After Murong Qian finished his business, he walked to the outside of Fanghua Palace, but heard bursts of laughter coming from inside. He raised his lips slightly and walked in. He saw Zi Gu laughing and playing with a group of maids, like a happy little bird.

Zi Gu heard footsteps, turned around, and quickly stood up to greet Murong Qian. He bowed respectfully and asked, "How did the emperor find time to come here today?"

Murong Qian looked at her with a smile and said softly, "I will be done with my work in a few days. How about going hunting outside the city with Concubine Yan?"

When Zi Gu heard this, his eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "That's great!"

Murong Qian nodded slightly and then asked, "How did Zi Gu know that my life was in danger and that I had been poisoned?"

Zi Gu blinked and answered innocently, "I learned that from overhearing the conversation between the Crown Prince and the Imperial Concubine. I was very scared at the time, but I was also worried about the Emperor, so I took out the Xiyan Detoxification Pill my brother gave me and gave it to the Emperor, thinking that even if it wasn't poisonous, it wouldn't do any harm."

Murong Qian looked at Zi Gu tenderly and asked softly, "What reward does Concubine Yan want? Just tell me, and I will satisfy you."

Zi Gu shook her head slightly, her eyes gleaming with sincerity and concern, and said, "I don't want any rewards. I just hope that the emperor and my brother can be safe and sound! This is my greatest wish."

Murong Qian was deeply moved. He walked forward and hugged Zi Gu tightly. With a hint of emotion in his voice, he slowly said, "Princess Yan, I really like you, but I am no longer young. If you do not want to stay in Dayan, I will arrange for someone to escort you back to Xiyan."

When Zi Gu heard this, she quickly shook her head to indicate that she didn't want to go back. She blushed and said shyly, "No, I won't go back to Xiyan! I'm a little scared and very shy! Your Majesty, I think I might have fallen in love with you..." After she finished speaking, she lowered her head embarrassedly.

Murong Qian smiled with satisfaction when he heard this. He gently stroked Zi Gu's hair and said with a smile, "Zi Gu, if that's the case, then you can stay in Dayan with peace of mind. Give me a lovely little prince and accompany me for the rest of my life!"

After hearing this, Zi Gu's face was filled with a happy smile, and she replied sweetly, "Okay!" Then, she leaned obediently in the emperor's warm embrace, feeling this rare tranquility and warmth. Murong Qian hugged Zi Gu tightly and stood up, then slowly walked towards the bed. Zi Gu was too shy to look up at him, so she had to bury her face deeply in Murong Qian's warm embrace. Murong Qian gently stretched out a hand and gently lifted Zi Gu's beautiful chin, then he lowered his head and kissed her affectionately. At this moment, the curtain slowly fell down, and pieces of clothes kept flying out from inside. This ambiguous sound rang all night long, and it did not gradually subside until the next morning!

The next day, Murong Qian left Fanghua Palace in high spirits and joy, and announced the promotion of Zi Gu to Imperial Consort. When Zi Gu slowly regained consciousness, the maids in Fanghua Palace came to congratulate her, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations on your promotion to Imperial Consort!"

Zi Gu smiled and said, "Everyone, get up! Today, all the servants in Fanghua Palace will receive a reward. Everyone will receive an extra three months' salary!"

After hearing this, everyone immediately said in unison with joy: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your gift!" Then, the maids quickly helped Zi Gu change into a fresh and elegant green palace dress and carefully applied a beautiful pearl makeup. After everything was ready, Zi Gu sent someone to invite Mei Lin over.

Inside Prince Jing's mansion, Murong Jinghe learned that Meilin's Momai poison hadn't yet been eliminated, and anxiously ordered his men to quickly search for the Dragon Snow Whiskers or their seeds. Just then, a servant hurried in with a report: "Your Highness, Concubine Yan sent a message saying she wants to see Miss Meilin and hopes she can come to the palace!"

After hearing this, Mei Lin replied without hesitation: "Okay, I will go to the palace to see the queen!"

