Incarnation Of Gods: Endless War - Chapter 282

Third-person POV

Weisheng stood dignifiedly as he stared the slowly darkened sky, Meiyun and Di Shang soundlessly waited for Weisheng to open his tight-lipped mouth. The rustling sound of the leaves enhanced the loneliness that exuded from Weisheng’s broad shoulder.

The Di husband and wife pair knew well that currently, Weisheng was still processing the current situation. Weisheng didn’t know how to express himself therefore his silence was enough to show the turmoil in his heart.

Weisheng was overjoyed the moment his eyes caught the sight of Hong er but his excitement only ended up hurting Hong er. Just as he had thoroughly planned to bring Hong er back with him so that she could recuperate in a more familiar place and the place where he could watch over her, the Royal Palace, his plan instantly shattered into pieces when Hong er showed her unwillingness to follow him.

Of course, Weisheng would never do anything that against Hong er’s will and now, he was in contemplation of what he supposed to do to convince Hong er that he only wanted her to stay by her side so that he could protect her, the thing that he failed to do 13 years ago.

Even after thinking it over and over again, nothing came up to his mind. Thus, he decided to divert his attention to the couple that stood behind him.

“How is the Empress doing?” Weisheng asked in a low voice.

“Her Majesty Empress is still the same as she was 13 years ago, the only thing that different is that she has amnesia. No…” Meiyun’s words froze in the middle sentence as her brows furrowed in contemplation.

Weisheng and Di Shang turned their eyes to Meiyun in confusion.

“…it is more likely a memory manipulation,” Meiyun said firmly as if she was sure about it.

“Memory manipulation? Why do you say so?” Di Shang asked.

Weisheng’s brows knitted into a frown as if he was questioning Meiyun with his eyes. Both Weisheng and Di Shang trusted what Meiyun stated, but they never encountered this kind of magic or spell before which could manipulate one’s memory.

“En, when I asked Her Majesty Empress about her past, she told me that she was an orphan and raised in an ordinary orphanage. She met her husband who was a farmer and got married 2 years after they got together. She was pregnant with their only child not long after their marriage but unfortunately, her husband died on the battlefield as he was listed as a frontline soldier. Due to the shock from the news about her husband’s death, she suffered a miscarriage.” Meiyun explained with her firm voice.

Weisheng and Di Shang looked at each other in bewilderment. They had never anything like this before. The story that Meiyun told them was like a whole different person.

“Does Her Majesty Empress know how she got here?” Di Shang asked.

“Her Majesty Empress had no clue why and how she suddenly arrived at this place. She said that her vision darkened without a reason and the moment she woke up, most of her senses were gone together with the child in her w.o.m.b.” Meiyun said with a solemn expression.

Although this wasn’t the real thing that happened to Hong er, the memory that had been manipulated still would leave a deep scar in Hong er’s heart thus Meiyun felt pity when she heard Hong er’s forlorn voice.

“Gladly, after a physician examined Her Majesty Empress’s body, nothing is out of normal. Even her psychology is stable, this is truly a piece of good news amidst her the whole ordeal that she went through.” Meiyun said in relief.

Di Shang nodded his head in agreement while Weisheng’s lips were pressed into a straight line. The three of them were pondering how to bring Hong er back to the Royal Palace with her consent. Thus Di Shang turned his eyes to Meiyun who understood Hong er than he does.

“What do you think we should do to convince Her Majesty Empress to go back to the Royal Palace?” Di Shang asked Meiyun.

But before Meiyun could answer Di Shang’s question, a deep voice interjected her.

“I will convince her.” Weisheng who had been silent for the past few minutes finally opened his lips.

The husband and wife couple were wide-eyed but not surprised by Weisheng’s determination.

“What is Your Majesty Emperor’s plan?” Meiyun asked Weisheng politely.

Weisheng’s eyes looked fixedly at the cave not far from them.

“Win her heart back.” Weisheng walked away after he said these 4 words.

Meiyun and Di Shang were left dumbfounded by Weisheng’s shamelessness, nonetheless, this was truly the best way to get Hong er to follow them back to the Royal Palace.

“I guess we don’t’ have any choice.” Meiyun shrugged her shoulder and walked with her hand on Di Shang’s arm.

Meanwhile, inside the cave, the twins were too immersed in communicating with Hong er that they didn’t notice that Weisheng had been standing behind them for a few minutes.

“Oh, Imperial Father!” Zhang Wei exclaimed with a wide smile on his thin lips.

“En.” Weisheng patted Zhang Wei’s head.

Just as his other hand was going to caress Hong er’s head, Weisheng’s hand froze in the air and pulled his hand away. Then he placed his warm palm on Hong er’s slender hand.

Hong er’s wide smile immediately fade away as she yanked her and off Weisheng’s grasp. But Weisheng didn’t mind Hong er’s frantic behavior, he gently took Hong er’s hand once again and quickly wrote on her palm.

“Nice to meet you.”

Hong er’s hand that twitched at the warm sensation that brushed along Weisheng’s fingertips. Without knowing it herself, her ears warmed up as the corner of her lips subconsciously arched into a gentle smile.

With her head slightly facing upwards, as if she was staring at Weisheng, she pondered what this warm and fuzzy feeling that bloomed in her heart. It was as if she had been waiting for his appearance for her whole life.

Weisheng and the twins were stunned at how Hong er was dazedly staring at Weisheng with the soft smile on her plump lips. If they didn’t know that Hong er had lost her memory, they would think that Hong er still had her memory and lovingly communicating with Weisheng only by gazes, just like a husband and wife pair.

After a few seconds of silence, Hong er nodded her head to Weisheng’s greetings.

“Mn.”
