Chapter 395: Deep Parental Love
Chapter 395: Deep Parental Love
After returning to the room, Meng Qianqian poured a cup of tea for Lu Yuan and asked, "What were you thinking just now?"
Lu Yuan picked up the teacup and took a glance, "Is this cup also one that was dropped on the ground and then given to me to drink from?"
Meng Qianqian cleared her throat, "Am I that kind of person?"
"Hard to say."
Lu Yuan took a sip.
"Hey, you're drinking even though you said it's hard to say?"
Meng Qianqian pouted.
Lu Yuan finished the cup of tea and placed the cup back on the table.
He was always like this, speaking the most unpleasant words while doing the most unenthusiastic actions.
Meng Qianqian sat beside him and stared at him intently.
Lu Yuan continued, "Before leaving the Capital City, I went to bid farewell to the Retired Emperor."
Meng Qianqian responded seriously, "And then?"
Lu Yuan said, "The Retired Emperor gave me a silk pouch and asked me to open it only after entering the Miao Territory."
"Did you open it?" Meng Qianqian asked.
Lu Yuan nodded, "I did. Inside was a letter and a peace lock."
"Where are they now?"
"In the cabinet."
Meng Qianqian went to search his cabinet and effortlessly found an embroidered sachet, "You didn't even bother to hide it?"
Lu Yuan countered, "Hide from whom? You or the little one?"
Meng Qianqian's mouth twitched.
Lu Yuan hit the nail on the head, "This peace lock isn't valuable. The little one doesn't care for it, and you even less so."
Meng Qianqian: ...That's not what I meant.
"I've already destroyed the letter."
Lu Yuan explained, "The Retired Emperor asked me to find an old friend on his behalf, and that friend is the Qin Emperor. But when the Retired Emperor gave me the letter, the Qin Emperor hadn't ascended the throne yet, so the letter still addressed him as the Qin King."
"How many Qin Kings are there in the world?" Meng Qianqian inquired.
"One," Lu Yuan replied.
"Who is this Qin King?"
Meng Qianqian had lost her memory, but just now, Luo Shan mentioned this person, indicating that he must be a prominent figure. She must have heard of him in her previous life but couldn't recall it after her rebirth.
Lu Yuan calmly explained, "In the southwest, various warlords are fighting for control. The Great Zhou, the Western Regions, and even the former Majestic King of Miao all have designs on this territory, but they've all been blocked by the old Qin King."
Meng Qianqian was deeply impressed. She curiously asked, "What favor does the old Qin King owe the Retired Emperor?"
Lu Yuan frowned, "The letter didn't go into details. The Retired Emperor only asked me to take the peace lock to find the old Qin King."
Meng Qianqian further asked, "Is it the old Qin King or his son who became the Emperor?"
Lu Yuan pondered, "If the old Qin King were still alive, he should be around the same age as the Grandmatriarch. Most likely, it's his son who became the Emperor."
Meng Qianqian raised an eyebrow, "Or perhaps it's his grandson."
The Qin King's lineage in the southwest shared similarities with the Bai family's unification of the Miao Territory, albeit with a twist. The Majestic King of Miao chose to submit to the court, while the old Qin King's lineage opted for establishing their own kingdom.
Meng Qianqian carefully examined the old silver peace lock, "I've seen jade pendants used as tokens, but never a peace lock. Aren't peace locks for children?"
On Baoshu's neck hung a gleaming golden peace lock.
It was just that her clothing was too thick, concealing the peace lock underneath.
Lu Yuan had also been puzzled, but that old fox, the Retired Emperor, insisted he open it only upon reaching the Miao Territory. Now that he was there, how could he seek answers from the Retired Emperor?
Meng Qianqian whispered, "Why are you listening to the Retired Emperor so attentively? Aren't you always rebellious?"
Lu Yuan: "..."
Lu Yuan: "The Emperor's orders cannot be defied."
Meng Qianqian muttered, "You've defied them many times before."
Lu Yuan rarely listened to others, but this time, the Retired Emperor had tricked him.
The old ginger is the spiciest.
Lu Yuan clenched his fists, "Old fox!"
Meng Qianqian picked up the wedding invitation left by Luo Shan on the table, "I was going to settle accounts with the Thousand-Mechanisms Pavilion, and you were going to meet the Western Qin Emperor. Now that the Thousand-Mechanisms Pavilion has moved to the Southwest and become the Grand Minister of the Western Qin Emperor, we don't need to part ways."
Lu Yuan's expression darkened, "You were planning to part ways with me? Using this connection, you healed Changle and were ready to leave me and follow Celestial Dragon to Ling Shan?"
That careless girl, using him and then leaving without a care!
Meng Qianqian tugged at his hand, "Husband."
"It won't work."
"Then what will?"
Lu Yuan extended three fingers.
Meng Qianqian's eyes widened, "Call three times?"
Lu Yuan: "Have three children."
Meng Qianqian: "..."
Meng Qianqian ran away.
Liu Muyan spent the afternoon in Shang Changle's room.
When Meng Qianqian went to find Shang Changle, she was already awake.
Her pale face had a hint of rosiness, and she stretched comfortably, "Sister, I haven't slept so soundly in a long time."
"Really?"
Meng Qianqian touched her hand, "It's not as cold, and Grandmother has a way. Don't worry, Grandmother will definitely cure you."
Shang Changle nodded.
After leaving Shang Changle's room, Meng Qianqian went to Liu Muyan's courtyard.
Lu Yuan was also there.
"Grandmother."
Meng Qianqian bowed.
"Come and sit."
Liu Muyan said to Meng Qianqian.
Meng Qianqian sat beside Lu Yuan, "Grandmother, Changle seems much better."
Liu Muyan said, "I just let her have a peaceful sleep. This child's poison has attacked her heart, and she has suffered from heart ailments for many years, unable to sleep deeply."
Meng Qianqian said with concern, "So Changle has been enduring such pain all this time."
Looking at the soft and delicate girl, her inner strength was no less than a man's.
Who said only Shang Wuyou resembled her second uncle?
Shang Changle's forbearance was probably even greater than her second uncle's.
"Grandmother, I heard this poison is incurable, and Changle..."
This was Meng Qianqian's greatest worry.
Although she didn't know what the Snake and her grandmother discussed in the room, when the Snake came out, she didn't mention treatment at all.
Changle's condition was probably beyond the Snake's ability to cure.
Liu Muyan said, "Changle's poison was indeed tricky, but since you found the Purple Dream Grass, it seems her fate isn't sealed."
Meng Qianqian asked excitedly, "Does that mean Changle's illness can be cured?"
Liu Muyan said, "I'll do my best, but she's been poisoned for a long time, and it won't be cured in just a few days. Ah Yuan told me about your trip to the Southwest. Since it's the Retired Emperor's request, you should go."
Meng Qianqian looked at Lu Yuan and then at Liu Muyan.
"Grandmother."
Having just reunited, they had to part ways again, and her heart was filled with reluctance.
But who else felt this reluctance?
Meng Qianqian's gaze returned to Lu Yuan's face.
Liu Muyan held Lu Yuan's hand and gently caressed his face, "Go. Grandmother will always be in Wushan waiting for you. No matter how far you go, Grandmother will be in Wushan waiting for you to return."
Lu Yuan was like a silent child, nodding softly.
Liu Muyan smiled, "Don't lose yourself again this time."
