However, the maid's hand suddenly shook and accidentally tugged on Imperial Concubine Yu's scalp until it hurt. She turned to look, only to discover that the maid had a strand of hair in her hand. Seeing that she had discovered it, she still wanted to hide it.

Imperial Concubine Yu said flatly, ”Hand it over!”

The maid's expression changed to one of extreme terror as she plopped to her knees. ”Empress …”

”Hand it over!” Her voice was harsh.

The servant girl held the thing in her hands nervously. It was a strand of hair, but it was no longer black. Instead, it was white. Empress, spare me! ” Servant girl kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Imperial Concubine Yu extended her hand and took the white hair, examining it for a moment. She raised her head to look at herself in the mirror. No matter how well she was maintained, age still left a mark on her body.

She suddenly stood up, grabbed the powder from the dressing table and ruthlessly smashed it on the bronze mirror. The image in the bronze mirror instantly became distorted. She looked at the sinister expression on her face, as if she was burning with anger.

Just six hours ago, she found out the whereabouts of her son!

Then, she fell silent!

After a long time, she was speechless. After bathing and changing her clothes, she even put on makeup and went to Chunyu Hong's royal study to pay respects. A smile blossomed on her face, but there was still a trace of worry in her eyes.

She concealed her feelings well.

While accompanying Chunyu Hong to eat, she even asked Chunyu Hong for a favor, saying that Chunyu Hao had gone crazy somewhere and had disappeared for many days, and hoped that His Majesty would send someone to search for him.

Chunyu Hong's eyes froze. He looked over at her. ”You have no news?”

”Earlier, he mentioned Yanran's death and that he would be out for a while. Chenqie thought that since his son has grown up, it's time for him to take care of some matters. However, it's been three months and there's no news at all. No matter what Your Majesty says, Hao'er is still our son in the end. You … ”

Chunyu Hong understood what she meant. She hoped that he could mobilize the dark guards, but a long time ago, he received news that Chunyu Hao had died, killed in that great fire three months ago.

Looking at the person nestled by her side, she had accompanied him for more than twenty years and had always served him to her heart's content.

However, he knew the cause and effect of this matter. Jin Yu Lie had killed Chunyu Hao, and in the end, he had brought this upon himself. Facing Jin Yu Lie, he couldn't say anything, but he had forgotten Imperial Concubine Yu who was Chunyu Hao's mother.

He originally wanted to tell her that Chunyu Hao was no longer here and that the fire had burned everything and left behind a lot of bones, but he couldn't tell which one was Chunyu Hao's.

This result was a bit cruel to Imperial Concubine Yu.

Chunyu Hong could only temporarily agree to send more people to search for Chunyu Hao for her.

Imperial Concubine Yu rose gracefully to her knees in thanks.

After leaving the royal study, she returned to her own bedroom. Along the way, all the smiles had frozen into nothing, replaced by an incomparable solemnity.

There was a resentful look in his eyes.

Back in her bedroom, she sat in front of the bronze mirror.

It was only until she saw the white hair in the palace maid's hands that all her emotions were let loose at that instant. She was very strong in her life, but the heavens had only given her one son, the only son. Even if he wasn't intelligent and acted extremely rashly, this was still her only hope.

As long as she was here, she believed that as long as her Yu Clan bloodline was strong backing, she would still be able to live an extremely comfortable life after her son ascended to the throne.

But now, Chunyu Hao was gone, her hope was gone!

This was all done by Jin Yu Lie and Mu Wan Yun!

Her fist slammed into the table, her nails digging into the flesh of the table. Blood trickled out, but she did not feel anything.

She was old, and it was impossible for her to have children again. As a result, she had lost everything …

”Esteemed Empress, your hand …” The maid was so frightened that her face paled when she saw blood trickling out of her palm.

Imperial Concubine Yu didn't mind at all. The only thought in her mind was to pay back the debt of blood!

She wanted to make Jin Yu Lie and Mu Wen Yun suffer the pain that she had to endure!

Everything she had suffered must be repaid a thousand times over!

Imperial Consort Yu took a long time to calm down. She let the maidservants help her tidy up, abandoning her shoulders, and only brought her confidante and palace maid with her as she walked out of her bedroom.

She was wearing a hooded cloak and it was the end of summer. The weather was slightly cold, but it was very soothing. To Imperial Concubine Yu, however, her entire body was cold as if she had fallen into winter!

”Empress, where are you going?” Su Jie asked in a low voice while holding Imperial Concubine Yu's arm.

Imperial Concubine Yu raised her eyes to look at her surroundings. Under the night sky, the imperial palace was exceptionally quiet. However, she wasn't in the mood to enjoy such a beautiful scenery. A flame of vengeance burned in her heart.

A moment later, she said in a cold voice, ”To the Queen's Middle Palace!”
