True feelings, Situ Yan

"Yixuan, how is your grandmother doing?" Mu Lingbing asked anxiously.

Baili Hongzhuang looked down at the unconscious Mu Jinse and showed a hint of worry as well. She replied, "I have temporarily controlled the poison in my grandmother's body. She passed out due to exhaustion, but once she wakes up, there shouldn't be any immediate problems. However, the venomous creature has been absorbing nutrients from her body for all these years. You should take care of her while I study this venom."

"Alright," everyone nodded in agreement. None of them had anticipated that Mu Jinse's condition would be this dire. Compared to her current state, mere disfigurement would have been far less severe. They were truly at a loss for what to do.

Situ Yan gazed at Mu Jinse with heartache, blaming himself for allowing her to fall into such a state due to his past foolishness. Seeing her struggling as if she were better off dead just moments ago filled him with utmost distress.

He carefully lifted Mu Jinse onto the bed, treating her like a precious treasure. Despite her disfigured appearance, he could still recognize that the person before him was the Mu Jinse he had yearned for day and night.

Upon witnessing Situ Yan's actions, the others' expressions also changed. They had already known about Situ Yan's feelings for Mu Jinse, but now, after seeing his actions, their understanding deepened. In fact, anyone who saw Mu Jinse's current appearance would be shocked and even find it horrifying. Even with their preparedness, Lan Yundiao and Emperor Beichen still found it difficult to accept when they saw her for the first time.

However, Situ Yan demonstrated with his actions what true affection meant. Mu Lingbing felt relieved upon witnessing this scene. During these past few days, she had conversed with Mu Jinse about many things, and Mu Jinse had harbored deep hatred towards Situ Yan. When Mu Jinse left alone back then, Mu Lingbing had been more concerned than resentful. But when Yue Siqing harmed both Mu Lingbing and Baili Hongzhuang, Mu Jinse's feelings towards Situ Yan had transformed into pure hatred due to his role in the incident. She couldn't accept the fact that the person she cared about the most had been hurt because of Situ Yan's mistakes. Now, Mu Lingbing only hoped that Mu Jinse would recover quickly. She believed that once Mu Jinse learned about everything Situ Yan had done during these years, she would forgive him.

After exchanging glances, Mu Lingbing, Lan Yundiao, and Emperor Beichen left the room. It was enough for Situ Yan to take care of Mu Jinse during her unconscious moments. After returning to the room, Baili Hongzhuang started her research. Previously, she had been at a loss, but now she had a direction to focus on. Understanding the nature of the venomous creature was crucial for her research.

When Mu Lingbing and the others returned to check on Baili Hongzhuang, they found her door tightly shut. They also wanted to learn about the situation with the venomous creature, but they knew it was not the right time to disturb Baili Hongzhuang. They reckoned that she was even more anxious than they were.

In the following days, Emperor Beichen would periodically deliver food to Baili Hongzhuang's room, but they rarely saw her outside. Baili Hongzhuang seemed to have entered a state of frenzy, just like when she had helped Mu Lingbing and Lan Yundiao detoxify their bodies. However, the current situation was even more urgent.
