Chapter 225 Family Reunion Part 2
At this time, there would only be Pei Zhi and the two children.
Xie Changning immediately went to meet him.
The carriage stopped.
Pei Zhi was the first to get off the carriage.
Then came Shen Yubai.
Xie Changning couldn't wait to ask, "Where's Zhuzhu?"
Pei Zhi and Shen Yubai looked at the carriage at the same time, and both of them reached out to help Zhuzhu.
Xie Changning followed their gaze.
Zhuzhu had already gotten off the carriage. She was wearing Pei Zhi's cloak and looked very thin. Xie Changning rushed over and hugged her tightly.
Because she was at the door, she didn't say anything.
As soon as she saw Zhuzhu's face, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
She simply couldn't imagine how much pain her Zhuzhu was in at that time, and how she managed to endure it?
Zhuzhu felt the warmth coming from Xie Changning, and for a moment she was at a loss. Is this her mother?
The prince suddenly forced the emperor to abdicate, but the matter was not over yet.
Pei Zhi had to hurry back, fearing that all the civil and military officials were already on their way to the palace.
He said only a few words and left in a hurry.
Xie Changning finally reacted. She held Zhuzhu's hand tightly and said, "It's cold outside. Let's go home first!"
Zhuzhu nodded. This was her first time to come into contact with the world outside the palace. Everything was very unfamiliar to her. The only person she was familiar with was Chen Yubai.
So, she looked at Chen Yubai frequently.
"Zhuzhu, it's okay. This is your mother. This will be your home from now on." Shen Yubai held her other hand.
Mother Du smiled and said, "Isn't this also the young master's home!"
Xie Changning had already asked someone to clean up the yard for Zhuzhu, but she decided to let Zhuzhu live with her tonight.
"Zhuzhu is injured. Although it is not easy for her to take a bath now, everything will be fine with me here. You should take your sister and give her a good bath first. Then change her into clean clothes. This will make her feel much more comfortable. Then, straighten her hair for her." Shen Yubai instructed carefully.
Xie Changning had already arranged everything.
"Zhuzhu, come on, mother will take you to take a bath and change clothes." She also wanted to see how many injuries her daughter had.
She wanted to write it down one by one.
Then he would get it back a hundredfold from Concubine Qi.
Zhuzhu nodded obediently.
Heat rose in the bathroom.
Looking at the wounds on Zhuzhu's body, Xie Changning cried heartbrokenly. There was not even a piece of intact skin on her daughter's body.
Afraid of scaring Zhuzhu, she covered her mouth tightly with a handkerchief and dared not make any sound.
"Mom, don't cry. I don't feel any pain anymore!" Zhuzhu raised her hand and carefully wiped the tears from her face. Fearing that Xie Changning wouldn't believe her, she smiled at Xie Changning with a curved eyebrow.
Xie Changning felt heartbroken.
"My daughter, you have suffered. I deserve to die for raising someone else's child. You have suffered so much. I am sorry for you..." Hearing Zhuzhu's voice, she could no longer hold back her tears.
"It's not hard. Being able to survive is already good enough. Now Zhuzhu has a brother, a father, and a mother. Zhuzhu is very satisfied!"
Zhuzhu lowered her eyes and said, "As long as mother doesn't dislike Zhuzhu, that's all that matters!"
She was afraid of her face and that it couldn't be healed.
Xie Changning hugged her tightly and said, "Silly child, how could I dislike you? In my eyes, you are the best daughter in the world. No one can compare to my Zhuzhu. I love you so much that I can't say enough."
Zhuzhu's eyes turned red and tears began to fall.
"Don't worry, Mom will find someone to heal the wounds on your body and your face."
Zhuzhu leaned her head against her and nodded slightly.
Chen Yubai asked someone to bring medicine for the wound.
After bathing, Xie Changning carefully applied medicine to his daughter and then straightened her hair.
She did everything for Zhuzhu herself, and the mother and daughter became much closer.
"You stay here with your mother tonight. I'll tell you stories and coax you to sleep, okay?"
Zhuzhu nodded, "Okay."
Mother Du stood by, wiping away her tears. Her daughter was such a good child, yet she was harmed like this by Concubine Qi.
Lying in the soft quilt, her body was warm, the room was warm too, and her mother was by her side, telling her stories. This was an experience Zhuzhu had never had before.
This feeling is so blissful.
She was so happy that she felt unreal.
She leaned in her mother's arms, smelling the unique scent of her mother, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
After Zhuzhu fell asleep, Xie Changning left quietly.
She asked Mother Du to stay here to look after Zhuzhu.
There are also Xie Lin and Xie Nan in secret.
Shen Yubai was already waiting for her in the warm room next door. He briefly told Xie Changning what had happened in the palace in the past two days.
Hearing that he not only poisoned Concubine Qi but also destroyed her appearance, Xie Changning gave him an appreciative look and said, "Yubai, you did well, but this is far from enough. Leave the rest to me and your father."
As she spoke, her expression suddenly darkened. "Yubai, can you heal Zhuzhu's face?"
Shen Yubai said with a serious expression, "I can, I definitely can, even if I have to try every possible way, I will heal Zhuzhu's face."
He paused and said, "You don't need to blame yourself. This is not your fault. Zhuzhu will never blame you, and neither will I."
Xie Changning's nose felt sore. "Even if you don't blame me, I still can't forgive myself."
Shen Yubai sighed softly. He walked forward and gently hugged Xie Changning, "Mother, you have to learn to let yourself go."
In fact, she is the one who suffers the most.
She is also the one who blames herself the most.
She is also the person who is most unable to forgive herself.
Xie Changning suddenly raised her eyes and looked at him in disbelief, "Yubai, you finally acknowledge me as your mother!"
Her voice trembled violently.
"Mother, I didn't deny you, I just... couldn't say these two words at the moment!" Because he had never called her mother since he was a child.
Xie Changning smiled with tears in his eyes.
Thank God for giving her such a wonderful pair of children.
In the palace.
The defeat was like a landslide, all the traitors had been killed, leaving only the prince. The long sword in his hand kept dripping blood, and he looked at the broken corpses on the ground with grief in his eyes.
I could hardly believe that I was defeated so easily.
Such a complete defeat.
He was surrounded by layers of black guards, and not far away were countless archers with their bows and arrows aimed at him.
His hand trembled, and the blood-stained sword fell to the ground.
Several guards immediately rushed forward and captured him.
The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. He has nothing to say.
At this moment, the only thing he was worried about was Pei Zhi. If he was defeated, Pei Zhi's situation would definitely not be much better than his. He might even have died in the line of duty.
"You rebellious son, how dare you do such a thing? Do you want to kill your father?" His Majesty slapped him several times on the face.
"Come here! Throw this traitor into the prison and wait for your punishment."
All civil and military officials have entered the palace.
The prince said nothing and let the guards take him away. Suddenly, he saw Pei Zhi among the civil and military officials, and he stopped in his tracks.
Pei Zhi also saw the prince, and he curled his lips slightly.
The next moment.
The prince was furious, "Pei Zhi, it's you!"
