Chapter 456 The Last Wish
After enjoying seven days of care from his son and new daughter-in-law, Bai Wutong got on the carriage again.
It came in a convoy, but left as a lone carriage.
Bai Wutong only packed some daily necessities that he needed and did not take anything else.
Setting out on the return journey again, Bai Wutong had completely let go of everything.
Now she has done everything she should do, and her four children have their own families. Without any worries, it is time to live for herself.
Come to think of it, she is only in her early thirties this year and still has plenty of time.
The carriage traveled slowly for nearly two months and finally returned to the capital before the first snow.
Yunhe had been waiting at the palace gate long ago. The moment he saw Bai Wutong, he instantly restrained his imperial aura and seemed to have turned into a handsome young man again, "Mother, you are finally back."
"Well, let's go back. I also have something to tell you."
Return to Yongshou Palace after a long absence.
Bai Wutong completely relaxed physically and mentally.
Although the outside world is nice, it is not as good as the place where I have lived for many years.
Living here, you don't have to worry about anything.
Without other palace servants around to get in the way, Yunhe immediately became like a well-behaved son, "Mother, you've been gone for such a long time this time, I miss you so much. Zhaoyang basically comes to the palace several times a month to ask when you'll be back!"
As soon as the words fell.
Yunxi has also arrived.
As soon as he entered the room, he bowed and said, "Mother, Zhaoyang has learned about your return and is on his way."
"Okay, you three will be here soon, and I'll have something to say."
An hour later.
Zhaoyang finally arrived.
She was still as innocent as before, and it seemed that even after getting married, she was still living a good life. "Mother, you are finally back. I missed you so much. I wanted to go to the border to see you and Yunyang many times."
"I'm back now, right? Come, let's have lunch together today."
During the meal, the atmosphere was harmonious with the mother being loving and the children being filial.
Bai Wutong finally got down to business, "I will only stay for a few months this time. I will leave the capital after the spring."
"Why?" Zhaoyang suddenly became anxious. She had always grown up with her mother and didn't want to enter the palace without anyone to talk to.
Although Yunhe is the eldest brother, he is also the emperor and has a lot of affairs to deal with.
The second brother Yunxi is now also a prince and has to assist in the government affairs, so he is naturally very busy.
If Bai Wutong also left, then when she entered the palace in the future, she would only be able to chat with Concubine De and Concubine Hui. But could that be the same as her own mother?
"I have been in the palace for so many years, and have been with you for so many years. Now I don't want to stay in these palace walls anymore. I want to go outside and take a look. It's a good opportunity for me to tell you something..."
As soon as these words came out.
All three children were motionless.
They are not so selfish as to require Bai Wutong to stay in the palace.
After a long while, Yunhe finally spoke, "Mother, please tell me what's going on first."
"Okay, but you have to be mentally prepared."
Bai Wutong was not going to keep his background secret forever, as that would be unfair to these children.
Besides, they are now strong enough to deal with any difficulties they may encounter in the future.
She talked about her identity, why she entered the palace, the tragic deaths of her father and mother, and many unknown things about them when they were still young.
An hour passed while he was talking.
Yun and the other two remained silent, obviously not having fully digested the news.
They...are actually the descendants of Li Nu!
In other words, the blood in their bodies is not entirely human!
Even though Bai Wutong has exchanged his Taoism for a human body, some things cannot be changed!
"I'm telling you after all these years, and it's for your own good." Bai Wutong was not afraid that they would not believe him. Some things could be found out by just checking.
Besides, she would never lie in front of her children.
"So I didn't belong here from the beginning, but to the vast world outside. I want to go back to the place where I lived before, and I also want to take my father and mother to see more places. My father once said that he would take me to many places, including the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River to taste the fish there..."
Hearing this, the three children felt very uncomfortable.
Zhaoyang was kindhearted to begin with, and now his eyes were filled with tears. "Mother, you have suffered."
Bai Wutong gently stroked her black hair. "Don't worry about your life experience. You grew up among humans. Unlike me, you are not always wary of humans. So you can live like before. What's more, you were born with human bodies. Except for a few raccoon bloodlines, there is nothing else left."
Zhaoyang leaned in her arms, and kept acting coquettishly, "Mother, no wonder I have had a sensitive nose since I was a child, so this is how it is. I'm really curious about what it's like to live as a cat slave."
"Don't think about it. Live the way you want. You are the only princess of Darong Country. No one can do anything to you."
"Mother is right. I have no objection to you leaving the capital. Otherwise it would be unfair to you."
Yunhe also nodded in agreement, "Yes, mother, if you want to go out and relax, go ahead. I will arrange for someone to protect your safety."
Yunxi had the same attitude. He knew Bai Wutong's past and how difficult her life was. How could he ask Bai Wutong to stay in the palace for his own selfish reasons? If he really did so, it would be unfilial of him!
"You are all good children. After this year, when spring comes, I will leave. But don't worry, I will send you letters wherever I go. If you have anything you want to say, you can leave it at the post station. Whenever I pass by a post station, I will go in to see if there is any letter left by you."
Bai Wutong thought of her childhood again. Even if she couldn't go back, she wanted to satisfy herself as much as possible. "Wait until my mother has had enough fun and comes back naturally."
