Refusing to marry the king of broken sleeves

Chapter 180: The Box's Secret Ling Ruoyao never imagined that her mother, whom she had never met before, was actually the concubine Zhen's dowry maid, and the master and servant were also God Wuying's lifesavers.

Isn't Concubine Zhen the mother and concubine of the Second Prince Huangfuxuan?

For a while, no one spoke aloud, and the atmosphere seemed a bit heavy and depressing.

It seemed that no one knew how to speak to break the atmosphere of silence.

Ling Ruoyao frowned delicately, and there was a dignified expression on her fair and pretty face.

Even though it didn't sound like a big deal, she was still a little incapable of accepting it.

His own mother was actually the dowry maid of the emperor's most beloved concubine.As a court lady who works in the palace, would Ling Yan not know her, would she not know her identity?

This is what puzzled her the most.

"Back then..." After being silent for a while, Shen Wuying broke the solemn atmosphere, "When I parted from Concubine Zhen and your mother, I gave Concubine Zhen a token of Shenyutang. As long as they need me Where you help, you can use that token as a token. Unexpectedly, you have never seen each other since then. Only a few years later, I heard that Concubine Zhen died of illness, and your mother is also missing. But Unexpectedly, she later married the current prime minister."

"You have inquired about my identity, haven't you?" Ling Ruoyao suddenly raised her eyes to look at Shen Wuying, her expression was a little serious, and even her tone of voice seemed a little stiff.

If Shen Wuying knew that her mother was married to Ling Yan, who was the prime minister, then she would naturally know of her existence. Maybe he would have told her when he saw her for the first time. tell her.

After hearing her question, Shen Wuying didn't hide it, but nodded and said: "When I first saw you, I thought you looked familiar. You and your mother look very similar. Similar. Although your mother was just a maid, her appearance is not inferior to that of ordinary ladies."

"Are you complimenting my beauty indirectly?" Ling Ruoyao suddenly said carelessly, and put on a shy look, startling Shen Wuying and Caizhi.

Feeling the strange gazes from the two of them, she suddenly realized that she had done something wrong, so she quickly cleared her throat and put on an upright appearance.

In fact, these things have nothing to do with her. In the final analysis, she is just a ghost from the 21st century. No matter what concubine Zhen, Fang Lanxin, or God Wuying, their past is all related to her. She has nothing to do.

Although, saying this seems a bit unfilial to her mother who has never met.

"I remember that one day not long before the death of Concubine Zhen, I received a letter from the capital. After reading it, I realized that it was written by Concubine Zhen. I said yes, and I would use the token I gave her back then. One thing." Shen Wuying said, and seemed to be caught in the memory, "Because I am grateful for her life-saving grace, and I have already said that if they need my help, I will try my best to help, so , and didn't ask what was the matter, and agreed to her."

"Then do you know what happened later?" Ling Ruoyao suddenly became interested and asked subconsciously, looking at him nervously and curiously.

Nodding his head, Shen Wuying sighed and said, "Yes, I did know what it was later on."

"Then what exactly is it?" Ling Ruoyao continued to ask, even Caizhi next to her looked curious.

However, Shen Wuying suddenly put on a trick, shook his head and said: "It's better that you don't know about it, this matter is extraordinary. But I think, your mother may have told you about some things."

"My mother?" Ling Ruoyao was once again confused, her clear and refined face was full of doubts, "I even... when my mother passed away, I was still young, so I don't even remember what important things she said to me matter."

She almost said yes, she had never even met her so-called mother, but luckily she reacted in time so that she wouldn't let her slip.

Turning to look at her, Shen Wuying looked calm, and suddenly smiled and said: "Don't you have a small box with a lock? Seeing that you are so precious, it must be something important, right?"

"How do you know?" Subconsciously said, Ling Ruoyao remembered that her mother left her a small box with a lock as her dowry.

It's a pity that because it was locked, she couldn't open the box, so she didn't know what was inside.

Now that Shen Wuying has heard so many things, if she doesn't open that box to take a look, she probably will be driven mad.

