Hui was a palace maid who used to serve the Grand Empress Dowager and was her dowry maid.

Hui was born beautiful, with skin as white as snow, and her every frown and smile could touch other people's hearts.

When the Grand Concubine Dowager entered the palace, she was chosen as one of the dowries and was also prepared.

At that time, the Grand Empress Dowager was still young and had her own favorite lover, and her mind was not on the emperor at all.

After several years, after enduring many schemes and cold stares, he finally realized that he could only live in this palace, fighting openly and secretly.

It's too late to compete for favor now.

She was already poorly favored by the emperor, and had not been able to conceive a child, which made her increasingly anxious.

So she pushed forward Hui Shi, hoping that Hui Shi would join her in winning the emperor's heart.

Hui was beautiful and gentle, so the emperor loved her very much and soon she became pregnant.

The emperor stayed in Hui's Palace every other day and took good care of her, and the Grand Concubine Dowager gradually became jealous.

It didn't matter that she couldn't win the favor, Hui Shi was just her tool. She announced to the public that Hui Shi was someone she brought from her mother's family, and in her eyes, she was like her own sister.

After ten months of pregnancy, Hui gave birth to a prince and named him Yun.

Just when everyone thought that she would become a famous mother with her son and rise from a sparrow to a phoenix, she fell ill for no apparent reason in the first snow when Chen Yun was a little over one year old.

After nearly two months of treatment, his condition became more serious and he eventually died.

Everyone lamented that she was not blessed enough and was not destined to enjoy happiness.

Little did they know that Hui's illness that day was not without cause, and her death was not a natural disaster, but was planned by the Grand Empress Dowager, with the purpose of killing the mother and taking away her son.

In the palace, without a son, there will be no future.

For my own position, for the glory of my mother's family, for the chance to become the queen mother in the future, and even more so for someone to take care of me in my old age...

Therefore, she set her sights on Hui Shi. This son must be hers.

Hui Shi had to rely on herself, without any maternal family behind her.

In ancient times, it was normal for people to die of illness.

So the Grand Empress Dowager planned a grand plot to kill the mother and keep the child, killing Hui and taking her child for herself.

However, she missed a step.

That was Chen Yun’s wet nurse.

Others may not know about your own body, but you know it best.

Huishi vaguely knew why he was sick, and he also knew that he would not live long.

Since she fell ill, the Grand Concubine Dowager no longer allowed her to see her children, saying that she was afraid that she would pass her illness on to the prince.

So when Chen Yun's wet nurse was free, she would chat with her from a distance with her face covered with a veil, to show concern for Chen Yun's recent situation.

Hui was born a servant and had no arrogant temper. During the year she lived with wet nurse Chen Yun, she took good care of her and treated her like a sister.

When the two met for the last time, Hui burst into tears and asked the wet nurse to take good care of Chen Yun in the future.

The wet nurse always knew that Hui Shi could not get sick for no reason.

She tried several times to find her fellow doctor Jiang from her hometown to diagnose Huishi and see if there was any room for recovery, but Huishi refused.

After Hui passed away, Chen Yun's wet nurse was extremely sad and she wanted an answer.

So he tricked Wyeth into giving him the medicine residue, and finally got the answer from Imperial Doctor Jiang.

She was furious and wanted to hold Chen Yun and go to the emperor to ask for an explanation, but was stopped by Qing'er, who served closely beside Hui.

Qing'er said that Huishi had long known that all this was a man-made disaster.

But Hui said that her life was worthless and anyone in the palace could easily take her life.

I can die, but my son must live well.

The Grand Concubine can take good care of her son for her.

All of this is Wyeth's own choice.

……

Chen Yun was silent for a moment, then said slowly, "That day, Chen Zhining said that the Grand Concubine was not my biological mother. She is indeed not... Originally, I wanted to pick a suitable time to tell you in person."

Su Xiaoman looked at him blankly, not knowing how to comfort him. She just moved slightly towards him and knelt quietly beside him.

Chen Yun nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Do you blame me?"

Su Xiaoman held his arm and comforted him, "Silly boy, how could I blame you? You must have your reasons for not telling me. When the time is right, you will naturally be willing to tell me."

Chen Yun smiled, patted her hands, and continued, "The tablet enshrined here is for my mother. She didn't like the cage-like life in the palace, so I took the initiative to write only her original surname "Hui" on her tablet."

Su Xiaoman was full of thoughts and asked, "You placed my mother's tablet in the secret room because you were afraid that my mother would be unhappy?"

Chen Yun: "She tortured my mother, so she is not worthy of my respectful title of mother. I have wanted to kill her countless times... But death is the easiest. I want her to live a life a hundred times more painful than my mother's when she was sick!"

His expression became noticeably fierce, his breathing became heavier, and the raised blue veins on the back of his hand snaked all the way down to his forearm.

He panted heavily, thinking back to the days and nights when he was beaten by the Grand Concubine Dowager as a child.

The other princes took two days to memorize the books, but he only took half a day;

It took other princes five days to learn a certain martial arts move, but he only took one day.

The Yin hour every day is the time when his mother checks his homework, and it is the time that Chen Yun dreads the most.

What greeted him every day was not the first ray of light in the morning, nor the soft voices of his father and mother, but her beatings and bad words.

She scolded herself harshly, saying that she was a waste who couldn't be a crown prince! She was a fool who couldn't attract her father's attention!

She cruelly whipped herself with an iron chain to prevent herself from crying or begging for mercy!

Only after she finished scolding him every day would she seem to feel relieved, and then she would go back to her bedroom to put on makeup and pay her respects to the queen.

Chen Yun's wet nurse could no longer tolerate this, so she told him the truth when he was old enough to understand.

There is only one purpose: to make Chen Yun understand that he needs to strengthen himself, break free from the control of the Grand Concubine Dowager, and more importantly, protect himself.

After all, Chen Yun was born in a palace where people were eaten without leaving any bones.

Chen Yun's wet nurse was terribly afraid that she would not be able to protect Chen Yun.

She was extremely afraid that the Grand Concubine Dowager would abandon Chen Yun and find another child to raise, and that Chen Yun would die like Hui Shi.

Ever since the day Chen Yun moved away from the Grand Empress Dowager, he carved this tablet with his own hands. Wherever he is, the tablet will be there.

There is also such a dark room in the room of Yunqing Garden in Prince Jing’s Mansion.

Xun Kang would refill the oil lamp regularly.

These were the pains he had buried in his heart for many years. The last time he mentioned them to Chen Yin, he was still a child.

Now he dusted off the dust and uncovered it again, wanting Su Xiaoman to know the real him. He didn't want Su Xiaoman to hear everything about himself from other people.

He hopes that Su Xiaoman will fall in love with the complete him.

The more painful memories he had, the more depressed Chen Yun felt. His face suddenly turned pale and he began to tremble. Fine sweat oozed from his forehead, and his lips and teeth began to tremble. His usual dignity was gone.

Su Xiaoman didn't hesitate at all. She stretched out her arms and hugged him tightly, saying softly, "Don't think about it, let's not think about it... You still have me, you still have me..."
