Sometimes things are just coincidences, and sometimes they are so difficult to fathom. Despite believing in Xia Ziqian's medical skills, Mo Xiao Li felt heavy-hearted as she held Mu Junqi's body, looking at her still pale face, feeling immense pain and wishing she could bear the suffering for her.
Since Mu Junqi was in a coma, Mo Xiao Li could only stay in the General's residence. Zuo Yunqing was responsible for investigating the matter, while Xia Ziqian and others were busy in the side hall developing the antidote. One corpse after another was carried out, making Mo Xiao Li's expression even more grim.
Now it was the second day of Mu Junqi's coma. If the antidote could not be found, it would be difficult to get through the night. Just when Mo Xiao Li was at a loss, Xia Ziqian walked in, still calm and elegant, showing no signs of fatigue from the long night.
"Has the antidote been developed?"
"Replying to Your Majesty, everything is ready. As long as this medicine is given to Her Highness, there will be no problem," Xia Ziqian said respectfully, taking out a white porcelain bottle from his bosom and handing it over. Li Fusheng immediately reached out to take it.
Mo Xiao Li did not say a word; she just silently watched him. After he finished speaking, she stood up and coldly addressed Li Fusheng beside her: "Li Fusheng, take this medicine to the Empress's chamber. We will return to the Palace. Once the Empress wakes up, we will immediately return to the Palace. Do you understand?" With that, she strode away.
Li Fusheng looked puzzled at the medicine bottle in his hand and then at Mo Xiao Li as she left, shaking his head. At that moment, Xia Ziqian spoke up: "Master Li, this medicine must be taken with warm water. Even if Her Highness cannot swallow it, you must continue to administer it; otherwise, all efforts will be in vain."
Li Fusheng then realized what he needed to do. After listening to Xia Ziqian's words, he slightly bowed and said: "We will go feed your Highness the medicine right away." He called Mur over and explained what needed attention before they left together.
Meanwhile, Mo Xiao Li took a deep breath in the courtyard, thinking about how Mu Junqi had safely passed through this ordeal and immediately felt relieved. However, recalling Mu Junqi's words during her delirium made her fists clench unconsciously.
Three days later...
Mu Junqi had awakened but still felt somewhat fatigued. Xia Ziqian took care of her daily and personally prepared medicine. Mu Junqi felt as if she were living in an unreal dream of happiness.
Since it was a dream, there would surely come a day of awakening. Li Fusheng came to the General's residence to see her as usual, but this time he brought an imperial decree stating that they must return to the Palace today without exception.
Despite her strong reluctance to Return to the Palace, since it was an imperial decree, how could she defy it? Mur tidied up and then came to the room to find Mu Junqi.
"Your Highness, everything is ready. Let's Return to the Palace now," Mur said.
Mu Junqi looked at Mur with a blank expression and nodded weakly, allowing her to groom and dress her. After two days of recuperation, her complexion had improved significantly.
Just after they finished tidying up, Zuo Yunqing walked in, bowed to her, and said, "Your Highness, the Emperor has sent someone to escort you back to the Palace for your recovery."
Mu Junqi said nothing but walked past him with Mur's support, slowly moving forward. Perhaps in Mu Junqi's eyes, anyone related to Mo Xiao Li was considered her enemy.
For three whole days, Mo Xiao Li had not rested properly, always worrying about Mu Junqi's health. Upon hearing that she was finally better, he couldn't wait to take her back to the Palace.
What everyone did not know was that at this moment in Guang'an Palace, Consort Qian was plotting a conspiracy with Pear...
As soon as Mu Junqi returned to the Palace, she was directly sent to Yun Jin Palace. Looking at the resplendent hall and the guards surrounding it, she let out a cold laugh.
At that moment, Mo Xiao Li happened to walk in and went straight to Mu Junqi's side, casually saying, "How is my Empress doing now?"
Due to her condition, Mu Junqi did not rise to pay her respects but smiled and replied, "Thank you for your concern, Consort. I suppose I'm not going to die just yet."
Looking at her half-smiling face, Mo Xiao Li struggled to suppress his urge to tear apart the person before him. Taking a deep breath, he said angrily, "Escort the Empress back to her quarters. No one is allowed to step out without my command!"
"Is Your Majesty placing Consort under house arrest? Anyone would treat an innocent person better than this," Mu Junqi retorted sarcastically. With Mur's help, she stood up and was about to leave when Mo Xiao Li spoke again: "Mu Junqi, this is your last challenge to my bottom line. Today, considering your recent illness, I will let it go. But if..." Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Mu Junqi.
"But if there is a next time, you will kill Consort, right?" After saying this, she left without looking back.
Watching Mu Junqi leave, Mo Xiao Li felt as if her chest was about to explode. This woman was so difficult to tame, but she would never let her go in this lifetime.
After leaving Yun Jin Palace, Mu Junqi had beads of sweat forming on her forehead. She weakly leaned against Mur and struggled to move forward.
Mur looked at her with concern, feeling heartbroken for her. He worried that if this continued, the Emperor would truly punish her, so he whispered, "Your Highness, you must try to appease the Emperor a little in the future, or else it will implicate everyone."
Mu Junqi merely scoffed and said as she sat in the Phoenix Palanquin, "Implicate them? So what? Aren't they the ones who created all this? I pity them; who will pity me?" After saying this, she squinted her eyes and pretended to sleep.
Seeing this, Mur understood that no matter what he said, she wouldn't listen. He quietly followed beside her because after all these years, he knew better than anyone what kind of person she was. Her reckless defiance against the Emperor must be a desperate attempt to seek liberation.
Before long, they returned to Jingxian Palace. As soon as they got off the Phoenix Palanquin, the palace eunuchs and maidens were already kneeling in welcome. Upon seeing her, they all called out in unison, "Empress, auspiciousness! We welcome Empress back to the Palace."
Mu Junqi glanced around at everyone and lightly parted her lips, "You may all rise." After saying this, she walked past them into the palace.
Once Mu Junqi's figure disappeared, a few palace maids gathered their courage to speak. "Look at her; she never regards us lowly servants. No wonder everyone dislikes her."
Another short and plump maid lowered her voice and said, "Exactly! It's truly unfortunate to serve such a master. We thought being Empress would bring us some benefits, but now we feel ashamed even going outside."
"Exactly, exactly," echoed the others in agreement. Suddenly, they saw Mur come out and immediately scattered in all directions.
