Chapter 1518: Chapter 1513: The Child Has Been Found, It’s Rong Yun’s

After nightfall, the two of them wandered around the mountain and searched through most of it but found no trace of the child. Under the moonlight’s illumination, faint cries reached their ears.

“Ah…”

“Wuu wuu…”

“Is that the child?”

Su Yingxue gripped Chu Yihan’s hand, her shoulder trembling slightly.

She was more sensitive to any sound from the child than Chu Yihan was. Following the feeble cries, she found an infant at the foot of a hill, his body covered in purple, with weak whimpers.

He was shivering, curled up, and the faint cries from his mouth were his last plea for help in this world.

Heartbreakingly pitiful.

Su Yingxue immediately took off her cloak and wrapped the child in it.

He looked like a newborn baby just a month old, his body wrinkled and covered with shades of purple, as if he was frozen to the brink of death. But when Su Yingxue touched his neck, her eyes widened in shock, “He’s been poisoned!”

Chu Yihan pulled both her and the child up, frowning, “First bring him back to Guiyuan Temple for treatment.”

Su Yingxue and Chu Yihan took a Zen room at Guiyuan Temple undetected, carrying the child inside.

Chu Yihan fetched some hot water, and Su Yingxue gently wiped the child clean, discovering just how pitiable the child was!

So young, yet someone had poisoned him; he seemed to be a few months old, with underdeveloped growth. If Su Yingxue had discovered him any later, he certainly would not have been saved.

Su Yingxue opened the white box and carried him into the laboratory, where there was an incubator that could save his life.

After placing the child in the incubator, Su Yingxue then pondered how to detoxify him first.

The child was too frail to withstand any medicine, she could only think, “First, feed him some milk to nourish him for a few days, then proceed with detoxification.”

Chu Yihan was by her side, out of his depth in medicine, but he was clear about the child’s origin.

He remembered Su Yingxue saying the child must not be moved for a few days in the incubator, so they had a few days to uncover the child’s background and the situation with the madwoman in the inner courtyard of the back mountain.

Chu Yihan, accompanied by Su Yingxue, went back to the back mountain, this time carrying another item.

A dirty baby bellyband.

Despite the dirt, it was clear that the fabric was of high quality, and though the embroidery of a small tiger was crooked and ugly, it showed the embroiderer had put in careful effort with every stitch.

Chu Yihan speculated, “This fabric is the finest soft muslin, just like what Heng’er wore as a child, available only in the palace. This embroidery, it seems to come from the hands of Princess Beiling. This child must be hers; let’s see if she can recall anything.”

Su Yingxue nodded, “If she can calm down, I can use the Soul-Consuming Needle which could indeed help with her illness.”

At the very least, it might prevent her from being in a constant state of mental disorder.

When they returned, the madwoman was still screaming, but upon seeing the bellyband in his hand, she burst into tears, crying with reddened eyes, “Shunshun, my Shunshun… where is he? Return my Shunshun to me!”

“Your child’s name is Shunshun? Do you remember him?” Su Yingxue slowly squatted in front of her.

She could tell that when she received something that belonged to her child, she reverted back to being a mother, her whole being suffused with maternal tenderness, her love and worry for her child plainly evident.

“Su Yingxue, I beg you, please return my Shunshun to me, I’ll do anything…” The madwoman clutched Su Yingxue’s hand, pleading incessantly.

Su Yingxue brushed away the woman’s disheveled hair, “I want to know, about you, the child, and my cousin, what… is your name?”

“Me?”

The madwoman’s gaze was filled with confusion.

She had almost forgotten what her name was.

That’s right, her name was Rong Yun, the most doted on young princess of the Beiling Imperial family, her brother was the Crown Prince of Beiling, and her mother was the most cherished Imperial Consort Yu in the palace.

And her father, Emperor Jin Xuan, was also the person who loved her the most.

Her memory of Beiling ended the year she was married off.

In the Eighteenth Year of Yuande, her father was seriously ill, her brother acted as regent, and her mother, who had doted on her for over a decade, summoned her back from Kun City, presented a scroll of paintings, and told her that she was to be married far away to the Scarlet Flame King of the Great Wei Dynasty, to become his princess.

Having been pampered from a young age, with the emperor and empress above, and the Crown Prince and countless eunuchs and palace maids below, Rong Yun had never done anything against her will.

She looked at the portrait in the Imperial Consort’s Palace. The man depicted was tall and brawny, with a fearsome face. She immediately knocked over a teacup in a fit of anger, “This princess refuses to marry!”

Imperial Consort Yu was shocked and hastily put down her Green Jade Glass Cup, rising from her chaise lounge, “Why refuse? Such a man is rare in this world, what does Yun’er dislike about him?”

“I dislike everything about him!” Rong Yun pouted stubbornly.

With tiny steps, she ran up to Imperial Consort Yu, pointing at the portrait of Qin Muyan and complained, “He’s so tall, so strong, not handsome at all! And his face, it’s not round, this princess does not like! If I don’t like him, I will not marry! I will not marry, not marry, not marry!”

When she threw a tantrum, she would stomp around the Noble Consort’s Palace, her feet adorned in Cloud Brocade Jade Shoes, with their expensive, soft, and thin brocade, and the sound of blue jade clear and pleasing to watch yet vexing enough to cause Imperial Consort Yu a headache.

With her fingers, painted with pink rouge, gently pressing her head, she spoke softly, “Alright, alright, you’re not allowed to stomp anymore!”

“So this princess doesn’t have to marry?” Rong Yun blinked, her eyes like glittering glaze, as if they contained thousands of lights, as beautiful as stars falling, enchantingly lovely with a smile.

But a girl with such beautiful eyes had a temper that caused headaches.

At first, Imperial Consort Yu patiently persuaded her, mentioning many of Qin Muyan’s good qualities, such as being young and promising, bestowed as prince at eighteen, and now wielding military power, always held in high esteem in the Great Wei Dynasty.

“How many years has he been prince?” Rong Yun asked with a pout.

“It’s been eight years, and now he’s held in high esteem by the emperor of Wei. Since Emperor Wei has no heir, if no one else comes forth, Qin Muyan is the most likely to succeed the throne. If Yun’er marries him, you may have the chance to become the empress in the future, a status not even your mother has attained!” Imperial Consort Yu vividly described the benefits of marrying Qin Muyan to Rong Yun.

But Rong Yun was unimpressed, her eyebrows arching in disdain, “What? He’s already that old? He’s even older than my brother!”

“Old? Where’s he old?” In the eyes of Imperial Consort Yu, in all of Beiling, apart from her son, the Crown Prince, other adult princes who were still Regional Princes at thirty had plenty of people around them.

Qin Muyan, at twenty-six, was already exceptionally young and talented.

“But this princess is only thirteen years old!”

Rong Yun’s little mouth was pouting heavily, full of disdain for Qin Muyan!

She even picked up a brush, drew a turtle on Qin Muyan’s portrait, and disdainfully said, “An old and ugly man, an old turtle!”
