Chapter 693: Bearing the Pain for Her Son 3

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When the imperial physicians saw that Xia Hongjin had recovered, they were dumbfounded.

Now, Xia Hongjin's body was just weak. With some nourishment, he would be no different from an ordinary person.

Second Prince, you have completely recovered. As long as you recuperate well, you will be fine.

The imperial physician took off the silver needles. This illness was probably not cured in an ordinary way.

Xia Hongjin nodded. Thank you, imperial physician. I'll do as you said.

It was not easy for him to recover, so he naturally had to recuperate well. He would not let his mother down.

Xia Bingguang gave Xia Hongjin a fief. Xia Hongjin could leave the palace and go to his fief at any time.

After receiving the imperial edict, Xia Hongjin went to Jade Palace. He looked at Consort Shu, who was lying on the bed with a pale face, and read the imperial edict to her in a choked voice.

Consort Shu's face was already bloodless. She curled the corners of her lips and said with difficulty, Good Good

She was relieved. She could rest in peace now.

Xia Hongjin bent down and kissed Consort Shu's cold forehead. Mother, 1 won't let you down. Thank you, Mother. It's my honor to have you as my mother.

He had never blamed Consort Shu for his suffering.

However, Consort Shu had given him two lives. It was a blessing to have such a mother.

Consort Shu's body stiffened bit by bit and was completely frozen into a piece of ice statue. No one knew what kind of pain she had suffered before she passed away.

Consort Shu was dead.

When the news spread, Su Yanxue sighed. It's not easy to be a mother. Second Prince is lucky to be her son. 1 will go and express my condolences personally. Consort Shu is worthy of my respect.

Su Yanxue was also terrified when she thought about the fake empress. Her son was still young and did not make the fake empress feel threatened, but he was not completely safe either.

Xian Fei had already been promoted to a noble consort. She was now the head of the harem, so she naturally had to handle the funeral.

Consort De sat on the futon in the Buddha Hall while listening to the maidservant report. After the maidservant finished reporting, Consort De said, Dong Yu, do you think my son is still alive?

If Consort Xian Fei could reunite with her son and Consort Shu could help her son recover, would her son also have a chance?

Back then, when she sensed that something was wrong, she had no choice but to send her son out of the palace to keep him safe. However, gradually, she lost the whereabouts of his son.

She didn't know if he was alive or dead, but she hoped and prayed that he was still alive.

The maidservant, Dong Yu, comforted her. Your Highness, I believe Fourth Prince is still safe. He's somewhere in the Xia Dynasty, waiting for you to send someone to find him. After Dong Yu finished speaking, her eyes became firm. Your Highness, in the past, you were worried that someone would do something to Fourth Prince. Now that the fake empress is dead, send someone to find Fourth Prince. That Miss Liu is so capable. Your Highness, why don't you go and ask Miss Liu for help too? Perhaps

Consort De sighed. I also wanted to find him, but

She was just not mentally prepared yet. She was afraid, afraid that her search would be in vain.

Dong Yu looked at Consort De. Your Highness, perhaps now is the best time. Fourth Prince is a good person. He must still be waiting for you.

However, it had been more than ten years. If he was still alive, he would be old enough to get married. What if he was already married and had children? What if he could no longer remember his mother?

Consort De was in a dilemma, not knowing what to do.

Consort Shu was dead. Those who did not know the reason would not feel anything, but those who did would feel sad.

Hu Yu did not go out today. She stayed at home quietly and was a little listless.

Liu Sanniang thought that before Consort Shu drew her last breath, there must be a smile on her face.

At night, Liu Yuanyuan called Hu Yu for dinner.

Hu Yu held her chopsticks and sighed. Venerable, when do you think 1'11 meet someone who's willing to die for me?

To what extent did one have to love another to be willing to die for them?

Liu Yuanyuan rolled her eyes at Hu Yu. If you really meet such a person, I'm afraid you'll be the one to die.

Hu Yu immediately flared up. Pfft, pfft, pfft. I won't die for others. It can only be the other way around.

Liu Yuanyuan ignored her. There were indeed such fools in this world, but they were rare.

Humans cared about reciprocity. Only when you were good to others would others treat you well.

Liu Sanniang smiled and did not comment. For some reason, she felt a heaviness on her chest.

After dinner, Liu Sanniang washed up early and went to bed.

In a daze, she heard countless cries.

She opened her eyes and her heart ached at the scene she saw.

There were mounds of corpses and rivers of blood, smoke and fire, the cries of children, women, and old people

Amidst this miserable scene, the black figure looked out of place. His back was facing Liu Sanniang. He stood straight, looking into the distance as if he was admiring his masterpiece.

Liu Sanniang felt that her eyes were in pain. There seemed to be a flame spreading and burning this world. Red tears flowed out of her eyes, and her vision was blood-red. Vaguely, she saw the thick flame forming a strange shape.

With the black figure as the center, this flame slowly burned and spread until it devoured the entire world.

Liu Sanniang woke up with a start. She sat up and took a few deep breaths to calm down.

Boom! Boom!

An earth-shattering sound shook the entire capital.

Hu Yu and Liu Yuanyuan immediately came to Liu Sanniang's room with serious expressions. Venerable Liu, did you hear that? Let's go and see what happened.

Liu Sanniang nodded.

Hu Yu and Liu Yuanyuan immediately went out.

The commotion made everyone in the capital uneasy. Hu Yu and Liu Yuanyuan hid themselves. As soon as they went out, they could feel several forces heading towards the source of the commotion. Even the hidden forces in the capital were alarmed.

Soon, Liu Yuanyuan and Hu Yu arrived outside the palace.

They looked at a collapsed area in the palace and frowned.

They also heard the palace servants discussing in panic.

It must be a bad omen. Why did the Star Reaching Tower suddenly collapse? This is a holy place in the Xia Dynasty.

First, the State Ministers left. Now, the Star Reaching Tower has collapsed. I'm afraid our country will be in danger

Shut up, all of you. If 1 hear you talk nonsense again, I'll drag you out and beat you to death! The old eunuch shouted sternly..
