The dried snow lotus is spherical in shape, dark gray in color, and has grayish-white hairs on its surface. It has high medicinal value. Jingxue covered the brocade box, handed it to Runyue, and said with a smile, "Please ask Physician Baili to convey my gratitude to my father!"

"Your Highness, you're too kind! It's no trouble at all." After saying this, Doctor Baili cupped his hands and left.

Because Wulintuya was to live in the East Palace, Princess Jingyi also returned to the Marquis's residence with Marquis Quyang and the others.

On the way back, Wanyan Junhao said, "Ye Muchen, how about I treat you two to drinks and barbecue tomorrow?"

Ye Muchen glanced at Jingxue and replied, "No problem. You'll be going back in a few days, so let's have a good drink!"

“Alright! It’s a deal, let’s do it tomorrow night!” Wanyan Junhao said.

"it is good!"

When they returned to Yichun Palace, Xiaoman and Liqiu had already prepared the dumpling filling and dough as instructed by Jingxue, and were just waiting to start making dumplings at midnight.

Jingxue returned to her bedroom, took off her outer clothes, and changed into casual clothes. Xiaoman and Liqiu began to remove her makeup and hair ornaments.

For some reason, Jingxue suddenly felt dizzy. Because of the two maids present, she didn't rush to go into her space to check on herself, thinking she would do so after removing her makeup.

But as soon as she placed her right hand on her left wrist, she actually fainted.

This terrified Xiaoman and Liqiu. "Miss, Miss!"

The two maids hurriedly got Jingxue onto the bed, and Liqiu rushed out.

Just as Ye Muchen changed into the clothes from his bundle, he heard the maid outside shouting, "Your Highness, something terrible has happened! Miss has fainted!"

"What happened?" Ye Muchen rushed out.

"This servant doesn't know what happened either! Please come and take a look! Xiaoman and I had just finished removing Miss's makeup when she fainted." Liqiu was almost incoherent.

Ye Muchen ran into Jingxue's room. Xiaoman was still calling Jingxue, but Jingxue didn't respond at all.

"Xiaoman, move aside a bit, the Prince is here!"

Ye Muchen walked over in a few steps and saw Jingxue lying on the bed as if she were asleep.

He checked Jingxue's breathing; it was normal.

Ye Muchen was momentarily at a loss for words. “You all watch over your young lady and take good care of her. I’m going to find the imperial physician, no, I’m going to find the divine physician Baili.”

Inside Yue'an Palace, the Emperor Emeritus had already sent his three children to bed. He and Physician Baili sat at the table, which was set with wine and dishes.

The Divine Physician Baili looked extremely uneasy. "Your Majesty, how can you expect me to drink this wine?"

"Today is New Year's Eve, and in two hours it will be next year! Why can't you drink?" The Emperor Emeritus picked up his small wine cup and took a sip.

"Do you think Mu Chen will come looking for me later?" Baili Zhan still hadn't touched his chopsticks.

"What do you want? Didn't you tamper with his clothes? The drug should be taking effect by now, right? If it doesn't work this time, don't call me a miracle doctor again!"

The retired emperor took a bite of the dish and exclaimed, "This green melon is so refreshing and delicious!"

Baili Zhan watched the retired emperor happily eating and drinking, then rubbed his forehead and said resentfully, "Whether he's a divine doctor or not is not something I asked them to call him. Anyway, if Mu Chen comes looking for me, I'll just say it was you who told me to do it!"

"You think you're all talk? I'd say I don't know!" The Emperor Emeritus shook his head smugly.

"Your Majesty, you can't do this!"

"What? Are you afraid you can't beat your own disciple?" The Emperor Emeritus was in a very good mood today and actually said to Baili Zhan with a smile.

"But the truth is that you asked me to do it. Princess Zhan herself is a highly skilled physician. I racked my brains to come up with the idea of ​​making her faint. Otherwise, she might have been able to counteract my medicine very quickly." Baili Zhan felt that he was being unfairly blamed.

"Alright, alright, things are as they are now. As long as they can consummate their marriage, then our efforts won't have been in vain. Let's have a drink!"

Baili Zhan “…”

Then Ye Muchen put on his coat and headed out, and Gao Chi wanted to follow, saying, "You stay here! Stay here with Ying Si and the other two to protect this place!"

"Yes!" Gao Chi replied.

Ye Muchen felt that Jingxue's condition might have been caused by Cangbei, but he wanted to check on Jingxue first to find out what was going on. It wouldn't be too late to find the person behind it after Jingxue woke up.

He leaped into the air, but just as he reached mid-air, he suddenly felt a surge of heat in his body, and his breathing became erratic, almost causing him to fall. He persevered and flew out of the East Palace.

Ye Muchen quickly realized he was under the influence of traditional Chinese medicine. He clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth to persevere.

Touching his sleeve, he suddenly understood what was going on.

From the moment her master gave Jingxue the brocade box to the changes in her body after she changed her clothes, it turned out that it was all the work of her father, the Emperor.

Ye Muchen felt his blood rushing to his head; his father was truly ruthless!

Upon arriving at Yue'an Palace, Ye Muchen landed directly in the courtyard. The golden-armored guards didn't move when they saw him, and the little eunuch guarding the gate was about to bow.

"No need to announce my arrival, I'll go in myself!" Ye Muchen's face was abnormally red at this moment, but fortunately the light was dim at night.

Upon entering the main hall, Ye Muchen saw two people sitting opposite each other at a table.

The two men knew he was coming; they were both martial artists and had some skill.

Upon hearing the commotion, Baili Zhan exclaimed, "Something's wrong! Mu Chen is here!"

The retired emperor said calmly, "It's the New Year, don't say 'no,' just come on over!"

Ye Muchen adjusted his breathing, stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Father, Xue'er has suddenly fainted. I have come to ask Master to come and take a look at Jingxue!"

The Emperor Emeritus put down his wine cup. "How could that be? Didn't that girl just make such a commotion in front of Mingyang Palace? Did she fall asleep from exhaustion?"

Ye Muchen gritted his teeth and said, "Father, you actually know everything. Please let Doctor Baili accompany me!"

"I can see you know everything, so don't worry! That girl will wake up tomorrow morning, so go back and take good care of her. Ah Zhan is going to drink with me tonight and won't be going anywhere! Go back and do what you're supposed to do." The Emperor Emeritus didn't even look at his son.

"Father!" Ye Muchen's eyes were red at this moment. He knelt down with a thud and kowtowed to the ground.

"Father, I beg you, let Master and I go and wake Jingxue up! I know that Master drugged her, or you can give me the antidote."

"Snapped!"

The Emperor Emeritus slammed his hand on the table, turned to Ye Muchen, and said loudly, "Didn't you understand what I said? Useless thing, it's been so long and you haven't even consummated your marriage. We're helping you, otherwise, that girl might fly away any day now. This is the only way to keep her."

Ye Muchen's head remained pressed against the ground; the cool ground helped him stay more awake.

"Father, I am useless, but I cannot consummate our marriage with Jingxue under these circumstances. I beg you one last time..."

"Get out! I don't want to see you again!" the Emperor Emeritus roared.
