At night.

A few strands of moonlight could be seen within the cold palace, making it seem rather desolate.

Mu Jiuer, who had recuperated from a month and a half of injuries, was lying on her bed. In the past few days, she had been bleeding every day, and the old wounds on her wrist were getting more and more injured, to the point that the wounds had never healed.

In the past, she and Qin Yan had also promised her a lifetime under this kind of moonlight.

”Miss Mu, the emperor is calling for you.” A maid interrupted Mu Jiuer's thoughts. The maid looked at the pale and frail Mu Jiuer and could not bear to continue, so she pursed her lips and said softly, ”Miss Mu, hurry up and wash up, don't make the emperor and the others worry.” Otherwise, the emperor would be angry again.

Mu Jiuer knew what the maid meant, and she temporarily did not want to anger Qin Yan either. Otherwise, the ones who would suffer would only be her and her clansmen.

She cleaned herself up as quickly as possible with the help of the servant girl, changed into a clean set of clothes, and headed in the direction of Yangxin Palace.

When they arrived at the imperial garden, they were stopped by someone.

”Yo, you recovered pretty quickly? ”You're really thick-skinned.” The well-dressed woman looked at Mu Jiuer in contempt, and pushed her with the tip of her chin in disdain. Then, she let the maid lead the maid behind Mu Jiuer to a distant place.

”What are you doing?” Mu Jiuer stabilized his body, his eyes filled with anger.

She recognized the woman in front of her. She was an concubine of Qin Yan, whom the empress dowager had forced into his hands under the threat of filial piety. However, ever since this woman had entered the palace, Qin Yan had thrown her aside and focused on reviving Yin Mingyue.

”What am I doing?” Yunfei cast a cold glance at Mu Jiuer, and said in a weird voice, ”I naturally did a great thing, and really let you, you bitch, off. If not for you, the one beside Qin Yan right now would be me! ”

Mu Jiuer's face slightly changed, he had a kind of premonition in his heart, ”What do you mean?”

The Yunfei ridiculed Mu Jiuer in an exaggerated manner and said viciously, ”So what you're saying is that, two months ago, the medicine the emperor drugged was under me. I originally wanted to let the emperor live in my chambers, but I didn't expect it to be so easy for you.” After she finished speaking, she seemed to have thought of something as she scanned Mu Jiuer up and down, and smiled: ”However, seeing that you are in such a miserable state, I feel much better.”
