Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyoe Translations
Lu Zhen told Consort De bluntly that he was cold to her because he had hatred in his heart. He thought that he was abandoned, so even after they reunited, there was still a barrier between him and Consort De.
He could set aside the prejudice in his heart, but he could never be too enthusiastic.
He had already grown up and his personality had taken shape. He hoped that Consort De could understand this.
Consort De nodded.
After the new emperor ascended the throne, she would choose to leave the palace and live with her child. This way, she could slowly make up for rhe lost years.
Seeing that Consort De had agreed, Lu Zhen looked at her and said gently, “It’s been hard on you all these years.”
Consort De shook her head. “As long as you are safe, everything is worth it.”
If she was more capable, she would not have sent him out of the palace to save his life. She would rather suffer herself than letting him suffer.
Lu Zhen was a little moved. He stood up. ‘Mother, it s rare for you to leave the palace. Stay for dinner.”
Consort De wiped her tears. “Okay.”
The three of them came out together. Liu Sanniang bade farewell and went home. Su Qiong asked her to stay, but Liu Sanniang shook her head and rejected.
Lu Qingqing looked at Consort De and went over to hold her arm. “Mother, what do you like to eat?”
Lu Zhen stood beside Lu Qingqing. Su Qiong held Consort De’s other arm and said, “Zhen likes beef brisket stew. 1 wonder if you like it.”
Consort De nodded. “I like it.”
The family chatted and laughed as they went to the main hall. This was what Consort De wanted. She wanted to integrate into Lu Zhen’s life and not be a stranger..
Liu Sanniang had just entered the mansion when she was stopped by Madam Li.
Madam Li stopped Liu Sanniang and knelt down with a thud. She lowered her head and begged, “Sanniang, please help me.”
Madam Li had no choice bur to beg Liu Sanniang.
T he child called Chu Chun was the result of her eating the forbidden fruit. She could not acknowledge him, but she hoped that he could live well.
She was afraid that Mr. Chu would find out about it, so she waited for a long time before making up her mind to ask Liu Sanniang for help. There were not many people in rhe mansion. If Liu Sanniang helped, no one would know.
Liu Sanniang looked at Madam Li and said calmly, “Auntie Li, what’s wrong?”
Madam Li lowered her head and said, “My family has a relative who was arrested by the Jin Dynasty some time ago. They threatened me to help them. 1 didn’t agree, so they used my relative to threaten me. Later, the two fake princesses were executed, and my relative was also seriously beaten up. He said he’s suffering from a headache everyday. 1 asked many doctors but couldn’t find the reason…”
When the Yan Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty were about to leave the capital, she wandered around the inn where they stayed. She saw the Jin Dynasty envoys carrying a sack out of the inn. Madam Li followed them all the way. When there was no one around, the two envoys threw down the sack and left. She walked over to check and opened the sack, inside was Chu Chun who was unconscious.
Madam Li found a place for Chu Chun to stay. Chu Chun kept saying that he had a headache and wanted to bang his head against the wall. Madam Li’s heart ached. She looked for doctors and psychics, but it was useless.
Unless she had no choice, she really did not want to look for Liu Sanniang.
Madam Li was very afraid that Liu Sanniang would not agree, so she knelt down. “Sanniang, please.”
Liu Sanniang could only see greed in Madam Li. She was greedy for power and wealth and wanted a lot. She was like a huge beast, not satisfied no matter how much she was fed.
However, as a mother, her heart was soft.
Liu Sanniang said, “Then let’s go.”
Madam Li looked up in a daze, thinking that she had heard wrongly.
Liu Sanniang reached out to help her up. “Let’s go.”
Madam Li was overjoyed. She was sure that she did not hear wrongly but was still a little suspicious. However, for the sake of Chu Chun’s life, she quickly brought Liu Sanniang out of the mansion.
Liu Sanniang followed her, not in a hurry at all, but Madam Li was anxious. She did not understand why Liu Sanniang agreed so easily.
Not long after, they arrived at a small courtyard. It was very quiet.
Madam Li took out the key and opened the door. After Liu Sanniang entered, she closed the door.
T here were only two rooms in the small courtyard. After Madam Li opened one of the doors and entered, she could hear a faint whimper.
Madam Li went to light the candle so that she could see clearly in the dark room.
Madam Li was sweating profusely. She did not dare to look into Liu Sanniang s eyes. She said, “Sanniang, see what illness he is suffering from. Can he still be cured?”
Chu Chun was tied up by Madam Li and had a cloth stuffed in his mouth so that he couldn’t shout and bang his head against the wall. When he saw Madam Li, he struggled with all his might, as if he wanted to break free.
Madam Li’s heart ached when she saw him like this. Afraid that Liu Sanniang would see through her, she only stood at the side and comforted him. “Child, don’t be afraid. I found a doctor for you. She will definitely cure you.”
Liu Sanniang walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed. Madam Li grabbed her hands and looked at Liu Sanniang nervously. She gritted her teeth and said, “Sanniang, if you can save him, 1-1’m willing to pay a hundred taels.”
One hundred taels was not a small amount. This was already her limit.
Liu Sanniang looked at Madam Li. “Auntie Li, are you really willing to save him?”
Madam Li thought that Liu Sanniang wanted a hundred taels. Her heart was bleeding, but she still nodded. ’Yes.”
Madam Li looked at Chu Chun, who had a pained expression, and said, “Sanniang, save him if you can. When he recovers, Ill definitely give you the money. 1 won t go back on my word.”
Liu Sanniang looked at Chu Chun and reached out to take the cloth from his mouth. Madam Li was so frightened that she quickly went to stop it. However, strangely, after the cloth was removed, Chu Chun did not scream crazily. Instead, he was quiet.
Madam Li heaved a sigh of relief. “It seems that with you around, this illness can be cured. Then I’m relieved.”
Before Liu Sanniang needed to do anything, Chu Chun was already calmed by her. This was something other doctors could not do. The fact that Liu Sanniang could do it meant that she was capable..
