Huang Yueli was still looking at the tombstone when she heard Li Moying speak.
"Here... my mother-in-law is buried."
Huang Yueli was startled, "Ming Fei?"
Li Moying calmly nodded.
"However, Concubine Ming is a first-class imperial concubine. According to the ancestral system, after her death, she should be buried in the royal mausoleum, right? How come she is here..."
Li Moying pursed her lips tightly and said nothing, her deep black eyes looking colder than usual.
Under the dim and mottled moonlight, his face was dark and unreadable.
Huang Yueli closed her mouth subconsciously, and after a while, she asked cautiously: "Li... Li Moying, are you okay?"
Li Moying didn't say anything, but suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her to his side.
"Hey you… "
Li Moying blocked her mouth with a finger.
"Don't talk. I just want you to sit with me for a while. Just sit next to me quietly."
Huang Yueli said no more, letting him pull her and sat down on the stone steps at the edge of the cemetery.
Li Moying was obviously in a bad mood, and Huang Yueli stopped talking.
The two sat side by side in the dark and gloomy cemetery, silent.
An ordinary girl would have been scared to death, but Huang Yueli didn't feel anything special. All her attention was on the man beside her.
Although Li Moying said nothing, she could already feel the struggle and sadness in his heart.
Concubine Ming... what happened
Huang Yueli suddenly remembered what Li Moying said after he injured the prince in Cining Palace this afternoon.
"... In the cold weather, His Highness the Prince, who is extremely talented, kicked his younger brother who was unable to practice cultivation into a frozen pond. Is this cruelty to his siblings? Is he forcing his weak younger brother to kneel down under the scorching sun until he fainted? Is he worse than a pig or a dog?"
When she heard it, she felt frightened.
Looking back now, there must be a tragic past behind this.
Huang Yueli subconsciously put her hand on Li Moying's shoulder. She didn't know why, but she just wanted to give him some comfort.
Li Moying's tense body trembled when she touched her gently. Then, he suddenly raised his hand and pulled Huang Yueli into his arms. His strong and powerful arms wrapped around her tightly. The slender waist is getting tighter and tighter.
Normally, Huang Yueli would have gone crazy a long time ago.
But at this time, she just pushed him gently, "You are too hard, I can't breathe."
Li Moying relaxed a little.
Huang Yueli breathed a sigh of relief and heard the man's deep voice ringing in her ears.
"My mother-in-law... passed away when I was six years old."
"Ah? But, I heard someone said that Concubine Ming had a difficult delivery..."
"Yes, there are rumors like this in the outside world. That's because my mother-in-law did have a difficult delivery when she gave birth to me, and I was so thin that I could hardly survive. The queen took the opportunity to let people report that my mother-in-law was an unknown person. That's why the prince was born like this. Therefore, after I was born, my mother and concubine were placed under house arrest in the palace."
Huang Yueli didn't say anything, she just reached out and hugged him back.
Li Moying hugged her tighter and continued.
"Because the Queen's family was powerful at the time, my father did not dare to disobey her. The Queen and the Prince took the opportunity to humiliate my mother and I in every possible way. Until I was six years old, my mother died of a serious illness and could not be buried in the royal mausoleum. .”
