Chapter 270 Reason
The Jiang family head immediately wrote a letter to summon the Jiang family's secret guards, and then handed over his token and the letter to the guards, instructing them to quickly take the items to the Moon Clan.

"Go out the back door secretly, without letting Liu Mengyan at the door notice anything."

"Yes."

The Jiang family is a top-tier aristocratic family with its own inherited heritage and a dedicated Jiang family secret guard team, which can only be inherited by successive family heads.

The Jiang family head didn't hand it over to Jiang Mochuan either, because he saw that Jiang Mochuan was focused on Liu Mengyan's affairs, which seemed strange to him, and he was worried, so he didn't tell him about it.

Now I hope we can invite the Moon Clan here as soon as possible.

The Jiang family head looked extremely solemn as he did these things.

Jiang Mochuan sat on the bed, his whole body aching terribly, as if ants were gnawing at him.

"Mo Chuan, what's wrong?"

Jiang Mochuan tried his best to endure the pain, but it was uncontrollable, and his face kept turning pale.

The more pain he was in, the clearer he became in thinking.

He gripped the edge of the bed tightly with his fingers, trying to calm himself. He took a few breaths, but his body was still in pain. He weakly said, "Father, perhaps my condition is related to Liu Mengyan. Before the Moon Clan arrives, we must keep her calm and not let her discover anything."

"I absolutely cannot let her know that I've started to doubt her."

Now that Jiang Mochuan had begun to suspect Liu Mengyan, his rationality and intellect kicked in, and he was no longer in a state of complete infatuation and trust in Liu Mengyan.

The Jiang family head looked at Jiang Mochuan and said these words with some relief, "It's not stupid that you can think this way."

"I just don't understand, what did you see in Liu Mengyan back then? Her looks, background, and abilities are all ordinary, and her origins are unknown. If you wanted a female to stay with you, you could have any female you wanted. You could inherit the family business, and you could marry a female. Even if she came from a lower social class, she would still be of a higher social class than the Liu family."

Given Jiang Mochuan's status, appearance, abilities, and reputation, if he wanted to marry a woman, there would be plenty of women willing to marry him and stay with him alone.

But it was him...

The Jiang family head sighed, somewhat disappointed in his son's lack of ambition.

"You need to understand that you are not alone. You have the entire Jiang family behind you. You cannot recklessly abandon your responsibilities."

Jiang Mochuan said in a low voice, "I know I have enjoyed the luxury of the family, and I should repay the family."

He knew the responsibilities he bore, and he never forgot them.

He used to think that marrying Liu Mengyan would still allow him to better protect the Jiang family.

It was because he thought too simply.

However, after calming down and thinking about things carefully, he realized that many things were not right. "Dad, my feelings for her seem to be out of control."

"Although I have feelings for him, it's not enough to make me lose my mind most of the time."

"Every time I face her, there is always a voice in my head telling me that she is the best female in the world, telling me that she is so beautiful and kind, and that I like her so much."

“Every time she approaches or looks over, as long as I get close to her or make eye contact with her, this uncontrollable voice comes to my head.”

"I'll feel a little more clear-headed once I'm further away."

However, because he had some feelings for her, he was often not very clear-headed and felt that he liked Liu Mengyan very much.

Even now, the voice in his mind was still trying to control him, but he forced himself to calm down.

Upon hearing this, the Jiang family head's expression turned even more grim. "He's possessed by an evil spirit."

"In that case, you should stay away from her."

Jiang Mochuan smiled bitterly, "It's not that simple. She's come looking for me now. If she discovers anything and gets desperate, I might lose my life."

He wasn't afraid of death, but he couldn't die this way.

What he hates most is being deceived and schemed against.

"At yesterday's palace banquet, if the Xuanjia Army hadn't arrived in time, I might have been dead."

The Jiang family head understood something and said, "So you still want to go back to the Liu family?"

"Well, since she dared to scheme against me like this, I certainly won't let her scheme for nothing. Nothing ventured, nothing gained."

He needs to find out about Liu Mengyan.

Knowing that Jiang Mochuan was a very opinionated person, the Jiang family head remained silent for a while before saying, "Very well." Finally, the Jiang family head let Liu Mengyan in.

Liu Mengyan looked worried and distressed whenever she saw Jiang Mochuan. Jiang Mochuan suppressed his complicated emotions and pretended to be friendly with her, so that Liu Mengyan could not see through his act. In the end, Liu Mengyan took Jiang Mochuan back to the Liu family.

……

The Jiang family head was disgusted by Liu Mengyan's behavior just now, and he really doesn't know what kind of taste his son has.

He recalled the details Jiang Jian had mentioned; yesterday, Su Muyao had realized that Mo Chuan was possessed by an evil spirit.

He summoned his men and asked, "Is Miss Su at the Su family's house right now? Go and find out quickly."

Perhaps Su Muyao knows more about it.

However, due to certain circumstances, Su Muyao did not make things clear yesterday.

Even if it meant risking his reputation and using the friendship between the two families, he wanted to ask more questions. He couldn't let Mo Chuan be schemed against without knowing why, or even lose his life.

The Jiang family head was extremely uneasy.

……

Inside the palace

When the Empress saw Su Muyao, her eyes were extremely gentle and loving.

She had already dismissed everyone in the palace and activated the light barrier to protect the area, so that no one outside could hear what was being said inside.

Su Muyao used to not understand why the Empress liked her so much, was so gentle with her, and always protected and pampered her.

Now I understand why.

She also had a natural affinity for the Queen, which turned out to be due to their blood relation.

Before Su Muyao could kneel down, the Empress beckoned to her and said, "Good child, come here."

"His Majesty."

"You don't need to stand on ceremony in my presence."

The empress did not use the title "朕" (zhen, meaning "I" or "the emperor"), but rather "我" (wo, meaning "I" or "me").

Su Muyao stepped forward, and the Empress took her hand and made her sit down. "Good child, you have grown up now, and there are some things I should tell you."

"I just hope you won't blame me and your father for keeping this from you after I tell you."

"Actually, I am your biological grandmother, and your father is my biological son."

Su Muyao's eyelashes trembled. She already knew all this, so she couldn't show any surprise.

Seeing her calm demeanor, the Empress smiled and said, "It seems you already know. That's good. I won't say any more. But child, may you call me grandmother?"

Su Muyao nodded and said, "Grandmother."

Her voice was clear and crisp, with a touch of warmth.

"well……"

The Queen was delighted and repeatedly said "good" to the Emperor.

The Empress handed two imperial edicts to Su Muyao. "One is an edict appointing you as Empress, and the other is a blank edict with my personal signature and imperial seal. You can write whatever you want on it."

"I don't know how much longer I can hold out. From now on, the entire Dongning Beast Kingdom will be in your hands."

The Empress's eyes showed extreme reluctance. If she could, she would like to do more, but she knew her own physical condition and that she didn't have much time left.

She was able to wake up this time and recover somewhat thanks to the medicine given to her by her granddaughter, but it only treats the symptoms, not the root cause.

She knew her granddaughter was a smart child, and that she understood things without needing to say much.

Su Muyao looked extremely surprised, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She said anxiously, "Grandmother, don't say these things. You are fine. You are just weak because you have been poisoned by a Gu. You will be fine once the Gu is removed."

"So, Grandmother, all you need to do is invite the Moon Clan to remove the curse. I will take good care of your health, and you will live a long life."
