The daughter of the emperor is reborn to be beautiful and cool, and the King of Zhenbei loves her wi

Her long hair fell in front of her like a waterfall, covering her entire face, making it impossible to see her true appearance.

She lowered her head, holding the scroll carefully in both hands. No one knew what she was thinking. She was like an old monk in meditation, and she remained motionless for a long time.

Seeing that nothing could be seen here for the time being, and without knowing the surrounding situation, Shen Nanzhi and the others did not dare to disturb her rashly.

That little palace maid might come back at any time.

Moreover, one cannot believe all her words. What if there are more than just her and the woman in white clothes and white hair here? Shen Nanzhi and Xiao Chuyun might be put in a passive position if they are not careful.

But the place here doesn't look small, so it would be more efficient for two people to act separately.

Shen Nanzhi raised his finger and pointed in the direction where the little palace maid left, making a gesture.

The little palace maid handed it to her. Xiao Chuyun's lightness skills were more agile, so the task of exploring the surroundings was given to him.

Xiao Chuyun hesitated for a moment, but seeing Shen Nanzhi's insistent gaze, he had no choice but to agree, and silently mouthed to Shen Nanzhi: "Be careful."

Shen Nanzhi nodded, tapped her toes, and easily left the window, following the direction of the corridor where the little palace maid left.

As soon as Shen Nanzhi turned around an archway under the stone wall, he heard the sound of pots and pans being turned over.

At the same time, the little palace maid complained: "When will this kind of life end?"

"Baizhi, you must be strong and don't go crazy! Everything will get better and you will be able to get out again sooner or later!"

"My master loves knife-cut noodles, so let's make them for her tonight. Maybe after eating them, she'll feel better and be willing to talk to me!"

……

She was busy and talking to herself.

From her words, Shen Nanzhi almost guessed why she behaved so strangely.

She was locked up in such a dark place, and the only person around her was unwilling to communicate with her. She didn't even have anyone to talk to. If this continued day after day, even a normal person would go crazy.

She just felt boundlessly lonely, and was afraid that her sanity and voice would be completely swallowed up by the darkness, so she kept talking to herself.

Shen Nanzhi wanted to listen more, but her chattering voice suddenly stopped, and she walked towards Shen Nanzhi.

Her sense of smell was so sensitive, and Shen Nanzhi was at the wind's edge. She had a cold fragrance on her body that didn't belong to the underground palace, so she was easily discovered by the little palace maid named Baizhi.

Seeing her footsteps getting closer and soon reaching the arch, Shen Nanzhi looked up at the stone wall above the arch.

There were intricate patterns carved on the stone wall. Shen Nanzhi turned over, hooked the pattern with his toes, and hung himself above the archway with a hanging hook.

After Bai Zhi followed quietly, she passed through the archway. Before she noticed anything unusual above her head, Shen Nanzhi had already sprinkled a handful of secret medicine on her.

The moment she smelled that breath, Bai Zhi was stunned. She was about to cover her breath, but Shen Nanzhi's secret medicine was prepared by Lu Pianpian, and it was extremely effective. It was simply not something that an ordinary person like Bai Zhi who had no kung fu skills could resist.

Before she even had the chance to look up at the place above her head as she felt something was wrong, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

After there was no movement from her side, Shen Nanzhi jumped down from the stone wall, tied her hands and feet, and hid her in the kitchen.

After finishing all this, Shen Nanzhi returned to the stone platform again.

Xiao Chuyun just came back too.

It was just as they had expected. Although the place was big, it was just as Bai Zhi said, there were only her and the woman in white clothes and white hair.

In this case, after tying up Bai Zhi, Shen Nanzhi and Xiao Chuyun had no more reservations and came to the window again.

This time they planned to go in and find the woman.

Although I couldn't see her face clearly and didn't know her true identity, but seeing the way she looked at Xiao Chuyun's portrait, there must be some connection between them.

Xiao Chuyun didn't know either, so he had to ask her.

However, what the two men did not expect was that as soon as they stood firm by the window, the person who was originally concentrating on looking at the scroll seemed to sense something and suddenly turned his head to look towards the window.

Because of her big movement, the black iron chains that locked her hands and feet clanged.

There was a bell hanging in front of the curtain by the window. It seemed that she had called Bai Zhi over by ringing the bell.

It was the same this time. She felt something was wrong and had already stretched out her hand, with her fingertips even touching the rope that would ring the bell. But she suddenly froze when she saw two figures standing by the window.

