I Become a Big Shot in Showbiz

Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Obsession and Knots of the Heart

I did not expect to encounter Your Majesty here.

This trip was indeed worthwhile.

“Your Majesty, what about you? How did you come to be here?” Jiang Jingxin asked.

“I too, upon dying, opened my eyes to find myself here,” Mu Lingyun improvised, not wishing to reveal the truth to him.

Jiang Jingxin had no suspicions. To him, it seemed magical to find oneself here after death.

He did not think such a thing could be manipulated.

Moreover, how they arrived at this world was actually not important.

What mattered was that they were both in this world, and they were alive and well.

“Your Majesty, are you the one who needed the silver needles tonight?” Jiang Jingxin suddenly recalled the matter of acupuncture and asked.

“Yes,” Mu Lingyun nodded in acknowledgment, then continued, “This is a new era; there are no emperors anymore. You needn’t call me Your Majesty, just call me by my name, shall you? Mu Lingyun.”

“I am already used to it, whether in my past life or this one, you are my empress,” said Jiang Jingxin, shaking his head.

Mu Lingyun had no choice but to let him be.

After Jiang Jingxin finished speaking, he paused, then asked with some curiosity, “Your Majesty, these silver needles you asked for tonight, what are they for?”

“Someone has taken ill; I need to use the silver needles to alleviate his pain, which is why I called you to bring them over so late. I apologize for the trouble.” @@novelbin@@

“Someone who would warrant Your Majesty’s personal medical attention?” Jiang Jingxin furrowed his brows tightly, “Could it be that noble person Your Majesty has been searching for over a decade?”

Although he had not met him, Jiang Jingxin knew that the person Mu Lingyun had tirelessly pursued was none other than the noble and breathtaking Crown Prince from the former dynasty.

He was someone dear to the empress’s heart.

If both he and the empress had appeared in this world, then it was natural for that person of nobility to possibly be in this world as well.

If he followed his own selfish desires, of course, he would not wish for that noble person to appear here as well.

But the empress had searched so hard for such a long time, he also did not want her to end up with nothing in the end.

Mu Lingyun’s lips curled slightly, and she nodded, “Yes, it’s him.”

Jiang Jingxin was stunned, feeling half joy and half sorrow in his heart.

He was happy that the person he respected, the person he liked, had finally got her wish.

Sorrowful, because with the real person appearing, should he, the stand-in, disappear?

“Your Majesty, may I see him?”

From their first meeting when she saved him, the woman before him told him that his eyes resembled someone else’s.

Afterwards, she would often stare into his eyes, lost in thought.

He naturally knew that she was not looking at him, but that noble person.

Latterly, he spent ten years accompanying her in the search for that person of nobility.

That noble person had become more than just an obsession for the young lady before him; he had also slowly turned into a knot in his own heart.

He just wanted to know, whether that person was truly worthy.

“He is upstairs. His attacks are becoming more frequent. I must treat him as soon as possible. You can go and see him; it would be good if you could give me some advice and suggestions,” Mu Lingyun spoke as she walked toward the entrance of the hall, “Come with me.”

The two of them arrived upstairs to see Xiao Kai still dutifully sitting outside the door, keeping watch.

“Why did you bring him here?” Xiao Kai looked at Mu Lingyun and Jiang Jingxin, his brows furrowed in displeasure, his cold gaze filled with wariness towards Jiang Jingxin.

“He is a student of Chinese medicine. I was hoping he could take a look at his lordship’s condition,” Mu Lingyun explained indifferently.
