A familiar scent wafted over, and a figure instantly flashed in front of Mu Xiyan. What Mu Xiyan saw was Ye Mingjin, who had a gloomy look on his face.
Ye Mingjin lifted Mu Xiyan's face and took out a bottle of medicine with his other hand. Then, he gently wiped the medicine on Mu Xiyan's face, which was now completely unblemished. Perhaps he was afraid that Mu Xiyan would be in pain, so his movements were very gentle, and his brows were tightly locked.
Mu Xiyan was very surprised that Ye Mingjin knew which side of her face was slapped. Mu Xiyan was very touched. This cold man was so attentive to her.
"Next time, I will kill him." Ye Mingjin spat out these words fiercely, and the chill he brought with him went straight to Mu Xiyan's heart.
"Did Big Brother Flowing Maple tell you?”Mu Xiyan felt warm inside.
Ye Mingjin didn't answer. He just laid Mu Xiyan flat on the couch. His face was still gloomy. After a long time, he said,""Come back to White Jade Palace with me. I, Ye Mingjin, will never let my woman get hurt again.”
" But I..." Mu Xiyan choked when she heard this again. If she had not been so stubborn and left the White Jade Palace, perhaps she would not be in the palace now. She would not have lost her grains and wheat, and she would not have anything to do with Situ Chengyan.
"Alright, have a good rest." Ye Mingjin interrupted Mu Xiyan and said softly.
"Are you leaving?" Mu Xiyan asked hurriedly. She did not want him to leave.
"I'll watch you sleep."
"Night…"
"Yes."
"Can you do something for me?”
"Sure."
"My friend is called Gu Xiaomai, the woman who stood beside me the first time I met her. She thought that I was missing and went out to look for me.”Mu Xiyan closed her eyes and said.
"Alright." Ye Mingjin answered without hesitation.
" Night..." Mu Xiyan was a little sleepy.
"Yes."
"Why are you so beautiful…"
The corners of Ye Mingjin's mouth curled up, but he did not answer until he heard Mu Xiyan's even breathing. He then slowly said,""You are more beautiful."
Early in the morning, Mu Xiyan stretched herself and got out of bed. She looked around but didn't see Ye Mingjin. She felt disappointed.
"Xiao Ling, help BenGong change." Mu Xiyan yawned and called out to Xiaoling, who was waiting outside the palace for Mu Xiyan to get up.
The door was pushed open and Xiaoling walked in with her clothes.
"Niangniang, Eunuch Lu came to the Emperor early in the morning to pass down an edict saying that the envoy from the Muchi Kingdom would arrive today. He asked Niangniang to prepare for the luncheon at noon.”Xiaoling reported.
"Tell the emperor that bengong is not feeling well and cannot go out.”Mu Xiyan replied. She did not want to see Situ Chengyan for another moment.
"This servant will go and summon the imperial physician for the niangniang and ask the emperor.”Xiaoling was very worried after hearing Mu Xiyan's words.
"There's no need. Bengong just woke up and is already a little tired.”Mu Xiyan lay down again. She had to pretend to be sick.
"Niangniang, how can this be? It's better to let this servant go and invite the Imperial Physician for the Empress!”Xiaoling said worriedly.
Mu Xiyan could not persuade Xiaoling, so she had to ask Xiaoling to call the imperial physician.
"The Empress is fine, it's just that the summer heat caused her spleen and stomach to be out of tune, and she's overthinking, causing her to feel uneasy. This lowly official will prescribe a prescription for the Empress. The Empress will be fine after taking it for three days.”Chief Physician Wu of the Imperial Academy of Medicine knelt on the ground and took Mu Xiyan's pulse.
"Got it. Xiao Ling, send Imperial Physician Wu.”Mu Xiyan waved her hand and said," You may leave. I want to rest. I won't see anyone."”
"Yes, sir! This servant will take her leave."
"This humble subject will take his leave!"
After dismissing everyone, Mu Xiyan lay on the bed. It was really boring in ancient times! There was nothing. He really wanted to know what those concubines usually used to pass the time when they could not see the emperor.
After lying down for nearly two hours, Mu Xiyan could not lie down anymore. She sat up and wanted to go out for some fresh air. It was time for lunch, right? I don't think I need to attend the luncheon, right? The people from Muchi Country must have arrived. Situ Chengyan was busy receiving them and did not have time to pay attention to her!
With this thought in mind, Mu Xiyan quickly got up. Today, Mu Xiyan had picked out a smoky purple dress with loose flowers and tied her hair up casually. She only had a pearl jade pendant in her hair. Her pale ring finger was wearing the bronze ring that Ye Mingjin had given her. She was not wearing any accessories anymore. She was so beautiful that it made people intoxicated.
After refusing Xiaoling's service, Mu Xiyan walked out of the Zhenhe Palace alone. She was dressed in purple. Her tall figure and charming face were enough to dim the surrounding scenery.
Along the way, they did not meet any concubines. They must be attending a luncheon. Mu Xiyan was very happy. She came to the Yuelan Lake behind the imperial garden alone. The lake water was crystal clear, and a large number of small goldfish were swimming freely in the lake. Mu Xiyan couldn't help but stay by the lake for a while longer.
The luncheon had already begun. Situ Chengyan sat on the dragon chair and saw the officials, concubines, and envoys, but he did not see Mu Xiyan. It seemed that Mu Xiyan really did not want to see him again because of that slap. Situ Chengyan was also puzzled. Why would he hurt the person he loved the most because of the heir in Noble Zhuang's womb? Nothing was more important than Mu Xiyan!
"Little Lu Zi, go and invite Concubine Zhen over. She is the head of the concubines, it is not appropriate for her not to come.”Situ Chengyan found a reason to convince himself to call Mu Xiyan over.
"Yes, sir! This servant will obey." Little Lu Zi hurriedly walked towards Zhen He Palace.
The emissaries looked different from ordinary people. They were dressed in simple clothes. Their high nose bridge and blue eyes were their characteristics. Situ Chengyan could not help but think of Mu Xiyan's two-colored eyes. The two of them bowed 90 degrees to Situ Chengyan.
"Lord Hong, as the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, help me ask them why they can't kneel when they see me?”Situ Chenyan frowned slightly when he saw that the messenger did not bow.
"Yes, sir!" Lord Hong turned around and spoke in a language that no one could understand. The hall was silent except for Lord Hong's voice.
The original name of the Kingdom of Muchi was Muched.
Country was a remote country that spoke Old English. Muchi Country was just a transliteration. Nan Yu Country did not know about this country at first. It was Lord Hong who went the wrong way when he was on a diplomatic mission to another country due to the cloudy weather. He then mistakenly entered Muchi Country and learned the unique language of Muchi Country. To express his gratitude, Lord Hong invited Muchi Country to visit Nan Yu.
"Emperor, please calm down. The emissary doesn't know about our Nan Yu Nation and doesn't understand our Nan Yu etiquette. What they just did to the emperor was the highest etiquette of their country.”The Minister of Rites, Lord Hong, said.
