Rebirth: Missing the Beloved

Although Mu Lingshao did not speak to Mu Qing on the spot, he secretly remembered this matter in his heart.

"Ling Shao?" Seeing that his expression was strange, Du Mu Zhou asked a few questions.

Just now, when Du Mu Zhou saw Princess Mu Xue looking at Mu Yufeng, he felt that this matter definitely had something to do with Mu Yufeng.

He didn't expect that the truth would be like this.

"However, fortunately, I was able to get away safely in the end."

Du Mu Zhou looked at the two of them and felt a gentle emotion in his heart.

She looked at Mu Lingshao as he held her hand. Infinite tenderness emerged in her heart.

The Yan Nation's envoy finally felt the sincerity of the Emperor and was very satisfied with the marriage.

At the end of the banquet, the Emperor finally signed a contract with a messenger of Yan Kingdom.

Gu Mu bade farewell to the Emperor, "Thank you for your hospitality. My Yan Kingdom may be small, but it is a country that keeps their promise. Since you are willing to marry your princess to my Great Yan Nation, the Yan Kingdom will definitely treat her well!"

In half a month's time, it would be an auspicious day. Mu Qing would marry Adal on that day.

After this banquet, Du Mu Zhou and Mu Ling Shao returned to their mansion.

Not two days later, after Mu Lingshao had completed his assembly, he gave everyone a piece of news that caught them off guard.

It turned out that the Emperor had suddenly fallen ill.

This news surprised everyone. After all, there were many princes in the imperial court, but no one had been chosen to succeed the throne.

If the Emperor were to suddenly pass away, it would be no different from adding a curved boat into this whirlpool. He would probably be caught in the eye very quickly.

At that time, it would attract many powers to fight, and their strength would be greatly weakened.

Therefore, no one wanted to see the Emperor's sudden illness.

"It's actually like this …" Du Mu Zhou frowned and asked, "Then what do you plan to do?"

In Du Mu Zhou's heart, Mu Ling Shao must have already made up his mind.

If he was truly thinking for this country, he would definitely not stand by and watch.

Mu Ling Shao was dressed in a purplish red official uniform, and his face was as fair as jade, as though he was an elegant gentleman.

"We must always pay attention to Mu Yufeng's movements. I feel like he is waiting for an opportunity to make his move." Mu Ling Shao said.

These words struck right into Du Mu Zhou's heart, as she had thought of this before.

If Mu Yufeng was related to the matter of the third princess, why would he participate?

All the mysteries were like a ball of hair entangled with each other, waiting to be unraveled by the crowd.

On the afternoon of the same day, a group of people gathered on the Emperor's bed, which was decorated in bright yellow. They all displayed an appearance of great hatred and bitterness.

Amongst them, Mu Yufeng was the most powerful.

"royal father! Why is it that after not seeing you for two days, your condition has become so serious? " Mu Yufeng tightly held onto the emperor's hand.

The emperor wanted to speak, but before he could, he coughed twice.

"Yu Feng, I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover from my illness, which is approaching menacingly."

"No, I won't, royal father!" Mu Yufeng looked extremely nervous, "You'll definitely get better!"

Mu Xuanyin also added, "That's right, royal father. You've always been in good health. You'll be fine in two days."

The Emperor shook his head. He didn't bring up the matter again but started to talk about other matters.

"This year, there are invaders invading the border. The court has sent a great general to suppress them. I wonder if we can still endure until then."

Mu Yufeng immediately replied, "Imperial Father, this son will definitely find the best doctor to treat this disease of yours."

Mu Xuanyin also knelt at the side, but other than comforting the emperor, she didn't seem as nervous as Mu Yufeng.

However, everyone was well aware of what Mu Yufeng was planning.

Not long after, news from the imperial court arrived in the capital.

The diagnosis given by the imperial physician was only a sudden onset of an old illness, which was accompanied by a chill.

For a moment, everyone was flustered, and they didn't know whether the Emperor would be able to survive or not.

Even Mu Ling Shao looked like he had been lost in his thoughts for longer than usual …

Du Mu Zhou felt that something wasn't right, so he directly asked, "Besides an old illness, has anything else happened recently?"

After marrying into the Mu Clan, she found that she did not have any intelligence regarding Mu Ling Shao.

Mu Lingshao said with a heavy tone, "This Mu Yufeng probably wants to gain His Majesty's favor within a short period of time. He's currently wantonly looking for famous doctors from the outside world."

"A famous doctor?" Du Mu Zhou tilted his head, "Could he be referring to the famous doctor Zhang Yichun who has long since retired?"

Mu Ling Shao nodded, "That's right, it's Zhang Yichun."

Mu Yufeng wanted to find Zhang Yuchun? Du Mu Zhou was somewhat surprised.

She was good at poison, the one in a hundred cure poison. Zhang Yichun was better than her. It was said that he had a unique skill of resurrecting the dead.

Therefore, the people also gave him an elegant title — — "Deadwood at the Spring."

It was just that Zhang Yichun had been hidden for many years, and had not appeared in front of anyone for a long time. Only a fated person could be cured by him.

Even if Mu Yufeng could find Zhang Yuchun, would he be able to get Zhang Yuchun to help him?

"He's really good at acting. What can he do if he can't find Zhang Yu?" Du Mu Zhou said.

Mu Ling Shao's eyebrows slightly contracted as he helplessly smiled.

"Since he has taken care of this matter, even if he can't find it, he must find it."

Du Mu Zhou, on the other hand, didn't care. He only said that time had come to verify the truth.

Just as the two of them were talking, a message came in from outside saying that Princess Mu Qing had come to visit.

Du Mu Zhou was somewhat happy. After coming into contact with her, she discovered that Princess Mu Qing was also a good friend.

"Let her in." Mu Ling Shao said.

The reason why Mu Qing had come this time around was mainly to thank Mu Ling.

She was accompanied by several boxes of gold, silver, and jewelry. As expected, she was the favoured princess of the imperial court. Just the gifts alone weighed heavily on several chests.

A few maidservants extended their hands to help their mistress off the carriage. Mu Qing was dressed in light colored clothes as her delicate footsteps swayed from top to bottom.

"Elder Cousin Ling Shao." Mu Qing raised her eyes and said.

Mu Lingshao nodded his head and said to her, "So what? Why did you bring something?"

With Mu Qing's fiery temper, she felt a little embarrassed, "Cousin, everything that happened before is all thanks to you."

The engagement between the two had already been set. They were only a step away from marrying Mu Qing.

"It's a small effort. The two of you have a solid relationship with each other." "Let's talk inside." Mu Lingshao led her to the entrance of the mansion.

Mu Qing sat on a high chair that was polished into a piece of wood as she received a cup of tea from her follower.

"Cousin, right now, royal father's health is not good, royal brothers are frowning, do you know?"

Mu Lingshao nodded his head. Everyone knew about this matter a long time ago.

He lifted the teacup cover and blew the scalding tea on it.
