Hearing the word "Murong", Chu Yunning was suddenly startled and subconsciously raised his eyes to look at the fish eating snacks not far away.
He is a handsome young man as always, with delicate and picturesque eyebrows, an outstanding temperament, and a pair of innocent pupils.
"Mom, is Uncle Yu'er in danger?" Beibei looked worried. After he finished his dream, he couldn't wait to find Chu Yunning.
He was worried that something bad might happen to Uncle Yu'er.
Chu Yunning immediately comforted Beibei: "Don't worry, mother will find a way to avoid all this. You are not allowed to tell Uncle Yu'er about this, okay?"
"Um."
"So good."
Chu Yunning originally planned to send Concubine Murong Xian to the imperial mausoleum, but now she changed her mind.
She cooked a few dishes and ate with Yu'er and Beibei. After the two of them had eaten and drank, Yu'er took Beibei by the hand and left. Before leaving, Chu Yunning told the two of them to pay attention to their safety and not to go out alone.
.
"Sister Ning, don't worry, I know."
After the two left, Chu Yunning immediately asked Bixiu to inquire about Murong's family: "You must inquire clearly, especially Miss Murong San."
"yes."
She waited for about half an hour and planned to see Concubine Murong Xian. She found a palace maid to lead the way and walked into a palace called Lingshui Palace.
After knocking on the palace door, the palace maid was surprised to see her coming. She quickly turned back to see Concubine Murong Xian. After a while, a beautiful and refined woman came out. Although she was already in her thirties, she was well maintained.
She looked several years younger than her real age, and she was dressed very simply, in an elegant plain dress, with only a hosta in her black hair. When she saw her coming, she just smiled.
"I have been waiting for Chu Shang Palace for two full days. I have already prepared tea. Please come inside."
Chu Yunning smiled. She didn't dislike Concubine Murong Xian at first sight. She nodded and walked in. The palace was spotlessly clean and the furnishings were simple. It didn't look like a concubine lived there.
"It's a little crude and makes you laugh." Concubine Murong Xian poured a cup of tea, handed one cup to Chu Yunning, and placed the other cup in front of her.
Chu Yunning took it and sniffed the faint scent of tea. This was not fresh tea, but old tea.
But she wasn't picky, she drank half the glass with her head lowered, holding it in her hand and looking at her.
"I have no money, and I have no intention of leaving the harem. I will just find a corner and die quietly." Concubine Murong Xian confessed generously: "I have a bad reputation. If I leave the harem, I will be the first in my family to forgive me."
Chu Yunning thought of Beibei's dream, and her tone became much gentler: "Why should Concubine Xian belittle herself?"
"The emperor is no longer a member of the royal family, so there is no concubine left. If you don't mind, just call me Lingwan."
"Lingwan."
Murong Lingwan glanced sideways out of the window and sighed longly, her face showing a look of peace and tranquility.
At this time, Bixiu arrived and nodded to Chu Yunning without leaving a trace. Seeing this, Chu Yunning turned to Murong Lingwan and smiled slightly: "Lingwan, if you have anything to do, you might as well tell me, like
Let’s talk like friends and confidants, maybe I can help you.”
"Why are you helping me? I can't give you anything you want." Murong Lingyuan smiled bitterly: "So don't waste your time and do whatever you want."
Chu Yunning shook her head; "It's a woman, so why bother to make things difficult for women? I won't do anything for you. I also heard that you were imprisoned for ten years, and I felt a little pity."
Mentioning those ten years, a coldness gradually appeared on Murong Lingwan's face, and she drank all the tea in her hand.
"Lingwan, parents are not the only relatives in this world. Daughters of big families often have no choice but to have brothers and sisters..."
Speaking of brothers and sisters, Murong Lingwan frowned and looked at Chu Yunning.
"I have kept you in the harem for ten years. I can give you freedom and let you have the opportunity to see the rivers and lakes of various countries and the mountains and rivers outside. Your visit to this world will not be in vain."
Hearing this, Murong Lingwan was even more incredible and even a little flattered.
"Chu Yunning, I can't give you anything..."
"I know."
Murong Lingwan still refused to believe it.
"You have nothing, why are you worried?" Chu Yunning blinked at her. After a while, Murong Lingwan suddenly made a request: "Is there any wine? Let's have a drink."
"Bixiu!" Chu Yunning said to Bixiu without hesitation: "Go to the warehouse and pick out two jars of good wine."
There must be a lot of wine in the treasury of Xihai.
Half an hour later, a table of delicious food and wine was placed. Chu Yunning took a few sips.
The taste is pretty good, not spicy, and has a light fruity aroma.
Murong Lingwan poured a glass of wine and drank it down boldly. After drinking three bowls in a row, she spoke: "I was married before I entered the palace, but he died suddenly before I could marry him. I had to be carried along the same way."
When I returned to Murong's house, I happened to catch up with the draft. The family sent me directly to the palace. I quickly became favored because of my beauty. But then the family sent a girl from the side branch, and she stepped on my shoulders and accepted the favor and got pregnant.
, it’s a pity that the child was not born.”
"And she also bled to death. The emperor thought it was me who did this, so he imprisoned me for ten years. How ridiculous."
She wasted the best years of her life and didn't even get a chance to see her two daughters when they got married.
"When I heard that he died, the hatred in my heart disappeared." Murong Lingwan cried as she spoke.
Chu Yun listened quietly, taking a sip of wine and eating vegetables from time to time, and kept asking: "What happened next?"
"Later, my family finally turned around. I was slandered again for having an affair with a guard, and was imprisoned again. The days were counted day after day. The whole family was ashamed of me."
"Then what do you think?"
"I have never done it, so I can't admit it easily, but I have no evidence to stop these people's mouths. The year before last, my father and mother were forced to death by family members, and my whole family was expelled from the genealogy. Now the Murong family is clean
net."
Chu Yunning sighed and asked again: "Do you know who framed you?"
"The former queen is now Mrs. Hou."
Hearing this, Chu Yunning's hand while pouring the wine paused. She always felt that she was almost becoming a master of Qingtian now, constantly filing lawsuits.
"Even though she looks kind on the outside, she can be poisonous in private." Murong Lingwan's teeth itched with hatred.
Chu Yunning poured her another glass of wine and asked, "How did you offend that Yao family member?"
There were countless concubines in the harem, many of them had children, and many of them were beautiful. Murong Lingwan was not too outstanding.
How did this feud come to be?
"She didn't become a queen as soon as she entered the palace. She has killed many people under her command. She became pregnant in the second month after entering the palace, but the fetus was unstable. I also had a child in my belly at that time, Qin Tianjian said
The two children were in conflict, and only one could be kept. Before the emperor could make a decision, her unborn heir was gone."
Chu Yunning couldn't help but feel a little angry when he heard this: "Which Imperial Supervisor said this? Isn't this misleading? How could such a young child be so conflicted?"
Unless it was Mrs. Hou, there was no way she could have saved her pregnancy.
