"General Meng, I still have a way to treat your leg, but this illness is not something that can be cured in a day like the soldiers. If General you really do not mind, Xuan Er is willing to help the General treat it, I wonder if you are willing to?"

"It can really be cured?"

"Of course, why doesn't the general believe me? Actually, perhaps this sounds a bit inconceivable, but I can really help the general. My sister's legs originally couldn't stand either, but now my sister's legs have been cured by me."

The General Meng's eyes revealed a look of surprise, and Bai Yixuan continued to speak, "I will write a prescription for the general. The general will boil the medicine here, and also remember to use the water in this kettle to boil the medicine, these are water that contain some medicine, you can be at ease, Xuan Er definitely wants to help the general. The general does not need to feel troubled, if it is useless, the general's body will not be affected at all."

"Lady Xuan, I really have to thank you. I thought that I could only do this for my entire life, but who would've thought that I would meet a lady."

"General, you don't need to thank me so early. It's best to wait until it works. If you're still willing to honor me when the time comes, why don't I come to my house and continue cooking for you?"

General Meng naturally agreed, and even agreed to Bai Yixuan's suggestion of treating his illness.

Mu Haolin sat in the darkness, staring at the faint yellow candle flame in a daze. Xiao Shunzi stood at the side and looked worriedly at Mu Haolin, but he did not know what to say.

"Your majesty, it's late at night. Are you really not going to rest?" Xiao Shunzi said hesitantly.

Mu Haolin who was sitting in the darkness was silent for a long time, then he faintly sighed: "You should go rest, We still want to sit down for a while."

Xiao Shunzi gathered up his courage and asked, "Is Your Majesty worrying about the empress dowager?"

Mu Haolin's face showed some worry. "The empress dowager's illness is getting worse, but she refused to let us find anyone to treat it. We know she is blaming us for ascending to the throne back then."

"The empress dowager has already been ill for so many years, you don't have any other choice right now. For the empress dowager's body, you have to protect it first, otherwise, the empress dowager will worry about you too."

Mu Haolin was silent this time for a longer time. He knew that the empress dowager had always hated him and she had never forgiven him. No matter how he explained the past, the empress dowager wouldn't be willing to believe him.

The empress dowager had indeed guessed correctly that she had no way of getting rid of the responsibility from the events of the past. She was the one who had caused it, and now who was to blame, but the empress dowager's illness had become more and more serious, and the night maid had reported that the empress dowager was unable to sleep soundly, coughing all night long, and would sometimes even cough up blood. How could she not be worried, since the events of that year were already irreparable, and what could she do to make the empress dowager treat them?

Xiao Shunzi did not dare to continue talking to the emperor, he could feel that the emperor was in a very bad mood, so he carefully left. When he closed the door, Xiao Shunzi saw the emperor's expression, and suddenly felt that the emperor in front of him had truly aged.

The next day, Mu Haolin went to the empress dowager's palace early in the morning to greet her. The empress dowager was a very meticulous woman, she had her own ways of eating and dressing, but recently, because of her sickness, the empress dowager's body had quickly lost weight, and it was hard to see her original appearance.

Mu Haolin recognized the book of poems. It was written by his elder brother, the First Emperor, and he had always known that the empress dowager had kept many things that belonged to her older brother. However, it was only now that he truly felt that the empress dowager had always been thinking about the Royal Brother and had never stopped.

Mu Haolin reached out his hand to wipe his face, trying his best to make his expression more amiable, not just because he was cold and harsh like before. After so many years, Mu Haolin was already accustomed to the thrill of killing, but of course, what followed right after was a deep loneliness that he could not wipe away.

"Queen Mother, how are you today?"

Since Mu Haolin had snuck in quietly, none of the palace maids beside the empress dowager saw him. When they heard him, they were startled and quickly stood to the side to greet him. The woman lying on the bed did not move an inch until Mu Haolin called out to the empress dowager again.

"Where did the Queen Mother say that? Your son is going to call you for an imperial physician right now?"

"There's no need. I've been sick for so many years, why waste so much time when there's nothing left to see. The emperor is still more worried about national affairs. There's no need to waste more time on the Wailing Home."

"But Queen Mother, how can your son watch you …"

"You're still not looking at too many things, and you don't need to worry about me anymore. Alright, you can leave now."

Mu Haolin clenched his teeth and did not speak for a long time. He tightly clenched his fist, and only after a long time did he slowly loosen it.

The empress dowager seemed to have thought of something before smiling coldly. "I wonder what sort of good news the emperor might have. It's been a long time since this Wailing Home has heard of such a good thing."

"Your son believes that this matter will definitely make Queen Mother happy. Your son has found Ye Fan."

