It turns out that Lin Shuyao's mother, Lin Mengxi, was originally just a concubine's daughter of the Lin family. Because her biological mother died early, she was raised under the name of the current old lady of the Lin family. In the family, except for her elder sister Lin Mengping and her biological mother, Old Madam Lin, she was not liked by anyone else, and was not favored by her father and grandmother.
At that time, Lin Shuyao's grandfather decided to send Lin Mengxi to the palace for the sake of the family.
However, before entering the palace, Lin Mengxi fell in love with Prince Liang who came to Kangzhou to provide disaster relief. At that time, Prince Liang was of noble status, a young man in fine clothes and riding a horse, full of vigor and vitality, chatting with others about everything under the sun and giving advice on how to move forward.
But King Liang's real love is Princess Yuehua of Yue Kingdom. Because Princess Yuehua was the woman who was to be presented to his father, King Liang did not dare to be an enemy of his father. He could only ask for help from his mother, Concubine Qi, hoping that his mother could help delay the time for his beloved to enter the palace. After that, he took the mission of disaster relief and went to Kangzhou, hoping to exchange merit for Yuehua.
But Yue Guo would never agree, and began to compete with Concubine Qi in a battle of wits and courage.
When Prince Liang returned from Kangzhou half a year later, he learned that his mother, Concubine Qi, had committed suicide by taking poison, the old emperor had passed away long ago, and his beloved Princess Yue had become the concubine of the new emperor Xiao Zhe.
The situation was hopeless for Prince Liang, so he did not dare to become an enemy of the emperor. He drank every day to drown his sorrows and became extremely decadent.
Later, Lin Mengxi was sent to the capital, where she was secretly intercepted by King Liang, who asked her to enter the palace and complete the task assigned by him together with Princess Yuehua.
The excuse was to make it easier to take care of Princess Yuehua (in fact, Yuehua had been possessed by Prince Liang before she entered the palace, and he also used poison to control Yuehua. Yuehua entered the palace because Prince Liang buried her as his wife in order to kill the then emperor Xiao Zhe).
Princess Yuehua was controlled by poison in the early stage, but King Liang still loved her. He was infatuated with her beauty and couldn't bear to kill her, so he just sneaked into the palace and raped Princess Yuehua again and again. Later, King Liang saw that Yuehua was useless.
So he asked Lin Mengxi to compete for favor. Lin Mengxi accepted the favor with great pain. Later, she gave birth to Xiao Qi and got the emperor's attention. King Liang hoped that Lin Mengxi would let the emperor come to her palace more often to make it easier to poison the emperor. Lin Mengxi loved King Liang so much. In order to get King Liang's love, she did as King Liang asked. In order to take revenge on Emperor Xiao Zhe, King Liang often made love with Lin Mengxi.
There was unrest in the court and instability on the border. Xiao Zhe was so busy that he did not notice the turmoil in the harem.
Later, Xiao Zhe discovered that Lin Mengxi and King Liang were having an affair, but King Liang was ambitious and Xiao Zhe, like his name, did not want to alert the enemy, so he reluctantly accepted the blame. In order to prevent King Liang from harming his son Xiao Qi, he pretended to hate Xiao Qi and sent Xiao Qi to live with Prime Minister Mu for more than ten years.
Xiao Zhe endured this for fifteen years. When Lin Mengxi found out that she was pregnant with Prince Liang's child, she couldn't bear to take her away, so she drugged the emperor, hoping to make the child Xiao Zhe's. However, after Xiao Qi was born, Xiao Zhe personally led the army to fight in a war and was injured, so she would never be able to get pregnant again in her life.
Because of the Lin family's relationship and the fact that Lin Mengxi was Xiao Qi's biological mother, Lin Mengxi was banished to the cold palace. She was pregnant in the cold palace for ten months. Seeing that Lin Mengxi was useless, King Liang no longer paid attention to her.
Lin Mengxi lived a miserable life in the cold palace and suffered a difficult childbirth. The emperor wanted to kill Lin Mengxi with one body, but was stopped by the traitor Yuehua.
