Master's Chief Disciple

The maid bowed and responded, then left in a hurry for fear of being convicted. About a quarter of an hour later, he sorted out all the memorials and set off for Youxiang Palace.

"Your servant pays respect to His Majesty."

"How is she?"

The maidservant stepped out and bowed her head and said, "Your Majesty, the queen is still recovering in the medicine pool and has not seen any improvement."

After saying this, Lin Gui came in with a group of people carrying several boxes of medicinal herbs. "Your Majesty, I have prepared all the herbs you requested."

After he nodded, several people carried the herbs in. Song Yunmo did not intend to go in to see her, but instead gave instructions to the maid.

"Doctor Yuan will come here to see her tomorrow at Chenshi time."

After leaving behind a few cold words, he was about to leave when Chu Mengyan's very weak voice rang out from the inner room.

"Since Your Majesty has come to my residence, why don't you come in and see me?"

"I have something else to deal with so I won't go in."

As she finished speaking, she cried sadly, "In this case, I will respectfully send His Majesty off."

"Shuang'er, come in and help me down."

After the words fell, the maid responded and walked in, but suddenly there was a scream and a sound of slipping.

Several maids walked in one after another after hearing the noise. The first maid saw her master accidentally fall to the ground and screamed in pain.

Shuang'er didn't know what to do when she saw the other sisters coming in, so she immediately ran out to find Song Yunmo who was about to leave, "Your Majesty, I dare to ask Your Majesty to go and see the master."

"How dare you! Didn't His Majesty just say that a doctor would come to treat you tomorrow?"

The maid lowered her head and was frightened by Lin Gui's tone. She apologized repeatedly and stepped back. The maid in the inner room came out and reported in a panic that Chu Mengyan had fainted and was breathing very weakly.

Song Yunmo hesitated for a moment but did not go in. Instead, he sat on a stone bench nearby. "Lin Gui, go and invite the imperial concubine. She knows medical skills."

The eunuch responded and left quickly, but what he didn't know was that Gu Qingtang had just come to the roof of Youxiang Palace from somewhere else.

Not long after, Lin returned and reported that he had not found the imperial concubine, and Tao Yun did not know where her master was. "Your Majesty, the servants in Chuxiayuan and your palace have searched, but there is no sign of the imperial concubine."

Gu Qingtang, who was lying on the roof, was wondering what he was looking for her for, and then she saw Song Yunmo pacing in the same place.

After a moment, he composed a message to Gu Qingtang, who was still in a daze and received it, "It's over..."

Song Yunmo sensed that his voice transmission was nearby, so he looked up and saw a figure rushing down from the roof opposite.

He couldn't help but raise a smile and then stepped forward to block her way. When Gu Qingtang hurriedly left, he accidentally bumped into someone.

She covered her slightly painful forehead and tried to avoid it without caring about anything else, but Song Yunmo held her shoulders and said, "Gu Qingtang, I have something to ask you, why are you near Youxiang Palace?"

"I wanted to discuss something with you, but since you were nowhere to be found, I thought you might be in Youxiang Palace."

"Really? Then why are you sneaking around?"

"Why did you run away when you saw me?"

Gu Qingtang, who was exposed, stopped looking for excuses and laughed dryly, then leaned against a tree and said nonchalantly, "I was afraid that you would be killed by Chu Mengyan. If you die again, I can't save you."

Song Yunmo looked at her suspiciously and raised his eyebrows, "That's all?"

"By the way, what do you want me to do?"

Seeing that she changed the subject, Song Yunmo stopped asking and told her about going in to see Chu Mengyan for him.

"Are you sure you want me to go? I tortured her to the point of nearly going crazy last time."

"That's right, you should go in and see her yourself."

Just as he was about to leave, Gu Qingtang grabbed his wide sleeves and said, "Whether she is crazy or not is none of my business, but if you go in, you are just jumping into a fire pit."

