Chapter 59
Nan Rongjing's mother was originally named Chen Huayue, and she was the daughter of the leader of a mountain stronghold in Ningzhou.
At that time, Bai Pu invaded, and Shen Huayue and his father went into battle to kill the enemy, but they were outnumbered. Shen Huayue's father was injured, so they had to withdraw their troops and lead the people in the village to escape.
Chen Huayue had followed his father through thick and thin since childhood, and since he was skilled in martial arts, he stayed behind to clean up the mess.
But she never expected that she would be captured by the Baipu people, and Shen Huayue was given to the King of Baipu.
At that time, King Bai Pu already had a queen and a child. It was said that King Bai Pu and the queen were very affectionate, but as soon as Shen Huayue appeared, King Bai Pu's eyes never left Shen Huayue.
Chen Huayue is beautiful, with eyes that are curved inward and outward, and her beauty is very aggressive. Even women would take a few more glances at her when they see her.
Prince Bai Pu liked Shen Huayue very much, and without saying a word, he made Shen Huayue his concubine.
Shen Huayue naturally didn't want to, but she was drugged and couldn't move. After struggling several times, Shen Huayue still couldn't escape her fate.
On the day she arrived at Baipu Palace, King Baipu took her as his wife.
After that, Shen Huayue lived in pain and looked for ways to escape every day.
In order to avoid being discovered, she was very quiet every day, eating quietly and drinking quietly.
After being imprisoned for ten days, King Bai Pu thought that Shen Huayue no longer wanted to leave, so he asked someone to follow her for a walk in the palace to relieve her boredom.
Chen Huayue felt that she finally had the chance to go out, but she was not familiar with the terrain of the palace. She had to go out for a walk every day to understand the terrain of the palace.
Fortunately, the Baipu Palace was not big, and Shen Huayue quickly figured out the terrain of the Baipu Palace.
Prince Bai Pu treated her very well. He gave her all the delicacies in the palace and came to see Chen Huayue every now and then.
Just as Shen Huayue was about to pack up and prepare to escape, Shen Huayue fainted on the ground.
When he woke up again, there was only a maidservant serving him personally.
Shen Huayue looked at her dazedly, knowing that her escape plan had failed.
"Your Highness has finally woken up. You've been in a coma for a whole day and night." The maid brought some water and helped Shen Huayue drink a few sips. "Your Highness must take good care of yourself. If not for yourself, then think about the child in your belly."
Shen Huayue froze in place when she heard this, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Child, she had a child.
Soon, King Bai Pu came to see her and told her to have a good rest. If she wanted to meet her family, he would let her meet her family after she gave birth to the child.
This sentence in disguise trapped Shen Huayue in the palace.
Ten months later, Shen Huayue was born, and King Bai Pu named him Jing.
After Nan Rongjing was born, King Baipu was very happy, but he never mentioned letting Shen Huayue meet his parents again.
Every time Shen Huayue opened her mouth, Prince Bai Pu would avoid the topic and talk about other things.
Gradually, the frequency increased and Shen Huayue stopped mentioning it.
When Nan Rongjing was eight months old, King Bai Pu brought news to Shen Huayue that his father had passed away and no one in the village knew where he had gone.
Because Shen Huayue had a difficult delivery and was very weak, she fainted immediately.
After that, Shen Huayue was always sick and lifeless, and had to take medicine every day to stay alive.
When Nan Rongjing was three years old, Shen Huayue called him over and told him what kind of person his grandfather was and asked him not to forget her.
On the second day, Shen Huayue left the palace. Only then did everyone realize that her body had recovered long ago and she had been taking medicine just to avoid suspicion.
She had been preparing to leave for a long time.
Although Shen Huayue escaped, King Bai Pu did not neglect Nan Rongjing because of this. Instead, he loved him even more.
The excessive favor made the queen and her son feel uneasy, so they began to find fault with Nan Rongjing.
