Crowned by the Treacherous Big Shot

Chapter 824: Chapter 670: Emperor Liang Arrives (Part 3)

Sure enough, the Hunting Eagle flew towards the southeast.

Meng Qianqian and Cui Hu chased after it vigorously.

This chase brought them to the mountain top.

She saw the real elderly woman.

The elderly woman was sitting on the edge of the cliff, holding a swaddled baby, muttering unintelligible words, her mind already unclear.

Meng Qianqian’s heart was moved: "Great-Grandmother."

After the earlier incident, Cui Hu became even more cautious.

He did not rush over presumptuously but carefully observed the position where the elderly woman was sitting.

"Young Madam, the rock under the elderly woman’s feet has been cut. Although it’s covered with soil, it doesn’t look stable. If we go over there, the rock definitely won’t be able to bear our weight, and we’ll fall off the cliff with the elderly woman."

The opponent’s objective is clear, not only to harm the elderly woman but also to use her as bait to bring the Young Madam down with her.

It seems the opponent is well aware of the Young Madam’s experiences in the Capital City over these years and understands the importance of the elderly woman in her heart.

The Young Madam, to save the elderly woman, wouldn’t hesitate even if it costs her life.

Those Loulan people are truly venomous, calculating, and utterly shameless!

Cui Hu had cursed the Loulan people a thousand times in his heart, yet he was powerless to change the dangerous situation at hand.

If it were a young lad, he might attempt to tie a rope around himself, use Qinggong to hold the other person, and even if they both fell, the rope could pull them up.

But the elderly woman’s body probably couldn’t handle it.

What Cui Hu thought of, Meng Qianqian also thought of.

This method indeed wouldn’t work.

The elderly woman was having an episode and couldn’t be further agitated.

Now, the only plan was to have the elderly woman slowly walk back by herself.

"Great-Grandmother."

Meng Qianqian spoke softly, "I am Qianqian, I’ve come to take you home, let’s go home, shall we?"

The elderly woman’s cheek was tightly pressed against the swaddle, not hearing Meng Qianqian’s call.

Meng Qianqian was undeterred: "Great-Grandmother, I’m hungry, could you buy me Osmanthus Cake? The Osmanthus Cake from Zhou’s is the best."

"Qianqian... hungry..."

The elderly woman murmured.

Cui Hu couldn’t contain his joy, suppressing his excitement as he whispered, "She reacted! She reacted!"

Meng Qianqian nodded, attempting to take a step forward: "Yes, Great-Grandmother, Qianqian is hungry, very hungry, they bullied Qianqian, not giving her any food... Great-Grandmother... will you feed Qianqian?"

"Qianqian is hungry."

The elderly woman turned her head.

Meng Qianqian reached out her hand to her: "Yes, Great-Grandmother, I’m really starving, could you please go buy me some Osmanthus Cake?"

The elderly woman blankly said, "Qianqian is hungry, I’ll buy Osmanthus Cake for Qianqian."

Cui Hu held his breath.

Meng Qianqian nodded, taking another small step forward: "Great-Grandmother, please give me your hand."

The elderly woman hesitated for a moment, then slowly turned slightly.

Some pebbles under her dropped off the cliff.

Cui Hu’s heart jumped to his throat.

"Cui Hu, hold me."

Meng Qianqian instructed softly.

"Yes."

Cui Hu grabbed Meng Qianqian’s wrist.

Meng Qianqian leaned her whole body forward.

But at this moment, the elderly woman suddenly withdrew her hand.

Meng Qianqian lunged at nothing, nearly falling to the ground.

Cui Hu quickly pulled her back.

Meng Qianqian knelt on the ground, looking in the direction of her Great-Grandmother, frowning: "No, it’s too far, I can’t reach..."

The rock beneath the elderly woman gradually started to loosen, unable to bear her weight much longer.

Her heart felt as if it were being grilled over a fire.

The pain of losing her family in a previous life surged once more.

She took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.

First, she needed to find out why her Great-Grandmother stayed here.

"Great-Grandmother, who are you waiting for?"

"I’m waiting for Yun’er... They said... as long as I stay here... I can wait for him..."

Cui Hu asked curiously, "Young Madam, who is Yun’er?"

Meng Qianqian thought for a moment and guessed: "The Great-Grandmother’s deceased son."

Cui Hu suddenly realized: "Could the Everlasting Lamp... be for her own son?"

"It seems so now."

Previously, she had thought that the Great-Grandmother lit the Everlasting Lamp for General Lu.

The Loulan people used the deceased son to provoke the Great-Grandmother, no wonder she had an episode.

For a mother, this is a wound that can never heal, no matter how much time has passed!

Meng Qianqian blamed herself for not discovering her Great-Grandmother’s past until now.

She should have treated her Great-Grandmother even better, even better...

"Is Yun’er down there?"

The elderly woman stared into the harsh wind and the deep abyss, "I heard him speaking... he said he was so cold... Qianqian... I’m going to find Yun’er..."

Meng Qianqian choked: "Great-Grandmother, don’t go!"

The elderly woman smiled: "Qianqian, I’m going to find Yun’er, I’m leaving."

"No—"

Meng Qianqian stood up.

Cui Hu stopped her with one swing: "Young Madam, you can’t!"

The elderly woman looked at the abyss with no fear in her eyes, only the expectation of seeing her son.

Just when she was about to jump off the cliff, a tall and imposing figure rushed to the mountain top.

He stood facing the wind, panting heavily, exuding an aura of endless imperial majesty.

He looked at the elderly woman whose life was hanging by a thread and called out loudly:

"Mother—"

"Yun’er is here—"
