The abandoned concubine who transmigrated woke up shouting "Long live the widow!"

Ye Muchen knew his father's temper well; it was impossible for his master to leave with him.

He stood up and walked out without saying goodbye for the first time. Behind him came the voice of the retired emperor: "The imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital are all on holiday tonight and have gone home!"

Ye Muchen gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and walked out of the main hall of Yue'an Palace step by step.

Baili Zhan didn't say a word the whole time, watching his apprentice's back with heartache.

"What are you looking at? It's time to drink, isn't it?" The Emperor Emeritus's expression wasn't very good either.

"No, Your Majesty, why do we have to do this? Wouldn't it be better to let the young couple take their own time?"

The Emperor Emeritus put down his chopsticks. "Do you think I wanted to do this? That girl has never been content to live with Mu Chen. She even told me in front of me that she wanted a divorce. If she were an ordinary woman, our royal family would have let her go. But she is a lucky star!"

"Why did I abdicate early? It's because I didn't trust the Emperor. I wanted to train him for a few more years, support him, and make the Northern Ye empire more stable so that I could face our ancestors in peace!"

"But after two years of drought, the people are short of food, and the civil officials are actually targeting the army, wanting to reduce its size. How can that be allowed? You've seen it yourself, this girl has produced grain seeds and brought out many good things. Isn't she a lucky star? How can I let her go?"

Baili Zhan sighed, said nothing, picked up the wine glass in front of him, and drank it all in one gulp.

"The court is also in turmoil. On the surface, everything seems calm, but the Jingzhiyuan incident was clearly orchestrated by someone. Their intentions are obvious when they target such a key minister!"

"Furthermore, do you really think Cangbei is here to discuss border trade? That's just a pretext. They're here to test us. Without Jing Zhiyuan in charge of the border, I'm always uneasy. Even when we were negotiating border trade, it was only after Jing Xue went there that we finalized the main details. The greenhouses Jing Xue grows and the goods in her shops are very attractive to Cangbei, but they don't dare to make any rash moves because we have a Princess Consort who can kill tigers."

"Your Majesty, there is something I have not yet mentioned. When I was traveling in the Jiangnan region, I discovered that some places were selling official positions. Although they were all minor positions, they cost tens of thousands of taels of silver. A county magistrate could be obtained for about fifty thousand taels," Baili Zhan said.

“Normal! How could such a large place as Beiye not have a few rats and bedbugs? I know that the lower-ranking officials have connections with some officials in the court. Let’s deal with it slowly!” The Emperor Emeritus said with a frown.

Baili Zhan still had Ye Muchen on his mind. He gave Ye Muchen a "pleasure powder" that he had prepared himself, a drug that was enough to make Ye Muchen suffer.

When Ye Muchen returned to Yichun Palace, he startled Gao Chi and the others; his eyes were wide open like a rabbit's.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?" Gao Chi asked anxiously.

"Stop asking. I'm going to check on the Queen. Prepare a bucket of cool water for me; I need to take a bath!"

"Your Majesty..."

"Go quickly!" Ye Muchen whispered.

"Yes!"

Ye Muchen wanted to go see Jingxue, but he couldn't control himself. He staggered back to his room, changed out of the clothes, and wore only his white undergarment.

"Your Highness, the water is here!" Gao Chi and Ying Si carried in a wooden bucket.

"Put it down! You may all leave! Don't come in unless I call you. If the Princess needs anything, report it immediately!"

"Yes!" The two put the bucket down.

"Take that outfit out and burn it!" Ye Muchen practically roared.

The two responded and took the clothes and went out.

That night, Jingxue kept having dreams, some modern and some ancient, some with her father and grandfather, and some with people who had traveled through time to be around her.

Ye Muchen, on the other hand, really put him through the wringer. For someone who had never tasted meat before, being given aphrodisiacs made him suffer immensely.

When soaking in cold water didn't work, he tried to treat it himself several times, but by dawn the effects of the medicine finally wore off.

Ye Muchen also caught a cold and developed a high fever.

When Jingxue woke up, she opened her eyes and saw Xiaoman sleeping by her bedside.

Leap Month and Beginning of Autumn also fell asleep leaning against their chairs.

She recalled what happened last night and realized that she had fainted. It must have been the strange fragrance in the dried snow lotus box that had bewitched her.

The Divine Physician Baili? No, it should be that old man, the Retired Emperor. What is that old geezer up to?

Jingxue stirred, and Xiaoman immediately woke up. Seeing Jingxue with her eyes open, she burst into tears, "Miss, Miss, you're finally awake! You scared me to death!"

"It's the first day of the lunar month, don't cry! It's bad luck!" Jingxue said with a smile, although her head still hurt a little.

At this moment, Leap Month and Beginning of Autumn also woke up and gathered around.

"Alright! I won't cry anymore! Miss, how are you? Is anything bothering you?"

Jingxue shook her head. "I'm fine! You should all go back to sleep too!"

Runyue said, "Miss, the Prince's side has been in turmoil all night. I saw Brother Gao and Fourth Brother carrying cold water and boiling water all the time!"

Xiaoman continued, "Miss, after you fainted last night, the Prince was very worried and told us to take good care of you. He said he was going to find Physician Baili, but not only did he not find him, but the Prince also didn't come back after returning. It seems... it seems there's something wrong with the clothes Physician Baili gave the Prince. The Prince..."

Although Xiaoman didn't finish speaking, Jingxue already understood what was going on!

The Emperor Emeritus is trying to force her and Ye Muchen to have sex! That old geezer is really ruthless!

Ye Muchen was a gentleman and did not take advantage of the situation, which moved Jingxue.

"How is the prince doing?"

"I don't know, and it's not convenient for us to go there!" Xiaoman said.

"You've all worked hard! Go back to your rooms and get some rest. I'll go check on the Prince in a bit." Jingxue sat up.

"Miss, are you sure you don't need to have us servants take care of you?" Xiaoman was still a little worried. She had cried a lot last night, and she remembered the scene when her mistress fainted at the beginning of autumn.

"I'm really fine! You guys go to sleep! We're not in a rush to eat today!"

"Yes!" Xiaoman and the other two went out.

Jingxue entered the space and checked herself. She found that there was nothing wrong with her body at the moment.

The medical skills of Doctor Baili are truly superb.

After leaving the space, Jingxue put on an outer coat, took the medicine box, and went to Ye Muchen's room.

Just then, Ying Wu pushed open the door and came out. Seeing Jing Xue, he hurriedly said, "Miss, are you alright? The Prince is saying he's cold right now, so I'm going to go and get another charcoal brazier!"

"I'm fine! You can go now!"

Jingxue entered the room. Gao Chi and Ying Si were guarding Ye Muchen's bedside. There was already a charcoal brazier in the room, and Ye Muchen's white undergarment was being roasted next to it.

Gao Chi saw Jing Xue looking tired and said, "Your Highness, the Prince seems to have caught a cold, the Prince..."

"Gao Chi!" Ye Muchen stopped him in a hoarse voice.
