Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Luo Huamei felt that Liu Sanniang was very scary. In front of Liu Sanniang, she felt like she was naked and completely powerless.
Now, she only wanted to see Xia Hongyuan first. She just wanted to know if her son was still fine.
Liu Sanniang looked at Luo Huamei and nodded. “The First Prince is waiting for you. Get ready. We’ll enter the palace later.”
Luo Huamei drank her tea while Liu Sanniang stood up and left.
Soon, Luo Huamei heard voices outside.
Hu Yu returned with a worm jar and said to Liu Yuanyuan, “Liu Yuanyuan, come and help me apply the medicine. It hurts.”
Hu Yu turned into a silver fox and lay on the ground. She had lost a lot of hair and was covered in wounds.
Liu Yuanyuan took out a fat worm from the jar. The worm turned into sticky ointment after being exposed to the sun. Liu Yuanyuan applied it on Hu Yu expressionlessly.
Hu Yu screamed in pain, “Liu Yuanyuan, it hurts. Can’t you be gentler?”
After Hu Yu screamed, she shouted with tears in her eyes, “Venerable Liu, I’m injured. 1 want to eat chicken soup to nourish my body…”
After Liu Yuanyuan applied the ointment on Hu Yu, she went to wash her hands coldly.
Hu Yu said, “It’s much better. Young Marquis is really a little genius.”
Hu Yu was like this. She had a glib tongue and would not hesitate to praise people. Su Yanyu was a little talented in refining worms, but these worms cost a lot of herbs. Su Yanyu’s heart was probably bleeding.
After applying the ointment, Hu Yu lay in the courtyard to rest.
Liu Yuanyuan left for the Marquis Mansion through the back door.
Su Yanyu was about to go out and visit Liu Sanniang when he saw that Liu Yuanyuan was in his courtyard with a cold expression.
Su Yanyu immediately stuttered, “Miss Yuanyuan, I-I was about to see my shifu. Why are you here?”
In front of Liu Yuanyuan, he always felt a little uneasy.
Liu Yuanyuan threw a cloth bag to Su Yanyu. Su Yanyu caught it and said, “What is this?”
Liu Yuanyuan said calmly, “You can use it. If you don’t want to give it to Hu Yu, you don’t have to.”
Su Yanyu was uneasy. “Miss Hu is domineering. If I don’t give it to her, she… she will hit me…”
Liu Yuanyuan looked at Su Yanyu. “Foxes are like that by nature. Next time she bullies you, come to look for me.”
Su Yanyu’s mind was blank as he nodded subconsciously. “Okay, okay.”
Liu Yuanyuan turned around and left.
It took Su Yanyu a while to come back to his senses and he was secretly delighted.
He opened the small bag. Inside were some precious herbs that had already been processed.
Liu Yuanyuan usually had a cold expression on her face. Su Yanyu didn’t expect her to actually be so considerate.
Liu Yuanyuan returned as if nothing had happened. It was time for lunch.
Liu Sanniang glanced at Liu Yuanyuan and said, “Go and get Her Majesty to come over for lunch.”
Liu Yuanyuan went to call Luo Huamei. Seeing that Luo Huamei was still sitting in the main hall, deep in thought, Liu Yuanyuan said coldly, “It’s time to eat.”
After shouting, Liu Yuanyuan turned around and left. She was not interested in what was on Luo Huamei’s mind at all.
Luo Huamei came back to her senses and went to eat lunch.
Four dishes and a soup were prepared, looking very sumptuous.
Luo Huamei sat down and took the chopsticks from Liu Yuanyuan. “Thank you.”
During the meal, no one spoke. Luo Huamei felt that Liu Sanniang’s culinary skills were better than the imperial chef’s.
After lunch, Luo Huamei suddenly remembered that her heart had stopped hurting at some point. She looked at Liu Sanniang. This should be done by Liu Sanniang.
Luo Huamei stood up and said, “Miss Liu, give me some time to clean myself up and get changed. Then, we’ll go to see Hongyuan.”
She had been wandering in the world for more than ten years and looked nothing like an empress of a country. However, in front of people who cared about the most, she still wanted to show her best side.
Liu Sanniang nodded. “Sure.”
Looking at Liu Sanniang’s calm expression, Luo Huamei knew that Liu Sanniang was not worried that she would run away at all.
Luo Huamei did not want to run anymore. She had no choice.
After returning to the next room, Luo Huamei began to wash up. Hu Yu and Liu Yuanyuan were waiting outside the courtyard.
It was not that they were afraid that Luo Huamei would run away, but they were afraid that some people would come to snatch her away.
Luo Huamei dressed up carefully. Her hair was tied up into a bun and there was only a wooden hairpin as an accessory.
She was old, and her face was filled with the marks of time. Luo Huamei looked at Liu Sanniang and said softly, “Miss Liu, I’m ready.”
Liu Sanniang said calmly, “Let’s go.”
Luo Huamei nodded and got into the carriage.
When they got into the carriage, Luo Huamei heard the sound of the wheels rolling and couldn’t help but say, “I’ve thought of this scene countless times where I will return to the palace and be the empress again.”
“I also thought that His Majesty would notice that something was wrong with that imposter and come to look for me.”
Luo Huamei’s eyes darkened. They had been married for many years, but Xia Bingguang did not notice it at all. He did not know that the person beside him had long been swapped.
It would be a lie to say that she was not disappointed. The earliest days were the most difficult. At that time, she still had hope. However, after that period of time passed, all her hope was dashed. The only ones she cared about were her children.
Her children were more important than anything else, but Xia Qiluo was no longer her daughter. The only one left was her son, Xia Hongyuan.
Now, the mother and son were finally going to reunite.
The wheels rolled on until the carriage stopped outside the majestic palace..
