"Your Highness... Your Highness..."  

Young Master Meng, who had been in a deep sleep for three whole days, was now having a nightmare that made her heart twist in pain.  

Those soft murmurs that came out without her knowing finally woke up the person who had stayed by her bedside for three full days.  

"Do not... do not go..."  

Hot tears had already filled her eyes and soaked her hair.  

After gently wiping away the tears from the corner of the Young Master's eyes, that person softly patted her cheeks, afraid she would stay stuck in that nightmare.  

They kept calling her name over and over again.  

"Chang'an, Chang'an! You must wake up!"

That familiar voice really did pull the Young Master out from the nightmare.  

"Mother?"  

The one who had stayed by Young Master Meng's side all these days without leaving was her birth mother, Meng Muxin. She was also the junior sister of Sect Master Zhong.  

When she saw her child finally open her eyes, Meng Muxin finally let out a small breath after holding her worry for so long.  

"Mother is here."  

As she raised her hand to gently wipe the cold sweat off her child's forehead, Meng Muxin softly asked, "What kind of nightmare did you have?"  

Suddenly hearing her mother’s voice, the Young Master could not help but feel a little dazed.  

In all the nightmares from the past few days, there was always the Princess' figure.  

Not only the moments when she and the Princess had gotten to know each other, fallen in love, and stayed together, but even the scenes of their parting were there.

That scene of parting was really a hard nightmare for her to bear.  

Now, after hearing her mother call her, for a moment, the Young Master's memory seemed to go back to the warm days before she had left the Sect when her mother was still by her side.  

It felt like she had never left the Blood Flame Sect, and had never met the Princess.  

The Young Master had not fully woken up yet. For a short while, she could not tell if all those unforgettable moments in the dream were only a dream, or if they had really happened.  

"Maybe... maybe it was just a nightmare."  

The Young Master blinked in confusion. She looked at the darkness before her eyes and tried to raise her hand to rub them, but the sudden pain from her right shoulder made her suck in a cold breath.  

"Hiss..."

Meng Muxin quickly got up and pressed down her hand, carefully placing it back under the blanket.  

"You, your wounds are not healed yet, so do not move around."  

The wounds on her body, and the darkness in front of her eyes, still made the Young Master remember the things that had happened before she fell asleep.  

Meng Chang'an clenched her hand tight, trying to make one last struggle.  

"Mother... did you... forget to light the lamp?"  

Outside, the daylight was bright. The warm afternoon sun was shining into the room through the wide-open window.  

Who would need a lamp now?  

Just this one sentence made Meng Muxin's heart ache so bad it hurt the tip of her heart.  

Who would have thought that her child had only gone out for a short trip, and came back covered in wounds?  

At first, when Gu Qingyin said she had lost her sight, it was one thing. But now, seeing with her own eyes that the child really could not see anything, was another thing altogether.  

Meng Muxin did not know how to answer in a way that could make this child feel better. She only looked quietly at those empty, dull red eyes.  

They were family, connected by blood, heart to heart.

Her mother's long silence had already let the Young Master guess the answer.  

The last bit of light in her eyes that still held some hope slowly dimmed away.  

"I understand. Mother, please go out first. I want to be alone for a while."  

The Young Master did not cry or make a fuss. She forced herself to stay calm and said it, then reached out and pulled the quilt over her head.  

"Do not smother yourself."  

Meng Muxin knew her daughter's temper well.  

She knew that right now her heart was hurting badly. No matter what she said, the girl would not listen. It would only make her feel worse.  

So Meng Muxin did not bother saying any useless words to comfort her, and she did not listen to her either by leaving the room.  

Instead, she pulled the child's little head out from under the quilt and gently pulled her into her arms.  

"Mother is here with you. Do not be afraid."  

The grievances and tears the Young Master had been holding back before could not be held back anymore once she touched her mother's arms.  

