Today, not only did Gu Nuo’er investigate and expose the matter, She even brought the villains to justice ruthlessly.
She caused everyone who had harmed the late empress back then to be punished.
The haze in Gu Yihan’s heart was completely swept away.
This was because he understood that it wasn’t that his mother didn’t want him back then!
Now, there was only deep shame and regret that as a son, he couldn’t be filial.
At this moment, Gu Yihan felt his small head on his knees move.
He came back to his senses and looked at his daughter. His voice was hoa.r.s.e as he said, “Nuo’er, are you tired? Father will carry you.”
Gu Nuo’er originally only wanted to change her position and lie down. Her neck felt a little sore.
However, she knew that her father was feeling sad now, so she couldn’t bear to disturb him.
The child quickly waved her fair hand. “There’s no need, Father. Nuo’er isn’t tired at all.”
She looked up and saw that her father’s eyes were red.
All along, the outside world had always called Gu Yihan an iron-fisted emperor.
In the past, Gu Yihan had personally led troops to war and suffered injuries of various sizes without even frowning!
Since the child was born, she had never seen him cry.
It turned out that it wasn’t that he didn’t cry, but that he hadn’t been struck at his grief points.
The loneliness of losing his mother at a young age made the usually decisive emperor’s eyes turn red.
The child held her father’s fingers with heartache. “Father, don’t be sad.
Imperial Grandmother must be very gratified now. We’ve all avenged her! ” Gu Yihan smiled, his eyes flickering with sorrow.
He bent down and picked the child up. “Nuo’er is right. We’ve all avenged Mother, but it’s a pity. It would be great if she was still around.” n.o.ble Consort Qiao had been quietly accompanying him.
Hearing this, she went forward and leaned on Gu Yihan’s shoulder.
“Your Majesty, don’t be sad. Otherwise, G.o.dmother’s heart will ache when she sees you like this.”
Gu Nuo’er’s voice was soft. “Father, do you know that after your relatives pa.s.s away, they will become everything in this world?”
“She might become the wind, a flower, a ray of sunlight that illuminates you,
or a small star. Or perhaps, Grandmother might even become a b.u.t.terfly.”
“When you don’t, she has actually been by your side and watching you grow.
They didn’t leave and just existed in a different way.”
The child tugged at his sleeve. “Father, I have a gift for you. Are you willing to go to the cold palace with me to take a look now?” Gu Yihan knew that his daughter wanted to comfort him.
Because of the child’s words, his heart felt even warmer.
He smiled gently and said, “Alright, Father is also looking forward to Nuo’er’s gift.”
Gu Nuo’er’s eyes immediately lit up. She looked at Wanxuan. “Elder Sister Wanxuan, according to what I said before, help me get the painting and send it to the cold palace.”
Wanxuan quickly nodded. “Yes, Your Highness.”
When n.o.ble Consort Qiao saw Wanxuan leave in a hurry, she smiled in confusion. “Why are we going to the cold palace?” “Mother and Father will know when you come with me.”
The family of three quickly arrived at the cold palace.
It was the end of spring, a beautiful season of falling flowers, long gra.s.s, and flying orioles,
However, the cold palace was still desolate and filled with dilapidated pavilions.
Gu Nuo’er brought Gu Yihan and n.o.ble Consort Qiao to the part of the cold palace where the late Empress Chi lived before she pa.s.sed away. Wanxuan presented the painting and the child waved her hand.
Two palace servants slowly unrolled the painting.
Gu Yihan smiled and was waiting to admire the painting at first. Just as the painting was fully presented in front of him…
His smile suddenly froze, his eyes filled with disbelief..
