"Qingyin, are you there? Can you hear your mother's voice? It's been so long, and I haven't been able to contact you."

At first, Xu Qingyin couldn't believe that she could actually hear her mother's voice. It was only when the voice repeated itself that she came to her senses and quickly responded:

"Mother, can you hear me?"

Hearing Xu Qingyin talking to herself, Lu Yan was a little shocked, but he quickly realized that maybe it was Master Xu who came to pass on a message to them, so he just listened quietly by the side.

"I can hear it, I can hear it. Oh, Qingyin, I finally heard your voice. You have no idea how worried I was about you. It's all mother's fault. If I had known, I wouldn't have let you go. Now the rumors in the capital are all over that you and His Royal Highness Prince Jing are dead."

The ethereal sound coming from her ears sounded like her mother's cry. She never expected that Master Xu, who had always been so tenacious, would have such a fragile moment. Xu Qingyin couldn't help but feel very distressed for her mother.

Xu Qingyin thought that the rumors in the capital that the two of them were dead were expected, but she hurriedly said to his mother:

"People in the capital are saying this now, so mother, please don't rush to refute us. We are on our way back to the capital now. I hope mother won't make too much noise. We will be back soon, and we can discuss everything after we return."

Since Master Xu had already confirmed the safety of Prince Jing and Xu Qingyin, he naturally did not say anything more and quickly agreed.

In fact, if she made too much noise, they might not be able to return safely on this road.

When they arrived in the capital, the first thing they did was to go up to Master Xu to discuss the matter.

They did not tell Master Xu that the girl was still alive. On the one hand, it was because they thought the mother might not agree with this. On the other hand, if more people knew this secret, more people would be in danger. It was better for them to know it.

"I never thought Lu Wei would do such a thing. It's really outrageous. But think about it, hasn't he done enough such evil things over the years? It's only to be expected."

Xu Qingyin also knew that Lu Wei had always done such evil things, so he asked his mother:

"So what do you think about this matter, mother?"

"He's already passed away. We can't let his death be in vain. Since he's done something like this, he must take responsibility for it. No matter what the emperor decides, we have witnesses and evidence. We have to fight for it."

After saying this, Xu Qingyin and Lu Yan both nodded. In fact, they both thought so too, but they were afraid that Master Xu and the Queen would worry that if they ran into the Imperial Concubine directly, something bad might happen, so they did so.

Unexpectedly, although Master Xu was worried about their safety, he was always willing to let them get involved in such dangerous things.

For some reason, Xu Qingyin always had an ominous premonition about her mother's reaction, as if her mother clearly didn't want her to be involved in the whirlpool again and again, but she was constantly training her strength as if for the upcoming battle.

Especially when I thought about my mother being able to transmit sound with the bracelet, I started to ask her:

"Mother, why can you use this bracelet to transmit your voice? Why have I never heard you use this bracelet to transmit your voice to me before?"

Just as he said this, Master Xu, who had been tense up, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

They usually knew Master Xu, who was always calm and composed in everything. They had never seen her vomiting blood like this before, so they hurriedly helped her up.

"Mother, what's wrong with you? Why are you like this?"

Master Xu stood up and waved his hand:

"Qingyin, Mother is fine. She's just using the bracelet to communicate with you, which is really draining my energy. But I'm worried about your safety. What if something happens to you? Or what if you really need me? So I forced my inner strength to move forward."

Hearing her mother say this, Xu Qingyin felt sorry for her mother, but she was even more shocked. She had always thought that this bracelet was just a kind of luck that could help one travel through time and space in a book, but her mother actually had this kind of inner strength and could even control it herself. What secret was there?

So before she had time to ask, she hurriedly expressed her concern for Master Xu's life and safety.

However, Master Xu did not want to talk to them about this matter any more because she had more important things to do, so she hurriedly emphasized to them:

"If you two want Lu Wei to be punished, then you'd better hurry up, because something big is going to happen in the palace soon. I might not even be able to protect you. From now on, the Empress will rely on you two for protection."

Of course, Xu Qingyin couldn't accept what her mother said. She had finally seen her mother, so how could she tolerate any risk of her mother leaving her again?

"Mother, what do you mean by this? You didn't get seriously injured because of the bracelet transmitting sound this time, did you?"

"That's not the case, but..."

After saying this, Master Xu sighed. His daughter and His Royal Highness Prince Jing would not understand anyway, so it would be better for him not to say what he was thinking now.

"I won't say anything else. You two should hurry to the palace."

When Lu Yan walked into the hall, Lu Wei obviously did not expect that his brother could come back alive, because Xu Qingyin was a girl after all, and this matter was so bloody, so Lu Yan would never agree to let him go with him no matter what.

Xu Qingyin couldn't persuade him, and she was also worried about her mother's health, so she stayed at home and chose to take care of her mother.

"I didn't expect Third Brother to be so kind. He actually returned safe and sound. He must be blessed by God. But have you found any clues about this matter?"

He didn't kill Lu Yan, and although he felt very unwilling in his heart, he was also sure that the woman was indeed dead. If she wasn't dead, the news would have spread throughout the capital by now.

Anyway, this person has been dealt with, so I have nothing to worry about.

But just when he thought of this, he heard Lu Yan say:

"I really didn't find anything, but I found a letter of accusation from my brother the Emperor."
