Chapter 281 - 279. Lets Go See Mother III (1/2)
Third-person POV
”We arrived,” Weisheng gently said to Rong Ai.
Rong Ai's brow furrowed in confusion, there was only an eerie-looking huge cave in front of them. She looked around and her face scrunched into a deep frown. This area was not suitable for living, it was only surrounded by tall and dense trees. Even sunlight could hardly seep through the density of the trees. Fortunately, the trees around the cave were chopped off and created some space so the cave would be less humid and more breathable.
”Imperial Mother lives here?” Rong Ai asked with suspicion tone in her voice.
”En. Rong Ai ah, your mother lost her memories. So she doesn't remember anyone here.” Weisheng explained to her without hesitating to reveal everything even though it could hurt the children's heart.
Rong Ai stared at Weisheng in bewilderment. From how Weisheng looked at her with his unfathomable eyes, he wasn't lying at her. She knew her father better than anyone else. He didn't know how to express his feelings. He was very elated that he finally reunited with Hong er but on the other hand, finding out that Hong er had suffered because of his recklessness, made him unable to forgive himself.
”En. I understand.” Rong Ai nodded her head and her lips bent into a gentle smile.
”Your mother has a gentle heart. She still loves you even if she lost her memory. You must not blame her, okay?” Weisheng cooed.
”En. I know this was not Imperial Mother's fault, she didn't leave us because she wants to. Imperial Father, please rest assured.” Rong Ai replied to comfort Weisheng.
She knew well of what happened, none of them could be blamed. The one who was at fault was the evil person who planned this wretched scheme to ruin Da Qi's Royal Family.
Weisheng's heart warmed, 'They got your temperament.'
(A/N: Weisheng means Zhang Wei and Rong Ai got Hong er's kindness and understanding personality as they didn't blame Hong er for not being a presence in their life or Weisheng for not being able to protect Hong er from the kidnappers.)
Although most of the perpetrators were caught and punished for their crime, they were skeptical that the people who collaborated in this big scheme were still lurking in the dark. Thus, they never lower their guard down, nevertheless, Weisheng's opponents never stop targeting him and his family.
They especially took the opportunity where he was at the lowest to attack him in full charge which caused Weisheng to suffer a quite loss. But he was fortunate that his three little bundles of joy were fine. Sensing the familiar aura, Zhang Wei jogged out form the cave and saw the entourage had arrived.
He went to greet Weisheng with a cheerful voice, ”Imperial Father, Rong Ai, all of you are here. Imperial Mother is waiting for you inside.”
Weisheng nodded his head and helped Rong Ai dismount from his horse after he alighted. Seeing that Weisheng had got down from his horse, the soldiers behind him also followed along. Di Shang cleverly commanded the soldiers to arrange their camp around the cave.
