But now, hearing that he was in such a desperate and precarious situation, Su Jinyun's heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible and cruel hand.
That feeling of regret was like a surging, endless tide, surging into her heart wave after wave, completely overwhelming her.
She seemed to be watching helplessly as a peerless flower, blooming beautifully in the spring breeze, swayed precariously under the merciless onslaught of a violent storm.
The delicate, luscious petals were torn apart one by one by the raging wind, mercilessly ripped away like the most poignant tears in the world.
She could only stand there helplessly, watching all of this happen, powerless to do anything, her heart burning with despair and anger like a raging fire.
This sense of loss and helplessness weighed heavily on her heart, like a massive lead weight.
Yu Ji was incredibly perceptive; the subtle changes in Su Jinyun's expression were like a shooting star flashing across the night sky—brief but impossible to miss.
Thinking of the former Fifth Prince, she felt a pang of regret, lamenting the loss of such a romantic and carefree man.
She sighed softly, the sound like a falling leaf in late autumn, carrying endless helplessness and desolation, drifting slowly through the quiet room.
The sigh seemed to contain a lament for the impermanence of life, a deep concern for the current predicament, and a sense of confusion and helplessness about the future.
Yu Ji spoke slowly again, her voice carrying an undisguised helplessness and emotion, as if every word was squeezed out with great difficulty from the deepest part of her heart.
Each word carried the weight of a thousand pounds, making the air seem to freeze: "Although I am powerless, Master Xuwu must have a solution."
However, with King Zhao's return date uncertain, his heart was inevitably filled with anxiety.
At this point, Yu Ji's gaze grew even dimmer, as if shrouded in a thick, impenetrable gloom.
The light in his eyes was like a candle flame about to go out, weak and helpless.
Her thoughts drifted involuntarily to the distant past, and the moments she shared with her mentor flashed before her eyes like a movie.
She paused slightly, and a look of reminiscence and respect slowly appeared on her face, an expression as delicate and deeply affectionate as a painting.
It vividly expresses the deep and enduring friendship between her and her mentor.
Yu Ji continued, "It's a pity that my master has already passed away. If he were still alive, he would surely have a way to deal with that evil path."
Yu Ji's tone was full of deep remembrance and high respect for her mentor, her voice trembling slightly, as if carrying a sob she could hardly contain.
Upon hearing Yu Ji's words, Su Jinyun's heart, which had been as cold as an ice cellar, suddenly felt as if she had encountered the dawn in endless darkness, and a surge of joy welled up in her heart.
This feeling of joy is like a traveler who has endured a long and arduous journey through a barren desert and is on the verge of despair, suddenly seeing a lush oasis in the distance.
The hope for life ignited fiercely in my heart in an instant.
If Master Xuwu truly possesses a wonderful method to deal with this thorny problem before us...
Then immediately dispatch Xuan Ying to rush to the border at lightning speed and invite Master Xu Wu over.
In this way, we can not only increase our chances of winning this complicated and perplexing predicament, but also make a crucial difference in our chances of success.
It was as if they had found a mysterious key in a foggy maze that might unlock the exit, guiding everyone toward a path of light.
At the same time, it also allows them to let the Emperor Emeritus and Empress Dowager know they are safe and sound.
This news, like the warm spring sun, will surely put the two elderly people's minds at ease, and also put an end to a major matter that has been weighing on Su Jinyun's mind day and night.
The two quickly exchanged glances, and in that instant, it was as if an invisible current flowed through the air, and their hearts were already connected in this silent exchange.
In this critical moment, time is like sand slipping away rapidly in an hourglass; every second is precious and allows no hesitation or delay.
They immediately finalized the plan, like making a crucial move in a rapidly changing game of chess; this move might just be the key to turning the tide.
Then, like ghosts lurking in the night, they moved with light and cautious steps, each step seemingly on thin ice, carefully and quietly leaving through the small gate of the Imperial Preceptor's residence.
Yu Ji acted this way because of what Su Jinyun mentioned.
Deeply worried about Ning Chenxing's cunning, suspicious, and meticulous nature, she had already laid a tight net of spies around the Imperial Preceptor's residence.
Those spies, like venomous snakes lurking in the shadows, silently watched every move in the mansion, and could immediately relay the news at the slightest disturbance.
Therefore, every move they made was like trudging along a path full of sharp thorns, requiring utmost caution at every step.
They dared not make a sound, dared not be careless in the slightest, for even the slightest oversight could trigger the hidden crisis.
It was as if they had triggered a dangerous mechanism, instantly plunging them into an abyss of no return.
When the two hurriedly arrived at the palace, the morning court session had already begun in an orderly manner in a solemn and dignified atmosphere.
Hiding outside the imperial court, a suppressed yet turbulent atmosphere rushed towards me, as if an invisible force was permeating the air with tension and unease.
Their eyes quickly scanned the crowd, like keen hunters searching for prey, and they were surprised to find that the Queen was also among them.
