After hearing what Ji Qing said, Shen Bai finally felt at ease.

He already knew that Mu Yizi was too impatient, but he had always thought that he could help her change her personality slowly. What Shen Bai did not expect was that the current situation did not allow for her to take her step by step.

She must quickly mature. In order to succeed, Shen Bai must use any means necessary.

He had grabbed the medicine according to the prescription given by Ji Qing, and had specifically set his eyes on the stove to fry the medicine, fearing that something might go wrong.

Holding the bowl in his hand, Shen Bai stood in front of Mu Yizi's door, at a loss of what to do.

If he were to enter now, would he anger her even more?

"Who is it?"

When Mu Yizi heard the sound of the door, she forced herself to stand up and look at the door.

Shen Bai came back to his senses and sighed.

In the end, he walked in with the medicine bowl. When he looked at Mu Yizi's pale face, his heart couldn't help but throb.

"Drink the medicine first, then you'll feel better."

Shen Bai used one hand to help Mu Yizi up, wanting her to lean into his embrace. Unexpectedly, Mu Yiran wanted to sit up herself, rather than lean against the bedpost, to get any closer to him.

This caused Shen Bai to feel a little upset in his heart.

After receiving the medicine bowl from Shen Bai, she tilted her head upwards and gulped it down. He could not be afraid of the hardships anymore and could only hope that he could leave this place as soon as possible.

Looking at Mu Yizi's distant appearance, Shen Bai felt more and more guilty.

If he told her clearly in the morning, wouldn't the two of them be better than they were now?

Now that things had come to this, it was useless to think about it any longer.

Shen Bai could only think of a way to make Mu Ru Zi accept this fact.

He believed that one day, she would be able to see his true feelings.

"Rest well, I won't disturb you any longer."

Saying that, Shen Bai took the empty bowl and was about to leave, but after hearing the words of the person behind him, he abruptly stopped in his tracks.

"Thank you, Martial Uncle."

Mu Yizi, who hadn't made a sound since Shen Bai entered the room, only said this three words.

Just the numbers alone made Shen Bai feel as though he had fallen into a bottomless abyss.

Martial Uncle, this might be the final destination that she gave him in her heart.

"You … "Rest well."

Shen Bai's voice was choked with sobs. As he left in a hurry, even his back looked as though it was running away.

Mu Yizi watched his back as he left in a hurry, and two lines of clear tears unconsciously fell from her eyes.

Shen Bai, maybe we're destined to be like this. Whenever I want to get close to you, I will always push you further away.

After a night of rest, Mu Yizi felt her body relax a lot more.

He woke up early in the morning and prepared to go to the morning assembly. The moment he opened the door, he saw a lunchbox placed in front of the door.

There were a few lifelike birds carved from plum blossoms on top of the food box. Even with the lid on, one could smell the fragrance of the food inside.

He didn't need to guess to know who did it. Mu Yizi placed the food box back into the room.

He sat at the table and stared at the box for a long time before he finally opened the lid.

All of this was witnessed by Shen Bai, who was hiding not too far away.

Mu Yizi knew that he must have been watching her and purposely left the door open, hoping that this person would walk in with a few dishes as usual and ask her why she was up so early.

He waited for a long time, but no one came. Perhaps that person also felt ashamed to face him again.

Mu Yizi ate a few mouthfuls before putting down her chopsticks and leaving.

Only after she left did Shen Bai dare to come out from the corner of the yard.

When she walked into the room and saw that the table was almost devoid of food, she felt her heart ache again.

[This girl, why is her heart so heavy?]

He placed the food back into the box and cleaned up the table before leaving reluctantly.

It was as if staying a moment longer would allow him to reflect on that person's aura.

During the entire morning assembly, Mu Yiran was in a state of absent-mindedness. Even those old officials couldn't be bothered to pick on her.

Even Loulan Slash noticed her unusualness and turned back the other ministers who had already complained about her.

When the morning assembly came to an end, Mu Yizi was still standing in her original position in a daze, not noticing that the morning assembly had already ended.

"General Mu, the assembly has begun."

If it wasn't for Eunuch Zhou's reminder, Mu Yizi wouldn't have noticed that in the entire Town Hall, other than the palace maids waiting to be pawned, she and Eunuch Zhou were the only ones left.

"Sorry for troubling you, Eunuch Zhou." Mu Youzi nodded to Eunuch Zhou and was about to turn around to leave when she nearly tripped and fell to the ground.

"General Mu, His Majesty said that if you really are feeling unwell, you can go to her study and rest for a bit," Eunuch Zhou said. There's no need to be in such a hurry. "

Mu Yizi looked at Eunuch Zhou apologetically, shook her head and said, "No need, I won't disturb His Majesty anymore. I hope that Eunuch Zhou will thank your majesty for treating me like this. "

Eunuch Zhou sighed and looked at her lovingly, "General Mu, to be honest, this old one has been by Your Majesty's side for quite a while. This is the first time I've seen His Majesty show so much concern for someone. It's best if you don't disrespect His Majesty. Accompanying a lord like a tiger is one of the reasons why His Majesty dotes so much on you. Tomorrow, he will send someone to cut off your head! "

Mu Yizi pursed her lips. If Eunuch Zhou had spoken in such a straightforward manner and she didn't understand anymore, then she would have lost to that yellow-haired boy.

"Eunuch Zhou, please lead the way."

Eunuch Zhou saw that Mu Yu Zi had softened, so he finally relaxed. He quickly called for a small palace maid behind him to help him. His old bones couldn't hold up Mu Youzi for too long.

In the imperial study, he was in the middle of reviewing the imperial reports. He only said a few words to avoid Mu Yizi before falling silent.

Eunuch Zhou, who had been waiting at Lin Luo's side for a long time, had Mu Yizi be helped to lie down on the imperial concubine bed beside the study table before quietly retreating. In the entire room, only Lin Yu and Mu Yizi were left.

Mu Youzi was lying on the bed, feeling drowsy because of her weak body.

Ben had been trying his best not to fall asleep before the emperor. However, his body was too tired and he fell into a deep sleep.

When Mu also purple woke up, he saw Lin Mu sitting next to him, staring at him.

Startled, she quickly tried to stand up and bow, but she was stopped.

"Forget it, just lie down." Someone, bring General Mu some cushions for her comfort. "

Very soon, a small palace maid hurriedly came in with a cushion, and even specially made a cushion for her before leaving.

"This subject thanks Your Majesty."

Facing the kind of considerate Lin Ru, she felt that she was not used to it. After all, she had the status of a sovereign. If this was in the past, she might have acted even more naturally in the stronghold.

When he thought back to his days in the village, he did not know Shen Bai and did not become an official. Even though his days were boring, it could still be said to be comfortable.

Everything seemed to be moving in an uncontrollable direction.

Originally filled with curiosity towards the unknown, she was at a loss as to what to do in this situation. She often asked herself: How about it?
