Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

Chapter 244
In early spring, the thin cold invaded the bones, and when Mu Liuchun left Xuanguang Hall, it was already evening.

He was dressed in white, and walked slowly on the quiet palace road, his footsteps were a little fluffy, and the cold wind blew his loose robe, making him look thinner and frail.But at this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Is Master Guoshi okay?"

Mu Liuchun was startled, turned around, and saw Fu Mingjue walking towards him.

"Thank you, my lord, for your concern. I'm fine." There was a trace of alienation in the polite tone.

Fu Mingjue's eyes fell on that plain face, trying to find a flaw in it.After a short pause, he said: "The national teacher is willing to sacrifice his life for the unification of Southern Xinjiang. It is a great righteousness. It's just that this king doesn't understand why you, as a person from Dayan, are so loyal to Southern Xinjiang?"

For Fu Xiuyun, the conditions proposed by Mu Liuchun were indeed a profitable deal.Helping Nan Qingfeng to dominate southern Xinjiang can not only save Xie Yuanting, but also win over Dayan.Therefore, the two reached an agreement that if Mu Liuchun could wake Xie Yuanting up, Fu Xiuyun would immediately send troops to the southern border.

Although Nan Yu disagreed with life and death, under Mu Liuchun's warning, he finally stopped arguing.

Although Mu Liuchun said that saving Xie Yuanting would not harm his own life, Fu Mingjue knew that he was lying.

Hearing this, Mu Liuchun looked as usual, and said: "Since I am the national teacher of Southern Border, I should naturally think about the people of Southern Border. I have no righteousness in my heart, but I only want the people to have no worries and peace in the world. If I can With my meager strength, in exchange for a hundred years of friendship between Dayan and Nanjiang, why not do it?"

"I remember that in the past, apart from the king, the saintess had the most power in Southern Xinjiang, but you were able to sit firmly on the position of national teacher in just six years and became a pivotal figure in Southern Border."

Fu Mingjue looked at those colorless pupils, with a meaningful smile on his lips: "My lord, in fact, when I saw you for the first time, I thought you looked like a Old man."

At that time, the wind passed by and the robes of the two of them rattled, neither of them spoke, they just stood silently on the quiet palace road.

Mu Liuchun's face was as indifferent as ever, but no matter how she tried to conceal it, she couldn't hide the waves in her eyes.After many years, the once indifferent and withdrawn boy has grown into a powerful minister. He is more sensitive than before, and he can see through all his disguises at a glance.

The clear mountains are never tired, and the spring is late.

However, Qingshan is dead, and now only Mu Liuchun is standing in front of him.

"Since we are old people, it has become the past, so why should the prince never forget the past?" His eyes were as calm and deep as an ancient pool, and his tone did not fluctuate at all, "It's getting late, the prince should go back earlier."

After finishing speaking, he turned and left, leaving only a white phantom.

Fu Mingjue stood on the spot without saying a word, looking at the direction he left, his dark eyes gradually deepened.

Although Mu Liuchun didn't admit it personally, but what he just said has made everything clear. It seems that he is trying to persuade him not to dwell on the past, but in fact he wants him to persuade the eldest princess to let go.

Back then, the entire family of Xue's family died in battle, and the eldest princess was heartbroken. Regardless of the empress dowager's obstruction, she decided to go to southern Xinjiang to look for Xue Qingshan.If he hadn't stopped her in time, the eldest princess would have left the capital long ago.Later, he led people deep into the southern border, and after searching for three days and three nights, he finally found Xue Qingshan's body in the Sunset Cloud Valley.

Until now, Fu Mingjue still remembered how the eldest princess broke down and cried when she saw Xue Qingshan's body.

The eldest princess later remarried to the son of Duke Anguo, and within three months, Duke Anguo's mansion was destroyed.At that time, everyone only thought that An Guogong had committed the crime of treason, which led to his murder.But Fu Mingjue knew that the eldest princess was avenging the Xue family.

After so many years, the Eldest Princess lived a comfortable life on the surface, but Xie Yuanting lying in the Xuanguang Palace at this time is the evidence that she can't forget Xue Qingshan.

If the eldest princess knew that Xue Qingshan, who had been dead for many years, was not only alive, but even in the capital, there would probably be a big commotion.

After careful consideration, Fu Mingjue decided to hide the matter, even if he wanted to say it, at least he had to wait until Xie Yuanting woke up
The night slowly fell, and the powerless sunset was swallowed up by the black clouds that crushed the city.The lights in Fengyi Palace are gradually burning, and the flickering candlelight is reflected on the heavy gauze bead curtain, making it even more hazy and dim.

Chun Lin opened the gauze curtain and came in, with very light steps, greeted Qing Dai who was guarding the queen, and signaled her to come out.

Qing Dai glanced at the sleeping queen, got up, and followed her lightly.

After closing the hall door and confirming that no one in the hall would hear her, Qing Dai asked: "How is it? Young Master, have you woken up?"

Chun Lin shook his head heavily, and said softly: "I haven't woken up yet, but there is news from Xuanguang Palace that they have found a way to detoxify. I believe you will wake up after waiting for two more days."

Hearing this news, Qing Dai secretly heaved a sigh of relief.When she heard the news of Lushan being exterminated that day, she almost passed out, if Chunlin hadn't reminded her that the Empress still needs them, she might not be able to hold on.

"Your Majesty has managed to eat a lot in the past few days. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen?" Qing Dai said, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably, "Fortunately, the young master escaped, if the young master is the same as the empress .”

Seeing her like this, Chun Lin felt sore in his heart, and comforted him: "Young master is lucky to be alive, don't cry, when the empress wakes up and sees you like this, she will inevitably ask more questions. Your Majesty will come tonight , let's get ready first."

Qing Dai put away her tears, her voice choked with sobs: "I don't know how long I can keep this secret."

"Let's take one step at a time," Chunlin sighed, "Perhaps when the young master wakes up, His Majesty will tell the empress."

"Well, now I only hope that the young master can wake up earlier."

The voices of the two talking became farther and farther away, but they didn't know that the figure under the window had been standing for a long time.

The queen stared blankly at their distant figures, her eyes were blank, she was immersed in what they said just now, unable to return to her senses for a long time.She has been feeling flustered for the past few days, and can't sleep peacefully at night. She thought it was because she was overthinking, but she didn't expect that something happened to A Yuan?
Although Xie Yuanting does not return home all year round, he writes letters every year to report his safety, but this year's letter has not arrived
The queen tried her best to calm herself down, leaning on the cold window sill and walking out, her frail and slender back showed a point of determination.

The palace lanterns under the eaves were flickering in the cold wind, but the Xuanguang Hall was brightly lit.Sun Fuzhi stood by Xie Yuanting's side, holding a pen while writing down the changes in his pulse.

Since Mu Liuchun fed Xie Yuanting a bowl of blood, the Gu worms in his body seemed to be comforted and gradually calmed down.At night, the pulse condition has stabilized a lot, showing signs of waking up.

Just as he was about to give Xie Yuanting the second injection, there was a panicked voice outside the hall——

"Empress, why are you here?"
