Imperial Physician Liu, the doctor who often treated the empress for a long time, came to report to the emperor, "Reporting to the emperor, the empress's grief was too great, causing her to faint all of a sudden. This subject has already prescribed a prescription, so as long as the empress takes one, she should be able to make a quick recovery."

"That's good." The Emperor relaxed.

"It's just that I still need to focus on healing her. The Empress should calm her heart down, so as to not let her suffer any more irritation." Imperial Physician Liu continued to remind her.

"Alright, I understand. Go down." The Emperor gestured for him to leave.

The emperor looked at the empress's pale face lying on the bed and couldn't bear to do so. As his parents, no one could understand the pain in their children's hearts.

The crown prince was of noble birth, he had been well-informed since he was young, and his ambition was extraordinary. Yet, because of the repeated setbacks to his identity as the crown prince, right now, he who was supposed to be extravagantly dressed, yet was sitting and enjoying luxury, blowing all the yellow sand at the border while bearing the fear and suffering. This made Mu Zheng feel somewhat bad in his heart.

Mu Zheng was lost in thought, but at this moment, the empress woke up and opened his eyes.

"Empress, you're awake." Mu Zheng asked in a rare gentle and low voice.

"Your Majesty … "To recognize him …" The queen started sobbing the moment she opened her mouth, too sad to continue. She suddenly threw herself into Mu Zheng's embrace.

"Don't be sad. At least right now, my son is still alive and healthy. That is already a great fortune." The Emperor comforted the Queen.

"Chenqie's heart is aggrieved. He was the most sensible, most obedient, and most outstanding person ever since he was a child. Why are there so many princes who live like princes while the others live like princes? Only he has to suffer in that bloody place." The empress's words were full of injustice.

These words had reached deep into Mu Zheng's heart. Indeed, he had been too strict with Mu Zhuoshi.

"The reason why I allowed him to go to that place, is also to sharpen his will and take on big responsibilities in the future. After all, he's the crown prince, so he's destined to take on more responsibilities than the other princes. The emperor comforted the empress.

When Zheng Ziyi heard this, she was extremely furious. It turned out that all this time, in the Emperor's position, Mu Zheng was only interested in Mu Zhuoshi.

"However, when swords and soldiers meet in that place, blood will be shed and the battlefield will be stained with it. Chenqie will be extremely terrified every day. Now that my son has suffered such grievous injuries, chenqie is afraid that this will continue. I'm afraid that we will never be able to meet each other again in our lives … " The empress choked up again, heartbroken.

"Empress, you can rest assured that our son is very outstanding. After being injured, he has even greatly defeated the enemy. Not only did he defend his own territory, he even won over many cities and cities. His courage deserves praise. The war was almost stable there now. We will immediately issue an order for him to return early. " Mu Zheng promised.

"Really? Then chenqie will thank Your Majesty on behalf of my son." The queen was about to get out of bed and bow.

"You're not well, so there's no need to bow." The emperor said considerately.

Seeing them acting this way, Zheng Ziyi felt very upset. Hearing the emperor's words, she hurriedly stepped forward and interjected, "That's right. Empress, your health is not good, so just lie down and rest. "The Emperor is very considerate. She was just talking to chenqie just now about letting chenqie properly take care of the imperial harem for you." Zheng Ziyi took this opportunity to say what she had said just now, and indicated to the emperor that she should take this opportunity to inform the empress. After all, it was only a promise from the emperor, and not the empress.

The emperor was in a bit of a difficult position as he turned his head to look at Zheng Ziyi.

The emperor was about to speak to the empress, but the empress couldn't catch her breath and fainted again.

"Esteemed empress, esteemed empress!" Leng Rumei anxiously shouted a few times. Seeing that there was no response, she quickly sent someone to get the imperial physician.

"Why did he pass out again?" Zheng Ziyi said snappily, his tone full of dissatisfaction. The empress had fainted at this moment obviously because she did not want to be the one given the authority.

"I also said that chenqie has always disliked being mixed up in the affairs of the harem. At this point, I can't help but say a few words." Leng Rumei said as he looked at Zheng Ziyi coldly.

"Your Majesty, the empress has always been in charge of the imperial harem. The emperor cared for the empress, so he let the imperial concubine take care of the empress with good intentions. However, the crown prince's arm had been snatched away, causing the empress to feel depressed. She would make people think that the empress was scolding the empress because of the crown prince's handicapped body. She was even more hurt. After continuously being struck, she naturally lost consciousness. "According to chenqie, the empress's heart is still heavy right now. It would be better for her to continue taking care of the harem. Doing more things would only distract her attention and help her body recover."

Leng Rumei's words to the empress prevented Zheng Ziyi from obtaining the rights to the imperial harem.

The Emperor looked at the Empress, then looked at Leng Rumei, and felt that what she had said was not without reason.

"But your majesty, the empress needs a good rest right now. Besides, your majesty has long promised chenqie …" Zheng Ziyi saw that the emperor was wavering and immediately squatted down to grab the emperor's hand to act like a spoiled child.

