Chapter 138 – Reasons to Return (2)
The days gradually turned warm. After the summer solstice, the citizens of the capital felt a little stuffy. This restlessness was not only due to the weather, but also to the increasingly severe disputes in the imperial court.
This was because the power held by the empress dowager was still great. Every time Mo Linyuan wanted to do something, it would be extremely difficult to put it to action. But when he retaliated, it was absolutely impossible for the empress dowager to do anything.
When Mo Linyuan once again used the empty treasury as a reason to reject Zhao Yunqin’s idea of building a summer palace, Zhao Yunqin finally exploded! In the great hall, she flicked her sleeves and left, cursing the Emperor for being unfilial.
Everyone remembered her vicious gaze when she departed in a fury. Therefore, when Mo Linyuan was about to leave the palace, he was stopped by his trusted aides.
“Your Majesty, the empress dowager is a narrow-minded person. She definitely won’t let you off easily for striking her like this today. Leaving the palace now is too dangerous.”
“Indeed, your majesty. Moreover, that Grandmaster Bi Hua has a very suspicious identity. I’m afraid there’s a trap for you waiting if you were to personally pick him up.”
While Mo Linyuan listened, he calmly changed into his regular clothes.
The empress dowager was still truly a powerful foe. Once she really decided to fight to the death, there wouldn’t be much of a difference between staying in the palace and staying outside. So, Mo Linyuan said, “It doesn’t matter. As long as she bares her fangs at me, I will have to fight back.”
As long as this master was willing to enter the palace, he would be able to bring Ye Mu inside to be treated safely. Otherwise, being left in the temple even if he had sent many soldiers to protect it…he would still feel uneasy.
“How about…” Zi Xu, who had already been promoted to the commander of the guards, said, “Should I bring him back?”
“No need.” Mo Linyuan said seriously, “I’ll go personally.”

On the other side, Ye Mu had fallen into an extremely deep dream.
Inside her dream, her father was in an unbearable state, groaning in a hospital bed.
Her father, who had fought on the battlefield in his youth, was a very patient and taciturn man. However, after a long period of chemotherapy and illness, he could not bear the pain even if it was the slightest touch.
“Miss Ye, your father is suffering from leukemia and his condition is very serious. He needs to find a suitable bone marrow for the transplant.”
But then, “Miss Ye! Congratulations! You are a match with your father. Therefore, you are a suitable bone marrow donor.”
The scene changed, the doctor in white coat worriedly telling her. “The operation will take two days and in these two days you will be completely numb… You have been injured recently, why don’t we push the operation back?”
“… Alright, since you insist, let’s arrange the operation in a week.”
Inside the operation room, lying on the bed and ready to be anesthetized, she turned to her father and swore in her heart that as long as this operation could make him better, she would do anything.
Anything!
With the strong infusion of the anesthetic, she fell into a deep sleep. It was only then that she came to this strange world.
If it wasn’t for Ye Li, Ye Mu might not have had such a strong impulse to come back home. Despite his temperament of an extremely tyrannical and detestable villain, she experienced the warmth that only her father could give her from him.
She must wake up! She still had many things to fulfill! She needed to obtain the city boundary map to return to her original world. Her sick father is waiting for her!
This strong desire to wake up was the first thing the Silent Buddhist Master felt upon inspecting Ye Mu. Only after checking did he found out that Ye Mu’s body was absorbing the external Qi at an abnormally fast rate. At this rate, it wouldn’t be long before she woke up.
