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, saying 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, do you not find this matter suspicious? Mu Yueqing must hate Mu Junqi just as much as we do, so why would she choose such a useless person? Perhaps someone has intervened in this matter. Since the Emperor has released her now, even if everything is given to her, it cannot 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 instructed Peach, "Then you immediately send a few people to Qinxiang Garden to arrange things early. Do you understand?"
"I understand, Your Highness. Please rest assured," Peach replied before leaving.
Meanwhile, Mu Junqi woke up to find herself in Tianming Palace, completely alone. Slowly sitting up, she felt confused 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 wryly, saying, "How could you bring a consort here? Have you forgotten that I am still a criminal?"
"Whatever happens, I have already pardoned all your crimes. Once you rest well, you can go to Qinxiang Garden. I have said 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 brow. After a long while, she said, "I don't remember the specifics; it seems like a shadow flashed by. But why would the Emperor be there at that time?"
Mo Xiao Li's expression turned serious as he replied, "I heard yesterday that someone attempted to assassinate you, so I was worried about you. When 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 steadily 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 as 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.
