The Rebirth of the Deposed Empress

As the letter was finished reading, the paper in his hand was almost crumpled.

Ye Buhuo wrapped Hua Wuke's clenched hands in his palms and rubbed them gently, and the clenched hands suddenly loosened as if they had suddenly lost strength.

Ye Buhuo took out the letter and put it aside, and then Hua Wuke was embraced in a warm embrace.

The warmth from Ye Buhuo dispelled the coldness brought by the sad memories of his previous life. Hua Wuke felt that at this moment he was like a pistil wrapped in petals, warm and comfortable.

She couldn't help but press herself against Ye Buhuo's chest, listening to the heartbeat in her ears, and said slowly in a calm tone:

"Lu Wuming has been eliminated, and there are no more traitors in the Hua family army."

Ye Buhuo knew that Hua Wuke said this to him, and he also understood what made Hua Wuke so uneasy.

"Don't worry Sui Sui, General Hua and your father and brother are all safe."

After dealing with Lu Wuming and Li Sen, Beimo Pass finally ushered in a relaxed atmosphere.

On this day, Ye Buhuo was taking a day off, and he and Hua Wuke were fiddling with a three-petal plum tree in the yard.

This three-petal plum cannot survive in cold places, but one day Duan Rui found a book about flowers and plants somewhere, and the book mentioned this three-petal plum. Duan Rui pestered Hua Wu Ke and asked her if she could grow this kind of flower.

It was just a coincidence that a merchant from Beimo Pass came back from the south and brought back such a three-petal plum. The merchant knew that this thing probably would not survive in Beimo Pass, and seeing that Hua Wu Ke was interested in buying it, he sold it to her at a low price.

The servants of the City Lord's Mansion found a medium-sized square flowerpot, dug some soil from the yard, and planted the three-petal plum blossom in it.

After several days of careful care, the three-petal plum has grown many new leaves.

At this moment, Hua Wu Ke was holding a book on how to grow flowers and plants, and was instructing Ye Buhuo to prune the branches and leaves.

Hua Wu Ke murmured softly while flipping through the book:

"Prune the buds off the bends... the bends..."

After inspecting the area, Hua Wu Ke pointed to a cluster of fresh green leaves and said:

"It should be this, reduced."

Ye Buhuo glanced at Xinlv, hummed, and then naturally changed his position, just in time to look at Xinlv through Hua Wuke.

Seeing that his vision was blocked, Hua Wu Ke moved his steps and looked at the book to find the next place that needed trimming.

Ye Buhuo took this opportunity to cut off an old branch growing horizontally next to the new green.

Without the old branches confusing the view, one can tell at a glance that the new green is the main branch.

……

With Hua Wu Ke's 'Sound of Movement' and Ye Bu Huo's 'Strike the West', the three-petal plum blossom is becoming more and more presentable.

Duan Rui also finished handling the affairs of Beimoguan under the guidance of Hua Zhukong. He ran to the courtyard impatiently and saw the three-petal plum blossoms that looked like they were newly born. He asked in surprise:

"Sister, sister, can it really bloom flowers like triangular lanterns?"

Hua Wu Ke nodded:

"of course can."

"But this year's flowering period has passed, and we have to wait until next year for it to bloom again."

When Qingzhu brought over the tea and snacks, Hua Wuke was still telling Duan Rui that the three-petal plum blossom came in many colors. Duan Rui was looking forward to seeing it bloom more and more.

The three of them moved to the pavilion and while taking a rest they told Duan Rui about the different cultural landscapes of the South and North Moguan.

Although Hua Wuke is a lady of aristocratic family and has a lot of experience, she has lived in the capital for a long time after all, and is not as knowledgeable as Ye Buhuo, the god of war who has fought everywhere.

In the end, Hua Wu Ke and Duan Rui listened to Ye Bu Huo describing the rare and exotic sights he had seen in the past.

Listening to Ye Buhuo describing places she had never been to, Hua Wuke felt a little eager to go there.

It would be a wonderful thing if one day I could roam the world with Ye Buhuo!

At this moment, Yoruichi suddenly appeared.

"My Lord, Third Miss, Song Ping and Old Madam Song want to see you for something."

When going to Yuecheng before, Qingzhu stayed with Old Madam Song for a few days to take care of her. During that time, he also accompanied Old Madam Song back to the old house of the deceased Song family.

After receiving the message from Hua Wu Ke saying that the rebel had been eliminated and Madam Song would no longer be in danger, Qing Zhu returned to Beimo Pass.

Old Madam Song kept saying that she missed her son, so she came along and has been staying at Song Ping's place for the past few days.

Because of the arrival of Old Madam Song, Ye Buhuo also gave Song Ping a vacation so that he could temporarily put aside the work of refining weapons and spend more time with his mother.

Today, the two of them came to the City Lord's Mansion, but no one knew what they were doing.

Ye Buhuo said: "Please ask them to come to the front hall."

The front hall is in the front yard, close to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, so when Hua Wu Ke and Ye Bu Huo arrived at the front hall, Song Ping and Old Madam Song were already waiting there.

When the mother and son saw Ye Buhuo and the others coming in, they hurriedly stood up and bowed respectfully.

Ye Buhuo raised his hand slightly: "No need to be polite."

After everyone was seated, Hua Wu Ke was the first to speak:

"Is everything okay, Madam Song?"

Madam Song nodded: "Thank you for your concern, Miss Third. I am doing well."

Hearing this, Hua Wu Ke's face also showed some relief:

"That's good."

"I shouldn't have frightened the old lady because of what happened in the army."

Old Madam Song waved her hand quickly: "Miss Third, you are too serious. With Qingzhu here, I am not affected at all."

After the two exchanged a few more pleasantries, Old Madam Song nudged Song Ping beside her.

Song Ping took out an ordinary cloth package from his arms.

"Your Highness, Song Ping and his mother came here this time to present something to Your Highness."

Ye Yi quickly presented the cloth bag to Ye Buhuo.

This cloth bag looks a bit like a cylinder, but it is not very heavy, so it is impossible to tell what is inside.

Ye Buhuo took the package, opened it, and found a parchment scroll inside.

Looking at the parchment scroll, Hua Wu Ke was curious about what it was used for. She moved closer to Ye Buhuo, her elbow almost touching him.

Seeing Hua Wu Ke was so curious, Ye Buhuo placed the parchment scroll on the coffee table between them and then spread it out.

At first, only some fine lines could be seen, as if outlining mountains and rivers. As the parchment scroll was spread out further and further, the pattern inside became clearer.

They look like mountain ranges, and next to these mountains there are some obscure and difficult to understand words.

"There is ochre on the mountain...what does this mean?"

Hua Wu Ke saw this nonsensical sentence and asked in confusion.

“Ochre usually appears in mountains that contain iron ore.”

Ye Buhuo had seen this in some miscellaneous books, so he guessed that it meant that there was iron ore hidden in the mountain.

Hua Wu Ke's eyes widened slightly, and he looked at Song Ping and his mother with some disbelief.

"So the Song family really has 'Kanshanlu'?"

Madam Song nodded:

"The Song family has this thing, but because the imperial court forbids private mining, this thing has not been taken out for nearly a hundred years."
