He hoped his daughter could grow up slowly under his protection.
Just like that, after the father and daughter had a heartfelt conversation in Xihe Hall, all previous divisions and confrontations vanished. The bond between father and daughter seemed to have deepened.
Meanwhile, in Chaoren Hall, word reached Li Qinghe that Imperial Physician Fang had been abducted. A flash of surprise crossed her eyes.

"Did you find out who was responsible?" she asked in a low voice.
