The Rebirth of the Deposed Empress

Hua Wu Ke stood behind Hua Wu Jing, holding his arms with both hands.

It turns out that my brother loves me the most.

Fortunately, my brother had been living well at the border in his previous life.

"That's right, my granddaughter wants to come to the border to celebrate the New Year, what's wrong with that?"

Hua Zhukong stood on Hua Wujing's side.

Seeing the old and the young both protecting Hua Wu Ke, Hua Rongyu had no choice but to speak:

"This border is so dangerous, how could Sui Sui come to such a place?"

Hua Rongyu always felt that her precious daughter should stay in the general's mansion and be protected by it for the rest of her life.

But Hua Zhukong didn't think so.

Hua Zhukong knew that the emperor would take action against the Hua family army sooner or later, and Hua Wuke should see more of the outside world and be more capable of protecting himself.

That's why Hua Zhukong ignored Hua Rongyu's objection and let her join the Hua Family Army to learn martial arts at such a young age.

"The children of my Hua family should soar between heaven and earth. There is no place they cannot go."

Before Hua Rongyu could refute her father.

Hua Wu Ke walked out from behind Hua Wu Jing, came to his father, and said seriously:

"Father, I know you want to protect me, but my daughter has grown up, and she also wants to stand with the Hua family."

"Instead of hiding behind you forever."

Hua Zhukong was very satisfied with these words.

"This is the descendant of my Hua family!"

Hua Rongyu couldn't find any words to refute.

After all, I really want to protect my daughter, but protection is not confinement.

If Hua Wu Ke really wants to fly out of the General's Mansion, as a father, he should support her.

"Then you must practice martial arts well from today on, and you must not be lazy."

I knew my father was not an unreasonable person.

Hua Wu Ke smiled and nodded: "Yes!"

After not seeing each other for several months, Hua Wu Ke was surrounded by her grandfather, father, and brother, who asked her all kinds of questions, fearing that she was not happy in the capital and had come to the border.

Only after receiving Hua Wu Ke's negative answers again and again did he feel relieved.

Then he asked her if she encountered any danger on the way here.

Fortunately, although the journey was a bit tiring, with the 50,000-strong Black Iron Army, no one dared to come up and cause trouble.

That night, Hua Zhukong hosted a welcoming ceremony for Ye Buhuo and Hua Wuke.

By the way, let Hua Wu Ke meet Duan Rui, the son of the previous city lord.

"Sui Sui, this is the Young Lord of Beimo Pass."

In front of me is a child about eight or nine years old.

But perhaps it was because his parents died early and he took on the responsibility of guarding Beimo Pass early, so he has a calm demeanor and does not have the innocence of an ordinary child.

"Young City Lord Duan."

Hua Wu Ke nodded to Duan Rui.

Duan Rui is just a child after all. He appears calm on the surface, but is actually a little shy.

Seeing Hua Wu Ke calling him Young City Lord so solemnly, he smiled embarrassedly.

"Grandpa Hua is my master now, so you can just call me Rui'er like the master did."

He saw that Duan Rui looked at him with clear eyes that contained only a shy smile, and there was no other dissatisfaction in his expression when he mentioned his grandfather.

It seems that grandfather gets along well with this child.

Hua Wu Ke smiled and nodded, then called out, "Rui Er."

Hua Zhukong knew that Hua Wu Ke must be extremely tired after the journey, so after dinner, there was no further chatting and she asked someone to take her and Ye Buhuo to the arranged rooms.

Let the two people who have been traveling for twenty days have a good rest.

"Sui Sui, I'll take you to your room."

Hua Wujing hasn't seen the sister he loved since childhood for a long time.

After waving away the servant who approached him, Hua Wujing personally escorted his sister back to her room.

Although Hua Wuke and Ye Buhuo have already made an engagement, Hua Wujing doesn't want Hua Wuke to be so close to Ye Buhuo.

The two of them haven't gotten married yet, so they should keep their distance.

So when Hua Zhukong asked the housekeeper to arrange rooms for the two of them, Hua Wujing instructed the housekeeper to arrange for them to stay farther away.

Hua Wu Ke, his father and brother lived in the east wing, and Ye Bu Huo lived in the west wing.

Out of the corner of his eye he saw Ye Buhuo following him, so Hua Wujing turned around and saluted Ye Buhuo.

"Your Highness, your room is not in this direction."

The servant of the City Lord's Mansion was very perceptive and immediately stepped forward to lead Ye Buhuo to the west.

Before leaving, Ye Buhuo looked at Hua Wuke. Hua Wuke smiled at him and Ye Buhuo returned his gentle smile.

Then the two of them went back to their rooms.

"Grandfather, I greet you every year."

Early the next morning, Hua Wu Ke came to Hua Zhukong's room.

The grandparents chatted for a while, and then Ye Buhuo also came.

Because of the arrival of Hua Wuke and Ye Buhuo, Hua Rongyu and Hua Wujing, father and son, took a day off.

So early in the morning, everyone gathered in Hua Zhukong's room.

Everyone chatted idly and finished their breakfast.

After the servants took away the unfinished food, Hua Wu Ke and Ye Bu Huo looked at each other.

Hua Wu Ke said after careful consideration:

"Grandfather, I came here to bring you a message."

"What?" Hua Zhukong replied.

"Hua Fuyue...is dead."

Upon hearing the news, not only Hua Zhukong was shocked, but even Hua Rongyu was so surprised that he knocked over the teacup in his hand.

"what happened?"

"At the Qiulu Banquet a month ago, Crown Prince Ye Chuji and Hua Fuyue were in the same room... and were discovered."

"Then rumors spread in the capital, saying that Hua Fuyue used despicable means to drug Ye Chuji in order to become the Crown Princess."

"The night this rumor reached the general's mansion, Hua Fuyue jumped into the well and was not discovered until the next day."

Hua Rongyu didn't expect things to turn out like this, and was a little overwhelmed for a moment.

"This……"

Hearing Hua Wuke's words, Hua Zhukong couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand.

Hua Zhukong sighed heavily and asked:

"That rumor... is it true?"

"...The rumors are not all true. In fact, Ye Chuji wanted to drug me. It was the prince who told me in advance so that I could be prepared. That's why I escaped."

"Hua Fuyue just followed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince into the room. I don't know what happened between the two of them afterwards."

Hua Wu Ke explained.

"boom!"

Hua Rongyu slammed the table heavily.

The solid wood table was actually cracked by the vibration.

"Ye Chuji is such a scoundrel, so vicious! He actually wanted to do something to you, Sui Sui... He is simply going too far!"

Hua Wujing associated Ye Chuji's drugging of Hua Wuke with Hua Wuke's visit to the border.

Thinking that Hua Wu Ke left the capital because he was afraid of Ye Chu Ji, Hua Wu Jing said:

"Don't be afraid Sui Sui, you have your brother by your side now and he will definitely protect you!"

Hua Zhukong is a military general.

But after all, he had been an official in the court for so many years, and he had seen many women who were willing to destroy their own innocence in order to marry into a wealthy family.

Hua Zhukong immediately understood what Hua Wuke had not said clearly.

"The second girl is... courting her own death! She was able to plot against Ye Chuji, so this rumor must have been spread by Ye Chuji."

After all, she is his own granddaughter. Although she is not as favored as Hua Wuke, Hua Zhukong also likes this youngster.

Hua Zhukong couldn't help but feel heartbroken when he suddenly heard the news.
