Chapter 480 She is actually Mrs. Shen’s mother
"Since she wants to come in and see me, let her come in with her."
The old nun reluctantly moved aside and let Pei Miao in.
Shen Zhao was led inside by the old nun, and a nun who had her back to them turned around.
There was a peaceful look in Master Wuyou's eyes, and she couldn't tell at all that the sharp voice she had heard outside just now came from the person in front of her.
Chen Zhao stared at Nun Wuyou's face in a daze.
She seemed to have seen Princess Zhongyi somewhere before.
But she couldn't remember it for a moment.
A gentle and calm voice came from Master Wuyou.
"This poor nun pays homage to His Majesty."
Shen Zhao withdrew his thoughts and bowed to Nun Wuyou as a junior.
"Chu Mu pays homage to the loyal and righteous princess."
The moment Chen Zhao raised his head, he happened to see a flash of displeasure in Nun Wuyou's eyes.
This hint of displeasure was directed at Chu Mu.
"You are Chu Mu? The son-in-law of the Shen family."
Sure enough, the next sentence Princess Zhongyi said confirmed Shen Zhao's guess.
"It's me, the younger one. Princess Zhongyi seems to recognize me?"
Nun Wuyou immediately refused:
"I have been a Buddhist for over thirty years, how could I possibly recognize the prince?"
"If your Highness wants to know, just ask. I will tell you everything I know."
Nun Wuyou's attitude suddenly turned cold.
An expression that keeps people at a distance.
When Shen Zhao was thinking about how Chu Mu had offended Princess Zhongyi, a voice broke into Shen Zhao's mind.
[He is the blind and heartless husband that Zhao Zhao had so blindly chosen.]
[I didn't want to bother with him, but that old bastard, for that damned Xuanyuan woman, actually put my child in dire straits. How can I bear this?]
Shen Zhao looked at Princess Zhongyi curiously.
Her tone was gentle when she called Zhao Zhao.
Shen Zhao was sure that she did not recognize Princess Zhongyi, and had never met her before.
wrong!
Twenty-three years ago, she had met her. She was brought back to the Shen family by her father from the Jokhang Temple.
What exactly happened twenty-three years ago?
Does my father know that Pei Miao is still alive?
All this was like a fog that enveloped her, and the loyal and righteous princess in front of her might be the one to dispel the fog.
Chen Zhao sat down opposite Princess Zhongyi, while Pei Miao stood awkwardly beside the old nun. She seemed very afraid of Nun Wuyou and didn't even have the courage to look up at her.
Nun Wuyou also didn't even look at Pei Miao, as if other than Chen Zhao in front of her, other people didn't exist to her.
"Does Master know who the old prince is thinking about?"
Shen Zhao asked knowingly, she just wanted to stimulate Princess Zhongyi so that she could hear her true thoughts from the bottom of her heart.
A hint of hatred flashed across Nun Wuyou's eyes, but her face remained calm as she said:
"Xuanyuan clan."
"Who is Xuanyuan?" Shen Zhao pretended to be surprised.
The hatred in the old princess's eyes intensified, "The mother of His Majesty and the Ninth Prince."
In my eyes, she doesn't deserve the title of honor. She was the late emperor's favorite woman, yet she willingly stooped to a lowly position and had an affair with someone else, giving birth to the Ninth Prince's bastard. Even that old man was bewitched by that bitch and lost his mind.
If it weren't for the Xuanyuan clan, how could I be disliked by the King of Loyalty and Righteousness? How could I have made a mistake and been caught by the King of Loyalty and Righteousness, leading to the separation of mother and daughter and being driven to the Jokhang Temple?
[If I were still the Princess of Loyalty, how could those bastards dare to bully my descendants? She is clearly my daughter, but her husband and children were exiled, and she herself worked as a slave in the Princess's Mansion for several years.]
[One of the two daughters she raised was an ungrateful person who tried to poison her and was imprisoned in the Sky Prison.]
[The other one almost died young. If I hadn't sought medical treatment for that child, Zhao Zhao would have died twenty-three years ago.]
[But I married the wrong person and suffered so much. I have many skills, but I am suppressed by that old immortal and cannot help.]
Chen Zhao listened to the old princess's voice, and his heart was already in turmoil.
My father was not the biological son of the late emperor, but the son of my grandmother's affair with another man.
This also seems to explain why the late emperor did such beastly things to the Ninth Prince.
And she finally remembered why she felt that the old princess looked familiar. It was because when she was young, she secretly saw Shen's mother looking at the portrait of Princess Zhongyi and secretly shedding tears.
The reason why I didn't think of it just now was because the old princess in front of me looked much older than the portrait of her in her middle age, but her general outline and eyes and eyebrows could still show her original charm.
This also made her understand why Shen's mother agreed to let Shen's father hold her and go to the Jokhang Temple to pray for blessings when the real Shen Zhao was about to die.
Because Shen's mother knew that her biological mother was in the Jokhang Temple.
This also explains the crazy and unbelievable look on Shen's mother's face after she learned that she was not her biological daughter.
At that time, Shen's mother was hesitant to speak. There is no greater sorrow than heartbreak. Perhaps she felt that her daughter's replacement was also related to her own biological mother.
Shen Zhao only knew that Shen's mother came from a humble family. Combined with the old princess's words just now, it was not difficult to conclude that Shen's mother's true identity was the old princess's illegitimate daughter.
And Shen's mother herself knows all this clearly!
Shen Zhao thought of another important matter.
That is, the old princess didn't know that she and Pei Miao were switched.
She seemed to have guessed why the old princess tortured Pei Miao in this way. She treated Pei Miao as the daughter of the Ninth Prince.
The Ninth Prince is the descendant of the Xuanyuan clan, and the old princess vented all her hatred on Pei Miao.
Pei Miao's life was filled with extreme misery and despair, unable to live or die.
Chen Zhao's guilt towards Pei Miao reached its peak at this moment, so all of Pei Miao's suffering was suffered for her.
She didn't have to go through all this.
Shen Zhao now wanted to know more urgently whether his father knew about all this.
Chen Zhao calmed down and asked, "How much does the old princess know about the Xuanyuan family?"
"How much do you know about the old prince's feelings for the queen mother?"
The old princess pondered for a moment and said:
"I don't know much about the Xuanyuan clan. Back then, the emperor's biological mother and the second prince's biological mother were recommended to the palace by different clans in Nanchu, where the Xuanyuan clan was located."
"The people of the Xuanyuan clan are skilled in strange and uncanny skills. They are born different from ordinary people."
"For example, the Holy Lord's biological mother was born with a unique fragrance. As long as she wanted to seduce a man, there was no man who would not crawl at her feet."
"For example, the Second Prince's biological mother, the woman who almost became the Empress Dowager, was delicate and frail, not in the ordinary sense of the word."
"She was as if boneless, her body able to curl up freely, even able to bend into a narrow wooden box, without showing any sign of pain."
"A palm dance captivated the late emperor and his ministers. She could truly dance on the palms of people's hands, lightly and gracefully."
"Unlike the Majesty's biological mother, who only seduced whoever she wanted to seduce, the Second Prince's biological mother seduced every man indiscriminately."
The old princess had a sarcastic smile on her face.
"The women of the Xuanyuan clan were born to seduce men."
"The King of Loyalty was so bewitched by the women of the Xuanyuan clan that he abandoned his wife and daughter."
As he said this, he glanced at Pei Miao with cold eyes.
"Someone who has no self-respect, no self-love, and yet is willing to be despicable."
