Cold Cliffs's heart was burning with impatience. His body moved like the wind, reaching the fastest speed he had ever traveled in his life. A few servants who heard the commotion raised their heads, only to feel a gust of wind whizzing past their ears. However, not a single shadow could be seen. Although he didn't know why Ye Wuchen said that his mother was seeking death, he didn't dare to hesitate or doubt anything related to his mother's life!
When he arrived in front of his mother's door, he pushed it, but it didn't open. He fiercely rammed his body against it, and the wooden door instantly shattered. Cold Cliffs rushed in …
On the bed, his mother was lying there quietly. There was a faint smile on her serene face, as if she was dreaming of some happy scene. Hidden within that smile was a deep reluctance to part with him. She was in a deep sleep, so deep that even the loud sound of the door being smashed did not wake her up.
Cold Cliffs's heart sank, and the pain was like blood. He walked forward step by step with illusory footsteps. His eyes, which were as cold as knives, shrank and became lax bit by bit.
Finally, he walked in front of his mother's bed, suppressed his breathing, and extended a trembling finger to the tip of her nose … Time passed second by second, and Cold Cliffs's body also became colder and colder. When his trembling finger drooped down powerlessly, his eyes had already gone blank. A heart-wrenching feeling swallowed all of his consciousness. He just stood there in a daze, and even his breathing completely stopped, as if he had suddenly died.
Ye Wuchen, who was still sitting in the wooden wheelchair, silently came to his side under Oculum's push. Ye Wuchen's gaze swept across Madam Leng's face, raised his head, and sighed heavily.
"Why … Why …" Cold Cliffs absentmindedly spilled out the blurry words that he kept repeating. Why … He couldn't understand all of this! He couldn't understand!
On the small table beside the bed, there was a note. Ye Wuchen had Oculum take the note. After glancing at it, he patted Cold Cliffs's shoulder and placed the note in his hand. "This is what your mother left for you … You have a very selfish and great mother. She used her own life to give you a short period of pain, and also helped you decide your future. "
The ink on the note was still wet, and the last few words were clearly written just now. Every word was written very lightly. It was obvious that he had written it very quickly, but every word was neat and tidy. The light in Cold Cliffs's eyes finally returned. He stretched out his stiff right hand and took the note …
"Little Feng, mother is gone … Ever since he left this world, I've had the heart to follow him. My union with him was an absurd accident. Although he never had feelings for me, I've never regretted or hated him. He is a true hero. I am not worthy of him … Xiao Feng, you have returned. To be able to see you safe and strong, mother's wish has been fulfilled. I have no more worries, and can finally follow him … Xiao Feng, don't cry. You have to be happy for mother, do you understand?
Xiao Feng, mother has just told you that with your personality, it is impossible for you to become someone who can control others. Although you are always so cold and ruthless on the surface, how can mother not know that Xiao Feng is the most affectionate and the most filial child. If mother does not leave, your heart will always remember mother. Even if mother beats you or scolds you, you will not be willing to leave mother's side … You are a man, how can you be burdened by mother? Ye Gongzi has done so much for us. Even if he is disabled, he will be a flying dragon in the future. Mother hopes that you can forget that he died in the hands of Ye Gongzi and follow him. Mother believes that Ye Gongzi will give you the most suitable future.
"Xiao Feng. You seem to be strong and can endure thousands of hardships, but mother knows that with your personality, you will only truly start to grow up after he and mother die. Now mother is gone. Although I can't be by your side, I will look at you from heaven. Listen to mother, don't let mother down, okay … "
The note in his hand fell to the ground. Cold Cliffs finally knelt down heavily by the bed and burst into tears. A man does not easily shed tears, let alone a man of steel like Cold Cliffs. His cries were too sorrowful and spread far and wide in the sorrowful air, breaking people's hearts. Ye Wuchen picked up the uncapped small bottle on the table and walked out silently.
The small bottle in his hand looked a little old. Obviously, it had been prepared for a long time. Cold Cliffs's mother was the person who understood Cold Cliffs the most in this world. It could be said that she was the only person who understood him. Long before he came back, she had already prepared for this day. Not only did she want to follow Feng Zhaoyang, but she also didn't want to become a burden to Cold Cliffs. Under Cold Cliffs's cold appearance, there was a filial heart. His mother was his only family and support. In order to protect his mother, he would give up everything, including his own future.
Madam Leng … Infatuation, love, greatness … She had everything a true good woman should have, but she didn't have a good ending. Ever since she met Feng Zhaoyang, her life had been spent in misery and tears …
"Pass down the order. Don't let anyone come near this place," Ye Wuchen said to Ye Si, who was guarding there, as they walked out of the courtyard.
"Yes, Young Master," Ye Si answered respectfully. Cold Cliffs's bloodthirsty and sorrowful cries were still ringing in his ears. His father was dead, his mother was dead … He had no family, no more worries.
