Ten days had passed in the blink of an eye since Xiao Mo returned to the Imperial City of Qin.
During this time, many court officials and heads of Noble Families sought to visit the Xiao Mansion and the Frost King's Mansion.
However, both Xiao Mo and Xiao Shi refused all visitors, not seeing a single person.
Xiao Mo would also often use his Jade Token to visit Qin Siyao and Empress Shi at the Imperial Palace.
Empress Shi's health grew worse with each passing day.
Although Qin Siyao brewed and fed her medicine every day, and Empress Shi also took all sorts of Elixirs, not even a divine panacea could help when one's fated time had come.
Still, Empress Shi dutifully drank her medicine every day and often walked with Qin Siyao in the courtyard.
Xiao Mo understood what Empress Shi was thinking.
The Empress knew the medicine was useless, but she also knew that the harder Siyao tried to heal her now, the less guilt her daughter would feel after she was gone.
