She thought of today's imperial edict, held Mu Xuechu's arm with some excitement and said: "Mom, Your Majesty wants me to accompany the deposed prince. My daughter knows that she is wrong. Please save me. I don't want to go to Nangong. I I don’t want to be imprisoned.”
Nangong is an abandoned palace on the southern outskirts of Beijing. It has been used to imprison erring heirs since ancient times. However, no one has opened it since the founding of Beichen.
Now that the deposed prince had made a mistake, although he had saved his life, he would be imprisoned in the Nangong Palace for the rest of his life, and she, the concubine who was engaged to the prince, could not escape such a fate.
When Shen Wanyue panicked, she remembered what Mu Xuechu had said to her last time. She grasped at a life-saving straw and said, "Isn't my father your Majesty? Go and tell your Majesty that I am her daughter. If he knew, he wouldn't let me accompany the prince."
When Mu Xuechu saw her daughter, her eyebrows twisted involuntarily: "Who told you?"
She clearly didn't mention His Majesty at that time, but how did Sister Yue know?
Shen Wanyue said: "When I was ten years old, I saw His Majesty come out of your room with my own eyes. I was young and didn't understand it until I grew up. I didn't understand until I grew up. Moreover, Brother Rui is not like my father or like you. That's why I had this suspicion.
You said that I am also a scoundrel. Since Brother Rui’s biological father is Your Majesty, who else can my father be besides Your Majesty?"
Mu Xuechu didn't expect her daughter to be so thoughtful. She persuaded her nicely: "You really want to recognize your father? But don't forget, this is a scandal. How will your Majesty explain you to the world once it is exposed?" life experience?
Furthermore, I am not sure that you are His Majesty’s daughter. If I make a mistake, this is the death penalty of beheading. Can you afford it?”
Shen Wanyue heard the meaning of her words and sneered: "To put it bluntly, you just don't want to save me, right? Why did you give birth to me if you felt embarrassed?"
Mu Xuechu angrily threw her hands away and slapped her, feeling extremely chilled: "How could you become like this?"
Shen Wanyue covered her face and slowly raised her head to look at her: "If you don't save me, I can save it myself, right? Don't you want to prove my life experience? But you can't prove it. Mom, you should remember my love for Mang when I was a child. Are you allergic to ficus?
I actually remembered that I heard the prince once say that your majesty is also allergic to mango tree, which should be enough proof, right?"
She couldn't eat the mango tree because it would make her whole body itchy when she touched it. When she had a secret meeting with the prince before, the prince had sent snacks made by the mango tree.
It was then that she heard from the prince that His Majesty was also allergic to mango rong, but she didn't pay attention at the time.
Thinking about it now, this may be the best evidence to prove her identity.
When Mu Xue first saw that she was determined and even found the evidence herself, she stood up with sadness in her heart and said: "Okay, since you have already planned for yourself, then I will make it happen for you, but if you recognize him, you will never see him again." Not my daughter."
Shen Wanyue lowered her eyes, her heart hardened. In her previous life, her mother went crazy not long after they divorced her, and later even let her go.
In her memory, she did not have much attachment to the word mother. After all, she had been an orphan for so many years in her previous life, and family affection was of little importance to her.
All she wants is Xiao Chengyi.
So what if that person is his cousin? They don't need to get married or be husband and wife, she just wants him to accompany him throughout this life!
Shen Wanyue knelt on the couch and bowed: "Please forgive my daughter for being unfilial!"
Mu Xuechu's expression changed and she staggered back a few steps. She shook her head and murmured with a self-deprecating smile: "Okay, okay, this is your own choice, don't regret it."
Shen Wanyue raised her head with firm eyes: "No regrets!"
Mu Xuechu had nothing to say anymore. She waved her sleeves and turned around and walked out, but tears could not help but flow down her face.
Shen Chi, who was waiting outside the door, hugged her with some distress upon seeing this, patted her back gently and whispered: "You still have me!"
