Shen Ningning's small body lowered and called obediently: "Concubine Rong is good." ”

Concubine Rong bent her eyes and smiled elegantly and softly: "Really good." ”

The eldest aunt beside her stepped forward and said respectfully: "Niangniang, the hour is not early, and if you don't go to worship the Buddha, I'm afraid it will be too late." ”

Concubine Rong came back to her senses and looked at Mo Lingwei apologetically: "His Royal Highness the Prince, there is still something to do in this palace, so I will retire first." ”

Mo Lingwei bowed lightly.

He has no joy or anger towards Concubine Rong, so he will not be particularly targeted.

Concubine Rong also said goodbye to Shen Ningning before leaving in a sedan chair.

After she left, Shen Ningning asked Mo Lingwei curiously: "Brother, why does Concubine Rong want to worship the Buddha?" ”

"Concubine Rong believes in Buddhism, and every month on the first and fifteenth days of the new year, she has to fast for three days and recite Buddhist scriptures to show her sincerity."

In the early years, Concubine Rong would also chant scriptures to pray for Mo Lingwei's health, and the emperor often praised her for her kindness.

But it soon attracted the jealousy of Concubine Li, Concubine Rong was framed several times and suffered a lot, so later she would still pray for the emperor and Mo Lingwei, but she only dared to do it quietly.

Now Concubine Li is imprisoned in the palace and loses the right to control the sixth palace.

Concubine Rong finally didn't have to recite the Buddha in disguise.

Arrived at Zichen Palace.

Mo Lingwei took a scroll, and after unfolding it, it was a small block with a beautiful plan.

Shen Ningning opened her eyes, looked over seriously, and found that it was the crazy scholar who had taught her those knowledge.

"Brother, what is this?"

"Before my mother's death, I participated in a question of the Chinese Academy, and the three questions on this scroll are the content of the National Academy of Studies ten years ago, you can take a look, maybe it will help you."

Shen Ningning was flattered, and first stretched out his little hand in surprise, just wanting to take it.

She suddenly remembered something, and quickly retracted her hand and covered her big eyes.

"No, no, I can't watch it!" Her voice was soft and glutinous, revealing the innocence of a child: "If there is a similar topic this time, wouldn't I be cheating." ”

Shen Ningning shook his head, and his small body swayed one after another.

"I can't watch it, I promised the crazy master that I would be admitted to the national academy with my own strength."

Mo Lingwei laughed: "The question of ten years ago is long different from today, so it doesn't hurt to take a look." ”

He went to grab Shen Ningning's little hand, but the little guy turned his back directly.

She shook her little brain firmly: "No, no, no, brother, we still eat!" ”

When Mo Lingwei saw her like this, he immediately laughed loudly.

"That's it, if you don't look at it, don't look at it, it's in vain that Prince Ben searched the entire Zichen Palace in order to find this scroll."

Hearing this, Shen Ningning turned his body slightly sideways, and his hands were still covering his eyes, but his fingers were separated, leaving two slits.

A pair of big black eyes looked at Mo Lingwei with gratitude.

"Thank you, brother, but I can't watch it, but I can ask my brother's queen mother to bless me and be admitted to the national academy in one fell swoop."

As he spoke, the little guy closed his eyes, turned his whole body around, and folded his hands.

She said to the scroll: "Queen Mother, I am Shen Ningning, please bless me to pass the exam." ”

Mo Ling leaned lazily against the cushion, and when he saw this, a faint smile bloomed on his thin lips.

He thought of something, the look in his eyes, and followed the memory to a distant time.

"Shen Ningning," Mo Lingwei said lightly: "Do you know how my mother died?" ”

The little one shook his head.

The death of the queen is a taboo in the palace, and the group of palace people involved in the original incident were all secretly executed by the emperor.

The only thing that still knows the truth of the matter is not much.

Mo Lingwei is one of them.

He lowered his eyes, his black eyelashes covering a shadow under his eyelids.

"She burned herself alive."

Shen Ningning was shocked: "What? ”

"Sounds surprising, doesn't it? But it's true, she's for me. When I was born, my father dreamed that the karmic fire under the eighteen layers of hell swept and burned the entire Cangyun country, so since I was born, it symbolizes ominousness, and for many years, my father and queen mother have been troubled. ”

Mo Lingwei's tone was flat, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

He propped up his side face, and his eyes were dark: "Concubine Li met a famous half-immortal out of nowhere that year, and she privately dedicated this person to my mother. ”

"The half-fairy told the queen mother that as long as she was willing to bear the pain of burning herself, the strange cold disease on my body could be cured, and I was very sick at that time, and the cold disease occurred almost every day, and the queen mother was willing to try it for me."

"Concubine Li's locked palace door, she lied to my mother, saying that the fire only needs to be ignited for a moment, and she will bring someone in to extinguish the fire, but when my mother screamed in the fire, Concubine Li went to the imperial study to serve and wait for my father's lunch break."

"By the time I heard the news, the queen mother had already been buried in the flames, a charred corpse beyond recognition."

Shen Ningning's heart trembled when she heard this, and her little face turned pale.

It turned out that Mo Lingwei's past was so painful, no wonder he couldn't let go.

He played with the scroll written by the queen before her death: "Do you think my queen mother is stupid? The clumsy deception conspired by the half-immortal and Concubine Li, she actually believed it, but I knew that she was not stupid. ”

"It's just because she became a mother that she is willing to try any impossibility in the world for me, to endure the pain of burning skin, she just wants me to be healthy and happy like a normal person."

"But Concubine Li killed her, and her father also failed her."

Shen Ningning's soft voice was full of hatred: "Why didn't the emperor's uncle punish Concubine Li?" She's so bad! ”

Mo Lingwei sneered: "He doesn't believe that Concubine Li would use such a bizarre reason to deceive my mother into self-immolation, because at the beginning, Concubine Li was a beauty presented by my uncle, and she was regarded as his own person." ”

The queen's family has a pivotal position in Cangyun China, and has produced nine prime ministers, seven queens, and countless princes and princes.

After the queen entered the palace, she fell in love with the emperor, and the young husband and wife were in love.

But unexpectedly, the queen suddenly had a strange illness.

At such a moment, the family was afraid that the power would not be stable, so they sent the good-looking Concubine Li into the palace to consolidate the power of the harem.

As soon as Concubine Li entered the palace, she relied on her graceful figure to gain the emperor's favor.

The queen's body also got better mysteriously, and for a while, the emperor thought that the arrival of Concubine Li brought blessings to the queen.

During that time, it was probably the most difficult life for the queen, so later it was rumored that she did not hesitate to use evil magic to seek a child in order to compete with Concubine Li.

"If my father refuses to abolish Concubine Li, I can only punish my uncle in my own way."

Mo Lingwei said this, his eyes were dark and cold: "He is the queen mother's own brother, how can he send off the woman who said goodbye to her husband's pillow when she is seriously ill and needs care the most?" ”

Shen Ningning bowed his head: "My brother's uncle is too much, he should break off his friendship for five years, no, ten years!" ”

Mo Lingwei smiled: "It doesn't matter, their family is all dead." ”

Shen Ningning blinked his eyes wide, Mo Lingwei suddenly retracted his expression, and turned to say, "Let's stay at noon to eat the imperial meal, and then leave when we are finished." ”

As soon as the words fell, the eunuch entered the door: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you should drink the medicine." ”

Before he got closer, Shen Ningning smelled an extremely pungent bitter taste.
