Chapter 582 Don’t Follow Me Or I’ll Kill You
Li Suining has been with Zi Tong all the time.
Zi Tong cried for a long time, and finally calmed down a little. She said to Li Suining gratefully, "Sister Suining, thank you for staying with me."
Li Suining shook his head and said, "Brother Zitong, I can't help you with anything right now. All I can do is stay with you."
In fact, Xiaotuanzi felt a little guilty. If she could still observe the stars, could she have predicted the death of her uncle, the beautiful emperor? Maybe she could have prevented it all.
But these days, Xingxing really didn't tell her anything.
She didn't know what was going on.
"Sister Suining, tell me..." Zi Tong asked absentmindedly, "Who could have poisoned my father?"
He really couldn't think of who it could be. Wei Changkong was already dead, so who else would be so eager to let his father leave?
Zi Tong didn't believe what his mother said, but he really couldn't figure out who would have poisoned his father.
"I don't know." Li Suining shook her head in confusion, but soon she encouraged Zi Tong, "But I believe your mother will be able to find out soon and make the decision for your father."
Zi Tong sighed softly, "But the Queen Mother... is obviously quite upset right now. Besides, she usually likes to stay in the Buddhist temple and doesn't know much about the affairs of the court. Even if she wants to investigate... I'm afraid she's powerless."
At this moment, he couldn't help but think of Bai Yu'an and the others. He excitedly grabbed Li Suining's hand and said, "Sister Suining, can you please ask your second brother and the Second Prince to help investigate?"
"Okay, I'll try to tell them." Li Suining agreed immediately, "However, we may leave Dongchu soon, and we may not be able to find out by then."
"It's okay, just do your best." Zi Tong wiped her tears and stood up. "I will find the truth myself. Even if I can't find it now, one day, when I grow up, I will definitely find it out."
"Yes!" Li Suining nodded affirmatively.
The two little guys returned to the front hall together and found that Bai Yu'an and others had already left.
"Brother Zi Tong, I'll go back first. You go and accompany your mother. She must be very sad and really needs you by her side." Li Suining said goodbye to Zi Tong and left quickly.
Zi Tong was walking back and forth outside the palace. He was actually a little afraid of his mother. The eunuch said that his mother was alone inside, saying goodbye to his father.
He thought about it and realized that his father had passed away, and he and his mother were each other's last support. He could no longer be timid, and he should muster up the courage to reassure his mother.
Zi Tong took a deep breath and pushed the door open. He saw his mother sitting by the bed, seemingly wiping her tears.
"Who allowed you in?" Cao Huaping's face instantly turned cold. She stood up and yelled at Zi Tong, "Get out!"
Zi Tong shuddered with fear and subconsciously wanted to turn around and leave, but in a moment, he thought of his mother's sad look just now and felt that he should stay.
He took a deep breath, turned around, closed the door, and slowly walked towards his mother.
"Are you crazy?" Cao Huaping didn't expect Zi Tong to dare to disobey her. She glared at Zi Tong who was walking towards her, "Didn't you hear what I said? Are you deaf?"
Zi Tong sniffed, trying hard to hold back tears, and walked up to Cao Huaping and said, "Mother, my father is gone, and I only have you. Could you please stop pushing me away?"
Cao Huaping's body swayed, and a sharp pain hit her heart. "What nonsense are you talking about? Get out of here!"
"Mother!" At this time, Zi Tong had lost all his rationality, and his heart was filled with longing for maternal love. His father was no longer around, and he really had no one to rely on.
He bravely ran forward and hugged Cao Huaping. This was what he had wanted to do for so many years, but it was also what he had never dared to do.
As far as he could remember, his mother had never hugged him or been close to him. He really hoped that his mother could hug him, even just once.
"What are you doing? Are you crazy?" Cao Huaping's legs were hugged, and her first reaction was to push Zi Tong away, but the child was hugging her too tightly, so she couldn't push him away.
When she stretched out her hand again, she saw Zi Tong looking at her with tears in her eyes. Those eyes... looked very much like Zi Yunlai who had already left the bed.
Cao Huaping suddenly couldn't push Zi Tong away anymore. Even though she didn't want to admit it, in her heart, Zi Yunlai was different, and she had let Zi Yunlai down. Now... even for a while, she would indulge this child.
"Mother!" Seeing that Cao Huaping didn't push him away, Zi Tong immediately hugged her legs and burst into tears, releasing all his sadness and grief.
"Cry, cry as much as you want." Cao Huaping touched the child's head with stiff fingers, turned her face to the side, looked at Zi Yunlai, and shed tears silently.
She sniffed and said, "But, you're done crying today. You're not allowed to cry anymore. You're a little man, the future monarch of Dongchu. You have to stand up and take over the burden from your father."
Zi Tong was sobbing and gasping for breath, and asked intermittently, "Mother, will you...will you find the person who poisoned father? We must avenge father and cannot let him die in such an unclear way."
Hearing this, Cao Huaping's expression became even more sinister, "I've already found that person."
"What?" Zi Tong wiped her tears vigorously, afraid that she had misheard, and immediately asked for confirmation, "Mother, you said... you found the person who poisoned father? Is that true? Who was it?"
Cao Huaping did not answer this question. She was very familiar with the poison that Zi Yunlai was poisoned with, because it was exactly the same poison in her body. Therefore, the person who poisoned her was her sister's daughter, Fuxing.
However, Cao Huaping didn't understand why Fuxing wanted to poison Zi Yunlai at this time. Was it her own idea? Or was it Yuan Xiaonian or Bai Yu'an's idea?
But it doesn't matter. In her eyes, those guys from the Dajin delegation have become corpses. Whether Fuxing is willing to tell the answer or not, they will all die.
"Mother... Queen?" Zi Tong keenly sensed the murderous intent emanating from Cao Huaping, and he couldn't help but feel a little scared. "Mother, are you okay? Who poisoned father?"
Cao Huaping collected her thoughts, looked down at Zi Tong, and said coldly, "Don't worry about this matter. I will handle it myself. What you need to do is..."
She pushed Zi Tong away and glanced at Zi Yunlai on the bed, "Give your father a good funeral!"
After saying that, Cao Huaping strode away without looking back.
"Mother, where are you going?" A huge fear spread in Zi Tong's heart, and he couldn't help but chase after her.
Cao Huaping turned back coldly at the door, "Stop! Don't follow me, otherwise, I will kill you!"
After she said this, she quickly disappeared.
