Abandoned Princesses
Surprised Feelings

Lu Guang shook his head.

He could not believe the woman. However, Shu Li Wei had taken her child for granted, and refused to let her carry her daughter's belongings once since the child's mother died.

Now, when he could no longer raise the child, was it that easy to return his only daughter?

Lu Guang was not inexhaustible, yet he could only blame his bitter past.

"Mingzhi, I have business. Be my deputy temporarily" he told the young man in front of him.

"Good, Teacher." The young man clenched his hands and bowed his body.

And Lu Guang disappeared.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

"Lake in." Qiao Rong had already guessed who was knocking on the door of his room.

Slowly, a figure of Chu Yue emerged from behind the door. He walked very slowly, and glanced around before finally letting himself explode with enthusiasm in front of Qiao Rong.

"Your Majesty!!!!!!!!! How can you defeat the Zhang Family Head? Servant knows that your cultivation is great, but doesn't this mean that you are the greatest in the Wen Kingdom, without even having to have a Protective Spirit?" His sparkling eyes made Qiao Rong's eyes glare.

Qiao Rong simply smiled casually. "Where did you hear that?"

"It can't be the sound of such a big fight no one heard it! Though I would love to see His Majesty up close, but it has been taken for granted by the Head of Dayang. Just try Your Majesty know that the whole lady and eunuch have been frightened and gathered all inside the palace hall!" Chu Yue swung her lips.

"Why didn't anyone think that the one who fought was the Moon King?" ask Qiao Rong.

"Because it was the Moon King who first told us to hide in the palace hall, Your Majesty." Hearing Chu Yue's reply, Qiao Rong smiled considering the man.

"Now I know, don't you? It's only fitting that the palace becomes so desolate." The two of them continued to laugh together.

Actually, Qiao Rong did not need to worry. He and Shen Haofeng could easily sense the whereabouts of every single person in the Palace using only qi. As he fought Zhang Guo, naturally he would not allow anyone, except his fiancee to see Lan Long. And the only other eyewitness is dead.

Chu Yue suddenly sighed.

"But, Your Honor ... I think you better visit Consort Shu, she doesn't look too good while hiding with us and the other concubines in the palace hall. His face was constantly pale and frightened." Qiao Rong felt that it was only natural in his heart. After all, didn't Consort Shu know her daughter was fighting with the man whose cultivation level was highest in Wen Kingdom.

But certainly visiting his mother and calming her down was not something that would harm Qiao Rong.

"alright. Come on."

*****

"Your Majesty, Princess Rong came to visit you." The head of the ladyboy lowered his head while speaking to Consort Shu.

Consort Shu just nodded slowly.

Here's time. A moment he could never face 16 years ago.

Concubine Shu walked slowly accompanied by her lady head. In the pavilion courtyard, Qiao Rong looked delighted as she looked at her mother walking over and smiled at her.

Although she had put on a thick makeup and tried to smile as usual, Consort Shu could not cover the pale look on her face.

"Is Mom okay?" As soon as Qiao Rong said so, Consort Shu knew that he could not and should not hide anything else.

"When ... When exactly did you become that strong?" Concubine Shu tried to stare at her daughter firmly, but she could not forget the fear she felt.

"I ... Don't know either. It felt like all the anger just came out when I saw the Crown Prince and Empress casually say such things to Mother." Qiao Rong smiled bitterly. He could not tell Shen Haofeng the truth about the origin of his strength. So did his mother.

Qiao Rong could only quietly glance at the two boys who were playing beside him. Since Li Wenrou, Li Junyan has become quieter and busier with the girl playing.

Concubine Shu whispered to the head of the ladyboy for a moment. Then all the ladies and eunuchs in the pavilion courtyard immediately stepped aside. There were only those two Mothers and the child sitting seriously.

"But it's true." Concubine Shu lowered her head.

"What?" Qiao Rong's voice choked away instantly.

It was like I had just received a surprise attack. What does Consort Shu mean? Qiao Rong wondered.

However after adapting to this body and the surrounding environment for so long, Qiao Rong could not help but feel extremely shocked. Was he really not the son of the Emperor?

"You ... Not the Emperor's daughter." Somehow Qiao Rong felt relieved when Consort Shu said that. She was not willing if she was truly the daughter of the unjust and immoral Emperor.

"But you're not my daughter either."

A moment after Consort Shu continued her words, Qiao Rong's chest felt tight from shock. He could not breathe for a moment.

"Then I ..." Chief Qiao Rong was now circling around.

Beside Qiao Rong, Li Wenrou and Li Junyan who had been playing now also put on a look of surprise.

Who would have thought that the woman who had raised him and loved him wholeheartedly was not his mother?

"Your mother is my best friend." Slowly Consort Shu's tears began to pour down her cheeks. Given the things and tragedies that happened in the past, and that he had been contemplating for 16 years, Consort Shu's voice began to choke.

Concubine Shu wiped her tears gracefully. Just like the other women from respectable families.

"Your mother, birth mother, your father, and Emperor Qiao, we are best friends who travel together to hunt monsters." Concubine Shu strengthened her tone while looking at Qiao Rong.

"Your father and mother fell in love. So simple, but their status and responsibilities ultimately separate them."

"Your father tried hard to be with your mother, but in the end he failed. And what happened was just a heartbreaking tragedy" Consort Shu continued.

The feeling of surprise that Qiao Rong had felt had slowly begun to dissipate, replaced by curiosity.

Even so, Qiao Rong would still need some time to accept all the truths he had just received today.

"But you don't have to worry." Concubine Shu held Qiao Rong's hand tightly. "You are still my daughter, and you are also the fruit of love from your mother and your father, they even sacrificed everything just for your birth. Even the life ..." When he heard the last word from Consort Shu, Qiao Rong could only bite his lips.

His life? Does it mean ...

"After all, everything will be explained by your father later. Your father's on his way here. I know that all this is very hard to take for granted. Come back, calm yourself down and prepare to meet your real father." Consort Shu could only smile bitterly.
