Chapter 275 - 273. Finally...I Found You (1/2)

Third-person POV

The moment the Weisheng's dark power in the box released, Meiyun's body trembled.

”Turn right!” Meiyun shouted.

Di Sahng immediately pulled the rein and turned sharp right as Meiyun commanded. They galloped towards the top of the mountain and a few seconds later a similar thunder from the main base stroke once again at the direction they were heading to.

”What was that?!” Di Shang who had been silent all this time finally spoke up.

”It was His Majesty Emperor…” Meiyun said in low voice but Di Shang could hear her loud and clear.

His face instantly scrunched up into a frown, ”How is that possible?”

Weisheng was supposed to be in the Royal Palace, which was what Di Shang thought. Meiyun understood what Di Shang was thinking and she was in his position she would think so too. But since Meiyun had a tiny bit of Weisheng's power in her, she could recognize Weisheng's power even without a need to look at it.

”Do you remember the orb that His Majesty Emperor gifted His Highness Prince Zhang?” Meiyun asked Di Shang as a reply to Di Shang's question.

”En.” Di Shang nodded his head.

”It is a tool to summon His Majesty Emperor. However, not anyone can use it, not even a handful of people.” Meiyun summarized.

Di Shang pondered for a while and felt what Meiyun said made sense. Weisheng was known to have a unique dark power and of course, the person that most closely related to Weisheng was the twin. Therefore, without a doubt, they would inherit some of his power.

Di Shang also noticed how Meiyun reluctantly spoke to him about the matter thus he didn't inquire Meiyun any further as to not give her any burden. He didn't mind how Meiyun sometimes could be very secretive. Although they had been husband and wife for more than a decade, he still respected Meiyun's private life.

He thoroughly understood that people had at least one or two secrets that couldn't be told to anyone, even if it was their closest. Just like Meiyun, Di Shang also had been keeping this one secret from Meiyun.

The fact that he knew a secret that Meiyun had desperately hidden from him. He pretended to be a fool in front of Meiyun, to make her feel better and assured. However, behind the calm pretense, Di Shang was anxious every single second. Di Shang dispatched countless personnel to find information about the disease that slowly eating away his wife's body.

But luck wasn't on his side, it took him 8 years only to find out that the disease was incurable. Nevertheless, Di Shang never gave up. He wouldn't be swayed by some words spewed from the physicians' lips.

Di Shang went all out, he even dared to participate in the underground market in hope that he could find a rare herb that could possibly heal the disease or at least slow down the progression of the disease. Every herb that was auctioned would be bought by Di Shang in anonymous, then he would bring the herbs to the Imperial Academy to do research on the herbs whether it could be used as a cure.

While waiting for the cure to be found, Di Shang would make Meiyun drink body nourishing concoction and he would diligently watch Meiyun gulp down the concoction till the last drop.

Meiyun always insisted Di Shang to give her child but Di Shang refused and when they were consummating, he would not come inside her. He would pull out at the last second and this made Meiyun frustrated.

Furthermore in this era, having no child was a disgrace to a married woman as they would be stamped as infertile by the society, and Meiyun didn't want to disappoint her in-laws. She could see their longing for grandchild thus she was very burdened by Di Shang's stubbornness. Fortunately, Di Shang explained his reasoning behind his behavior to Meiyun and Di Shang's parents didn't mind it at all.
