Chapter no. 28

(Qin Zetian's POV)

Everyone was busy unloading their stuff. My mother brought the empress and Roushi to her room and talk of random things. While I decided to look out for the three children. I have no problem with the twins because when my brother arrived home not long ago they already bonded like real brothers and liked to be with him. They asked lots of questions and my brother enjoyed their company so they went out and tried horseback riding.

I eventually asked Roushi a favor and told her to guard her mom before she left, I have a gut feeling that something bad might happen to the empress and so I told Roushi to be with her mom at all times. Her mom is heavily poisoned so she needed utmost care and I need to tell my mom about that when the time is right. I will also look for a cure or make them on my own ability. For the meantime Weishen was left with me.

I brought her to my courtyard and placed her next to my room. There weren't too many things she brought with her, so I let the maidservants take care of the arrangements. I led her to my room. I also told Han Yuomei to prepare a bath and let Han Wan choose little dresses from my closet that will fit Weishen.

"Shen'er, come close to me. Let me see your hands"

She obediently came close to me and her hands reached mine. I held them, but I wondered why she wore suck thick gloves. I pinch her hands lightly, and I saw the changes on her facial expression. I immediately removed the gloves and saw her hands covered in bruises. My eyes widened, I suddenly lifted her sleeves and saw more bruises. There were old and newly made. In my uncle's absence who tried to bully her? What happened back there and who did these?

"Tell big sister who bullied you?"

Her tears slowly poured out of her cute little eyes, and sadness enveloped them. As she shook her head. This child is traumatized, what could have happened back there?

"Did the servants back there bully you? Shen'er tell me" but she only cried in a deafening silence

"Han Wan can you retrieve some medicines for me, find some bandages for the bruises and cold leaves."

"Han Yuomei, make sure that the water is warmer than how I want it to be when I take a bath and pour milk and honey"

I touched her hair and felt that it was too rough. Her hands were not only filled with bruises, it also have a thick layer of calluses. Such a poor child, my uncle might have not known what happened to his daughter because he was far away, the only time he got home was when I opened the restaurant and attended a onetime event. Back then the emperor immediately released orders so he rushed back to his post and never had the time to check on this child. It's good that she is here now.

"Don't cry anymore, from now on you'll have big sister. Big sister will protect you. Don't worry okay. I will cure you, a month before the exams for the capital school starts. I will teach you everything that you want to learn. You're not alone anymore, in this battle you have me. Do you understand? You have me, you have this family and you're never gonna be alone again"

"Big sister wuwu"

I patted her head slowly. And examined her scalp, there were dried blood from the cuts. How many times have they injured her head?

I will investigate this!
