"Sister Mu, are your father's concubines bullying you at home?" Qi Ling worriedly looked at Mu Xuexin.
At Empire City, after Auntie Yun left and she and her brother fell into misfortune, only Mu Xuexin did not start treating them differently. This was also why Qi Ling liked her.
Mu Xuexin's eyes darkened. "Qi Zheng went to the imperial family to ask for my hand in marriage on Qi Mo's behalf. Those people already agreed."
"What?" Qi Ling shouted in panic and hurriedly latched onto Mu Xuexin's arm. "Sister Mu, you can't be married to him! He's a scoundrel! He even hit me!"
Mu Xuexin's heart was squeezed. She worriedly examined Qi Ling. "Qi Mo hit you? Where did he hit you? Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt, but I hate him." Qi Ling pouted. Suddenly recalling something, she turned to look at Yun Luofeng. "Sister Yun, can we save the Emperor? If the Emperor wakes up, Sister Mu wouldn't have to be married to that giant scoundrel."
Yun Luofeng's eyes flickered and she nodded. "Qi Mu wants to go to Empire City to develop. We can go to the imperial palace to look at him at that time."
"Good." Qi Ling finally smiled. In her eyes, Yun Luofeng was extremely capable. She could certainly help the Emperor recover.
Mu Xuexin did not say anything in response to Yun Luofeng's agreement. She shook her head with a wry smile, her eyes full of grief.
The various famous physicians in Liufeng Kingdom had all taken a look at Father Emperor, but they all could not cure him. He had consumed countless spiritual herbs but still did not get better. No matter how strong Qi Ling's teacher was, she could not save him…
Mu Xuexin gently sighed.
Mother Empress was Father Emperor's most beloved woman, but she died during childbirth. However, Father Emperor did not blame her arrival for harming Mother Empress and extremely doted on her instead. He also did not instate another empress for many years, causing some people to boil in jealousy.
If Father Emperor died, then she would not have anymore family in this world. What should she live for then?
Moreover, those people wanted make her get married to Qi Mo…
"Since there isn't xuanxin grass here, then let's return to the palace. Qi Ling, if you see your brother, send my regards to him." Mu Xuexin solemnly requested while looking at Qi Ling. "Also, don't tell him about my situation. I don't want him to go back and stick up for me."
He would not win against the Qi Family, especially since the current Qi Family had the imperial family supporting them…
"Doesn't Sister Mu want to see Brother?" Qi Ling bit her lips and unblinkingly looked at Mu Xuexin.
Mu Xuexin's fingers trembled. She shook her head with a wry smile. "What use is there to see him? He can't help me."
Anyway, she did not want him to be pulled into these matters…
"Alright then." Qi Ling lowered her head, full of disappointment. However, when she realized they would head to Empire City soon, she regained her spirits.
"Sister Mu, my brother and I will come and find you."
Mu Xuexin froze. She wanted to say something but could not voice it in the end.
Yun Luofeng looked at the sky before turning to Qi Ling. "It's late already. We should head down the mountain. Otherwise, your brother will think I abducted and sold you."
Qi Ling nodded and grasped Yun Luofeng's hand, an innocent smile spreading on her fair face. "Sister Yun, let's hurry and leave then. I miss Brother."
It was her first time being away from Brother for so long…
Yun Luofeng did not say anything else and leaped into the air with Qi Ling in her arms, her body instantly turning into a light and shooting into the distance…

Inside a residence, Shiyu was standing outside the study. After a moment of contemplation, she pushed the door open and entered.
