Chapter 329: Unworthy of a title
Nan Mubai took out a piece of white paper from his arms.
With a shake in his hand, the white paper slowly unfolded.
"Does it look familiar? This is my Southern Kingdom's heirloom jade pendant, the dragon-patterned jade!" To find the princess aunt, the most important thing is to get back the dragon-patterned jade.
It is said that there is a treasure in the dragon-patterned jade, and it has been passed down as a national heirloom.
Old Mrs. Xu looked pale.
"This is all thanks to your descendant of the Lu family? What's his name? Oh, Lu Jinghuai?"
"I promised him that I would take him away from Beizhao and grant him the status of a king of a different surname in the Southern Kingdom. Unfortunately, he died young..." As soon as he returned, he was stabbed to death by Lu Yuanze.
Xu gently closed her eyes.
This moment has finally arrived.
"Xu Shiyun, this jade has been worn on you many times. You are my Southern bloodline!"
"Aunt Princess." The lost Aunt Princess.
The blood of a peasant girl...
Nan Mubai suppressed his disdain.
"You should go back now. No matter whether I am of Southern blood or not, I will never go back to the Southern Country with you! I am a Northern Zhao person in life and a Northern Zhao soul in death. Now that it has been lost, there is no need to renew our past relationship!" Xu was very calm. She was surrounded by her mother and the Xu brothers.
There is also the old lady of the Duke of Zhenguo.
"Aunt Princess, you probably don't understand the status of the Southern Kingdom's royal family." Nan Mubai couldn't help but reveal a bit of pride.
"You are in Beizhao, the daughter of the old tutor, married to General Rong. Your son is the top scholar, and your daughter is a princess. In Beizhao, perhaps everyone envies you."
"But in the South, it's worth nothing."
"All of this cannot compare to the nobility of the Nan family's bloodline!"
"We, the royal family of the Southern Kingdom, were born to be the agents of the gods in the human world. We communicate with the gods of heaven and earth and are worshipped by millions of people. We are not ordinary people!"
"We are the closest beings to God!"
"Is a place like Beizhao worth your nostalgia?" Nan Mubai was puzzled.
Xu Shiyun shook her head slowly: "Beizhao is the land where I was born and raised. It is great! No matter how good the South is, it cannot compare to it."
"If you want the jade pendant, I can return the dragon-patterned jade to you."
Nan Mubai drooped his eyelids slightly, he wanted the dragon-patterned jade.
This represents the imperial power of the Southern Kingdom.
Seeing that the negotiation between His Royal Highness the Grandson of the Emperor was about to fail, Minglang immediately bowed to Xu.
"Madam, may I come into the mansion to talk?" He was extremely polite, unlike Nan Mubai who was overbearing.
Xu paused and nodded.
After everyone was seated in the hall, Minglang spoke again.
"This matter involves the secrets of the Southern Kingdom, so it is not appropriate to discuss it in front of others."
"When your Majesty was assassinated, he accidentally fell off a cliff and landed by the water. Your biological mother was alone and washing clothes by the river, and she happened to save your Majesty. The two depended on each other and fell in love. After they got married, they spent a year happily together..."
"Later, your biological mother was about to give birth, and Your Majesty went to the county town to sell calligraphy and paintings."
"He happened to be found by the Grand Princess's men and was immediately brought back to the Southern Kingdom's palace. When he wakes up and regains his memory, Your Majesty will go look for him personally..."
"That small mountain village caught fire for no reason and the whole village was reduced to ashes."
Xu clenched his fists slightly.
"It's really interesting. Just as he was taken away, the village caught fire right after. Was he looking for his relatives or seeking revenge?" Xu Shiyun sneered.
Minglang was silent but did not refute.
When His Majesty was first found, he looked terrified and kept shouting that his wife was at home and was about to give birth.
It was the Queen Mother who promised him that she could coax the address of the village out of him and took people to look for it.
Everyone knew about the big fire in the small mountain village.
But no one dared to expose it.
"Your Majesty has never given up all these years and has secretly sent people to look for him. As he grows older, his heart knot becomes hard to untie and he cannot sleep at night..."
"She was giving birth when the fire broke out. When the baby was born, she was already surrounded by fire."
"Back then, she used the money from selling calligraphy and paintings to buy an old servant. She asked the old servant to take her newborn daughter and the token left by the emperor and escape from the back mountain."
"She was bleeding heavily and was only breathing her last breath."
Mrs. Xu held her daughter's hand and said, "She is a miserable person indeed."
Minglang looked at Xu with sympathy. In fact, he also understood that the South Country was a dangerous place for Xu Shiyun.
"Maybe it's fate, maybe it's God's will."
"When she was about to be buried in the sea of fire, a heavy rain suddenly came."
"Half of her face was burned, and her body was covered with countless burns. It's strange that she was able to survive despite the heavy bleeding and burns."
"Madam Ning dragged her body to survive. Over the years, she has been looking for her daughter. She has traveled almost every inch of land in the South..."
"Because of years of crying, one of his eyes is blind. My legs were burned that year, and I walk with a limp." Half of his face was rotten.
What Minglang didn't say was that someone had been hunting Madam Ning for years.
She was dodging pursuit while searching for her lost daughter.
More than thirty years have passed, and Mrs. Ning has become extremely old.
When Your Majesty found her, she was in a very miserable state. She grabbed Your Majesty and kept asking, "Where is my daughter?" What about their children?
Xu felt heavy in her heart.
"How is she now? Has Your Majesty given her a status?" Xu asked in a low voice.
Minglang paused.
Remained silent.
Xu looked at him in shock and anger, sneering: "You're not going to tell me that she saved the emperor's life and gave birth to a daughter for him. And because of him, the whole village was massacred, and she didn't even get a name?"
"Your Majesty wants to give it, but all the civil and military officials and noble families in the court are against it."
"Your Majesty, please place her outside the palace for the time being. Besides, she doesn't want to enter the palace and only wants to find her daughter."
Minglang felt guilty and didn't dare to look at Xu Shiyun's eyes.
It was as if they were abusing each other's mother.
Xu was so angry that she almost laughed.
Regardless of whether the other person is her biological mother or not, it is ridiculous.
Nan Mubai looked at her in surprise.
"Why did she enter the palace? She is a helpless peasant girl. It is a great blessing for her to meet the emperor and give birth to a dragon fetus."
"She has no background and no one to rely on. Her face is burnt and she is crippled. One of her eyes is blind. She has no divine bloodline. If she is allowed to enter the palace, won't the world laugh at her?"
Even Old Mrs. Xu was so angry that she started cursing.
"You are a bunch of conscienceless people. She saved the emperor! Are you going to humiliate her like this?"
"If she hadn't saved the emperor, your old emperor would have died in the river."
"You are such a heartless person, you deserve to die in the river." The old lady cursed with gritted teeth.
We are both mothers. Think about how the other person risked her life to give birth to a child in a fire. He dragged his dying body across the world to look for his daughter, but was still humiliated like this. The old lady was so angry that her heart ached.
Minglang endured the other party's scolding and did not dare to retort.
He is the emperor's confidant and understands what the emperor means.
Now that the emperor is old, the government is controlled by the queen's family. The eldest princess is extremely outstanding, and the court has been hoping that she will succeed to the throne.
If Madam Ning entered the palace, she would definitely become a target and be at the center of the vortex.
She had no children to rely on, and the old emperor was too old to protect her.
