The mistress is reborn, no one who bullies me can escape

The abbot looked at her with doubt, and slowly said: "Are you really so determined that you don't want to see him again? In my opinion..."

Before the abbot could finish, the nun shook her head gently, her face full of misery, and said in a sad voice: "Brother, so many years have passed, my heart has long been dead, and I have been hurt by him. Even if we meet now, what can we do? He is gone, no matter how much I care and feel bad, I can never recover what I have lost."

At this moment, Ling Yan just stepped out of the cave.

He was originally marveling at how wonderful this place was, like an intoxicating paradise.

However, just as he was immersed in the beautiful scenery, he overheard this conversation.

In an instant, Ling Yan's expression became as calm as a lake, but his heart was surging.

He was very sure that this nun was undoubtedly Concubine Hui.

Ling Yan frowned slightly, wondering whether he should show up and leave.

But just as he was thinking, there was a slight sound suddenly coming from under his feet.

Although the subtle sound is soft, it is particularly clear in this quiet environment.

The abbot and the nun obviously noticed something strange here, and they turned around almost at the same time.

When they saw that the person coming was Ling Yan, the abbot was immediately shocked and stammered, "Your Highness... Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Concubine Hui's face turned pale as paper in an instant. She never thought that she would be found even though she was hiding in such a remote place.

But after just a moment of trembling, Concubine Hui returned to normal and said to Ling Yan, "Amitabha."

Ling Yan didn't come here to hear this, so he said, "You are Concubine Hui. Who are you to my father? Why did he ask me to find you when he was dying?"

This news was like a bolt from the blue, hitting Concubine Hui directly on the head. She simply couldn't believe it and murmured to herself, "He's dead... He's actually dead..."

After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes again, "Amitabha."

The abbot sighed upon seeing this and said, "Your Highness, this is not the place you should be. You should go back."

Ling Yan smiled and said, "Why can't I come? If I'm not mistaken, Concubine Hui, you are my biological grandmother, right?"

Concubine Hui originally wanted to deny it, but her hands couldn't help but tremble, and she was frightened and panicked.

"You...you are talking nonsense." Concubine Hui looked very angry, as if her tail had been stepped on.

Ling Yan said, "If that's not the case, then why did he ask me to come here to find you?"

Concubine Hui seemed to remember something and closed her eyes in pain.

"Your Highness, if she doesn't want to talk, you can go back."

Ling Yan frowned, "I have found this place. Do you think I can go back safely?"

The abbot was also unable to persuade him, so Ling Yan continued, "I went through so much trouble to find this place, and I will never go back until I have figured out what's going on."

The abbot frowned and looked at Concubine Hui.

Seeing that things had come to this, Concubine Hui felt very uncomfortable in her heart. Finally, she sighed, "Forget it. Since you are here, it is fate. If I don't explain things clearly this time, I am afraid you will come again in the future."

Seeing her give in, Ling Yan couldn't help but be overjoyed, "My Lady Concubine, please explain clearly why my father asked me to come to you?"

After saying this, Ling Yan took out the jade pendant in his hand.

When Concubine Hui saw the jade pendant, her expression became painful. "Indeed, I am your biological grandmother. The current Empress Dowager is not the Emperor's biological mother."

"Then... why is this happening?" Ling Yan was very confused.

Concubine Hui then said, "The current emperor has the same fate as you, a lonely fate with seven evil spirits."

Ling Yan couldn't help but be shocked and couldn't believe it. "You...what do you mean?"

"The current Empress is not your biological mother, just like the Empress Dowager back then. So now you understand why the Emperor would not kill the Empress even though he knew what she did, right?"

Ling Yan suddenly looked at her and said, "So, you and the Empress Dowager are actually biological sisters?"

Concubine Hui nodded and said, "There is a kind of evil magic in southern Xinjiang that can change people's minds. In fact... it just wastes people's spirit. Later, I don't know how it spread here."

"And those quacks combined these things with fate, and it became the so-called exchange of fate, changing fate against the will of heaven. In fact... it was nothing more than sucking human blood and causing people to die..."

Ling Yan frowned and looked at her suspiciously, questioning her in disbelief, "You actually said that the idea of ​​changing one's fate against the will of heaven is pure fiction? Could it be that it was deliberately fabricated by those charlatans to deceive the world?"

