Saving the foolish general, she accidentally becomes his favorite.

Ye Li paused after hearing this.

She whispered to Mo Chen:

"There's something going on with Xuanyuanming..."

Mo Chen already knew that Ye Li could communicate with animals.

But seeing this scene again now still surprises me greatly.

My lady, this seems to be...

Did they use birds to gather intelligence?

But he trusted her and naturally cherished her.

Mo Chen didn't think there was anything wrong with his wife having a skill.

The more skills one has to make a living, the better.

He calmly said:

"No matter what happens, I will protect you."

Ye Li was taken aback. Actually, she had just discovered some gossip about Xuan Yuanming and wanted to share it with Mo Chen.

Unexpectedly, Mo Chen suddenly made such a solemn promise.

The general's protective instincts are truly everywhere...

Ye Li felt that the more she understood Mo Chen, the better she realized how good he really was.

very good.

Sitting on her horse, Ye Li watched the people coming and going on the road, all in a hurry.

The world is vast, and the world is full of people. How fortunate we are to meet the right person at the right time.

She whispered the latest gossip:

"Lu Wanning went to Bailong Temple. She wanted to seduce Xuanyuan Ming by dancing, but someone beat her to it."

"A mysterious woman danced before the Emperor in front of Lu Wanning, stealing her thunder. But interestingly, after the mysterious woman left, she left behind a shoe..."

At this point, Ye Li suddenly woke up!

Yes!

Shoes! This clue...

How familiar it is.

Is it possible...

Ye Li suddenly thought of something, but she wasn't sure yet, so she couldn't draw a conclusion.

Ye Li, leaning against Mo Chen, said:

"I've noticed a coincidence, I wonder if it's..."

Ye Li had no evidence, so she decided to leave it at that for now.

"Sigh, let's observe for a while longer!"

Mo Chen held her and comforted her:

"There are many factions in the capital. Now that the Empress is pregnant, different factions naturally have their own plans. We just need to protect ourselves."

Mo Chen thought she was scared, so he changed the subject:

“What can compare to our wedding these days? I just want you to be married off properly and have a grand and glorious ceremony.”

Ye Li couldn't help but smile as she thought about all the preparations Mo Chen had made.

"Yes, yes, General, you are meticulous and have made perfect arrangements."

"I just need to wait to become the happiest bride in the world."

The two discussed things along the way and soon arrived at the royal palace of Tian Shu Kingdom.

Because they were entering the palace by imperial decree, the guards quickly let them through.

The eunuch led Ye Li at a brisk pace toward the Ni Chang Palace.

But an accident happened halfway there.

As they walked through the palace, they came across a pavilion where many concubines were sitting.

The one in the very center, surrounded by the crowd, was clearly the best among them.

The woman in the center then asked:

"Eunuch Huang, you seem to be in a hurry. Where are you going?"

The eunuch Huang, who led Ye Li into the palace, said obsequiously:

"Your Highness, this is Physician Mu's disciple. This servant brought her into the palace to examine the Empress's pulse and ensure a safe pregnancy."

Then the eunuch introduced Ye Li to:

"This is the Imperial Concubine."

Consort Li asked in surprise:

"So you are the disciple of the Divine Physician Mu. I had long heard that you saved the people from suffering during the previous plague. Now that I see you, you are truly beautiful and kind-hearted. I felt an instant connection with you."

Faced with the familiar manner of this Imperial Concubine, Ye Li remained neither humble nor overbearing. She bowed gracefully and said modestly:

"I am honored by Your Majesty's praise. I only managed to do some good deeds by chance, under the guidance of my master. I am truly unworthy of Your Majesty's high praise."

Seeing her humble attitude, Consort Li couldn't help but scrutinize her carefully; her answer was comprehensive yet left no room for criticism.

This woman is more complex than I imagined.

Consort Li said gently:

“Miss Mu, there’s no need to be so modest. Everyone knows that Doctor Mu is highly skilled in medicine. As his disciple and adopted daughter, you must be exceptionally talented.”

The concubine beside Consort Li, seeing the Imperial Concubine praising Mu Nianchen so highly, flattered her:

"Hasn't Her Highness been feeling unwell these past few days? Since we've happened to run into Miss Mu, why don't we ask Miss Mu to take a look at Her Highness?"

Once someone spoke up, the remaining concubines chimed in, suggesting that Ye Li take the Imperial Concubine's pulse.

How could Eunuch Huang dare to offend these noble people, especially one of them, who was second only to the Empress in favor of the concubine?

So Eunuch Huang turned around and invited him with a forced smile:

"Miss Mu is truly blessed. She has only just entered the palace and has already been appreciated by a noble person. This way, please..."

Ye Li looked at him and thought to herself: This blessing is for you, do you want it?

Now that the enemy has come, Ye Li is taking it easy and nodded:

"Since Your Highness has extended such a generous invitation, it would be impolite of me to refuse. If there is anything I have done improperly, please forgive me."

Consort Li sighed jokingly:

"It's nothing serious, just that the sisters are making a mountain out of a molehill. If you have time, you can take a look."

Looking at this group of beautiful women, Ye Li truly understood what a femme fatale was.

Your show of force clearly indicates that you've set a trap for me.

Ye Li dared not waste any time, after all, her original plan was to meet the Empress.

She quickly stepped forward and reached out to take Consort Li's pulse.

A moment later, Ye Li's pupils widened in disbelief. What was she doing...?

Seeing her rather deep expression, Consort Li frowned and asked:

"But what's the problem?"

Ye Li looked at Consort Li and said:

"You've been poisoned."

Consort Li repeated haltingly, as if she had heard a joke:

"Poisoned?"

Ye Li nodded, confirming again:

"Yes, highly poisonous."

Consort Li felt a chill run down her spine and shuddered!

She asked incredulously:

"How could this be?! Who poisoned them? What kind of poison?"

Ye Li shook her head. "I don't know who poisoned it, but it must have been from the mouth, so it seeped into the internal organs."

Consort Li understood in an instant...

Who else but that person would dare to poison me?

In an instant, anger and despair filled Consort Li.

She was so angry that her fists trembled.

They actually capsized in the gutter, how despicable!

hateful!

Consort Li asked:

"Please, divine healer, what kind of poison is this? Can you help me detoxify?"

Ye Li looked at her:

"Okay, but..."

"I have conditions..."
