The cute master above the imperial city finally disappeared. Countless imperial city residents sighed, watching the silver-gray tabby cat in their spare time every day, has become an indispensable part of life.
The researchers of the Hanlin Academy were also disappointed. I don’t know when this embodied mental power will be observed again. However, the sage has already asked about the matter, and has begun to investigate the identity of this mysterious person. As long as he is still in the imperial city, it will not be long before he can find out.
Lu Heng had no time to worry about these things, he was still immersed in the conversation he just heard.
Do you think Xia Lingheng was the child back then
What is the past of the Queen Mother Huining and Prince Rong? Thinking of Prince Rong's attitude towards him and adding this sentence, it is almost certain that he, or Xia Lingheng, is not Prince Rong's child. Prince Narong's indifference can be explained.
It seems that all the truth has to be learned from the Queen Mother Huining. However, this is of great importance. Even if Queen Mother Hui Ning loves Lu Heng, she will not reveal the slightest bit.
This matter, naturally, cannot be difficult for Lu Heng, who has made great progress in spiritual abilities.
night.
Changle Palace.
The Empress Dowager Huining was a fan of ancient Chinese culture, and all the layout of the residence followed the ancient system. The queen mother had already fallen asleep, leaving only a dim palace lantern in the bedroom.
A breeze passed by, and the candles in the palace lanterns flickered a few times.
Xia Jiming stood beside the bed, a silver-white shadow jumped from his arms and landed lightly on the bed.
The soft pads did not make the slightest sound. Lu Heng's body emitted a soft white light, and he used his mental power to make the sleeping person fall into a deeper sleep. Then, he gently placed his head on the forehead of the Queen Mother Huining.
Lu Heng entered the spiritual world of the Queen Mother Huining. Under his guidance, the past events were reconstructed in the spiritual world.
In the spiritual world of Empress Dowager Huining, there are scenes of picture scrolls floating around. Although it is a bit messy, but from the age of the people in the paintings, Lu Heng speculates that other than these pictures, they are arranged according to a timeline. Lu Hengsheng reached the level of the picture scroll, stretched out his claws and touched it lightly, and the picture scroll opened with ripples like water waves.
Afterwards, Lu Heng entered the world of memories in these scrolls.
The first painting.
Two young girls are sitting opposite each other in the garden, one of them is the young queen dowager Hui Ning, and the other is the prince and concubine Rong whom Lu Heng has only seen in the photo.
"It's like, the prince confessed to me that he likes me."
"Then how do you answer?"
"You know. I don't like him."
"But Xia Zefang didn't say anything, do you really want to reject His Royal Highness for him?"
"Always have to try, and I can give up if I try." Queen Mother Hui Ning said.
Second painting.
A handsome young man with a long body is embracing a graceful and beautiful girl. After a while, the two people parted with blushing faces, both feeling a little overwhelmed and shy.
"A Ning, I..."
Empress Dowager Hui Ning smiled: "Idiot. Everything is hidden in your heart. If I didn't take the initiative to say it, would you hold it back for the rest of your life?"
"I, you are so good, I am not worthy of you." said the young Prince Rong.
"What nonsense are you talking about, the elite class is the first, and everything is the best. If you say this, the entire Guozixue will die of laughter."
"my mother… "
"I like you as a person, and it has nothing to do with everything else."
Lu Heng, who was beside him, thought of Prince Rong's biological mother, who seemed to be just a lowly maid. This is also the place where Prince Rong is most criticized.
The third painting.
The girl knelt down at the feet of the beautiful middle-aged woman, her face full of tears.
"Mother, how could you promise to marry me to the crown prince, you know that Xia Zefang and I are in love with each other!"
"A Ning! Born in a powerful family, you should have been prepared for this long ago! The Holy Order made an decree, do you think we have the right to say no?"
"Why, why must it be me."
"Because your father is a hussar general, and because your father holds the most elite army of the Huaxia Dynasty in his hand." The beautiful woman paused for a moment, and finally couldn't bear to wipe away her daughter's tears, "The prince is the direct son of the Empress Yuan, and the sage will not Let anyone shake his position."
"I, what I like in my heart is Xia Zefang."
"Even if you don't marry for the rest of your life, you can't marry Xia Zefang. The sage will not allow the tragedy of the brothers to reappear again. Do you forget how many people died in the battle for imperial power a hundred years ago?"
The Queen Mother Hui Ning finally fell silent with a pale face.
Fourth painting.
The beautiful girl pulled the handsome young man's sleeve with such strength that blue veins even burst out on the back of her fair hand.
"Zefang, you take me away, I don't care about the glory and wealth. In this huge interstellar space, as long as we remain anonymous, no one will be able to find us."
"Aning, I can't do this. Take you away, what should I do with my mother!" Xia Zefang's hand gently covered the back of the girl's hand.
"Yeah, my parents. What will they do if I leave?" The Queen Mother Hui Ning woke up from her intense emotions and muttered to herself, "But, what are we going to do if we stay."
The corners of the young Prince Rong's eyes were flushed, and the line of his jaw was so tight that he finally brushed away the Queen Mother Hui Ning's hand: "Let's just forget it."
Fifth painting.
wedding night.
