The feeling of being embraced was indescribable; it was the emotion of someone who had been missed day and night waking up. It was joy, it was excitement, and he himself felt as if he had survived a catastrophe.
Mu Junqi's life, including the life of the child in her womb, was hard-won. Thinking of the person behind her before she fell into the water, she couldn't help but furrow her brows. Mo Xiao Li stared at her intently, not missing this action.
He stepped forward to embrace her again, gently patting her back, and said with some excitement, "Do you remember who that person is?"
Mu Junqi only shook her head lightly in response. Just then, a voice came from outside the bedroom: "Your Majesty, it's time to take your medicine."
"Please bring it in."
Huixin respectfully walked in, placing it on the table by the moonlight, then went over to light the palace lamp with a fire stick, instantly illuminating the room.
Turning to Mo Xiao Li, she bowed her head and said, "Lord Xia instructed that it must be drunk while hot."
The mention of "Lord Xia" immediately caught Mu Junqi's attention, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "Lord Xia?"
Hearing this exclamation, Huixin looked up and realized that Mu Junqi was nestled in Mo Xiao Li's arms. Excitedly unable to believe her eyes, she took a few steps forward and said, "Your Highness, you're alright? That's wonderful, that's wonderful!" After speaking, she clasped her hands together in prayer towards the moon outside.
Mo Xiao Li looked at Mu Junqi's hopeful eyes and felt a tightness in her heart. But since she had just woken up with great difficulty, she could only suppress her anger and tightly wrapped her arms around her. Then she said to Huixin, "Bring over the medicine."
Holding the medicine, with its bitter scent filling the air, Huixin suddenly seemed to remember something. She looked at Mo Xiao Li but hesitated to speak. Lowering her head to glance at her abdomen, Mo Xiao Li instantly understood what she meant. She tightened her grip around Mu Junqi and whispered, "Don't worry; our child won't be so easily lost. He is doing well right here with you," as she reached out to caress her abdomen.
A warm sensation immediately spread from her abdomen. Remembering that Huixin was still there, Mu Junqi shyly lowered her head and drank the bowl of medicine. When handing it back to Huixin, she asked, "How is Ziyue? That day she..."
"Your Highness, don't worry; Ziyue is fine now. She just caught a cold and has been resting in her room these past few days," Huixin quickly replied.
"Oh, that's good to hear. You may leave now," Mu Junqi said softly as she leaned against Mo Xiao Li.
Once Huixin left, Mo Xiao Li looked at Mu Junqi gently and said, "You should continue to rest for a while; everything will be fine tomorrow." Saying this, she gently laid Mu Junqi back on the bed and covered her with a light blanket before getting up as if to leave.
Lying on the bed, she asked in confusion, "It's so late, where are you going?"
Mo Xiao Li looked at Mu Junqi, gently kissed her forehead, and softly said, "There are still many matters in the court that I need to handle. You should rest well. If anything comes up, just send someone to inform me."
Upon hearing this, Mu Junqi fell silent and gently closed her eyes. Seeing this, Mo Xiao Li turned and left.
The next morning, she woke up before dawn. After staring at the ceiling for a long time, she finally realized where she was. She reached out to touch her abdomen and thought it was amazing that after experiencing such events, she felt completely fine.
At that moment, she heard rustling sounds outside the palace. Confused, she sat up. Logically, there shouldn't be anyone outside at this hour. Remembering what had happened before, she worried it might be those intruders, so she slowly got out of bed and tiptoed toward the door.
Just as she reached the entrance, she heard someone outside speaking in hushed tones. Holding her breath to listen, she heard one person say, "Did you know? The Emperor promised to find a woman for Nanyang and has just found one. I heard she's the daughter of a wealthy merchant."
"Really? Didn't they say that only the Empress was born on July 7th at the Chen hour in Cloud Swallow? Could there be someone else?"
Another person immediately retorted, "You're foolish. This is clearly someone the Emperor randomly found. After all, it was Wise King who saved the Empress; the Emperor naturally has to help."
Hearing this, Mu Junqi felt puzzled and pushed open the door to step outside. The palace maids immediately knelt on the ground upon seeing her. "Empress, may you be blessed."
"What are you all talking about so early in the morning?"
"Your Highness, please spare us! We deserve punishment! We heard that the Emperor found a woman last night and is preparing to send her to Wise King," one of the maids said as she prostrated on the ground, trembling.
Upon hearing this, Mu Junqi understood why Mo Xiao Li had hurriedly left last night. However, her body still felt weak and sore. She took a step back and nearly fell over; fortunately, the maid in front caught her just in time.
"Forget it; help me back inside," she instructed weakly.
Once she lay back down on the bed, Huixin arrived and asked with some confusion, "Your Highness, do you need anything?"
"Did the Emperor find a wealthy merchant's daughter last night to give to the Wise King?" she asked directly.
Upon hearing this, Huixin's eyes flickered, and she stammered, "I... I’m not very clear about that."
Mu Junqi knew that everyone wouldn't easily disclose such matters, so she softly said, "The Emperor hasn't gone to court yet. Please invite him here."
Huixin had no choice but to comply and went out to instruct a young eunuch to find someone at Tianming Palace.
Before long, Mo Xiao Li arrived. As soon as he entered the bedroom, he rushed to the bedside and anxiously asked, "What happened? Are you feeling unwell?" He held Mu Junqi's hand tightly.
"I heard you found a woman last night to give to the Wise King?"
Mo Xiao Li was momentarily surprised but then looked at her gently and said, "Don't worry. The Wise King is choosing a princess this time. For that merchant's daughter, marrying into Nanyang is not a bad thing."
Mu Junqi sat up upon hearing this, staring intently into his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, have you ever heard of Yin Fuzai?"
"Yin Fuzai? What does that have to do with the Wise King?" he asked with a furrowed brow, puzzled.
Mu Junqi smirked sarcastically and replied, "Surely Your Majesty knows what Yin Fuzai means. As you know, Consort is Yin Fuzai, but do you not know that the Wise King is also a Yin Fuzai?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao Li immediately stood up, his handsome brows tightly knitted together. He never expected that the Wise King was also such an existence; thus, this search for someone would definitely not be as simple as it appeared...
