Threatened with her life by Concubine Liu, Mo Liujin sat dejectedly against the courtyard wall, looking utterly drained.
Mo Liuyuan sat down beside him and patted his shoulder. "You should go talk to our sister first. Otherwise, if she finds out after someone is already brought into the mansion, she's bound to be even angrier."

Her reaction will only be worse. Ever since His Majesty ascended the throne, Qingmeng's medicine has never stopped. Lately, it's not just the medicine—even her meals have been entirely replaced with restorative dishes. I asked Quan Si how her health is doing. Quan Si just frowned and shook his head. Even with his medical skills, he finds Qingmeng's condition tricky. I... I really don't dare tell her..." If he had known it would come to this, he should have gone back last night!
