"Actually, this is a small matter, but I didn't expect my husband to talk to his parents about it, and it happened to be heard by a relative of his family. This relative is my husband's cousin, who is said to be a housekeeper for a certain high-ranking member of the imperial court, and when he heard the news, he left without saying anything, but that night, the man in black came to my house.

Miss Sima, I don't have to hide it from you, in addition to teaching me etiquette, my mother also secretly invited a martial arts master for me, who came to my house every night to teach me martial arts, starting from the age of ten for eight years, every day without interruption, rain or shine. During these eight years, Master and she have always covered her face with a black cloth, and I know nothing about her except that Master is a woman.

I asked my mother who Master was, but she didn't say anything or let me ask Master any questions, so Master and I got along for eight years, both familiar and strange. One night when I was eighteen years old, Master said that he had finished teaching me and would not come back from tomorrow, and I didn't take it seriously at first, but Master really hasn't shown up since that night. I cried once when Master didn't come, but my mother told me that I was not allowed to mention to anyone that I had Master and learned martial arts. I have always been obedient to my mother's words, and I naturally dare not disobey her words, so I have to treat all this as if it had never happened. ”

Nan Xunyan, who opened the chatterbox, was out of control, as if he was going to pour out all the words in his heart, so he said it slowly. And Sima Hongyan didn't say a word from beginning to end, and just listened quietly, occasionally making a soft "um" or two in response.

Nan Xunyan enjoyed having such a patient audience as Sima Hongyan to listen to her tell her about her past, and Sima Hongyan's cooperation was simply encouraging herself to continue.

After talking too much, her throat was a little dry, Nan Xunyan swallowed a few saliva and continued: "Fortunately, I have learned martial arts for several years, so I found out as soon as someone came outside the courtyard that night. They are really vicious, and if they don't come in, they will put incense in the house first. I blamed myself for being careless, lying in ambush in the house but not thinking of this trick, and as a result, my mother and I were both stunned by them.

When I woke up again, I was in a black cell, just like here, with no light at all. I was terrified, I was the only one there, my mother was nowhere to be found, I cried several times, screamed for a long time, but no one paid attention to me.

I didn't know what was going on, I didn't know where I was, I didn't know what else to do but cry until I fainted from hunger.

I knew someone was feeding me water, but I didn't see anyone around me when I woke up, but I had more to eat and drink. It was only after a few days that I slowly calmed down, and I knew that someone had deliberately locked me up there, and crying would only make them continue to ignore me. So I waited quietly, waiting for my captor to come and ask me. Sure enough, a few days later, a woman came to talk to me, but I could only hear her voice but not see her person.

I didn't care who this woman was, I just asked her where my mother was, why she was arresting me, and what was going to happen to our mother and daughter. The woman didn't answer my questions, she just kept reassuring me, saying that my mother and I were safe, that we just needed to learn something from us, and that she would let us out as soon as I told her the answer she wanted.

I took her and asked her what she wanted to know, and the question she asked me was: 'Where's the seal?' After hearing this, I felt inexplicable, and I replied that I had never heard of the Qiankun seal. The woman obviously didn't believe what I said, and after asking me three times, she said that she would not ask again today, and would come back tomorrow, so that I could think it through, otherwise I would have to stay here for the rest of my life.

In the days that followed, the woman came every day and asked me the same question every day, but how could I answer things I didn't know? So nearly half a year has passed. But this woman was really patient, and came to talk to me a lot every day, but in the end it was the same question that I couldn't answer.

One day, when the woman came back, she suddenly stopped asking me that question, and she asked me if I knew my background. Naturally, I knew my own business, so I told her the truth. At that time, I had the idea that maybe they had caught the wrong person, so I tried to explain my story in detail so that they would know that our mother and daughter were not the people they were looking for.

After listening to what I said, the woman sneered for a long time, and then said to herself, 'Yan Mengling, you even hid your daughter!' Yan Mengling in her mouth was my mother's name, I was taken aback and asked the woman what she meant by this, but the woman ignored me and left inexplicably.

The next day, the woman came again, and she said she was going to tell me my true origins. But first she had to confirm one thing with me, and that was the birthmark on the back of my neck, and she asked me if I knew this birthmark of hers, and if I knew what the birthmark looked like. To be honest, I didn't have this birthmark from my mother, but I saw it myself by accident. Because it was on my own body, I was ashamed to talk about it, so I didn't ask my mother about the birthmark.

