After all, Mu Jiu couldn't refuse Ling Xun's request. After all, this was the first time he wanted to eat in a few days. Even if the red oil noodles were not suitable for patients with stomach discomfort, he couldn't help pampering them.

However, when Mu Jiu left, Ling Xun immediately got up from the bed, his face was not even a little weak, his eyes were sharp, and he walked towards Master Shen who was waiting for the medical boy to deliver the repair materials.

When old man Liu saw Ling Xun, his face was shocked. He blew his beard and stared at Ling Xun: "You, you are not sick! Are you pretending?"

Ling Xun ignored the old man, just stared at Master Shen and asked, "Who are you, do you know me?"

To Ling Xun's surprise, this Master Shen was very calm and never panicked because of Ling Xun's sudden attack, she just sighed lightly and said: "This little brother must have intentionally dismissed that young master just now. ?”

Ling Xun's eyes flickered slightly, "Who the hell are you?"

Master Shen silently glanced at Dr. Liu next to him, the old man suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and he had an ominous premonition, but in the blink of an eye, a face with peach blossom eyes appeared in front of him. Being stared at by those beautiful eyes, I suddenly felt very sleepy, my eyelids seemed to be hung with weights, and I couldn't open them a little bit.

After hypnotizing Dr. Liu to sleep, Ling Xun looked at Master Shen again amidst the startling snoring.

Master Shen lowered his eyes, took out a string of Buddhist beads from his sleeve, and counted them one by one, as if sorting through dusty memories. Finally, she raised her eyes, looked at Ling Xun carefully for a while, and finally sighed softly. : "It's so similar...it's so similar. It's almost carved out of the same mold."

Ling Xun's heart tightened, and he became even more anxious, and his voice couldn't help but tinge with anger, "You old lady, I'm not a gentleman, if you try to keep me out, don't blame me for being rude to you."

Master Shen chuckled, "Don't worry, little brother. Before I reveal my identity, let me confirm it first. If my guess is correct, your surname should be Ling?"

Ling Xun squinted his eyes, but said nothing.

Master Shen nodded, her somewhat gray eyes had long lost their light under the tempering of the years, but they had settled deeper, tolerant of the vicissitudes of the past.

"It was probably more than 40 years ago. On the night Princess Wuyang was born, I carried her to Concubine Jin's palace with my own hands. Princess Wuyang was so weak when she was born that it was doubtful whether she could support her. ..."

Ling Xun sensitively captured the key point in this sentence, "Hold her to Concubine Jin's palace? Isn't Princess Wuyang the child of Concubine Jin? Why do you want to carry her to her palace?"

The corners of Master Shen's lips curled up strangely, "I said that my little brother looks very similar to a person, but I'm afraid I'm talking about Princess Wuyang, your mother, right?"

Although he knew that the old woman in front of him had already guessed his identity, Ling Xun still tensed up after being pointed out face to face.

"But, in fact, you and Princess Wuyang are not the most similar. If Emperor Xuan saw your face, he might think it was the ghost of Concubine Lan who had returned."

Concubine Lan?

Ling Xun was confused, how could he resemble Concubine Lan.Moreover, for so many years, because of his embroidery business, he has often been in contact with the dignitaries in the palace. If he has exactly the same face as the noble concubine who once dominated the harem during Emperor Xuan's time, how could he be No one is talking about it?You must know that when Lan Fei is mentioned, there will never be a lack of topics.

Could it be that the old lady made up nonsense to fool him?

Seeing Ling Xun's stunned and even doubtful expression, Master Shen laughed even more in a low voice, smiled, and shook his head with emotion, "Concubine Lan really complied with the comment given by the national teacher back then—a disaster for the country." , a half-body Bodhisattva and half-body demon. Because of her existence, she saved one person, but also harmed the entire Great Xia, and even her own daughter's family also suffered a catastrophe."

biological daughter?

"You said Princess Wuyang is the daughter of Concubine Lan? Not Concubine Jin?"

"How dare you call my mother by her title?" Master Shen's eyes seemed to suddenly become a little harsh, finally revealing the temperament of her life in the deep palace.

"My mother is indeed Princess Wuyang, and I am the son of General Zhennan." Ling Xun knew that no matter how hard he tried to conceal it, it would be futile, so he simply admitted generously, "It's just that I have only one grandmother since I was a child, and that is Concubine Jin. I was naturally surprised when it was suddenly said that the person who gave birth to my mother became the concubine Lan who was once wronged as a magician."

"Yo, you also know that Concubine Lan was wronged, it's not easy." Master Shen smiled strangely, "It's normal for you to be surprised, now those who know the inside story of this matter would have died a long time ago, if it wasn't for my fate , was not suffocated to death, and crawled out of the chaotic grave, the truth of this matter, I am afraid no one will ever know..."

Next, Master Shen told Ling Xun the story of Princess Wuyang's birth.

It turned out that after Concubine Lan was slandered as a magician, Emperor Xuan put her into the cold palace because of fear, and he really never saw her again for eternity.It's just that Emperor Xuan didn't know that when Concubine Lan was thrown into the cold palace, she was already pregnant.But because Concubine Lan once enjoyed exclusive favor, she was hated by all the concubines in the palace, so the news of her pregnancy was jointly concealed by all concubines, even the queen mother.The Empress Dowager personally ordered someone to deliver a bowl of abortion pills to be given to Concubine Lan, but was secretly replaced by Concubine Jin, who had a low status at the time and was not very conspicuous.At the same time, Concubine Jin, who knew she was sterile, reported to the emperor that she was pregnant.

