loudly announced, Dugu Yan quickly withdrew her expression and hurried to greet the Emperor.Feng Lingxi followed Dugu City to greet the crowd, ignoring the gazes of those around her. All she wanted n..."Trying one's best to make up for it" sounded very sincere, but Dugu City refused.

Looking at Wan'er's vacant eyes, his heart was like a knife twisting. Taking Wan'er back like this, how could he explain to Xi'er

Dugu Cheng walked up to Wan'er and held her in his arms, "Wan'er, don't scare your father, look at your father, father is here to take you home."

Still, there was no response from Wan'er. She remained so lifeless, like a child without a soul. Dugu City felt a pang of heartache and hugged her tightly.

In the scorching summer morning, the Empress walked before Wan'er. "Child, this palace owes you an apology. If you are willing to forgive this palace, then please look at this palace."

Wan'er still had no reaction, just stared blankly, like a puppet.

"Wan'er."

Tian Xiaomi watched them talking to Wan'er without any reaction, which scared her. She rushed over and looked at Wan'er. When Wan'er saw Tian Xiaomi crying out loud, everyone was startled.

"Wan'er, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I didn't protect you well. If you want to cry, just cry."

Wan'er snuggled up to Tian Xiaom, and Dugucheng asked Tian Xiaom to hold Wan'er. He watched as they hugged and cried together, his heart feeling heavy. His eyes became moist. How much fright had his daughter endured to become like this

"Wan'er, we won't cry. Auntie will take you away."

"Auntie..."

Wan'er cried out, clutching Tian Xiaomi as her sobs shook the palace. All her fear poured out in those cries, each one making hearts tremble, especially Dugu City's. His eyes reddened, and his corners glistened with tears.

Just looking at them, I couldn't imagine what had happened to the two of them during this time.

"No more crying, no more crying."

Tian Xiaomi comforted Wan'er. Wan'er was crying too heartbroken, her trembling little body leaning against Tian Xiaomi's shoulder. On the dais, no one spoke. At this scene, Huangfu Qingyun frowned. The emperor and empress of the summer dynasty were both surprised.

This time's mistake, I don't know if it can be made up for. Admitting fault, apprehending someone, Dugu City could just let it go.

"Auntie, I'm hungry."

Wǎn'ěr choked back tears, and Tián Xiǎomǐ wiped them away for her, crying like a little tearful person herself.

"Auntie bought you food."

Tian Xiaomi held Wan'er and walked out of the palace, while Huang Xia addressed the emperor, "Bring food from the Imperial Kitchen. You..."

Tian Xiaomi didn't turn her head or stop her steps. She held onto Wan'er and walked out just like that. The guards wanted to stop them, but Dugou City’s sword had already flown out, knocking down their swords. His gaze, which surveyed the world with disdain, was full of warnings, making people unable to move.

"Let them out and tell them, no matter what they eat, I will pay for it."

Dugu Cheng watched them leave, then turned to face Hu Xia and the Emperor, "Today, this is the end."

After finishing his words, Dugu City caught up with their footsteps. He couldn't allow Wan'er to have any accidents again.

Watching them leave, Huangfu Qingyun frowned and turned to look at his father and mother, her eyes full of guilt.

"Father and Mother, today's events are all my fault. I have also implicated Doctor Ye. For my crimes, please punish me, Father and Mother."

Huangfu Qingyun knelt down, admitting his mistake with a sincere attitude.

“What use is there in saying this now Dugu Cheng will definitely not let it go just like that. He was truly furious today. His daughter has been left in such a state, enduring such fear at such a young age. If she could be restored, perhaps it would ease him somewhat. But if not, Ah Xia and Dugu Cheng are likely to have a showdown.”

"It was all my fault. I acted impulsively and committed a grave mistake that cannot be rectified."

Huangfu Qingyun knew that he was wrong about today's affairs. He also knew what kind of person Dugu City was. If they really fought, he wouldn't be afraid of life or death, but his parents would probably suffer because of it.

"Let's not dwell on it. Let's just focus on how to make amends now that things have come to this."

The Empress was filled with worry, “There’s no other way. I’ll have to go to Linxi County and see Feng Lingxi myself. At the very least, we helped her in the past. Perhaps she’ll remember our kindness and forgive Yun’er for this mistake.”

"Mother, you absolutely must not go to Xī County behind my back. This matter started because of me; even if I have to go, it will be me who goes there."

Huangfu Qingyun bowed to his father and mother, "The matter of Dr. Ye is entrusted to Father and Mother. This son will handle the matter with his elder brother himself."

"If only I knew where Wan Ying was."

In the sweltering summer heat, Emperor Huang slowly closed his eyes, his voice laced with resignation.

It was supposed to be a marriage alliance, but it ended up turning into a feud. It's all so unfortunate.

In the capital city during the scorching summer, Tian Xiaomi carried Wan'er out of the palace and walked towards the city's tavern. They had no money, but they entered the tavern just like a pale-faced woman holding a two-year-old child who was crying red-eyed.

"I'll take five chicken legs, and the best dish you have."

Tian Xiaomi took off the only hairpin from her head, which was placed on her when she was being dressed. Just as she took it down, she saw that it was a golden hairpin. It was worth quite a lot.

"This…"

The waiter's face was full of embarrassment, just as a group of people walked in behind him. They handed the waiter a silver ingot, and the waiter took it and went to prepare.

After dinner, we'll go back.

Dugu Cheng spoke, but instead of sitting down, he stood aside and watched Wan'er. She looked at Dugu Cheng, nestled in Tian Xiaomi's arms.

"Do you want to go home"

Tian Xiaomi lowered her head and asked Wan'er, seeing her nod, she touched her head, her eyes full of pity.

"Okay, auntie will take you back to find your mother."

Wan'er nodded and snuggled into Tian Xiaomi's arms.

"Wan'er."

Feng Yu Mo opened his mouth, a warm smile on his handsome face, "Do you remember Uncle Feng Yu Mo"

Waner looked at Feng Yumo. She saw Feng Yumo, like a magician, suddenly produce a string of candied haws from his hand. Waner's eyes lit up visibly.

"This candied hawthorn was bought by Uncle Yumo for Wan'er. If Wan'er likes it, you can have some."

Wǎn'ěr nodded, took it, but remained silent.

Feng Yu Mo smiled knowingly and pointed at the spot beside her, "Uncle, would you like to sit down"

Waner looked at Tian Xiaomi, waiting for her answer. Tian Xiaomi looked at Feng Yumo and nodded.

"When we're done eating, Uncle Yumu will buy you all some snacks. Let's take a carriage home."

Hearing the carriage, both of their faces turned rather grim. Neither spoke a word. Feng Yu Mo noticed their reaction and glanced at Dugu City, as if telling him about their attitude.

"Don't worry, our carriage is different from theirs. It's very comfortable, you can sleep in it, and we'll make sure you are not treated poorly at all."

Waner looked at Tian Xiaomi, saw her nod, and nodded following suit.

Only then did Dugu City order Yuesu to prepare the carriage. Feng Yu Mo accompanied them, and while he spoke, Wan'er would listen but wouldn't answer him.
