Regent, please maintain your aloof image.

Prince Min's Mansion

In the study, Mu Jingfeng was waiting for the results.

A moment later, Xu Hao walked in, "Your Highness."

"how".

"Your Highness, we haven't found it yet."

"Not even a single word?"

"no".

Mu Jingfeng was silent for a moment, then asked, "What about the Regent's Palace? Is there any movement?"

"No."

"I remember that the Regent's Palace does not have a physician."

"Yes".

Mu Jingfeng frowned, and after thinking for a moment, said, "Continue to keep a close eye on each residence. If anyone comes out to find the imperial physician or doctor, kill them without exception, especially the Regent's residence."

"Yes".

Regent's House

Su Qianrou didn't go home all night, staying here the whole time. When she couldn't resist the drowsiness, she leaned against the bed for a nap.

Yingfeng entered and called out softly, "Your Highness."

Su Qianrou slowly opened her eyes and subconsciously asked, "Your Highness is awake." As she spoke, she looked at Mu Jinchen and saw that his complexion was slowly recovering, so she felt relieved.

"no".

"What's the matter?"

"It's almost time for the morning court session, but the prince is still not awake. What should we do?"

“Go and ask for leave for the prince. Tell him that the prince was busy until very late last night and is too tired to get up now, so he will not be attending court today.”

"Yes," Yingfeng replied and turned to leave. However, before she had taken two steps, she heard Yingfeng say, "By the way, call Qiulan here."

"Yes".

A moment later, Qiulan walked in, "Your Highness."

"When will the prince wake up?"

"It will probably take another hour or two."

"Okay, you can go now."

"Yes," Qiulan said and left.

Su Qianrou sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Mu Jinchen, thinking to herself, "You certainly know how to cause me trouble."

Fengtian Hall

"His Majesty has arrived."

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Regent! Long live the Regent!"

"The Imperial Uncle did not come today."

The ministers then realized what was happening, and they were already used to it, since Mu Jinchen had never been absent from work in the past two years. So they just blurted it out.

"My beloved subjects, rise."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"If you have something to report, please do so; if you have nothing to report, please leave the court."

Mu Jingfeng came out and asked, "Your Majesty, why is the Regent not here?"

"The Imperial Uncle sent someone to ask for leave, saying that he couldn't get up."

"But he's sick."

"No, it's just that I was too tired last night, so I couldn't get up."

Mu Jingfeng naturally didn't believe it. "The Regent has always been diligent in governing and loves his people. How could he be too tired to get up and even skip the morning court session?"

“Your Highness is right, the Regent is not that kind of person,” Duke Mingguo echoed.

"Your Majesty, I believe we should send an imperial physician to take a look," Mu Jingfeng said, seizing the opportunity.

"I second that. The Regent is the pillar of our Yunyue. His health is related to the safety of Yunyue. Therefore, he must not be taken lightly."

"I also think that we should send an imperial physician to take a look."

"My dear ministers, you are overthinking this. My uncle is fine. He has just gotten married and is still in the honeymoon phase, so this is not hard to understand."

Mu Jingfeng was still unwilling to give up. "Your Majesty, I think it would be more prudent to send an imperial physician to take a look."

Seeing him like this, Prince Qing couldn't help but glance at him a few more times, but he didn't say anything.

Su Jing'an came out and said, "Your Majesty, since everyone is worried, why don't I take the imperial physician to the Regent's Palace to take a look?"

"Your Majesty, I should take the imperial physician with me. It just so happens that I have something to discuss with the Regent."

"Let Lord Su go instead. Lord Su is the Imperial Uncle's father-in-law, so he should be more worried about the Imperial Uncle than Prince Min. As for Prince Min, if things are not urgent, we can talk about it tomorrow."

"Yes".

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Alright, if there's nothing else, let's adjourn the court."

"Farewell to Your Majesty."

