After rebirth, she turned around and married the emperor's uncle and tore the scumbag apart

Xiao Yu and his group of four traveled non-stop and only arrived at their destination on New Year's Eve.

This is a village located outside Lingzhou City, on the hillside of Qingling Mountain. It is named after the mountain’s bell-like shape.

Two months ago, Xiao Yu sent Concubine Zhen here to live in seclusion. This is his first time here.

There is no snow here. In winter, the mountains are covered with dead trees and fallen leaves, with some green pines and cypresses growing here and there. At the foot of the mountain is a clear green river that looks like a green ribbon.

"when……"

As soon as the carriage stopped at the gate of the manor, a loud bell rang from the mountain. The distant sound echoed among the mountains, as if it came from the fairyland, sacred and inviolable, and able to cleanse everything.

"This bell sounds so beautiful!" Yan Qing looked towards the top of the mountain where the sound came from, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything at the foot of the mountain.

Xiao Yu had a faint smile on his face, and his eyes were gentle as he looked towards the top of the mountain. "It should be the sound of the bell in the nunnery on the mountain. I can hear it these days."

Doctor Lu got off the carriage with the help of Lin Chuan, looked around, and couldn't help but sighed: "Just looking at this place makes me feel happy. The place is well chosen."

At this point, Yan Qing raised his head with a proud look on his face, "I helped the prince choose it. I have a good eye, right?"

Doctor Lu stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad!"

Xiao Yu looked at the gate with red lanterns hanging on it, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Go knock on the door," he said gently.

Lin Chuan responded and walked forward and knocked on the wooden door of the manor.

"Coming!" After a while, there was a response from inside.

A teenager in his teens opened the door. He was as tall as Lin Chuan's shoulders, wearing a gray coarse cloth jacket, black pants, and a gray cap on his head.

He stared at Lin Chuan and asked, "Are you our lady's son?"

"This is the master." Lin Chuan took a step to the side, letting Xiao Yu go in front.

Xiao Yu was tall and graceful, wearing a gorgeous indigo-colored cloud-patterned robe and a sable fur cape. His face was round and his features were ordinary, but the beard he had put on added a mature dignity to him.

When meeting Xiao Yu's calm and deep gaze, the young man was intimidated by the aura emanating from Xiao Yu and dared not move.

After a moment of confusion, the young man stammered, "Hello, young master. I... I'll go call the Madam now."

After saying that, he ran away, leaving a few people standing at the door.

Yan Qing suggested: "How about... we move the luggage in first?"

"Yes." Doctor Lu responded, "It is not suitable for your young master to stand in the wind."

"Come in!" Xiao Yu said, and stepped into the yard.

Lin Chuan supported Doctor Lu, while Yan Qing followed behind carrying several people's packages and holding Xiao Yu's box in his arms.

The yard was spacious, with bluestone paved floors and some flowers and plants planted near the corners. Red lanterns and red silk were hung under the eaves of the hall, and new couplets were posted on the door.

A little maid holding a rag and wearing a pink jacket came towards them. When she saw them, she was stunned for a moment and forgot to speak.

Yan Qing was still handsome after his disguise. He gave the little maid a brilliant smile, and the little maid blushed instantly.

Before they even walked into the hall, they heard Concubine Zhen's voice: "Xiao Qi, why don't you welcome my son in before calling me? It's so cold, what will happen if he gets frozen?"

At the hanging flower door on one side of the hall, Concubine Zhen was hurriedly walking out with the young man and a maid.

Concubine Zhen was wearing a light blue long gown, her hair was tied into a bun with two white jade hairpins inserted in it, and she was wearing a pair of white jade earrings.

Although he was complaining, he looked happy.

"Mother."

Xiao Yu stood there and called softly with a joyful smile on his face.

"Yu'er?" Xiao Yu had changed his appearance, and Concubine Zhen didn't recognize him at first, but from that pair of eyes and Xiao Yu's stature and figure, Concubine Zhen recognized him at a glance.

The prince was not allowed to leave the capital without an imperial edict.

After Concubine Zhen reacted, she trotted over, hugged Xiao Yu, and buried her face in his chest.

Xiao Yu also gently hugged Concubine Zhen and called her "Mother" softly.

Concubine Zhen let go of Xiao Yu, then took a half step back and looked him up and down, "Yu'er, are you safe along the way? Are you not hurt?"

Xiao Yu stood there, allowing Concubine Zhen to examine him, with a gentle smile on his face, "Mother, with their protection, the journey was smooth."

