Chapter 770 The Dragon's Body Gradually Heals!
The emperor not only felt that his body was no longer as heavy as before, but also that his head seemed to be much clearer, and even his vision seemed to be clearer than before.
The Emperor was overjoyed. Watching the Empress help him change his clothes, he smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Anuan's dietary therapy would be so effective."
"Yes, I heard from Ah Nuan that the fourth brother also gave some excellent suggestions on the recipe they ordered."
The Emperor looked at the Empress's complexion and smiled, "Your complexion is indeed better than mine; you look at least ten years younger than me."
The Empress gave him a reproachful look, "You're joking again. I'm only a few years younger than Your Majesty."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Upon hearing the Emperor's hearty laughter, the chief eunuch outside the door breathed a sigh of relief.
Serving a ruler is like serving a tiger!
As long as the emperor is happy, serving him will naturally be less troublesome and less strenuous.
“Your Majesty, you must not be careless. You must eat the things on this menu, and you must not eat the things that are forbidden to you. Also, isn’t Anuan making you drink this buckwheat tea every day? You can’t stop either. I’m using it now, and this tea gets better and better the more you drink it.”
The emperor nodded.
In fact, after using this buckwheat tea and following Mu Xin Nuan's recipe, he noticed changes in his body within a few days.
I used to only have a bowel movement once every few days, but now I have one every day. Perhaps that's why my body feels so much lighter.
"These two children are really good; they are truly filial."
"Yes, so Your Majesty must not disappoint the children's good intentions and hurt their feelings again."
"Okay, I understand."
The Empress also noticed the changes in the Emperor these days. His complexion was noticeably better than before, no longer so dull. Although it wasn't very obvious, the Empress, who paid close attention to the Emperor's health every day, would notice even the slightest improvement.
The Emperor's medicinal meals are prepared by Mu Xin Nuan herself every day.
From selecting the materials to preparing them, it takes at least two hours each day.
Fortunately, Mu Xin Nuan had capable people around her. Every time she cooked something, she would send someone to watch the stove, never daring to be careless for a moment.
While Mu Xin Nuan was treating the Emperor's health, she didn't forget about the Empress.
After being busy for less than a month, Mu Xin Nuan lost a few pounds.
As Duanmu Chuze held her as they fell asleep that night, he couldn't help but frown. "Look at your belly! It doesn't look like you've ever given birth at all! It's practically sticking out of your chest!"
Mu Xin Nuan glared at him. "It's not that exaggerated. Alright, go to sleep. Didn't they say the Turkic envoy is arriving tomorrow?"
Duanmu Chuze responded somewhat sullenly. Anuan had been too busy lately, and she would fall asleep as soon as she got home at night. He couldn't find an opportunity to be intimate with her.
"Ah Nuan, don't sleep yet. We haven't done 'that' for several days now, have we?"
Mu Xin Nuan barely opened her eyes. "How many days? At most, it's only five or six days."
As she spoke, she turned over, her back to Duanmu Chuze.
This turn of her body had no effect; Mu Xin Nuan was originally resting her head on his arm, and now that she had turned over, her chest naturally touched his hand.
Duanmu Chuze grinned mischievously, reached out and pinched, and upon hearing Mu Xinnuan's soft cry, he immediately perked up, flipped over and pressed down on her.
While he was bathing her in his arms, Duanmu Chuze wanted to have another intimate moment in the water, but unexpectedly, she had fallen asleep on the side.
When Duanmu Chuze saw how exhausted his wife was, he couldn't bear to see her like this.
After carrying her back to her bedchamber, Mu Xin Nuan raised her eyelids slightly and asked groggily, "Why did the Turkic envoy take so long to arrive?"
Duanmu Chuze smiled, "Didn't it rain heavily in Jiangnan before? It delayed their journey. They ended up staying in the North for more than ten days, but that's not bad. It allowed them to appreciate the beautiful scenery of our North."
"Aze, I want to leave the palace today, so I won't be taking Zonghua with me."
The next morning, Mu Xinnuan got up early again to help Duanmu Chuze get dressed.
"I can do it myself, you can sleep a little longer."
"No, Father, there's no need for medicinal cuisine today. I'm thinking of going to the Chu residence."
"Are you going to find Jing'er?"
"Yes, I've been busy and haven't been able to visit her since her full moon celebration. She finally had a son, and although I did send a gift, you, her fourth brother, weren't there at the time, so I didn't go to express my congratulations."
"Okay, then. Are you going to wait for me to go with you, or do you want to go first?"
Mu Xin Nuan shook her head, "Forget it, you're so busy, I'll go by myself."
With the Empress personally taking care of Xiao Zonghua, Mu Xin Nuan was naturally at ease.
Upon arriving at the Chu residence, Mu Xin Nuan felt that the atmosphere inside was somewhat strange, but since she was not a member of the Chu family, she naturally didn't ask too many questions.
Upon seeing Duanmu Jing, Mu Xin Nuan noticed her pale face and cautiously asked, "What's wrong? Who has upset our esteemed Princess Jing?"
"Hmph! Who else could it be? Besides my good fourth brother, who else has this ability?"
Mu Xin Nuan was taken aback and looked at the old woman beside her in confusion.
The old woman quickly bowed and explained, "Didn't Guard Zi bring a young lady to the princess's residence earlier?"
Mu Xin Nuan nodded; she knew about this.
"Originally, the princess didn't take it seriously and just let her stay in the princess's residence with good food and drink. Who would have thought that this matter would somehow reach Miss Chu's ears, and in front of the princess and Madam Chu, she directly said that the princess had taken a concubine for the consort and that she was currently training her in the princess's residence."
"What did you say?" Mu Xin Nuan was really confused. What was all this about?
"Does the prince consort know? What did he say?" Now that Mu Xin Nuan is the Crown Princess, she is naturally more careful about her words and actions.
Duanmu Jing's eyes flickered slightly. "What else could he say? He only said that he knew absolutely nothing."
"Isn't that settled? He said he didn't know, which means he wasn't interested. So why are you still upset? Let me tell you, you still need to take good care of your health. Don't take it lightly."
The old woman also advised, "Yes, Princess, the Crown Princess is right. You should stop thinking about this."
"How could I not want to? I have no such thoughts, but I don't know where Chu Moli got the audacity to directly accuse me. Does she think I'm living too peacefully in the Chu mansion?"
