"What? Imperial Father can't wake up now?!"
Heaven Dou City, Crown Prince's Mansion.
Xue Ke's eyes instantly reddened. After hearing Xue Qinghe's account, she sprang up from her seat.
She stared at Xue Qinghe in disbelief.
"How could this happen?"
"Xue Ke, don't get too worked up yet. It hasn't reached the point where he can never wake up."
Qian Renxue felt equally guilty.
She rose and gently pulled Xue Ke into her arms, softly comforting her.
Xue Ke's face was filled with grief.
"Crown Prince Brother, what exactly happened?"
"Xue Beng did it."
Qian Renxue spoke calmly.
Naturally, she would not tell Xue Ke the whole truth.
After all, she had poisoned Xue Ye as well.
"Fourth Brother?!"
Xue Ke froze, her eyes losing focus. She had never imagined it would be that seemingly dissolute man.
No wonder.
No wonder Ye Qiu had said those baffling words of love to her.
"That's right."
"Imperial Father has already confined him in the Fourth Prince's Mansion. There's simply no conclusive evidence, and Xue Beng is also connected to those Fallen Ones, so we haven't touched him for now."
Qian Renxue's expression turned grave.
She reassured her:
"Don't worry, little sister. One day, I will surely kill Xue Beng!"
Faint tear tracks streaked Xue Ke's face.
She did not understand why things had turned out this way. They were clearly all family.
Xue Ke sobbed.
"Crown Prince Brother, I want to go to the palace and see Imperial Father."
"No problem. I'll make the arrangements shortly, and we'll head to the palace."
Qian Renxue gently stroked Xue Ke's hair.
Xue Ke quietly sobbed.
Far away in the Far North.
While Qian Renxue brought Xue Ke into the palace.
Ye Qiu had already found a suitable Spirit Beast in the Far North
