Anxious, Nangong Ou

With Bai Li Hongzhuang's resolute attitude, Emperor Bei Chen pondered for a moment. He understood that Bai Li Hongzhuang's primary concern was for everyone's well-being.

Having been together with Bai Li Hongzhuang for a while now, Emperor Bei Chen had gained some understanding of her character. He knew that Bai Li Hongzhuang wouldn't willingly let everyone endure hardships because of her.

"Are you sure your injuries are alright?" His deep, dark eyes flickered with a hint of worry. "The journey has been bumpy, and if it affects you in any way, I will feel heartbroken."

As Emperor Bei Chen's words fell, Bai Li Hongzhuang's heart softened. A sense of sweetness filled her, and she understood just how much Emperor Bei Chen cared for her.

"Don't worry, I'm sure I'll be fine."

Bai Li Hongzhuang's voice was affirmative. Although the journey had been a bit rough, it wouldn't have a significant impact. Her injuries had already healed considerably, and there was no problem with leaving Qingxiao Kingdom.

"Then, let me inform everyone."

Emperor Bei Chen gently stroked Bai Li Hongzhuang's hair, his handsome features revealing a touch of warmth. It was precisely because of Bai Li Hongzhuang's personality that he couldn't help but feel distressed.

After Emperor Bei Chen shared the decision with everyone, they all entered Bai Li Hongzhuang's room.

"Hongzhuang, your injuries haven't fully healed yet. Let's wait until you're completely recovered before we leave," Xia Zhiqing said with a worried expression. Although they had been feeling frustrated with the royal family's scrutiny recently, with Emperor Bei Chen here, they didn't have to worry about any improper actions from the royal family.

They didn't want Bai Li Hongzhuang's injuries to be affected by this. It was something they didn't want to see.

"Zhiqing is right. You don't have to worry about us. We can cultivate wherever we are," Cui Haoyan smiled and said.

Bai Li Hongzhuang had already done a lot for them, and they couldn't let her be further affected because of them.

Although Palace Shaoqing and the others didn't say anything, the concern in their eyes was evident.

Seeing the caring expressions on everyone's faces, Bai Li Hongzhuang's heart warmed, and she smiled. "My injuries are already much better. You don't need to worry about me."

In the end, everyone agreed with Bai Li Hongzhuang's decision.

In fact, Bai Li Hongzhuang had become the de facto leader of their group. Regardless of her choice, they would support her.

Emperor Bei Chen and the others immediately began their preparations. They would leave tomorrow, so they needed to make sure the horses were ready.

Observing the commotion of Emperor Bei Chen and the others, the mood among the members of the royal family was far from calm. Once Bai Li Hongzhuang left, Nangong Aochen would truly be left with no means.

Nangong Ouji's expression had become extremely gloomy. Nangong Aochen was his most beloved son, and he had tried numerous times to forcefully keep Bai Li Hongzhuang by his side.

However, just the thought of Emperor Bei Chen's identity left him feeling helpless.

As the Young Sect Master of Tiangang Sect, he couldn't afford to offend that position.

Otherwise, if Emperor Bei Chen became angry, the entire royal family might be implicated.

He couldn't bear the consequences.

But now, seeing Nangong Aochen's increasingly emaciated figure, his mood sank even lower.

Who could have imagined that as a monarch of a country, he would face such helplessness?

Once Bai Li Hongzhuang left, he would have no chance left.

Thinking of this, Nangong Ouji felt on the verge of collapse. He kept pondering and searching for a solution. If he couldn't seize this opportunity, it would truly be over.
