Liuzhu and Liuli Yuanchun, upon hearing this, were so frightened their souls flew away and scattered, trembling as they looked at their master.
Fei'er was also terrified, but she had no strength to confront the Empress Dowager Mo. She had no choice but to cast a pleading look toward Mo Ziqi.
In front of everyone, Mo Ziqi couldn't say anything to her. Especially now that Empress Dowager Mo had completely lost her reason. If he tried to comfort Fei'er, it would only provoke her further. So, he merely gave her a deep look—a look Fei'er understood. It told her, "Rest assured."
Fei'er's heart settled slightly, but not completely. After all, Empress Dowager Mo was the reigning Empress Dowager, and Mo Ziqi was the Great General. Regardless of their aunt-nephew relationship, they were still sovereign and subject. If Empress Dowager Mo insisted on interrogating Liuzhu and the others, Mo Ziqi wouldn't be able to stop her.