"Didn't you forget your baggage in the hut at the bottom of the mountain after you were taken away by the thieves that day?" Shen Wuying said slowly, "It's also a good thing that the small box was not taken away, otherwise, I'm afraid it's gone now. "

That's right, if the bandits took her box that day, I'm afraid she would have been buried in the sea of ​​fire together with the bandits' den.

"I saw that the box was locked, so I figured it must be something important, and then related to the events of the year, I guessed that it might be left to you by your mother, and maybe it was to tell you the events of the year." Wuying said, and suddenly sighed, "However, I think it's better not to tell you."

The corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably, Ling Ruoyao couldn't help but rolled her eyes, and said inwardly, didn't he tell her all the things that year?It's better not to tell her now, isn't that tantalizing?

"Old man, that's the dowry my mother left me." Ling Ruoyao took a deep breath, raised the corners of her lips and said, "It doesn't matter whether the box contains good things or bad things, it's all my mother's dowry." What is left to me is something that is worth cherishing for the rest of my life.”

Shen Wuying was stunned for a while, and then smiled after a while.

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he asked aloud: "When I sent someone to inquire about your affairs, I also heard... Are you married? Or are you married to the current Fourth Prince?"

Ling Ruoyao rolled her eyes again, and pulled the corners of her mouth helplessly.

Can he stop taking the matter of spying on her for granted?

With a casual smile, she said nonchalantly: "Your man, the news is really not well informed, I have already divorced that man!"

She was taken aback again, Shen Wuying didn't speak any more, but suddenly burst into laughter, which made Ling Ruoyao very inexplicable.

It wasn't until he smiled comfortably that he looked at her again and said, "You must also want to know what's in that box, right? So, please do it yourself."

She really couldn't wait, so she stood up quickly, said goodbye to him, led Caizhi, turned around and walked out of the room.

After Ling Ruoyao left, Shen Wuying looked out of the house with blank eyes again, and said to himself: "Perhaps, this is God's will."

***

After leaving Shen Wuying's hut, Ling Ruoyao led Caizhi and walked quickly towards her own room.

Along the way, both of them were silent, both in shock and surprise.

Although she kept telling herself that these things had nothing to do with her at all, she still couldn't help being very curious, and wanted to know what Concubine Zhen did with the token that Shen Wuying gave her back then?What exactly was the dowry her mother gave her?

"Miss..." Caizhi hesitated and said out loud as she followed her, "Madam, is she really the dowry maid of Concubine Zhen?"

Without speaking, Ling Ruoyao didn't know how to answer her.

Seemingly not expecting her to answer, Caizhi continued: "Miss, do you think that when the master married his wife, did he know the identity of the lady?"

Ling Ruoyao paused, her heart was also full of doubts.

Turning her head to look at Caizhi, she cleared her throat and said, "In your impression, does daddy know who mother is?"

Caizhi put on a contemplative look, tried hard to think back, and shook her head after a while and said: "I think I don't seem to know."

"That's right." Ling Ruoyao waved her hand casually.

She has always wondered about this question, but after thinking about it carefully, she will find that it is not difficult to answer.

Concubine Zhen is a member of the harem, while her mother is just a small dowry maid, one of the huge palace ladies in the harem, she is not very eye-catching at all.In addition, the men of the previous dynasty, except for the children of the royal family, were not allowed to set foot in the harem unless they were summoned by the emperor.

Come to think of it, the number of times Ling Yan entered the harem is also very rare, right?There must not be many opportunities for the two to meet, or maybe not at all.Ling Yan didn't know the identity of her mother, so she could figure it out.

Moreover, she also heard that Concubine Zhen has always kept a low profile, almost always staying in the harem, and most of the time staying in her own palace.

Such a low-key person, presumably the maid beside her is also a low-key person, right?

Otherwise, when she first came to this strange country, she would not know that her mother was a very low-key person when she inquired about things from Caizhi.

Without further entanglement with this issue, the two returned to the house where they lived temporarily.

