After rebirth, the prince fell into the hands of the princess again

Rong Yan shook his head. Tang Mumu was a hopeless woman. Even he himself was greatly affected. Whenever he was with Tang Mumu, he became as calculative as a child.

Not long after, someone came outside the house and told them that the emperor wanted to see them. Rong Yan and Tang Mumu looked at each other, and Rong Yan immediately stood up and went to open the door.

The person who came was the emperor's attendant. His father actually asked him to convey a message. It seemed that the empress dowager was in a bad condition. Naturally, Tang Mumu could also think of what he thought of. Her face turned pale immediately, but she tried hard not to let anyone see it.

"Please lead the way, Eunuch Chen."

Rong Yan gave the order, and Eunuch Chen turned around and quickened his pace. Tang Mumu was walking when her cold palms were wrapped by a big hand. Rong Yan's hands were warm, and she felt comfortable being held by him.

Somehow, Tang Mumu seemed less afraid when Rong Yan was around. It seemed that as long as he was there, she would not go through the mountains of swords and seas of fire alone.

The atmosphere in the Empress Dowager's bedroom was low. When Rong Yan and Tang Mumu entered, the imperial doctors were kneeling on the floor in the room and several concubines were sobbing softly. Tang Zhengfeng was standing behind the emperor with a livid face. Seeing this, Tang Mumu's heart sank to the bottom. It seemed that the Empress Dowager was in a very bad condition.

"Greetings, father." Rong Yan bowed and saluted. Tang Mumu followed his movements but was unable to speak.

Emperor An's face looked very bad, as if a storm was about to come. Tang Mumu tried her best to reduce her presence, but Emperor An still stared at her at first sight.

"Princess Rong, don't you come over and take a look?"

Tang Mumu's legs almost went limp with fear. What did this mean? Did they decide after so long that she was the one who poisoned the Queen Mother?

"Father, how is the Royal Grandmother?"

Since there was no way to avoid it, there was no point in hiding. Tang Mumu forced herself to remain calm and moved sideways towards the bed. The empress dowager, who was full of energy just now, was now pale, lying motionless on the bed like a well-behaved old man.

Li Chongde, please tell Princess Rong how the Queen Mother is doing."

Li Chongde was the head of the Imperial Medical Service. When he looked up, his lips were pale and his face was covered in sweat.

"I am incompetent and cannot find out what poison the Queen Mother has been poisoned with, let alone how to cure it. Judging from her pulse, the Queen Mother has at most seven days left."

The situation was indeed very bad. Hearing this, Tang Mumu calmed down. The fact that even the Imperial Hospital could not detect the poison further proved that she was not the one who did it. If Emperor An was a smart person, he would not have wrongly accuse her.

Looking at the weak person on the bed, Tang Mumu felt a little bit reluctant. No matter what, at this moment she was just a sick and weak old woman.

The casual glance made Tang Mumu freeze in place. It took him a long while to force himself to calm down and find his original voice.

"Father, the most important thing right now is to gather famous doctors. We still have seven days left, so we must not give up. The Royal Grandmother has always been in good health, so I'll have to trouble Doctor Li to take care of her during these seven days. You must buy some time for the Royal Grandmother. I heard that there is a ghost market among the people, where rare and precious herbs are most common. Although this was not done by my daughter-in-law, in order to prove her innocence, I am willing to go to the ghost market in person to ask for medicine."

Tang Mumu knelt upright and spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, even Tang Zhengfeng who was standing by was stunned. He never knew that his daughter had such courage. She really looked a bit like himself when he was young.

"Father, this matter concerns the innocence of Prince Rong's Mansion. I am willing to accompany the princess to the ghost market. Please grant my wish."

Emperor An paced back and forth in front of the bed, and after a moment he said, "Okay, I'll give you this chance. If you can't find a life-saving medicine, Princess Rong, in order to give an explanation to the ministers, I can't save you."

Tang Mumu gritted her teeth and kowtowed, "Yes, my daughter-in-law knows."

Seven days, they only had seven days. Sitting in the carriage on the way back home, Tang Mumu still felt it was unreal. This night was truly thrilling.

Seeing her tired face, Rong Yan thought she was afraid and comforted her: "Even if we can't find the life-saving medicine in the end, I will stand by you and will never let you bear it alone."

Tang Mumu came back to her senses and glanced at him. "It's okay. I can cure the Queen Mother's poison. There is indeed medicine in the Ghost Market that can save her. It's just that it may be a little difficult to get the medicine. I have to rely on you."

Rong Yan frowned. Tang Mumu could cure poisons that even the Imperial Hospital couldn't, and she also knew about the ghost market. She knew too much and didn't seem like a lady at all.

"Are you really Tang Mumu?"

"Why are you asking such a stupid question again? Who else could I be if not Tang Mumu? My father is here tonight, can a father mistake his own daughter?"

"I was just asking casually, there's no need for you to react so violently."

Tang Mumu took a deep breath and tried to calm down. "You asked some random questions, so I naturally overreacted. If you have time to ask such stupid questions, you might as well think about how to get the antidote from the ghost market."

"How do you know about the ghost market? Which elixir can cure the poison?"

"You need a detoxifying agent, Blood Gardenia, a fresh plant that looks like a gardenia, plus my blood, and the queen mother will be cured after taking it. As for the ghost market, anyone with a little bit of insight will know about it."

The Ghost Market is the largest underground trading market in the Le Dynasty. It is dark and gloomy. Once you become a ghost dealer, you will never be able to leave the Ghost Market for the rest of your life. The Ghost Market has its own operating rules. It is rumored that there is a Ghost Master in the Ghost Market, and the Ghost Market was created by him, but no one has ever seen the Ghost Master.

For those who are not tolerated by the world, the Ghost Market is their home. For those who can enter the Ghost Market, killing is a piece of cake for them. Once in the Ghost Market, no one cares about their past and they only hope for a new life. Therefore, there are many serious criminals who have committed many evil things in the Ghost Market. After escaping and having nowhere to go, they enter the Ghost Market. Whether it is the underworld or the imperial court, there is an unwritten rule that no matter what a person has done outside, as long as he enters the Ghost Market, he will no longer exist in the world and his crimes will be wiped out.

Ordinary people want to enter the Ghost Market and have to obtain a Rebirth Order. If they break their rules in the Ghost Market, there is no possibility of leaving. Even if people outside die in the Ghost Market, no one dares to seek revenge.

It has become common to enter the ghost market but not leave. The dead are dead and no one else is interested in them. All the rare things in the world are in the ghost market. If you want something, your life is worthless.

Rong Yan was half-believing and half-doubting, but Tang Mumu's words could convince him. Not only the people in the martial arts world, but also the imperial court had always known about the existence of the Ghost Market. She was not an ordinary lady, so it made sense that she knew about the Ghost Market.

"Okay, I'll trust you for now. Give me the Rebirth Order and we'll go to the Ghost Market together."

The two of them hurried and arrived at the ghost market before sunset the next day.

Many people have heard of the reputation of the Ghost Market, but not many have actually been there. When Tang Mumu first saw the entrance to the Ghost Market, he was worried that his trip was in vain. After a day of trekking through mountains and rivers, he only saw a small path in the wilderness that looked like it led to an underground cemetery.
