The Rebirth of the Deposed Empress

"Mr. Ye, are you willing to play a game of chess with me?"

Ye Buhuo instantly restrained his outward emotions, turned back into the profound god of war, and replied, "Of course."

While the two were playing chess, Hua Wu Ke was watching from the side.

He could barely understand it at first, but after reading further on, Hua Wu Ke felt that his brain was almost unable to process it.

She silently picked up the teapot, poured herself some water, and then drank the tea seriously.

As long as I don't look at it, no one will know that I don't understand it.

The water in the teapot had been changed once, and Hua Wu Ke felt that he was about to become like a teapot. The two of them finally made their last move.

Hua Wu Ke took a quick look and found that Ye Buhuo had the upper hand.

Although he had lost, Abbot Yuantong showed a relieved smile:

"Amitabha, the last time Donor Ye came, he seemed a little annoyed and impatient. In just a few months, Donor Ye's mood has changed so much.

Now his chess moves are sharp and steady, and I am no match for him."

The last time I came was when Sui Sui had just returned to Beijing and asked me to cancel the engagement. Now...

Ye Buhuo glanced at Hua Wuke, curled the corners of his mouth, and did not answer.

Hua Wu Ke and the other person stayed and had lunch with Abbot Yuantong. After lunch, the two said goodbye to Abbot Yuantong.

On the return journey in the carriage, Ye Buhuo opened the box, and found a key inside.

"what is this?"

"My mother left me a box that I have never been able to open. This key should be used to open that box."

After hearing what Abbot Yuantong said during the game between him and Ye Buhuo, Hua Wuke was somewhat confused as Ye Buhuo had just been to Hanshan Temple a few months ago.

"Why did Abbot Yuantong give it to you today?"

Ye Buhuo raised the corner of his mouth, looked into her eyes and replied: "My mother said that she would give it to me only after I found her a future daughter-in-law."

Now thinking about that shameless remark made by his future daughter-in-law, Hua Wu Ke felt a little embarrassed.

She drew aside the curtain of the little window, and by looking out at the scene she escaped from the warmth in the carriage which made her feel exposed.

Because there is a blessing ceremony on the mountain today. Although ordinary people cannot participate in this blessing ceremony, it has attracted many people to go to the streets to buy some things for blessing in the hope of getting some good luck.

The streets were bustling with people performing juggling, selling snacks, and selling blessing lanterns...

The street market was even busier than usual, which dazzled Hua Wu Ke.

"Mother Qian, mother, Kuoer wants candied haws!"

The carriage happened to pass by a spoiled little child, and the child's voice attracted Hua Wu Ke's attention.

She turned her head and saw a chubby little child asking his mother for candied haws.

The child looked familiar, but Hua Wu Ke couldn't remember where he had seen him.

Hua Wu Ke stretched his neck, wanting to see what his mother looked like.

As a result, due to the line of sight, Hua Wu Ke could only see the woman's light blue dress but not her face.

Just when Hua Wu Ke was about to give up, a passerby walked by and accidentally bumped into the child.

The child lost his balance and fell to the ground, crying out. The woman quickly bent down and helped him up.

When she bent down, Hua Wu Ke saw her face clearly.

Ying Yuer? How could it be her? That child...

Wasn’t this the son that Hua Jingqian later brought back home and said was his old friend? No wonder he looked so familiar!

Hua Jingqian said that the child was the son of a friend, and that his friend had passed away, so the child had no relatives, so he was adopted.

Later, he brought back Ying Yuer, saying that she was his savior who saved him when he was in trouble while working outside, and he married her as his concubine.

Ying Yu'er had no children, so the child was raised under her name.

Logically speaking, these two people should not have known each other before entering the mansion, so how did they suddenly become a mother and son?

Hua Wu Ke became more and more confused the more she thought about it. Seeing that the mother and son were about to disappear from her sight, she could not care less and said:

"Qingzhu, I feel like that child looks very familiar. Send someone to follow him and see whose child he is."

"Yes."

Hua Wu Ke was no longer in the mood to look out the window, so he lowered the curtain and sat up straight.

"Has Suisui seen that child?" Ye Buhuo asked.

These were all people he had met in his previous life, and Hua Wu Ke didn't know how to explain them to him.

But the two of them had agreed not to hide anything from each other, and she didn't want to lie to him, so she could only say:

"There are some things... I don't know how to tell you now. I'll tell you slowly later, okay?"

Hua Wu Ke thought Ye Buhuo would be dissatisfied with his words, but he didn't expect that Ye Buhuo not only accepted it happily but also smiled.

Hua Wu Ke was puzzled by this smile, so she asked:

"I kept it from you, but you're not angry?"

Ye Buhuo asked back:

"Sui Sui did not hide the fact from me when investigating this person, nor did he make excuses to me. Instead, he frankly said that there were some things that were inconvenient for him to tell me right now. Isn't this trust in me?

Why should I be angry?

Ye Buhuo did not send Hua Wuke back to the general's mansion, but took her back to the palace.

After the two returned to the palace, Ye Buhuo found the box that Ye Qingge left for him in the study.

When he opened the box with the key, he found a piece of jade fragment inside.

Ye Buhuo picked up the jade fragment, placed it in the palm of his hand, and looked at it carefully.

There seemed to be some pattern on the fragment, but because it was just a fragment, it was impossible to tell what the complete pattern was.

"Why did the Queen leave this piece for you?" Hua Wu Ke asked.

Before his death, Ye Qingge handed the box to Ye Buhuo without telling him what was inside.

So Ye Buhuo was not sure what the use of this fragment was.

"Maybe this is just a part, and we need to find the rest to make it a complete piece."

Ye Buhuo guessed.

"Where can I find the other parts?"

Ye Buhuo shook his head, he didn't know either.

No longer dwelling on this unanswered question, Hua Wu Ke returned to the general's mansion after having dinner at the prince's mansion.

At this time, Hua Jingqian and Sun Ruhui were still in the old lady's room.

"Qian'er, now that Yue'er is gone, we only have one concubine daughter in our second house, which is really inappropriate, so I discussed with Ruhui and decided to give you a concubine."

After receiving the message from the old lady's words, Sun Ruhui winked at Luluo behind her.

Luoluo suppressed her inner joy, walked quickly forward, blushed slightly, and bowed to Hua Jingqian.

He pinched his throat and called out, "Second Master."

Who would have thought that Hua Jingqian didn't even look at her, but instead held Sun Ruhui's hand and said:

"Yue'er just left, and you gave me your personal maid. How can I feel at ease with you?"

Hearing these high-sounding words, Sun Ruhui couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.

She suppressed her nausea and replied in a general way, "Second Master's offspring is the most important thing."

I didn't expect that after Hua Fuyue left, Sun Ruhui turned out to be much more sensible than before.

Hua Jingqian smiled gently, stroked Sun Ruhui's hand, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Madam."