When Nan Rongjing grew up, the two men took advantage of the time when Prince Bai Pu left the palace and actually wanted to kill Nan Rongjing. So Nan Rongjing left Prince Bai Pu's palace with his personal guards and came all the way to Daliang, which is now the Great Chu.
He first took the token and found the place where his grandfather and the people in the village had escaped to.
However, when they fled there, his grandfather had already died and there was no one to lead them, so they asked the educated Zhao Huairen to lead the way.
More than ten years have passed, and those old people are no longer around, and many people have forgotten that history.
Nan Rongjing entered Leping Village and handed it over to the then village chief, Ning Hua, who then took them in and hid for a while.
Nan Rongjing originally thought that he would see Shen Huayue here, but when he arrived he found out that Shen Huayue had passed away three years after returning here.
They said that the eldest lady lived a very happy life during those three years.
Nan Rongjing stood in front of his mother's grave, looking at the sky where birds were flying freely. He thought that these three years should be the best and freest three years his mother had lived since she was arrested.
Later, the people around the eldest prince chased to the vicinity of Leping Village, and Nan Rongjing ran away in order not to implicate the people of Leping Village.
However, Lin Yao was injured at that time and it was not suitable for him to continue fleeing, so he pretended to be a native of Leping Village and got away with it.
Lin Yu and Nan Rongjing were chased all the way to the capital.
The two men had used up all their money by the time they arrived in the capital, and could barely fill their stomachs.
In order not to be conspicuous, the two of them wore clothes given by the people of Leping Village, which were coarse linen and very rough.
Not only that, the two of them would not stay together during the day, and would only move within the sight of each other.
So not long after Nan Rongjing entered the Lu Mansion, Lin Yu also entered the Lu Mansion.
Nan Rongjing still remembers that when he first met Lu Ling, he felt his heart stopped beating, and at that moment, he forgot to breathe.
Lu Ling asked Nan Rongjing what his name was. Nan Rongjing remembered that his mother told him that there was a kind of grass in his hometown called Wangyou, which means forgetting sorrow, so he named himself Shen Wangyou.
Lu Ling asked a few questions, and Nan Rongjing was stunned. He felt that he was sick, touched his forehead, and found that he didn't have a fever.
Then, as if possessed by some mysterious force, he followed Lu Ling back to the Lu Mansion.
Everything that happened after that seemed like a dream. He was studying with Lu Ling, even though he didn't recognize any of the words and couldn't write them.
Lu Ling read it to him word by word, and his handwriting improved a little, but it was still far from as good as Lu Ling's.
In order to prove the fact that he was fleeing, Nan Rongjing hid his martial arts and did not let anyone find out.
That day, Lu Ling expressed his feelings to Nan Rongjing, and Nan Rongjing agreed without hesitation. Although many people in the Lu family disliked him, Nan Rongjing felt that as long as he was with Lu Ling, it would be okay no matter how much suffering he had to endure.
The Lu family was kind-hearted. Seeing that Nan Rongjing did not return to work, they found a job for Nan Rongjing.
The Lu Mansion was safe. The people around the eldest prince did not find Nan Rongjing's whereabouts and left early.
Nan Rongjing thought it would be nice to spend the rest of his life with Lu Ling, but unfortunately things did not go as he wished. Three days before the wedding, the eunuch beside the emperor came to Nan Rongjing's residence.
He wanted Nan Rongjing to go to the Lu Mansion to confiscate the property. Nan Rongjing was naturally unwilling to do so, but the eunuch said that if he didn't go, no one in the Lu Mansion would survive. If he went, there might be a chance of saving them.
Nan Rongjing agreed.
Later, someone wanted to torture Lu Ling again. He intercepted the other person's torture and interrogated Lu Ling himself, but to no avail. The man could not bear it any longer.
Nan Rongjing went to talk again, saying that he would definitely be able to get something out of it this time.
So he tortured Lu Ling.
When Lu Ling was being tortured, he couldn't bear it and walked aside, not daring to watch.
It was originally thought that nothing would happen to the Lu family, but unexpectedly, only Lu Ling and the maidservant around him were left. Not only that, Lu Ling was also exiled to Shuzhou, which was very close to Baipu.
