Open mouth

  Hui Ying knocked gently on the door outside, and after a while, she heard the person inside give a faint order: "Come in!"

  The moment the door opened, a brilliant light seized the opportunity to stumble and rush in, completely exposing the figure stepping on golden light under the white sun.

  At a rough glance, the young servant's appearance was almost indistinguishable from that of the attendant on the high floor of the inn that day.

  A wisp of incense wafted from the ancient bronze censer, swirling around the desk. The thin lips curved into a faint, arrogant smile, distinct from the low, playful tone. The man's voice was like a cold wind blowing through the alleyway, his deep, resonant tones asking, "Did anyone see you on your way out and back?"

  "Report to the Crown Prince, no one is present." The ordinary face and the action of swallowing saliva were exactly the same as that person called 'Tongzi' yesterday.

  Mozi gently put down the letter in her hand and asked: "What did you gain from it?"

  Yinzi took out a note from his bosom and handed it over with respect, "Princess Gaoyang and Prince Yue have gone to Xiangjiang Building."

  "They seem to have a good relationship."

  The princess and the young prince met the Night Hawk Prince of Moge.

  Mo Zi Yun's hand paused, and then he couldn't help but smile, his thin lips slightly curled up. He muttered to himself, not caring about the gossip, "I reckon she probably knows that I might be her future husband, so she can't wait to meet me."

  Yinzi looked up in surprise, how could such words come from Master's mouth?

  He couldn't help but think of his master's abnormal behavior yesterday, the one who usually didn't leave the house suddenly took a copper coin and went to the nearest inn outside the west city gate without warning, and was even enthusiastic about watching the excitement. He would have thought he was crazy if he hadn't known that his own master had gone mad somewhere.

  He felt a sudden chill on top of his head and immediately stopped guessing, lowering his head as if he knew nothing.

  "The Crown Prince! Imperial Physician Guan requests an audience." A calm and unhurried announcement suddenly came from outside the door.

  Yinzi hastily lifted his head and indeed saw that the person in front of him had transformed into another appearance, the speed was so fast that it left him staring with his mouth agape.

  The door was opened again, and the old man's voice, filled with a mix of respect and concern, suddenly rang out: "I said that opening windows for ventilation is beneficial to the young master's illness! Why don't you listen to my words?"

  Yinzi couldn't bear his scolding, holding the psychology of respecting doctors and valuing virtue, immediately opened the window, "Guan Taigong is right! It was Yinzi's negligence."

  The imperial physician looked at the pale-faced man on the chair and smiled warmly: "The prince should still take more time to ventilate and change the air, as the saying goes, when the air is smooth, the spleen is calm. If you stay in this house all day, it's hard to guarantee that your illness won't worsen."

  Mu Zi Jin coughed repeatedly before finally seeming to catch her breath, "Thank you, old doctor, for coming every day to treat me."

  Guan Taiyi hastily waved his hand, "Your Highness is being polite, I am just doing my duty."

  As he spoke, he felt the pulse of Mu Zi's wrist with one hand. "The old minister sees that the prince's complexion has improved somewhat today, and it should be the effect of the thousand-year-old Lingzhi bestowed by Your Majesty a few days ago. Now that the prince is walking without worry, it's better to go out and turn around more."

  Yinzi couldn't believe it and asked, "Is what Guan Taisheng said really true?" Rumors had been circulating in the streets that his master would not live for more than three months, but how could Guan Taisheng's words give him a sense of revival?

  He secretly glanced at his master, whose lightly drooping bangs covered his eyebrows. The cold and stern demeanor had faded away, revealing a frail and sickly appearance that was so pale and bloodless it made one overlook his originally handsome and proud features, leaving only a weak and fragile aura in his eyes.

  "Gu Taiyi glared at him, 'What? Do you doubt my words?' He could still walk from the bedroom all the way to this study with such energy, he won't die anytime soon!"

  The imperial physician said words that went against his heart, but he had no choice. However, due to the emperor's instructions, even if he were beaten to death, he didn't dare say in front of Moxi: "Your days are numbered, hurry up and take a look at this world while you still can! The flowers, grass, and trees are so beautiful, the sunrise and sunset are so magnificent, if you don't go now, you'll never have the chance again!"

  And so on.

  Whether it was by imperial order or a doctor's advice, he couldn't bring himself to say it.
