After quite a while, the Great Yan Empress took a deep breath and commanded, "Return to the Imperial Capital immediately!"
"We can't yet. Little Yan Yu went to treat an illness, and it's not clear how long it will take..."
The Empress Dowager whispered in defense.
In fact, she had long wanted to return, but when she secretly left, she had sworn with great assurance that she would cure Little Ling'Er.
Without a cure, how could she face going back?
Of course, the main reason was fear... of being scolded.
"Treat an illness?"
The Great Yan Empress was clearly stunned.
Yan Yu reported back daily with the situation, so how could he suddenly be ill?!
How was it possible?
You know, Yan Yu is a Cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Realm!
Even if he were ill, couldn't the Empress Dowager have treated him?
The Empress's eyes slightly narrowed as she realized that this was perhaps the true reason the Empress Dowager answered the Sound Transmission.
"Explain in detail!"