Without waiting for him to speak, she walked forward on her own. Song Yunmo, who was following behind her, had a growing smile on his face. At this moment, he had already acquiesced that Mu Huayan cared about him.

But at this moment, Chu Mengyan regained consciousness and fainted again when she saw the blurry shadow was Gu Qingtang.

About a quarter of an hour later, Gu Qingtang had treated her and walked out. Chu Mengyan had started to self-harm after going crazy due to the excessive shock she received last time.

She had accidentally eaten a lot of unprocessed poisonous spiritual herbs, which was why she became so weak.

At midnight, Song Yunmo had sent Gu Qingtang back to Chuxia Garden, but he did not leave. Instead, he slipped into the side room after she entered the house.

When Gu Qingtang was treating Chu Mengyan, he found a pot of spiritual herbs on her dressing table. The spiritual herbs, when lit, were poisonous enough to cause confusion.

At this moment, Chu Mengyan in Youxiang Palace began to madly throw things and even scream, her hair was messy and there were obvious traces of tears on her face.

"Gu Qingtang, why do you always ruin my good things?"

Shuang'er at the side showed a meaningful smile and walked forward to comfort her, "Master, I was not careful enough last time and got caught."

"So please rest assured, Princess. I will make sure you get what you want and be with him."

"As for Gu Qingtang, I will find a chance to kill her."

"My only problem now is that I'm not familiar enough with this new body."

Chu Mengyan felt extremely happy when she heard this, so she laughed out loud. She felt that Gu Qingtang would be defeated by her sooner or later.

"I have to thank my brother for insisting on letting you stay with me."

Gu Qingtang, who was practicing in the room, tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. He always felt that things were not that simple and he was always uneasy.

So he stood up, opened the door, walked outside the pavilion and sat down to relax. After thinking it over, he decided to go to Tingzhu Palace to find Song Yunmo to see the cell where the palace maid was imprisoned.

But when she arrived at the roof of Tingzhu Palace, she found that he was not inside. Then she went to Chengzheng Palace, but he was not there either.

She calmed down and thought about where he might appear, then returned to Chuxiayuan and kicked open the door of the side room.

"Song Yunmo!"

He was sitting on the couch, practicing with his eyes closed, when he heard the slightly angry voice, he walked out of the outer hall slowly. Gu Qingtang took his hand without saying a word and explained, "Take me to the cell."

"Also, stay away from that woman Chu Mengyan in the future. Don't get in close contact with her and don't go to her residence."

Song Yunmo wanted to stop and say a few words but she didn't give him the chance, so he had to hold her horizontally and asked, "Do you suspect that the maid is not dead?"

"It's not a good idea to go to the prison at night. There are many vicious prisoners in there."

"Who said I was going to walk in with such fanfare?"

After she finished speaking, she struggled to get out of his arms and told him what she had seen in Chu Mengyan's bedroom.

"Okay, it's all up to you."

"But I am most worried about Mammy's safety. Chu Mengyan will definitely turn her target to her, so you must find a way to get Mammy to leave the palace temporarily."

Song Yunmo felt that it was not easy to send his elder sister out. After all, the entire metaverse was not safe and he did not know where to send her.

And he didn't know what reason to use to let her leave the palace. Song Yunmo took her to the prison and waited outside.

She used a magic weapon to sneak into the prison, and soon she came to the cell where the palace maid was imprisoned according to what Song Yunmo said.

After some investigation, they did not find any clues, so they recalled what Lin Gui said that day and guessed that she might have taken poison and placed a restriction in her body.

But she couldn't perform the reincarnation spell or she would expose her own aura. After thinking for a while, she quietly left the prison and told him her guess.

"It's the same method used by Prince Rui back then. He escaped with his life."

"Her soul should be attached to someone at this moment."

"And the most likely ones are the other two palace maids around Chu Mengyan."

"They should have guessed that I would ask for punishment and arranged everything in advance."
