Chapter 574 Dragon Robe


    While Chu Feng and Yun Muqing were spending the night together, a vehicle adorned with stars


    and moons arrived at the mausoleum in the western suburbs, braving the harsh wind and snow.


    First to step out of the vehicle was Weng Bo, his silver hair glistening, and he held up a ck


    umbre.


    Following him, Chu Tianxiong, with his robust physique and eyes that had witnessed countless trials


    and tribtions, deep as the starry sky, surveyed the surroundings without the need for any light.


    He made his way directly to Ye Qingrou''s tomb.


    There, they discovered that the front of the tomb was immacte, devoid of any weeds, and


    adorned with fresh fruits and a few bouquets.


    "Someone has been here," Weng Bo''s demeanor suddenly changed. A sharp longsword shed


    from his sleeve, his eyes as sharp as a hawk, scanning the surroundings with an intense gaze that


    shone even in the dark of night.


    As a minister, Lord Chu carried the weight of Donghua''s millions of people on his shoulders.


    Simultaneously, he posed a threat and a thorn in the hearts of many enemy nations.


    For the past twenty years, Weng Bo, as the bodyguard of the Chu family, had never allowed himself


    to becent. It was through his keen perception and formidable skills that he saved Lord Chu


    from danger on multiple asions.


    "Don''t be rmed, Mr. Weng," Chu Tianxiong calmly waved his hand. "He is here."


    The fresh fruits ced in front of the tomb—ripe peaches, cherries, and pears—were Ye Qingrou''s


    favorite treats while she was alive.


    Besides himself, the only person who understood Ye Qingrou so deeply was her unworthy son.


    Weng Bo was momentarily stunned, then tion washed over him. "Could it be the eldest son, Lord


    Chu"


    "He returned to Yenching? This... this is wonderful news."


    Having been with Chu Tianxiong for decades, Weng Bo quickly knew who was it. Despite the


    strained rtionship between father and son since Madam Ye''s passing, their encounters


    resembling those of enemies, Weng Bo believed that with time, they would grow more rational and


    gradually reconcile. After all, blood was thicker than water.

    The return of the eldest prince to Yenching was the greatest piece of news.


    Chu Tianxiong maintained a calm expression, while he remained indifferent, as if a stranger had


    arrived.


    Chu Tianxiong squatted down, carefully wiping the tombstone and the photo of the woman he loved,


    tenderness evident in his expression.


    "Qingrou, I''m here."


    With just those words, he fell silent.


    A profound silence enveloped him, apanied only by a thousand streams of tears.


    For seventeen years, he had lived in pain and turmoil every day and every moment. Each time he


    thought of the woman he had let down, his eyes inevitably welled up with tears.


    "My greatest regret in this life is that I failed to grant you a true title. Will you hold it against me for


    not fulfilling my duties as a husband and a father?"


    The woman in the photo, her gentle smile like a spring breeze, seemed to gently shake her head,


    disying her generosity and understanding.


    "The world is peaceful and secure..."


    "I owe you in this lifetime. How I will repay it in the next life is up to you."


    Chu Tianxiong stood tall, braving the wind and snow, his figure robust yet imbued with a sense of


    loneliness.


    Ever since he donned the Dragon Robe, since he took on the great responsibility of the former


    emperor, stepped onto the stage to receive the allegiance of the generals, and became the beacon


    of hope for the millions in Donghua, he was no longer himself.


    This life, this heart, belonged to Donghua and the robes of its countless people.


    Loneliness, that was all that remained.
