Origin System, I have a barren mountain

Seeing the worried Lord Cheng, Physician Zhang comforted him, "Lord Cheng, this matter is not necessarily a bad thing. However, Lord Cheng, you must not tell anyone about this, lest others harbor any ill intentions towards you."

Cheng Yunmo was grateful, "Thank you for the reminder, Physician Zhang."

The Zhang family provided a solution within the village, and the villagers treated them with extreme courtesy.

Especially when dealing with Lord Cheng, the Yu family insisted on cleaning their house specifically for Lord Cheng to live in.

The house has a great orientation, a large yard, and a good location.

The Yu family washed the freshly picked fruit from the barren mountain thoroughly and even cooked meat porridge.

The elderly ladies from the Zhang and Yu families were in the courtyard, chatting as they cracked peanuts. Every now and then, they would say to Cheng Yunmo, "Girl, did you like the hot peanuts we just had? They tasted great."

Cheng Yunmo was with the old man, turning his head to look at the ginkgo tree next to him, which was covered with small fruits.

She never dared to imagine such a life before. Now that she was going to become a human, she didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing. Would she become an ordinary person? If she did, would she be disliked by Lord Liu and the others?

As Cheng Yunmo was pondering this, a sudden, urgent knocking on the door shattered the tranquility.

The person at the door doesn't say who they are, and if it weren't broad daylight, the door definitely wouldn't be opened.

The elderly Mrs. Zhang was a little confused, because when she opened the door, standing in front of them was a strange young man covered in blood and looking terrified.

The fact that the young man didn't seem to be from their village made it all the more strange.

"Who are you looking for?"

Grandma Yu suddenly popped her head out from the side and asked with some curiosity.

"Lord Cheng, is she...is she here? I...I'm looking for her..."

The young man collapsed to the ground before he could finish speaking.

Cheng Yunmo heard someone mention her, and as soon as she walked over, she saw him lying on the ground.

When Physician Zhang returned from the desolate mountains, he saw an extra man in Lord Cheng's room, who was unconscious.

He rushed forward and, after a long while, managed to barely revive the person, keeping them alive.

"His body looked like it had been injured by a special sharp weapon, just like Zhenying's wounds, even the symptoms were the same."

Physician Zhang frowned as he held the medicinal herbs he had gathered from the desolate mountains. "I can't solve this problem right now. I'm afraid I'll need you, Lord Cheng, to send this young man directly to the desolate mountains, just like Zhenying did."

Cheng Yunmo was startled, wondering what the Empress Dowager was planning to do.

"it is good."

There was no other way; if this young man wanted to receive treatment, he had to go to work in the barren mountains.

Two or three days had passed when the young man returned. As soon as he came out of the desolate mountain, he knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

“I am a palace guard. The Emperor and Empress are currently being controlled by the Empress Dowager in the palace, and no news can get out.”

The young man's words, spoken while kneeling on the ground, shocked everyone present.

"What did you say?!"

Physician Zhang could hardly believe his ears. In all his years in the palace, the Emperor had never done anything like this before.

Cheng Yunmo was also taken aback, because such a thing should not happen to the Emperor, who has been the Emperor for many years, and the Empress, who is the daughter of Heaven.

No, Cheng Yunmo subconsciously rubbed his temples.

Just now, what I was thinking about wasn't her identity, but rather the fact that such a thing shouldn't have happened in the first place.

"broken."

Cheng Yunmo blurted out.

Unexpectedly, she muttered something to herself, very lightly, something only she could hear.

As a result, everyone present subconsciously turned to look at her.

"Lord Cheng, what do you think we should do about this? The people in our village will listen to you."

The old lady of the Yu family quickly spoke up.

Cheng Yunmo subconsciously looked at Physician Zhang, "Physician Zhang, what do you suggest we do?"

The others exchanged glances, all looking towards Physician Zhang, as it seemed Lord Cheng wanted Physician Zhang to step forward.

Physician Zhang was stunned, and immediately realized what Lord Cheng meant.

“Lord Cheng, I know you must think that I am from the palace and must have a way, but I have no way to deal with this kind of thing.”

Old Mrs. Zhang looked at Lord Cheng with a helpless expression. "Lord Cheng, I know my own son. He's good at treating illnesses, but if you ask him to come up with a solution, he really has no idea."

"Lord Liu, yes, as long as we find him, he will definitely have a solution."

Cheng Yunmo subconsciously thought of Lord Liu. If Lord Liu were here, none of these problems would be a problem.

The guards who got up originally thought that Lord Cheng could take charge of the overall situation, but they did not expect that Lord Cheng would actually mention Lord Liu.

"Lord Cheng, don't you know? Mu Yun is the Empress Dowager's man. He has secretly taken Lord Liu away. It is said that all the people Mu Yun took away are dead. Although there is no news of Lord Liu now, his situation is probably not good either."

Cheng Yunmo was stunned. He had never imagined that Lord Liu would one day be taken away by the Empress Dowager's people.

"No, what nonsense are you talking about? Lord Liu is a man with good fortune. At most, he will only encounter some setbacks. He is the most trusted person by the Emperor's side."

Cheng Yunmo's expression was almost ruined, and she was on the verge of tears. She didn't know when she would suddenly become like this after hearing about Lord Liu's message.

Unbeknownst to them, they had already come to regard Lord Liu as family.

Cheng Yunmo rarely showed tears in her eyes like that, and everyone present was taken aback, staring at her in astonishment.

Cheng Yunmo couldn't hold back the tears welling up in her eyes and immediately prepared to rush back.

"no!"

The guard hadn't expected that Lord Cheng would react so strongly just because he had mentioned Lord Liu's matter.

“Lord Cheng, going back now is courting death. The fact that the Emperor and Empress can be controlled by the Empress Dowager shows that she has no choice but to act now and has a way to directly target the Emperor.”

Grandma Zhang spoke with a hidden meaning.

Cheng Yunmo felt a deep sorrow. If the Emperor should not have been born to the Empress Dowager, then it would not be surprising what the Empress Dowager might do to the Emperor now. But what about Lord Liu?

"The Empress Dowager's methods are beyond the reach of ordinary people like us. Lord Cheng, you must pull yourself together now."

The guard said.

Zhenying frowned; she had fully recovered after leaving the desolate mountains.

She had originally intended to remain invisible, since she couldn't offer any real help.
