The middle-aged woman still felt guilty after hearing what Yu Wenyan said.
"Back then, when Mrs. Qianying learned that the Territory Lord was launching war against the Arctic Medicine Palace, she stayed up all night. Since then, she has often been alone in the stone forest in the back garden of the palace, looking for something.
However, no one paid much attention at first. It was not until the servants taking care of Mrs. Qianying discovered that she had not eaten for a long time that they realized that something was fishy. "
The middle-aged woman stopped here, because she knew that with Yu Wenyan's intelligence, she had already guessed the result.
However, Yu Wenyan still asked quietly.
"What happened next?"
The middle-aged woman finally answered after thinking for a moment.
"Later, I discovered Mrs. Qianying's body in the stone forest. At that time, she only had an old clothes that the young master had left in the palace."
When Yu Wenyan heard this, he clenched his fists and his fingertips dug deeply into his palms...
His heart was trembling and he was struggling hard.
After a long time, the middle-aged woman couldn't help but continue.
"Originally, I thought that the Territory Lord would at least see Mrs. Qianying after returning from the battle. However, I was wrong, because since then, this place has become a cold palace, so that even Mrs. Qianying's death was not noticed in the palace. .
Of course, this is probably the queen's intentional arrangement, otherwise, those servants who had served Mrs. Qianying in the past would not have disappeared from the palace one after another.
In the end, I secretly buried Mrs. Qianying's body in the stone forest, but I could no longer stay in the palace. Fortunately, at that time, I got to know a mute who was responsible for defecating in the palace. "
When the middle-aged woman said this, there was a miserable look in her eyes, but this expression disappeared briefly on her face, and then she continued.
"Then we became husband and wife. In the first few years, I didn't dare to enter the palace at will. It was only in the past few years that I finally plucked up the courage to secretly burn something for Mrs. Qianying."
As she spoke, the middle-aged woman reached out and uncovered a corner of the small bundle in her hand. There were indeed some banknotes and a small paper figure inside.
When Yu Wenyan's eyes fell on the paper figure, the middle-aged woman sighed and said.
"Although there may still be people in the palace who know me in the past few years, fortunately Mrs. Qianying's palace has been abandoned for a long time and will not attract anyone's attention.
I originally thought that you, young master, were no longer alive, so that’s why I did this. I think this is what Mrs. Qianying wanted the most.
However, I am afraid that if there is a fire here at night, I will be discovered, so I can only come here secretly during the day when I am entering the palace with my man and give these things to Mrs. Qianying. "
The middle-aged woman spoke very seriously, because these words had been hidden in her heart for many years, and she did not dare to tell anyone about them. It was not until today that she finally revealed her secrets of so many years.
This made her feel extremely gratified, and at the same time, she was also happy for Mrs. Qianying, because from now on she no longer had to send paper figures to Mrs. Qianying.
After Yu Wenyan heard these words, he bowed deeply to the middle-aged woman and said with gratitude.
"Thank you for everything you have done for my mother. You are my benefactor, Yu Wenyan!"
Seeing this, the middle-aged woman quickly reached out to help him up and said.
"This is what I should do, young master, you don't have to do this."
Immediately, the middle-aged woman looked behind her with some worry, then turned back to Yu Wenyan and said.
"I have been delayed here for too long. I am afraid that my man will be impatient while waiting, so I have to go back quickly. Young Master, you must be careful in the palace."
Yu Wenyan nodded when he heard this, and then the middle-aged woman left in a hurry.
Yu Wenyan could tell from the middle-aged woman's quick steps that she had some cultivation skills, which explained that she was indeed able to escape in the first place, and also proved that what she said was true.
However, what Yu Wenyan was thinking about now was that he wanted to visit the stone forest, so he and Xuan Meng walked towards the garden at the back of the palace...
There is indeed a stone forest here. To be precise, it should be independent large rocks.
Among these stones, there are countless winding paths. Yu Wenyan clearly remembers that he was in this stone forest back then, so that his mother could never catch up with him.
Because only he could accurately write down those complicated paths, so of course he knew what his mother was looking for in the last days of her life.
But now, to Yu Wenyan, these strange-shaped rocks seemed like vicious giants, trapping his mother here forever.
Yu Wenyan slowly walked into the stone forest with Xuan Meng. When he saw the surrounding scene, Yu Wenyan felt both familiar and unfamiliar, because everything here was exactly the same as before, except that his mother was missing.
Xuan Meng unknowingly held Yu Wenyan's hand tightly. She was worried that if Yu Wenyan really found her mother's grave, he would lose control of his emotions and do something unpredictable.
However, her worry was already felt by Yu Wenyan, and then she heard Yu Wenyan sigh and say.
"A lot has happened today. I just want to find my mother and spend some time with her quietly."
Xuan Meng understood the meaning of Yu Wenyan's words, because the appearance of the middle-aged woman just now made them feel as if they had personally experienced the conspiracy and tragedy ten years ago.
Therefore, Yu Wenyan just wants to be quiet now, and can wait until today to talk about everything.
