Chapter 411 - 413: Hermit Master

Chapter 411: Chapter 413: Hermit Master

Shao He knew that his words seemed calm and nonchalant, but he was certainly not feeling well inside, so she took the initiative to grasp his broad palm.

Pei Huaian felt her care and let go with a smile, "Now that the Empress’s crimes have been exposed, she has been deposed and locked in the Cold Palace, whereas my mother has been posthumously honored as Empress. A century after my father the emperor’s reign ends, she will be moved and buried together with him in the Imperial Mausoleum."

As they were speaking, they arrived at the peach grove within the estate, where a tombstone stood in the depth of the grove.

Pei Huaian took out his mother’s favorite pastries from his bosom, placed them on the ground, and kneeled down with a smile, "Mother, your great vengeance has finally been avenged; may you rest in peace beneath the spring."

"Father always loved you deeply, but he was too constrained by numerous shackles. Your son is doing very well now."

As he spoke, Pei Huaian pulled Shao He over and introduced, "Mother, this is the woman your son loves, a formidable female doctor. It was she who healed your son’s leg and reignited hope within him."

"I brought Shao He here to meet you. We also have a child named Xiao Linzhang who is very obedient and clever. Father has already met him, and in the future, I will definitely bring him to visit you."

Shao He quietly observed Pei Huaian and then knelt voluntarilty in front of Consort Ming’s grave, her hands touching the ground as she deeply kowtowed.

"The unbetrothed daughter-in-law pays her respects to the Consort Mother."

Seeing her like this, Pei Huaian suddenly embraced her and, holding up three fingers, swore, "I, Pei Huaian, swear in front of my mother’s tomb that I will never repeat the mistakes of my father. I will never allow Shao He to face the same predicament as Mother; otherwise, may I fall into Hell forever."

This oath seemed to carry a thousand pounds, and Shao He, whose emotions fluctuated greatly, felt that although they had not communicated their thoughts long, they seemed like an old couple who had faced immense difficulties together.

With her eyes slightly reddened, she hugged Pei Huaian’s sturdy waist tightly and whispered near his ear, "I believe in you."

She knew how difficult Pei Huaian’s journey had been, not only living under others’ roofs but also being forced to address his mother’s killer as ’Empress’ and constantly misjudged as an arrogant and ineffective prince.

All his achievements and military exploits had been erased, and that he had survived until today was fortunate. Thinking of all Pei Huaian had endured, Shao He felt a profound bitterness in her heart.

The two embraced each other like this, the cold evening breeze ceaselessly blowing, but a fire was burning in their hearts.

Five days of rest had passed, and today was the day Shao He had clinic hours, with people already waiting outside early in the morning.

After a busy morning, Shao He was about to go make a pot of tea when Jhiang Yijia came over with a child in her arms.

Shao He hurriedly handed the teapot to Qingxia and turned to take the child from Jhiang Yijia’s arms.

This child was extremely beautiful, her big, dark eyes continuously blinking.

"What brought you here today?" Shao He asked as she looked up.

Sitting on a chair, Jhiang Yijia sighed, "Isn’t it because she’s been troublesome? I don’t know what’s wrong these days; she’s been crying nonstop and even biting people everywhere."

"Hearing that you were seeing patients today, I hurriedly brought her over to see if there’s something wrong."

Shao He peeked into her mouth and smiled, "She’s perfectly fine; she’s just starting to teeth."

As she explained, she handed the little one something to chew on, "During this time, she’s definitely going to put everything in her mouth, make sure it’s sterilized at high temperature before giving it to her."

"Okay, I understand now," Jhiang Yijia finally relaxed.

At that moment, two middle-aged women buying medicine suddenly asked, "We heard that the Wanfu Temple’s prayer ceremony has started, have you gone yet?"

"Yes, yes, it was so crowded on the day that people could barely squeeze in; I heard some people even waited at the temple gates overnight."

"Yes, when I went, I couldn’t even enter the main gate; I could only watch from far behind."

"I heard that it was presided over by Abbot Yuan Hui himself this time."

The two women exchanged remarks, hinting at the great prowess and trust they had in Abbot Yuan Hui from their conversation.

Shao He found it a bit strange, wondering just how powerful this abbot was to earn such trust from the people.

"Do you know who this Abbot Yuan Hui is?" Shao He couldn’t help but inquire from Jhiang Yijia.

Jhiang Yijia immediately leaned in and whispered mysteriously, "It’s said that this abbot normally practices in the temple, but comes out whenever there’s chaos and predicts disasters."

"That’s why the people trust him so much. The temple holds a blessing ceremony once a year, personally conducted by Abbot Yuan Hui, attracting a large crowd."

"Could it be that this Abbot Yuan Hui really predicted something significant?"

"A few years ago, he predicted the collapse of a city tunnel, safeguarding against personnel casualties, and even dam breaks, among other things, even making his name highly esteemed; whatever he says, the people believe."

Shao He nodded, feeling that, although it sounded somewhat mysterious, after having traveled to this world, what could be more bizarre? The possibility of someone being able to predict these things seemed likely.

Jhiang Yijia changed the topic to the matters of the Marquis Pingnan’s Mansion, "I heard that Liang Weishuang is not faring well at Marquis Pingnan’s Mansion and she is subjected to much difficulty. Her feelings for Chu Yu have long faded, and now she is making a fuss about getting a divorce."

Hearing this, Shao He merely smiled faintly, feeling no sympathy for Liang Weishuang at all.