I heard that the woman was very concerned about this birthmark, so I told her the truth that I knew about this birthmark, and the birthmark looked a little like a cloud, a cloud floating in the sky. After hearing this, the woman was silent for a while, and said to me, in fact, my mother and I are not ordinary people, my mother's real identity is the eldest princess of Yanling, the sister of Emperor Yanzhen of the current Yanling Kingdom. ”

When he heard Nan Xunyan say that his mother's name was "Yan Mengling", Sima Hongyan's first reaction was that this Yan Mengling must have an inseparable connection with the Yanling royal family. When Nan Xunyan personally said that her mother Yan Mengling was the eldest princess of Yanling Kingdom, even if Sima Hongyan vaguely guessed it, she was still taken aback.

The dignified eldest princess of Yanling, the sister of Emperor Yanling, would have such a bumpy experience, which is really unexpected.

Such a big thing shocked Sima Hongyan, but Nan Xunyan said it as if it was an ordinary family matter, and there was no fluctuation in her tone, as if the eldest princess or the common people made no difference in her heart.

Nan Xunyan didn't know that her words had set off turmoil in Sima Hongyan's heart, and she still told her story plainly. She said slowly: "When the woman said that my mother was the eldest princess of Yanling, I immediately refuted her, saying that they must have recognized the wrong person, my mother and I have been living in the countryside, how could it be related to the royal family?" And my mother and I have been living in Dongning, how can my mother be the eldest princess of Yanling? It's a fantasy.

The woman didn't get angry when I retorted angrily, but said that it seemed that I really didn't know anything. So she told me to calm down, and she would tell me everything about my mother. To be honest, although I scolded her for talking nonsense, in my heart I felt that what the woman said was true!

Maybe I was too emotional, and the woman left quietly. When she came back the next day, I was at peace, and the woman told me everything about my mother from beginning to end.

More than 20 years ago, my mother had just turned 16 that year. Once Emperor Yanling invited Emperor Dongning to Yanling as a guest, and by the way discussed the alliance. Emperor Dongning naturally couldn't leave Dongning easily, so he sent Lan Shengwen, who had been named the crown prince, to Yanling.

I don't know if the state talks were completed, but it was the arrival of Lan Shengwen that made my mother meet him occasionally. At that moment, my mother fell in love with this blue saint text out of control.

These two people can be described as love at first sight, Lan Shengwen took the opportunity to enter the palace to discuss state affairs, and had a private meeting with his mother in the imperial garden, and the two of them made a private decision for life regardless of nationality!

After all, Lan Shengwen is the crown prince of Dongning, a messenger from afar, and it is a major matter to have a personal relationship with a princess of another country. So Lan Shengwen promised his mother when he left Yanling, and immediately after returning to Dongning, he asked his father for his life and sent a letter of appointment to marry his mother, so that it would be regarded as an alliance between the two countries and make friends with relatives.

It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, these two people planned very well, but after Lan Shengwen returned to Dongning, something unexpected happened.

The first thing is that Emperor Dongning died suddenly, and Lan Shengwen wants to inherit the throne as the crown prince. Who knew that at this time, Uncle Dongning raised an army to rebel, wanting to take advantage of Lan Shengwen's unstable foundation and seize imperial power in one fell swoop. Lan Shengwen and his twin brother Lan Shengwu were ordered to raise troops against the rebellion of the imperial uncle, and as a result, they put the matter of proposing marriage to my mother behind them.

This matter can't be blamed on Lan Shengwen, the country has changed, and no one can take care of the private feelings of their children, which is understandable. But the second thing made my mother have to see Lan Shengwen immediately, because my mother found out that she was pregnant and had Lan Shengwen's child, which was me!

I heard that Lan Shengwen had proposed peace to Emperor Yanling before leaving, and Emperor Yanling also agreed. No one expected that there would be civil strife in Dongning after Lan Shengwen went back, and his mother had suggested to Emperor Yanling to send troops to help Lan Shengwen, but because it was a civil strife in Dongning, Emperor Yanling rejected his mother's suggestion on the grounds that it was inconvenient for outsiders to intervene.

The mother was anxious, but she couldn't tell her about being pregnant, so it happened that the mother went out of the palace to Dongning to find Lan Shengwen without permission.

Mother was pregnant all the way hard, avoiding the war, and finally came to the Imperial City of Dongning, and tried her best to see Lan Shengwen, and at this time Lan Shengwen was already the new emperor of Dongning, he was not happy and angry after seeing his mother, and complained that his mother should not come to him at this time.

The mother was disappointed and told Lan Shengwen about being pregnant with a child, but Lan Shengwen was even more furious after hearing it, and scolded her mother for not knowing what was going on.

It turned out that the rebellious imperial uncle at that time raised troops in the name of Lan Shengwen assassinating his father and plotting rebellion and usurpation, if it was known that Lan Shengwen had an affair with a Yanling woman and had a child, then the imperial uncle's rebellion would become even more justified and famous. At that time, I am afraid that the people of Dongning will also rebel, and the emperor of Lan Shengwen may not be able to do it. So after the two quarreled, Lan Shengwen forced his mother to beat the child off. ”