Especially when her eyes fell on Xiao Chuyun's face, her pupils widened a lot.

The raised fingertips froze in place, and the slightly opened lips trembled uncontrollably.

In just a moment, her eyes were red, and she stared at Xiao Chuyun intently, even holding her breath.

At the same time, the impact on Shen Nanzhi and Xiao Chuyun opposite her was still considerable.

Her face...

It's so familiar.

The identity of this woman... her appearance, and the painting of Xiao Chuyun that she held in her arms like a treasure, all the previous confusion and incomprehension suddenly had answers the moment she saw this face.

Before Shen Nanzhi knew that this Xiao Chuyun was not that Xiao Chuyun, she felt that the Seventh Prince Xiao Qian'an and the Fifth Prince Xiao Ziyi inherited a large part of their looks from Emperor Shunqing, especially their eyebrows and eyes.

In comparison, Xiao Chuyun had fewer similarities with Emperor Shunqing. Although Shen Nanzhi had never seen Concubine Zhen, she thought at that time that Xiao Chuyun's appearance should be more like Concubine Zhen.

Later, when people learned about Xiao Chuyun's true identity and knew that he was not the biological son of Emperor Shunqing, it was reasonable that he did not look as similar to Emperor Shunqing as those others.

Perhaps his appearance was inherited from Prince Ning, but because Prince Ning and Emperor Shunqing were also brothers, even if Xiao Chuyun did not look as much like Emperor Shunqing as the other princes, he still had some resemblance to Emperor Shunqing, which would not arouse suspicion.

It was not until this moment, when Shen Nanzhi saw clearly the face of the woman in white clothes and white hair, that he realized who Xiao Chuyun took after.

picture!

It's so similar.

Although she was dressed in white and had white hair, and was emaciated, her face seemed to have received all the favors of the Creator.

Even though she has fallen to this state, she is still incredibly beautiful.

The weakness, embarrassment and suffocating environment did not affect her appearance, but instead added a sense of sadistic yet holy beauty. The dim room seemed to be bright and dazzling because of her.

If Xiao Chuyun's sword-like eyebrows were changed to distant mountain-like indigo, and his cold cheekbones were softened a little, he would be almost the same as the woman in front of him.

Shen Nanzhi was stunned, and Xiao Chuyun also froze in place, which was rare.

The woman's reaction was even worse.

She didn't even dare to blink, staring at Xiao Chuyun closely, as if she was afraid that this was her hallucination, and the person by the window would disappear in the blink of an eye.

The originally dull atmosphere became more unbearable and depressing.

Xiao Chuyun finally came to his senses. He turned and walked towards the door, wanting to go in and find out what was going on.

But when he was about to walk in, he found that Shen Nanzhi was not following him.

He subconsciously turned around and looked at Shen Nanzhi.

The moment their eyes met, he saw the struggle and hesitation in Shen Nanzhi's eyes.

Xiao Chuyun was so smart that he immediately understood Shen Nanzhi's concerns.

If the person inside is really his mother, since she was imprisoned here by Emperor Shunqing in this way, it must be because she refused to bow down to Emperor Shunqing. In addition, the previous rumors about the deep love between Prince Ning and Princess Ning, it is likely that she has deep feelings for Prince Ning. Naturally, she would not be so friendly to Shen Nanzhi, the descendant of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion who caused Prince Ning to be defeated and had to flee to Mobei.

Moreover, such a thing would probably be an unacceptable dark scar for anyone, and no one would want to be embarrassed to be seen by others.

Although Shen Nanzhi was also curious about the answer, she didn't want to embarrass Xiao Chuyun.

She forced a faint smile and said, "Go ahead. I'll keep watch for you outside."

However, the next moment, Xiao Chuyun came forward, took her hand, looked at her firmly and said, "Stay with me."

Shen Nanzhi was originally considering Xiao Chuyun, but seeing that he said this, he had no intention of avoiding her at all, so Shen Nanzhi had no choice but to nod: "Okay, let's go together."

The two of them walked into the house.

The black iron chain on the bed made a constant sound of friction.

"Achu...is that you?"

The woman on the bed had red eyes, and as soon as she opened her mouth, tears started flowing uncontrollably.

Perhaps it was because she hadn't spoken in a long time, so her pronunciation was a little weird. No wonder it sounded a little strange before.

"Achu...my Achu!"

