One second to remember [Brushstroke Pavilion] [Free of charge, read the wonderful novel!]

Tearing apart the brocade handkerchief in her hand, Yang Yingxue's heart surged with endless jealousy, but even more of it was filled with helplessness. When a person left you far behind, because you left it behind too far, your courage to chase after them disappeared.

Xia Jingqiu also sat at the side without speaking. After a long while, she suddenly sighed, "Xue'er, mother knows that you are feeling indignant, but from now on, no matter how jealous you are, you must endure it."

Yang Yingxue's heart trembled, "Mother, why? Could it be that she was born to be stronger than me? "

A wry smile hung on Xia Jingqiu's lips as her gaze wavered. "You've asked me before, my father was once the Grand Preceptor of the capital and was ranked first rank among the imperial court. He could be said to be incredibly powerful. "Even though I am a Shu daughter, if I were to carefully scheme, the Wang family would also be able to marry into our family. Why would I marry into your father's family in Jiangnan …"

"Mother, are you willing to tell me?" Yang Yingxue had asked this question many times before, but Xia Jingqiu never answered her.

"It's not that Mother doesn't want to tell you, it's that Mother doesn't know how to tell you. Some people are born superior, like your aunt, Xia Jingyan. Ever since she was born, she was the apple of the Xia family's eye. Since she was young, she had been doted on by countless people. Even if she wanted the stars in the sky, there would still be countless people holding her hand. My mother was also jealous before, why is it that she's also the daughter of the Xia family? Just because I was born from a concubine, there's a huge gap between us. "

Seeing Xia Jingyan's painful expression, Yang Yingxue could not bear it anymore and went forward to grab her arm.

When the emperor was still the crown prince, he had already fallen for Xia Jingyan. It was a pity that in order to fight for the support of the Xia family, a few princes had surrounded Xia Jingyan in a circle. You couldn't imagine the scene where the most powerful man in the world fought over a woman … In the past, his father had wanted to protect Xia Jingyan from falling into the struggle for the crown prince's throne, so he wanted to resign and return home. However, this had caused the princes to be dissatisfied. In the end, the only choice he had was to support the current emperor's ascension to the throne. Later on, the emperor won the throne, and the few surviving princes placed their hatred on the Xia Clan, plotting for Xia Jingyan to marry the then small official, Shen Dong. "

"So auntie actually married her uncle like this. Did the emperor not stop her at that time?"

"I don't know the specific reason either. I only know that there was evidence later to prove that the Xia Clan was traitorous and their entire clan was exterminated. It was also the Emperor who protected Xia Jingyan's life with great difficulty. It's a pity that in the end, he still died. " Xia Jingqiu sighed deeply.

'The reason the Emperor dotes so much on Shen Ninghua now is probably because of Aunt. After so many years, he has never forgotten a girl who was still married to someone else. Is Aunt really that good? '

The expression in Xia Jingyan's eyes wavered intensely: "You didn't see Xia Jingyan, and already don't know how peerless she is! It is hard for you to describe such a wonderful girl even if you use all your words. Her actions were fascinating, and there were countless girls from aristocratic families who had gritted their teeth in hatred. It was all because of Xia Jingyan's appearance that no one else could compete with her. "

Yang Yingxue was stupefied …

It was because my mother was jealous of her that she said such bad things about her behind her back. She even wanted to ruin her reputation, which was why your grandmother directly married her into Jiangnan.

"Mother, why did you suddenly tell me this?"

"Shen Ling Han?" Thinking of that lame and crazed girl, Yang Yingxue's heart trembled. She had also heard from the servants that she was also the capital's number one beauty. "Yes, mother, I'll remember it."

The mother and daughter were silent for a long time. A silhouette flashed past the window before quietly leaving. Not long later, the topic of their conversation was handed over to Shen Ninghua.

Looking at the contents on the paper, Shen Ninghua's brows were knitted tightly.

"Miss, what's wrong?" Bai Yu was somewhat worried.

"It's nothing, just a little emotional. I've heard about my mother from many people. If it wasn't for me, she wouldn't …"

"Miss, why would you think that? "You have also investigated it. When Madam was poisoned, you were born after many trials and tribulations. It can be seen that you are very much in love with her …"

Shen Ninghua smiled and took out the dragon and phoenix jade pendant from her sleeve. Carefully stroking the runes on it, she said, "Bai Yu, notify the others to continue investigating and find out the origins of this jade pendant." After listening to so much, she had some guesses in her heart. With her mother's intelligence, how could she have found out about the poison? How could it be that she had been annihilated without finding out anything? She must have been depressed for a long time and harbored the will to die, allowing the matter to develop.

