Shen Ye had no idea how he managed to make his way back to Qinan Divine Palace. When his mother finally shook him out of his daze, he was sitting beneath the four-seasons fruit tree in his own courtyard.
Madam Shiqian patted her son. Seeing the lost-soul expression on his face, she didn't even need to guess that it had something to do with Princess Aranruo. Madam Shiqian rolled her eyes inwardly, but since he was her own flesh and blood, she couldn't simply leave him to fend for himself. As a mother, while her heart ached for Princess Aranruo's plight, she ultimately couldn't bear to see Shen Ye suffer either.
