Chapter 1306 - A Terrifying Discovery
“This used to be the palace, your home,” Qi Zhengming said as he guided Huo Yunshen.
Huo Yunshen felt as if someone had pricked his heart when Qi Zhengming introduced the unfamiliar place as his home.
To Huo Yunshen, his home would always be the Huo family in Peijing, but that place had also become a place of sorrow for him.
Huo Yunshen had been snuck out from the palace when he was a baby. He had no feelings attached to the castle; the only thing that he had was the responsibility he had to carry.
After taking Huo Yunshen on a tour around the palace, Qi Zhengming took him to the royal tomb.
“Yunshen, we found something really terrifying,” Qi Zhenming said.
“What?”
“We discovered that both your father’s and mother’s body are gone. That’s the reason I called you over today.”
“…”
They both stopped in front of Huo Yunshen’s parents’ tombs, but the coffins were gone.
“Were you here when they were buried?”
“No, I was on my way to take you to Zstan. When I came back, the funeral was over, and most of the remaining people had left because the cooling system had started working.”
“Which means you can’t confirm whether they were buried here or not?”
“I can’t.”
“But where would their bodies be? Could it be they were buried in another place?”
No one could answer Huo Yunshen’s question. A lot of people died during the civil war, and the land was filled with dead bodies.
The people who were responsible for identifying the bodies had all passed away and no one knew what happened after that.
“Uncle Ming, is there a possibility that they are still alive?”
“…” Qi Zhengming was stunned by Huo Yunshen’s question.
“I’m just asking. We have to conduct a search after all the ice has melted.
But the truth was, Qi Zhengming had also once thought of that possibility.
But it was a question that no one had the answer to.
Both of them left the tomb after that.
“Uncle Ming, we’ll be going to war with Lstan on the next low tide,” Huo Yunshen said.
“I’ll assist you then.”
After everything was settled, Huo Yunshen went straight back to Lin City.
He fetched his wife from the clinic and took her back to the Moon Castle.
When they walked into the living quarters, the butler told them that Jing Ruyue was preparing dinner in the kitchen.
The couple walked to the kitchen and saw something heartwarming.
Jing Ruyue was preparing dinner in the kitchen while Helian Wei was helping her from time to time. If Helian Wei was free, he would just stare at Jing Ruyue quietly.
“There’s something on your face,” Helian Wei suddenly said.
“What?” Jing Ruyue asked as she raised her head. “Help me wipe it.”
Helian Wei walked up to Jing Ruyue and kissed her cheek and lips casually.
“Hey! What if the kids see us?” Jing Ruyue scolded when she noticed that it was a trick.
Helian Wei turned his head just to check if his daughter was back. To his surprise, Xu Xiyan and Huo Yunshen were standing just outside the door and had seen what just happened.
