Chapter 348: Gentle intervention
"Mu Chen, what's wrong with you?"
I always felt that Nan Muchen today seemed a little different from the past. Su Mumu stretched out her hand to smooth Nan Muchen's frown and comfort her.
"Husband, actually I don't really want to divorce you. Even if I always think about leaving the palace, it's because I miss my brother and those good friends. I know the situation is tense now, and of course I won't cause you any trouble, but if
Can you please let me go out of the palace for a walk in the future? I will be suffocated to death inside the palace walls every day."
It was rare for Su Mumu to discuss it with her in a soft voice, which was so beautiful that Nan Muchen kept saying good things in a soft voice.
"When the situation gets better, how about I give you a token so that you can leave the palace freely?"
Su Mumu hummed happily, and kissed Nan Muchen gently on the face.
"My husband is so kind!"
It was so abnormal that Nan Muchen, who was used to Su Mumu's cold eyebrows, was very surprised. He extremely suspected that he had a physical constitution of being abused. Su Mumu's attitude was slightly better, but he couldn't adapt to it.
"My wife is so gentle today. Is it because of my aunt?"
Pink fist lightly hit Nan Muchen's chest.
"Don't talk nonsense. I just thought you were very busy today and I don't want to argue with you too much."
This time, I finally found some shadow of Su Mumu's past, and Nan Muchen grinned.
"What a nice lady!"
The sweet mouth came again, and Su Mumu rolled her eyes.
"Don't do this..." Su Mumu continued as she suddenly remembered something. "Husband, talking about the token reminds me of something."
He said yes, indicating that Su Mumu should continue.
"On the day when the envoy from Xihe was killed, I chased the kite to the Jinshui Bridge and saw a man who looked very similar to me. He took the patrol token and went out of the corner gate. When I caught up and looked,
The man has left, and the guards don't allow me to go out. Otherwise, I will definitely be able to see who the man holding the token is."
After Su Mumu finished speaking, she looked at Nan Muchen face to face, as if she was accusing him, but also seemed to just mention it unintentionally.
"Madam, you are worrying too much. There is no one in this world who looks like me and is in line with my wishes."
She spoke insincerely, and Su Mumu looked down with disdain on Nan Muchen, who turned around and didn't bother to look at Nan Muchen with a cunning look on his face.
"I have slept enough. Madam, please continue sleeping."
Hearing the sound of Nan Muchen getting up rustlingly, Su Mumu sat up from the bed.
"I'm not a pig. How can I never finish sleeping?"
After hearing Su Mumu's angrily protest, Nan Muchen smiled with satisfaction.
"It seems that the lady has returned to normal. But there is nothing wrong with being a pig. She has enough food and sleep, so she is very carefree."
Jumping from the bed to the floor, Su Mumu ignored Nan Muchen and just arranged her clothes.
"Tsk, when you are slaughtered, you will know what worry is and what it means is too late."
Several maids came forward to serve Nan Muchen and dressed neatly. One maid saw that the belt was a little skewed and reached out to Nan Muchen's waist to straighten it.
Nan Muchen frowned slightly when the painful spot was touched, but was looked away by the sharp-eyed Su Mumu.
"Husband, what's wrong?"
With a straight face, Nan Muchen shook his head pretending to be relaxed while brushing off the frivolous palace maid.
"Nothing? Madam, wait for me to have dinner with you tonight."
Without waiting for Su Mumu to ask any more questions, Nan Muchen quickly left the palace, leaving Su Mumu alone with a strange look on his face.
"What happened to the Emperor today?"
When Forsythia accompanied Su Mumu to the study, seeing no one around, Su Mumu lowered her voice and asked.
"Forsythia doesn't know either."
After pondering Nan Muchen's expression at that time, Su Mumu concluded that there must be something going on. Hearing that Forsythia also said she didn't know, Su Mumu immediately called out the wind who was hiding in the dark.
"My dear, why are you looking for Gale?"
The person who appeared from the darkness to answer was not Ji Feng, but Ji Ying, who had been by Nan Muchen's side all day long.
Shocked by Ji Ying's appearance, Su Mumu looked carefully. Except for a pair of eyes exposed outside the black cloth, it was probably impossible to see anything from Ji Ying's body.
"Where's Hayate?"
Su Mumu really didn't understand that it was Hayate who was responsible for his own safety among the Shadow Guards. Suddenly, he was replaced by Swift Shadow without his knowledge.
"Hayate was sent by the Emperor to perform a mission, so the responsibility of protecting the Queen is temporarily taken over by his subordinates."
Maybe what Ji Ying said was true, but Su Mumu always felt that things were not that simple.
Could it be that Nan Muchen's suspicion was passed on to me? Su Mumu muttered to herself.
"Did the Emperor have no rest last night?"
Jiying bowed and answered without hesitation.
"Last night, my subordinates stayed outside the palace to protect the empress. They didn't know the emperor's condition."
The tone of voice was really tight, Su Mumu nodded.
"You Ji Ying don't know about the emperor's situation today?"
"Exactly."
Ji Ying was so angry that he fell back.
"Since you don't know anything, then step back."
After saying yes, Jiying obediently hid in the darkness.
"Forsythia, where did your gale go?"
He shook his head shyly.
"Forsythia doesn't know when my brother replaced Hayate."
That’s it, I don’t know, so why should I ask?
He sat down at the desk and took out a medical book to study. The more he studied, the more Nan Muchen's slightly frowned brows were reflected in front of his eyes.
"Let's go find the emperor."
Fortunately, no one came out to stop her this time. Su Mumu took Forsythia all the way to Qinhe Hall.
When the guard saw Su Mumu coming, he quickly spoke to stop her.
"The Queen, it will take a while before the morning court is dismissed. Why don't you go to the royal study room and wait. As soon as the emperor leaves the morning court, your subordinates will definitely inform the emperor."
After saying hello, Su Mumu turned around and went to the imperial study room again.
The guard of the imperial study room opened the door, and Su Mumu and Forsythia entered the imperial study room one after another.
There seemed to be a hint of sweet fishy smell in the air. Su Mumu sniffed it carefully, but it seemed to be gone again.
"Forsythia, did you smell something just now?"
In order to confirm her feelings, Su Mumu turned around and asked Forsythia standing beside her.
"Go back to the queen, I don't smell the forsythia."
Why did this stinky girl learn Ji Ying's tricks? Su Mumu stopped talking about the smell and instead called Forsythia to bring her a cup of tea.
When Forsythia went out to get tea, Su Mumu quickly walked around the imperial study room and searched carefully with keen eyes, but found nothing strange.
"Strange……"
I habitually sit on the chair in front of the window and meditate. Is my feeling wrong?
"Madam, why are you here?"
After leaving the morning court, Nan Muchen heard that Su Mumu was waiting for him in the imperial study, so he rushed over in three steps at a time.
Entering the Imperial Study Room, he happened to see Su Mumu frowning in deep thought, and immediately interrupted.
"Husband, I'm waiting for you."
