Chapter 703: What You Heard Is Truth

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

She had been separated from her son for more than ten years. She did not know what Xia Hongyuan had become or what his daily life was like. She wanted to know even if it was just a little bit of news.

On the way, she met a disciple of Daoist Yun Guan. Luo Huamei nodded slightly as a greeting.

The Daoist priest also nodded and asked, “Madam, where are you going?”

Luo Huamei replied calmly, “I’m going to see Daoist Yun Guan.”

The Daoist priest smiled. “Take care, Madam.”

As long as she did not leave the mansion, Luo Huamei could go wherever she wanted. After all, she was not locked up.

Luo Huamei nodded and left.

The Daoist priest did not take it to heart and went to do his own thing.

Luo Huamei had been living in this mansion for a while. The mansion was only so big, so she already knew the ways. She went straight to the courtyard where Daoist Yun Guan lived.

She walked in and was about to knock on the door when she heard someone talking.

“s.h.i.+fu, I found out that the eunuchs who served the Eldest Prince in the disciplinary center were all sent away. From them, I learned that the Eldest Prince is seriously ill.”

A disciple was reporting to Daoist Yun Guan, who was meditating.

Outside the door, Luo Huamei’s heart ached. She held her chest and squatted down. She bit her lip hard to stop herself from crying out in pain.

Daoist Yun Guan said calmly, “Is the Eldest Prince still alive?”

“I don’t know. Those eunuchs were all punished because they didn’t find an imperial physician to treat the Eldest Prince and even ate his food. In the past month, the Eldest Prince lost his power. I heard from them that the Eldest Prince hasn’t eaten much for a few days. Later, the Crown Prince went to the disciplinary center and dealt with these eunuchs. Now, the disciplinary center is filled with the Crown Prince’s people, so no news can be found out.”

The disciple in the gray robe replied truthfully.

Now, the disciplinary center was filled with the Crown Prince’s men. No one knew what was going on inside, so they couldn’t find out if the Eldest Prince had pa.s.sed away.

Daoist Yun Guan frowned. “Don’t tell her about this yet, in case she ruins our plan. There’s only one Star Reaching Tower in the Xia Dynasty. If I don’t take this opportunity to get rid of her, I won’t have a chance in the future.”

“s.h.i.+fu, don’t worry. The disciples will keep an eye on her and won’t let her leave the mansion.”

As Daoist Yun Guan’s disciples, they naturally followed his instructions.

Daoist Yun Guan nodded. “No matter what happens to the Eldest Prince, we can’t let her leave. In a few days, it will be Liu Sanniang’s death.”

“s.h.i.+fu, don’t worry.”

Luo Huamei stumbled out of the courtyard. Her heart ached, but she was even more sober. She could not let Daoist Yun Guan know that she had been to his courtyard. It turned out that they were all lying to her.

Tears blurred her vision. Luo Huamei took out the bottle from her pocket, poured out the pills, and swallowed them all. The pain in her heart did not decrease.

She walked towards the pavilion in front and sat down with the help of a pillar. She curled up in pain and poured the bottle into her mouth with trembling hands. She had to calm down.

After hiding for so many years, she had toughened up a lot. Otherwise, she would have died long ago.

When a Daoist priest saw her in pain, he quickly went to call for help.

When Daoist Yun Guan heard the news, he frowned and quickly went to check Luo Huaimei.

“s.h.i.+fu is here.”

Seeing that Daoist Yun Guan was here, everyone moved aside. Daoist Yun Guan raised his hand and patted Luo Huamei’s head.

Feeling the nourishment of this thick spiritual qi, Luo Huamei felt much better. She lowered her eyes and took a deep breath.

Daoist Yun Guan asked calmly, “Madam, why are you here?”

Before Luo Huamei could speak, the Daoist priest who had met her earlier said, “s.h.i.+fu, Madam is going to look for you.”

Luo Huamei nodded. “I’m worried about my son. It’s already dawn, so I wanted to ask you if there’s any news about my son. However, halfway through, my heart ached unbearably. Daoist Yun Guan, is there any news about my son?”

Daoist Yun Guan did not doubt Luo Huamei’s explanation. He said seriously, “Madam, don’t worry. I’ve already found out the news. Although the Eldest Prince has lost his power, there are still people who support him. He has suffered a little in the disciplinary center, but his life is not in danger. He just lost some weight.”

Hearing Daoist Yun Guan lie through his teeth, Luo Huamei’s heart ached and tears fell. She lowered her head and wiped her tears to hide her emotions.

Luo Huamei opened her mouth several times before finally saying something. “It’s good that he’s fine.”

Daoist Yun Guan thought that Luo Huamei was crying tears of joy. Women were like this. When they were sad, they would cry. When they were happy, they would cry. Luo Huamei loved her son dearly. Now that she had finally received the news that her son was safe and sound, it was normal for her to cry when she was excited.

Luo Huamei calmed down and endured the pain in her heart. She said to Daoist Yun Guan, “Thank you, Daoist Yun Guan. As long as my son is safe and sound, I won’t die for nothing. If not for you, I’m afraid 1 would have run to see my son and fallen into Miss Liu’s trap long ago.”

Daoist Yun Guan nodded. “It’s good that you understand my good intentions. Wait a few more days. 1’11 definitely let you and your son reunite.”

Luo Huamei nodded, wiped her tears, and returned to her room.

But when she closed the door, she collapsed on the bed from despair.

If Daoist Yun Guan told her the truth, she might not suspect him, but he chose to lie to her.

Daoist Yun Guan did not know if Xia Hongyuan was safe or not.

Even if Liu Sanniang was not a good person, Daoist Yun Guan was not a good person either. They all had their ulterior motives. Other than herself, she couldn’t trust anyone.

This place was filled with Daoist Yun Guan’s disciples. If she wanted to go out, she could only wait until it was dark. She had been struggling in the markets for more than ten years. If she didn’t know anything, how could she survive?

Back then, she fell unconscious. When she woke up, she found herself in a carriage with more than ten women in it. It was a carriage packed with women who were convicted of serious crimes and were sent to the army to be prost.i.tutes.

She was the empress of a country. How could she be violated like that?

She had to run, but those people branded slave marks on her. Even if she escaped, she couldn’t run for long.

After escaping, she started hiding everywhere. Later, she burned the slave mark and left a scar on her body. In order not to be recognized, she tanned herself and became an ugly woman..