As she said this, she tried to break free from the black iron curtain and pounce on Xiao Chuyun, but she was so thin that there was no way she could break free from the iron chain that was thicker than her wrist.

In the blink of an eye, Shen Nanzhi saw that her wrists were rubbed raw, and her originally white sleeves were stained with a layer of bright red, which looked shocking.

But she was completely unaware and was still struggling hard, trying to get closer and closer to Xiao Chuyun.

Xiao Chuyun held Shen Nanzhi's hand and stood still in the room, but did not speak immediately.

She hurriedly explained, "Achu, I'm A Niang! You definitely don't recognize me, but look, you and A Niang look so much alike! When A Niang passed away, my Achu was still this young..."

As she spoke, she raised her hands with great effort, gestured, and continued to sob, "It was such a small ball... but now it has grown so big. He didn't lie to me..."

he?

Hearing this word, Shen Nanzhi and Xiao Chuyun frowned almost at the same time.

But before the two of them could open their mouths to ask, the woman in white clothes and white hair said again: "No! If I'm not dreaming, how come you are here? Did he attack you? Otherwise, why are you here? It must be... cough cough cough cough..."

I don’t know if it was because she was too excited or because she hadn’t spoken for a long time, but after saying so much in one breath, her throat couldn’t take it anymore and she started coughing uncontrollably before she could finish.

But she couldn't care less and couldn't even take her eyes off Xiao Chuyun.

Seeing this, Xiao Chuyun finally spoke: "Who are you? Why... are you still alive?"

If she was the Princess of Ning, she would have passed away shortly after giving birth to Xiao Chuyun due to exhaustion from childbirth.

Hearing this, the woman in white clothes and white hair spoke with difficulty in a hoarse voice: "I really am your mother, and I am still alive."

Because of the cough just now, her originally pale cheeks had a little more vitality.

But these words made Xiao Chuyun's eyes turn colder.

He frowned and looked at Princess Ning, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing and just looked at her coldly.

Nothing could be seen from the outside, but Shen Nanzhi could feel his fingertips trembling slightly as he held her palm.

Xiao Chuyun once told Shen Nanzhi that his birthday was the anniversary of Princess Ning's death.

Because of this, King Ning hated him so much that he locked him up in a dark secret room and would whip and torture him whenever he did something wrong.

During those years in the secret room in Mobei, he lived a life worse than pigs and dogs, all because of the death of his mother, Princess Ning.

But now you come to tell him that Princess Ning is still alive?

It was already very difficult for Xiao Chuyun to suppress his emotions.

Shen Nanzhi held his hand back. Although she didn't say anything, Xiao Chuyun must have understood what she meant.

No matter what happens, she will be with him.

Xiao Chuyun squeezed Shen Nanzhi's palm and responded to her. Then he looked up at Princess Ning on the bed and asked calmly, "Why are you here?"

Seeing that he was still willing to talk to her, Princess Ning's eyes lit up, and then her tears fell even harder.

"I'm not dead, but I'm also... living a life worse than death..."

She sobbed and spoke in a halting manner about her experiences over the years.

She was indeed on the verge of death after giving birth to Xiao Chuyun, but she was rescued and abducted by Emperor Shunqing's secret guards, who brought her back to the capital.

From then on, there was one less Princess Ning in the world, and one more concubine, the Emperor Shunqing, in the shameful underground palace beneath the Yuquan Palace.

The story can be told in just a few words, but it is filled with misery, helplessness and despair that are unbearable to look at.

At the end, Princess Ning looked up at Xiao Chuyun and said, "You just asked me why I am still alive. I have asked myself this question countless times. I have wanted to die countless times, but I just want to see you again... He uses you as a threat, I dare not die... I dare not die!"

At the end, Princess Ning burst into tears.

Seeing this, Xiao Chuyun turned his head away and said with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "You say you care about me so much, but didn't you take the abortion pill and wish you could abort me?"

As a result, the bowl of abortion pills failed to abort Xiao Chuyun, but instead hurt her body, and almost cost her her life during childbirth.

Hearing this, Princess Ning smiled sadly.

She looked at Xiao Chuyun with red eyes and suddenly asked, "Did Prince Ning tell you this?"

Xiao Chuyun was about to nod, but then he realized that all this was just one-sided words from Prince Ning.

Princess Ning was clearly not dead. In order to conceal the fact that she was abducted by Emperor Shunqing, Prince Ning lied to the public that Princess Ning died due to postpartum exhaustion.

Then, is it possible that Prince Ning lied about other things as well?
