The emperor's whereabouts drifted to the empress dowager's bedroom, and he chose to have dinner with the empress dowager.

He had no one accompanying him, only his apprentice, and was left alone in the Yangxin Palace.

He waited quietly for a while, then talked to the guards for a few words, then walked out of the palace with his whisk in hand.

The Empress Dowager miraculously recovered her health after experiencing the earth dragon's transformation.

Although her original condition had improved, she had not completely recovered. However, at this moment she suddenly recovered.

Perhaps because something important happened to her, her spirit was able to return.

This scene is incredibly magical.

Although the imperial doctors could not explain this phenomenon, they could only accept the result.

The emperor did the same. He put aside his doubts and often went to the empress dowager to accompany her and have meals with her. At the same time, the empress dowager would also ask about things outside the palace.

However, out of concern for the health of the Empress Dowager, no one dared to disturb her.

The emperor still frequently appeared in the empress dowager's bedroom.

One day, Murong Shuo was walking in the palace, thinking about something.

When he walked into the imperial garden, a white figure appeared under a lantern. He looked closely and found that it was a woman.

Before he could ask why, the woman turned around and started singing to him.

Her singing was gentle and melodious, full of melancholy, but her fluttering sleeves and white robe made him curious.

Late at night, Murong Shuo listened for a while with his hands behind his back and decided to leave.

At this time, a handsome young eunuch saw this and thought that the emperor's arrival had attracted the woman's attention.

He guessed that the woman might have come here to sing after learning that the emperor had come out of the empress dowager's palace, hoping to win the emperor's favor.

After all, there are always such performances every time there is competition for favor in the harem.

Moreover, the emperor's whereabouts today seemed to be more open and transparent than usual, allowing the woman to seize the opportunity to come and sing.

Therefore, the appearance of this woman does not seem to be a coincidence, but rather carefully planned.

However, what kind of stories and motives are hidden behind all this? This can't help but make people curious and speculate.

He looked up again, but His Majesty left resolutely, without any reluctance, as if he was unwilling to even give him a glance.

He hurriedly quickened his pace to try to keep up, calling out to His Majesty.

But Murong Shuo said nothing, but walked forward with firm steps.

Not long after, he met another woman.

He was also unfamiliar with this woman, who suddenly appeared among the flowers in a red dress, with infinite expectation in her eyes.

When she saw Murong Shuo, she rushed out like a moth to a flame, and fell to the ground after a scream.

This sudden scene made the young eunuch behind him stand there in a daze, not knowing what to do.

After the woman fell, she only dared to look up at Murong Shuo, tears in her eyes but unable to speak.

Murong Shuo glanced at him and asked coldly, "What are you doing so late at night?" His words revealed dissatisfaction and indifference.

The woman could only endure it silently without saying a word.

After passing the woman, Murong Shuo continued to move forward.

The young eunuch caught up again and met no one else along the way.

Until they met again, this time it was Concubine Lan.

The young eunuch looked at His Majesty, thinking that His Majesty would stop this time.

However, Concubine Lan just bowed from a distance, her attitude as cold as ice.

Murong Shuo didn't look at it for long, but asked the eunuch to go over and ask Concubine Lan what was the matter.

The young eunuch hesitated for a moment, looked at His Majesty, and seeing that he had no intention of staying, he walked towards Concubine Lan.

He stepped forward and asked, "Empress Lan, what can I do for you?" However, Concubine Lan did not answer, but just stared quietly in the direction of the emperor.

The young eunuch called out again, "Empress Lanpin." Only then did Concubine Lan ask calmly, "Is the emperor not free?" She wondered why the emperor didn't come over to meet her or talk to her.

The scenes of the past are no longer there, time has passed quietly, and everything has become so sudden and puzzling.

Even the young eunuch noticed the emperor's change of attitude.

In the past, no matter when, the emperor would always find time to see Concubine Lan, even though Concubine Lan was always cold as ice.

Now, the emperor's attitude seems to have subtly changed.

In the past, Concubine Lan did not need to actively seek "chance encounters". The emperor would always think of her, give her rewards, and even visit her in person.

Now it was Concubine Lan who came in person, but was met with a look of indifference.

The young eunuch had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he didn't dare to say much.

"I am here to inquire on the orders of the Emperor."

Concubine Lan hesitated to speak, her heart filled with anxiety and anticipation.

The young eunuch was also trying to figure out how to deal with this sudden change.

At this moment, Concubine Lan's expression suddenly changed, as if she had seen something surprising.

The young eunuch looked in confusion, but saw that the emperor had turned to the other side and left without even looking at Concubine Lan.

This scene made both the young eunuch and Concubine Lan feel deeply uneasy.

Concubine Lan knew in her heart that she might have lost the emperor's favor.

She tried calling out to the emperor, but he seemed not to hear her, or did not want to respond.

Concubine Lan felt deeply ashamed and could not stand being laughed at by everyone.

She was once the emperor's favorite, but now she has become like this.

She looked around, thankful no one had seen her embarrassment.

The young eunuch ran all the way to catch up with the emperor, "Your Majesty, Concubine Lan just wants to see you and talk to you." He whispered.

The emperor just said "hmm" lightly, without any other expression.

Just as they were approaching the Yangxin Palace, the Queen appeared.

The young eunuch bowed, and the queen did the same.

The sudden appearance of the Queen made the whole scene more complicated.

The interaction between the Queen and the Emperor made Concubine Lan's situation even worse.

All these changes are unpredictable.

The Emperor's change of attitude, Concubine Lan's fall from grace, the young eunuch's helplessness, and the Empress's sudden appearance...

All of this seems to be telling an endless secret in the deep palace.

"Your Majesty." The Queen called softly.

"Queen, why are you here?" Murong Shuo gestured for the two to stand up. He turned to the queen and asked gently.

The Queen bowed her head slightly and whispered softly, "Your Majesty, I heard you had returned from the Empress Dowager's visit. I was worried and wanted to go visit you. But then I heard rumors in the palace that Your Majesty had brought a stranger into the palace."

"I am curious and have come to ask Your Majesty who this person is so that I can properly arrange matters within the palace."

"Oh?" Murong Shuo raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Did you hear? I did bring a woman into the palace."

He did not deny it, but he chose not to mention the details about the woman for the time being.

When the young eunuch at the side heard this, although he had no room to interrupt directly, his heart was filled with doubts and curiosity.

Murong Shuo continued, "This woman is truly extraordinary. Her background and purpose still require further investigation. But please rest assured, she will not pose any threat to the palace."

His words revealed a kind of majesty and confidence that made people involuntarily convinced.

After hearing this, the queen nodded slightly to show her understanding.

The young eunuch was secretly trying to figure out the deeper meaning of all this, and seemed to be contemplating the right words.