Nan Rongjing had no choice but to find out whether the eldest prince had sent people to chase him, while taking care of the affairs of Daliang and preparing to go to Shuzhou to find Lu Ling.
He received news that King Bai Pu had returned to the palace and had placed the eldest prince under house arrest after learning of his actions, so no one was chasing him anymore. Coincidentally, his affairs in the court had been dealt with at this time, so he resigned and fled to Shuzhou.
But when he saw Lu Ling again, the young lady who was held in Lu Xing's arms was doing all kinds of rough work. He felt so distressed that he wanted to take Lu Ling away.
But at that time, in Lu Ling's heart, he was the culprit who killed her entire family. He asked Lu Ling for forgiveness several times, but Lu Ling ignored him every time.
Since he couldn't enter the military camp, he went to ask Bai Xichen for help. Even though he could see that his good friend was interested in Lu Ling, he still asked him to take him there.
He originally thought that Lu Ling was going to forgive him, but he never thought that she was going to kill him. When he saw Lu Ling tremblingly raising the dagger in her hand, he knew that Lu Ling was reluctant to do so.
In that case, then do it for her yourself so that she won't be scared.
When he fell off the cliff, he thought he was going to die, but fortunately there was a tree to support him, and there was a river below, so Nan Rongjing did not die.
It was not far from Leping Village, so he went to Leping Village.
After staying in Leping Village for a long time, he couldn't let go of Lu Ling, so he thought about going back to find Lu Ling. Although some things happened on the way, fortunately Lu Ling was fine.
Lu Ling tried to leave Leping Village several times. Nan Rongjing naturally knew what Lu Ling was thinking, but the officers and soldiers outside kept chasing Lu Ling, so he didn't dare to take the risk.
Moreover, he also has selfish motives.
In order not to reveal his identity, Nan Rongjing also asked Ning Hua to move the weapons buried beside the field to the mountain. Fortunately, everything went well.
Later, the two of them opened a shop, and Nan Rongjing thought it would be nice to continue living like this.
Later, Lu Ling went to the Dali Temple to overturn the verdict. Lu Ling's family was finally cleared of the injustice, and Lu Ling became the general as he wished.
Although the two of them seldom met each other, their lives were pretty good. Nan Rongjing felt like he was dreaming, as he and Lu Ling finally had a peaceful and stable life.
Later, an epidemic broke out in the capital, and Lu Ling was busy all the time and had no time to come back. It happened that Lin Yu brought people to find him at this time.
Lin Yu said that Prince Bai Pu was critically ill and asked him to return to the palace immediately. Nan Rongjing didn't know what to do for a moment, and how he should explain it to Lu Ling.
What should I do if Lu Ling doesn’t see me when I get home?
Later he left a painting in the house and said that he would come back to find Lu Ling soon.
He left the peace locket to Zhao Zhenzhen, asked Zhao Zhenzhen to give it to Lu Ling, and then returned to Baipu.
When Nan Rongjing returned to Baipu, his father was on his last breath. At the last moment, he passed the throne to him and asked him to attack Daliang and recapture the cities that originally belonged to Baipu.
Although Nan Rongjing was born by "mistake", he doesn't have many memories of his mother, so his father, who doted on him the most since childhood, is his only relative.
There was no way he could go against his father's wishes.
Nan Rongjing thought that if he could recapture those cities, he would have no worries and could look for Lu Ling.
But Lu Ling arrived in Shuzhou before him, and came to attack Baipu. When they met on the battlefield, he knew that he had no chance.
Lu Ling was injured that day, and he was extremely anxious, but he could not find any information about Lu Ling.
Then Lu Ling rebelled against Liang, and he knew she could do it.
Sure enough, not long after, he received the news that Lu Ling had ascended the throne, and he wanted to go to the capital immediately to congratulate her.
But no, he is the King of Baipu now, and he has to think about his country.
So he arranged everything, brought Lin Yu and Lin Yao, and came to the capital...
