Hearing this, Su Mu finally remembered that she had taken a fancy to this jade pendant when she was in Wu City. However, there was only one left in Yu Xing Pavilion, why did it refuse to be sold to her, saying it was for someone else?

Because of this matter, Su Mu was depressed and unhappy for quite some time. Now it seemed that Liu Zichen was someone who had his own plans in mind. Su Mu looked at him gratefully and said, ”Thank you, I really like it.”

”If you like it, I'll give it to you.” Liu Zichen generously passed the jade pendant to Su Mu.

Su Mu carefully placed it on her chest. After a moment of hesitation, she said, ”Isn't it about time? You …”

Liu Zichen looked at Su Mu and said to her, ”Otherwise, I won't be leaving tonight. I'll be staying here with you because the emperor won't be coming over anyway. His majesty is still busy today, so I'm afraid that the matter with the imperial government is enough to make him anxious.”

Su Mu was a little worried for Lin Yi. However, she didn't know how she could open her mouth to speak to Liu Zichen.

Lin Yi muttered to himself, ”The plague is rampant in the capital now, and I'm afraid the emperor has already lost control of himself, so how could he have the leisure to look for his concubines like you? Don't worry, with your huge stomach right now, I won't do anything to you. I just want to find someone to talk to …”

Hearing Liu Zichen mention the plague, Su Mu couldn't help but think about what Zhuo Qingfeng had told him a few days ago. Could it be that the plague really came from that Wang Wu? Or was it related to Wang Wu's matter?

Su Mu was trapped inside the Imperial City day and night. She was practically never able to go out. She didn't even know what was going on outside. Zhuo Qingfeng would only occasionally come in and tell her some interesting things.

Su Mu felt a bit depressed. Fortunately, Liu Zichen told Su Mu about many interesting things. Su Mu was more concerned about the plague.

She asked, ”Sir Liu, do you know that I have always been a doctor of medicine? I would like to know what this plague is all about?”

”How so? ”Esteemed wangfei, the plague doesn't count. In my opinion, it shouldn't be too big of a problem. Perhaps some people who were thinking on the inside have thought of other ways!”

Liu Zichen didn't want to say more. Just as Su Mu was asking, someone suddenly barged in. It was Lu Qi.

Lu Qi knew the secret of Su Mu's hidden valley. Now, when she saw Liu Zichen, her face was filled with surprise. Before Su Mu could explain, Lu Qi kneeled on the ground and said to Su Mu, ”Esteemed wangfei, you should leave quickly. The emperor is here.”

When Liu Zichen heard the emperor had arrived, he looked around and said, ”Since the emperor is here, I'll quickly hide. If the emperor sees this, I'm afraid he'll have to misunderstand a lot of things.”

Su Mu nodded his head. Luckily, Liu Zichen was a very sensible person. Otherwise, Lin Yi would not have let this matter go.

Su Mu lifted her skirt and then said to Lu Qi, ”Alright, let's go.”
