Time Travel and Love

It was midnight when Mo Liujin returned to the Princess's Mansion from the main hall. Kui Wenzhong was already waiting in the courtyard. However, to prevent Mo Liujin from disturbing Chu Qingmeng's rest, he reminded him again before leaving, "Sir, I'm just taking a look. You'd better not do anything rash, otherwise, I will be offended."

"Yeah." Mo Liujin didn't think about anything. He just wanted to see where she was. Just one look would make him feel at ease.

Mo Liujin did not bring anyone with him, and he and Kui Wenzhong just relied on their luck to head straight to the outskirts of the city.

Chu Qingmeng was already fast asleep at this time. In June, the weather was hot and the windows were open. After sneaking all the way, he finally arrived at Chu Qingmeng's yard. Mo Liujin just flashed in through the window, closed the doors and windows, and sighed at the sleeping Chu Qingmeng. She really had no guard at all. She was kidnapped, but she could still sleep so soundly. He reached out and touched her face gently. When he was about to withdraw his hand, a small hand grabbed his wrist. With a force, he was caught off guard and was pulled down on her. Chu Qingmeng raised her arms to hug his neck. She didn't open her eyes, but her voice was clear, "Ajin."

"Yeah." Mo Liujin responded with a smile on his face.

She just wanted to hold him for a while, and let him rub against her neck. For a cup of tea, neither of them spoke. Mo Liujin kissed her lips lightly, then stood up silently, "Rest, you have an early court tomorrow."

"Yeah." Chu Qingmeng opened his eyes and looked at him with a smile.

Mo Liujin simply smiled, took two steps back, and slipped out the window again. Kui Wenzhong, who was waiting on the roof, was momentarily surprised. So obedient? That wasn't like their style. He'd thought they'd be bored for at least an hour!

At three quarters past midnight the next day, a sedan passed by the gate of Prince Rong's mansion. Mo Jiangqing and Mo Jiangche, who had left with Mo Liujin today, hadn't even mounted their horses when they spotted the sedan. Their father dodged inside, and before they could intervene, they realized their father hadn't been stopped by the sedan's guards. The bearers, watching their father enter, didn't even waver, and no one uttered a word. Despite their doubts, they mounted their horses and followed the sedan until they were almost at the palace gate, where their father finally emerged.

"Father?" The two brothers wanted to wait for his explanation.

But how could Mo Liujin possibly tell them? The two had already guessed that the sedan chair might have entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony for court, so it was even more impossible for Mo Liujin to tell them. Chu Qingmeng wasn't just playful; she was just lazy and didn't want to take charge. Once she made a move, she would definitely fight to the end until the matter was over. Now, judging by her father and Qingmeng's plan, this matter would probably be over soon, and he and Qingmeng would be able to relax for a while. Mo Liujin thought so, and a smile curled his lips. He dismounted and walked towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony in a good mood, following the sedan chair from a distance, his eyes fixed on it without blinking, until he reached the Nine Ministers' Room. He watched the sedan chair enter the back door of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and then went inside to sit down.

"General..." As soon as he sat down, a group of generals surrounded Mo Liujin, complaining one after another that they had been too idle recently.

"Don't worry. I wasn't anxious even when my military power was taken away. Why are you anxious?" Mo Liujin sat down calmly.

The crowd looked at each other. Why did they feel that the general seemed particularly happy today? The look of suicidal intent he had a few days ago was completely gone. He was still as haggard and worn as a few days ago, but he no longer seemed as hopeless as before.

"Haha, the general is still as steady as Mount Tai." General Qi Nan said this, not knowing whether it was a compliment or an insult.

The morning court bell rang, and everyone filed into the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The Emperor was in a state of low spirits today, listening to the ministers' reports with a feeble, perfunctory air. Behind the screen, Chu Qingmeng was truly sleepy, and soon fell asleep. She didn't want to listen to the constant chatter about the urgent battles on the border and the overflowing Xin'an Reservoir. Didn't Eleven have a lot of ideas? Let him figure it out on his own. She was sleepy.

Chu Qingmeng spent the entire morning court session in a dream. When the court session was about to end, she was about to slip away, but the emperor left her an oral instruction, asking her to wait in the Qianqing Palace.

Hey, I'm so sleepy, and I have to go to the Qianqing Palace! Quan Si handed her a pill, and Chu Qingmeng casually threw it into her mouth. "I've been feeling a lot more relaxed recently, and I seem to..." I sensed a hint of spiritual power. Chu Qingmeng didn't say the second half of the sentence.

"Yes, there is only one pill left, just take it again. I will remind you in three days." Quan Si stood behind Chu Qingmeng and replied softly.

Chu Qingmeng led Quan Si and Shuang Cheng directly into the Qianqing Palace. The emperor and Mo Chenfeng were already waiting in the inner hall. After Quan Si felt the patient's pulse, he began to administer acupuncture.

"An Ning, tell me the truth, how long will I have left?" The emperor closed his eyes and asked the question in his heart through the screen.

"Uncle Emperor, long live you." Chu Qingmeng chose to be vague. He couldn't let him know about his situation. If he died prematurely, everything would be difficult.

"Oh, it seems I don't have much time left. Otherwise, with An Ning's temper, why wouldn't she tell me the truth?" The emperor sighed and spoke again, "That's fine. However, An Ning, you've been attending court with me for over a month now. Today, could you please tell me what you saw?"
