Seeing him in such a state, Minhan Changyang was too lazy to waste time with him, she immediately leaped up and left the house.

He'd been thinking about this all along the way and actually felt a bit uneasy. He had never experienced this kind of feeling before. What was it? Minhan Changyang also couldn't explain it clearly.

However, Minhan Changyang felt very complicated in regards to them making Xue Moyun take this medicine. Logically speaking, since he already knew of Mu Ying and the others' plans, he should be happy as everything was within his grasp. He could force Mu Ying to admit that he was lying, or even directly make him pretend to be dead so that he would never wake up again. But why do I feel so unhappy?

Minhan Changyang recalled his father's warning when he came to the capital, that he was an important minister of the comfort zone and that his family held an important position within the imperial court.

If they stirred up any trouble with the West Cold this time, and successfully passed through the war to obtain some cities in the West Cold, pushing Mu Lingfeng onto the throne, then the West Cold would be firmly controlled by them. It would be even closer to their goal of unifying the world.

He was someone who did great things, how could he let a woman, a woman who he had only seen twice, affect his plans at this time? Thinking about it here, Minhan Changyang made up his mind to do it tomorrow.

Zheng Ziyi heard that the Emperor had accepted her suggestion and was extremely happy. This time, Xue Moyun was like a piece of meat on a chopping board, he was dead.

Just as he was thinking, a sound came out from outside, Zheng Ziyi was extremely familiar with this voice, it was his secret signal with Mu Lingfeng.

Zheng Ziyi gave Lv Luo a glance, and Lv Luo immediately walked out.

She carefully looked around and quickly entered a bush at the corner of the wall. At the corner of the wall, there was actually a small movement that went straight outside, allowing one person to pass through.

Lv Luo removed the stone tablets from the floor, skillfully taking out a slip of paper and holding it in his hand, he then quickly returned to his room.

"Esteemed Empress, here." Lv Luo gave the slip of paper to Zheng Ziyi and unfolded it. Only then did he find out the secrets within.

"So the Emperor had plans with the Prince to let Xue Moyun play dead and escape from the marriage. It looks like the Emperor does not want her to marry into the outside world." Zheng Ziyi said bitterly.

"Then what should we do, Empress?" Lv Luo hurriedly asked after hearing it.

"His Royal Highness had us think of a way to let Mu Ying go tomorrow, so that he wouldn't be able to take the antidote, and will directly die. When the time comes, the envoy will think of how Mu Ying will speak of the truth and admit to deceiving the envoy. " Zheng Ziyi slowly said. In his heart, he was full of admiration for Mu Lingfeng's plan.

"Two birds with one stone for this incident, ruining the emperor's plans, helping the envoys while also taking care of Xue Moyun and Mu Ying, the enemy, it is truly wonderful. Zheng Ziyi held her cheeks as she thought, the admiration in her heart for Mu Lingfeng increased to a whole new level.

"Empress, then we need to first think of how to lure His Highness and the Emperor away tomorrow." Lv Luo hurriedly reminded Zheng Ziyi as he saw him in a daze.

"That's right, cough cough. Naturally, I know about that, and I still need your reminder." Zheng Ziyi responded.

What on earth should he think of...

In the middle of the night, Mu Ying lied on his bed and couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

"Are you asleep?" Mu Ying asked softly as he turned around to carry Xue Moyun from the back.

Xue Moyun kept watching with her eyes wide open in the dark night, as if she wasn't asleep at all. After Mu Ying flipped over, she immediately closed her eyes, and pretended to be sound asleep.

Mu Ying got up and looked at her. Seeing that her eyes were closed, as if she was asleep, he laid down and pressed his face against her back lightly.

"Sigh," Mu Ying softly sighed, and began to mumble to himself as he reminisced back to the days when the two of them were together. Xue Moyun listened quietly, and did not move an inch.

Mu Ying spoke for a long time before suddenly stopping, and said with a choked of sobs: "If this time you can pass it safely, and you are still safe and sound with me, we will have a child."

Xue Moyun had been sleeping the entire time, but after hearing these words, his tears suddenly started flowing uncontrollably.

She quietly wiped away her tears and pretended to roll over. She hugged Mu Ying and fell asleep in his arms. Mu Ying used his hands to lightly tuck her in, then wrapped his arms around her and closed his eyes.

Early morning of the next day, Minhan Changyang was summoned into the palace by the emperor. He regretfully expressed, "Last night, the imperial concubine suddenly contracted a severe illness and the imperial physician rescued her for the night. However, she still passed away at daybreak …."

"Is that so? Could it be that the wangfei didn't want to marry too far away, so she deliberately thought of this way to faking her death?" Minhan Changyang still looked at the emperor with a faint smile, but his tone was filled with doubt.

"This matter of life and death, how could the king not have something to play around with?" The emperor said somewhat sullenly.

"To hear and see is to believe. As an emissary, this subject shall investigate the sudden death of the future imperial concubine." Minhan Changyang said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

"Then, according to the envoy's words, how can I believe it?" Mu Zheng asked.

"This subject has some knowledge of medical skills as well. Whether or not the wangfei really passed away, this subject would like to personally visit the palace to see what's going on." Minhan Changyang said with certainty.

