"Wuya is my salvation, but I am Wuya's bane."
Murong Yu looked at Feng Wuya, guilt in her eyes, but ultimately, she found peace.
"After Long Xiyue died, I lived like a walking corpse. Finally, I remembered I still had a son."
"I returned to the palace, living incognito as Consort Yu. I thought I could live a peaceful life from then on."
"I had no grand ambitions, only wanting to watch Wuya grow into adulthood."
"But I never expected Wuya to suffer from a heart palpitations illness that even imperial physicians could not cure... It's retribution. All of this is retribution. I just didn't expect the retribution to fall not on me, but to harm my son."
"It's all in the past," Feng Wuya's voice was faint, but his heavy mood was discernible.
"So, later, your medicine soldier corps, you abandoned them yourself, leaving them to fend for themselves?"
Long Xinghe knew she was not feeling well, but some things had to be clarified.
"Yes, I abandoned them. I gave them the antidote, but it was already too late. Their minds could not recover; they were no longer normal people."
This was the greatest sin of her life.
To deal with Long Xiyue, how many innocent people had she harmed?
"I also thought about... killing them, so they wouldn't go out and harm others, but..."
Murong Yu's palm clenched again. Every time she thought of those medicine soldiers, she couldn't sleep soundly.
This was the sin of her life, and also the nightmare of her life.
"I really couldn't bring myself to do it. I had already harmed them to that extent. If I were to personally kill them..."
She took several deep breaths, but still couldn't calm the guilt in her heart.
"So, when there was no way to save them, I let them fend for themselves. Wen Ni has been with me all along, she knows everything."
"Did Granny Wen Ni go to Huarong because she discovered that the medicine soldiers they have now are very similar to the ones you trained back then?"
Long Xinghe seemed to be able to clarify the whole story.
"So, the medicine soldiers that Huarong currently controls are leftovers from you? And she also obtained your medicinal formula?"
Murong Yu said nothing, only lowered her head and nodded.
Long Xinghe was indeed very intelligent, her wisdom comparable to Chu Qianli.
"It seems that the medicine soldier corps is not just the people in Huarong's hands."
Long Xinghe glanced outside, her brow furrowed slightly, clearly lost in thought.
"A'li doesn't know about this yet. I must inform her of this news immediately."
Their direction was wrong. The medicine soldier corps had several branches, not a single organization.
This meant that Huarong was not the only one manipulating things behind the scenes.
Then, besides Huarong, who else in the imperial city held the power of the medicine soldier corps?
Footsteps were suddenly heard from outside.
Tie Xin had arrived.
"Is Miss Long here?" Tie Xin knocked on the door. "Miss Long, Fu Ning is here and says she wants to see you."
"Please invite her in."
Long Xinghe glanced at Murong Yu. "Although your sins are deep, you are still Wuya's mother, and therefore my mother. I will bear your sins with you; I will not abandon you."
Murong Yu trembled, looking at her with astonishment.
But Long Xinghe no longer had time for her, she quickly walked to the door and swiftly opened it.
"Fu Ning, did A'li get any news?"
