I'm shocked! After breaking off the engagement, the emperor's uncle wants to have a fake m

The woman looked up suddenly, as if shocked by these words.

Mu Qingyan continued, "I prescribed two doses of medicine. She has already taken one dose. The symptoms have subsided tonight. If the symptoms recur tomorrow, you can make another bowl for the child. When she recovers, bring her to the school. Don't worry, I won't charge you any money and I will provide her with meals."

She turned her head and looked outside. "The child has a fever, so he shouldn't be exposed to cold wind. You are wearing thin clothes. I'll have someone take you back."

The one in charge of sending people off was Jiu Niang.

Just as they sent the mother and daughter onto the carriage, Prince Ling appeared before them.

"Why is the prince here?"

"I heard that Doctor Mu didn't eat a single grain of rice today in order to treat the patient. I was afraid that the princess would be starving, so I came to pick you up for dinner..."

Mu Qingyan naturally took his hand and got into the carriage.

I have to say, I really don’t feel hungry when I’m busy.

Now that I have some free time, I feel a little weak in the hands and feet.

I don't even want to talk.

Prince Ling took her hand and pressed her head onto his shoulder. "If you are tired, lean back and take a nap. I will call you when we get there."

Mu Qingyan was not hypocritical. She even found a position that made her neck more comfortable. She touched her stomach and muttered, "I'm so hungry that my chest is sticking to my back. I can't sleep. I have to lean on the prince's shoulder..."

Prince Ling pursed his lips and smiled, but even he himself didn't realize how much satisfaction was in that smile.

"I wish you could rely on me for the rest of my life..."

"My Lord, life is long. Have you really thought about it? Do you want to be tied to me for life?"

Prince Ling frowned, "Could it be that you want to marry someone else?"

"That's not the case. In this capital, apart from Your Majesty, there is no one with a bigger thigh than Your Majesty. I would love to hold you for the rest of my life. I'm just worried that Your Majesty will regret it when he meets someone he really loves in the future. Let me, a strange woman, take the title of your beloved."

Prince Ling felt a little disappointed and stopped smiling. "In your eyes, I am a fickle person? Didn't we agree that if I married you, I would be responsible for you forever? How could there be someone you really like?"

A hint of loss flashed across Mu Qingyan's lowered brows.

She has never been a pretentious person. She doesn't know why, but every time she faces King Ling, there always seems to be a vague sense of grievance lingering in her heart.

It's hard to say how deep her feelings for Prince Ling are, right? After all, they didn't spend that long together.

Prince Ling's attitude towards her was more ambiguous than sincere.

It seemed as if they were all stuck in a vicious circle of testing each other but not daring to reveal their true feelings.

But it's normal. He is in a high position and there are tens of millions of people who want to plot against him. If he trusts someone so easily and speaks his true feelings without reservation, I'm afraid the grass on his grave will be very tall, right?

The carriage clattered forward and stopped in front of a restaurant. Because there was a curfew in the city, there were not many people there, but the lights were still on inside.

The shopkeeper personally greeted them at the door, "Greetings, Your Majesty, Miss Mu, the wine and food are ready, please move to the private room upstairs..."

The two of them went upstairs hand in hand and entered the private room.

As soon as we sat down, the waiters from the restaurant came in one after another with delicious food.

She almost dropped her jaw in shock. She really wanted to say that even if she was hungry for a day, she couldn't eat a full banquet...

This is treating her like a pig...

"My Lord, you, haven't you eaten either?"

Prince Ling shook his head. "I have a lot to do today and don't have much appetite. Since you haven't eaten either, just eat something with me."

Mu Qingyan stopped talking and buried her head in eating.

She thought that it was so late, if she ate this meal, she would have to go hungry for at least three days before she could lose the fat, right?

This meal was eaten in unusual silence.

Everyone ate quietly, following the rule of not talking while eating or sleeping.

But in Mu Qingyan's heart, she felt that the atmosphere was a little weird.

She kept her eyes on Prince Ling, and when she saw him put down his chopsticks, she quickly put them down as well.

There was a table full of dishes, but some of them were not even touched. What a waste...

On the way back, Mu Qingyan kept pretending to doze off but didn't fall asleep. She just felt that it was awkward for everyone to keep their eyes open and not talk, so she simply closed her eyes.

It was also true that she was tired after a long day.

Prince Ling knew that she was not asleep, so he spoke softly, "Lord Yuan will leave the capital tomorrow, and Madam Yuan may follow him back. In this case, she will not be able to attend our wedding..."

Mu Qingyan then opened her eyes and slapped her forehead.

I've been so busy these days that I almost forgot about it.

But didn't my uncle say he was leaving Beijing a long time ago? Why did he delay for so long?

Prince Ling seemed to know what she wanted to ask. "In order for Yang Yi to eliminate Prince Yong's followers, he had to have someone to lead the way. Other people in the court were more or less connected to Prince Yong, and those who were not connected also had some nepotism. They were afraid of offending him, and also afraid of being implicated, so everyone avoided him. My brother asked Lord Yuan to stay for a few more days. Now that the matter is almost done, he should retire..."

"What about Zhou Yuan?"

"Zhou Yuan is as cunning and scheming as your uncle. My brother can only detain him temporarily. It's not that easy to take action against him... After all, with the relationship with my aunt, my brother has to be wary of the cavalry under her command. If Zhou Yuan is killed and my aunt is forced into a corner, this cavalry will directly become the Prince of Yong's internal support in the capital... Moreover, in addition to this cavalry, my aunt has also raised a lot of private soldiers in her fiefdom..."

Mu Qingyan could only laugh in her heart.

It seems that Da'an is really facing internal and external troubles...

"She is a princess, why would she raise private soldiers? Could it be that she wants her son to be the emperor?"

Prince Ling suddenly looked over.

The eyes are obscure and unclear.

Mu Qingyan blinked her eyes. "Could it be that she wants to be the queen herself?"

Prince Ling said nothing, but she knew she was right.

He has quite a big ambition.

However, even though he is colluding with Prince Yong now, Prince Yong is not someone who would do things for others...

"Your royal family is so complicated." Mu Qingyan couldn't help but shed tears of sympathy for him.

"So, I am really wronging you by asking you to marry me." Prince Ling smiled bitterly.

"That's not what I meant. At least you are powerful and pretty, so I won't lose anything from this business."

Seeing that the carriage stopped at Gu's house, Mu Qingyan was a little moved. Her uncle was leaving Beijing tomorrow, and she should come to see him off. But she didn't say anything, and he sent her to Gu's house directly. It was really thoughtful.

"Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Your Majesty. Please go back and rest early."
