Mood, Situ Yan

"Baili Hongzhuang, why have Uncle and Aunt been in a deep sleep all this time?" Emperor Beichen looked at Lan Yundiao and Mu Lingbing, who showed no signs of waking up, a trace of worry appearing on his face.

He had already heard from Baili Hongzhuang earlier that the two of them were in a deep sleep, and several days had passed since they returned, yet they were still unconscious.

With Emperor Beichen voicing his doubts, Situ Yan's gaze also turned towards Baili Hongzhuang, revealing a mix of concern and nervousness.

"Baili Hongzhuang, could there be something wrong with them?"

"They haven't had a proper rest for far too long, so it's normal for them to sleep for an extended period. Due to the immense mental exhaustion they've endured, it's unlikely they'll wake up in the short term. However, I've been closely monitoring their condition, so there shouldn't be any issues," Baili Hongzhuang replied calmly.

Hearing Baili Hongzhuang's words, Situ Yan and Emperor Beichen finally relaxed.

It was widely known that rest was the best way to restore mental strength. During this resting period, mental strength would gradually recover unconsciously. Considering Lan Yundiao and Mu Lingbing's circumstances over the years, it was a normal phenomenon.

"Baili Hongzhuang, how are your parents' health now?" Situ Yan furrowed his brows and asked, "They look extremely worn out."

Baili Hongzhuang had already changed Mu Lingbing into a new set of clothes, but the scars on her exposed skin were still visible.

"They've suffered greatly under Yue Siqing's torment over the years, both physically and mentally exhausted. Moreover, Yue Siqing used them as test subjects for her poisons, resulting in an alarming accumulation of toxins in their bodies, leading to their current state of depletion. Healing them won't be easy," Baili Hongzhuang's voice turned slightly heavy, and it was likely that Situ Yan's emotions mirrored her own.

As soon as these words were spoken, Situ Yan's hands clenched into fists, and flames of anger ignited in his usually gentle and benevolent eyes.

"That despicable woman is truly outrageous!"

Situ Yan's eyes emitted fiery flames, as if he wished he could tear Yue Siqing into a thousand pieces right now.

Thinking about how Yue Siqing had flaunted her power before him all these years, he felt even more infuriated and humiliated!

So all these years, Yue Siqing had been tormenting his daughter, and he had been completely unaware of it! He had only believed that Yue Siqing knew the whereabouts of Mu Jinse, so he had spared her life all this time. But it was precisely because of his actions that his daughter and son-in-law had suffered such torment!

"Grandfather, once my parents have recovered, I will make Yue Siqing experience all this pain through the methods she used. Killing her would be letting her off too easily!" Baili Hongzhuang's eyes also flickered with flames of anger and hatred, sharing the same sentiment as Situ Yan.

After hearing Baili Hongzhuang's words, Situ Yan nodded in agreement.

As Baili Hongzhuang had said, it wasn't the time to take Yue Siqing's life yet. At the very least, Mu Lingbing and Lan Yundiao needed to witness this scene for themselves to release years of pent-up resentment.

"Then, can the poison affecting Uncle and Aunt be cured?" Emperor Beichen furrowed his handsome brows, his low and gentle voice filled with concern.

He knew how outstanding Baili Hongzhuang's medical skills were. Whenever they encountered medical problems, Baili Hongzhuang had never shown any signs of worry.

But this time, Baili Hongzhuang said it would be difficult to solve the issue. Just this alone indicated how serious the situation was.

Baili Hongzhuang nodded slightly, "It's possible, but it will take some time."
