Ambiguous Love in Mysteries

Su Mu pondered for a moment. When he couldn't find anyone suspicious, he gradually dispelled this suspicion and thought that it was an accident.

The next morning, Su Mu wrote a letter and placed the incense in the letter. He intended to hand it over to the old man. However, just as he took a step out of the courtyard, a group of mama came over with a stern expression.

"Miss Su, you're pregnant. Please don't walk around carelessly." The leading mama said stiffly.

Su Mu was so angry that he started laughing. He walked forward without any hesitation and said: "So you all knew that I was pregnant with your majesty."

The mama never expected Su Mu to be so bold as if he didn't care about the child's safety. "Miss Su, please do not make things difficult for the servants. Miss Su is pregnant, and the servants did not dare to touch her, but this child is also Miss Su's reason for staying in the palace. If there is even the slightest mistake and the child is injured, Miss Su and the servant will both be injured."

Although Su Mu disdained the words of the mama, she really didn't want to take the risk of her child's safety.

Su Mu looked at the mama and said, "It's fine if I don't go out."

The nuns heaved a sigh of relief.

"But I must trouble the mama to invite the king of the imperial guards to come here." Su Mu said without concealing anything.

The first mama looked at Su Mu with disdain, as if she was looking at a slut. "A woman from the imperial harem. Without the emperor's consent, you cannot privately see a man."

Su Mu took a deep breath and suppressed his anger: "Then can you get someone to deliver this letter to Wang Yu?"

The mama answered with a straight face, "This is a private lesson, violating the palace rules."

"Hur hur." Su Mu laughed mockingly.

The nuns were expressionless.

Su Mu didn't dare to let Lin Yi handle this matter. After all, all of this was just her conjecture. If this conjecture was true, then Lin Yi was the biggest variable.

Su Mu was placed under house arrest.

Zhuo Qingfeng had visited her a few times, but he didn't have the ability to help. She wasn't familiar with Lin Yi in the first place, and without the empress dowager supporting her, she would not have been able to see Lin Yi once.

As for Lin Yi, he did not know what he was busy with and also had not come to visit Su Mu.

Su Mu's heart was filled with resentment, so he decided to just let this matter drag on. He usually stayed under the vines in the yard to read and nurture the fetus. Su Mu had already been here for more than five months. His stomach was already visible and he was beginning to struggle as he walked. Su Mu's recent books were all about pregnancy.

Tomorrow was the grand ceremony. Su Mu put down the medical book in his hand and looked into the distance.

Even if Su Mu couldn't walk out of Shoukang Palace, he couldn't stop the happy aura from reaching Su Mu.

The palace maids and eunuchs had all changed into new summer outfits, and Hu Chi often came to the Palace to listen to the empress dowager's instructions.

Previously, Su Mu had met Hu Chi, who rolled his eyes at her. He didn't greet her and directly left with his people.

Su Mu shrugged and didn't care.

Perhaps she was trying on marrying Lin Yi at the best possible moment. I heard that the bridal dress was the best embroidery woman in the palace, working day and night, and had only been chased out of the palace within a month. It must be really pretty.

As Su Mu thought of this, he felt a hint of bitterness. The book in his hand fell onto his face as he lost control of it. The spine of the book smashed against his nose, causing him to feel a burst of pain.

Su Mu felt a stream of warmth flowing out. He touched his hand and felt a handful of blood. It was brilliant red.

"Miss, what's wrong?" Lu Qi walked over with a purple red grape with sparkling water droplets on it. She was momentarily flustered when she saw the blood on Su Mu's hand.

Su Mu shook his head. "I'm fine." Su Mu felt that it was foolish to do this. He was reluctant to tell Lu Qi that he had been hit by a book.

Lu Qi put down the grapes and hurriedly brought in the hemostatic powder and wet cloth.

Su Mu refused her help and took the powder, but it was useless.

This palace maid had been sent over by the empress dowager, and they were all the empress dowager's concubines. Although they weren't given the same treatment as the comb, they still had a lot of authority in the Palace.

To be honest, Lu Qi did her best for Su Mu, but since the empress dowager had sent it, Su Mu didn't dare to believe it.

In this deep and serene palace, the most reliable method Su Mu relied on was the child in his stomach. The empress dowager wouldn't act against her grandson.

Lu Qi didn't react at all to Su Mu's lack of medication and calmly stood to the side.

If any martial artists were here, they would be able to see that even though Lu Qi seemed to be standing very casually, there was still a lot of meaning hidden in her words. Not only was she standing in an ingenious position, but she could also detect attacks from any direction at the first possible moment. Her posture was also meticulous. She appeared to be relaxed, but in fact, every muscle was ready to attack at any time.

Su Mu raised his head and stopped the nosebleed. He then used a wet cloth to wipe the blood off his hand and picked up a grape to put in his mouth. The purple and red color of the grape made her mouth turn even redder. Perhaps it was because she was pregnant, but Su Mu had grown a lot. He had a strange aura about him that made people not dare to blaspheme him.

Su Mujing didn't have the heart to read and ran to the pharmacy. Apart from going out, the Empress Dowager treated her fairly kindly. At least, when Su Mu asked for a pharmacy, she hesitated, but in the end she still agreed.

However, the amount of medicine sent was limited. There were only some ordinary medicines. With one look, Su Mu could tell that these medicines were carefully picked out by the hospital. No matter how much they were made, they would not be able to be made into poison.

However, Su Mu didn't have any thoughts of concocting poison.

As Su Mu entered the pharmacy, a strong smell of medicine hit his nose. He felt a lot more comfortable.

Green Qi followed him like a shadow.

Su Mu held a small scale in hand as he walked past these medicines. From time to time, he would grab a few and weigh them a little.

Lu Qi didn't know anything about Qi Huang's technique. Coupled with Su Mu's carefree expression, Su Mu's every move seemed like he was playing house in her eyes. Lu Qi yawned.

She was still worried about Su Mu matching with Lin Yi's Divine Comforting Sachet. Su Mu didn't have any suitable medicine in hand, so he could only use all of his strength to contact the medical skills he had seen before and try his best to find a substitute medicine.

After choosing the medicine, Su Mu began to process the medicine. Different medicinal ingredients had different ways of making them. Su Mu first took out the medicinal pestle and slowly crushed one of the medicinal herbs.

Su Mu grinded the medicine very slowly. Just this medicine alone took about half a quarter of an hour. One had to know that Su Mu had chosen dozens of herbs.

By the time Su Mu had finished processing all the medicinal ingredients, the sky had already darkened.

Su Mu placed the herbs that he had prepared onto a piece of yellow paper and placed it in his pocket. Su Mu stretched his body and hit his back.

Lu Qi came over to support Su Mu.

The food from the kitchenette was cold. To be honest, in this huge Shoukang Palace, the only ones who would look at her right now were Lu Qi and the young eunuch.

Su Mu didn't care at all. He picked up the bowl and was about to start eating.

"Miss Su, please wait. This servant will ask the kitchen to make another serving."
