Chapter 2343: Chapter 2340: Meeting the Dowager Empress
The starting point was also the desire to stand in a high position to protect my family, but ultimately, it was her arrogance that set her eyes on that position.
Even if Father and Mother do not support her, she will continue forward. Although it’s difficult, she has no regrets.
"Mother, don’t worry, I have no regrets." Chu Ziluo raised her head, wiped away her tears, her gaze becoming more determined.
Ye Muyu said nothing more. As children grow up, they will have their own lives. As long as she does nothing wrong, no matter what choice she makes, she will support her.
As for now, she just wants to spend more time with Chu Heng. Even if he can’t respond to her, it doesn’t matter. As long as he is alive, she is satisfied.
"Mother, please rest well, don’t overexert yourself. I will head back now."
Before leaving, Chu Ziluo turned and hugged her once more.
Ye Muyu rested her chin on her shoulder, only then realizing, she had grown up.
Chu Ziluo turned and went out, quietly closing the room door.
Ye Muyu glanced out the window at the snow-white world.
She placed two pots of Evergreen Leaf by the window, adding a touch of green to the room.
She rubbed her eyes, placed the needle basket on the shelf beside the screen, came back, heated the brazier a bit more, then took off her shoes, curled up, lay on the other side of the bed, hugged Chu Heng with both hands, feeling the pulse of his heartbeat, only then did she sleep peacefully.
At this moment, Chu Heng looked at the unfamiliar world around him, and the strange clothes on his body, the iron boxes and skyscrapers that came and went.
His eyebrows furrowed slightly, his first reaction was to touch his neck. He clearly remembered he had dodged the dagger, it only grazed him. Although the blood loss might be severe, timely treatment should not lead to immediate death.
Only the strange pain from falling off the horse made him have a bad premonition.
Feeling the pulse, Chu Heng’s face turned dark. He instinctively wanted to draw the dagger. Since he inexplicably arrived in this strange world due to his injuries, if he injures himself again, could he return!
Even though he quickly realized this world might be where Ah Yu once existed, Chu Heng felt no happiness in his heart.
Where Ah Yu is, is where he wishes to be.
Great Chu.
On the day of the banquet, Chu Ziluo first visited her parents.
Then she changed into splendid clothes and entered the palace with her maidservants.
She arrived neither late to be considered so, nor early just to appear eager.
Just as she expected, soon after sitting down, someone from the Empress Dowager’s Palace invited her to Cining Palace.
Chu Ziluo stood up and followed the Palace Attendant.
Upon arriving at Cining Palace, she noticed that the guards had been strengthened.
She only glanced, then lowered her brows and walked in.
"Child, come in quickly." The Empress Dowager was also dressed elegantly today, clearly she was about to attend the banquet as well.
She looked kind-hearted, with a faint smile, and gestured to the nanny behind her to offer Chu Ziluo a seat. As she approached, she patted the back of her hand: "Good child, these days have been hard for you, haven’t they?"
"Thank you for your concern, Empress Dowager. This maiden has been praying and wishing, hoping my father awakens soon." Chu Ziluo did not complain, but resiliently smiled at the Empress Dowager.
The more she appeared this way, the more it tugged at the Empress Dowager’s heart: "This child, it’s all the Emperor’s fault for not arranging proper guards, which led to your father’s accident. Rest assured, once your father recovers, Imperial I will ensure the Emperor rewards and compensates him properly."
"Empress Dowager, this maiden dare not accept. Besides, this matter was purely accidental."
