Chapter 701: Connection Between a Mother and a Son
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
It was late at night. Liu Sanniang was destined to not be able to sleep well tonight. After retrieving her memory, it was as if she had opened a box containing treasures. The sweet memories in the box overwhelmed her.
It made her remember what kind of person she used to be.
She had lived for many lifetimes, so she could not digest so many memories in one go.
However, she was not in a hurry either because she still had a lot of time to slowly digest and savor her past.
In the exquisite mansion, a stream of light entered a room. The woman lying on the bed looked old and her hair was all white. As the stream of light entered her heart, she, who was originally sleeping soundly, suddenly frowned.
Luo Huamei held her chest and sat up. Her face was covered with wrinkles. At this moment, she looked like she was in pain. Her pupils constricted, and she muttered a name. “Hongyuan.”
The pain in her heart was like a needle that pricked her again and again.
Luo Huamei stumbled out of bed. She ran to the door with difficulty without even putting on her shoes. She held her chest and pushed open the door with one hand.
She lay on the ground and looked at the half-moon in the sky. She let out a painful roar. “All—”
The quiet mansion quickly lit up.
A few yellow-robed Daoists entered the courtyard through the archway. When they saw Luo Huamei lying on the ground, they quickly helped her up. “Madam Luo, what’s wrong?”
Luo Huamei’s eyes were filled with anxiety. “Quick, go and get the Daoist priest. Something happened to my son.”
Tears welled up in Luo Huamei’s eyes almost instantly. She could not pretend it didn’t happen. The pain seemed to have taken away her life. She instantly thought of her son.
Mothers and children were connected. Something must have happened to her son, which was why she was in so much pain.
From the moment she had this thought, Luo Huamei could no longer control her tears. She held her chest and revealed a heart-wrenching expression.
She had been waiting to be reunited with her son for more than ten years, but she did not expect that her waiting was going to be futile in the end. At this moment, Luo Huamei felt that nothing mattered. She just wanted to see her son.
Seeing how painful she was, the Daoists knew that something big had happened and immediately went to report it to Daoist Yun Guan. When Daoist Yun Guan heard the scream, he had already woken up. He rushed to the courtyard and frowned. “Madam Luo, don’t be anxious. You didn’t lose your son. There must be something fishy going on.”
Luo Huamei looked at Daoist Yun Guan. “I’m in so much pain that I want to die. 1 can feel that something has happened to my son. Daoist priest, you said that Hongyuan is the one who will succeed the throne, so I’ve always believed you. You want to deal with Miss Liu, so do 1.”
Luo Huamei took a deep breath. “But now that my son is dead, what’s the use of me dealing with her? It’s fate. At this point, 1 don’t want to pursue anything. I just want to see my son one last time and send him off.”
Daoist Yun Guan frowned. “It’s impossible for the Eldest Prince to die. This must be a scheme. If you go, you will be walking into a trap. The Star Reaching Tower has collapsed and the fate of the country is cut off. They wanted to sacrifice you to reverse the situation. Are you willing to die?”
Luo Huamei cried and shook her head. “I’m indignant. What can 1 do?”
After waiting for more than ten years, she finally took back her identity and had hope for the future. However, the heavens seemed to be playing a joke on her. Just when she thought that things were getting better, her son was deposed.
She was supposed to be the empress of the world, but now she had fallen to such a state. She was indignant.
However, what could she do?
Daoist Yun Guan looked at Luo Huamei and said in a low voice, “If you’re indignant, take back what belongs to you. This must be that witch’s scheme. She wants to force you to go back. If you go back, you’ll die in her hands.”
Luo Huamei’s heart ached. “But what if my intuition is true?”
If it was true, if she missed this chance, she would not even have the chance to see her son again.
Daoist Yun Guan was extremely certain. “This can’t be true. If you’re worried, 1’11 get someone to investigate and tell you the accurate news.”
Liu Sanniang was getting stronger and stronger. So many old friends of his had died in her hands. If she didn’t die, they would.
Daoist Yun Guan naturally did not want to die, so he could only think of a way to get rid of Liu Sanniang. The collapse of the Star Reaching Tower was an opportunity. He could use the lives of the people in the world to force Liu Sanniang to sacrifice herself.
Therefore, he definitely could not let the real empress go back.
The First Prince should be fine in the palace. This must be a scheme.
Daoist Yun Guan’s calmness and affirmation made Luo Huamei believe him. Luo Huamei took a deep breath and said, “Daoist priest, 1 believe you, so I’m willing to wait another day. 1 hope you can find out the truth as soon as possible.”
Daoist Yun Guan nodded. “Madam, just wait patiently. There will be news soon.”
Looking at Luo Huamei’s painful expression, Daoist Yun Guan took out a small bottle and handed it to her. “Madam, take this. This is a pill with spiritual qi. If you feel unbearable pain, you can take one. It’s extremely vicious of Liu Sanniang to take away your son’s life force to make you feel pain.”
Luo Huamei took the bottle, opened it, and took one. The suffocating pain in her heart quickly eased.
Luo Huamei held her chest. “I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my heart. At that moment, I had an extremely strong feeling that something had happened to my son. I even felt that he was dead.”
At the thought that Xia Hongyuan was dead, Luo Huamei’s tears fell. “If Hongyuan is dead, there is really nothing left in this world to live for. We’ve been separated for more than ten years. I just want to see him again. If I don’t go back, I won’t even be able to see him one last time..”
