Shen Ningning's eyes welled with tears as she looked toward Consort Rong. After hearing what was just said, she felt an extraordinary sense of warmth and familiarity toward the consort.
Mo Lingwei took her little hand. "Don't be anxious. I heard from my father, the Emperor, that Chancellor Xie is also rushing back to the Capital City today. You'll probably be able to see him at the banquet later."
"Besides, it seems his trip to Shu State was also to search for his daughter. I only just learned this from my father myself. Years ago, Chancellor Xie's youngest daughter was stolen shortly after her birth, and her whereabouts have been unknown ever since."
"The incident took a great toll on his health, which is why he hasn't been very involved in the affairs of the Imperial Court these past years. My father understands and knows that he has never given up searching for his biological daughter."
