The emperor has been in poor health recently, his energy is getting worse day by day, and he always feels that his time is running out.

The more times like this, the more uneasy I feel, and the more obsessed I become with certain things and people.

He always felt that he owed Lu Jiuqing and wanted to make up for it.

He also felt that if he made Lu Jiuqing suffer for so long, would Lin Wanying hate him to death?

She would surely resent him for not taking good care of their daughter.

The emperor's face turned paler than before when he thought of this.

He reached out and grabbed the queen's wrist, and said in a deep voice: "Let Mo Xiao, we must find Lu Jiuqing as soon as possible."

After a pause, he sighed and said slowly: "I want to see her, but there are some things I haven't said to her yet... I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time."

The queen stiffened and said quickly: "What did your majesty say? As long as that girl comes back, your majesty can tell her anything you want at any time. It won't be too late."

The emperor didn't say anything, he just closed his eyes and said he was tired.

The queen paused, picked up the medicine bowl next to her, and said softly: "Your Majesty, drink the medicine before going to bed."

The emperor frowned, looking a little impatient: "This medicine has no effect."

He ate every meal, but his health became worse day by day.

The queen held the spoon and gave the emperor medicine, and said softly: "Your Majesty, this medicine is a new prescription recently prescribed by the Imperial Hospital. If you try it again, maybe it will be useful?"

The emperor took a sip and frowned: "Why is it so bitter?"

Queen: "Good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease."

Although the emperor was unhappy, he still wanted to live longer, so he endured the pain in his mouth and drank all the medicine.

After the emperor fell asleep, the queen wiped her hands with a handkerchief, got up, walked outside and sat down.

The maid serving personally looked at the queen's tired face and whispered: "My queen, why don't you go back and rest? Your majesty has been ill these days, and you have been taking care of him here. He hasn't had a good night's sleep in a long time."

The queen said calmly: "No need."

"But there are so many people in the harem, who are always attentive to His Majesty on weekdays. Now that His Majesty is ill, they should also take care of you. How can I let you..."

"Okay," the Queen interrupted her and looked at her coldly, "It's enough for me to take care of Your Majesty. You don't need anyone else. I don't want to hear these words a second time."

The palace maid pursed her lips and did not dare to say anything.

She was thinking of flattering him, but unexpectedly she slapped him on the horse's leg.

The queen picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, thinking in her heart that the current emperor naturally wanted her to take care of him personally, and it wouldn't be possible for anyone else to take care of him.

Time flies by, and five days have passed since Chen Yuan's wedding.

The letter had been kept at Mo Xiao's place, waiting for Chen Yuan to pick it up.

It was not until the evening of the fifth day that Chen Yuan arrived at the Ninth Prince's Mansion.

As soon as he entered the study, Chen Yuan looked at Mo Xiao and said politely: "It's not difficult to borrow something again. Your majestic prince, what's the point of borrowing something?"

Mo Xiao held the letter in his hand and said in a deep voice, "I didn't say I wouldn't return it."

Chen Yuan sneered: "Then what do you mean, Your Highness?"

Mo Xiao walked out from behind the desk, stood in front of Chen Yuan, and said in a deep voice: "Chen Yuan, tell me, what did you write in the part that was cut off?"

Chen Yuan's face darkened. She didn't expect to be able to hide it from Mo Xiao, but she didn't expect that Mo Xiao could question her so confidently.
