Hearing that, Lu Liangwei wept tears of delight, and her entire face lit up with rapture.
Her darling Ji'er was finally back home safe and sound! How she wished she had a pair of wings so she could fly home right now!
Wiping her tears away, she threw her arms around Chu Jiu, her words coming out in a babble. "I'm so glad… Ji'er's all right, thank heavens… Jiu, I'm just so happy."
She could not stop her tears from spilling down her cheeks as she spoke.
Her tears smudged her makeup and turned it into a terrible mess, but her eyes shone brighter than ever.
"Yes, Princess Ji'er has returned safely." Chu Jiu could empathize with her, and her eyes were red-rimmed as well.
She could never forget the Empress's bloodshot eyes—it was as if blood would trickle out of them at any moment—the day Manna broke into the palace and told her about what she had done to Princess Ji'er.
The Empress really loved her children a lot!
