Chapter 365
The Jinluan Hall was brightly lit, and the maids and eunuchs were busy going back and forth. Mu Chu stood by the bed, carefully cleaning and bandaging Concubine Xu's wound.

Half an hour had passed, she raised her head, and there were still beads of sweat on the tip of her nose. It really took a lot of energy for her to sew up the wound on Concubine Xu's forehead by herself.

"Princess, how is the imperial concubine's health?"

Mu Chu showed a look of relief on his face: "It's nothing serious!"

If it hadn't been for the little palace maid next to her to stop her for a while, Concubine Xu might have really fallen here this time, but she also understood Xu Nan's mood at this time. As the daughter of a general, she has a stubborn personality. He looks soft and weak on the outside, but in his heart, he has his own ideas.

This time, it seemed that he was really pushed.

Mu Chu covered up the quilt on Concubine Xu, always feeling that this matter was a bit strange. Although Concubine Xu was framed and dragged along, she had been prepared in her heart, but she never expected that at the moment of executing King Li, she would be killed. People put it out, there is definitely a lot to say here.

"Princess, how do you know that the imperial concubine is busy?"

Mu Chu was taken aback for a moment, then came back to his senses, and looked into the eyes of the little maid next to Concubine Xu with a little surprise.

"Didn't you, Concubine Xu, ask the maid who was with you to find me in the mansion?"

The little maid was obviously surprised, she shook her head: "There is no such thing, the imperial concubine was also called suddenly, and there was no time to react, so why would I have the thought to go to the princess for help!"

When Mu Chu thought of the maid who came to the princess's mansion before, her eyes turned cold. It seems that someone deliberately lured her to the palace. As for the purpose...

She lowered her eyes slightly, glanced at Xu Nan who was lying motionless on the bed, and her heart shrank tightly.

"Tell me exactly how all this happened today, and explain it to the princess!"

Mu Chu frowned, her eyes were dark and deep, she was standing in the bright side hall, the light of the candlelight shone on her side face, it was inexplicable, giving people a very majestic atmosphere.

"Princess, the imperial concubine was taking good care of the little prince in the hall early in the morning. Suddenly someone broke in and asked the imperial concubine to carry the little prince to the Golden Palace. There was a person escorted in the hall, it was... the imperial concubine's. Confidant lady Lan Yu!"

The little maid paused, with a bit of annoyance on her face: "Lan Yu signed the pledge, saying that she saw the imperial concubine empress with others, and the little eunuch who was escorted up also admitted that she was a fake eunuch. On weekdays, I walked closest to the imperial concubine, so..."

"So Concubine Xu was betrayed by two people I trusted, right?"

The little maid nodded with a pale face, and tightly clenched her fingers.

Thinking of the dark criminal law, Mu Chu smiled lightly. It seems that the Queen Mother was already ready to deal with Concubine Xu.

"Although I don't know whether I should trust you or not, I hope you stay and take care of your master, and don't let anyone get close to you!"

The little palace maid nodded heavily, her eyes showing firmness.

Mu Chu stepped out of the room, and she wanted to take a look at the situation of the little emperor.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw the empress dowager and others walking towards him. On that dignified and graceful face, there was a sense of majesty that could not be ignored.

The civil and military officials were still guarding outside the hall, impatiently waiting for the news inside. Mu Chu saw that he had taken care of Concubine Xu's injuries, but the little emperor hadn't come out of the room yet, so he felt a little surprised.

"Empress Dowager, it's not good, the emperor is depressed, his blood is blocked, and he has an emergency!"

The Queen Mother frowned, and asked calmly, "What's going on, where is Lan Shaoqing?"

Seeing the Queen Mother giving orders in the palace, Mu Chu stood at the door without moving.

Even so, the moment the queen mother raised her head, her eyes swept over Mu Chu's body.

"When did Princess Chu come, and why is she still standing here?"

Eunuch Lu didn't know when he came forward and came to the Queen Mother. Mu Chu saw everything in front of him clearly, but felt a little surprised.

The confidant next to the little emperor, Eunuch Lu, the veteran of the two dynasties, is it possible that he is also the Queen Mother's staff?

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, Princess Chu stayed here when the emperor fell ill, but she didn't care about the emperor's life or death, and went to take the lead in treating the concubines. Now the head of Lan Yuan is treating the emperor inside, but the situation is not optimistic!"

After the Queen Mother heard this, a stern look flashed between her brows, she took a few steps towards Mu Chu's direction, and shouted in a low voice: "Mu Chu, are you guilty?"

Mu Chu raised his head slightly, raised his eyebrows lightly: "What does the queen mother mean by this, and why is Mu Chu guilty?"

"Disregarding the life of the emperor, the so-called disloyalty, what you did before has exposed your mind!"

The queen mother's voice was steady, with an aggressive and oppressive air. After hearing this, Mu Chu chuckled lightly.

"The queen mother's words are a bit too strong and unreasonable. Mu Chu is not an imperial doctor. Healing and saving people depends on ability. The emperor's illness is really powerless for the princess!"

She raised her head slightly, speaking righteous words.

After listening to the queen mother, she suddenly took back her previous words.

"If you can't cure it, then you can't be blamed, Eunuch Lu, what disease does the emperor suffer from?"

Eunuch Lu lowered his eyes slightly, and said in a high-pitched voice, "To tell you the truth, the queen mother, the emperor's illness is exactly the same as that of the former emperor!"

When these words came out of Eunuch Lu's mouth, all the ministers present at the court suddenly boiled, with despair on their faces.

"Empress Dowager, it took only five days for the first emperor to go from illness to death, and now the emperor..."

Although the rest of the words were not finished, everyone present understood everything in their hearts.

The empress dowager's eye circles turned red in an instant, and the old mother at the side quickly sent a silk handkerchief to wipe the corners of the empress dowager's eyes.

After a while, the air pressure in the entire palace began to drop, and everyone looked in the direction of the queen mother in front of them, silent.

The atmosphere of despair lingered in the entire palace in an instant. Mu Chu stood beside him, listening to the words of these people, and suddenly moved his nose.

The vaguely scented scent has faded away.

If it wasn't for Mu Chu who still had a little impression, he would definitely not be able to smell it.

Regardless of the reaction of the ministers over there, she stood quietly and closed her eyes, carefully distinguishing the medicinal herbs in the fragrance.

"The emperor suffered from such a serious illness, where did he put this country and society? Now Li Wang is already a criminal minister, and the empress dowager is missing. In addition, Xu Guifei did such a careless thing. What happened to her? The son and the emperor have absolutely no blood relationship, all lovers should make plans early!"

As soon as these words came out, all the courtiers present were in an uproar.

Except for the ministers who were still standing beside General Xu, all the rest showed respectful expressions. All the ministers bowed to the Empress Dowager to be rude: "Please tell the Empress Dowager whether you want to adopt the blood of a few princes?"
