Seeing no movement inside the chamber, Mu Lingbing couldn't help but speak up, "Mother, can you open the doors to the chamber?"
She hadn't seen Mu Jinse for too long, and she really wanted to see her, not just communicate through the closed doors of the chamber.
Bai Li Hongzhuang sat quietly by the side, not saying much. The reunion between Mu Lingbing and Mu Jinse was the most important thing.
"Ice'er, Yixuan, I am not the same person I used to be."
Mu Jinse's voice was filled with bitterness. "Let me remain in your memories and not see me anymore."
Mu Jinse leaned against the chamber doors, tears streaming down her face.
She longed to get a good look at Ice'er, to see the grown-up Yixuan, but in her current state, neither human nor ghost, how could she be recognized?
Rather than letting them see her in this state, she would rather not meet them at all.
"Mother, the Grand Elder has already informed us of your situation. It's all right, we will find a way together and surely cure you!"
"Grandmother, my medical skills are excellent. Trust me, I will restore you to your former self," Bai Li Hongzhuang earnestly pleaded.
She knew that Yue Siqing must have used the most venomous poisons on Mu Jinse, but she had confidence in her own medical skills.
"Mother, Yixuan is an extraordinary physician. Over the years, Yue Siqing has poisoned both Yunxiao and me many times, and it was Yixuan who detoxified us. Don't worry, everything will be fine. Even if we can't cure you, you are still our dearest family!"
Mu Lingbing placed both hands on the chamber doors, regardless of how Mu Jinse had changed, she would forever be the person who had cared for her, loved her, and accompanied her since childhood.
After hearing Mu Lingbing's words, tears welled up in Mu Jinse's eyes. Over the years, she had seen her own repulsive appearance in the mirror, making it difficult for her to face herself.
She was truly afraid that others wouldn't be able to bear seeing her in her current state!
Bai Li Hongzhuang and Mu Lingbing exchanged a glance, realizing that the situation was even more serious than they had thought.
Considering Mu Jinse's condition, she must also be longing to see them. However, if she refused to open the door in such a state of mind, it meant she was afraid.
What had she turned into that she couldn't even summon the courage to see them?
"Mother, please let us see you. I know it's because of me that you have become like this. If you refuse to see me, then I won't be able to face myself. If it weren't for my incompetence, you wouldn't have ended up like this. It was my foolishness that allowed the villain to find an opportunity and made you and Yixuan suffer so much!"
Mu Lingbing forcefully knocked her forehead against the chamber doors, regretting for far too long.
Ever since she learned about Mu Jinse's condition, she found it increasingly difficult to forgive herself.
In fact, she had already reached her limit, bearing all this torment for so many years.
Because of her ignorance, her arrogance, her indifference, she had caused such a mistake!
She suddenly felt that all the suffering she had endured over the years was deserved, all because of her negligence!
But Mu Jinse and Bai Li Hongzhuang had suffered so much because of her!
"Ice'er! None of this is your fault!"
Witnessing Mu Lingbing's actions, Mu Jinse became anxious. She didn't want Mu Lingbing to shoulder all the blame.
