The Emperor furrowed his brows, "How can you ensure that the person you bring back will not die from the long and bumpy journey? What if she dies? What about Diao Bin then?"
Chu Hai and Diao Yao's faces both turned slightly unsightly. When the Emperor mentioned their mother, he spoke as if she was not a person but rather an animal to be fetched that must not die, his only concern being for Diao Bin's safety.
"I think the Saintess has been hidden by her master. Just because there have been no issues over the years doesn't mean no one has tried to harm her. But, we will inevitably draw the attention of various factions from the Western Regions. What if someone strikes then? I think she will be better protected in Danliang Country," Bai Ruozhu inquired.
The Empress Dowager looked at the Emperor, "Ruozhu makes sense. It's still safer to bring her back. If something happens when she's outside, we can do nothing but watch helplessly."
