Regent, please maintain your aloof image.

Fuyun Palace

Su Qianrou had just returned and hadn't even sat down when Yingfeng came in and said, "Your Highness, Prince Min has arrived and says he wants to see the Prince."

Su Qianrou chuckled, thinking to herself, "They've come really fast." She said, "Just tell them that the prince hasn't woken up yet and to go back first. If he insists on seeing me, then let him wait."

"Yes".

前殿

No sooner had Su Jing'an left than Mu Jingfeng entered.

A moment later, Yingfeng also came in. "Your humble servant greets Prince Min. Prince Min, my lord was busy until midnight last night and has not yet woken up. If Prince Min has nothing important to do, perhaps you could come later."

"I have come here on important business. Go and report to me."

"Please wait here for a moment, Your Highness."

Mu Jingfeng didn't say anything, picked up his teacup, and drank it slowly.

Fuyun Palace

Yingfeng approached Su Qianrou and said, "Your Highness, Prince Min refuses to leave and insists on seeing the Prince."

"Ignore him, just let him wait."

"In my opinion, he won't leave unless he sees the prince."

"As long as we can hold out until the prince wakes up, everything will be fine."

"Didn't Miss Qiulan say that the prince would wake up in just one or two hours? But two hours have passed and the prince still hasn't woken up. Could something have gone wrong?" Yingfeng couldn't help but worry.

"Let's wait a little longer."

"Yes".

Su Qianrou looked at Mu Jinchen, who was still unconscious, and thought to herself, "If you don't wake up soon, we won't be able to hide it anymore."

前殿

Time passed slowly, and Mu Jingfeng's patience gradually wore thin. Finally, he couldn't hold back any longer and angrily said, "It's been half an hour already, why hasn't the Regent arrived yet?"

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

"Is the Regent King playing a trick on me?"

"Your Highness is too kind. How could my lord possibly make fun of you?"

"That means you didn't report it."

"This humble servant dares not."

“Since the Regent is not coming, I will have to go find him myself,” he said, standing up and walking out.

Yingfeng intervened, saying, "Prince Min, this is inappropriate."

"Get out of the way."

"Please wait here, Your Highness."

"I said, get out of the way," Mu Jingfeng pushed Yingfeng aside and walked out.

Yingfeng hurriedly followed.

Fuyun Palace

Mu Jinchen has not woken up yet, and even Qiulan cannot find the reason.

Helpless, Su Qianrou had no choice but to try to wake him up, so she called out, "Your Highness, Your Highness."

Unfortunately, Mu Jinchen still did not react.

Just then, Yu Lian rushed in, "Your Highness, something terrible has happened! Min Wang is coming to Fuyun Palace!"

"You all go out quickly and block him at the door. Under no circumstances should you let him in."

"Yes".

Yu Lian and Qiu Lan then went out.

Su Qianrou climbed onto the bed, and just as she stepped past Mu Jinchen, Mu Jinchen slowly opened his eyes, froze for a moment, and stared blankly at her.

Seeing that he was awake, Su Qianrou was overjoyed, "You're finally awake."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Yingfeng and Mu Jingfeng's voices came from the courtyard.

“Prince Min, this is the Regent’s Palace. Aren’t you afraid that my master will blame you for such behavior?”

"I haven't even spoken to you yet. I have important matters to discuss with the Regent, but you're making excuses here. What are you trying to do? If this delays state affairs, can you take responsibility?"

Without a second thought, Su Qianrou lay down next to Mu Jinchen.

Mu Jinchen froze, staring blankly at her.

“Your Highness, please wait. Our Princess Consort is inside, so it is inconvenient for you to go in,” Yu Lian said, blocking Mu Jingfeng from entering.

"You said the Regent's wife was also inside."

"Yes".

"I have urgent business with the Regent, so I must go in," he said, pushing the door open and trying to force his way in.

Su Qianrou nudged Mu Jinchen, signaling him to speak quickly.

At this moment, Mu Jinchen also realized what was happening, "How dare you, Prince Min!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Jingfeng froze on the spot, thinking, "He's actually alright, could it not be him?"

"What brings Prince Min to trespass into my bedchamber?"

“My fifth brother has never missed the morning court session since he became regent, but he did not go today. I was worried that he was ill, so I came to see him.”

"I had no idea that Prince Min cared so much about me."

"No matter what, we are brothers, so it's only right that we care about each other."

"Thank you for your concern, Prince Min. I am quite well. If there is nothing else, Prince Min may return now."

"Now that I have already arrived at the door, shouldn't my fifth brother invite me in for a chat? Or is it that my fifth brother is not available to see me?"

"It's really inconvenient."

Mu Jingfeng's eyes lit up, and he was about to say something when he heard a woman's voice coming from inside.

"Who's here? Why is it so noisy?" Su Qianrou said lazily, pretending to have just woken up.

Mu Jinchen immediately understood, "I woke you up."

"Ok".

"Are you hungry? Do you want to get up and eat something?"

"Not hungry, just sleepy."

"Then sleep a little longer."

"Hmm," Su Qianrou actually closed her eyes.

Mu Jinchen stared at her, seemingly lost in thought, until Yingfeng spoke, which brought him back to his senses.

“Prince Min, why don’t you go back first?”

"Yingfeng, see Prince Min out. We can discuss anything else tomorrow."

"Yes... Prince Min, please."

Mu Jingfeng pondered for a moment before turning and leaving.

Then, Qiulan and Yulian quickly went inside.

Yu Lian exclaimed in surprise, "Your Highness, you're awake!"

Mu Jinchen gestured for him to be quiet because Su Qianrou was asleep, and then waved for them to leave.

Yu Lian and Qiu Lan then went outside.

Mu Jinchen noticed a strand of hair falling on Su Qianrou's face, so he brushed it aside for her and then quietly looked at her, a slight smile involuntarily curving his lips.

Later, when they went to the study, Yingfeng told him everything that had happened after he fell into a coma.

"You mean, Qiulan knows medicine."

"Yes, and it looks really impressive."

Mu Jinchen couldn't help but think of Liu Chengjun, remembering that he had once said that Su Qianrou had given him a second chance at life, which made him wonder, "And then what?"

"Then the princess stayed by your bedside all night and didn't sleep a wink."

No wonder she fell asleep so quickly; she was really tired. A warm feeling welled up in Mu Jinchen's heart.

"Later, the Princess Consort sent her subordinates to the palace to ask for leave for you, saying that you had slept too late last night and could not get up, so you did not attend the morning court. When Prince Min found out, he asked His Majesty to send the imperial physician to take a look. However, it was Lord Su who brought Imperial Physician Wang. The Princess Consort dismissed Imperial Physician Wang with a few words. Then, the Princess Consort and Lord Su chatted for a while. Not long after, Lord Su also went back. As a result, no sooner had Lord Su left than Prince Min arrived and insisted on seeing you. The Princess Consort told him to wait in the front hall. Prince Min waited for half an hour but could not wait any longer and insisted on barging into Fuyun Hall. Fortunately, the Prince woke up in time, otherwise the secret would not have been kept."

After understanding the situation, Mu Jinchen began to arrange the work. Now that he had obtained conclusive evidence, Prince Min had no chance of turning the tables. It was time to completely eliminate him and his cronies to prevent them from causing further chaos in the court.
