Chapter 1155: Chapter 1155: Begging Young Nine to Save Zifeng’s Life

Mu Zifeng toyed with the ring in her hand, although there wasn’t much joy in her heart.

However, the fact that she could continue to keep in touch with her family even after moving into Chen Palace comforted her, as their family interests were preserved.

Now, she could only hope to live until the day she moves into Chen Palace.

She knew her own health well.

This body is becoming weaker, and attending today’s banquet and returning home will surely lead to another severe illness.

Mu Zifeng performed a courtly gesture to Yu Shuo, her voice gentle: "If Your Highness doesn’t have anything else, I will take my leave."

"Then... see you next time."

Yu Shuo’s tone was indifferent, his brow slightly furrowed, as if recalling unpleasant memories.

Mu Zifeng nodded at him, clutching the ring in her hand, as her brother supported her out of the banquet.

Up until now, after the announcement of the future Queen candidate, today’s banquet has finally come to an end.

The final choice of the Queen candidate surprisingly came from Mu Family, which was an unexpected result for everyone.

They thought Mu Family was the least likely, as they only had one daughter of marriageable age.

Yet, it is precisely this least likely candidate who ended up being chosen.

Most people from the banquet had left, and Gu Jin was also preparing to go home, escorted personally by Yu Shuo and Jiang Hanyi.

As she got into the car, Gu Jin suddenly asked Yu Shuo: "Why choose Mu Family’s daughter?"

Yu Shuo, wearing his Imperial Court uniform, stood outside the car with one hand in his pocket, casual yet dignified.

Upon hearing her question, his expression shifted slightly, his lips curling up slowly: "A girl who can attract the master’s attention can’t be that bad."

"..." Gu Jin was somewhat speechless.

The reason Yu Shuo chose Mu Zifeng turned out to have its own justification.

Remembering Mu Zifeng’s condition, she didn’t know what to say to Yu Shuo.

But, if Mu Zifeng could enter Chen Palace, it should also be considered a good result for Yu Shuo.

Provided that Mu Zifeng can survive until her wedding day.

The next day.

Just as Gu Jin finished breakfast, Linda came in to inform her that people from Mu Family had arrived.

The Mu Family Head, Mu Zifan and son both came to visit in person.

Gu Jin smiled lightly, thinking they had come quickly enough.

She wiped her hands with a napkin: "Let them in."

Linda left, and Gu Jin went to the living room, instructing Kasi to prepare tea for the guests.

When Mu Family father and son entered, they saw Gu Jin sitting on the sofa in the living room, watching them with a smiling face.

"Young Ninth Master."

The father and son greeted her and walked toward Gu Jin.

Gu Jin extended her hand, smiling as she said: "Please sit, both of you."

The Mu Family Head sat on the sofa beside, his face somewhat haggard, indicating he hadn’t rested well the night before.

He stared at Gu Jin, unsure of how to begin.

Gu Jin lowered her gaze, casually picking up a fruit from the platter on the table and eating it.

Mu Zifan sat next to the Mu Family Head, his expression serious.

"I wonder what Young Ninth Master’s remarks last night meant?"

Thinking of his daughter lying sick at home, the Mu Family Head finally spoke.

Gu Jin looked up, glancing at him indifferently.

"Miss Mu’s condition is due to her natural Spiritual Body; she won’t live past this year."

Upon hearing these words, the faces of the Mu Family father and son changed, their similar countenances filled with suppressed grief and sorrow.

What Gu Jin said couldn’t be refuted by them at all.

For the past two years, Zifeng’s health had been weakening, as if she were burning out the last flame of life.

They’ve used many rare and precious medicines, yet to no avail, only watching her grow weaker.

The Mu Family Head looked hopeful, his eyes imploring: "Please, Young Ninth Master, save Zifeng’s life; she’s still young."
