It's good to exchange marriages. My sister eats coarse food while I wear gold and silver.

"Young Marquis, please speak."

Hearing Lu Sui say "let bygones be bygones", Mu Qing's dull eyes suddenly lit up: "I can definitely do it."

"Are you willing to help your father and Nanny Feng return to the Mu Mansion?"

"Young Marquis, what did you say?" The light in Mu Qing's eyes faded away little by little. "No, I can't betray my grandmother."

"There's nothing we can do about it." Lu Sui understood Mu Qing. The more he said, the more determined she would be. The worse it was for her to make a decision immediately, the more indecisive she would become.

"The Mu family is now in this state, it's all my father's fault. My grandmother cries all day long. How could I possibly help him?"

"That's right, but didn't your grandmother promise you to be the head of the Mu Mansion? Why haven't you become one yet?"

"My grandmother is not in good health right now. When she gets better, I will naturally convince the clan members to let me be the head of the Mu Mansion." Mu Qing said this, but in fact he had already begun to feel conflicted. His grandmother's health was getting worse day by day, his mother had no opinions of her own, and he didn't have many confidants around him. If one day, the clan members joined forces to plot against him, he would be powerless to fight back.

"Oh."

Lu Sui replied with one word and closed his eyes: "I'm going to rest, you go out."

"Small……"

"go out ."

Mu Qing bit her lower lip. Seeing that Lu Sui didn't want to open his eyes at all, she could only walk out of the door in shame.

But his words kept lingering in her mind.

Not long after she left.

Yuan Buwei slowly walked out from behind.

"Chenxiang, I have prepared some medicine in the kitchen. She is weak now, so this is the time for you to gain her trust."

Chen Xiang nodded: "I understand."

Yuan Buwei has already found out the whereabouts of Xie Yunting, but has not been able to get in touch with the imperial concubine.

Rather than sit and wait for death, it is better to take the initiative.

She plans to enter the palace tomorrow.

The next morning, she went out. This time she didn't bring anyone with her. She got in the carriage and set off by herself.

Outside the palace gate.

Follow up once and hand the token to the guard.

I waited a little longer than last time before I saw Eunuch Yu rushing over.

"Meet Master Yu."

"Mrs. Lu, it's really a coincidence that you came today. Even if you didn't come today, the queen would have sent us to invite you."

"Oh?"

Yuan Buwei's eyes showed a hint of surprise: "What happened to the Imperial Concubine?"

Eunuch Yu smiled and said, "You will know when you meet the Empress."

Yuan Buwei was a little anxious because of what Eunuch Yu said, so she rushed to Changle Palace as quickly as possible.

"See the noble concubine."

"All of you please go down. I want to talk to Bu Wei alone."

After the palace maid left, the imperial concubine immediately took Yuan Buwei's hands and said, "Buwei, I have been taking care of the empress dowager these days, but her illness has been getting worse. She has been in a coma since yesterday. I didn't dare to give her acupuncture casually, so I sent her away with the excuse that my medical skills were not good enough. The emperor saw that I had been guarding her for so many days and it was really hard, so he let me go back to Changle Palace. If I had known that I would stay with the empress dowager for so long, I should have arranged someone to keep in touch with you."

"Senior Sister Wei, I actually looked for him once before because I had no idea where Xie Yunting was. Unexpectedly, I found a way out and met Xie Yunting's nephew Xie Lin'an. He told me where Xie Yunting was, but I didn't dare to go to the Third Princess and tell her the news, so I could only come to you with the token."

"Did you really find out where Xie Yunting is?"

"Well, the relationship between Xie Lin'an and Xie Yunting is not as harmonious as outsiders see. Anyway, what he said is true. And I think Princess Jinghe can definitely guess something, but she is not accurate. She is also ill and dare not act rashly."

"Yes." The imperial concubine nodded. "During the days when I was sick, Fu'er came to see me every day. She basically went in and out of the princess's mansion once every two days. I heard from her that Jinghe's body was recovering, but there were too many spies in the mansion, so she had to continue pretending."

"What is the Queen Mother's attitude towards Princess Jinghe?"

"Jinghe's biological mother and the Queen Mother were close friends before entering the palace. They entered the palace one after the other and did not scheme against each other. Instead, they always helped each other. Unfortunately, Princess Jinghe's mother died when the Queen Mother was still the Queen because of poor health, so the Queen Mother took good care of Jinghe. If Jinghe's ideas were not different from those of ordinary people, her relationship with the Queen Mother would not be as distant as it is now."

"That is to say, the Queen Mother still has sympathy for Jinghe because of the relationship between Jinghe and Princess Jinghe's biological mother."

"Yes." The imperial concubine nodded. "I am here to take care of the empress dowager this time. I am thinking that if the empress dowager can get better under my care, then I want to ask her to allow me to take Jinghe to my palace to recuperate. The empress dowager does not know about the conflict between the emperor and Jinghe. If the emperor stops her, she will definitely be suspicious. I am the emperor's favorite concubine. I am doing this for the sake of brother-sister friendship. The emperor will naturally not doubt my motives. Who would have thought that the empress dowager would suddenly faint."

"Has the Queen Mother always been in such poor health?"

"One year, the flowers in the Imperial Garden were in full bloom, and the Empress held a Hundred Flowers Festival, inviting noble ladies from the capital to come and enjoy the flowers. The Empress Dowager also went, but after standing in the garden for less than an incense stick of time, her face immediately turned red, her neck became thick, and she had difficulty breathing. Everyone present was frightened, and they immediately asked the court judge to come and treat her. Later, it was diagnosed that the Empress Dowager was allergic to pollen. That afternoon, the Emperor ordered all the flowers in the Imperial Garden to be removed, and the Empress was also banned from walking for half a month."

Yuan Buwei suddenly remembered the first time she entered the palace to ask Eunuch Yu about the Imperial Garden, he seemed to be hesitant to speak.

It turned out to be this reason.

"After that, there cannot be a single fresh flower in the palace, especially in the Queen Mother's palace. But now she is in a coma, not because of the pollen, but more because of physical deficiency. The entire Imperial Hospital has tried everything, but the Queen Mother is not getting any better." The Imperial Concubine sighed, "So I thought, you will definitely know what happened to the Queen Mother at a glance."

"Then why not, let's use the old method. Last time I disguised myself as the Third Princess' maid, this time I'll disguise myself as your maid. When I see the Queen Mother, I'll take a look at her. If she can find the root of the problem, I'll repeat what I said to the Emperor. In this way, all the credit will go to you, and you can ask the Emperor to take Princess Jinghe to his own palace."

"Bu Wei, this is not good. My medical skills are far inferior to yours, and what if I reveal a flaw?"

"I'm here, Senior Sister Wei, don't be afraid. This is a rare trial that you can't miss. Besides, you saved the Queen Mother's life, which is equivalent to having a golden ticket to avoid death. It would be good for you to speak on behalf of the Wanning Marquisate when the time comes."

The imperial concubine smiled when she heard this: "Bu Wei, I like your temper. Okay, I'll take you to dress up and then go see the Queen Mother."
