Xixi did not deny it, she nodded obediently.

She said, "I just found my brother and sister, I don’t want to lose them again."

"But my mom said that the Emperor is the most powerful person under the sky. If my brother gets caught by the Emperor, will he lose his life?"

Bai Zhi’er had no answer.

She hadn’t thought of the right words, and she didn’t want to lie.

Xixi was a child who was very perceptive, and seeing Bai Zhi’er’s expression, her eyes immediately reddened.

"Sister, will my brother and sister be in trouble? Do they refuse to give up assassinating the Emperor?"

Bai Zhi’er held her small hand: "Xixi, both sides have their grievances. If you were in their shoes, would you stop them?"

Xixi nodded emphatically: "I definitely would! My brother is my family, so I don’t want him to die."

"The Emperor is a good person, I also don’t want him to get into trouble."

Bai Zhi’er was somewhat surprised: "You know the Emperor? How do you know he’s a good person?"

Xixi blinked: "During the day, the Emperor came."

She pointed to some food on the table: "These things were sent by the Emperor!"

Xie Yu also did not expect that upon returning to the palace where he spent his childhood, he would encounter a little girl hiding here.

At that time, he was startled, and Xixi was also frightened.

After understanding the reason, Xie Yu was not angry.

Xixi imitated his tone, saying to Bai Zhi’er: "The Emperor said, ’Ha! This demoness, bringing children to me now’."

"So, the Emperor did not punish Xixi, he just let Xixi continue to stay here, and even ordered the Imperial Chef to send lots of tasty hot dishes."

Bai Zhi’er thought of Xie Yu’s tone, and how Xixi had imitated it with her soft voice.

She couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Xixi blinked: "Sister, the Emperor was right, your smile is indeed beautiful!"

Bai Zhi’er raised her eyebrow: "He actually praised me? Didn’t he say I’m a demoness?"

Xixi nodded obediently: "Yes, but the Emperor said, a demoness smiling so beautifully must be able to bewitch people."

"However, don’t worry, sister, I’ve already told him, you’re not a demoness, you’re an immortal!"

"Only an immortal wears such beautiful dresses, and whenever I’m in danger, sister, you’re there."

Xixi hugged Bai Zhi’er’s arm tightly: "Sister, if I lose my brother and sister, can I stay with you? Otherwise, I won’t have a home."

Bai Zhi’er’s smile gradually faded.

What replaced it was a trace of heartache.

She sighed lightly, raised her hand, and touched Xixi’s soft hair.

"Xixi, don’t be afraid, I’ll do my best, you won’t lose your only family."

Bai Zhi’er finished speaking, she too fell into deep thought.

If she forcibly stopped the conflict, Xie Yu and the Regent King wouldn’t fight.

It’s just that their relationship is definitely beyond reconciliation.

And Xie Yu won’t listen to her pleas and be lenient with the Regent King afterward.

If the Emperor’s heart grows cold, he will ruthlessly execute these traitors.

Stopping them isn’t difficult, but the hard part is handling the aftermath.

Should she take the entire Regent King’s family away?

But where could she settle them...

Bai Zhi’er pressed her brow in frustration.

Yet as she lowered her head, she found Xixi had fallen asleep.

Perhaps Bai Zhi’er’s embrace was just too comforting for her.

Bai Zhi’er gently placed Xixi on the couch, covered her with a blanket, and then left.

At this moment, the sky was barely light, but because of the swirling snow, it seemed somewhat gloomy.

Bai Zhi’er still had no intention of leaving.

She knew Xie Yu must have already acted.