After hearing this, Murong Jinghe frowned slightly and said after a moment of contemplation, "I am planning to ask my father to allow me to go to Qingzhou as the governor and rebuild Qingzhou. In that case, let's go to the palace together. Meilin, I will do my best to find the Snow Dragon Beard and detoxify you!"

Mei Lin smiled slightly and nodded in response: "Okay!"

Murong Jinghe gently embraced Meilin in his arms, his tone full of guilt: "I'm sorry, Meilin! I really shouldn't have poisoned you..."

Mei Lin shook her head gently and responded softly: "Jinghe, I don't blame you."

In the Qinzheng Hall, Murong Qian sat on the dragon throne, looking solemnly at Murong Jinghe below him. He asked in a heavy tone, "Jinghe, Xuanlie, what decision do you think I should make?"

Murong Jinghe raised his head, looked at Murong Qian with a firm gaze, and said, "I know that the emperor will definitely give an explanation to the people of Qingzhou."

Murong Qian gave a wry smile and shook his head, his heart filled with helplessness and bitterness. Just then, a eunuch hurried into the hall and reported to Murong Qian that Crown Prince Murong Xuanlie had committed suicide in prison by taking poison. Upon hearing this news, Murong Qian's face turned pale, and an indescribable sadness welled up in his heart.

After a moment, Murong Jinghe suddenly spoke, "Father, I request to go to Qingzhou to participate in the reconstruction work and serve as the governor of Qingzhou."

Murong Qian looked at Murong Jinghe in surprise, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly: "Jinghe, you are the only prince I have left now, and the position of crown prince..."

Murong Jinghe hurriedly interrupted Murong Qian and said, "Father, although it was my eldest brother who designed the murder of 100,000 people in Qingzhou, it was actually caused by my negligence. Therefore, I am willing to spend the rest of my life to make up for my mistakes and do something for the people of Qingzhou. Moreover, you and Concubine Yan are still young, and you can give birth to a younger brother to inherit the throne." After speaking, he lowered his head deeply, with a look of guilt on his face.

After hearing this, Murong Qian was so angry that he trembled all over. He suddenly threw the memorial in his hand at Murong Jinghe and shouted angrily: "Get out! Get out! Get out!"

Over here in the Fanghua Palace, Zi Gu handed an exquisite box to Mei Lin and said softly, "Open it and take a look, this is for you!" Mei Lin gently opened the lid of the box as she was told, and saw a lotus flower she had never seen before lying quietly inside. The petals were crystal clear, and seemed to emit a strange light, making people know at a glance that this flower is extraordinary!

Mei Lin couldn't help but ask curiously, "Princess, what is this?" Zi Gu quickly explained, "This is the Izumo Heavy Lotus, a rare item in the world. It can not only cure all poisons, but also help increase a person's internal strength by twenty years! Take it quickly!"

Upon hearing this, Mei Lin quickly closed the box and handed it back to Zi Gu with both hands, shaking her head repeatedly and saying, "Princess, this is too valuable! I can't accept it!"

Zi Gu didn't reach out to take it. Instead, he looked at Mei Lin with a determined gaze and said seriously, "I know that the Momai poison in your body has not yet been cured, and you and King Jing have been searching hard for an antidote. However, the Snow Dragon Whiskers have disappeared since the fire in Qingzhou, and finding them is no easy task. However, this Chuyun Heavy Lotus can cure your poison. If you feel bad about it, you can give it to me in the future when you and King Jing find the Snow Dragon Whiskers, or you can repay me with other precious medicinal herbs!"

Meilin smiled and said, "Princess!" At Zigu's urging, Meilin consumed the Chuyun Chonglian, finally detoxifying herself. When they returned to Prince Jing's mansion, Jinghe was overjoyed to learn Meilin had been cured. They decided to depart for Qingzhou that day to begin rebuilding their home. Meilin looked forward to opening a Chunhua pancake shop there and continuing her life.
