Chapter 1465: Chapter 1460: Master, You Must Love Her Very Much
Xiao Yuâs desk was filled with portraits of Su Miaoyan; each day he would paint countless images of her in his secluded time, missing her deeply.
He looked at each portrait with rapt fascination.
But after reminiscing, his eyes were filled with a deep malice, so heavy it made him want to destroy everything!
Hua Qingluo arrived soundlessly, Xiao Yu being unaware. When he looked up, his gaze fell upon the unconscious child in Hua Qingluoâs hands.
Xiao Yuâs brows furrowed with a cold expression, âWhy have you brought him here?â
With the Crown Prince gone, Jiang Du City would surely be under martial law, making it easier for them to be discovered here.
Hua Qingluoâs face concealed, her overly pale hands revealed, she dropped Chu Heng at Xiao Yuâs feet, âYour son was taken because of Chu Yihan; now, Iâve brought his son to you, as a gift to vent your anger. How about that?â
If it werenât for Chen Ruobai opposing the imperial court, he wouldnât have targeted the Xiao family. Xiao Yuâs family torn apart, all deeply entwined with the current imperial situation.
His wife was now controlled by Chu Yihan, his sonâs life or death uncertain, with his now violent temperament, he would likely have no mercy for Chu Heng.
Hua Qingluo watched Xiao Yu intently, noticing that he hadnât moved an inch from his wheelchair.
Could he possibly be uninterested in Chu Yihanâs son?
Was it that he couldnât bear to harm him?
Then, there was a problem.
Hua Qingluoâs slender eyes narrowed slightly, and just as she moved forward to take Chu Heng away, Xiao Yuâs folding fan tapped on the back of her hand, âThank you.â
Hua Qingluo chuckled, âAre you planning to keep him to toy with slowly?â
âWell, since youâve given him to me, thereâs no need for you to trouble yourself further, right?â Xiao Yu looked at her, his eyes devoid of any suspicion towards her, but when his gaze fell upon the child, it turned instantly dark and terrifying.
Hua Qingluo laughed softly and walked out.
Yet she didnât leave the manor with Zhao Lingâer, instead choosing to lurk within the manor grounds.
Her first act after rebirth was to diligently practice martial arts with Zhao Lingâer. Both naturally intelligent and gifted, they practiced tirelessly day and night, their skills no less remarkable than those of Silver Moon Pavilion, with Hua Qingluoâs martial arts having reached a transformative level.
Zhao Lingâer, although not strong in martial arts skills, possessed high lightness skill. She had once followed a member of the Silver Moon Pavilion without being detected.
At this moment, Shadow Guard stood outside Xiao Yuâs door. A figure appeared at the window, grasping a child by the throat, lifting the child high as intermittent cries for help came, âSave⊠save me, let go.â
âHelp! MotherâŠâ
âFatherâŠâ
âSaveâŠâ
The childâs cries for help didnât last long before they ceased.
Mu Qianya happened to walk by and saw this scene. She immediately covered her mouth, pretending to have seen nothing, turned around, pushed Feng Ling back into another courtyard, closed the room door, and locked herself in.
Xiao Yuâs courtyard was not far from hers; she could still hear some faint noises but didnât dare to imagine what was happening.
During the calls for help, the child cried out for father and mother, so this child must be the Crown Prince!
Xiao Yu actually made a move on himâŠ
Mu Qianya dared not think any further.
Xiao Yu had gone mad, and she was trapped on this treacherous ship with no way off.
Hua Qingluo and Zhao Lingâer concealed themselves in the night, watching Shadow Guard get called into Xiao Yuâs room by him, and then left the courtyard carrying a doll wrapped in black cloth.
Zhao Lingâer quickly followed after.
Hua Qingluo waited for her in the bamboo forest. Zhao Lingâer, upon her return, said, âThat person was so cruel, directly throwing the child into the well. Only after seeing him sink did he leave, truly not giving any chance for survival.â
âReally? Did you watch closely?â Hua Qingluo raised an eyebrow.
Zhao Lingâer nodded. âI watched very carefully. The child might not have been completely suffocated; he showed signs of breathing and moved his feet a little. But after being thrown into a well in the mountains, there was just a splash, and I even went to the edge of the well to check â he had sunk to the bottom.â
Once fished out, it would be nothing more than a corpse.
âHeh⊠Hahaha!â Hua Qingluo covered her lips and chuckled lightly, under the moonlight, those slightly revealed lips curved in a breathtaking manner.
It wasnât hard to imagine the stunning beauty hidden beneath that hood.
Zhao Lingâer did not think he was laughing happily, but rather remembered him mentioning that in his previous life, he had a child who later died.
He couldnât protect his own child.
âMaster, was it Chu Yihan who killed your child?â Zhao Lingâer sat beside him, tilting her head to ask.
The vibrant light in her eyes seemed to carry the brilliance of stars, or the pure water from the snow-capped mountains, utterly pristine.
Hua Qingluo embraced her, his large palm gently kneading the top of her head, âIt was an unborn child. I only knew of his existence when he and his mother were killed.â
He was occupied defending Jiang Du City and did not even have time to return to the palace to see them once.
When Chu Yihan broke through Jiang Du City in search of Su Yurou, he brutally slaughtered the Imperial family; naturally, his maid and children could not escape the same fate.
âMaster, master! Iâll wait for your return!â
In his previous life, those were the last words he heard Zhao Lingâer say.
But he failed to defend Jiang Du City and to protect them.
âMaster, then you must have loved her very much?â
Zhao Lingâer leaned in his embrace, puffing her cheeks as she spoke.
Hua Qingluo looked down at her, with a tender expression, his enchanting purple eyes gleaming with a dazzling light, âYes, I loved her dearly, and I loved my child as well.â
Itâs a pity that everything he fought for so desperately in his previous life was utterly destroyed by Chu Yihan!
He lost his loved ones, which also made him lose everything!
In this life, he must take his revenge and let Chu Yihan taste the pain of losing everything!
Chu Heng had been missing for two days, and the people of Jiang Du City were anxious. Everyone prayed for the little Crown Prince, hoping he was safe and sound, even Su Miaoyan quieted down.
She sat on the bed, gazing through the window at the sky outside, her eyes misty with tears, âWhat did the children do wrong? They are so soft and adorable, they should be well protected and cared for as they grow up.â
Just like her.
When she was young, her parents protected her well, and her grandpa also adored her. Her brothers and sisters, they all indulged her.
Her Ningning deserved to be loved like this too.
And what about Hengâer, who called her Aunt? Didnât he deserve to be cherished?
Su Yingxue was granted permission to leave the palace to search for Chu Heng. She searched day after day, every day wandering every street and alley, refusing to return from the mountains; if not for Su Hao accompanying her, she would just not rest at all, unable to close her eyes all night.
âYingxue, if the Crown Prince canât be found, are you going to give up on your own life too?!â
Su Qingzhi was immensely distressed seeing his granddaughter like this.
With Chu Heng missing, all the Imperial Guards in the city were searching for him, even mobilizing troops from two other cities. Su Yingxueâs self-torment would only make her increasingly weak.
Su Yingxueâs face was pale, her eyes rimmed red, her tears had dried up from crying. She shook her head, âI canât eat or sleep; I want to go out and search again. Donât stop me.â
