The Queen took the prescription and gratefully said to Du Mu Zhou, "Then thank you very much. Servants."

As she spoke, the mama waved her hand, allowing several maidservants to bring out some expensive hairpins, walking sticks, and some high-quality cloth.

The Empress took Du Mu Zhou's hand and said, "Mu Zhou, you keep these things first. If the Eldest Princess still needs your care in the future, I'll send you some things."

"Empress, your words are too serious." Du Mu Zhou hurriedly waved his hand and said, "This is what I should do."

Before he left, Du Mu Zhou turned his head to look at Mu Qing's exquisite appearance, and secretly left some thoughts in his heart.

What was going on? Today was not far from the day she met Mu Qing in the Imperial Garden. However, Mu Qing was gravely ill and was on the verge of death.

Du Mu Zhou sighed.

Since he couldn't come up with anything, he didn't want to think about it anymore. He would speak to Ling Shao about it when he got back.

Before he even reached the manor, Du Mu Zhou saw a person standing in the middle of the doorway.

That person had a tall and slender figure with black hair hanging down from his shoulders. It was none other than the man who had just gotten married, Mu Lingshao.

"Husband."

Du Mu Zhou was about to get off the carriage when Mu Ling Shao reached out his hand to help her. With a gentle push, Du Mu Zhou landed firmly on the ground.

Mu Lingshao looked at her gently before speaking slowly, "Did the Empress call you over today?"

"Yes." Du Mu Zhou nodded, "The reason you called me over is to let me treat the princess' illness."

When he heard that the First Princess had contracted an illness, Mu Lingshao also appeared somewhat surprised. However, he quickly suppressed the expression on his face.

"Let's talk inside." Mu Lingshao pulled her hand and entered the manor.

Du Mu Zhou looked around and dispersed the servants on all four sides. Seeing her mysterious expression, Mu Ling Shao couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you doing?"

Cough, cough." "Today, I discovered a secret. Back then, when you were summoned by the emperor to interrogate you, I came across someone who was doing something inappropriate. Moreover, he had a familiar face, so I secretly made a note of it.

"Oh?" Mu Ling Shao said.

Du Mu Zhou felt that his face was burning, and his voice became even softer. "Today, when I went to treat the Grand Princess's illness, I discovered that the Grand Princess was actually the person I met that day!"

This matter was not as simple as it seemed to be, and from Mu Lingshao's expression, it could be seen that the canoe was not as simple as he seemed.

"Do you feel that there's something fishy about this?"

Mu Ling Shao held onto Du Mu Zhou's hand and said to her, "Don't leak any information about this matter. I'll go investigate it first."

Du Mu Zhou also held his warm and powerful hand back and nodded at him.

It was night. Mu Lingshao had changed into a set of night clothes, and when he jumped onto the roof, his entire body melted into the darkness.

"Tonight, I will follow Princess Mu Qing and investigate the truth of the matter." Mu Ling Shao's mind flashed back to the scene when he was speaking to Du Mu Zhou during the day.

He climbed over the tall walls of the palace and perched on a tree next to the princess' palace, attentively listening to the sounds coming from inside.

A few voices came from within the hall, like a mouse searching for food in the middle of the night.

Creaak.

In the silence of the palace, the sound of a door opening was exceptionally ear-piercing.

Mu Lingshao quickly concentrated and followed the sound. With a flash, he disappeared from the tree.

Mu Qing was wearing a large cloak that covered her entire face. She was even holding a small lantern that emitted a faint glow in the night.

At this moment, no one noticed her, and no one noticed that there were two people in this desolate area of the imperial harem.

Mu Lingshao was unable to clearly see the appearance of another person within the darkness. However, from the looks of his body, it was likely that he was a man.

Based on what the wooden boat said today, he could roughly guess that this man was one of the people who had gone out of their way to deal with the First Princess in the imperial garden.

"Arda!" The Grand Princess then rushed towards the black figure, "When will we be able to leave this place? The Queen has found doctors who can cure drugs. "

Arda reached out and patted her back, comforting the princess.

"Don't worry, in a few more days, in a few more days."

The Grand Princess's grip on Arda's clothes tightened. She tried hard not to let her emotions burst out.

"But, the doctor called by the empress already seems to be able to tell my illness, I'm a little worried." "I must be with you, even if it means abandoning the princess' identity!"

"Okay, we'll be together when you leave the palace."

Mu Lingshao, who was secretly eavesdropping, was shocked. He didn't expect that the Eldest Princess, who came from the royal family, would have such thoughts. It was not as if there were none who had fled the palace by faking their deaths.

However, those people were either criminals or despicable and useless emperors. They had only escaped from the Imperial Palace because they could not stay there and had made the decision to protect themselves.

And now that the First Princess had received her sacred favor and a noble identity, she should have enjoyed a lifetime of wealth and prosperity in the Imperial Palace. How could she be willing to abandon her identity and elope with a man of unknown origins?

"What should we do next?" The Eldest Princess pulled herself away from Arda's arms and tugged on his sleeve. "The doctor already knows about my condition."

A trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes.

"Since she knows, then she will never be able to speak." Arda said without hesitation.

Mu Lingshao, who was in the darkness, clenched his fist.

When the First Princess heard Alda's words, she hesitated, "But …" She did not tell the empress that she was ill, and perhaps she is a good person, and we need not do so. "

Arda looked deeply into the princess' eyes. "Just to make sure that no one else will know about our plan."

The princess' face was still full of hesitation, but the two of them no longer spoke.

"It's getting late, I have to go back." The Chief Eunuch said.

Just as they were about to leave, Arda suddenly tensed up and asked cautiously: "Who is it? "Come out quickly!"

Mu Lingshao did not choose to continue hiding. Instead, he walked out from the darkness and stood before the two of them.

When the First Princess saw that she had been discovered, she screamed in terror.

"I heard everything you said before." The corner of Mu Ling Shao's mouth curled up, but there wasn't the slightest trace of a smile on his face. "I will keep this a secret for you, but you must ensure that you do not harm that doctor."

Arda frowned. "Why should we believe you?" What relationship do you have with that doctor? "

He was worried that Mu Lingshao would hurt the Eldest Princess, so he quietly pulled her back a few steps.

Mu Lingshao said honestly, "She is my wife, the wife of the Duke of Xiao."

"You are the eldest son of the Duke of Xiao?" Arda was surprised.
