Mo Qinghuan withdrew her arm and took a step back to keep a distance from her. Her voice was cold and clear.
"You should know very well whether it's a joke or not."
Mo Yao looked at Mo Qinghuan. Although there was a smile on her face, for some reason, she gave Mo Yao an unattainable feeling.
Coupled with the imposing aura around Mu Yanming that oppressed her, she stumbled. Fortunately, the maid behind her quickly supported her. Otherwise, she would surely have made a fool of herself in front of everyone.
Thinking of this, Mo Yao composed herself and forced a smile. She stepped forward and whispered to Mo Qinghuan, "Sister, it's getting late. Let's go into the palace quickly. If we miss the time and someone with ill intentions spreads the news that you disrespect the Queen, it won't be good."
Mo Qinghuan took a step forward, once again increasing the distance between her and Mo Yao.
Mu Yanming raised an eyebrow. "Let's go."
Mo Qinghuan looked at Mu Yanming in confusion. She didn't understand the meaning of his words for a moment, but her feet had already unconsciously followed.
When they got out of the door, they saw the Regent's sedan chair parked right in front of the General's Mansion.
Mu Yanming took the lead and walked up to the sedan chair. Then he looked back at Mo Qinghuan.
Bai Ke reminded her in good time, "Your Highness, please."
A faint smile appeared on Mo Qinghuan's face. "This doesn't seem appropriate. I'll just take the sedan chair of the General's Mansion. I won't trouble the Regent."
At this time, Mo Yao also walked out. She was looking in this direction. When she saw Mu Yanming getting into the sedan chair as if he had no intention of taking Mo Qinghuan with him, a blatant sneer appeared on her face.
Mu Yanming's deep and clear voice came from inside the sedan chair. "Do you want to take the sedan chair into the palace with her?"
Mo Qinghuan frowned slightly. Naturally, she didn't want to share a sedan chair with Mo Yao.
So she walked up to the sedan chair. Bai Ke made a "please" gesture.
Mo Qinghuan stepped onto the footstool and got into the carriage.
As she sat in the sedan chair, she couldn't help but marvel.
Sure enough, it was worthy of the Regent. Although the sedan chair was luxurious, it didn't give people an exaggerated feeling. The comfort level was also excellent.
Just as she was thinking, a sudden commotion came from outside the sedan chair.
She lifted the curtain and looked out. There were a lot of people gathered by the roadside. She didn't know what had happened.
In the crowd, someone shouted at the top of their lungs, "Oh no! Someone has fainted!"
Hearing this, Mo Qinghuan quickly said to Bai Ke, "Stop the sedan chair!"
Bai Ke pulled on the reins, and the carriage stopped steadily.
Before Bai Ke could ask what was going on, Mo Qinghuan had already jumped out of the carriage.
Mu Yanming frowned slightly and got out of the carriage as well. He saw that Mo Qinghuan had already pushed through the crowd and squeezed into the middle.
The pushed - aside commoners looked at Mo Qinghuan unhappily. "Hey, who is this?"
"I don't know. I've never heard of a female doctor in any medical clinic in the capital. Hey, can you treat patients?"
"That's right. If you can't, don't delay the poor man."
She ignored them and focused on examining the old man's condition.
The old man was being supported by a strong - looking middle - aged man and was sitting against him.
After Mo Qinghuan finished the examination, she pointed to a flower stall not far away. "It's an asthma attack caused by a sudden pollen allergy, which led to the coma. Quickly lay him flat on his back with his head tilted to one side. Also, could you please move that flower stall farther away?"
The middle - aged man glanced at her disdainfully. "Do you know how to treat patients? Stop giving random orders here!"
Mo Qinghuan frowned tightly and gave the man a cold look.
"Lying on his back will make it difficult for him to breathe. He already has asthma. If he dies of suffocation, can you bear the responsibility?" Looking into Mo Qinghuan's eyes, the middle - aged man unexpectedly felt a chill.