She did not resist. She just quietly buried herself into her mother’s embrace and held onto her mother’s clothes tightly. She let her tears flow out without control like a flood.  

Silent crying hurts the heart the most.

Meng Muxin's heart ached badly, but she still did not say much at a time like this.  

Just like when she was a child, she gently stroked her back to help her breathe smoothly.  

One cried quietly. One comforted quietly.  

This had always been the way between mother and daughter.  

Neither said too much, and neither asked too much.  

Not until the tears had soaked through Meng Muxin's clothes did Meng Chang'an slowly calm down a little.  

She shyly lifted her head from her mother’s arms and asked with a sob,  

"Mother, will I become disabled?"  

"No, you just got hurt and were poisoned. Once your aunt makes the cure and you heal, you will be fine."  

No matter how stubborn and strong she usually was, no matter how much she tried to act maturely, she was still just a child.  

She was still scared.

Seeing that the Young Master finally stopped crying, Meng Muxin cupped her cheeks and used a silk handkerchief to gently wipe away the tears and snot still left on her face.  

Then she spoke each word slowly and seriously,  

"Besides, even if you really become disabled, you still have Mother with you. If you are disabled for a while, Mother will take care of you for a while. If you are disabled for a lifetime, Mother will take care of you for a lifetime. So Chang'an, you do not have to be afraid."  

"You are lying."  

Her mother had not coaxed her this patiently in a long time.  

But the Young Master still could not feel happy.  

Thinking about the fight she had with her mother before she left, she just felt even more wronged in her heart.  

So she took this chance to finally say out loud the grievance she had been holding in for so long.

"If that is really the case, then I guess you would just find me a burden too, getting in the way of you and her being together."

In that nightmare, it was not just her mother, father, and elder brother— even the Princess she liked the most had left her behind because she had become disabled.

Thinking about that, Meng Chang'an felt even sadder.

"Are you still mad about last time?"

If it were before, this silly child, even when angry, would only sulk and never show any weakness to her.  

Saying such sour and bitter words like today was truly rare.

Meng Muxin gave a helpless smile.  

She stroked her head again and slowly explained to her.

"It was my fault. I should have explained it to you properly back then, instead of just stopping you and making you upset. Not going to your brother's wedding was not only because she was sick. More than that, it was because that kind of marriage clearly was not simple. I did not want to get involved in the mess of the court, so I chose not to go. To me, she is important, but you and your brother are just as important. If that had been an ordinary wedding, no matter what, I would have gone with you."

A few months before the invitation arrived, He Changping had even mentioned the matter between him and Ye Wuyou to her and asked for her opinion.  

Her son was not a fickle man.  

How could he change his heart in just a few months and go marry the Princess of the dynasty?  

She knew that the wedding was not simple, but she had no wish to stop it.  

She only chose not to see it, letting those children go play, go mess around, fight, break through on their own.  

The world of the young should be wild and carefree.  

Only then is it worthy of youth.  

Who could have thought that this matter would end up involving Chang'an as well—and involve her this deeply?  

If she had known this would happen, she would never have let her daughter go off alone on such a dangerous journey.

Thinking of this, Meng Muxin could not help but pinch the tip of the Young Master’s ear and scold with a pout,  

"Of course, if I had known you would be chewed down to the bone when you went to the capital alone, I would have gone with you back then."

Meng Chang’an was stunned.  

What did she mean by being chewed down to the bone…?

She could not guess how much her mother actually knew, so she dared not talk back.  

When she thought of the Princess, she turned her head away with guilt.  

"Mother, what nonsense are you saying…"

If her mother really meant the Princess, she truly wanted to correct her.  

It was clearly her who had eaten the Princess clean, not leaving even a bone behind…

Seeing the way this silly girl avoided the topic, Meng Muxin felt a bit sad.

The flesh and blood closest to her, yet she was unwilling to share her thoughts with her.  

However, Meng Muxin did not press her.  

