As Baili Hongzhuang and Mu Lingbing walked out of the palace, the sky was already filled with twinkling stars. They both wore faint smiles on their faces, but a hint of worry remained in their eyes.
"Yixuan, your grandmother has always been reluctant to seek treatment. What should we do?" Mu Lingbing expressed her confidence in Baili Hongzhuang's medical skills, believing that she could cure Mojinse.
Unfortunately, Mojinse was unwilling to accept treatment at the moment, and Mu Lingbing couldn't understand her thoughts.
"Mother, this is not something that can be rushed. In the past, Grandmother must have tried to heal herself, but all the doctors were helpless. She had already been disappointed too many times, so now she doesn't want to be disappointed again. We just need to slowly open her heart, and she will eventually accept it."
As a physician, Baili Hongzhuang understood the situation of patients like Mojinse very well. The unwillingness to try stemmed from the fear of facing disappointment again.
From a medical perspective, if one has already experienced numerous disappointments, there should be no fear of facing it once more because trying still holds a glimmer of hope. However, Mojinse's situation was more severe than those who refused treatment due to fear. It was because the person who had inflicted this condition upon her was the one she hated the most—Yue Siqing.
She believed that her grandmother would rather lose to anyone else in this world than to Yue Siqing. But in this matter, she had lost to Yue Siqing's hands.
The harder she tried, the more she felt like a failure.
Listening to Baili Hongzhuang's words, Mu Lingbing's expression changed slightly, and she nodded in agreement.
"You're right. I was too impatient. I've been through so many years of pain, and now that I've finally recovered, I want Mojinse to recover quickly from her suffering as well. But I didn't consider that Mojinse's situation is different from mine. My actions only made it difficult for her."
"Mother, you're just worried. Don't be too hard on yourself," Baili Hongzhuang comforted Mu Lingbing. At this moment, they both wished for each other's quick recovery.
However, it ultimately depended on Mojinse herself to overcome this.
...
When Baili Hongzhuang and Mu Lingbing arrived at their residence, they found that Situ Yan, Lan Yundiao, and Emperor Beichen were all awake. As soon as they saw the two returning, the three men walked out of the house almost simultaneously, their eyes fixed on them.
Situ Yan quickly approached Baili Hongzhuang and Mu Lingbing, asking, "How is Jinse now?"
"Her injuries are severe, but she doesn't want us to know the exact details, so I can only make a rough judgment. I can't determine the true extent of her condition," Baili Hongzhuang candidly replied. She understood that Situ Yan was the most concerned person, and there was no need to conceal anything.
Mu Lingbing then proceeded to tell everyone about everything that had happened in the palace after they entered the bedroom. After learning about it all, Situ Yan fell into a long silence.
"It seems that Yue Siqing's injuries are even more severe than we imagined," Lan Yundiao furrowed his brows. He originally thought that Mojinse's disfigurement was limited to her face, but now it seemed to affect her entire body.
"Yue Siqing must have used the most malicious means on Mojinse. Although I don't know the specifics, I can conclude that it's very serious."
