"Lao Qi, do you have any ideas?" Zhou Li looked at Yan Mu expectantly.

The corner of Yan Mu's mouth twitched, "You want me to protect Mrs. Hou's pregnancy?"

"But you are very capable!"

"I don't have the ability."

Zhou Lihuai couldn't help but sigh again, "Oh, by the way, you saved me, I want to say thank you."

Liu Yunxiang snorted, "Your thank you is too perfunctory."

"My life is still hanging in the balance, so don't worry about me." Zhou Lihuai drank a cup of tea and said, "Then Mrs. Hou has been crying all day long. How can she keep the fetus?"

"What did the emperor say?"

Zhou Lihuai leaned over and whispered: "The affair between him and Mrs. Hou has been exposed. His face has been very dark these past two days. Let's send someone to find out who leaked the information. Be careful and don't find it on your head."

Yan Mu nodded and said: "It's actually easy to save your life."

"Oh? What do you say?" Zhou Lihuai listened attentively.

"Mrs. Hou always cries. There must be evil spirits entering her body. Anyway, Zhuangzi is very close to the Yunxia Mountain Taoist Temple, and Hongxuan Taoism in the temple is profound. Let him exorcise Mrs. Hou's evil spirits. Maybe Mrs. Hou will stop crying. This belly

The fetus can also be saved.”

Zhou Lihuai raised his eyebrows, "Are you not smiling happily?"

Yan Mu shook his head, "You still have to prove to the Emperor that your medical skills are not good and that you are not as experienced as the old doctors at the Imperial Hospital. Please ask the Emperor to let all the imperial doctors at the Imperial Hospital protect Mrs. Hou's pregnancy. If the pregnancy cannot be saved, the Emperor will not kill her seriously.

He has treated so many imperial doctors."

Zhou Lihuai's eyes lit up, "This is a method. If so, there is no need to ask Taoist Hongxuan to do it."

"Yes." Yan Mu's lips curled up, "He is the popular person in front of the Emperor. With him supporting you, what are you afraid of?"

Zhou Lihuai nodded hurriedly, "You're right, you're right, I'll do it now!"

With that said, Zhou Lihuai hurriedly ran out, ran to the door and turned around and shouted: "Old Qi, I'll treat you to a drink later!"

After Zhou Lihuai left, Liu Yunxiang was a little puzzled: "The second sentence, asking all the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital to protect Mrs. Hou's pregnancy, will indeed help Zhou Lihuai, but the first sentence asked Hongxuan to do it, you have your own purpose, right?"

"Well, bring Hongxuan in."

"Why?"

"I want to take advantage of the emperor's trust in him and ask him to help me achieve something."

Jinyan shouted that it was time for dinner, but Liu Yunxiang didn't ask again.

"Let's eat."

Yan Mu responded and saw Liu Yunxiang turned around and walked out, "Tonight..."

"What?" Liu Yunxiang looked back at Yan Mu, "What's going on tonight?"

Yan Mu pursed his lips, "Are you going back to sleep in this room?"

Liu Yunxiang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "No."

"Why don't I go back to the middle courtyard? It won't be comfortable for you and two children to sleep in the same room."

Liu Yunxiang sighed softly, "Okay,"

Yan Mu frowned, he thought Liu Yunxiang would not agree, but she agreed.

After dinner, Yan Mu returned to the courtyard. Liu Yunxiang played with the two children for a while and then coaxed them to sleep.

"Mom, why doesn't daddy live in this hospital anymore?" Yan'er asked.

"Dad and mother had a fight." Mr. Xingyi said.

"Do dad and mom also quarrel? Why?"

"Children, don't ask about adult matters."

"Does sister know?"

"I don't want to know. Adults are very small-minded. They don't want us to have a quarrel and then make up after a while."

"Sister is right, adults are all petty."

The two children lay on their own beds, had a conversation, and then fell asleep with their hands on the quilt. Liu Yunxiang was so funny that she didn't even have time to speak.

Returning to the west room, Liu Yunxiang saw the cloak hanging in front of the bed. It belonged to Yan Mu. It was getting cold at night, so she had to put it on when she went out. She took the cloak and went to the middle courtyard.

