Shen Ningning lowered her body, and called obediently: "Hello, Concubine Rong."

Concubine Rong bent her eyes and smiled elegantly and softly: "You are so good."

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

Only then did Concubine Rong come to her senses, and she looked at Mo Lingwei apologetically, "Your Highness, I still have something to do in the palace, so I will take my leave first."

Mo Lingwei nodded lightly.

He has neither joy nor anger towards Concubine Rong, so he will not specifically target her.

After Concubine Rong said goodbye to Shen Ningning, she left in a sedan chair.

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

"Concubine Rong believes in Buddhism. On the first and fifteenth day of each month, she has to fast for three days and recite Buddhist scriptures to show her sincerity."

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

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

Concubine Li is now imprisoned in the palace and loses the right to be in charge of the Six Palaces.

Concubine Rong finally didn't have to cover up and chant the Buddha's name.

Arrived at Zichen Palace.

Mo Lingwei brought a scroll, and when it was unfolded, there were beautiful and regular lower letters on it.

Shen Ningning opened her watery eyes, looked over seriously, and found that the crazy scholar had taught her the knowledge.

"Brother, this is?"

"Before my mother's mother was alive, she once participated in the examination of the National Academy of Sciences. The three questions on this scroll are the contents of the recruitment examination of the National Academy of Sciences ten years ago. You can take a look, and it may be helpful to you."

Shen Ningning was flattered, first she stretched out her little hand in surprise, and just wanted to take it.

She suddenly remembered something, and quickly withdrew her hand to cover her big eyes.

"No, no, I can't read it!" Her voice was soft, revealing the innocence of a child: "If there is a similar topic this time, I am cheating."

Shen Ningning shook his head, followed by a sway of his small body.

"I can't watch it. I promised the crazy master that I will be admitted to the Chinese Academy of Sciences based on my own strength."

Mo Lingwei laughed: "The question ten years ago is already different from what it is today, so it doesn't hurt to have a look."

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

She shook her little head firmly: "No, no, brother, let's eat!"

Seeing her like this, Mo Lingwei laughed loudly.

"Forget it, if you don't read it, don't read it. It's a waste of time for the prince to search the entire Zichen Palace in order to find this scroll."

Shen Ningning heard the words, turned her body slightly, and covered her eyes with her hands, but separated her fingers, leaving two slits.

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

"Thank you, brother, but I can't read it. However, I can ask my brother's mother to bless me so that I can be admitted to the Chinese Academy of Sciences in one fell swoop."

Saying that, the little guy closed his eyes, turned his whole body around, and clasped his hands together.

She said to the scroll: "Empress, I am Shen Ningning, please bless me to pass every exam."

Mo Lingwei leaned lazily on the cushion, seeing this, a faint smile bloomed on his thin lips.

What did he think of, the look in his eyes, followed the memory to the distant time.

"Shen Ningning," Mo Lingwei said calmly, "Do you know how my mother died?"

The little guy shook his head.

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

The only ones who still know the truth of the matter are not many.

Mo Lingwei was one of them.

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

"She burned herself alive."

Shen Ningning was shocked: "What?"

"Sounds very strange, doesn't it? But it's true, she is for me. When I was born, my father had a dream, and the karmic fire under the eighteenth floor of hell swept across and burned the entire Cangyun Kingdom. Therefore, since I was born , is a symbol of ominousness, and for many years, the father, the queen and the queen 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 his face sideways, with dark eyes: "Concubine Li met a famous half-immortal from somewhere that year, and she dedicated him to my queen in private."

"The half-immortal told the empress that as long as she is willing to bear the pain of burning her body, the strange cold disease on my body can be cured. At that time, I was very sick and the cold disease broke out almost every day. The empress was willing to try it for me. "

"Concubine Li locked the palace door. She lied to my mother, saying that the fire only needs to be ignited for a moment, and she will bring people in to put out the fire. However, when my queen was screaming in the fire, Concubine Li went to guard her Serving in the study, serving my father's lunch break."

"By the time I heard the news, my mother had already been buried in the sea of ​​flames, and she became a charred corpse beyond recognition."

Shen Ningning was terrified 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 it go.

He played with the scroll written by the queen during her lifetime: "Do you think my mother is stupid? The clumsy deception conspired by Banxian and Concubine Li, she actually believed it was true, but I know that she is not stupid."

"Just because she became a mother, she is willing to try any impossible thing in this world for me, and 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 Emperor Father also failed her."

Shen Ningning's soft and waxy voice was full of hatred: "Why didn't Uncle Emperor punish Concubine Li? She is so bad!"

Mo Lingwei sneered: "He didn't believe that Concubine Li would use such a bizarre reason to trick my mother into setting herself on fire, because Concubine Li was a beauty presented by my uncle, and she was considered one of my own."

The queen's family holds a pivotal position in the Cangyun country. There have been 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 couple was at the time of deep affection.

But unexpectedly, the queen suddenly fell ill with a strange disease.

At such a moment, the family feared that the power would not be stable, so they sent the beautiful concubine Li into the palace to consolidate the power of the harem.

As soon as Concubine Li entered the palace, she was favored by the emperor with her graceful figure.

The queen's body also recovered strangely. For a while, the emperor thought that the arrival of Concubine Li brought good fortune to the queen.

During that time, the empress was probably having the hardest time living, so there were rumors that in order to compete with Concubine Li, she did not hesitate to use sorcery to obtain a child.

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

When Mo Lingwei said this, his eyes were dark and cold: "He is the mother's real brother, how could he send a farewell woman to her husband's pillow when she is seriously ill and needs the most care?"

Shen Ningning nodded: "My brother's uncle is too much, we should break up for five years, no, ten years!"

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

Shen Ningning blinked his big eyes, and Mo Lingwei immediately restrained his expression, and said instead: "Stay here for lunch, and leave after you're done."

As soon as the words were finished, the eunuch came in: "Your Highness, it's time for you to drink the medicine."

Before getting close, Shen Ningning smelled an extremely pungent bitter smell.
