Chapter 614 Soothing the Wife's Heart
As the fragrance wafted over, Hai Qingyang's pain lessened considerably. He lowered his head, his mind still filled with the tragic scene of Miss Ren dying in front of him.
"Your Majesty, Miss Ren is dead."
He spoke slowly.
Du Wanchun wasn't surprised and continued to ask him, "What did you see?"
Hai Qingyang told Du Wanchun everything that had happened on the mountain. He was afraid that he hadn't explained it clearly enough, so he described what the flower looked like again and again.
Du Wanchun's eyes gradually showed surprise. She stood up and continued to ask, "Besides that, did you see anything else?"
Hai Qingyang shook his head.
Du Wanchun walked to the incense burner, slowly covered it, and turned around to say, "Remember this, and don't mention it to anyone. Just pretend you never went to Qilin Mountain."
Hai Qingyang knew the gravity of the situation and nodded emphatically.
Du Wanchun took out two more pills and handed them to him. "Take one tonight and another tomorrow morning. You should be out of danger, but your injuries will take time to heal. Listen to Mianmian; she's a good doctor."
Hai Qingyang replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Du Wanchun turned and left the room, specifically instructing the eunuchs to take good care of him before she left.
After leaving Hai Qingyang's room, she went straight back to her own palace. She appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, she was filled with worry.
Her mind was filled with the flower that Hai Qingyang had mentioned.
Judging from all the signs, it was definitely not an ordinary flower, and it might even have some connection to me.
“Wan Chun”.
Just as Du Wanchun was filled with worry, Zhou Ruiyuan came in from outside. He had been in the imperial study, but upon hearing that Hai Qingyang had returned, he immediately came to Du Wanchun's palace.
Du Wanchun turned around, "Ruiyuan, what brings you here?"
Zhou Ruiyuan walked slowly to her with his hands behind his back, then took out a small box and said, "Here, take a look."
Du Wanchun took it in her hand with a puzzled look. "What's this?"
Zhou Ruiyuan said softly with a smile, "Open it and take a look."
Du Wanchun lowered her head and opened the box, revealing a fine luminous pearl inside.
She looked up in surprise and asked, "What is this?"
Zhou Ruiyuan walked to her side and looked at the luminous pearl together, saying, "This was found by Lord Li from the ocean. I think it suits you very well."
Du Wanchun held the egg-sized luminous pearl in her hand and laughed, "This thing would be a bit too big if it were made into a hairpin."
Zhou Ruiyuan gripped the luminous pearl tightly and smiled, "Wait a moment."
After he finished speaking, he ordered the palace maids in the hall to draw all the curtains.
Not long after, the once brightly lit hall suddenly darkened.
Du Wanchun looked up at the window and asked, "Ruiyuan, what's wrong?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Ruiyuan walked up to her and opened the luminous pearl in his hand. "Look."
Du Wanchun looked down and saw that the moment Zhou Ruiyuan opened his hand, the luminous pearl emitted a silvery-white light, just like the bright moon in the night sky, dazzling and eye-catching.
Du Wanchun had seen many beautiful sights in the world, but she was still shocked at this moment. The silvery light shimmered with iridescent colors, as if carrying a rainbow rising after the rain.
She couldn't help but reach out and touch the light.
Zhou Ruiyuan held her outstretched hand and asked softly, "Do you like it?"
Du Wanchun smiled and nodded, then raised her other hand and gently touched the luminous pearl. "I didn't expect it could actually glow."
Zhou Ruiyuan said, "Otherwise, why would it be called a luminous pearl?"
Du Wanchun held the luminous pearl in her hand and examined it carefully. "In a few days, I will have someone make a lampshade and embed this in it. That way, even without the luminous pearl, it can still provide light at night."
“Alright, whatever you want, I’ll send someone to make it right away.” Zhou Ruiyuan looked at her intently, as if she were more attractive than the luminous pearl.
Du Wanchun thought for a moment and then smiled and said, "I'll draw it myself."
As she spoke, she turned around, placed the luminous pearl on the table, took out paper and pen, and carefully drew it stroke by stroke.
All the gloom from before vanished in an instant.
When Zhou Ruiyuan saw her smile, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled.
After Du Wanchun finished her painting, he finally got down to business, saying, "Lord Ren did not object to my decision to make you empress during the morning court session today."
Du Wanchun paused, her hand holding the painting still. She had no interest in the Empress's position, so she had never cared about this matter. Hearing Zhou Ruiyuan say this, she suddenly thought of Hai Qingyang's words, "Mr. Qingyang said that Miss Ren has died on Qilin Mountain."
Zhou Ruiyuan was not surprised. "The servants and maids who went with us to Qilin Mountain came to the Ren residence early this morning to report the death."
"Lord Ren seemed to have expected this, and was not very surprised. However, he was so heartbroken that he left in a hurry before finishing the morning court session."
Du Wanchun looked up and said, "Ruiyuan, there's something in Qilin Mountain, I'm afraid..."
Before she could finish speaking, Zhou Ruiyuan hugged her and said, "Don't be afraid. No matter what monsters or demons are inside, I'll burn them all down."
