In the Mountain Charm Clan's territory, Yin Chen stood on the balcony outside the room, having finished listening to Hou's account.
At this moment, Hou was lounging in a hammock made from vines on a large tree next to the balcony, lazily sunbathing under the shade.
Yin Chen turned his gaze towards him and asked, "The Empress is ill, and yet you don't seem worried at all."
Hou half-opened one eye to look at Yin Chen before closing it again, replying, "I just believe in Qingge."
A simple sentence made Yin Chen's blood-red eyes narrow and his lips press together slightly.
It's not that he's not worried, nor is he detached, but regardless of anything else, just the phrase "believe in Mu Qingge" dispels all concerns. Because Hou believes Mu Qingge will save Yin Le and cure her illness, he has no need to worry.
Yin Chen slowly shifted his gaze to the scenery ahead.
However, what entered his blood-red eyes wasn't a beautiful landscape, but every memory since he met Mu Qingge.