"Love Consort, I know that you have good intentions and think for the empress, but the princess is still young right now. You should accompany her more during this time when you need her. Let's talk about this later. " The emperor rubbed his aching forehead as he kindly advised.

Hearing the Emperor say this, Zheng Ziyi knew that she would not have another chance. She stood up with grievance, and glared at Leng Rumei fiercely, gritting her teeth in hatred.

Leng Rumei, on the other hand, looked at her coldly with a smile that was not a smile and had an indifferent expression. This made Zheng Ziyi even more unhappy.

After that, when the empress woke up, everyone stopped talking about what had happened and just told her to rest up.

Zheng Ziyi was also annoyed staying there, so she decided to come out earlier.

After the emperor had left, only Leng Rumei and the empress remained. The empress then sat up, "This little bitch is still thinking about managing the imperial harem even now." The empress cursed viciously.

"She's quite ambitious. She hasn't been idle for a moment." Leng Rumei said indifferently.

After bidding farewell to the Queen, Leng Rumei walked out. As she was passing by the Imperial Garden, Zheng Ziyi suddenly appeared and blocked Leng Rumei: "Big sister, what a coincidence." Zheng Ziyi said in a strange tone.

"Whether it's a coincidence or intentional, I'm afraid only you know. After waiting here for so long, what's the matter?" Leng Rumei took out a handkerchief and gently wiped his hands, and lazily caressed the jade hairpin as he asked.

"Since big sister is so outspoken, little sister won't beat around the bush. Why are you going against me every single time? What benefits do you get by doing this?" Zheng Ziyi asked in an overbearing manner.

However, Leng Rumei was not suppressed by her imposing aura, but stood motionlessly in place, continuing to straighten the hairpin that was slightly tilted.

"I'm just speaking up for justice. I'm not thinking about benefits or not."

"Only sister knows whether he is speaking out of justice or working together." Zheng Ziyi said snappily.

"Is this the reason my sister stopped me? If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first. " Leng Rumei was too lazy to explain more.

"You will always be subordinate to others if you follow the empress. How about you join hands with me and enjoy the power of this harem in the future?" Zheng Ziyi advised, delusional enough to sow discord.

"I just want to have a peaceful and happy life and I don't want to have any rights or not. I've found the wrong person." Leng Rumei said as he walked around Zheng Ziyi and towards the distance.

"Think about it, my good sister." Zheng Ziyi shouted towards her back.

Leng Rumei paused for a moment, then turned and left without looking back. Zheng Ziyi looked at the empress's palace maids that passed by in the distance and sneered sinisterly.

She knew that she wouldn't be able to poach Leng Rumei from the Queen's relationship. The reason she said that just now was to sow discord between Leng Rumei and the Queen.

Mu Ying led the hidden guards in pursuit and quickly found the camp of the great army of the comfort barrier. The army inside was estimated to be over a hundred thousand, Mu Ying did not dare to act rashly, and had temporarily stopped not far away.

"Your Highness, this leads to the conclusion that Commander Ji must have brought his horse into the camp, what should we do now?" Wei Ming asked.

"The number of people we have right now is too far apart, so we can't go head to head against them. We can't start a war because of this, so we can't be busy for the time being. Let's wait until the sky turns dark, then I'll sneak into the camp and scout around first. " Although Mu Ying was anxious, he was unusually calm.

He did not want to alert Xue Moyun and be afraid that others would hurt him. After all, they had only just calmed down, and there were barely any troops left on Mu Zhuoshi's side. Their army's supplies were still on the way.

It wasn't easy for them to wait until the sky turned dark, then Mu Ying and the hidden guard secretly snuck into the comfort camp, slowly searching for clues about Xue Moyun.

There were too many tents inside, so searching would be difficult. Just as Mu Ying saw a few pieces of female clothing in the distance and wanted to follow along, a voice by his side caught his attention.

"Bring me some more wine and patrol the area. Don't let anything go wrong!" It was the voice of the Commander Ji. Although Mu Ying wasn't familiar with him, his comforting words mixed with the West Cold's accent made Mu Ying notice him immediately.

"Yes, Commander." A soldier retreated, and Mu Ying quickly dodged to the side.

Waiting until the soldiers were far away, he quietly went around to the window and lifted the curtain to look inside. He saw Commander Ji lazily laid on the fox fur blanket, hugging two women on his left and right, drinking wine while carelessly kneading her snow-white breasts, looking extremely shameless.

So it turned out that he had been a commander here since a long time ago. Because he had rendered meritorious kidnapping Xue Moyun, Minhan Changyang did not need these maids to serve him, and they were bestowed to the Commander Ji.

Seeing him, Mu Ying immediately burned with anger, a cold light flashed in her eyes, she wished that she could immediately tear him into pieces.

Just then, the soldier walked over with a bottle of alcohol. Mu Ying walked over and knocked him down with a palm.

"Sir, your wine is here." The soldier came in with the wine.

"Quickly, fill my stomach. Also, you, come beat my legs and pinch my shoulders." Commander Ji's eyes were hazy as he pointed to the small soldier.

"Yes." The little soldier slowly walked up.
