But after setting out to sea, everything changed.
First, Duanmu Tianxu perished in an untimely death, and then Duanmu Yuansu also collapsed.
It was as if the sky had fallen!
Now, with Ji Yuanwu in seclusion and not emerging, major and minor matters were all decided by the Empress.
The predicament of Duanmu Yingxue suddenly became extremely dangerous, like walking on thin ice.
Fang Zhixing's gaze flickered slightly as he mused, "What problem can the Noble Concubine solve by finding me?"
Duanmu Yingxue clenched her silver teeth, bent her knees, and knelt down, her voice trembling as she said, "I beseech Fellow Daoist Fang to protect my father until the Emperor emerges from seclusion."
Fang Zhixing chuckled and said, "If I get involved, I'm afraid the Empress will be very displeased."
Duanmu Yingxue continued, "You have a non-aggression pact with the Emperor; the Empress can't do anything to you."