Her Majesty's expression was incredulous at first, but then filled with surprise and ecstasy. "What did you say? Who do you think you found? "

"Queen Mother, you did not mishear me. My son did find Ye Fan."

The empress dowager didn't speak for a long time, until Mu Haolin realized that the empress dowager's face was filled with tears. "Queen Mother, don't be agitated.

"You really did find Ye Fan. How is Ye Fan now? Since you found him, why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you bring him directly to see me? Did you do something to Ye Fan?"

"Your son doesn't dare, but Ye Fan isn't in the capital now. After a few days when Ye Fan returns to the capital, he will come to see you. Queen Mother will call an imperial physician for your son."

This time, the empress dowager didn't reject it. Finally, Mu Haolin heaved a sigh of relief.

But then, where did he find Mu Yefan? What Mu Haolin was sure of was that Mu Yefan wasn't dead.

That day, after Yan Xu had reported to him, Mu Haolin had been worried the entire time, so he asked the other shadow guard who went with Yan Xu about it. Only now did Mu Haolin know that Yan Xu did not see Mu Yefan's corpse, and following after that, Mu Haolin sent people to search for it.

So Mu Haolin was sure that it was because Mu Yefan did not die, or else he was saved by someone, or else Mu Yefan himself escaped. Then, Mu Haolin's people found Mu Beiche's guards at that small town.

This Mu Yefan might not be able to kill him, because he had already attracted Mu Beiche's attention. If he insisted on attacking him, it was very likely that Mu Yefan was not dead yet, and was instead discovered by him.

When Mu Haolin walked out of the empress dowager's chambers, he looked up at the sky. Today's weather was extremely clear, only, no matter how he looked at it, it was lonely and dark.

"Your majesty, do you have any orders?"

"What has the King of Bravehearts been busy with recently?"

"Hadn't His Royal Highness the Prince of Bravehearts been chasing after Song Xuan Wang's granddaughter all this time?"

"He hasn't given up yet?"

"Yes, the news has spread throughout the capital."

"I understand. Let's go back to the palace."

After Mu Haolin returned to the palace, he found a person, and that was the person who helped Mu Haolin previously. Xiao Shunzi stood guard at the door and did not know what was happening inside, as he looked at the person kneeling below and suddenly sneered, "What kind of explanation do you have?"

"I don't know. I thought such a high place would die for sure."

"Do you think that the reason you've helped me for so many years is because of you? If you had relied on these four words, then perhaps you wouldn't be standing here right now. You should probably die first."

"Your majesty, after so many years, even if I didn't do anything, I still have to work hard. You can't kill me."

"Alright, if we don't kill you, then tell me, how did you manage to let Mu Yefan escape with so many people?"

"There is a woman beside Ninth Prince."

"What woman?"

"I don't know, I only know that Ninth Prince called that woman Xiao Bai. That woman was extremely powerful, and his skills were extremely powerful as well, the silver needles in his hands killed many of my subordinates, it was truly terrifying. I initially thought that Ninth Prince did not have any martial arts, but later on, Ninth Prince fought alongside that woman.

When I saw them fall off the cliff, I really did not expect them to have any chance of surviving. Maybe it's that woman, she's really scary, and the Ninth Prince also said that he remembered my name. "

"Who told you not to change your habits after so many years and even mentioned your name. It's a pity you failed."

"Your majesty, I really didn't know they would survive."

Even Bei Che is not Ye Fan's match, and Ye Fan is someone who has always had a say in things, and two say in things. He said that he remembers you, and that means he really remembers you, and now, not only is Mu Yefan not dead, it is very likely that he had already reached the capital. Since Mu Yefan had said those words, then we will not punish you, and just wait for Mu Yefan to go find you.

"Your Majesty …"

"Let's go, Yan Xu, you're not a foolish person, you can't really compare to what happened back then, if you have the time, why don't you investigate that girl for us? What kind of girl is she, to actually be so powerful?"

Yan Xu seemed to still want to say something, but in the end, he still didn't say anything. He only looked at Mu Haolin's extremely complicated expression, and in the end, turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

Mu Haolin sighed quietly. It was a pity that there was nothing he could worry about right now.

He rushed to the door and shouted, "Xiao Shunzi."

Xiao Shunzi ran in quickly and looked at Mu Haolin, "Your majesty, what's the matter?"

"Tomorrow, go call the Prince of Bravery over here. You will know him every single day and he will not care about the rest of the matters."

Xiao Shunzi said, "This servant knows, His Royal Highness the Prince of Bravehearts is after all, a young man."

"Young man." Mu Haolin snorted, "I'm afraid he has other intentions."
