The regent forced a smile, his heart filled with guilt as he looked at his daughter.

After a long while, he stroked Xiao Wanwan's head and said, "Father believes in Wanwan."

Xiao Wanwan got off the Regent and walked to the door.

"Where's my second brother? Hasn't he come back?"

My second brother went to the border after our parents got married last time, and I haven't seen him for more than a year.

The Regent said, "We sent someone to the border to tell General Sun not to come back."

The Holy Kingdom is now in peril. If we do not guard our borders, the enemy may take advantage of our weaknesses, and the Holy Kingdom may perish forever.

"I'm going to see Mother."

"good."

Xiao Wanwan rushed out the door and ran straight towards the main courtyard.

Hua Xin and Hua Mei were wiping Ye Lanyin's hands when they heard Xiao Wanwan's footsteps. The two of them excitedly put down what they were doing.

"Miss is back."

Hua Mei immediately went out the door and saw Xiao Wanwan walking towards her from afar.

She was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes.

I haven't seen Miss for a year, and I didn't expect her to have become so much more sensible.

"Aunt Huamei." Xiao Wanwan called out as she entered the room, then her gaze fell on Ye Lanyin on the bed.

How is Mother?

“Miss, I have been wiping Madam’s body these past few days and haven’t noticed anything unusual, except that her breathing seems to be…”

She didn't say the rest, but everyone understood.

Xiao Wanwan walked to Ye Lanyin's side and saw that her eyes were closed and her eyes were red.

He reached out and touched Ye Lanyin's cheek.

"Mother, Wanwan is back."

"Why...why don't you scold Wanwan for being away from home for a year?"

But the familiar voice no longer responded. Xiao Wanwan felt extremely wronged, and tears streamed down her face.

Hua Xin knelt down with heartache, took out a handkerchief to wipe Xiao Wanwan's tears, and choked out, "Miss, don't be sad. Madam has done so many good deeds in her life, I don't think Heaven would be so unkind to her."

“A few days ago, the Eldest Princess, Madam Sheng, and Madam Han all came to see the Madam. They also invited many doctors to examine her. The doctors said that the Madam’s condition was relatively stable.”

Only Xiao Wanwan knew that even if a doctor in the mortal realm could diagnose it, they would be unable to detect the toxicity of her mother's poison.

She took out a pill that Yao Qianshu had refined in the cultivation world from her bosom and put it into Ye Lanyin's mouth.

Then he picked up a bowl of water from the tea table next to him and fed Ye Lanyin spoonful by spoonful.

Just like when she was born, Ye Lanyin fed her milk spoonful by spoonful.

Everyone was moved to tears, but no one dared to utter a single word.

Xiao Wanwan remained clumsy until Ye Lanyin's throat bobbed, at which point she stopped.

"Mother, Wanwan will definitely save you, you must wait for me."

As she spoke, Xiao Wanwan rushed out the door again, wiping her tears as she ran into the yard, and finally couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Mother, waaaaah..."

"Mother..."

"I want my mother..."

In both her past and present lives, she had never experienced maternal love; it was Ye Lanyin who gave her a maternal love she had never known before.

She greedily wanted a lifetime, but only three years later, her mother suffered such a tragedy.

Countless nights, she woke up crying in her dreams, calling for her mother.

Scalding tears soaked her pillow, and when she opened her eyes, she saw the pitch-black night sky.

at night.

The night wind rustled, and the branches outside the window swayed violently, occasionally emitting eerie and chilling sounds.

Xiao Wanwan opened her eyes, got out of bed, and went to the window with her blanket and pillow.

Bai Lu heard the sound and rubbed her eyes.

"Miss."

"Bai Lu, let me ask you, is it always like this at night?"

The white deer nodded.

"Yes, it's like this every day. At night, there are all sorts of screams outside, and during the day, we don't know who's behind them."

Xiao Wanwan thought for a moment, climbed down from the chair, and walked to the door to open it.

Seeing this, Bai Lu was so frightened that she ran to Xiao Wanwan's side and grabbed her hand.

"Miss, you mustn't."

"If the evil spirits know our door is open, they'll definitely come in!"

Xiao Wanwan said, "This isn't National Day, so where would any evil spirits come from?"

White Deer Road.

“I don’t know either, but they all say it’s an evil spirit.”

Xiao Wanwan was about to open the door again when Bai Lu cried and hugged Xiao Wanwan's leg, "Miss, you can't go out! You just got back. If something happens, the Prince will blame me."

"Your Highness is already in such a state, you can't afford to have anything else happen to you."

Xiao Wanwan reached out and tapped Bai Lu on the head, causing Bai Lu to collapse to the ground.

"White Deer, if I don't go and see, then no one will be able to save the Holy Kingdom."

During the day, she dared not tell her father, for fear that they would worry.

Tianjue said he would come out when she returned to the human world, so she wasn't afraid.

For some reason, she felt a sense of familiarity with this older brother, as if they had known each other before.

The white deer was too heavy for Xiao Wanwan to lift, and it took a lot of effort to pull her aside.

Only then did they open the door.

As soon as Xiao Wanwan opened the door, a tall figure appeared before her.

Xiao Wanwan was startled.

"Brother Tianjue, you're here?"

"Yes, I'm here." He habitually squatted down, picked him up, and then turned and walked away into the night.

The regent, standing in the main courtyard, looked through the window at the people flying into the night sky, feeling a mix of emotions.

"Wanwan, your father will do his best to wait for you to come back."

He turned around and walked towards Ye Lanyin, then sat down on the edge of the bed, gathering spiritual energy in his palm and channeling it into Ye Lanyin's brow.
