Ah Shu looked at Mu Qingyan in confusion, "Miss, where is Doctor Yan going?"

"He is going to Chiling Pass to find an answer."

Mu Qingyan asked Ah Shu to prepare paper and pen. She needed to write down a prescription to remove the remaining poison from Prince Ling and strengthen his body.

"Go get the medicine according to this prescription, three times a day, for three days, don't miss a meal. After three days, I'll come over to take your pulse and adjust the prescription."

Seeing that she was about to leave, Ah Shu hurriedly said, "Miss, the prince just woke up and said he wanted to see you... Look..."

Mu Qingyan had no choice but to turn around and go back into the house.

The bed had been changed and the man had put on his pajamas. His black hair was scattered around his neck, and his face was pale and weak.

"The poison has been removed. As for the 1,000 taels of gold we agreed on, write me an IOU and I'll come to cash it out anytime. Take it back to the Duke's Mansion, I'm afraid someone might want to take it away."

Prince Ling said "OK" softly.

Then he didn't speak for a long while.

"You have just recovered from a serious illness and are at your weakest. Get some sleep for three days, and take my prescription to recuperate. I can't guarantee that you can go out and hunt tigers, but you should be able to hunt a few rabbits."

She was about to get up when he grabbed her hand and said, "Please think carefully about what I am saying to you..."

He was breathing weakly and fell asleep after he finished speaking.

Mu Qingyan sighed, tucked his bony hands under the quilt, and said to the unconscious man, "What are you dreaming of? As soon as you recover from your illness, you want to get married. I'm afraid you will bring bad luck to me."

The sleeping person seemed to have heard these words, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

In Shouxiang Palace in the imperial city, Lan brought Mu Yingyu to pay a visit to the empress dowager. Mu Ruge was also waiting on the side. However, she always acted like a second-rank female official. When she saw her mother, she just bowed slightly, called her mother, and said nothing else.

Mrs. Lan did not feel disappointed, but only felt a sense of pride. This was her daughter, the most perfect masterpiece of her life.

How could Gu Qingqi compare with her? Even though her mother's family held a large number of troops, she was still disliked by the Duke and died after giving birth to a daughter. The Duke also disliked her daughter, so she was sent to Cangzhou as soon as she was born!

However, Gu Qingqi was a short-lived ghost, but the daughter she gave birth to was very strong! No one took care of her, but she still lived to this day!

"Yu'er, come here." Empress Dowager Lan waved her hand with a smile on her face, looking very kind.

Mu Yingyu glanced at Lan, and after getting her permission, she slowly walked to the Queen Mother, "Auntie..."

"Tell me about how you fell into the water during the Qingming Festival Lantern Festival."

She was smiling, but there was a sharp light in her eyes. Mu Yingyu's heart skipped a beat and she lowered her head. The handkerchief in her hand was almost torn to pieces by her.

Queen Mother Lan was already showing impatience, and was about to explode when Mu Ruge's gentle voice came over, "My sister was just having fun and joking with His Royal Highness Prince Chong. The Queen Mother has always been kind and will definitely forgive Sister Yu."

Queen Mother Lan's expression softened after hearing this, but she still didn't give in. "The royal family's children are of noble status, how can anyone make fun of them? I forgive you this time because you are young and naive. But forget about the marriage."

One sentence shattered Mu Yingyu's beautiful dream.

But it's okay. Prince Chong looks handsome, but he is cold-blooded when the time comes. He can watch her die. How can she have a good life if she marries him?

Mu Yingyu was not very smart, but she knew that Prince Chong was not a good man.

"Thank you Queen Mother for your kindness. Your Highness Prince Chong is a man of high character. I know I am not worthy of you and I dare not have any unrealistic dreams."

She plotted against Prince Chong, which displeased the Queen Mother. After Queen Mother Lan scolded her, she sent her away, and she was happy and at ease.

"Aunt, Yu'er is young and ignorant. Please don't be angry with her. If you are worried that she can't give up this idea, you can find a suitable marriage for her and let her get married." Lan stepped forward and gently pinched the Empress Dowager Lan's shoulders.

Queen Mother Lan showed an expression of great enjoyment, "I like your craft the most, but it's a pity that you are now married and can't come to the palace often, otherwise you and I could catch up more often." She looked at Mu Ruge beside her, "Fortunately, Ruge has always been by my side, working hard without complaint. Now she is the highest-ranking female official in the inner court. She has lived up to my advice and cultivation over the years. She is a good seedling!"

Mu Ruge bowed and said, "The Queen Mother has been very kind to Ruge, and Ruge cannot repay her kindness even a little bit."

Queen Mother Lan smiled and said, "There is no need to go through so much trouble. You will be able to repay me soon."

A hint of panic flashed across Mu Ruge's lowered brows, but she quickly concealed it.

Lan knew that her aunt had been training Ruge to be the queen. Now that the crown prince had been appointed, the crown princess was still undecided. The noble families in the capital were trying their best to send their daughters to the East Palace, even if it was just a concubine. Once the crown prince ascended the throne in the future, she would be a glorious concubine.

However, she looked at her daughter and she seemed not to want to marry the prince...

Lan remembered that the main purpose of her visit to the palace today had not yet been achieved, so she hesitated and said, "Aunt, haven't you always wanted to find a wife for Prince Ling? I have a candidate, aunt, take a look, is he suitable?"

Queen Mother Lan turned her head slightly, her eyes suddenly brightened, "You are not going to talk about the legitimate daughter you brought back from Cangzhou?"

"Aunt is wise, that's right."

"If you don't like her, you can torture her to death with your status as her stepmother. At worst, you can find her an ugly man to marry off, and her life will be over. Why go through so much trouble?"

Lan's eyes flashed with disgust, "This little girl is restless. If we choose a husband for her, she may not be willing to marry. She is barefoot and is not afraid of those who wear shoes, but I still have to consider Ru'er and Shang'er's dignity. If the family is disturbed and everyone knows about it, wouldn't it make her aunt lose face? But it's different for an imperial marriage. Even if she has the courage to disobey the imperial order, she won't dare to refuse the marriage, right?"

Queen Mother Lan snorted coldly, "Fine, Prince Ling won't live long anyway, why not give him some good luck...it will pay off my motherly heart."

After Mu Qingyan left Prince Ling's Mansion, she strolled around with the jade hairpin and bought a lot of things.

As soon as she entered the house, Lan followed in. The smug look on her face was too obvious. In Mu Qingyan's opinion, it was a complete provocation! Mu Yingyu followed behind with her head down. When she saw Mu Qingyan, she gave her a sympathetic look.

Only then did she notice that behind Lan, there were several eunuchs holding a roll of bright yellow cloth in their hands.

"Mu Qingyan accepts the order——"

Mu Qingyan had no choice but to kneel down and listen to the order.