As Yu Wenyan and Xuan Meng continued to search in the stone forest, an upright stone slab appeared in front of them, and behind the stone slab was a small mound.
Perhaps just in case, not only was there no writing on the stone slab, but even the small mound was smoothed as much as possible and was only slightly above the ground, indicating that it was still an earthen tomb.
Yu Wenyan knew that these were all the painstaking efforts of the middle-aged woman. She wanted to keep coming to worship, but she was afraid of being discovered, so she had no choice but to do so.
Yu Wenyan was even more grateful to the middle-aged woman in his heart. At the same time, he and Xuan Meng used their hands to bury the small mound on the ground bit by bit.
Because from now on, there is no need to hide this place anymore. He wants everyone to know that the person buried here is his Yu Wenyan’s mother!
After they finished all this, Yu Wenyan reached out and gently touched the upright stone slab. Then, he carved a series of small characters on the stone slab with his fingertips.
"My child, Yu Wenyan, stands respectfully!"
However, just after Yu Wenyan finished carving these words, he suddenly and clearly felt an extremely friendly atmosphere coming from the stone slab.
Yu Wenyan immediately understood the mystery. He gently scratched his fingertips and slowly soaked his blood into the carvings on the stone slab.
Suddenly, some strange characters were faintly revealed on the surface of the stone slab. These characters were not characters specific to the Yuwen family, nor characters common to the Northern Starry Region, but characters unique to a very secretive family.
Yu Wenyan was no stranger to these characters, because he had known this kind of writing for a long time, so he was a little surprised when he found these writings recorded on the stone tablets.
Immediately, he began to read these words carefully, but he had not yet noticed that when Xuan Meng on the side saw these words, her expression had begun to change in disbelief.
At the same time, after Yu Wenyan read the written records on the stone tablet, he looked back at Xuan Meng behind him with a surprised expression.
At this moment, Xuan Meng's beautiful eyes were filled with tears of pain, and Yu Wenyan asked in even more surprise.
"Can you understand these words?"
Xuan Meng did not deny it, but she also did not answer Yu Wenyan's question. She just slowly closed her beautiful eyes, and two lines of hot tears fell down her cheeks.
Only then did Yu Wenyan realize that Xuanmeng could indeed understand these words. However, he no longer had the intention to dwell on this issue because the things mentioned on this stone tablet made him even more unbelievable.
Yu Wenyan immediately stood up and came to Xuan Meng, stretching out his hands to hug her.
After a long time, Xuan Meng finally calmed down her chaotic and complicated mood. She slowly raised her face and looked into Yu Wenyan's eyes, and asked in confusion.
"Is this true? Why did mother want to save me?"
Yu Wenyan didn't know how to explain to Xuan Meng for a moment, because the words on this stone tablet were indeed written by his mother, which meant that the things his mother mentioned must be absolutely true.
Xuanmeng turned out to be a descendant of the Xuanyue clan, an ancient family in the Beitian Star Territory, and the Xuanyue clan had been destroyed by the Beitian Star Territory more than ten years ago!
The reason Xuan Meng was able to survive was because her mother secretly rescued her. However, Yu Wenyan found it strange that her mother was just a mortal, and how she rescued Xuan Meng from the war.
At the same time, combined with Yu Wenyan's mother's serious expression when she entrusted Xuan Meng to him, it was not difficult for him to guess that her mother had actually discovered that Xuan Meng was different, so she took the risk to rescue Xuan Meng. .
However, more than ten years have passed since all this happened, and Yu Wenyan doesn't know what happened back then.
However, it is a fact that the North Sky Star Territory wiped out the Xuan Yue clan. This means that Yu Wenhai has now become Xuan Meng’s sworn enemy!
Yu Wenyan knew that he no longer had any nostalgia for the Northern Star Territory. However, within this day, he learned many things one after another that made him unable to remain indifferent.
Because whether it is his deceased mother or Xuan Meng who is in great pain at this moment, they are all very important people in his life.
Back then, his mother was plotted against and died in despair. He was bound to make the mastermind pay the price.
However, Xuan Meng's enemy is Yu Wenhai, the domain lord of the Beitian Star Territory, who is also his biological father.
After Xuan Meng saw Yu Wenyan's silence, she gradually understood that Yu Wenyan was now caught between her and his biological father. If it were her, she would also be in a dilemma.
Then, Xuan Meng slowly lowered his head and spoke in a voice as thin as mosquito wire.
"I won't blame you, because he is your father after all, and it was your mother who saved my life, so I can't blame you even more..."
When Xuan Meng said these words, her body was already unconsciously trying to break away from Yu Wenyan's arms. This was the first time she wanted to leave Yu Wenyan's side.
She didn't know how much courage it took for her to do this, but she had to try her best because this was the responsibility she should bear towards the Xuan Yue clan members who were killed.
However, when Xuan Meng tried hard to push Yu Wenyan's arms away, she finally fainted in Yu Wenyan's arms because she could no longer bear the endless torture in her heart.
Looking at Xuan Meng who looked miserable in his arms, Yu Wenyan said firmly.
"I will avenge you!"
