Li Rui was still thinking about her dream. Her face was a little pale when she looked outside the opened window.
It was already night.
Xi Ying should return by tonight or tomorrow morning.
She looked at Xi Ling who was holding her hand tightly and was deeply asleep. There was no doubt that today's incident had scared Xi Ling though he didn't show it. That's why he insisted to sleep with his mother today and stay by her side constantly at least until his father returned from the Imperial Palace.
Her restless heart calmed down slightly when she saw her son's face.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared inside her room.
"An Ju"
Li Rui called out with a frown on her forehead when she saw that An Ju had a strange expression on her face.
She knew that An Ju would not have come here leaving the job of guarding the room where those shadow guards were tied if it had not been important.
