Upon learning that there was still hope for treatment, Yun Cheng immediately showed a joyful expression. "No matter what medicinal herbs you need, I will definitely find them. We must save the Princess, do you understand?"
"The subordinate understands. In fact, the Princess is really not in serious trouble. As long as she rests well and eats more in the next few days, it would be even better if we had Thousand-Year Ginseng. The main reason for her current condition is that she hasn't absorbed enough nutrients lately, which has led to her weakness."
Hearing this, Yun Cheng finally felt relieved. He hadn't expected it to be for such a reason, and he smiled at last. Thinking back to the news he had just heard and looking at Mu Junqi lying on the bed, he felt a struggle within himself, unsure of how to decide. He could only say, "You must ensure that the Princess is perfectly fine within three years, understood?"
"The subordinate obeys."
Yun Cheng then gave a few more instructions before leaving. Perhaps it had all been a mistake from the beginning, but since it had started, it had to continue like this.
At this moment in Western Yan, the Little Prince still showed no signs of improvement. Therefore, Mo Xiao Li blamed everything on Mu Yueqing. In his view, everything stemmed from her; if it weren't for her, perhaps none of this would have happened.
Xia Ziqian stayed by the Little Prince's side day and night to treat him, but until now there had been no progress. Although he had woken up a few times during this period, each time he awoke he cried loudly. Being so young and unable to speak, no one knew exactly where he was hurting; they could only watch helplessly as he suffered.
Mo Xiao Li sent someone to summon Mu Yueqing. "Initially, I took you as a consort out of consideration for your father and even granted you the title of Noble Consort. You not only failed to show gratitude but also repeatedly attempted to harm the Empress. I could forgive you for those actions, but this time your behavior is absolutely unforgivable because what you did this time is simply too excessive."
Upon hearing Mo Xiao Li's words, Mu Yueqing, who was already somewhat weak, couldn't help but tremble slightly but still met his gaze and said, "The actions I took before as Consort I am willing to admit to; however, regarding poisoning the Prince, Consort truly did not do that. You must believe my words!"
Mo Xiao Li coldly laughed upon hearing this and looked at her. "At this point, do you still want to claim that I am framing you? With both witnesses and evidence present, what else do you have to say?"
Mu Yueqing realized she had no way out; her father had already been imprisoned. Although he hadn't been sentenced yet, everything should come to an end now. Unable to help herself, she laughed loudly and struggled to stand up, completely unconcerned about Mo Xiao Li's increasingly grim expression.
Staggering in front of Mo Xiao Li, she looked at him and said, "Your Majesty, sometimes I think you are quite pitiful; the woman you love harbors another man in her heart!"
Mo Xiao Li angrily raised his hand and slapped her cheek with such force that she involuntarily fell to the ground, lying there for a long time without reacting. He continued, "I didn't want to pay attention to you before, but I didn't expect you to become increasingly unruly. Since that's the case, I'll let you know what it means to survive in the harem."
Mu Yueqing finally struggled to sit up, gazing at Mo Xiao Li with a foolish smile, then said, "I know you hate me right now, but there are some things I feel I must tell you before I die because I truly loved you."
Mo Xiao Li remained silent, curious about what she wanted to say. Mu Yueqing immediately spoke up, "I know you've found me so annoying during this time, but that doesn't matter. After all, I'm just one of your many women, and that's enough for me. I don't need much. I once thought of ways to enter the palace, but I never expected everything to be so different from what I imagined. You only care for that woman, Mu Junqi, and you won't even spare a glance at anyone else. That's why I hate you so much. If you could share just a little of that love with me, it would be enough. But from beginning to end, you've never come to my chamber."
"So everything that happened later was forced upon me. When I learned that someone was going to poison Little Prince at his full moon banquet, I was genuinely pleased. I didn't expect someone else would have the same idea as me. But I never imagined the outcome would be like this. When I found out that even you believed it was all Mu Junqi's doing, I realized your love for her wasn't as deep as it seemed. However, this was something I was glad to see; I thought my chance had finally come. But I never expected you would bring her out again."
Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao Li was taken aback, not realizing there were so many things he didn't know behind this incident. His expression darkened as he looked at her and said, "And there are things that I don't know? You need to tell me everything now."
Mu Yueqing smiled and continued, "When I learned that you had brought her out again, I realized my heart was filled with hatred for her. So I sent people to assassinate her several times, but they all failed. Therefore, I thought it would be better for you to believe she betrayed you instead of killing her."
Mo Xiao Li widened his eyes as he listened to her words, never imagining it would turn out like this. Seeing his reaction, Mu Yueqing continued, "Originally, I just wanted to send someone to take her away and make you believe it was all her scheme to make you completely give up on her. But unexpectedly, someone secretly intervened and placed a decoy there, making you think she had been harmed while she completely disappeared. In the end, my father sent someone who finally discovered she went to Nanyang; you naturally know what happened afterward."
"Why tell me this? Wouldn't it be better if you kept quiet?"
Mu Yueqing sneered and said, "The reason I'm telling you is that I want you to know Mu Junqi isn't as cruel as you think. You wouldn't just sit back and watch her suffer in Nanyang; when you bring her back, it might be her death sentence because there's someone in this harem whose depths are unfathomable—this is all part of her scheme. The reason I'm doing this is also because someone sent me a note; otherwise, there wouldn't have been such a good plan."
"Who is that person?" Mo Xiao Li hurriedly asked.
"I don't know who she is, but I'm sure she's one of the people in this harem. As for the rest of the matter, that's for you to figure out; Consort naturally wouldn't know."
Listening to Mu Yueqing's words, Mo Xiao Li could only say, "You may leave now." Li Fusheng then took Mu Yueqing back.
