“Sister, actually, you don’t need to dye it.”
Lin Yixuan smiled at his sister through the dressing mirror: “I’m used to seeing white hair, and it looks good too.”
“The Prime Minister has a sinister mind. Since he can’t find your father, he might harm you.”
Lin Qingluo forced a smile, suppressing her heartache: “Be careful in the mansion these days and try not to show yourself in front of others.”
“Mm.”
Lin Yixuan’s eyes dimmed, and he hummed lightly through his nose.
“Be good, let’s wash your hair first.”
Lin Qingluo’s eyes were gentle as she lovingly rubbed his head.

“Caw caw.”
Hunao let out two weak cries, nudged the door open with his small head, and quickly slipped in.
He had been frightened by the earthquake too. Sensing that his master had returned, he immediately scurried back, rubbing against her ankle, acting cute to seek comfort.
“Hunao, you must have been terrified. Are you hurt?” 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Lin Qingluo instantly understood Hunao’s thoughts, bent down to pick him up, and gently stroked his fur.
“Caw caw.”
Hunao nuzzled his fluffy head against her chest, crying weakly non-stop.
“Is everyone at home okay?”
Lin Qingluo, worried about her family, felt a burst of concern.
“Caw caw.”
Hunao understood and nodded his small head seriously.
“That’s good.”
Lin Qingluo quietly breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes gentle.

“Master, the Empress is not in good condition. The Imperial Physician’s acupuncture is ineffective, and she has not woken up. The Prime Minister has ordered the news to be blocked, and no one is allowed to visit.”
Little Kingfisher and Baoya were watching the drama in the Imperial Palace. The bird and leopard were surprisingly not frightened and enjoyed the show from beginning to end.
“The Prime Minister’s actions are tantamount to a rebellion. She wants to imprison the Empress and seize control of the court.”
Lin Qingluo felt disheartened upon hearing the telepathic message. Subconsciously, she glanced at Lin Yixuan, who was drying his hair.
“The Security Battalion is going house to house searching for the Noble Lord, and they have almost reached the Duke of Zhen’s mansion.”
With the Empress still unconscious, Little Kingfisher was dispirited, flying out of the Imperial Palace and hovering above Capital City, watching the actions of the officials with amusement.
“Are they really doing a house-by-house search?”
Lin Qingluo’s eyebrows furrowed lightly: “Did they search the other ministers’ homes as well?”
“Except for the Prime Minister’s Mansion and the residence of the Third Imperial Princess, they didn’t miss a single civil or military official.”
Little Kingfisher sneered: “Even those who pretend to be the Prime Minister’s party and collude with him were searched.”
Lin Qingluo couldn’t believe it: “Did they allow soldiers to search the inner courtyards where the women reside as well?”
Little Kingfisher looked contemptuous: “The Security Battalion used the name of the Crown Princess and had the fierce Imperial Guards behind them. Those officials turned pale, not daring to even let out a fart.”
Lin Qingluo frowned: “How much longer before they reach the Duke of Zhen’s mansion?”
“They’re about to turn into the alley.”
Like a streak of lightning, Little Kingfisher flew down from the sky and perched on the eaves opposite the main gate of the Duke of Zhen’s mansion.
“They’re coming so fast.”
Lin Qingluo’s eyes darkened, a chilling and oppressive aura suddenly surging forth.
“Sister.”
Noticing the change, Lin Yixuan looked up at her with concern.
“The Imperial Guards and the Security Battalion are here.”
Lin Qingluo spoke without concealing anything, exuding an irresistibly persuasive air: “You don’t need to worry, no one can hurt you as long as I’m here.”
“Mm.”
Lin Yixuan had always trusted his sister, and a warm current surged in his heart.
“Roar.”
Baoya also returned to Fluttering Snow Residence at this moment, just as the Imperial Guards and the Security Battalion slipped into the side room.