The Son of the God of War must grow up.
"Father, do you recognize what's in this?" Ye Wuchen took out the small bottle and placed it in front of Ye Wei. Ye Wei took a look, and his expression changed slightly. "Heart Sealing Powder! Chen'Er, where did you get this? "
"Auntie Leng is dead. She took this," Ye Wuchen said.
"What!?" Although Ye Wei didn't have much interaction with Madam Leng, she had lived in the Yeh family for more than three years after all. She couldn't help but be shocked when she heard it.
"Auntie Leng wanted to die three years ago. Now that she saw Cold Cliffs come back safely, she no longer had any worries … When Cold Cliffs and I rushed over, she was already dead." Ye Wuchen explained half of the reason and asked, "Heart Sealing Powder? It should be a kind of poison. Auntie Leng committed suicide by taking poison. "
Ye Wei was silent for a while, then said sadly, "Heart Sealing Powder is used in the palace to bestow death to maids and eunuchs who have committed grave mistakes. Our Yeh family once used it to bestow death to a servant two years ago. It's a kind of merciful way to bestow death. After taking the Heart Sealing Powder, you won't feel anything at first, but after a while, you will feel warmth in your body. It should be a very comfortable feeling. After a few minutes, you will feel sleepy, and your consciousness will be blurred. Then, you will die in a dreamlike state. There's no pain in this way. " He picked up the small bottle and frowned. "This Heart Sealing Powder is very precious. It's usually impossible to get it. I really don't know how she got it. "
"There's no pain in death? That's good. "Ye Wuchen smiled bitterly. This was also a shallow comfort. Cold Cliffs's mother was a truly wise person. By using this painless way to die, not only did it lessen her own pain, but it also lessened Cold Cliffs's pain. Otherwise, if she died by cutting her wrists, hanging herself, or taking the Intestine Severing Powder, Cold Cliffs's pain would increase by a few degrees.
For the whole day, Cold Cliffs didn't come out of that room. Under Ye Wuchen's order, no one went in to disturb him. In the early morning of the next day, before the sky was bright, Cold Cliffs stood in front of Ye Wuchen's door. Ye Wuchen opened the door and saw his dead eyes. Overnight, his face was extremely pale. His eyes were deep, but there were no tears or expressions of pain. His tears had already dried up yesterday.
From today onwards, he no longer had any relatives, and he no longer had any worries. Behind him, Chu Jingtian, whose eyes were a little red, followed. Yesterday, he had been guarding at the door of the courtyard, but he didn't go in. Today, seeing him walk out silently like a wooden man, he hurriedly followed and racked his brains to comfort him. He had finally seen his mother, but she was gone just like that. They had also become people without parents. Three years of love, coupled with the sympathy of being in the same boat, made Chu Jingtian sad for him. Yesterday, because of the annoyance in his chest, he constantly beat his chest.
With a "plop" sound, Cold Cliffs suddenly knelt in front of Ye Wuchen, which made Chu Jingtian, who was behind him, startled. He hurriedly wanted to help him up, but Cold Cliffs's cold body was as hard as a stone. No matter how hard he was helped, he didn't move.
"Promise me one thing, and from now on, my life, Cold Cliffs's life is yours. Whatever you want me to do, I will do it. "Cold Cliffs nodded his head. Every word he said was as hard as ice, cold and firm.
With a sleepy face, Ye Wuchen didn't help him up or let him stand up. Instead, he said solemnly, "If you do this, it's no different from handing over your life to someone else. Aren't you afraid that you'll regret it?"
Cold Cliffs raised his head, stared into his eyes, and said resolutely, "I won't regret it … This is my mother's last wish. Whether it's right or wrong, even if you're an unpardonable evil person, I won't go against it!"
"Is it really worth it to do this? You should know what this promise represents. "Ye Wuchen frowned and asked.
"It's worth it!"
"Alright, tell me your request." Ye Wuchen raised his eyebrows and said.
"I want you … to bury my mother's body with him … Feng Zhaoyang!"
Speaking of his mother's body, his cold voice was still as calm as before, and there wasn't a trace of pain in his expression and eyes. His mother had used his death to force him to grow up. Yesterday, he had thought about many things amidst his tears and great pain. His heart had also transformed from this heartless blow.
Chu Jingtian was momentarily shocked and couldn't help but shout, "But … Ice Cube Face, this is too difficult … Get up first …"
With Feng Zhaoyang's status, influence, and contributions to the Great Gale Imperial Family, the place where he was buried would definitely be heavily guarded … Even if he wasn't afraid of those guards, so what if he killed them? If he was buried together, the Great Gale Imperial Family would definitely find out. He couldn't guard that place forever. Even if he didn't think about this, Tenryū Province was a long way from Great Gale Country. If he brought the body there, it was likely that the body would already be …