The inside of the hall was full of fiery red, and the prince in red robes bent down and gently pinched the chin of the girl sitting on the edge of the bed. The Queen Mother Hui Ning bowed her head and pretended to avoid the other's fingers inadvertently.
"Heh." The prince sneered, "A Ning, you hurt my heart too much. I spent a lot of time trying to marry you."
Empress Dowager Huining looked up, puzzled.
"By the way, let me tell you a secret. In fact, your father proposed to get rid of his armor and return to the field, just for the freedom of his daughter's marriage. However, I insisted on marrying you. Isn't it very touching?" The prince's mouth twitched. smile.
"Why do you want to force someone who doesn't care about you?"
Unexpectedly, the prince laughed as if he heard something extremely ridiculous.
After a while, he reluctantly stopped smiling: "You really thought I liked you. You were wrong, I married you just because you were the one that Xia Zefang loved. Why does he press me down everywhere and throw my face in the face? Stepping on the ground is obviously just the son of a humble servant girl."
"..." The Queen Mother Hui Ning was trembling all over, unable to say a word.
Fifth painting.
The prince of that year has already ascended the throne, and it is the first emperor Kangping Emperor.
Today is the Full Moon Festival. According to the custom, Emperor Kangping should have spent the festival with the Queen. Instead, he went to the imperial concubine's palace, leaving Empress Dowager Huining to keep her empty boudoir alone.
The Queen Mother Huining was drinking alone with the moon in the yard, borrowing wine to relieve her worries.
"Anning."
"Zefang, why are you here?"
"I miss you, I can't control myself."
"It's not necessarily too ridiculous what you said. Didn't you just marry Ruan Ru not long ago? Now you are pretending to be in front of me." Empress Dowager Hui Ning frowned and shouted, "Are you worthy of Ru Ru!"
"A Ning, you know that people like us have always been unable to get married. You are like this, so am I."
The Empress Dowager Huining finally sat back on the stone bench powerless, and the two drank each other.
In the chaos after drinking, the two who lost their minds made a big mistake.
Sixth painting.
Emperor Camping visited Western Europe. Empress Dowager Huining has been pregnant for several months, and it is inconvenient to follow-up, so she stays in Diduxing to give birth.
After nine deaths, the Queen Mother Huining gave birth to twins. However, the birthmark on one of the children surprised the Queen Mother Hui Ning, because she had seen the same birthmark in the same place on Xia Zefang.
Fortunately, there were not many people present, and all of them were the exclusive personal servants of the Queen Mother Hui Ning. She made a decisive decision and quickly blocked the palace, only releasing news that the queen was being rescued due to dystocia.
Afterwards, she asked someone to take a genetic tester. After a test, she found that the fathers of the two children turned out to be different people.
One is the child of Emperor Kang Ping, and the other is indeed the child of Prince Rong Xia Zefang.
Afterwards, Prince Rong obtained the secret communication from the Queen Mother Huining, and entered the Queen's Palace concealed from his eyes and eyes, and took away the child who should not exist.
A few days later, news of the princess' death in childbirth came from Prince Rong's residence.
Seventh painting.
"Wan Ru's death, did you do something in it!" The Queen Mother Hui Ning was pale and angry.
"A-Ning, how can you look at me like this! Even if I don't love her, I will take good care of her as a wife." Prince Rong looked sincere, "It seems that she is not in good health, you know that? It's really just An accident."
"The like child?"
"The child, go with his mother."
"So, the current Prince Rong's heir..."
"Yes, it's our child. With the identity of the direct son, everything that belongs to me after that belongs to him."
After all, the Queen Mother Hui Ning just sighed, these things, like a vortex, rolled her deeper and deeper, more and more involuntarily.
Eighth painting.
Emperor Camping died of an illness on his way back from the Western European Star Region.
"He caused all these tragedies," said Prince Rong.
"What do you want?" Empress Dowager Huining lowered her eyes, and the unwillingness in her heart emerged. Her life, the life of Xia Zefang, and the life of Xia Zefang, fell into such a sad situation because of Emperor Kang Ping.
"Do you want to get revenge on him?"
Empress Dowager Huining raised her head and looked at Prince Rong in front of her.
"Isn't he the most proud of his pure blood? Doesn't he look down on me, the son of a maid? If, in the highest position of the Huaxia Dynasty, my children, Xia Zefang and Aning, are sitting." Prince Rong's eyes were full of With a cheerful look, "Probably under Jiuquan, he can't rest his eyes."
The face of the Queen Mother Hui Ning gradually became firm from struggling. The monstrous hatred eventually shattered her sanity.
The last painting.
"You have to take good care of him. He is just a child after all. The grudges of those of us have nothing to do with him." The Queen Mother Hui Ning touched the face of the baby in Prince Rong's arms with some reluctance.
"What else do you have to worry about? His blood has already entered the jade card. No matter what, I will take good care of him and prevent him from any accident. Besides, the identity of Prince Rong's direct son is enough for this child to enjoy his whole life. splendid and rich.”
The Queen Mother Huining looked at the back of Prince Rong who disappeared from the palace with the child in his arms, and stood there for a while.
After a while, she looked down at the child lying on the bed, and the birthmark on the back of her neck stayed with her fingers for a moment.
Afterwards, she took the potion she had put aside and smeared it on the birthmark.