Concubine Lan suffered inhuman torture in the cold palace. Those concubines vented all their past jealousy and resentment on their bodies. They first shaved her hair and then stripped her clothes so that she would not dare to go out to meet people again. Later, when these people saw that Emperor Xuan really abandoned Concubine Lan like a shoestring, they no longer had any scruples. One day they cut off one of her fingers, and tomorrow they cut off a piece of flesh from her body.

In the end, the cold palace where Concubine Lan was imprisoned was filled with a stench of feces and urine all day long, and there was no clean place to stay. Gradually, no one paid attention to her. At that time, Concubine Lan was already gone. The limbs, ears, and nose were actually made into human sticks by living people.

It's a miracle, even so, the fetus in Concubine Lan's stomach was saved, thanks to Concubine Jin's contribution, she actually raised the fetus in Concubine Lan's stomach slowly without everyone knowing, It's just that when Concubine Lan's belly grew bigger, no one saw Concubine Lan except Concubine Jin.

"So on the night when Concubine Jin "give birth", Concubine Lan was also cut open." When Master Shen said this, his voice was very soft, but it seemed to be whispering like a nightmare. In the depths of the dead eyes, the bloody and cruel past is buried, "I hugged the blood-soaked Princess Wuyang and came out of the cold palace... Afterwards, the world also knows. Concubine Jin gave birth to a daughter, Because she looks somewhat similar to Concubine Lan, and has a lively and lovely temperament, she is very favored by Emperor Xuan, so she is named Princess Wuyang, and when she becomes an adult, she is married to General Zhennan."

During Master Shen's almost dry narration, Ling Xun felt his whole body was icy cold, it was a bone-piercing coldness, whenever he thought of the scene of Concubine Lan before she died, he couldn't help shivering.

"Women in the palace... are they really twisted like this? Will they be turned into demons by jealousy? Just because Concubine Lan is favored, you treat her like that?" Ling Xun finally asked hoarsely.

"It's not just jealousy." Master Shen shook his head, "She was accused of being a "mage master", so she deserves death, and death is not a pity."

Ling Xun suddenly felt hostility in his chest, and subconsciously clenched his fists, "Why, you are born as a formation master, so you deserve to be treated like this?"

Master Shen also seemed to be trapped in memories and couldn't extricate himself. Hearing Ling Xun's question, he felt dazed for a moment, "Your words, someone asked me that way back then."

"Who?"

"Wan Rao."

Ling Xun frowned, "Which one is Wanrao?"

"It's the maidservant next to Concubine Lan, the princess Sheng Yuan who was later sent out to marry, the concubine of Tanlang Kingdom."

Although Ling Xun has never met Concubine Lan, and has no deep feelings for this grandmother in the true sense, but thinking of such a woman in the deep palace, being labeled as a magician indiscriminately, and being humiliated to death in every possible way , There is still a kind of sympathetic sadness.

Therefore, Ling Xun became even more angry with the maid who caused Concubine Lan to end up like this.What a greedy wolf princess!Not only did he team up with Qin Chao to frame his father and cause his Ling family to die tragically, it turned out that before entering the palace, there was an even more despicable past!With his old and new grudges added together, he couldn't help gnashing his teeth and said: "That maidservant is so vicious, she actually framed her master in order to save herself!"

"You are thinking wrong." Master Shen said, "Actually, Concubine Lan was wronged back then, it was her own will."

"what do you mean?"

Master Shen said: "Guan Rao is an orphan girl that Concubine Lan met on the way back to the province. She was only seven or eight years old at the time. Concubine Lan felt sorry for her, so she begged Emperor Xuan to take her by her side as a maid. It can be said that Wan Rao Rao was brought up by Concubine Lan. They are like mother and daughter, but no one thought that Wan Rao would be a magician. Said that she was the formation master. She was too naive, thinking that Emperor Xuan had no regrets for her, so he would be tolerant. After she was thrown into the limbo, she was heartbroken and disheartened towards Emperor Xuan, so she never To clarify. Poor woman, if she can predict what will happen next, I'm afraid she won't be so depressed by love?"

What is the favor of the emperor?That Emperor Xuan avoided him like a snake and scorpion just because the person next to him was a magician, so the love for so many years can be regarded as nothing.He actually dared to favor Princess Wuyang because she looked similar to Concubine Lan. This kind of love was so hypocritical that it was disgusting.

Ling Xun's mood fluctuated, and he couldn't tell whether he had more sympathy for Concubine Lan or more contempt for Emperor Xuan.

"Concubine Lan is her benefactor, and it is unforgivable to stand by and stand by, not to mention framing her benefactor's daughter later? No matter what, Princess Greedy Wolf is also my vengeance. I am destined to get back this blood debt from her!"

Counting the time, Mu Jiu should be back soon, and Ling Xun didn't have time to ask any more questions, so he said to Master Shen: "The person who left just now should also be quite curious about you, he is harder to deal with than me, you If you don't want to ask for trouble, you should leave before he comes back."

Master Shen looked at Ling Xun, seemed hesitant to speak, but finally remained silent, nodded and said: "Okay, I'll go now."
