Female Supreme: I have loved you for thousands of years

Luo Shu hadn't heard any news of successful mission, so she guessed that there might be some other hidden story behind what happened back then. Of course, it could also be as they guessed, but guesses could not complete the mission.

At this moment, a puzzling task suddenly popped up in my mind.

[Ding Dong! Go to Bi Hai Cliff and help an old woman named Zhao Hui fulfill her wish. You will get 5000 points.]

Luo Shu felt that although the task that suddenly appeared at this time was inexplicable, there might be other instructions, so he accepted it: "Tuanzi, come out."

Tuanzi: "Here I am, host. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Luo Shu: "This is a new mission in the space. Can you help me find out where the Blue Sea Cliff is? How many days does it take to get there?"

In a moment, Tuanzi found out: "Host, Bihai Cliff is at the southernmost part of Dongyang County, and it takes about three days to travel. Here is the map."

Luo Shu went home to pack his luggage, gave He Qing a few words of advice, asking him not to worry, and then set off for Bi Hai Cliff.

Three days later, Luo Shu arrived at the Bi Hai Cliff.

The scenery of Bi Hai Cliff is very beautiful, so the village nearby is named Bi Hai Village.

Luo Shu: "Tuanzi, can you locate Zhao Hui?"

Tuanzi: "Host, we can't track your location. You need to fend for yourself."

Luo Shu understood, so he dismounted, held the reins, and asked the local villagers along the way.

Villager: "Who are you to Zhao Hui? What do you want to see her for? She has been in our village for more than ten years, and I haven't seen anyone else come to see her."

Luo Shu smiled and replied, "Auntie, my friend asked me to come and see her. Just now you said that she has been in the village for more than ten years and no one has come to see her. Isn't she from your village?"

Villager: "Yes, she basically never goes out after she came. Even if we meet her on the road, she won't talk. We greet her and she just nods. Later, everyone knew her like this and stopped paying attention to her."

The two of them were talking and soon arrived at Zhao Hui's house. Then she gave the old lady a piece of silver. The old lady smiled and left immediately. Before leaving, she didn't forget to tell her: "If you have anything else, come to me."

Luo Shu tied up the horse and knocked on the closed door.

After a long time, Luo Shu heard the clacking sound of a cane coming from inside, and then the door was opened a crack, revealing an old face: "Who are you?"

Luo Shu was stunned at first, then smiled slightly: "You are Zhao Hui, right? Someone asked me to come and see you?"

Zhao Hui's skull-like sunken eyes first lit up, then darkened again.

Luo Shu saw her doubt, so she started to talk nonsense: "To tell you the truth, a master asked me to come to you, saying that you and I are predestined, and asked me to help you fulfill your wish.

Grandma, do you have any wish to fulfill?"

Zhao Hui still had that indifferent look in her eyes, and she wondered if it was because God saw that she was dying, but was still worried about something, so he asked someone to help her?

"If possible, please help me burn some incense to the Sun family, and then help me see if the master and young master of the Helian family are doing well."

Luo Shu was startled, and asked uncertainly: "The Sun family you are talking about is the former Minister of Revenue Sun Shuzhen?"

Zhao Hui was obviously also stunned, and then began to look at her with some caution.

Luo Shu hurriedly explained, "Grandma Zhao, please don't misunderstand me. I'm not a bad person. It just so happens that I know Young Master Helian. What the master said is true. We are destined to be together."

Zhao Hui was a little excited: "Do you really know the young master?"

Luo Shu: “That’s right.”

Zhao Hui: "So, young master, how are you doing? And how is their master doing now?"

Luo Shu thought to himself, this person actually didn't know that his master had passed away a long time ago: "It's neither good nor bad." Seeing her puzzled expression, Luo Shu did not continue to answer, but asked his own question: "Then can you tell me how you and Shangshu Sun met?"

Zhao Hui said calmly: "I am her servant and have always been by her side."

Luo Shu: "Oh~ Then why are you here?"

Zhao Hui was silent this time, so Luo Shu had no choice but to ask, "What happened back then? Do you know?"

Zhao Hui's expression obviously changed, but she still didn't speak.

Luo Shu: "Grandma, you have to let Young Master Helian know the truth. His current situation in the Helian Mansion is actually not good."