Because Yuehua had been saved many times by Lin Mengxi before, Yuehua wanted to repay the favor.
When she had exhausted all her energy in childbirth, Lin Mengxi told Yuehua that she wanted to see King Liang for the last time. Yuehua went to ask the emperor for mercy, saying that Lin Mengxi was going to die anyway, so he might as well grant her wish. However, King Liang was unwilling to see these two abandoned pawns again.
Lin Mengxi and Yuehua discovered that King Liang was cold and selfish. In order to save Lin Mengxi, Princess Yuehua destroyed her own appearance and asked Xiao Zhe to announce to the public that Princess Yue had passed away, so that she could stay in the cold palace and take care of Lin Mengxi.
Later, King Liang kept finding ways to target Xiao Zhe, but Xiao Zhe was not someone to be trifled with. In those years, King Liang, even though a lean camel was bigger than a horse, still caused bloodshed in the court. Later, Xiao Zhe used many means to instigate Yue Hua to rebel, and to stimulate King Liang to go crazy frequently, thus gradually undermining the power in King Liang's hands.
In the end, because of Yuehua's death, King Liang was heartbroken and asked to leave his fiefdom, away from the capital. However, because of the late emperor's will, Xiao Zhe had no choice but to keep King Liang.
On the other hand, in the cold palace, taking advantage of the turmoil in the previous dynasty and the major families competing for resources, Yuehua took Lin Shuyao and Lin Mengxi to the Lin family in Kangzhou during the chaos.
After the three of them had settled down, Yuehua said goodbye to the mother and daughter. But within half a month, Lin Mengxi left the child at the Lin family and left for another place.
After Lin Shuyao was sent to the Lin family, she was not liked by the Lin family because of her background. Only Old Madam Lin protected her. Old Madam Lin was old and often ate vegetarian food and worshipped Buddha, so Lin Shuyao was often beaten and scolded in the Lin family.
Also, because Prince Liang was not at peace when he went to his fiefdom, he often sent people to threaten and intimidate the Lin family, which led to her embarrassing position in the Lin family. Her aunt often took the excuse of teaching her to physically punish her, under the guise of training her.
She and Xiao Qi should have been siblings growing up happily. She knew how good Xiao Qi was to her. When she was young, she was sent to the Lin family. The main branch of the Lin family often couldn't hold her head up in the Lin clan because of her identity. Although her mother was the emperor's concubine, she was a concubine at home. She did such a thing, which brought shame to everyone in the Lin family.
It can be said that Lin Shuyao had no father or mother to love her when she was a child. After Xiao Qi grew up, he married Shen Qiuchi and gradually gained power. Her life became better.
Xiao Qi had sent her gold and silver before, but they never reached her.
Later, after Xiao Qi became the crown prince, he began to openly support Lin Shuyao, sending her money from time to time, and even writing letters to her personally, telling her how Shen Qiuchi helped him, how powerful Shen Qiuchi was, and how they solved the enemy step by step.
After Xiao Qi ascended the throne five years ago, her life in the Lin family became better. At this time, King Liang also sent people to the house, wanting to take her to Jinzhou for education, but she refused.
Because she knew that King Liang had ulterior motives in asking her to go to Jinzhou, and his recognition of her was fake, and his real purpose was to use her to deal with Xiao Qi.
She was unwilling to become a sharp sword for King Liang to stab his brother and sister-in-law, because Xiao Qi only had twelve Shenlong Guards, four of whom were by her side, four by Shen Qiuchi's side, and two each by Xiao Qi and Xiao Yanyun's side. Such a good brother had to bear countless insults because of his mother's affairs.
She felt sorry for her brother.
King Liang's several attempts to assassinate Shen Qingxu have all failed, so he must have a plan for the next step. She also told her brother and sister-in-law early on that if King Liang ever changed his mind, she, Lin Shuyao, would stand on her brother and sister-in-law's side.
