Chapter 796 Numbness

When Emperor Xuanping hurried over with Rong Che.

The blood stains on Lu Chaochao's body had been washed clean, and someone even combed her messy hair neatly and put a small flower on her temples.

The dirty skirt she was wearing could not be changed or washed because the beam of light penetrated her chest, hands and feet.

Then someone brought new clothes and put them on her.

There were tiny and dense wounds on his body, sprinkled with white powder, which was the medicine for wounds in the mortal world.

It was drizzling lightly and it was a bit chilly. Someone was standing in front of the light column at night, stretching out his arms to hold an umbrella for her.

“Princess, just drink some water. This is the wild ginseng that my father picked a few years ago. He was reluctant to sell it and kept it at home as a family heirloom.” When the family was divided up that year, everyone wanted this wild ginseng. The old man almost beat his son to death and wouldn't allow him to move.

Today, he took the initiative to take out this ginseng and asked the old lady to stay up all night to deliver it to the princess.

"We've made it into medicine today. If you drink a few sips, it will not be in vain for our whole family's hard work."

The man was holding an umbrella while his wife was holding a bowl and trying to persuade her earnestly.

Seeing that Lu Chaochao was still neither sad nor happy, the woman's face was full of heartache.

There was really no other way but to use chopsticks dipped in water to moisten her pale and dry lips little by little.

When Emperor Xuanping came over, the woman retreated with the bowl in her hand. Although the man was frightened, he held the umbrella in front of Lu Chaochao without moving an inch.

Emperor Xuanping breathed a sigh of relief and ordered someone to take the medicine bowl.

"Give him a hundred taels of silver, and return a wild ginseng from the palace to him." Although Emperor Xuanping often extorted money from his court officials, he was very generous to the people.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, but the ginseng is a gift from me to the princess. I won't charge you for it, and the princess doesn't want to use it anyway..." The two men waved their hands and stepped back. This was a gift from them.

Emperor Xuanping shook his head and said, "Step down. Chaochao is not the type to embezzle money from the people." She never owed anyone anything.

After hearing this, the two men retreated uneasily with the silver money in their hands.

Rong Che hasn't said a word since he got off the horse.

He walked on the muddy ground, staggering a bit, and the pain on his face was beyond words.

Even when he nearly lost his life on the battlefield, he never shed a tear. But now, as soon as he opened his mouth, the tears could not stop falling.

"My Chao Chao..." Rong Che's heart was torn into pieces.

If Yunniang saw this, I'm afraid the string in her head would break on the spot.

Chao Chao had no idea how much suffering he had endured and how disappointed he was with the three realms. He seemed to have lost his mind, his eyes were dull and lifeless. There was no response to the outside world.

"Chao Chao, Chao Chao... Daddy is here, don't be afraid." Rong Che trembled and wanted to hug her.

But when Chao Chao was touched, although she didn't say anything, her face was distorted with pain and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

"Dad won't touch you, won't touch you. Chao Chao, those ungrateful bastards in the God Realm, how dare they treat you like this!! Is there really no justice in this world?"

"My daughter..." Rong Che looked at her helplessly, not even knowing how to relieve her pain.

Emperor Xuanping's face also turned pale with heartache.

"Pass on my order, and immediately summon all the capable people, no matter what the cost!"

"Chao Chao, my child, you have suffered. How can your emperor father save you..." Emperor Xuanping's eyes were red, and his Chao Chao was heartbroken.

Lu Chaochao still had no response to the outside world. This scene broke everyone's hearts.

The next day, it was dawn.

There were countless scholars and little girls in school clothes running on the streets with stacks of papers in their hands.

Yuzhu shook her numb fingers and her head felt dizzy. Fortunately, there were many people helping her and she finally got everything ready before dawn.

Lu Yuanxiao whispered, "The Lu family has already prepared a carriage to go outside the city. Do you want to go with us?"

"Thank you, Third Young Master." After saying this, Yuzhu hurriedly took two snacks from the dining hall and hurried out.

Yesterday's drizzle was endless, and she looked at the sky with some worry.

"We have prepared some simple meals in the carriage. If Miss Yuzhu doesn't mind, we can have some home-cooked meals together."

"Thank you, Miss Yuzhu, for staying up late to write the book." Lu Yuanxiao thanked her solemnly.

Yuzhu shook her head: "Don't be so polite, Third Young Master. Chaochao is also my life." Everything I learned was for her.

But before the carriage left the city, they heard the hurried news from the Lu family.

My eldest brother, second brother and father have already rushed out of the city. He was the only one in the city, so Lu Yuanxiao had to hurry back to the mansion.

Before his carriage stopped, he saw his mother in front of the door, wearing thin clothes and looking at him helplessly with a desolate look: "Take me to see Chaochao!" As she spoke, she burst into tears.

"Take me to see her!!"

"That's the child I gave birth to and raised! It's the child I risked my life for. Everyone can refuse to see her, but I can't! I'm her mother!" Xu Shiyun was on the verge of collapse, her throat had become hoarse.

"I won't be at peace even if I die without seeing Chao Chao."

Dengzhi held the cloak, tears in her eyes not yet frozen: "Madam, you should take care of yourself first. If the princess saw you like this, she would be worried."

Xu Shiyun shook her head in fear: "No time to delay, no time to delay, I want to see Chao Chao right away."

She was so scared, so scared that it would be too late.

Dengzhi put the cloak on her shoulders. Lu Yuanxiao was still hesitating. Chaochao’s condition might not be good now. Can her mother bear it?

Yuzhu said, "Let the Madam go with us."

"Madam, please eat something to restore your strength, and let's go out of the city together. Chao Chao must be missing his mother very much..."

Xu Shiyun had already nodded, tears streaming down her face: "Yes, yes, yes, I can't let her worry. Dengzhi, quickly ask the kitchen to bring some soup and put some powder on me to make me look more rosy. I can't let Chaochao worry..." Xu Shiyun hurriedly walked towards the mansion.

Lu Yuanxiao wanted to say something, but Yuzhu said softly, "Chao Chao is her blood-related daughter...You hiding it from her is the greatest cruelty to her."

If she doesn't go today, it will be her obsession for the rest of her life and she will never be able to get out of it.

Lu Yuanxiao thought about it and nodded slowly.

Xu Shiyun quickly packed up everything and held a food box in her hand, which contained Chaochao's favorite food.

The carriage creaked as it went out of the city.

Yuzhu lifted the curtain. Everyone on the street was looking down at something, and she frowned slightly.

The gods have handed over the power of life and death to mortals, and I’m afraid they will not give up and have other tricks up their sleeves.

The divine world.

“Immortal Venerable, the mortals were unwilling to take action and were even protected by the Human Emperor.”

Hanchuan didn't seem to be worried at all: "No need to worry."

"They hesitated only because they had not yet...threatened their lives."

"Between life and death, who can endure it?"

"Let us wait and see how she can withstand the wrath of the entire mortal world, hahahaha..."

"Let Lu Chaochao die at the hands of the mortal she loves most."
