The emperor picked up the pill, looked at it, then threw it into his mouth and swallowed it with ginseng tea.

I don’t know if this elixir really works or it’s a psychological effect, but after taking it, the emperor always felt that he was energetic again and his body was much more relaxed.

"Master Qingxu's elixirs are getting better and better!"

"Yes, it is worth it that the emperor has shown great kindness to him. He should do his best."

……

Mu Bo didn't know that the emperor had given up on him. After applying the medicine given to him by Qingxu for a few days, his symptoms indeed improved a lot, and even the pustules on his skin disappeared a lot.

After his symptoms were alleviated, he became a little distracted again and secretly found a palace maid to have fun with. On the other side, Qingxu was still reading medical books, anxious to find an antidote for him.

If he knew that Mu Bo did not care about his own health and acted recklessly, he would definitely tear up the medical book in anger.

At the same time, Xiao Mingyue's health was gradually improving. After taking pregnancy-preserving drugs for a few days, she finally no longer felt the stomach pain and was able to walk slowly.

After she was able to go out for a walk, she couldn't help but go to the study again.

This time she brought Taozhi in with her and asked Taozhi to tidy up the study. If she found anything suspicious, she must show it to her immediately.

Lu Yu had been buried yesterday. Because she had a miscarriage, she was unable to see Lu Yu off for the last time. The entire process was completed by the housekeeper on her behalf.

People outside only heard that Xiao Mingyue was too sad and had a miscarriage, so she didn't show up. Xu was worried about her daughter and came to visit her yesterday.

Because Xiao Mingzhi married the well-educated and well-mannered Aunt Sun, he looked down upon Xu more and more, and he might not visit her even once a month.

Xiao Mingyue was already upset, and after Xu came, she started complaining soon after. After scolding Xiao Mingzhi, she scolded Aunt Sun and said that she was the reincarnation of a fox spirit.

It is worth mentioning that Aunt Sun did give birth to a boy. Although he was born out of wedlock, he was Xiao Mingzhi’s first son, so Xiao Mingzhi loved him like the apple of his eye.

Old Mrs. Xiao also loved this grandson very much, and sent good things to Aunt Sun's yard like water, which made the jealous Xu's eyes red.

Finally, Xiao Mingyue couldn't stand her mother's complaints anymore and just said she was tired, and then Xu left.

Thinking of how Xu cried in front of him yesterday, Xiao Mingyue couldn't help but sigh.

My mother has always been unreliable, and now I have even lost my father's favor. I am afraid that my situation in the Xiao family will become more and more difficult in the future.

Thinking of Xu and then thinking of herself, Xiao Mingyue felt that her life was even harder than Xu's.

Since Lu Yu's death, only Xu from the Xiao family came to see her yesterday. The rest of Old Madam Xiao and her father never showed up, which was really embarrassing for her.

But it doesn’t matter. As long as she can find evidence to prove that Lu Yu is the emperor’s child, she can be superior to others with the little grandson in her belly!

At that time, no matter whether it is Xiao Ruge or the Xiao family, they will have to bow to me respectfully when they see me.

But she forgot that if that day really came, the Xiao family might give her a gift, but Xiao Ruge would never do that.

After all, Xiao Ruge is the future princess consort, while she is just the widow of a deceased prince. Their status and position are not at the same level at all.

"Ma'am, here are some letters!"

Xiao Mingyue was sitting on the chaise longue, thinking about something, when she heard Taozhi calling her. She quickly asked Taozhi to give her the letter.

There was no signature on the envelope and the seal had been opened. She took out the letter and read it, and found that it was evidence of Minister Yang's bribery, and it also involved the Minister of Personnel. This was a big deal.

She tightly grasped the letter in her hand, thinking about how to use this matter to bring herself the greatest benefit, and her arms unconsciously rested on a low frame next to the chaise longue.

As a result, because the force was too great, the low frame was actually pushed forward and turned. Then a mechanical sound was heard, and a secret compartment appeared on the north wall.

"lady!"

Taozhi opened her mouth in surprise and looked at Xiao Mingyue in shock.

"Hel me over!"

Reaching out her hand to Taozhi, Xiao Mingyue was helped up by her and quickly walked to the secret compartment.

There were a few pieces of paper and a purse in the secret compartment. She did not take them out immediately, but after she took out the peach branch, she could not wait to take out everything inside.

There were poems written on several pieces of paper, a total of three pieces. Xiao Mingyue took a look and found that they were all poems written under the moon and flowers.

She placed the paper with the poem on it on the desk, then opened her purse, revealing a pigeon-blood-red jade ring inside. She gently stroked the ring.

Suddenly, she felt something on the inner ring of the ring scraping her fingertips. She picked it up and looked at it carefully, and found the word "Ji" engraved on the inner ring.

The word "Ji" was the emperor's name when he was young. After he became emperor, few people mentioned it again. Even the empress dowager usually only called him "Emperor". No one dared to call the emperor by his name directly.

Xiao Mingyue became excited when she saw it, and hurried to check the purse. Unfortunately, there was no signature on the purse, only a lotus embroidered on it.

However, with these things, I can prove a lot of things. As long as I tell the emperor Lu Yu's date of birth, I believe the emperor will believe me!

But she heard that she was just a general's widow and could not enter the palace at all. At this time, she thought of Xiao Ruge again, so she asked someone to prepare a car and visit the general's mansion again.

Unfortunately, she came at an inopportune time today. Xiao Ruge had gone out with Mu Gu, so she came to nothing.

When she was on her way back home, she accidentally saw Minister Yang, which made her eyes light up instantly.

"parking!"

Seeing Minister Yang enter a restaurant, she followed him in.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Minister Yang disappear at the door of a private room on the second floor, so she hurriedly chased after him. As a result, just as Minister Yang sat down, she saw Xiao Mingyue, dressed in white and with a small white flower on her hair, walking in.

"Mrs. Lu? Why are you here?"

Xiao Mingyue asked Taozhi to guard the door first. After the door was closed, she sat down opposite Minister Yang with a smile.

"Minister Yang can come here to eat, so why can't I?"

Minister Yang looked her up and down and felt that she didn't come here to eat, but rather, more like she was here to see him.

He asked tentatively, "Mrs. Lu, are you here to see me?"

"Minister Yang is really smart!"

Xiao Mingyue glanced at Minister Yang with a smile, then reached out to pour herself a glass of water. However, she found that it contained tea, so she put it back with a look of disgust on her face.

She is pregnant now and the doctor has advised her not to drink tea.

Minister Yang looked at Xiao Mingyue without saying anything, just waiting for her to tell the reason herself.

Sure enough, after twisting her body to find a comfortable position, Xiao Mingyue said, "I need Minister Yang to help me meet the emperor!"
