Chapter 194 Villains
Once only the master and servant remained in the room, Xu Feng cautiously asked, "Young Master, are you really sure?"
"I've made up my mind, go and do it!"
Now that things had already begun, how could Luo Yu stop? However, he still felt very bad about his birth mother being criticized.
"Prepare some offerings and come with me to see my mother."
Upon hearing this, Xu Feng glanced at Luo Yu's unseen expression, then turned and retreated.
In the evening, in front of the imperial mausoleum, Luo Yu arranged the offerings neatly and then dismissed everyone around him.
Slowly rising from his wheelchair, Luo Yu first kowtowed to the Princess before saying, "Mother, I have no choice but to do this. It is unfilial of me to cause you unrest in the afterlife, but I have my reasons for doing so. However, please rest assured, Mother, I will not let any of those who have harmed you get away with it."
After saying this, Luo Yu lit three incense sticks and placed them in the incense burner. After the incense and candles had burned halfway, Luo Yu sat back in his wheelchair.
The next day, just as rumors about the eldest princess were spreading like wildfire, Luo Yu, the princess's only son, fell ill.
Although the Crown Prince was always sickly, this time, Crown Prince Luo was critically ill.
Even the emperor personally visited the Duke of Anguo's residence just to see his nephew who was on his deathbed.
"Yu'er, how are you feeling?"
The emperor sat by the bedside, looking at Luo Yu with concern, but even at this moment, Luo Yu was still wearing a Guan Yu mask.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, but I'm afraid, I'm afraid, that Yu'er won't make it through this time."
Luo Yu's voice was weak, but it was clear how serious the person on the bed was.
"Don't talk nonsense, Uncle. Uncle will never let anything happen to you."
The emperor looked at Luo Yu with loving eyes, a tenderness that even his sons had never seen before.
Upon hearing this, Luo Yu shook his head with difficulty, and after a long while, he caught his breath and continued, "Luo Yu's death is not a pity, but Uncle, can you tell me if Mother is really, is the kind of villain who steals other people's love?"
As Luo Yu spoke, he tightened his grip on the emperor's sleeve, his agitated expression heart-wrenching.
Upon hearing this, the emperor was startled. He glanced at the Duke of Anguo without making it obvious, and then said gently, "Yu'er's mother is the best woman in the world. No one in the world can compare to her."
The emperor's words seemed to have a magical power; Luo Yu's emotions indeed calmed down considerably after hearing them, though he also looked exhausted.
Seeing Luo Yu's exhausted appearance, the emperor immediately stood up.
"Alright, stop thinking nonsense and get some rest. Your uncle, the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital, has been summoned; they will cure you."
After saying this, the emperor gently tucked the blanket around Luo Yu, saying, "I will come to see you again tomorrow."
A large group of people saw the emperor off, but when they left the palace, the emperor kept Duke Anguo behind.
"Did you have the rumors circulating on the street spread by someone?"
The emperor's seemingly calm words startled the Duke of Anguo, who immediately knelt down.
"Your Majesty is wise. I knew nothing about this matter. Someone must have deliberately framed me."
As the person involved in the rumors, Duke Anguo was actually the one who least wanted to hear those words, since they portrayed him as a cowardly and weak man who rose to power by picking up used shoes.
Over the years, the Duke of Anguo had enjoyed being fawned over, but suddenly having his past grievances brought up again made him somewhat embarrassed.