Luo Shu paused for a moment and then spoke again: "In fact, the master of the Helian family has long passed away?"

Zhao Hui's eyes suddenly widened, and she said in disbelief: "How could it be?! Young Master's age shouldn't be..."

Zhao Hui then slowly told the story of what happened that year.

[At that time, some people in the court had rebellious thoughts and wanted to rebel, but the empress was deep-minded and the secret guards were everywhere, so it is conceivable that the planning of the rebellion was more like the empress watching others perform a puppet show.

Lord Shangshu is a veteran of three dynasties. Those people came to him, but he did not agree. Unexpectedly, they turned to find the young master's wife, Helian Jing.

The master didn't like Helian Jing at first, but she caught the young master's eye.

Our master has only one child, the young master, who was born in old age. In addition, he has been without a father since childhood, so our master has always doted on him and did not want to make things too awkward with him, so he agreed to this marriage.

The adults once said that Helian Jing was only clever but not wise, and was too self-centered and easily exploited by others.

But I didn’t expect that what the adults said would come true.

Several officials who wanted to rebel took advantage of the Ministry of Revenue where Helian Jing worked. When they thought they had the overall situation under control and were about to start a rebellion, they were surrounded by the empress's men.

Only then did they realize that they had fallen into the empress's trap.

The empress imprisoned all those who were involved in the rebellion in the court at that time, and executed those who should be killed, and exiled those who should be exiled.

When the young master heard this, he came to find you, asking you to save Helian Jing.

The adult told the young master the whole story. The young master realized the seriousness of the matter and said nothing more. He just said goodbye to the adult and left.

The young master is our adults' child, so how could she not see what he was thinking? And of course she would not allow him and the younger master to be exiled, so she went to ask His Majesty for help.

My Lord had already discovered at that time that the Empress actually wanted to use this incident to replace all the powerful, influential and disloyal old people.

The lady took the golden medal of immunity from death given to her by the late emperor and went to ask the empress for help.

The lord asked the empress to resign from his post and presented her with a golden medal of immunity from death, only asking to save the Helian family from exile.

The empress agreed, because she also knew that Helian Jing was being used, so she just changed it to being demoted.

After I resigned, my lord dismissed all of us servants and told us to live in anonymity and not to mention the past in order to avoid being taken advantage of.

Now, I am also at this age and cannot burn incense for the adults, so I would like to trouble you to do it for me. 】

[Ding Dong, mission completed, points earned! ]

Luo Shu understood clearly.

As expected, no matter when, one must keep their eyes open when getting married. She thought that Mr. Sun must have regretted it when he learned the truth.

He regretted that because of his stubbornness, his mother had to resign from her official position and his son had to suffer at such a young age.

Originally, he was the legitimate son of a first-rank minister and could have married a better person, but he chose to fall into the trap of Helian Jing.

Zhao Hui suddenly grabbed Luo Shu's hand and asked, "You said our Master is no longer alive. When was that?"

Luo Shu was really reluctant to tell this old woman this fact, but she had no right to hide the truth.

"He died of illness on the way to exile."

Zhao Hui couldn't believe it: "What!?"

Luo Shu repeated: "That's right, Master Sun died of illness during his exile."

Zhao Hui asked bitterly: "Then the adult..."

Luo Shu sighed: "Lord Sun also followed shortly after learning the result."

Zhao Hui suddenly burst into tears and muttered to herself: "Sir, I told you that I was with you, but you didn't listen. Blame me, blame me, I shouldn't have listened to you and really hidden myself.

My lord and young master, are you living well over there?

......"

Zhao Hui said a lot more afterwards, but Luo Shu didn't listen very carefully.

But looking at her old and frail body, it seemed as if the wind could blow her away.

"Grandma Zhao, let me help you into the house. It's windy outside."

Zhao Hui didn't say anything else and let Luo Shu help her into the house.

Luo Shu thought that he had just said so much, so he needed to drink some water to moisten his throat. He looked at the teapot on the table and saw that it was empty. He said to Zhao Hui, "Grandma, you take a rest. I'll go boil some water. You must be thirsty after talking so much. Wait for me for a while, I'll be fine soon."

However, when Luo Shu came back with the boiled water, he found that Zhao Hui was sitting there motionless.

Luo Shu gently placed his index finger on her nose, but there was no breath.