"Yes, miss."

In his half asleep state, he suddenly felt his body sink, and then fell into a deep dream. In the dream, she once again returned to the cold palace, her legs were crippled, like a beast that was about to live. Yet, Shen Ling Han still remained aloof, enjoying the love of Hundred Miles of Jin Ze. She cried out. Her collapse was completely useless. She could only endure the heart-wrenching pain every day. Day after day …

It was like she was drowning, unable to speak or breathe. She could only watch as the grim, deathly face approached her:

"No, don't..."

Bai Yu rushed into the room and saw Shen Ninghua asleep on the bed. His whole body was twitching and his face turned pale. "Young Miss, what's wrong? Young Miss, please wake up!"

As soon as Chu Junyi entered the room, she heard Bai Yu's panicked shouts. She rushed into the room and saw Shen Ninghua sweating profusely. "Ning Hua?"

"Lord Chu, Miss has been asleep for less than a quarter of an hour. Suddenly, her whole body is covered with cold sweat as if she had a nightmare, but she could not wake up."

Chu Junyi's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly lifted Shen Ninghua up and put him on the bed. "Take my jade pendant and ask for Principal Chen."

"Yes."

Chu Junyi lifted her sleeve to wipe the sweat off Shen Ninghua's face. A storm was brewing in her eyes. Who was it that was plotting against her?

"Xiao Hua, wake up! I'm Chu Junyi. Can you hear me? Wake up!"

In the dream, Shen Ninghua looked at the servant approaching with an evil grin. He wanted to shout out loud, but no sound came out. He could only watch as he slowly poured the decomposing water onto her body.

Looking at Shen Ninghua's pale face, Chu Junyi was flustered. She quickly pulled Shen Ninghua up and held her tightly in her arms. Condensation! "Wake up!"

Tears flowed down from the corners of his eyes as Shen Ninghua's aura became weaker and weaker …

Chu Junyi's heart skipped a beat. She pressed her hand against her lips and kissed it. She was crying in her heart, 'Cool! Wake up!' Ning Hua, wake up!

Within the dream, Shen Ninghua slowly gave up resisting and slowly allowed himself to be immersed in death. The moment she closed her eyes, she suddenly felt a palpitation in her heart. Following that, a voice was transmitted over:

Ning Hua, wake up! Ning Hua, wake up!

Shen Ninghua slowly opened her eyes. The pain was still continuing, but she subconsciously looked for the source of the sound. The sound was getting louder and louder. Eventually, it seemed as if it was covering the sky. It pierced through the clouds and made a big hole in her dark and boundless heart. Sunlight suddenly flooded in!

Shen Ninghua suddenly opened her eyes and took deep breaths. The air was choked into her lungs, causing her to cough until her chest hurt.

Chu Junyi ignored the broken corner of her lips and embraced Shen Ninghua. "Ninghua, you're awake! That's great! You're finally awake!"

Shen Ninghua looked around in a daze. Only after a while did she regain her senses. "Was that just now a dream?"

Chu Junyi's heart ached at the sight of her in such a daze. "You just fell asleep and couldn't wake me up. I can't wake you up. You're sweating and your breathing has weakened. Thank goodness you woke up."

Upon hearing his description, Shen Ninghua's heart skipped a beat. "You can't wake up even if you're sleeping, and your aura is getting weaker and weaker …" She hadn't realized she was dreaming as she was dreaming. She even had the feeling that if she hadn't been awakened by Chu Junyi's voice, she would have been killed instead of given up. She would have perished in reality as well!

Chen Liuyun brought Chen Liuyun here at top speed and entered the room without giving any notice.

"Miss, you're awake?" Seeing Shen Ninghua sitting there, the cyan sparrow exclaimed in delight.

Chu Junyi stepped aside to allow Chen Jun to take a look. "Uncle Chen, please take a look."

Chen Xi nodded his head and carefully felt Shen Ninghua's pulse. "Her pulse is weak and weak, as if she has lost her body. Princess, have you come into contact with something bad recently?"

"No, I was just dreaming …" Shen Ninghua briefly described what happened just now.

Chen Jun frowned. "It's actually because of the dream. Could it be that there's still medicine that can kill people in the dream?"

Killing in a dream? Shen Ninghua knitted her brows tightly, before her expression abruptly changed. She viciously hammered the edge of the bed and said, "Courtyard Chen, help me inspect this jade pendant." "Bluebird, go to the Emerald Bamboo Pavilion and get your aunt and cousin, as well as all the servants of the Re Xi Hall. I want to see who dares to plot against my life!"
