Chapter 97: Land of Hope, Xia Yanni's Request_2

"Mm..." Liu Muxue responded softly.

Just as the two were about to embrace each other and sleep, there came a series of knocks at the door of the Lord's Hut.

"Knock! Knock knock!"

The knocking was somewhat urgent. Cao Xing asked in confusion, "Who is it?"

It was the middle of the night, the coldest time of the day.

And the only ones who could be knocking at this hour were his subjects.

A gentle voice came from outside, "My...lord...it's Yanni..."

"I'm very sorry to disturb you at such a late hour..."

Cao Xing and Liu Muxue exchanged a glance, then asked, "It's alright, is something the matter?"

Xia Yanni hurriedly said, "My lord...it's Chuchu...Chuchu seems to have a high fever, and she fainted half an hour ago."

"I've tried many methods, but Chuchu's fever won't go down."

"I... I really have no other choice... I can only come to ask for your help..."

By the end of her speech, Xia Yanni's tone had turned to tears.

It was evident that she was truly anxious.
