The Embroidery Palace.
Imperial Concubine De was elegantly dressed in luxurious clothing. Her phoenix steps swayed in the wind, occasionally emitting a crisp and melodious sound.
This morning, I heard that after leaving the Skyheart Jin Dynasty, instead of returning to the King's Mansion, I followed the Emperor to the Heartrest Palace.
For this reason, Consort De had already sent people from the palace out to wait for him. As soon as the Duke of Jin came out, he was invited to the brocade palace. It was said that the consort missed her son.
In the time it took to make a cup of tea, it had already passed.
Outside the embroidered palace, the young eunuch's shrill voice finally rang out. "Prince, the Empress is waiting for you inside."

Consort De was now seated on a carved wooden chair.
Upon entering the door, he saw his mother. Tianxin Jin bowed and clasped her hands in greeting to the Consort, "My son pays his respects to mufei, mufei Jinan!"
When Consort De saw that her son had grown a lot taller, she felt happy and quickly ordered a palace maid to serve tea to the Heavenly Heart Aura.
"Jin'er, it's been three months since mufei last saw you. Look at how handsome our Jin'er has become, it's time to get married and have kids." Although she knew Mu Rong Qing Yan was a shameless child, she was still satisfied with the marriage set down by the Emperor. The Marquis Xia Yu had followed the late emperor to fight for his life, so his daughter's discipline must be really good!
Speaking of marriage, the half-smile on Tianxin Jin's face suddenly lost all color. She took a sip of her tea and remained silent. He knew that his mufei had always been very supportive of his marriage to Mu Rong Qing Yan. However, an hour ago, he personally spoke with the emperor about this matter at the Heartbreak Palace, and hoped that the marriage date would be delayed. The emperor had silently agreed to this because of this, and for a sufficient reason, his Xia Yu's manor's daughter was' afflicted with an evil illness' that required him to take care of her body. If Consort De found out about this, he would definitely nag endlessly!
Seeing that Tianxin Jin had remained silent, Consort De smiled and said, "Jin'er, don't blame mufei for being too talkative. Mufei is old, I would like to see you lose your mind in the morning and continue the line for our royal family. As the second day of next month approached, mufei was really happy! " Consort De was truly happy from the bottom of her heart. She had waited far too long for this day to come.
"Mufei is still young. If she were to follow her son out, those who don't know will definitely think you're my sister!" Tianxin Jin still hadn't told her mother about this matter. After today, if mufei wanted to know, she would know. How long could she keep the matters of this palace hidden from her mother?
Consort De's mood was elated by the Heavenly Heart Jade and she left it for lunch. However, the Heavenly Heart Jade rejected it on the grounds that it was too heavy a task!
Four Seasons Tower.
Ever since she heard Mrs Ma and her daughter's conversation yesterday, she hadn't slept the entire night. She tossed and turned, thinking of ways to deal with this matter. I wonder if this Xiahou agrees?
Just as he was thinking, he heard voices from outside the Four Seasons Tower. From the sound of it, there were more than one or two people who had come.
Who would come to the Four Seasons Tower so early in the morning?
"Second Madam is so lucky." From outside, the greetings of Spring Rain, Summer Bug could be heard. Only then did Mu Rong Qing Yan know that Ma Shi had come.
She still hadn't thought of an idea to deal with Mrs Ma's shady schemes, but Mrs Ma herself had come looking for her first. Mu Rong Qing Yan thought that this wasn't good. This father definitely didn't agree. Mrs Ma brought so many people here, could it be ? Mu Rong Qing Yan didn't dare think further. No matter what, she was still the first daughter of the Xia Yu's manor. They wouldn't dare to harm him so blatantly, would they? She wasn't sure.
"Spring Rain... "Spring Rain..." Mu Rong Qing Yan didn't dare think any further. He called in her current most trustworthy person, her personal servant, Chun Yu.
Spring Rain was outside the house, dealing with Second Madam. When she heard her young miss calling her, she let Summer Bug greet Second Madam first before entering the house to see his young mistress.
