"Can you answer my question now?" Chu Qingmeng still felt uncomfortable in her neck. Seeing her constantly shifting, Mo Liujin knew she must be uncomfortable in this position, so he gently helped her up, sat on the edge of the bed, and let her rest face down on his lap. Tucking her long hair behind her shoulders, he replied, "Last night I saw how soundly you were sleeping and didn't have the heart to wake you. We truly didn't expect anyone to lure us away by falsely using the Emperor's name. Fortunately, Father had already sent people to find a doctor beforehand, and they were brought into the palace together last night. It was only after entering the palace and meeting the Duke of Zhenguo and the others that we realized we had been tricked. Everyone was burning with anxiety at the time, but fortunately daybreak came. Daybreak meant they wouldn't dare make a move against the female family members left behind in the mansion just yet. To be honest, after realizing we were tricked, every single one of us was frantic, wishing we could split ourselves in two and rush back."
"Then how did you all get back?" Mu Lingxue asked, curiosity getting the better of her.
"The Emperor woke up," Mo Liuyuan chimed in, taking a sip of tea.
