"She's awake. That's great." After hearing Imperial Physician Zhang's report, Mu Zheng put it down happily and spoke a few words in quick succession. After that, he drove to Xue Xiang Manor and personally paid a visit to Xue Luoyun, sending him medicine.

Upon hearing that the Emperor had come, Xue Luoyun hurriedly sat up on the bed. His face was as pale as paper, without the slightest hint of blood.

Seeing her like this, Mu Zheng's heart was full of pain. "You're sick. Why don't you lie down first."

"Your servant and daughter are truly capable. Your majesty, please come visit us." Xue Luoyun felt rather flattered.

"What are you saying? You are my friend, and what is there to be so flattered about a friend coming to see him? "If you say that again, you won't treat me as a friend." Ever since the two of them met in the Imperial Garden, Mu Zheng had called out to Xue Ruyun, a maverick friend. He made Xue Ruyun talk about some of their matters, how they interacted with each other, and all sorts of interesting things. These things made Mu Zhengyun feel even fresher, and he liked to get along in this way with Xue.

Upon hearing his words, Xue Ruoyun lowered his head and gave a slight smile. "You're willing to be my friend, that's great." He lamented that he finally had a friend in this era.

"Is the information accurate?" Inside the Mansion of the Conqueror King, Mu Sheng was currently reading a book when he heard the news of a hidden guard bringing Xue Ruoyun.

"It's absolutely true. At noon today, Imperial Physician Zhang came to the palace to report that he had woken up."

"Mm, you may leave." Mu Ying coldly flipped over a page of the book, his face expressionless. However, when the hidden guards retreated, he couldn't help but smile, his face full of joy. In the past few days, he had paid a lot of attention to Xue Muyun's situation. Now that she was awake, a stone was lifted from her heart.

He tidied himself up a bit and hurriedly prepared to go visit Xue Ruoyun. Just as he walked out of the door, he stopped. "The wounds on her body are so deep; I don't know when she'll recover." Mu Sheng frowned. He suddenly remembered that he had been in the battlefield for a long time and that there was an old military doctor in the northern army camp. He was quite skilled at treating injuries caused by swords and sabers, but he was still quite far away. Thinking of this, he hurriedly spurred his horse out the door and headed towards the barracks.

It was night. Xue Luoyun was sitting alone in the courtyard, gazing at the missing moon in the sky. Suddenly, he missed that night's flute music. He didn't know why he was sitting there, but he felt that something was missing. Xue Ruoyun looked outside the wall, and it was completely silent. Recalling that night before he fainted and saw that worried face, his heart felt very warm and at ease.

After finding out that Li Feiyu had sent him to his residence and then left, Xue Luoyun's heart couldn't help but feel empty. However, in his eyes, he was nothing more than a vainglorious villain, so how could he be worthy of looking at? It might have just been a coincidence for him. Xue Moyan pulled at his cape and glanced at the wall. "The night is cold. Go back to your room."

After carefully treating her for a few days, Xue Luoyun's illness gradually improved, and Madame Zhao's complexion became more and more unsightly. However, this good news brought many troubles to Xue Luoyun.

It turned out that after the lantern festival, news came from who knows where. Everyone knew that the person in the palanquin was the emperor, and there were even people who vividly described the emperor's concern for Xue Muyun. For a time, the news spread like wildfire. No matter whether it be the commoners or the ministers and officials, they all knew that the emperor highly valued the daughter of the prime minister …

It had only been a few days when the front of Xue Xiang Manor suddenly became bustling with activity. The place was bustling with people, and there was an endless stream of visitors.

"Miss, how many other ministers' daughters have come to visit you?" Xue Ruyun's body just happened to be a bit better. As he was slowly walking in the small courtyard to bask in the sunlight, a maid supported him, and Yun Zhi came in to report.

Xue Ruoyun was exhausted from the continuous visits and was unable to catch up. She waved her hand. "Go and answer them. Tell them that I am not feeling well today and thank them for their good intentions on my behalf."

Xue Luoyun was extremely disgusted with these friends of her who had suddenly become passionate. She thought back to when she had been in this mansion, and everyone had said that she was arrogant and despotic. The ladies of the ministers also spread rumors about her behind her back. Everyone kept their distance and kept their distance while adding insult to injury. Now that the news that she had received the attention of the emperor had arrived, all the sisters wanted to say that they were extremely close. Xue Luoyun had always disliked this sort of person that tended to be attached to the flame, and because she was also tired of socializing with others, she could just push things as she liked.

"Miss, these people might not be able to make it today." Yun Zhi awkwardly stood on the spot.

"Why?"

"Because a few of them are the daughters of important officials of the imperial court, and the Grand Commandant, the Grand Commandant and the others are all officials of the same court as the Old Master, so they cannot be offended. There are also a few princesses and concubines in the palace, if you go and decline, I'm afraid that it will be inappropriate. " Yun Zhi was very careful about the future of her young mistress. Xue Luoyun had never liked these complicated interactions, so only Yun Zhi came to remind him.

Xue Ruyun thought for a moment. After all, he had to live in this place from now on, so it would be inconvenient for him to offend these people. Moreover, in the past few days, Xue Duan Sheng had paid a lot of attention to him. No matter what his purpose was, he was still his father, so he couldn't give him too much trouble. He had to deal with those people from the palace. Thinking of this, Xue Luoyun could only ask Yun Zhi to invite them in, and he went back to his room to change his clothes.

After a while, he saw a group of well-dressed people in the distance being escorted by servants as they walked in.

He saw a young lady wearing a red brocade dress and a feathered coat slowly walking over. Her every move was ostentatious as she flocked to the left and right, her phoenix eyes full of disdain. This was the Queen of the Grand Commandant, Gao Yu.

Soon after, a person walked over. She was dressed in a yellow robe with a peony embroidered on her body. Although she looked simple, she was actually a noble and elegant man. She was wearing a bit of makeup, her hair was combed at an angle, and she looked forward to her walk. It was obvious from one look that she was the Emperor's beloved concubine, Yu Le Jun.

The other was wearing a white mink fur coat, a pink pomegranate dress, and an authentic brocade orchid belt. His shiny black hair was let loose, and he casually rolled up a bun at the back. She was obviously Lord Censor's daughter, Leng Rumei, just from the way she was dressed. It was said that even the Emperor was moved by this.

After him, there were also a few others who had a myriad of colors and demeanors. They were all women that were about to be sent to the imperial harem or that had already entered the palace.

Xue Ruyun tidied up his service and endured the pain on his body. He forced out a light smile and went to welcome them, "I don't know why my sisters have come to visit. Please take a seat. Yun Zhi, serve some tea."

When they saw Xue Ruyun raise his head, they were stunned. Her waist was slender, and she wore a plain pleated skirt with emerald green jade underneath. She wore a light purple coat, and her three thousand black hair was tied behind her back with a cloth band. Her skin was whiter than snow, and she did not wear makeup. Her beautiful eyes moved about, captivating people's souls.