Once they entered the room, Mu Rong Qing Yan told Chun Yu to shut the door tightly. She then lowered her voice, "Chun Yu, come here quickly. You must remember what I'm about to tell you. Do you remember? "
When Spring Rain heard this, her heart trembled in fear. She frowned in disbelief. However, the young miss had always been very good to her and would never lie to her! She nodded. "Miss, don't worry. Spring Rain will remember."
"Mm. Go." Mu Rong Qing Yan smiled. Even if he didn't have a forceful body now, he at least had the mentality of a modern man. How hard would it be to deal with you ancient people? As long as he could find someone he could suppress! The right medicine!
Chun Yu opened the door and the Second Madam brought the six girls who came with her into Mu Rong Qing Yan's room. Chun Yu, seeing that Mrs Ma was bullying her, used her weak body to stop her, "Second Madam, Miss is still resting. You should wait outside."
The girls by Mrs Ma's side weren't ordinary people. Seeing that Chun Yu was stopping her, they forcefully pushed her away. Chun Yu was still young, and couldn't withstand the force and fell down onto her back. Just like that, Madame Ma's men entered the house.
Mu Rong Qing Shan coughed a few times and said unhurriedly: "Aunt is here. Chun Yu, why is Aunt not able to say anything when she's here? Hurry up and make some tea? "
With an expressionless face and strict manner, it was completely unlike Mu Rong Qing Yan's from before. Mrs Ma was also stunned by her current determination! It also made her remember the pain she had suffered a few days ago!
Chun Yu responded and quickly got up from the ground before heading out of the house.
Mrs Ma walked in front of Mu Rong Qing Yan's wooden bed and brought a round stool over for her.
A devilish smile appeared on her face as she sat down. "Yan'er, aunty heard from someone below that you fainted in the garden a few days ago. Are you feeling better?"
As expected, there was no wall that could not let the wind escape.
Other than the people from the Four Seasons Tower who knew about this, only the Duke of Jin would bring him back. How could she know?
"Auntie, you're worried. Yan'er is fine, she's just a little cold, so it's not a big deal." Mu Rong Qing Yan had a smile on his face as he called her 'concubine'. However, deep down, he already hated her to the bones. A person who wanted to harm him and wanted to show his concern in front of him; how hypocritical do you think that was? But since the play had already begun, why didn't she pretend to continue acting?
Mrs Ma also smiled pitifully as she took Mu Rong Qing Yan's hand and placed it on her palm, "Yan'er, the day your mother passed away, Aunt also treated you as her own daughter. How could this Aunt not feel sorry for you when she knew you had a cold? " As Mrs Ma said this, she released Mu Rong Qing Yan's hand and turned around to look at the little girl who had just pushed away the spring rain.
The little girl immediately understood Mrs Ma's intentions, and took a night's worth of dark items from the maidservant behind her, passing it over to her.
As she looked at the black bowl of food that Mrs Ma had received, her intuition told her that there was definitely something wrong with the bowl. However, they had so many people, so what should she do now?
"Yan'er, this is the medicine for dispelling the cold wind that I specially ordered. Come here, I'll feed it to you. Drink it. After a few days, you'll recover from your illness and you can finally marry me and go to the Jin palace." Mrs Ma pushed the bowl full of what she called 'dispelling the cold wind' medicine. She scooped a spoonful and blew lightly on it, sending it towards Mu Rong Qing Yan's mouth.
How could Mrs Ma be such a coincidence? How could she be so kind as to deliver medicine to her eyes? There must be something wrong with this bowl of medicine.
She laughed coldly a few times. "Auntie, I'll drink by myself. Aunt is worried about me, so she came to see me. Yan`er is naturally happy, but now that Yan`er is sick, how dare I trouble you to feed her?" As Mu Rong Qing Yan said this, she extended her hand, intending to receive the bowl from Mrs Ma.
But how could Mrs. Ma not know what Mu Rong Qing Yan was planning? She moved her hand that was holding the medicine bowl towards her body, still smiling lightly: "Sigh ?" Why are you being polite to an aunt, child? "Come on, open your mouth. Auntie will feed you." Mrs Ma scooped another spoonful of the soup into Mu Rong Qing Yan's mouth.
