't know how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew this, but he has the ability to predict the future.

Before entering the palace yesterday, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had instructed that if anyone came into the palace early this morning, whether it was Prince Heqin or Lu Xiaoyu, they should reveal the news that the Emperor was ill from overwork and might not live long.

Lu Li was observing all the way and did not notice anyone rushing to the palace. She originally thought that the Crown Prince was too worried, but she did not expect that she would actually meet the Prince Heqin at the palace gate.

When Mu Yunyu ran to the emperor's bedroom panting, he could hear the emperor's weak cough from inside.

Li Baoquan was guarding the door. When he saw that the visitor was Prince Heqin, he hurriedly asked, "Oh, Prince, why are you here so early in the morning?"

When the emperor heard the voice, he hesitated for a moment and wondered in his heart: This bastard, why did he come so early today? He can't be here to pay his respects specially. I've never seen him so enthusiastic before.

Mu Yunyu glanced at Li Baoquan and thought to himself that he was a rootless person who dared to ask about his affairs.

However, Mu Yunyu still pretended to be calm. After all, Eunuch Li was a eunuch who had followed his father for many years. If this old eunuch became a demon, no one knew what would happen.

"Thank you, Eunuch Li, for telling me that I sneezed twice this morning. I remembered that it was the rice planting season and the wind was a bit chilly in the morning, so I was a little concerned about my father's health. I got up an hour earlier to pay my respects to him and help him get up."

Hearing this, the emperor almost missed a step while wearing his shoes, and the servants who were serving him were so frightened that they shuddered.

Emperor: You are really worried about my health and hope that I will die soon.

Li Baoquan looked at Mu Yunyu in embarrassment, then looked at the tightly closed door: "This... Prince, you've come too early. The Emperor may not have gotten up yet. Look..."

In fact, Mu Yunyu didn't have to go in. He just wanted to go in and see how sick his father was, and whether the pot of flowers was still there to see if anyone could notice anything unusual.

Thinking of this, Mu Yunyu tentatively asked Li Baoquan: "Eunuch Li, I heard that Director Lu found a potted plant in his hometown a few days ago. The flowers are very beautiful. Father has always liked these flowers and plants. I wonder if Eunuch Li can order the servants to water them more diligently?"

It sounds like she is concerned about the emperor, but in fact it is full of temptations.

Li Baoquan was not stupid either. The Emperor and the Crown Prince attached so much importance to this pot of flowers yesterday, and the Empress and the Crown Princess came in the evening, so of course he would not let the secret slip.

"In reply to your Highness, the Emperor loves this flower very much and spends a long time admiring it every day. Naturally, we servants dare not neglect it and are all very active."

"That's good. You are an old man who has followed the emperor for many years. With you by his side, the king will feel more at ease."

As he spoke, Mu Yunyu did not forget to look towards the crack in the door, as if he wanted to see the scene inside through it.

Li Baoquan flattered with a fake smile: "Your Highness, you are really filial. You even care about the flowers and plants cultivated in the emperor's bedroom. No matter how big or small, the emperor will be very happy when he knows your filial piety."

I don’t know whether the emperor was happy or not, but Mu Yunyu was quite happy to hear this.

As the two were talking, the emperor's voice came from inside: "Who is outside?"

Mu Yunyu hurriedly bowed and greeted the inside: "Reporting to the emperor, it is your son who comes to pay his respects to you."

"Oh, it's Yu'er, come in."

The emperor sounded really sick, and his voice was weak.

Upon hearing this, Li Baoquan hurriedly opened the door for Mu Yunyu.

Mu Yunyu kept his head down all the way, observing the pot of evening primrose closely with his peripheral vision. Seeing that its position had not changed and he did not find anything unusual, he felt relieved.

When he arrived in front of the emperor, perhaps because he felt guilty, or perhaps because the emperor was leaning on the bed, looking very weak and sick, Mu Yunyu was actually frightened.

"Father...Father, are you ill?"

emperor:……

"Do you think I'm sick?" As he said this, the emperor couldn't help but cough twice to cooperate with the performance.

In fact, it's not really acting. The granddaughter of the old regent said that the medicine he took yesterday only relieved the symptoms of coughing and could not detoxify, so he was really sick.

But you know what, the medicine that girl gave him really worked. He finally slept well last night.

Mu Yunyu was stunned for a long time before he reacted, and then he knelt on the ground and shouted to the emperor.

"Father, I am so stupid that I didn't even know you were sick. I wonder if you have seen the doctor. I felt the weather was unpredictable when I woke up this morning, so I came to remind you to keep warm. I didn't expect that I was still a step too late."

emperor:……

Otherwise, it is said that his son has a talent for acting.

The emperor, despite his sick body, patted Mu Yunyu on the shoulder and said, "Okay, okay, I know how filial you are. The imperial physician said it's an old problem."

"Father is old, and his body is not as strong as you young people."

"Of course, my father will live long." Mu Yunyu didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said. Except for his heart, his whole body revealed sincerity.

emperor:……

Did he say he was dying? He just said he wasn't as strong as a young man.

What's wrong with this prince? I remember that he used to be quite smart. What's wrong with him now?

That's it.

"Since you are here, wait and follow me to Xuanzheng Palace."

As the emperor spoke, he waved his hand in a sickly manner and asked the eunuchs and palace maids to help him put on his court robes.

Mu Yunyu was still somewhat considerate and finally was willing to move over to support the emperor.

"Since your father is not feeling well, you may as well take a rest for two days. I will not attend court for these two days..."

Before he finished speaking, Mu Yunyu received a look that made him shut up immediately.

Emperor: So how can this prince compare to the crown prince, who dares to skip court at any time?

As soon as Lu Li returned home, she reported to Mu Yunchen what happened last night, in detail, from entering the palace to their discovery of the source of the strange fragrance, to Mu Peiyun's insomnia and the fact that Mu Peiyun occupied half of her bed.

It really is... every detail counts.

Mu Yunchen's brows were already furrowed, and when he heard that his Jiaojiao had actually hugged someone else and talked all night, he felt as if something was stuck in his throat, and his brows were so furrowed that they could kill a mosquito.

He looked up at Lu Li again and could only sigh that it was a good thing that Lu Li was a woman.

"Your Highness, if everything is alright, I will go down and develop the antidote first."

With these things, the successful development of the antidote is just around the corner.

As Lu Li spoke, her hand was gently stroking her medicine box, as if she was stroking a child.

But it’s no wonder, because her treasure is inside.
