Chapter 90 Past Events
“My mother was raised as a maid since she was little. As she grew older, her appearance became more and more outstanding. That’s when Lady Dingguo treated my mother better and raised her as a young lady.
Later, when Concubine Yun was chosen to enter the palace, the wife of Duke Dingguo asked my mother to follow Concubine Yun into the palace, hoping that she would help Concubine Yun consolidate her favor.
Concubine Yun was not only a deep-minded person, but also extremely vicious. My mother suffered a lot because of being with her.
My mother was also hidden away and was never allowed to see my father. But later on, it was not stopped. My father married my mother and moved her out of the Weiyang Palace, keeping her away from Concubine Yun.
You almost know what happened next. When I was four, my mother became pregnant again, and then she died."
She died at the hands of Concubine Yun, along with the child in her belly.
He didn't know much when he was a child, but he knew one thing: giving birth to a child would result in death.
"My father must have loved my mother very much. When my mother was alive, our family of three lived a relatively happy life.
Although my father doesn't come often, I know that my mother is always very happy every time he comes.
Later, my mother died. My father originally wanted me to live with the Empress, but Duke Dingguo submitted memorials to the emperor several times to persuade him to raise me under the care of Concubine Yun.
Later, Concubine Yun accompanied my father on an outing and accidentally encountered an assassin. To escape, she pushed me out of the carriage, hoping that I would help divert the pursuers. That's when I met you."
Song Yuning reached out and touched Xiao Yunzhan's arm, patting it gently.
"What about Bai Miao? He should know your true identity, right? You two usually get along very well."
Xiao Yunzhan nodded: "My eldest uncle and my mother have some friendship. I don't know if it's because of pity or something else, but he is the only person in the entire Dingguo Mansion who cares about my mother.
Later, I encountered many problems, and it was my uncle who helped me. Bai Miao naturally knew my identity, and our relationship gradually improved. "
Only sincerity can be exchanged for sincerity. It can be seen that Xiao Yunzhan still has some respect for this uncle.
Song Yuning had similar thoughts. The two of them were silent for a while. Song Yuning asked again, "What do you want to do with Duke Dingguo?"
Xiao Yunzhan closed his eyes again and leaned against the bathtub: "Concubine Yun must die. As for the couple, I will give them a chance to die of old age.
If my uncle doesn't change, then the Duke of Dingguo Mansion will be inherited by him. If he changes, then the Duke of Dingguo Mansion will no longer have any reason to exist."
Song Yuning knew what Xiao Yunzhan was thinking, so she nodded and stopped talking. She had a tough battle to fight tomorrow, so she needed to get enough rest.
Just as she was about to fall asleep, Song Yuning's body suddenly became airborne. She quickly hugged Xiao Yunzhan's neck and said, "What are you doing? You scared me."
Xiao Yunzhan said, "The water is cold, let's go back to the room."
Song Yuning suddenly came to his senses and struggled to get down, but Xiao Yunzhan smiled and refused to let him.
"I really need to stop making trouble. I need to be alert tomorrow. Let me go quickly." Song Yuning struggled restlessly.
"I know. That's why I'll move to save your energy. You don't have to move. If you don't exert any effort, you won't get tired." Xiao Yunzhan held Song Yuning and strode towards the bed.
As soon as his butt touched the bed, Song Yuning was about to run, but Xiao Yunzhan quickly grabbed his ankle and pulled him back!
"Don't go too far!"
"Ning'er knows I never go too far."
"Haha!~ Do you think I believe it?"
After struggling in vain, Song Yuning had to stop and finally fell asleep due to exhaustion.
When he woke up the next day, Song Yuning still looked gloomy. He looked at someone next to him who looked satisfied, and kicked him in the butt.
Xiao Yunzhan was not angry. He smiled and helped Song Yuning dress and wash her face. During breakfast, he was busy serving the dishes to Song Yuning.
Seeing all the food in front of him that he loved, Song Yuning reluctantly forgave Xiao Yunzhan temporarily.
In the carriage, Song Yuning chose the right time and closed his eyes for a while. After arriving at the palace, Song Yuning took a deep breath and went to the Queen's Palace to pay his respects refreshed.
This was the first time they met after Concubine Yun was reinstated as a concubine. Song Yuning knew that this time it would not be easy, but she was not afraid. At most, it would just make a big fuss.
In the Queen's palace, several concubines who were familiar with the Queen had already arrived, including Princess Rui and Princess Xin, as well as several ladies with imperial titles.
Seeing Song Yuning, the queen still affectionately pulled her to sit beside her, and the two of them talked affectionately like real mother and daughter.
The several ladies below all looked at each other. They had also heard that the Queen and Princess Xuan hit it off at first sight, but they had not taken it to heart. Now that they saw it with their own eyes, they did not expect that the rumors were actually true.
Moreover, some smart ones have already thought of it several times.
The Queen has no children, and Prince Xuan is now motherless. His wife is a concubine, and her family is not a prominent one. It can be said that no matter which prince, he has a better chance of becoming the crown prince than Xiao Yunzhan.
However, if Prince Xuan and the Queen became mother and son, then his status would be different. The Queen's son would be a legitimate son.
Moreover, the queen's mother's family cannot be underestimated in the court. When people thought of this, the look in their eyes when looking at Song Yuning changed.
After everyone talked for a while, many ladies with royal titles came with their daughters to pay their respects to the Queen. When almost everyone was present, Concubine Yun finally arrived in her best attire.
In the entire hall, everyone except the Queen stood up to greet her. Concubine Yun raised a smile and said, "I'm late, everyone get up!"
As soon as Song Yuning stood up, she felt a cold gaze falling on her. Then Concubine Yun spoke, "When Princess Xuan stood in front of my palace for only half an hour, the cold air entered her body and hurt her.
Later, the Emperor, the Empress, and I all rewarded Princess Xuan with many nourishing medicines. How come after half a year, there is still no good news for Princess Xuan?
Although Prince Xuan is no longer my son, he was raised by my side until he grew up. Seeing that he still has no offspring, I am worried.
It just so happens that I have two maids by my side, both of whom are good at bearing children. Why don’t Princess Xuan take them back and have children for Prince Xuan?”
Song Yuning was stunned. She had been on guard for a long time and was prepared that Concubine Yun would beat her with a stick and torture her, but she didn't expect that Concubine Yun would force a woman on Xiao Yunzhan.
She doesn't think that this can make her heartbroken, right?
But when you think about it, for a woman, this is indeed a very uncomfortable thing. After all, who doesn't like her husband to only love her?
What's more, Song Yuning was injured and couldn't get pregnant. If Xiao Yunzhan's concubine became pregnant, it would be a long-term mental torture for her.
Unfortunately, Song Yuning had been prepared from the beginning that Xiao Yunzhan would have many women, and she would not be sad about it.
