"Sister!" Mo Xifeng rushed inside the ward where Mo Qiang was admitted; behind her was the empress but she wasn't allowed to enter the ward by Wen Gui, who smiled and said, "I dare not disturb you, your majesty. The last thing I need is for you to think that my daughter is wasting your time and decide to kill her. So you can go back."
Wen Gui might be a mer with no official position; he would even go against the heavens for his daughter. Fu Zhao was still human. So what if she was the empress? No one was allowed to harm his daughter. How dare she think of killing Mo Qiang?
Mo Qiang was his only daughter and she had done some great things for the imperial star. How could he not be upset when he thought about how close he came to losing his daughter?
With a polite yet distant smile, he closed the door of the ward and didn't let Fu Zhao inside.