He really found it hard to accept such a conclusion.

Concubine Hui recalled her past experiences and couldn't help but sneer. She said in a mocking tone: "Humph, if one can really change a person's fate at will, then why has no one ever dared to directly steal the fate of the current emperor? Isn't this a huge joke!"

The more she thought about it, the more ridiculous it seemed.

However, Ling Yan muttered to himself, "But if everything is just nonsense, then what about my so-called Seven Evils and Lonely Fate? Ever since I met the Crown Princess, my fate seems to have changed dramatically. How can I explain this?"

Ling Yan was somewhat puzzled by this question.

In short, the idea of ​​changing one's fate against the will of heaven was pure nonsense, and Ling Yan could not believe it no matter what; but if all this was true, why did Concubine Hui deny it so flatly?

At this time, Concubine Hui slowly spoke: "As far as I know, there is an extremely strange Gu technique in the southern Xinjiang region. Once someone secretly plants this Gu, it will gradually erode the person's spiritual strength, causing the person's life span to be greatly reduced, and they often do not live beyond the age of 20 or 30. However, if you can successfully remove the Gu poison before it takes effect, then you can be spared."

Hearing this, Ling Yan suddenly understood. He widened his eyes and asked anxiously, "So, what you mean is... I wasn't born with the Seven Evils Lonely Fate, but was just unfortunately poisoned by a Gu?"

Despite the cruel truth, Concubine Hui still spoke firmly: "Yes, you were poisoned from the moment you were born. The reason why the poison was eliminated later was because the Crown Princess herself was the antidote that could dissolve the poison caused by the insect."

At this point, Concubine Hui paused for a moment, then added: "But..."

Hearing this turning point, Ling Yan's heart tightened, and he quickly asked, "But what?"

Concubine Hui looked solemn and said slowly: "The so-called Seven Evils Lonely Fate is not limited to one person. If my memory is correct, then you should be one of the two."

Ling Yan's face was full of confusion, his brows knitted tightly, and he asked anxiously: "What does this mean? What do you mean I am one of the two people?"

Facing Ling Yan's barrage of questions, Concubine Hui did not immediately give a direct response. Instead, she changed the subject and asked another question: "Do you know why I want to live in seclusion here?"

Ling Yan was confused by the question and could only shake his head blankly, indicating that he didn't know the answer.

Seeing this, Concubine Hui couldn't help but sigh deeply and explained in a heavy tone: "It's normal that you don't know, because I gave birth to twins that year."

Hearing this, Ling Yan was struck by lightning. His body leaned back involuntarily with an expression of disbelief on his face.

Concubine Hui looked at the Crown Prince's unbelievable expression, her lips curled up slightly, and she said softly: "Do you think all this is incredible and hard to believe?"

Her words seemed to carry a hint of helplessness and emotion.

Indeed, this fact is not easy to accept.

Ling Yan remained silent, but the expression on his face had already revealed his inner shock.

At this moment, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes were full of doubt and confusion.

Concubine Hui sighed softly and continued, "When I gave birth to twins, one of them was your father."

"But the other child was quietly taken away shortly after birth."

When she said this, her eyes became a little dim, as if she was recalling the painful past.

When Ling Yan heard this, he couldn't help but frowned and asked, "Why was the child taken away?" He couldn't understand the reason.

Concubine Hui took a deep breath and slowly explained: "Twins may be regarded as a good omen in ordinary people's families, but the situation is completely different in the imperial family."

"As the saying goes, 'There can't be two tigers in one mountain.' Unless a man and a woman are auspicious signs of dragon and phoenix, they will be regarded as ominous and heretical."

Ling Yan was shocked and his eyes widened involuntarily. He asked anxiously, "What does this mean? Could it be that... I am also one of the twins?"

This sudden truth struck him like a bolt from the blue, and for a moment he was at a loss.

Concubine Hui looked at his face full of astonishment and knew that there was no point in hiding it any longer.

So she nodded and replied in a heavy tone: "Yes, you have another brother."

"Moreover, he is also poisoned like you, and he also urgently needs an antidote to relieve the pain."

When Ling Yan heard this, he suddenly realized something and stood up abruptly, "Crown Princess..."

No, drawing is dangerous.
