His wound is not big, but it is very deep. What he fears most is that he will not stop bleeding inside, or that the wound will rot and will not heal for a long time. Once these two signs are present, his life will be in danger.

After that night, the eunuch came to report that although His Majesty the Emperor still managed the government every day, he became cooperative with the doctor's instructions from the imperial physician and also had a rest early every night.

The daily report of the imperial physician also confirmed the eunuch's words.

The wound did not worsen. The imperial physician said that these days, Your Majesty's injuries have been carefully treated and are slowly improving. I dare not say that there will be no sequelae in the future, but in terms of the injury itself, it is a sign of goodness.

Regardless of whether Mu Fulan cared about the life and death of that man from his heart, just from his identity, the supreme ruler of a new dynasty was like a pillar and the cornerstone of all stability.

The day after he was injured, he was unconscious. In order to prevent him from showing up, Mu Fulan once secretly summoned Liu An to inform him of the secret and asked him to hide it on his behalf.

From the day when Xier was helped to the position of prince by him, even if she was unwilling to do so, she was tied tightly with him, and she naturally hoped that everything would be fine for him.

Now his injuries finally recovered, but before she could breathe a sigh of relief, another thing that took her energy a lot happened.

Xie Changgeng's mother was attacked by Qi Lingfeng that day. After the imperial physician woke her up, although she seemed to be fine, she became suspicious since then and often couldn't sleep all night. Mu Fulan and the imperial physician treated her and prescribed a lot of medicines to calm the mind. After taking it, it didn't work. The condition got better and worse, and an accident happened a few days ago.

That day, the palace servant came to report that the empress dowager was drowsy and narrowed her eyes. When she woke up, she saw a palace maid serving her bed or the palace lanterns that were illuminating farther away. She insisted that she was Qi and hated her. She was very excited at the time and accidentally fell down. She knocked her head on the edge of the bed and fell to the ground. After being lifted up by the palace servant, she suddenly became paralyzed and became confused. Except for Xie Changgeng and Xier, she remembered clearly that even Amao, who had been by her for many years, sometimes refused to recognize her.

Xie Changgeng's injuries have not yet healed, and there are many things in the court every day. When the Queen Mother had this accident, he was even more busy. He went back and forth between the three places of the Political Affairs Hall, the Imperial Study Room, and the Queen Mother's Palace. In a few days, the people became thinner and thinner.

Mu Fulan couldn't turn a blind eye, so she waited for her illness in front of Xie's mother's bed. Xier knew that the Empress Dowager recognized her and would definitely come to accompany her mother when she came back to school every day.

In this blink of an eye, more than a month has passed. Although Mu Fulan and the Imperial Doctor have multiple treatments, Xie’s mother’s absent symptoms still did not improve, and she could only lie down. When she was awake, she was still quiet, but when she was confused, she was not easy to serve.

After Xie's mother fell ill, Mu Fulan spent almost every day in the Empress Dowager's harem, except for necessary things.

On that day, it was almost the hour of Hai, Xie's mother fell asleep. Mu Fulan took Xier back from there and sent him to the dormitory of the side hall to rest and return to her own dormitory.

She felt extremely tired. She took a shower under the maid's service, then went to bed and lay down without any extra effort to think about anything. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. Not long after she fell asleep, a palace servant from the empress dowager called again. The empress dowager just woke up and mistakenly recognized the person she served as Qi. She was in a state of turmoil and the palace people were afraid, so they came to her for help first.

Mu Fulan immediately got up and put on her clothes, tied her long hair casually, and hurried there.

Amao came out to greet her and cried with a sad face: "Empress, even I don't recognize her at all! Amao knew that the queen was worried about these days, but she really couldn't coax the queen here, for fear that if the queen would go on like this, there would be something wrong. Your Majesty, what you ordered before, the queen, is not a big deal, and you must not disturb me. Amao had to ask someone to invite the queen again."

Mu Fulan said it was okay, and then he entered. He saw Xie's mother leaning against the head of the bed, unable to move half of her body as usual. The hand on the other side still pointed to a palace maid kneeling in front of the bed, and cursed vaguely: "Qi! My son is the emperor, you are still in a state of mind. How dare you come here to harm me, can you harm my son? Where are you here? Pull her down for me and kill..."

She shouted, and the hand slapped the bed hard, looking extremely angry.

The palace maid was extremely frightened. While deciding that she was not Qi, she kept begging for mercy. When she heard footsteps coming from behind, she turned around and saw that it was Mu Fulan who was coming. She rolled and crawled over, knelt behind her, and begged for mercy.

Mu Fulan asked the palace maid to avoid it, took out the golden needle himself, and ordered someone to help Xie's mother lie down and prepare to apply the needle for her.

When Xie’s mother’s manic symptoms arose, she didn’t take any medicine to calm the mind. She could only use golden needles to silence her.

Amao and the palace servant knew how to operate, so they hurried up. Amao coaxed Xie's mother, and the palace servant wanted to press her moving arm. Unexpectedly, her eyes were staring at Mu Fulan who was walking towards her. Suddenly, somewhere from the strength, she turned over from the bed, and her hand that could only move, grabbed Mu Fulan hard.

She immediately scratched several blood marks from Mu Fulan's back of her hand, and the bloodshot slowly oozed out from under her skin, making it painful.

"Queen, how are you?"

Amao was shocked and then cried and begged: "Empress Dowager, can you be quieter? Please. The queen is treating you!"

