Chapter 539: The Emperor Who Ran Away III

When he was sober, the old master would grab things to throw at Qing Yan.

When he was confused, he could not recognize anyone and would just toss around like an old child.

“Qing Yan, she…”

“Young Master. Lady Qing Yan is still the same as usual. No matter how the old master treats her, she still serves him well—preparing meals and feeding him medicine. She even visits many places to buy the spirit herbs for him just to make him feel better.”

Mu Ling’s heart suddenly hurt, and his eyes were filled with sympathy. “She has suffered all these years. I often come here to wait for Suyi. Yet, she has no complaints about it and continues serving my father at home, but Father…”

If it was not for that incident, maybe his father would not have hated Qing Yan so much.

At that time, Qing Yan’s mother who was also his aunt gave his mother a medicine that would cause dystocia. His mother died when she gave birth to his brother. His second brother was lucky enough to survive, but he had always been sick and could never go outside.

His father had investigated it for a long time, but still, he did not find out who the culprit was. Until many years later… Eldest Aunt accidentally revealed that she was the one who had poisoned her sister!

His mother was dead. How could he not hate her? He hated his eldest aunt… No, that vicious woman was not worthy to be his eldest aunt!

Nevertheless, Qing Yan was innocent.

At that time, Qing Yan was only two or three years old.

What could she know?

If Qing Yan knew that the woman would poison his mother, she would certainly stop it due to her kindness!

Therefore, the previous generation’s hatred should not be suffered by the next generation.

Qing Yan had been working hard for his family for many years and had children for the family. He could never marry her as a wife due to his father’s objection. She could only be his concubine!

She had endured so much, was it not enough?

Why did his father still hurt her when he was sober? Even Suyi was wilful to drive Qing Yan away without knowing her grievances!

Qing Yan had offered so much to him. She would even risk her life for him! Thus, he must have a conscience!

If not, he did not qualify to be a man!

“Forget it.” Mu Ling smiled wryly. “I shall return. Go and find out the girl’s identity immediately and come back to me.”

“Yes, Young Master.”

After Han Ying responded, he immediately disappeared.

Mu Ling looked in the direction in which Suyi had left. He regained his composure after quite a while and went in a different direction.

Liu Yun Kingdom.

At the imperial court.

The imperial court was silent.

The silence was very deafening.

Everyone squinted and looked at the woman sitting next to Feng Ruqing in disbelief. Everyone was astonished and stunned.

The woman wore a phoenix coronet and the robes of rank. She was fascinating and beautiful, just like she was decades ago—magnificent and majestic as usual.

“Ministers! There is something that I want to announce this morning. The empress is back!”

His voice was like a heavy stick that knocked on everyone’s head.

The ministers’ bodies were shaking, and they were in disbelief.

‘Empress… Isn’t the empress dead? How can she be alive?’

But there was one thing that could not be denied—the ministers were full of joy when they heard about Empress Nalan’s return.

Because this…was their empress!

As long as she was there, no one dared to encroach on the empress position of Liu Yun Kingdom!

Back then, many ministers were very dissatisfied with Nalan Yan being Feng Tianyu’s favorite. They thought that the emperor should treat other concubines equally too.