After the court session ended, the Duke of Ming approached Mu Jingfeng and said, "Your Highness, I heard that a thief broke into the Prince Min's residence last night."

"Ok".

"Has the thief been caught?"

"no".

"Does Your Highness have doubts about the Regent?"

“In the entire Yunyue, very few people can escape from my palace, and even fewer in the capital. I can’t think of anyone else besides him.”

"What are Your Highness's plans next?"

“The man I injured yesterday was also poisoned on his sword. Even if he is not dead now, he is not far from death. Therefore, as long as we go to the Regent’s Palace, we will know if it is him.”

"This humble official will accompany you."

"No need, I can go myself."

"it is good".

Regent's House

With two hours about to pass and Mu Jinchen still not awake, Su Qianrou couldn't help but get anxious. "Qiu Lan, are you sure everything is alright?"

"Your Highness, the Prince is out of danger."

"Then why hasn't he woken up yet?"

"It should be soon, Your Highness, please wait a little longer."

Su Qianrou thought to herself that there was no other way but to wait.

At this moment, Yingfeng came in and said, "Your Highness, Lord Su has arrived."

"My dad".

"right".

"What is my father doing here?"

"Lord Su has brought the imperial physician."

Su Qianrou thought of something and asked, "Where is my father now?"

"Front Hall".

So, Su Qianrou went out.

Then, we arrived at the front hall.

Su Jing'an and Imperial Physician Wang immediately stood up, bowed, and said, "Greetings, Your Highness."

"No need for formalities," he said, then asked, "Why has Father come?"

"The court officials were worried about the prince and feared that he was ill, so His Majesty asked me to bring the imperial physician to take a look."

"I'm sorry to have worried Your Majesty and all the officials. It's all my fault. I saw that the Prince was handling official business until late last night, and he hasn't had a proper rest these past few days, so I secretly asked for leave for him, thinking that he could get some more sleep. I never expected that it would cause Your Majesty and all the officials to worry."

"Nonsense! How dare you make decisions for the Prince on your own?"

Su Qianrou said with a wronged expression, "I just wanted Your Highness to sleep a little longer."

“You…” Su Jing’an looked at her with uncontrollable rage.

"Lord Su, there is no need to be angry. The Princess Consort is only thinking of the Prince's health, which is understandable."

"I'm sorry, Doctor Wang, you've made a wasted trip."

"What are you saying, Lord Su? The prince's well-being is more important than anything else."

"What Physician Wang says is true."

"Your Highness, since the Prince is not ill, I shall take my leave now."

"Alright, Physician Wang, please take care."

After he left, Su Jing'an was no longer angry and asked anxiously, "How is the prince?"

"As expected, I couldn't hide it from my father."

"You are my daughter, how could I not understand you?"

"The prince is out of danger, but he hasn't woken up yet, so Father, you don't need to worry."

"What exactly happened?"

“I don’t know either. I was already asleep last night when Yingfeng came to me and said that the prince was seriously injured. Later I found out that the prince had been poisoned by the poison. Fortunately, Qiulan was able to detoxify him, otherwise, the prince probably wouldn’t be alive now.”

"Did you know that a thief broke into Prince Min's mansion last night?"

"I don't know," Su Qianrou really didn't know about this.

"It is said that something very important was lost, so last night Prince Min ordered a large-scale search in the city, which caused quite a stir."

No wonder it was so noisy outside last night. So that's why. But at the time, Su Qianrou's mind was on Mu Jinchen, so she didn't pay much attention.

"The imperial physician was sent by His Majesty at the behest of Prince Min, so he must have some suspicions. You should prepare in advance, as I estimate he will come in person."

"Okay, thank you, Dad."

“Prince Min is not easy to fool, so be careful.”

"I know".

"Then I'll go first."

"I'll take you there."

"No need, you go and take care of the prince."

"it is good".

Then, the two went out; however, Su Jing'an went back to the Su family, while Su Qianrou went to Fuyun Palace.
