Conversation, Mu Lingbing

After Bai Li Hongzhuang left, Lan Yunxiao and Mu Lingbing exchanged a complex glance, their expressions tinged with a hint of complexity.

"Yixuan has already gotten married, and we missed such an important day," Mu Lingbing said with a touch of melancholy. A woman's marriage is the most significant event in her life.

When she learned that she had given birth to a daughter, Mu Lingbing had envisioned finding an outstanding son-in-law in the future. As a mother, she wanted to personally dress her daughter and witness her getting married and starting a happy life. But not only did she fail to see Yixuan grow up and acknowledge her, she even missed this crucial moment.

Lan Yunxiao patted Mu Lingbing's shoulder, understanding the sorrow in her heart. In fact, he couldn't deny feeling a hint of unspoken melancholy himself.

"Regardless, we can still see Yixuan now, and that's already a blessing from heaven," he said, unable to contain his gratitude. Until now, he still couldn't help but feel fortunate.

"Yes, this is the best situation. I shouldn't ask for more," Mu Lingbing nodded slightly. Yixuan grew up without them, and on the contrary, Yixuan went to great lengths to save them and now tirelessly researched the antidote for them. She felt guilty in her heart. But as a mother, she couldn't provide Yixuan with anything now.

"I have seen Emperor Beichen before. He is a talented young man, and he looks quite impressive," Lan Yunxiao smiled, recalling his encounter with Emperor Beichen. At that time, he noticed Emperor Beichen's exceptional appearance, clear gaze, and a sense of unwavering determination.

Upon hearing this, the image of Emperor Beichen also appeared in Mu Lingbing's mind. "Indeed, he looks good, but Yixuan is also an exceptionally beautiful woman. In my opinion, it may not be a good thing if a man is too handsome. If he has a wandering heart, Yixuan may not be happy. You men are all the same, looking at other opportunities while having someone by your side."

"Ice, you're not being fair. I have always been wholeheartedly devoted to you," Lan Yunxiao quickly responded when Mu Lingbing turned the conversation towards him, eager to prove his loyalty. Although many men in this world had multiple wives and concubines, for him, having Mu Lingbing alone was enough.

Mu Lingbing raised an eyebrow, glancing at Lan Yunxiao. "That's not necessarily true. Wasn't your cousin always giving you suggestive looks?"

Lan Yunxiao's expression slightly changed. "Ice, she's just my cousin."

Mu Lingbing pursed her lips, remembering how Lan Yunxiao's marriage to her had caused dissatisfaction among many women. Now, looking back, those memories were still vivid. Fortunately, she was not someone to be trifled with, and she suppressed all those disturbances. In her opinion, Yixuan had such a good personality that if she couldn't suppress such things, it would be troublesome.

...

As Bai Li Hongzhuang walked towards the back mountain, Emperor Beichen was practicing his swordsmanship.

The setting sun cast a golden glow, gently swaying his light-colored attire. The young man wielded his sword, resembling a clear breeze.

The faint scent of grass permeated the air, and Bai Li Hongzhuang quietly stood by, her smile shallow and serene.