"But this wangfei suffered from an emergency and might be infected. The emissary is an important official of the comfort zone. If he sees for himself that he might be infected, then that wouldn't be good." Mu Zheng tried his best to dissuade Minhan Changyang, hoping that he wouldn't go.

"It's alright, this subject will take good care of himself."

"But this wangfei has already entered the coffin and is going to disturb us. It's too frightening." Mu Zheng was still trying to dissuade her.

"If the Emperor blocks her more than once, this subject will question the authenticity of the princess' death." Minhan Changyang said straightforwardly.

Hearing Minhan Changyang's words, Mu Zheng had no choice but to nod his head and agree, "Since you insist on looking, I can only let the prince explain."

Mu Zheng tried his best to suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart and deal with Minhan Changyang.

"Sorry to trouble you, your Imperial Majesty." Minhan Changyang cupped his hands.

As soon as the sky brightened, Mu Ying ordered the whole mansion to be covered with white cloth, making it look like a spirit hall. The few wives did not know what had happened, but they thought that Xue Moyun had really died suddenly. Although there was grief on his face, his heart was filled with joy.

Only Liu Ruyi cried. She finally understood why Xue Moyun said those words to her a few days ago and why he entrusted her with the task of taking care of the Marquis.

At this time, Mu Ying and Xue Moyun were in the room waiting for news from the emperor.

A carrier pigeon flew past the window. Wei Ming walked up a few steps and grabbed the carrier pigeon, taking out the slip of paper on its feet.

Mu Ying took the note and looked at it, his face becoming uglier, he said in a low voice: "They insist on examining the corpse, they have already headed towards the Duke's Mansion."

"Alright, then bring the medicine over." Xue Moyun said calmly to Lan Zhi.

"Madam …" Lan Zhi couldn't bear it any longer, so he took out the medicine bottle and held it tightly in his palm.

"Give it to me, it's fine." "Remember my words." Xue Moyun hinted at Lan Zhi as he spoke.

Lan Zhi's eyes were misty, she knew that the Madam was asking her to take good care of Duke Mu.

Xue Moyun took the pill, and calmly took out the pill, and was about to put it in his mouth.

"Playing Cloud!" Mu Ying shouted and extended his hand out to stop her, but he stopped halfway through.

"It's fine, don't worry. You must have the antidote on hand. It's a quarter past noon right now, so remember to give me the antidote early tomorrow. " Xue Moyun lightly warned to ease everyone's mood.

"I will!" Mu Ying said as he tightly held onto Xue Moyun's hand.

"I am much more at ease now that you're doing this. "Alright, I'll take a nap first. You guys get busy." Xue Moyun retracted his hand, and quietly swallowed his saliva, clenching his teeth, he fiercely placed the medicine in his mouth and swallowed it.

"Mu Ying, I love you …" Xue Moyun looked at Mu Ying, smiled, and said slowly, a tear slipped out of the corner of his eye and fell down.

"Lin Yun, Lin Yun, I love you too." Mu Ying hugged Xue Moyun, and said nonstop. He hoped that Xue Moyun could hear him.

"Madam …" Lan Zhi could not help but cry.

Mu Ying carried Xue Moyun back onto the bed in a daze, then heartbroken caressed her face and felt the temperature of her body slowly drop. His entire body was in heart-wrenching pain.

After a long while, Wei Ming finally came forward to remind Mu Ying: "Your Highness, the envoys will be here soon. After we finish dealing with the envoys, we can wake up Madam as soon as possible."

Hearing Wei Ming's words, Mu Ying looked at him, and then looked at Xue Moyun. Only then did he stand up: "Let Madam enter the coffin."

On the other side, Minhan Changyang accompanied by Mu Zhuoshi, Mu Lingfeng and a few other ministers headed towards the Duke Palace.

Because Mu Zheng was a ruler that was not easily infected with bad luck and disease, he stayed in the palace and waited anxiously by himself. Coincidentally, Zheng Ziyi said that the Little Princess was not feeling well, so he went to the Purple Jade Palace to see her.

Xue Moyun's coffin was carried to the center of the hall. The entire palace was dressed in filial attire, solemnly and solemnly waiting for the arrival of the envoy.

"Your Highness, you're not in the right frame of mind. Would you like to sit at the side for a moment?" Although Liu Ruyi's face was full of tears, she remembered Xue Moyun's instructions. Seeing Mu Ying's cold face and low spirits, she took great care of him.

"It's nothing. Go get busy." Seeing that it was Liu Ruyi, Mu Ying softly replied.

Liu Ruyi had no choice but to go down.

Mu Ying held the coffin in his hand and stood there sorrowfully, his mind was thinking about Xue Moyun the entire time, he did not know if she was dark inside, stuffy, lonely, afraid or not. If the messenger hadn't come, he really wanted to open the coffin and let Xue Moyun take the antidote.

Just as he was thinking, someone came by the door to inform him that the envoy had arrived.

Mu Ying tidied up his expression, and his face became wooden as he walked forward.

Minhan Changyang and the rest of the officials walked in. Minhan Changyang still had that faint smile on his face, he really deserved a beating.

As for Mu Lingfeng, he looked at all of this with a face full of disdain. He thought to himself: "This is pretty good, then I'll let you guys pretend to be real and send Xue Moyun straight to hell."

Thinking about it, Mu Lingfeng could not help but reveal a pleased smile in his eyes. To prevent Mu Ying from noticing, he quickly lowered his head.