After entering the room, Ling Ruoyao went straight to the dressing table, picked up the small box with a lock, and walked back to the round table to sit down.

She ordered Caizhi to find someone to find a tool to open the 5c lock, and the two of them opened the box together.

She finally opened the box that had been by her side for so long, and the contents inside were finally seen.

When opening the small lock, Ling Ruoyao suddenly found that she was so excited, jumping non-stop, as if she wanted to jump out of her chest.

Slowly opening the lid, she swallowed quietly before looking intently.

When she saw the things in the box, she couldn't help but froze for a moment, seeming a little disappointed.

There is nothing valuable in this box, there is only a piece of jade pendant which is not very attractive.This kind of jade pendant is not uncommon, why did her mother lock it up like a treasure?

Picking up the jade pendant and examining it carefully, and repeated it several times, she was sure that there was really nothing special about the jade pendant.

If there is anything special about it, it seems that this jade pendant has been around for a long time, and it doesn't look like the newly made jade pendant.

"Caizhi, do you see what's different about this jade pendant?" Ling Ruoyao said nonchalantly after handing the jade pendant to Caizhi.

Carefully took the jade pendant she handed over, Caizhi also looked at it carefully, then shook her head after a while and said: "The servant is dull, I don't see anything special."

Taking back the jade pendant, Ling Ruoyao curled her lips and said, "It's not that you are stupid, but this jade pendant is indeed very ordinary."

After speaking, she put the jade pendant back into the box.

But the moment she put it back in the box, she found that there was still a letter in the box.

I was only paying attention to the jade pendant just now, but didn't find this letter.

Putting the jade pendant aside, she quickly picked up the envelope and took out the letter paper inside.

"Miss, what is this?" Caizhi also leaned over her head and asked suspiciously.

While opening the letter paper, Ling Ruoyao said, "Maybe it's the letter my mother left for me."

As she spoke, she carefully read the contents of the letter.

"Miss, what did Madam say?" Caizhi was not able to read much, so she could only ask Ling Ruoyao aloud.

"Shut up, I'm watching." Frowning, Ling Ruoyao stopped her words.And as she read down the lines of words, her brows tightened even more, and her heart felt extremely heavy.

I saw that on the somewhat yellowed letter paper, there were lines of beautiful characters, which read——

"Ruoyao, my good daughter.

When you read this letter, you must have already married a wife.It's a pity that mother can't watch you get on the sedan chair with her own eyes. This is the biggest regret in mother's life.

When I picked up the pen and was about to write this letter to you, my mother hesitated for a long time, wondering if it was right or wrong to tell you this matter?But apart from you, Mother doesn't know who to tell.

You are mother's flesh and blood, and the closest person to mother.Mother can't give this jade pendant to other people, but to you.

Ruoyao, listen, you must take good care of this jade pendant, and you must not make any mistakes, let alone lose it.

Because, this jade pendant is related to the future of the entire Cheyuan Kingdom.This jade pendant is a symbol of succession to the throne.Only the person who gets this jade pendant is eligible to become the emperor of Cheyuan Kingdom! .

As for who will own this jade pendant and who will be the emperor of Cheyuan Kingdom, it is up to you to decide.

Seeing this, you must be very puzzled, why does mother still have this jade pendant?

This jade pendant was stolen by Concubine Zhen back then, but no one knew that she took it, everyone only knew that it was Shen Yutang Shen Wuying who took the jade pendant.

After the concubine Zhen took the jade pendant away, she handed it to me, and asked me to take the jade pendant out of the palace and go as far as possible.Out to the unknown.

But I feel that the most dangerous place is the safest place.So, I returned to the capital and married your father.

But your father doesn't know that I am the dowry maid of Concubine Zhen. "

Several pages of content, Ling Ruoyao suddenly found that she was unable to continue reading, and there was still a page that she hadn't read, so she put the letter away, just because the content of the letter was too shocking.

She never thought that this seemingly inconspicuous jade pendant would be a symbol of succession to the throne!

And all of this is in her hands!