"Really?" Concubine Zhen looked up at Xiao Yu's face and breathed a sigh of relief.

But he soon noticed that the big hand in his hand was like ice, without any temperature at all.

She hurriedly held Xiao Yu's hand and rubbed it, frowning and saying, "Why are your hands so cold? Come to the living room and warm them up in the stove."

After saying that, he took Xiao Yu's hand and walked towards the hall.

The hall was filled with dark red tables and chairs, which were wiped very clean.

On the two shelves on the left and right corners of the wall, there are several porcelain vases with different patterns and colors, which are simple and elegant.

As soon as they came in, Concubine Zhen pulled Xiao Yu to sit next to the stove and ordered the servants, "Close the door quickly and turn on the lights."

Doctor Lu and the other three also followed into the hall. Yan Qing was carrying three bundles on his back and holding a box in his arms, which made him particularly conspicuous. Concubine Zhen quickly noticed him.

Only then did she remember that she had ignored the other people in her excitement.

Concubine Zhen had an apologetic smile on her face: "I'm sorry, I was too worried about Yu'er and forgot to thank you three. Thank you for escorting Yu'er all the way."

Doctor Lu waved his hands and said, "Madam, you are welcome. This is all part of our job."

Concubine Zhen smiled and nodded, then asked, "What are your names?"

"My surname is Lu, and I am... your doctor."

"My name is Lin Chuan, and I'm the young master's bodyguard."

"Madam, I am Xiaoyan."

After Yan Qing said this, Concubine Zhen remembered that she had seen him before leaving the palace. She also remembered that Xiao Yu had also disguised himself, so she didn't ask any more questions.

"Thank you for your hard work along the way." Concubine Zhen looked at Yan Qing kindly, "Xiao Yan, let them take the things in your arms to your room!"

Yan Qing chuckled, "Thank you for your kindness, Madam. But the box contains the young master's things and cannot be handled by others. Let them lead the way and I will put it away myself."

Concubine Zhen called Xiao Qi over and said, "Take Master Yan to his room. Don't make any more mistakes."

Xiao Qi nodded, "Don't worry, Madam, it won't happen this time."

After Yan Qing stood up, Doctor Lu and Lin Chuan also stood up and left, leaving the mother and son some space to be alone together.

Concubine Zhen took Xiao Yu's hand and rubbed it in her palm, tears welling up in her eyes, "Are you still not feeling well? Why are your hands so cold?"

Xiao Yu was worried that his mother would blame herself, so he kept the fact that the emperor had poisoned him a secret from his mother, and also kept the fact that he didn't have much time left a secret from him.

He let his mother warm his hands while he comforted her in a gentle voice: "Mine are still the same as before, just a little cold, it's no problem."

After hearing what Xiao Yu said, Concubine Zhen felt relieved. "That's good. I'll be relieved if you're safe. But it won't work if you keep doing this. Can't you get well? That doctor seems to be very skilled."

If Xiao Yu wants to cure his disease completely, he must have the Spirit Fire Grass, and this herb is in Xiao Changan's hands.

There was more hope in his eyes, "We are still missing one herb, and we are finding some clues. Once we get it, the child's old illness can be completely cured."

"Really?" Concubine Zhen held Xiao Yu's hand, her eyes, which already had fine wrinkles, sparkling, "That's good, that's good!"

After showing concern for her son, Concubine Zhen thought of her daughter-in-law, "Why didn't Yue'er come with us? The scenery here is nice, we can bring her along for a visit."

When Xiao Yu mentioned Su Lingyue, his expression was particularly gentle. "I have been keeping a low profile this time, and everything is simple. She is a delicate woman, and I don't want her to suffer with me. I will bring her to see mother when I am free in the future."

Thinking of the gift Su Lingyue asked him to bring, Xiao Yu said, "Although she hasn't arrived yet, she is still thinking about mother and asked me to bring a gift for her. I will give it to her later."

When Concubine Zhen heard him say this, she said lovingly, "Actually, there's no need to rush. The journey is so tiring. Come later. I'll be happy as long as you come. There's no need to rush to celebrate the New Year."

Xiao Yu looked at Concubine Zhen's loving face, his eyes full of love, "For so many years, my mother and I haven't spent the New Year together. I want to accompany her this year."

Xiao Yu thought of another purpose and decided to talk about it later. He didn't want to ruin the joy of reunion so soon.
