At that time, Yu Ying's eyes were filled with worry and expectation for Yu Mei's future.
With a sincere heart, she solemnly promised in front of Yu Ying that she would take good care of Yu Mei and protect the child from the wind and rain.
Give her a safe and secure place to live, so that she can have a peaceful haven in this chaotic world.
However, the trajectory of fate is always unpredictable, full of countless unknowns and variables.
At that time, Qin Qianluo went to great lengths, using all the connections and resources she could access.
Like searching for a dazzling pearl in a vast sea of smoke, we inquired everywhere to find Yu Mei's whereabouts.
But each search was like a stone sinking into the sea, leaving no trace, and they were never able to find even a trace of Yu Mei.
That anxiety and helplessness weighed heavily on her heart like a boulder, making it difficult for her to eat or sleep.
Only now, as if the clouds had parted to reveal the clear sky, did we realize with astonishment that this child had been living quietly all along.
Like a ghost lurking in the darkness, it quietly sneaked into the heavily guarded Crown Prince's residence.
When everyone finally found and captured Yu Mei, the scene that unfolded before them was truly moving.
Yu Mei was sitting gracefully in the solemn main hall of the Crown Prince's residence.
Her posture was upright and elegant, like a plum blossom blooming in the cold wind, exuding a cool and noble temperament.
She exuded an elusive aura of tranquility, like a bottomless pool, its surface calm but containing boundless depth.
She remained calm and composed as the soldiers surged in like a tidal wave to arrest her.
It was as if I were in another world, oblivious to everything happening around me.
She didn't even lift her eyelids slightly, her eyes revealing a detached indifference to the world.
It was as if these heavily armed officers and soldiers, who were on high alert, were nothing but an illusion, completely unrelated to her world.
This extraordinary calmness is like a towering iceberg, exuding an awe-inspiring aura and making it difficult to discern its true thoughts and emotional fluctuations.
Until Qin Qianluo stepped into the hall with steady steps.
Yu Mei's originally calm face was now like a stone thrown into a still lake, causing slight ripples.
The moment she saw Qin Qianluo, a strong sense of familiarity, like an electric current, surged within her, as if an invisible force was drawing her in.
At that moment, she truly believed that the graceful and extraordinary woman in front of her was her mother, whom she had been thinking about day and night.
After all, the two looked so alike that they were like two exquisite masterpieces meticulously sculpted from the same mold.
Whether it's her delicate and expressive eyebrows and eyes, which seem to hold the stars and the sea, or her gentle yet resolute facial contours.
They are all like masterpieces of nature's artistry, identical in style, leaving people in awe.
After Yu Mei emerged from the dark and mysterious secret room of Linglong Pavilion.
Like a puppet manipulated by the hand of fate, Shou Zhuo silently sent her into the Crown Prince's residence like a chess piece.
Previously, she had heard many legendary stories about King Jinrui Zhao in the streets and alleys, and those stories were passed down by word of mouth.
Like a dazzling star, she was filled with curiosity and imagination about this mysterious figure, and she had sketched out Qin Qianluo's appearance countless times in her mind.
However, I have never had the opportunity to see its true appearance.
At this moment, hearing the officers and soldiers respectfully and reverently address the person in front of her as King Jinrui Zhao, Yu Mei suddenly realized that the person in front of her was not her biological mother.
Moreover, she possessed keen insight honed through years of navigating the complex and unpredictable environment of brothels.
With just one glance, she could clearly see that King Jinrui Zhao had not experienced childbirth.
At first, Qin Qianlu thought of the deep affection between her and Yu Ying, and the solemn promise she had made to Yu Ying in front of her.
He had already made up his mind to properly settle Yu Mei in his own residence.
She thought to herself that although she couldn't let Yu Mei enjoy the finest food and drink in the world and live a life of extravagance like royalty, she still wanted to do so.
But with his own abilities, he can at least create a warm and peaceful little world for Yu Mei under his protection.
Ensuring her comfort and allowing her to live a peaceful life would fulfill that weighty verbal promise and live up to Yu Ying's dying wish.
However, life is unpredictable, and the gears of fate always turn unexpectedly.
Yu Mei's next words, however, were like a sudden, sweeping storm, instantly shattering Qin Qianluo's beautiful plans.
Yu Mei revealed that she had also participated in and contributed to the earth-shattering conspiracy that led to the replacement of Crown Prince Xiao by Shou Zhuo, a conspiracy that concerned the fate of the nation.
This news struck Qin Qianluo like a bolt from the blue, with a deafening roar.
To murder the crown prince is no ordinary matter; it is a serious crime that could shake the very foundation of the nation and threaten the very survival of the country.
This crime, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, will inevitably stir up ripples and trigger a series of unpredictable consequences.
Such a serious crime made it impossible for Qin Qianluo to keep Yu Mei in the mansion any longer, even though her heart was filled with helplessness, regret and struggle.
For a moment, the two stood facing each other, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze, so quiet that only their slightly rapid breathing could be heard.
