Chapter 1021: Chapter 1021: 1019: His Forgetfulness Potion is Ready

Su Yingxue pouted her lips, unable to say that she was now eating for two, and simply responded, “Is it wrong to eat a little more when I see your master so happy?”

“Of course, it’s perfectly fine!”

Mo Qi laughed; that response was just too perfect!

This statement alone could keep Chu Yihan happy for several days!

The corners of Chu Yihan’s lips lifted in a hidden corner.

Su Yingxue glanced at her slightly distended stomach, patted it, and then said, “Then I shall take my leave from the palace and not disturb the emperor further.”

She tried to appear casual, not letting the longing of the past few days show on her face, not wanting to add to Chu Yihan’s troubles.

But Chu Yihan seemed to be even more indifferent, “Good, I’ll have Mo Qi escort you out.”

Although he said that outwardly, his feet involuntarily followed Su Yingxue out. He was hoping that Su Yingxue would talk more with him, make some requests.

For example, she might want to enter the palace permanently, to seek the position of empress, or even to question him about why he still hadn’t made her empress yet.

But upon leaving the chamber’s entrance, Su Yingxue did no such thing.

Graceful and proper, she gave a slight curtsy before leaving, “Yingxue takes her leave.”

Chu Yihan’s lips pressed thinly together, “There’s no need for such formalities.”

Su Yingxue pouted, “Alright.”

Now that even a curtsy was unnecessary, couldn’t he come and embrace her?

She left with a bit of regret, not realizing that Chu Yihan stood behind her, watching for a long time.

She originally had to leave the palace in the imperial carriage, but seeing Mo Qi with a hesitant expression, she said, “I’ve eaten to fullness; Mo Qi, accompany me as I walk out of the palace. Let’s take a stroll to aid digestion.”

Mo Qi smiled knowingly, “Your servant obeys the command.”

As he walked with Su Yingxue, she told him without waiting for him to speak, “The medicine you’ve asked me to develop is ready, but I used several potent ingredients that could be harmful to health. I’ve written to Sister Rong Sheng asking her to review it. I plan to adjust it after receiving her reply before giving it to you.”

Mo Qi bit his lip, “There’s no need to wait, Your Highness. Please give me the medicine now; the harm it may cause is of no concern.”

He just wanted to forget that person as soon as possible, to wipe all the memories of these years from his mind.

“Mo Qi, why the rush? It will only be about ten days or so for Sister Rong Sheng to reply to my letter,” Su Yingxue advised him kindly. As a Doctor, she naturally wanted to minimize the side effects of the medicine, and besides… Mo Qi’s eagerness to forget was truly heart-wrenching.

“No need, Your Highness. I’ll come to the Manor to get the medicine another day. I will never forget this great kindness,” Mo Qi said.

Mo Qi knelt on one knee, his face bearing a smile, but the weight and bitterness in his voice were inadvertently revealed.

Su Yingxue agreed, supporting her full belly as she left for the Marquis’s Manor.

She had agreed to let Mo Qi come to the Manor to collect the medicine, which made Mo Qi think to ask Chu Yihan about the matter of becoming the empress.

Chu Yihan was in the imperial study when he heard Mo Qi ask; his brush paused, and a drop of ink spread on the paper, “Did she send you to ask?”

If so, he could go to the Marquis’s Manor to tell her right now.

Mo Qi shook his head, “No, Your Highness had me come tomorrow to the Manor to get the medicine. I just thought I’d ask on behalf of Your Highness.”

“Medicine?”

“The Forgetfulness Potion, which Your Highness helped me develop.”

Mo Qi was Chu Yihan’s confidant; he would hide nothing from him.

Chu Yihan looked at him, his eyes deepening, “After taking the medicine, I will arrange a marriage for you.”

For a moment, Mo Qi’s heart wavered—as he moved from an initial refusal to hesitation and finally to convincing himself, he managed a smile, “Thank you, master.”