She continued to rub the little young master's head, seemingly casually bringing up, "Your sister-in-law has come, she wants to see you. How about it, do you want me to bring her to see you?"

Meng Chang’an was stunned.  

"Which sister-in-law?"

Seeing her like this, Meng Muxin asked with a half-smile, "How many sister-in-laws do you still want? Of course, it's your elder brother's legitimate wife, Her Highness."

Meng Chang’an really wanted to tell her mother, that was not her sister-in-law, but her wife.  

But now that she had become like this, a useless person, how could she still face the Princess?

She didn't even know how to face the Princess in the future, so how could she dare tell her mother and have her accept her relationship with the Princess?  

The Young Master underestimated her mother's love and indulgence for her.  

Thinking of this, she could only suppress her feelings and respond in a low voice, "Anyway, I cannot see, there is no point in meeting her. Just send her back."

Her tone was both downcast and dejected, as though a delicate flower had withered in an instant.  

With a single glance, Meng Muxin immediately saw how much her daughter cared for the Princess.  

If, as the child said today, the person was sent away, this flower would only wilt more and more in the future.

Not wanting her daughter to suffer the pain and torment while also holding in the longing and heartache at such a young age, adding unnecessary troubles, she deliberately said,  

"Alright, I will go tell your Master and the others that you do not want to meet her. I will not stop your Master. After they finish discussing, I will have them break that Princess’ legs and throw her out."

Meng Chang'an was anxious and quickly asked, "Break her legs?! Why would you make things hard for her?"

Seeing the Young Master panic like this, Meng Muxin did not stop talking. She even pretended to be angry and said, "Make things hard for her? I still want to ask her, why does she want to make things hard for you? As your sister-in-law, she has bad intentions toward you. Now, even though things have come to this point, she dares to trick us and say that you two are in love, asking for our approval? This is all nonsense, it makes me so angry!"

After saying this, Meng Muxin even purposely gave a cold laugh.

"Do not worry, I know you do not like women. How could you have any interest in her? She must be lying and ruining your reputation. It is normal that you do not want to meet her. I will go find her and settle accounts with her."

The Young Master’s face turned red and pale. After being provoked by Meng Muxin like this, in a rush, she blurted out.

"I like her! Mother, I really like her!"

Meng Chang'an was both anxious and angry, but at this moment, she could not rush out to protect the Princess. She could only blindly grab onto her mother’s clothes and ask for help.

"Mother, please take me to find her. Do not bully her, alright?"

She had thought about standing hand in hand with the Princess in front of the elders to explain their relationship.

Whether the elders agreed or not, it would be something she and the Princess would bear together. She could go with the Princess to persuade the elders and get their approval. Instead of now, where the Princess had to face it all alone.

Thinking about this, the Young Master felt heartache.

Seeing her daughter’s tense look, like someone suddenly sitting up from their dying illness*, Meng Muxin did not agree right away. Instead, she half-embraced her and pretended to be troubled as she gave a reminder.

*Line from the poem ‘Hearing that Le Tian  was appointed as the Sima of Jiangzhou’ by Yuan Zhen expressing utter shock.

"But this mother just apologized to you, and it seems like you have not accepted it yet. You have not forgiven me."

Meng Chang'an finally heard this obvious threat.

She had no choice and could only helplessly say, "I forgive you, I forgive you. How could I be angry with Mother? Please, Mother, take me to find her quickly!"

Only then did Meng Muxin smile with satisfaction.

The withered flower was broken, but still alive.

The Divine Doctor Zhou Jinyi, who had been standing at the door with the medicine for quite a while, originally did not want to disturb the mother and daughter’s warm time, so she refrained from speaking. But to her surprise, she ended up witnessing this scene.

The target of the Young Master’s sour words, Zhou Jinyi, finally could not help but glare at Meng Muxin when their eyes met. She opened her mouth and silently scolded her.

"You, always bullying the child."
