Chapter 197 - 197 Moved on



197 Moved on

” Thank you,” Zhai Chenguang bowed in front of Liu Hui Ying who did not show any expression on her face, but Zhai Chenguang did not mind her cold face at all. She knew that even though Liu Hui Ying had a hard mouth, her heart was soft, if she hadn’t cared about her then she wouldn’t have taken the responsibility of taking Wei De down and even punish them with her own hands just to make sure that her hands were not dyed with blood.

She straightened up and looked at her nephew who had his head lowered, she knew that this foolish boy was blaming himself, thus she stepped forward and then cupped Zhai Tianyu’s cheek. Even though her touch was cold, Zhai Tianyu felt warmth seep into his body as he raised his head and looked at his aunt.

” Don’t blame yourself too much Tianyu,” Zhai Chenguang told him with a sobbing voice. Her eyes were shimmering with pearly tears as she looked at him with a motherly expression on her face, she has watched her little nephew who couldn’t even walk properly turn into a young man who started to use his own head to think about everything and even rise up to the throne when his father died. ” You were not at fault in this case, if anything …” she frowned and then added bitterly, ” It was my big brother who has never even thought about anything carefully that he caused such a tragedy to happen. But then again, with him being a man who did not listen to anyone but himself, something like this was bound to happen.”

” You need to learn from your father and look at things past everything Tianyu,” she told him further as she glanced at Liu Hui Ying, she thought about how the Ji family has been hiding behind the back of the Liu family to commit a bunch of atrocities and then added with a solemn voice, ” You need to build your views from the scratch, Tianyu. People will tell you that they are standing next to you and that they are doing everything for your own good but you need to understand one thing and that is, you have to look at everything and make a choice by yourself…because as you have already seen people aren’t what they show themselves as.”

The actions of Ji Yu came to her head and then she wisely advised her nephew. ” And sometimes people change as well, make sure that your past does not create a hindrance for you to see in the future.”

” I understand aunt,” Zhai Tianyu knew why his aunt was suddenly telling something like this to him which was why he nodded his head in understanding. ” I will keep my head as clear as possible and see who is standing by my side truly and who is not.”

As he spoke he looked at Liu Hui Ying whose face was illuminated by the harsh moonlight that was shining in the sky, even though she was wearing a mask, he could still see the soft curves of her face that were hidden inside her mask.

He only glanced at Liu Hui Ying lightly before he turned to look at his aunt worried that he will be caught by Liu Hui Ying who was looking in front, he was fortunate that he turned his head on time because Liu Hui Ying turned her head just as he turned his, if he hadn’t moved his head on time then he would have been caught staring at the Queen like a creep.

” I will take care of grandmother and everyone in the imperial family,” he promised his aunt who smiled and then nodded. ” I trust you.”

.....

Liu Hui Ying who was waiting for Zhai Tianyu and Zhai Chenguang to finish talking took out a yellow talisman paper and then drew an array on it, once she was done drawing the talisman she threw it over Zhai Chenguang such that the array doubled in its size and then covered her entire soul completely.

Zhai Chenguang raised her head and looked at the array that was hovering over her head, she closed her eyes and let the warm energy from the array cover her from head to toe, her soul that was covered in dark Yin energy suddenly turned a vivid white before her soul scattered into millions of tiny pieces, the night returned to its usual calm and the coldness that was surrounding them also turned around and returned to its usual warmth or as warm as the night of autumn could be.

” She is gone,” Zhai Tianyu looked at the space where his aunt was standing a moment ago and then turned to look at Liu Hui Ying who was staring ahead of them.

” What else were you expecting to happen?” Liu Hui Ying asked him as she turned around to walk back to where their carriage was standing, now that she was done with her work, she wanted to go back to the palace and sleep.

What was more she has used a lot of spiritual energy today making a soul move on from the earthly ties was not a small matter. Even if they were to let go of their regrets there was still a need for her to push that soul such that they will be able to move on. And when she was to give a push to the soul she would have to use a lot of spiritual energy and that will make her feel tired and restless like she was feeling right now.

” You don’t look too well, my queen,” Zhai Tianyu took one long glance at the spot where his aunt was standing just a few minutes ago and then turned to leave together with Liu Hui Ying. Zhai Heng and Yu Lingyun already left earlier because they had to bring Wei De to the department of law and order, which left the two of them alone.

” Try moving on a soul to the underworld with your spiritual energy and you will feel the same as me.” Liu Hui Ying told him with an impatient voice.

” Hmm, if I was to say …you think you are in a mood to drink,” he suggested with a smile. ” According to me as long as you are in a bad mood, drinking solves everything. Even if you feel like your bones are aching, a good drink will make all the pain go away.”
