Baili Hongzhuang informed Emperor Beichen and Situ Yan about the awakening of Mu Lingbing and Lan Yunxiao.
Situ Yan's expression also trembled with excitement upon learning this news, his eyes unable to conceal his elation.
"Grandfather, would you like to go and see my mother?"
Baili Hongzhuang assessed Situ Yan's expression, sensing his excitement and nervousness.
After all these years, Mu Lingbing had never seen him before.
After contemplating for a moment, Situ Yan shook his head.
"They have just awakened and need proper rest. They shouldn't be subjected to too much stimulation. Let's wait for some time."
Saying this, Situ Yan slowly departed, his footsteps becoming increasingly heavy.
Watching Situ Yan's retreating figure, Baili Hongzhuang furrowed her brows involuntarily, a trace of worry appearing on her face.
"Hongzhuang, perhaps it's because of the unfamiliarity with his hometown. Master hasn't figured out how to face your mother yet," Emperor Beichen spoke slowly.
Having grown up with his master, Emperor Beichen deeply understood his master's feelings for Mu Jinse.
She was the person he least wanted to hurt, yet inadvertently hurt her the most.
Facing Mu Lingbing, the master felt equally remorseful.
It was precisely because of this guilt that he couldn't confront all of this.
Baili Hongzhuang nodded slightly, understanding her grandfather's thoughts.
"Not only that, my mother has never had parents since childhood. When she asks about this, grandfather will undoubtedly remain silent. And there is also the news about grandmother."
Baili Hongzhuang was perceptive, having long ago noticed the underlying issues from Situ Yan's attitude.
If their grandmother had passed away, it would undoubtedly be the most difficult thing for Situ Yan to accept.
That's why he's afraid...
Emperor Beichen deeply glanced at Baili Hongzhuang, finding her thoughts to be truly correct.
"But what Master said is true. Aunt now needs to rest well and adjust her state to recover as soon as possible. If Master were to suddenly appear, perhaps Aunt wouldn't be able to bear it."
Hearing this, Baili Hongzhuang pondered for a moment and said, "I will try to communicate with my mother subtly and test her attitude."
"That's a good plan."
A hint of amusement appeared in Emperor Beichen's eyes. As long as Mu Lingbing is mentally prepared, this matter will become much simpler.
Baili Hongzhuang returned to the room once again. Emperor Beichen didn't want to disturb the precious time of Baili Hongzhuang and her parents, so he didn't enter to interrupt.
Lan Yunxiao and Mu Lingbing's gaze remained fixed on Baili Hongzhuang. After more than a decade without seeing their daughter, they felt that no amount of looking was enough.
They never expected that during their absence, their daughter would grow up to be such an outstanding individual, which truly brought them joy.
Baili Hongzhuang poured two glasses of water and handed them to Mu Lingbing and Lan Yunxiao before speaking, "Father, Mother, how do you feel now?"
Based on her judgment, after the effect of these medicinal pills, Mu Lingbing and Lan Yunxiao's physical conditions had improved significantly.
At least, they were stronger than before when they appeared so weak.
However, because the toxins had not been completely eliminated, there was still some pain remaining.
"We are much better now." Lan Yunxiao smiled and said, "You administered so many medicinal pills to us. How can we not be better?"
His body had been deficient for so many years, sickly and weak. Only now could he feel a trace of strength within him.
