The shopkeeper frowned, finally shook his head and went back to his work.

Anyway, there was nothing wrong with his account book. He clearly recorded every amount of medicinal materials that came in and out every day. After all, he was just a shopkeeper, and it was enough for him to get his salary on time every month.

Whether there is a loss or not is the boss's business.

Mu Qingyan took one look at him and knew what he was thinking.

However, she didn't care.

Jimin Hall was established to enable common people to afford medical treatment, and also to open up a way for herself.

There are so many wealthy families in Kyoto, but there are very few women who practice medicine. Many women have physical illnesses but are too embarrassed to talk about them and can only endure them.

After her reputation spread in Kyoto, business naturally came to her.

Not long after Xulin left, he came back quietly.

"How was it? Did you see who it was?"

"I heard people around him call him His Royal Highness the King Chong..."

Mu Qingyan had an ominous premonition in her heart. This person, who used to sneer at her, now always stares at her from behind. What is he trying to do?

In her heart, it seemed as if a very painful force was gushing out, causing her pain and making her feel sick...

Thinking of that dream, Mu Qingyan's feeling of nausea became more and more obvious.

"What's wrong with you?" Xu Lin saw that her face looked wrong, so he asked anxiously.

"Has His Royal Highness the Chong King ever had any grievances with you?"

He secretly observed the man, but it didn't seem like a feud, because the look in his eyes when he looked at A Yan was full of possession... just like a hunter who has set his sights on a prey and is determined to get it...

Prince Chong should be Prince Ling's nephew, so A Yan would be his future aunt...

He was staring at Ah Yan from behind with such eyes, which was not a good thing...

"It's not a big deal. It's just that he used to look down on my background and always ridiculed me. He was disgusted with me. Now, I don't know what this person wants..."

He competed with the Crown Prince in the court and secretly dealt with Prince Ling.

This person is not as simple as he seems...

Prince Ling has been investigating the whereabouts of Concubine Xian's child, but there has been no news, which is indeed a problem...

He suddenly stands out everywhere, so I guess he has already found out his identity, right? He wants to defeat the prince and control the government before his background is exposed, so that he can ascend the throne legitimately!

But there is a Prince Yong behind him!

Since Prince Yong wanted to be the emperor himself, he would never allow Prince Chong to become powerful before he started his rebellion... So, what was Prince Chong planning?

What bothered Mu Qingyan was that there was no news about Prince Yong, Emperor Jianning, and Prince Ling in her dream!

In the end, King Chong ascended the throne, so these people must have died...but how did they die?

"Brother, thank you for your hard work. Help me keep an eye on this person. If he makes any unusual moves, you must tell me..."

"Don't worry, I will never let you fall into danger."

The discomfort in Mu Qingyan's heart eased a little, but she still felt uneasy. After closing the shop at night, Prince Ling's carriage appeared in front of the door on time.

Mu Qingyan had something to say to him, so she said directly after getting in the car, "I'm not going to Gu's house. Just take me back to the palace. I have something to tell you..."

Although she didn't know what Prince Chong wanted to do, it was obvious that he wanted the throne. Although the things in the dream were illusory, she still told Prince Ling so that he could be mentally prepared...

Prince Ling just said "OK" and told Ah Shu to turn around and go back to the palace.

Ah Shang was quick on his feet and had already gone back to ask people to prepare food.

When we returned to the palace, the food had already been delivered to Prince Ling's courtyard.

The servants all left, leaving only these two behind.

"Eat first, and then we can talk after dinner."

Mu Qingyan had no choice but to pick up the bowl in front of her, took the chopsticks he handed her, and put the food into her mouth, which tasted like wax.

But in my mind, I was thinking about how to start talking about the dream so that it wouldn't seem so absurd... After all, no one could tell whether it was true or not.

After finally waiting for Prince Ling to put down his chopsticks, she quickly put down the bowl in her hand, and without saying a word, pulled him into the study.

Prince Ling felt a little embarrassed, "Yan'er, what are you doing?"

Mu Qingyan let go of his hand and closed the study door.

But he was silent for a long time and didn't speak.

"Did something happen? Just tell me, I will definitely make the decision for you."

Mu Qingyan sighed deeply, and then cautiously tested, "My Lord, can you believe in past lives and present lives..."

"what?"

"Actually, I don't know where to start with this matter, but I feel that I should let you know... After all, this is a matter concerning the country... But, it's a little unbelievable for me to say this..."

Prince Ling frowned. "What kind of thing could make you, a person who never beats around the bush, hesitate like this?"

Mu Qingyan sat down. "I have been having a dream these days. In that dream, the General's Mansion was massacred... Mu Ruge became the queen, and the one sitting on the throne was Prince Chong... and I was gouged out and had my feet chopped off..."

Prince Ling was greatly shocked.

“In that dream, there was no information about Prince Yong, Your Majesty, or you… That’s why I said it was about the country… After Prince Chong ascended the throne, he ordered the massacre of the General’s Mansion. Mu Ruge threw the bodies of the Gu family into a mass grave… And she gouged out my eyes and chopped off my feet with her own hands… So, I wanted Mu Ruge to be disgraced in order to prevent that dream from coming true… Unexpectedly, she was kidnapped in the Dali Temple prison…”

When Mu Qingyan thought of that scene, her body couldn't help but tremble slightly. After all, she had experienced that kind of pain countless times in her dreams.

"Yesterday when Jimin Hall opened, I noticed someone was staring at me from the opposite side. Today, that gaze was also from the opposite side, so I asked my brother to find out, and I found out that the person staring at me was King Chong. So, I want to tell you about this matter..."

Prince Ling came over and hugged her slightly trembling body.

She has always been fearless.

If the scene in the dream hadn't been too real, she wouldn't be like this.

"Don't worry, I will never let the dream come true. Mu Ruge will not have the chance to hurt you."

Mu Qingyan calmed down a little, "I, I'm not worried about myself, I'm worried about you. If what happened in the dream really happens, then you and His Majesty, the Crown Prince, the Queen, Concubine Xian and others... Judging from the Queen Mother's attitude towards Prince Chong, Prince Chong is most likely the blood of Prince Yong. But in that dream, there was no news about Prince Yong, which means that in order to make himself the legitimate successor to the throne, Prince Chong even killed his own biological father..."
