The Divine Physician’s Overbearing Wife Chapter 2164 - The Past Life 89

Chapter 2164: The Past Life 89

She must leave the emperor’s son-in-law’s manor as soon as possible. At least, she must go to see Little Nine. She could no longer let her stay there…
She had heard that Master Di Ming and Little Nine knew each other or were childhood friends. They had very good feelings toward each other. If Master Di Ming saw Little Nine, he might have a change of heart.
Since Little Nine had left back then, she should not have come back.
She did not understand why she had to come back…
The Ninth Emperor knew nothing about what was happening in the emperor’s son-in-law’s manor.
She stood in the courtyard with a blank look in her eyes.
Qing Zhu found a cellar under a dry well.
She had never thought that there would be a cellar.
The Ninth Emperor strolled toward the cellar, gazing around.
There were some murals on the walls of this cellar.
The people painted there were too familiar to her.
She touched the mural gently. “Mother, where exactly are you…”
She had looked for her for more than ten years but could not find any trace of her.
The person on the painting did not respond to her. Only that smile was still touching, as warm as the sun.
Qing Zhu hissed. “Ninth Emperor, there should be no trace of your mother within this cellar. I guess it’s in one of your mother’s warehouses…”
As if she did not hear its words, the Ninth Emperor continued to walk forward.
The candlestick in her hand emitted a dim glow, lighting up her stunning face.
Her pair of eyes were bright and radiant like stars.
“No matter what, I must find her!”
This was the long-cherished wish of her life!
Suddenly, the Ninth Emperor stopped as she was at another painting.
In that painting, there was no longer a stunningly beautiful person she saw just now, but instead a beautiful snow-white fox.
“A fox?” Qing Zhu froze. “The painting just now was all about the Ninth Emperor’s mother. Why did it suddenly turn into a fox here?”
The Ninth Emperor did not speak, silent.
She kept staring at the fox for a long time without withdrawing her gaze.
This fox was just a painting, but she felt that the fox in the painting was smiling at her.
That smile was so warm that her heart, too, gradually warmed.
“This fox… Is also my mother…”
This statement, like a bolt from the blue sky, made Qing Zhu dumbfounded on the spot.
‘The fox is the Ninth Emperor’s mother?
‘Then, in that case, the Ninth Emperor is a beastman?’
Qing Zhu stiffened. It was rare to find a beastman on this mainland because only a few humans could be with spirit beasts.
It was not that humans despise spirit beasts, but it was because once a spirit beast turned into a human, it would not be willing to marry a human.
Moreover…
Mu Yi was such a man, and the Ninth Emperor’s mother was far better than him.
Therefore, Qing Zhu did not understand why the Ninth Emperor would have a father like him?
The Ninth Emperor eventually touched the portraits. Her fingers were long and slender, gently brushing over the picture before taking it off the wall and carefully putting it away.
Apart from these portraits, there was nothing else in the cellar.
After she put the portraits away, she patted Qing Zhu’s little head and said, “Go on and look for them. See if there are any other things in this courtyard.”
“Alright…”
Qing Zhu nodded dumbly. It hesitated for a moment before saying, “Ninth Emperor, there are so many portraits here, but why did you only take this one?”
“Because… It’s more special…” The Ninth Emperor smiled.
That smile was a meaningful one.
