Chapter 1078: Chapter 1078: 1076: Messing Up the Matchmaking Register

She was a girl who loved to laugh, her journey was filled with cheerful banter, unconsciously putting people at ease.

Mo Qi watched her enter the Prime Minister’s Estate, his heart clouded with doubt as if suddenly chiseled open.

When he returned to the palace, Su Yingxue had already risen from her noon nap and had summoned him to her bedroom specifically to read his pulse.

When diagnosing illness, Su Yingxue’s expression was serious; her entire demeanor was extremely meticulous, conveying a sense of steadiness and reassurance.

Mo Qi harbored many doubts, “Your Highness, have I contracted some incurable disease?”

She was so serious, he even considered preparing for his own demise.

“Who said that?” Su Yingxue’s eyes widened, “What are you thinking at such a young age! I’m just checking to see if there are any side effects from the medicine you took, after all, this medicine is harmful to the body.”

Mo Qi was too anxious to wait for a reply from Rong Sheng, so she thought it best to pay extra attention.

From his pulse, it appeared that Mo Qi’s body retained no side effects from the medicine, but the letter from Rong Sheng indicated that this medicine could affect the nerves, and nervous system disorders are typically difficult to completely cure.

“There’s nothing wrong with your body for the time being, but if you feel unwell, remember to come to me immediately. Don’t waste time with the court physician. I was the one who prescribed the medicine for you, understand?”

Su Yingxue instructed earnestly.

Mo Qi nodded, “Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. But what exactly happened to me? Why did I seek Your Highness for medicine in the past?”

Great!

The medicine had worked so well he’d even forgotten that.

Su Yingxue couldn’t think of an excuse on the spot, but Chu Yihan had already spoken up, “Your old injury flared up, and Yingxue treated you with medicine, causing you to forget some past memories that need not be remembered. You don’t have to dwell on them.”

When Chu Yihan spoke, his tone was serious and authoritative, and Mo Qi trusted him completely, “Yes, master! I will not fret about the past I have forgotten.”

If they could be forgotten, they surely weren’t important matters.

As Mo Qi turned to leave, Su Yingxue inquired further, “Hey, Mo Qi, what do you think of the Second Young Miss from the Prime Minister’s Estate? You spent so much time with her today delivering her home… Did the two of you… enjoy each other’s company?”

Mo Qi nodded honestly, “Miss Leng is quite nice, not fussy at all. On the way to the Prime Minister’s residence, she even said she wanted to give me a tassel to hang on my jade pendant.”

Mo Qi lifted the jade pendant at his waist, originally a token. But after what Leng Muling said, he felt that it seemed rather plain.

Indeed, it was missing an attractive tassel.

“She truly has feelings for you! Emperor, you see, I wasn’t wrong!”

Su Yingxue proudly tugged on Chu Yihan’s sleeve, boasting about her accurate judgment.

Chu Yihan let Mo Qi go to do his tasks.

When it was just the two of them, he couldn’t help but lower his head to kiss her, “You really can’t stay idle, now even meddling in Mo Qi’s marriage affairs.”

“Mo Qi has been through life and death with the emperor for many years; naturally, I should be concerned! Moreover… since Hong Lian hurt him so deeply and he has forgotten, he should start a new life. I think Leng Muling is quite a good match, pretty and sweet-looking, and lively too. She and Mo Qi make a perfect pair!”

Chu Yihan didn’t object, “I reckon Leng Muling’s presence at court must have been urged by Zhuo Junli, it seems she herself is interested too.”

If it was really mutual affection, he wouldn’t mind smoothing things along, playing along to please Su Yingxue.

With her head nestled in his chest, Su Yingxue smacked her lips, “Tomorrow is the grand ceremony for the coronation of the empress, emperor, don’t you have some other ideas?”
