"She doesn't even know who I am yet. I just found out I'm pregnant with my mother, and she hasn't even met her second sister yet. Nothing can happen to her, Your Highness. Nothing can happen to her."

Tang Mumu's voice was hoarse, tears had blurred her vision, and her hands were tightly grasping Rong Yan's sleeves.

Rong Yan's throat rolled, and his voice was a little hoarse. "I know, don't worry, I will get more people to look for it together, just listen to me and come back with me, okay?"

Tang Mumu suddenly grabbed Rong Yan's front. In order to cooperate with her movements, Rong Yan had to bend down and almost hold her whole body in his arms.

"Can you send more people to help me find my mother? She doesn't even know the way outside and has never interacted with others. If she waits too long, something bad will happen."

Rong Yan's hands moved very gently, wiping away her tears before he replied, "Okay, I'll send everyone from the palace out, but you have to come back with me first."

Tang Mumu nodded weakly and stood up again with the help of Rong Yan, but Rong Yan picked her up and wrapped her up in a mink fur coat.

Tang Mumu was out of strength and fell into a deep sleep leaning on Rong Yan's chest.

Tang Mumu slept very soundly. During this time, Rong Yan came to see her once and then hurried out to look for Liu. Unfortunately, there was still no news after a night.

The next morning, Tang Mumu felt groggy and didn't know what time it was. He walked to the window in a daze and opened the pane. A gust of cold wind blew in, and Tang Mumu shivered suddenly. Then he felt that he was alive again.

"Princess, why don't you open the window without getting dressed?" Jinse saw Tang Mumu standing in front of the window wearing only a middle shirt when she entered the room. She glanced down at her feet and said anxiously, "Why don't you even wear shoes? It's freezing outside. Princess, you'll get sick if you do this."

It started snowing outside again. At first, there were only small snowflakes, but then the snow got bigger and bigger, gradually becoming like fluff and cotton wool. The sky and the earth were all gray and white, just like Tang Mumu's mood at the moment.

"Has His Highness gone to court?" Tang Mumu walked to the table and sat down. His throat was burning. He drank a cup of tea and then poured another cup and gulped it down. He kept thinking about where his mother might have gone.

"Your Highness claimed to be ill and did not attend the court today. He went with Fan Yan and the others to look for Aunt Liu, and has not returned yet."

"What time is it now?"

"Just after 3:30 pm, His Highness came over at 1:00 pm and told me to take good care of the princess."

Tang Mumu shook his dizzy head, stood up and told Jinse, "Help me wash up, I will go change His Highness in a while."

Although Jinse wanted to persuade her again, she knew that the princess was worried about Aunt Liu's disappearance and would not just leave it alone. She had no choice but to listen to her and help her wash and dress, and even found a thicker coat for her to change into.

"Princess, may I go with you?" Jinse also wanted to do something. She had always felt sorry for Aunt Liu, but she couldn't help her much. The princess treated her well, so she should do something for her.

"Don't go when it's cold. Just stay at the palace. If mother comes again, there will be someone to entertain her at the palace."

Tang Mumu met Mo Yi on the street and learned that they already knew Liu's whereabouts. Tang Mumu felt relieved and followed him to see Rong Yan. After seeing her, Rong Yan just took a step towards her, but Tang Mumu ran over and hugged Rong Yan.

Rong Yan was startled by her action, then he smiled and looked down at her, "What's wrong? The people from Tianji Pavilion already know where your mother is. She is safe now, but they can't bring her back for the time being. But don't worry, Tianji Pavilion will keep her safe."

Tang Mumu nuzzled Rong Yan's chest, then raised her head and whispered, "Yes, I know my mother is in the ghost market."

Tang Mumu has always guessed that her mother's identity might not be as simple as it seems, and she has thought about asking her master for clarification, but she doesn't want her mother to be really related to her master, so she has never asked her master, thinking that as long as she doesn't say anything, her mother can always live a simple life.

Even though her mother was suppressed by Lin in the general's mansion, she would do her best in the future. Just like her master said, she would be able to protect her mother as long as she was there. She always believed that some things could be treated as if they had never happened as long as they were not spoken out.

Noticing that she was in a bad mood, Rong Yan also put his arm around her and asked gently, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Tang Mumu raised her eyes and looked at Rong Yan, "Did you also guess that mother, master, and Senior Ghost King knew each other in the past?"

Rong Yan let go of Tang Mumu, bent down slightly to look her in the eye, and said firmly, "Mumu, no matter what kind of story there is between them, she will only be your mother. I am here, and I will not let anything happen to her, don't worry."

Tang Mumu lowered her head, then nodded, her voice weary, "I think Master should have gone to the ghost market by now. Master treated me like his own son because of my mother, and he probably didn't want anything to happen to my mother."

"I'll go to the ghost market with you?"

"Don't go." Tang Mumu said without hesitation, "The All Saints' Day is coming soon, you'd better not meet Master. I'm afraid Master will do something to hurt you."

Rong Yan frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Then I'll let Fan Yan go with you. Although he is not allowed to talk, he is more reliable than Mo Yi in doing things."

Tang Mumu originally wanted to say that she didn't need anyone to accompany her, but when she thought that Rong Yan was also worried about her safety, she agreed to let Fan Yan go with her.

Tang Mumu reached out and hugged Rong Yan again, resting her head on his chest, "Your Highness, thank you."

Rong Yan curled his lips and hugged her back, "Don't be afraid, everything will be fine."

Ghost Market, Rebirth Pavilion, Su Zijin was just about to put out the candle and go to sleep when her expression suddenly changed. Her hands began to tremble uncontrollably, and her vision became blurred. The flickering candlelight flickered, and she used a lot of strength to barely suppress the torrent in her heart that seemed to be about to burst out.

She turned around slowly and saw that the person in front of her was indeed the person she had dreamed of seeing day and night.

At this moment, Su Zijin felt nothing but bitterness in his heart. As time passed, the overwhelming hatred in his heart had slowly faded away, and even the surging love he had felt in the past had slowly faded with time.

He came after all, but not for her.

After staring at each other for a long time, Su Zijin finally spoke first: "You're here? Long time no see."

The moment he opened his mouth, tears in his eyes rolled down uncontrollably. Su Zijin wiped them away with her fingertips, still smiling.

"I'm here. Long time no see." Jiang Moqing came alone. Seeing his old friend again, it seemed that the long-silent string in his heart was plucked. He thought he would feel more guilty when he saw Su Zijin again, but he never expected that he was more happy than guilty.

Hearing his voice, Su Zijin could no longer hold back, and quickly walked over and hugged him tightly, burying her head in his chest, letting her tears wet his lapel.

Jiang Moqing just stood there, letting her move. He closed his eyes for a long time before opening them. In the end, he raised his hands and wrapped them around her waist.