Xie's mother sneered: "What do you know! Do you think I don't recognize her? She is not a good person! She stole my son! My son originally listened to me the most. He listened to me no matter what I said, but it was because of this woman that she seduced my son. My son listened to her and never listened to me again. In his eyes, I was gone, my biological mother! I beat her to death..."

She struggled hard and wanted to pounce on Mu Fulan again, but was pressed down by several palace servants who rushed up. The person could not move anymore. The eyes that looked at Mu Fulan were still full of disgust.

Mu Fulan frowned, took a handkerchief and wiped the back of her scratched hand, and then twisted the needle to prick the hole.

After a while, Xie's mother slowly calmed down, closed her eyes, muttered, and finally fell asleep again.

Mu Fulan collected the things and told the palace servants to serve the queen mother in shifts.

Amao looked red and saw Mu Fulan come out. Mu Fulan comforted her a few words and then returned to Ziwei Palace.

She entered the bedroom and ordered the maid and the palace maid to take a break and rest. After washing her hands, she was sleepless. She sat alone in front of the light, staring at the flames, and for a moment, she felt pain in the back of her hand. She looked at it and saw that the scratched wounds had begun to swell. She stood up and took the bottle of ointment that had analgesic and anti-toxic effects.

She opened the box where she stored medicines on weekdays, flipped through it, but she didn't see the plaster she wanted, and then she remembered that when a palace servant who was serving with her was on the stairs a few days ago, she didn't see clearly. She fell and slashed her skin. The ointment was given by her.

Mu Fulan closed the box.

It was midnight, so I was too lazy to mobilize people to ask people to go to the Imperial Hospital to get it again.

She took a clean veil and was about to wrap it in her hand to deal with it all night, when she suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps at the mouth of the bedroom.

She turned her head slowly.

A figure appeared in the shadow that could not be illuminated by the lanterns in the bedroom. He stopped there and walked slowly towards her.

The palace lantern gradually reflected the face of a man who had become thinner due to a serious illness and his eyebrows became more and more like a sword.

He is here.

After so long, he woke up that night, and then left at 5 o'clock the next morning, it was the first time he came to her bedroom tonight.

He was busy until very late every day and slept directly in Yuanchen Palace, like this every night. It is said that the palace ladies once had private rumors that His Majesty was unfortunate to the Queen. It was only because of the prince that the Queen was able to be brought to Shangjing from Changsha and be in the position of the Central Palace.

But then, Mu Fulan soon learned another rumor.

It is said that one night, a palace maid who served in Yuanchen Palace relied on her appearance and wanted to warm the bed for the emperor who was still reviewing memorials late at night. As a result, she was dragged out by the eunuch that night and no one was seen again. It is said that she was included in the list of spies in the palace who had not been cleaned up before. It is conceivable what the outcome was. When the news spread, the palace maids were all frightened, and since then they dared not have any thoughts of going beyond the rules.

Soon, there were rumors that His Majesty the Emperor did not open the six palaces, but only the Empress, but he did not sleep in Ziwei Palace. The reason was not that he did not like the Empress as everyone had previously guessed, but that the Empress did not please His Majesty the Emperor, and for the sake of the prince, he came to the central palace from Changsha.

Naturally, these rumors about the confusing relationship between the emperor and the empress are like the wind coming and going. No one dares to talk about it in public in this cold and strict palace.

Mu Fulan quietly put down her injured hand and covered it with her sleeve.

Xie Changgeng stopped a few steps away from her, paused, and said, "I just finished my work and went to visit my mother, Amao told me..."

His eyes fell from her face, the black hair that fell down, and fell to the sleeve that hid her hand.

"What's wrong with your hands?" His voice sounded a little astringent.

"It's nothing. I'll just break a little bit, it'll be fine in two days." Mu Fulan smiled and replied to him.

He walked over and finally stopped in front of her.

"Let me see."

There was a kind of care and annoyance in his voice that he might not have noticed, and he hesitated and reached out to her with one of his hands.

But Mu Fulan took a step back, carried his hand behind her back, and smiled on her face: "I just grabbed it, I've just dealt with it. It's okay, there's no need to look at it."

He looked at her, and his hand stopped in the air. After a moment, he slowly retracted it, and then spread out the other palm that he had just held.

In that palm, a delicate small bottle lay.

"This is a new jade paste made by the Imperial Hospital." He put the paste down.

"From tomorrow, you don't have to go there anymore. I don't want you to feel wronged by yourself anymore. There are imperial physicians and palace servants who serve her. I will also visit her myself," he said.

"Thank you for your compassion."

Mu Fulan did not refuse, but just lowered her eyes and whispered.

Xie Changgeng did not leave, but continued to look at her, silent.

Just when Mu Fulan couldn't help but say that he was tired and was about to rest, he heard him say: "In a few days, the leader of the Sanmiao in the southwest, and..."

He hesitated for a moment, as if he had finally made up some decision.

"And Yuan Handing, we will come to Beijing to congratulate you."

"Yuan Handing has always made great contributions to Changsha. What do you want me to entrust him? Just say that as long as I can give it, I will not hesitate."

When she heard the name, she quickly raised her eyes, and a faint smile appeared in her eyes - a pleasant smile from the heart, something he had never obtained from her.

What qualifications does he have to make her smile like this to herself?

In the past, even the person who saved her and her son from water and fire was not her husband.

Xie Changgeng stared at the beautiful eyes in front of him, and his chest was once again tightly blocked by something. The lungs that had been injured and had not yet healed seemed to have a vague pain.
