The next morning, the entire harem knew that the Empress had been pardoned again, and discussions erupted everywhere. Consort Qian angrily swept everything off the table onto the floor and said sternly, "I never expected that Mu Junqi would be so lucky to escape her fate time and again."
Seeing that Consort Qian had calmed down, Peach dared to step forward and respectfully said, "Your Highness, don't you think there's something suspicious about this? Mu Yueqing must hate Mu Junqi just as much as we do, so why would she choose such an inept person? Perhaps someone is manipulating things behind the scenes. Now that the Emperor has released her, even if everything is handed over to her, it won't erase everyone's hatred towards her. It will be even harder to get through to the Empress Dowager."
Only then did Consort Qian relax her brow and look at Peach, instructing, "Then you immediately send a few people to Qinxiang Garden and arrange for them to go in early. Do you understand?"
"I understand, Your Highness. You can rest assured," Peach replied before leaving.
Meanwhile, Mu Junqi woke up to find herself in Tianming Palace, completely alone. Slowly sitting up, she felt puzzled and thought she was dreaming again, unable to help but smile bitterly at having such a dream once more.
At that moment, Mo Xiao Li pushed the door open and walked in. Everything felt so similar to her dream, but soon she realized she was not dreaming. Mo Xiao Li joyfully approached her and hugged her tightly, saying, "You finally woke up! You have no idea how worried I was about you."
Mu Junqi gently pushed Mo Xiao Li away and smiled bitterly, saying, "How could you bring a consort here? Have you forgotten that I am still under suspicion?"
"Whatever happens, I have already pardoned you of all your crimes. Once you rest well, you can go to Qinxiang Garden. I told you before that when it comes to matters concerning you, I have no principles."
After a pause, he changed the subject and asked, "Are you feeling unwell anywhere? What exactly happened last night?"
Mu Junqi then recalled what happened last night, lightly furrowing her brows. After a long while, she said, "I can't remember the specifics. I only seem to recall a shadow passing by. But why would the Emperor be there at that time?"
Mo Xiao Li's expression turned serious as he replied, "I heard someone tried to assassinate you yesterday, which is why I was worried about you. In the end, I found you lying there. As long as you're okay, that's all that matters."
After saying this, he fixed his gaze on her and pressed his lips against hers. In a moment of passion, he had already pinned her beneath him. Mu Junqi's face immediately flushed red; however, deep down she understood that she could not refuse him and could only lie there quietly as he explored her body.
After an unknown amount of time, a voice from outside called out, "Your Majesty, General Mu requests an audience."
Mo Xiao Li then released his hold on Mu Junqi, sat up, and his eyes were filled with anger. He did not expect that General Mu would be so audacious as to completely disregard him, the Emperor. After tidying himself up briefly, he turned to Mu Junqi and whispered a few words before leaving.
Once Mo Xiao Li had departed, Mu Junqi adjusted her clothing, and Ziyue and Huixin walked in. Upon seeing Mu Junqi, both of them immediately began to cry. "Your Highness, you have lost so much weight. Finally, everything is over."
Mu Junqi looked at the two of them, and tears began to flow down her cheeks as well.