So he followed Mo Qinghuan's instructions and laid the old man flat on the ground.
Mo Qinghuan scanned the surroundings. "Could you all please disperse? It's not good for the patient's breathing if you all surround him like this."
The on - lookers didn't listen to her at all. Some even pointed at her with their hands.
She had no choice but to take another measure. She undid the buttons on the old man's chest to make it easier for him to breathe.
An old woman angrily tapped the ground with her walking stick. "The morals of the world are really declining. Look at what she's doing!"
The middle - aged man from before pushed her roughly and shouted angrily, "Hussy, come with us to the government office!"
Hearing this, Mu Yanming frowned and gave Bai Ke a look.
"Yes, my lord." Bai Ke's voice was full of reluctance.
He stepped forward. When his sword was only two inches out of its scabbard, the on - lookers all scattered.
Not long after, a doctor was invited. When Mo Qinghuan saw the doctor coming, she got up, said a few words to the doctor, and then walked towards Mu Yanming.
All of this was seen by Mo Yao from not far away. She looked in Mo Qinghuan's direction and sneered.
"Sorry for the delay."
The two got into the carriage, and it drove steadily towards the palace.
"Do you like the clothes?"
Mu Yanming suddenly spoke.
"These clothes..." Mo Qinghuan lowered her eyes. "Thank you."
Mu Yanming closed his eyes and said nothing.
When they arrived at the palace, Mu Yanming escorted Mo Qinghuan all the way to the imperial garden.
"Oh my god, look! Is that the Regent?" a pink - dressed girl exclaimed shyly.
A yellow - dressed girl beside her looked in their direction with her arms crossed in front of her chest. "Yaoyao, how did your stepsister manage to hook up with the Regent?"
A sneer appeared on Mo Yao's lips, but her tone was full of grievance. "Yes! She just got the title of princess and now she's hooked up with the Regent. I'm almost bullied to death by her!"
Hearing this, the yellow - dressed girl was really angry.
She said to Mo Yao, "Come on. I'll avenge you!" Then she walked towards Mo Qinghuan.
Mo Qinghuan thanked Mu Yanming, and Mu Yanming left.
Just as she was about to walk towards the crowd, she turned around and saw the two girls walking towards her with bad looks on their faces.
The yellow - dressed girl stopped a few steps away from Mo Qinghuan and looked at her haughtily.
"Oh, why are you so late? You're just a princess. Don't tell me you don't even take the Queen's flower - viewing banquet seriously!"
Mo Qinghuan didn't want to pay her any attention, so she didn't stop walking. But when she was beside the yellow - dressed girl, the girl suddenly raised her hand to block her way.
"I'm talking to you! Are you deaf?"
Mo Qinghuan raised her hand and pushed the girl's arm away. The yellow - dressed girl stamped her feet angrily. "I told you to stop. Don't you understand?"
Mo Qinghuan didn't look back. "Sorry, I can only understand human language. I can't understand dog barks."
"Good for you, Mo Qinghuan. It seems that Yaoyao was right. You're just a newly - titled princess. What are you so proud of? You really think you're some precious thing. I'm warning you today. If you dare to bully Yaoyao again, I won't let you off!"
Only then did Mo Qinghuan look back. Mo Yao was raising her eyebrows and looking at her, with an annoying look on her face as if to say "What can you do about it?"
Mo Qinghuan smiled and shook her head. She said coldly to the yellow - dressed girl, "Before meddling in other people's business, I advise you to take care of yourself first. Don't blame me for not warning you. If your menstrual blood is stagnant, you might have trouble conceiving a child in the future!" When Mo Qinghuan first saw her, she noticed that the girl had a dull complexion, dark circles under her eyes, pimples around her lips, and a thick, whitish tongue coating when she spoke. Even from a few steps away, she could smell the unpleasant odor from the girl's mouth. It was a typical case of menstrual disorder.
And if the menstrual blood was stagnant, it would be extremely difficult to conceive.