When she came to the courtyard gate, she saw Yan Mu standing in the middle of the courtyard with his hands behind his back, and a person standing behind him, reporting something.

Liu Yunxiang took a closer look and saw that this was not Jiang Yuan!

Has he come back from West Vietnam? Have you found the antidote to Xiaoyaosan?

She was about to go in when she saw Jiang Yuan take out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and hand it to Yan Mu.

"Your Highness, the news from Chongming is accurate. We have found the antidote to Xiaoyaosan."

Yan Mu took the small porcelain bottle and raised it in front of him, "After taking this antidote, will I be able to remember everything?"

"yes."

Yan Mu stared at the antidote for a while, then put it in his arms.

"Your Highness, why don't you take it?"

Yan Mu said calmly: "It's not the time yet."

"But Madam must be very anxious."

Yan Mu glanced at the door and said, "Wait a moment."

Knowing that his master had an idea, Jiang Yuan stopped trying to persuade him.

"You should leave for Luzhou as soon as possible. I have something to tell you."

"yes."

Liu Yunxiang didn't go in. He took back one foot that stepped onto the threshold and turned around to go back to his own courtyard. He said he asked her to wait a little longer, so just wait a little longer.

Early the next morning, the emperor summoned several ministers to the study.

Yan Mu arrived later and when he came in, he saw the emperor picking up a tea cup and smashing it with the hot water in it, hitting Shangguan Xu who was kneeling on the ground on his forehead.

The emperor looked furious, so this move was very forceful. After Yan Mu saluted, he lowered his head and saw that Shangguan Xu's forehead was bleeding immediately. But he did not dare to wipe it, and just knelt down.

"Your Majesty, this old slave did things poorly and failed to restrain his subordinates. Please forgive me."

Yan Mu lowered his eyes, knowing that the emperor was so angry because it was discovered that the scandal between him and Mrs. Hou was leaked from the West Factory. If it had been anyone else, the emperor would have ordered them to be killed.

Because of this scandal, he, a great man of ninety-five years, has lost all face. He has not gone to court for two days in a row because he is afraid of being criticized by public officials.

Shangguan Xu was unjustly accused, but the news was indeed leaked from the West Factory. Instead of making excuses and making the emperor even more angry, it is better to attribute the blame to the lax governance and let the emperor calm down first.

The emperor looked at Shangguan Xu, whose face was covered in blood after being hit by him. After all, he was the old man next to him, and he was also his right-hand man. He couldn't really kill him.

"If you investigate carefully and find out who leaked it, you will never be lenient," the emperor said.

"Yes, I must give an explanation to the emperor."

"Okay, get up."

Shangguan Xu wanted to stand up, but his legs seemed to be weak and he fell forward. Yan Mu quickly helped him with his eyes and hands.

"Lord, be careful."

Shangguan Xu hurriedly turned around and saluted: "Thank you, Your Highness, Seventh Highness."

The two exchanged glances briefly, Yan Mu was cunning and Shangguan Xu was gloomy.

The other ministers seemed to be counting the time. They waited until the emperor finished teaching Shangguan Xu a lesson before they came in. Apparently they were afraid of offending the wrath of the saint. Yan Mu lowered his eyes. When he passed by just now, no one among them stopped him.

, a group of old foxes.

"I haven't been feeling well these past two days, so I didn't go to court, but there were some political matters that I couldn't delay. First of all, Zhang Zhouqian, the governor of Youzhou, resigned from his post due to the recurrence of his old injury, coupled with his old age and inability to do what he wanted. And Youzhou

This is an important military town and cannot be without a commander for a day. Do you have anyone to recommend?" the emperor asked.

A minister said: "I wonder who Governor Zhang recommended?"

"Youzhou Lieutenant General Cheng'an."

"I thought that since he was recommended by Governor Zhang, and he is the deputy general guarding Youzhou, he is familiar with Youzhou's military affairs, so he is a good candidate."

Another minister echoed: "General Cheng has also achieved many military exploits and is indeed the most suitable candidate."

Several other ministers recommended Cheng An, but the emperor seemed a little dissatisfied. He looked up and saw Yan Mu standing there without saying a word.
