Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
At night, the moonlight was faint, and thin clouds lingered around.
The cold palace was not like the other palaces.
Even the moonlight here seemed even colder.
The surrounding halls were dilapidated and bleak, illuminating the place even more clearly.
Gu Nuo’er stood in front of a hall.
There was a brazier in front of the child, flames lit up.
Her small hand grabbed a stack of incense papers and she threw them into the brazier.
Immediately, the flames grew bigger.
It illuminated the child’s black and watery eyes with an extremely lively glow.
Ye Siming was standing behind her.
The youth had accompanied her here.
Ye Siming said calmly, “After that palace maid was brought to the torture chamber, she was interrogated with torture. She confessed in just five minutes.”
Gu Nuo’er’s voice was soft. “What did Grand Consort Yu ask her to do?”
“She had her get some needles and thread. Grand Consort Yu wants to pretend to be crazy and sew a set of inner clothes for His Majesty from when he was young.”
The child pouted in disdain. “Father has already grown up, but she still wants to play the emotional card.”
At this moment, a gust of wind blew past.
It blew up the ashes from the brazier.
Ye Siming reached out his hand to block, and the ashes circled around Gu Nuo’er.
There was a faint arrogance and disdain in the youth’s eyes. The flames in his eyes flickered, making them look even deeper.
“Under such interrogation, there was another unexpected gain. That little palace maid confessed to something. Grand Consort Yu had her forge an imitation key to the private treasury.
“However, after the matter was exposed today, Gu Yongxuan lost his t.i.tle as the prince and vented his anger on the grand consort. The mother and son fell out.”
Gu Nuo’er squatted down and added some incense papers to the brazier.
“Hmph, she must have felt it now. It doesn’t feel good to be hated by your biological son.”
The child looked up with bright eyes.
Her delicate eyelashes fluttered, making her fair face look even more obedient.
“Elder Brother Siming, look here. There are holes in every window. Mother said that the roof here will even leak on rainy days.
“Grandma lived in this house back then. I really want to ask her if she was cold when it snowed.”
At this point, tears started to well up in Gu Nuo’er’s watery eyes.
She rubbed her eyes with her small hands.
She answered herself, “It must be cold. Otherwise, why didn’t she survive the winter snow?”
Gu Nuo’er felt someone hugging her from behind.
Ye Siming placed his chin on her small shoulder.
He didn’t know how to comfort people, but he hugged the child’s body from behind.
“Now, you’re already avenging her. I know that there’s the Netherworld in the three worlds. She’ll definitely know.”
A determined look appeared in the child’s eyes.
She threw all the incense money in her hand into the brazier.
In an instant, the flames rolled extremely high.
Gu Nuo’er looked at the dark room and said firmly, “Imperial Grandma, don’t worry. Since I’m here now, even if you’ve already pa.s.sed away, I won’t let Grand Consort Yu take advantage of you at all!
“I’ll definitely make her pay back what she owes you. This is just the beginning. I’ll deal with Grand Consort Yu and the baddies in her family one by one!” The night wind blew gently.
It was as if someone who had already pa.s.sed away had brought a gentle touch.
The child’s soft hair was blown gently.
Gu Nuo’er sniffed.
Her voice was thick and soft. “If only she wasn’t dead. She would definitely dote on me very much too!”
Ye Siming suddenly raised his eyebrows and almost subconsciously said, “I’ll dote on you too.”
The child blinked in confusion and looked back.
Their eyes met.
“Elder Brother Siming, I’m talking about Imperial Grandmother. Your love for me is different from Imperial Grandmother’s love!”
However, Ye Siming was puzzled.
What was love?
Wasn’t it all the same, to be treating her well?
