Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
He trusted Liu Sanniang, and he would not break his promise.
That power was extrely warm and pulled him as if it wanted to take him sowhere. The warm force was like rain nourishing the earth. He completely opened himself up to this force.
In a daze, Lu Zhen heard many gentle voices.
What he saw was blurry. He could sll a faint fragrance and feel a pair of hands hugging him. He heard a gentle voice. “Open your mouth—”
Lu Zhen subconsciously opened his mouth. The food was fragrant and soft. He liked this taste very much, so he ate a lot.
Gradually, he could see everything clearly. He had beco a baby in soone’s arms, and the woman who was feeding him was the young Consort De.
She blew on the hot food until it was cold and fed it to him. As she did, she took a handkerchief and wiped the soup from the corner of his mouth.
Lu Zhen was not used to it, but when he opened his mouth, he sounded like a baby. There were no words, only babbles.
Only when Consort De finished feeding him would she quickly eat so food herself. When she slept at night, from ti to ti, she would reach out to check his breathing and touch his forehead. After confirming that he was fine, Consort De would heave a long sigh of relief.
When it ca to taking care of the child, she had always done everything personally, not allowing others to feed the child.
Lu Zhen could not rember these mories, nor could he rember anything in the past. These were more like mories buried deep in his heart. They surfaced in his mind bit by bit, and the scenes beca clear.
Consort De was always very careful. Lu Zhen knew that it was because of love.
Every ti he fell sick, Consort De would be awake all night with worry. Only after he recovered could she smile and rest.
Consort De liked Buddhist scriptures and would often chant scriptures and pray.
Under her care, Lu Zhen learned to crawl, walk, and speak.
There were several fruit trees in the palace. Lu Zhen’s favorite was a winter pear tree in the garden. It was very tall and big. Every winter, when snow covered it, pears would fall.
He got up early and searched the flowers in the garden to find pears to eat.
As a child, he did not know what Consort De was worried about every day. When he went to school, his classmates told him that they stopped sleeping with their mothers a long ti ago, but he still slept with his mother.
He went back, saying firmly with clenched fists, “I’ve grown up. Mother, 1 can’t sleep with you anymore.”
Consort De was worried and helpless. Although they slept in separate rooms since then, Consort De would still wake up many tis throughout the night to go to his room to check.
Among the princes, the Second Prince had been sick and weak since he was young, and the Fifth Prince had beco stupid after falling seriously ill.
At that ti, he also seed to have fallen sick.
Lu Zhen wanted to tell his mother not to worry, but his body was heavy and his mind was in a ss, making him unable to say a word.
Consort De prayed in a sobbing voice, “May the Buddha bless my son. As long as my son recovers this ti, I will send him away. I learned my lesson and realized that I can’t protect him.”
How helpless did she have to be to send her son away just to protect him?
During the half a month when he was seriously ill, his mother had been taking care of him personally. She held his hand and cried and prayed every night.
Lu Zhen did not feel good. He did not want to be separated.
On the day he was sent away, he was still asleep.
When Consort De’s tears landed on his face, they were hot. She was very reluctant to leave him, but it was getting more and more dangerous in the palace. She was not confident that he could escape danger next ti.
After the child was sent away, Lu Zhen also left the child’s consciousness. He still lingered in the palace. He watched as Consort De knelt in front of the Buddha statue and chanted the scriptures as she cried.
Lu Zhen was beside her. He wanted to wipe Consort De’s tears, but he could not touch her no matter what.
He never knew that a woman could shed so many tears. If one looked into her eyes, one would see worry and fear in them.
However, to outsiders, she still had to try her best to pretend to be fine and happy.
The news of her son was sent back regularly. The letter was succinct, only telling her briefly how her son was doing.
When the news of her son going missing was sent back, Consort De fainted on the spot. She was so heartbroken that she could not wake up. Lu Zhen thought that she was going to die.
However, unable to accept the fact that her son was dead, on the verge of death, she woke up.
She sent out many guards to search for his son, but there was no news.
Consort De rarely went out. Other than paying her respects to the emperor, she spent all her ti chanting Buddhist scriptures.
However, Lu Zhen knew that she spent many nights crying in silence.
He didn’t know that his mother had suffered so much to protect him.
Liu Sanniang stood up and left silently.
Tears stread down Consort De’s face. “I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I’m sorry.”
Not only did Lu Zhen feel what Consort De felt, but Consort De also felt what Lu Zhen felt.
Lu Zhen understood everything now. He said calmly, “Let the past stay in the past. I’ve already grown up. I’m who I am. I won’t hate you anymore. In the future, I’ll bring Qingqing to see you often. We can take you to where you want to go. If you want to leave the palace and live with us in the future, that’s fine
too..”
