But fortunately, the queen intensified her efforts and asked Dong Changyou, who was obedient to her, to write such a heart-wrenching twist and turn to slander the concubine.

Ling Shang knew that Ye Mujing didn't interfere in these things, and maybe even kept everything in the dark.

But he will never forgive Ye Mujing.

In the final analysis, all the things that the queen did were for one purpose.

There are countless concubines in the harem, and there are only a few of the most favored.

Favored concubines, even fewer gave birth to princes.

Among the princes, there are even fewer who can compete with the eldest prince for the crown prince.

Ling Shang was not without a threat to the empress.

But Ye Mujing mistakenly took the bow that the queen had prepared for Ling Shang, causing Ling Shang to not be shot in the heart as scheduled.

On the contrary, Ye Mujing himself was injured and punished by the emperor.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see what was going on, and the queen had to restrain for a while.

The second time he struck, he was really smarter and more vicious than before.

Although this time it was still unsuccessful, Ling Xiao completely changed.

She was still the gentle and loving mother in front of her two children.

But in front of others, she has a thousand impeccable faces.

Coquettish and considerate in front of the emperor, pretending to be a tiger in front of other concubines, sometimes affectionate like sisters in front of the queen, sometimes insidious like a snake and scorpion.

The concubine was in the limelight for a while, and no one dared to chew on the root of her tongue anymore.

However, it didn't take long, not long after, for her to pass away.

Died suddenly, and died bizarrely.

After that, within the walls of the Forbidden Palace, no one remembered that there was a third prince.

The third prince who is said to bring the destruction of the country to the Ye clan.

The three princes who were deprived of their surnames by the emperor and had no sense of existence.

……

……

When Ling Shang saw Ye Mushen again in the princess's mansion, he had something to say to him.

But I don't know how to speak.

He hasn't been very good at talking.

What's more, he hadn't spoken to anyone in the Central Plains for a long time.

But it doesn't matter, right?

After all, blood is thicker than water, and Ah Shen will definitely understand, right?

However, Ye Mushen's reaction scared him.

The boy, who had eyes as clean as his mother, not only did he not recognize him, but he did not understand him.

Even, he didn't seem to know that he had a brother.

In his world, there is an aunt who is closer than his mother, and there is an elder brother Jing who is more close than his brother.

So what is he Ling Shang?

Clerk?

Serve him to read and practice calligraphy, and take care of his scholars?

Ling Shang was actually very happy with this arrangement.

After his mother's death, his only relative was Ah San.

How can you not be happy when you are finally reunited.

He wants to count his mother's share and treat Ah Shen twice as well.

Anyway, he didn't want to go back to the palace, or be a prince, and he didn't want to face the intrigue in the palace.

There's nothing wrong with being a bookmaid for the rest of your life.

But Ye Mushen hated him very much.

I hate his lowly status as an outcast, and I hate the strange and ugly runes on his body.

Ling Shang always responded to his reproaches with silence.

How do you explain it, saying that you are often locked up with a bunch of poisonous insects...... Will that also be regarded as a poisonous insect by him?

Or confessed, he was dedicated to the king of Western Xia, as a substitute for his sick son, locked in a cave by a group of sorcerers, and kept with white bones all day long...... Will he be treated as a demon?

Ling Shang really wanted to sew his mouth shut and tell him not to ask such questions again.
