Someone come quickly, snatch the red jade bead! Don't let Bai Xiao succeed.
Bai Yu prayed in her heart, kneeling until her legs were numb yet unwilling to rise.
"Xiao Yu, don't worry." Qiao Hui reached over, holding her daughter's hand, and whispered, "Look around."
Bai Yu looked around, it was already dark, and everything was pitch black, showing no signs of anything unusual.
"There's nothing, is there?" Bai Yu said.
Qiao Hui whispered, "Yes, all the people in country C are watching. Once the underground palace opens tomorrow, you will be a hero of the empress."
Bai Yu was a bit dejected: "But, I want to become the head of the family more."
"You could talk to Ye Huang." Qiao Hui suggested.
"What's there to talk about with him?" Bai Yu asked, since he and Bai Xiao had already divorced.
Qiao Hui smiled lightly, full of scheming: "How do you know there's nothing to talk about if you don't try?"
