Rebirth on the wedding night, being doted on by the scumbag elder brother
Chapter 338 Think carefully
"I heard that a stranger came here and was worried about the emperor's safety, so I came to see him. What if this person has bad intentions..." The queen glanced at the weak woman and felt more and more uneasy.
The woman shuddered and shook her head hastily to deny it: "I have no ill intentions and would not dare to do anything bad to the emperor. Please understand!"
She looked very charming, and the emperor immediately comforted her: "Lie down and rest, your injury is not healed yet."
Seeing this, the queen clenched her fists even tighter, her nails almost piercing into her palms, "Your Majesty."
"I know my limits and do not need the Queen to remind me." The emperor spoke in a cold tone, his brows furrowed, and he looked very dissatisfied.
The queen felt dizzy, as if her heart was cut by a knife. At this moment, the friendship between husband and wife for many years was not as good as the trust of a stranger.
Even so, she calmly suggested: "Your Majesty, please consider carefully and find out the true identity of this young lady to reassure the people and the ministers."
In order to force the emperor to investigate the truth, every word she said was full of pressure.
If a problem is really found, she doesn't have to do it herself, the law will take care of it.
"You..." The emperor looked at the queen, and after a moment he said "OK" three times in a row, and then ordered, "Go call Su Huan."
Soon, the commander of the imperial guards, Su Huan, appeared in front of him.
"Su Huan, thoroughly check Miss Rong's identity and background."
"Yes, sir." Su Huan responded and cast a scrutinizing look at Luo Yuqing.
Luo Yuqing's eyes were moist, and she said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, please let me go home. My mother is already 80 years old and is waiting for me to go back and boil medicine. Without the medicine, I'm afraid she won't last for a few days."
"We live in Qingshan Town and depend on each other. Recently my mother has been coughing up blood and our family is too poor to see a doctor, so I took the risk to go up the mountain to collect herbs. Unexpectedly, I was accidentally injured by an arrow." Luo Yuqing said, pressing her hand on her chest, the pain made her face even paler.
"Your Majesty, I beg you to show me mercy and let me go home to take care of my mother."
After saying that, Luo Yuqing struggled to kneel on the ground, kowtowed and begged the emperor.
The emperor hurriedly helped her up, full of concern, "Get up quickly, don't hurt yourself... Su Huan, you take her home tomorrow."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After hearing this, Luo Yu showed a hint of joy on his face and smiled slightly.
The warm yellow light of the oil lamp reflected on her cheek. At that moment, her appearance seemed to coincide with that of the stunningly beautiful, gentle and virtuous Concubine Rong of the past.
The emperor was in a trance for a moment, staring at her. Even though he knew it was not the same person, his heart was intoxicated involuntarily.
"Rong'er..."
The queen was relieved at first, as the strange woman took the initiative to ask to leave, which was the best thing for her. But when she heard the emperor's affectionate call, her heart suddenly tightened.
The next morning.
Su Huan prepared a carriage to escort Luo Yuqing back to Qingshan Town, which was not far from the hunting grounds and could be reached in half a day.
Standing in the distance, the emperor's eyes followed the figure of this beautiful woman until she got into the carriage and lowered the curtain. He suddenly felt a sense of emptiness and discomfort in his heart.
The carriage went farther and farther away. The moment the curtain fell, Luo Yuqing's innocent expression disappeared and his eyes became deep and cold.
She gently stroked her belly, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes, "My child..."
The carriage carried her forward, passing through the mountain paths, and finally entered Qingshan Town.
The villagers gathered around curiously. In this remote place, they rarely saw soldiers. Now seeing a group of fully armed people entering the village, everyone couldn't help but become nervous.
"Wow..." A child was frightened and cried. His mother quickly hugged him and covered his mouth with her hands: "Be good, don't cry, don't cry!"
"What's going on? Why are there so many strangers here?"
"It seems they are going to the old woman's house!"
The carriage slowly stopped in front of a dilapidated thatched house.
Luo Yuqing, wearing a veil, quickly got out of the car and ran into the house.
"Mom, I'm back."
At the same time, Su Huan dismounted and began to investigate Luo Yuqing's identity and background.
According to the emperor's instructions, he must find out the truth.
He asked the village elder about the situation, and the old man trembled and replied: "You are talking about the old woman and her daughter who live there!"
"Do you know her daughter's name?"
"I don't know!" The old man shook his head. "The girl was picked up by the old lady and she raised her as her own daughter."
Another villager added: "She always covered her face and was said to have been abandoned because of her facial defects."
After some visits, Su Huan discovered that the villagers knew very little about the mother and daughter. They only knew that they lived in poverty and depended on each other, and that Luo Yuqing was a loner and hardly communicated with the outside world.
After completing the initial investigation, Su Huan returned to the thatched cottage.
In the silent house, cries of grief broke the tranquility.
"Mother, how could you bear to leave me..." Luo Yuqing's voice was hoarse and desperate, "It's all my fault for being unfilial and not coming back in time. If I could have found the herbs earlier, maybe you wouldn't have left."
Su Huan heard the heartbreaking sound and walked into the room with a frown on his face.
Luo Yuqing was seen kneeling on the ground, tightly holding her late mother's hand, tears falling like pearls from a broken string.
The old woman lay there quietly, her face peaceful, as if she was just sleeping.
"It's all my fault..." Luo Yuqing said with sobs, gently caressing her mother's face, "Without you, what's the point of me living?"
She stood up, a look of determination flashed in her eyes, and then she slammed into the pillar next to her.
Su Huan was shocked and rushed forward to hug her tightly.
"Stop!" he shouted.
Luo Yuqing struggled: "Please let me go. It was my unfilial behavior that killed my mother. I have no face to live on..." Her voice was full of self-blame and helplessness, and her tears could not stop flowing.
"Even so, you can't give up your life like this!" Su Huan said firmly.
The pain of losing her mother made Luo Yuqing feel unprecedented loneliness and confusion. She didn't know what to do in the future. At this moment, the old wound on her heart split open due to the violent movement, and blood oozed out.
Seeing this, Su Huan immediately let her go and looked at the wound worriedly.
"Why does it hurt so much when my heart isn't injured..." Luo Yuqing muttered to himself, pounding his chest hard, trying to ease the pain in his heart.
"If you really care about your mother, you should stay strong and live on." Su Huan grabbed her wrist and said seriously, "If she saw you like this, she would be very sad."
Hearing this, Luo Yuqing trembled all over, and finally couldn't help but threw herself into Su Huan's arms and burst into tears.
"I really don't know what to do..."
At that moment, Su Huan's heart was deeply touched. The feeling of losing a loved one many years ago came to his mind again. He gently patted Luo Yuqing's back, giving silent support.
