She tricked me into focusing on the struggle for the throne. In front of me and Die, she said that she had already agreed to let us do our business. The next day, she would be my concubine. Die was overjoyed upon hearing that. She happily sat on the bridal sedan and fell into a deep sleep. However, he didn't bring this one to the palace. Instead, he walked around the palace and went to the Prime Minister's Mansion!

When she woke up the next day, she realized that she had become the legitimate Lady Xue. As for me, I successfully ascended the throne, so it's impossible for me to have anything to do with her.

When I found out the truth, I wanted to go find Butterfly. But she thought that my mother and I had conspired to deceive him, to make her a pawn for the throne, and hated me so much that she never saw me again.

After giving birth to a daughter with Xue Duan Sheng, Xiao Die found out that it was the empress dowager who had cheated the both of us that day. But it was too late. Neither of them could return. I had no choice but to look at her portrait every day with tears in my eyes.

I had thought that it would be fine as long as I could silently watch over her happiness. Who would have thought that when her daughter was five years old, she would suddenly suffer from a serious illness that separated her Yin from Yang. In order to make up for my regret, I gave my son, the Crown Prince, to her daughter. I thought to myself, this crown prince really likes this little girl. The two of them look like a match made in heaven. This has more or less reduced the guilt in my heart and filled in the regrets I've had over the years.

Who knew that after her mother left, this child would lose control of her body and change her personality by quite a bit. She gradually drifted away from the Crown Prince, and eventually, the Crown Prince also annulled her marriage. I really couldn't bear to let such an unhappy thing like myself happen to my son again. Although I was unwilling, I had no choice but to agree to this matter.

Upon hearing this story, Xue Luoyun froze in place like a bolt from the blue. It is unexpected that this Han Xiaodie is my mother and you are my mother's former lover?!

At this moment, Xue Luoyun didn't know how to describe her feelings. In the original owner's memory, her mother had died for so many years that she could no longer remember what her mother had looked like. However, she could clearly remember that when she was young, her mother had always looked sad and depressed. So it turns out that behind her back, she was actually enduring so much heartache.

His mother was truly too pitiful. A pair of celestial couple was being separated alive. Other than her, no one else could understand the pain she was feeling. After knowing this story, there were a lot of questions in his mind. No wonder the empress dowager didn't like him. Presumably, one of them was due to his mother as well. Being forced to marry someone you don't like is already very sad, and even died early, really jealous of your beauty.

Wait, why is it that he only told me about this matter after I found the painting? Ever since their first meeting, he had already known of his identity, but he had always kept it a secret. No wonder he was so concerned about her. So it was because of the guilt in his heart?

Xue Ruyun looked at his handsome side view, and it caused people's hearts to ache for him. After all, he was also the victim in this matter.

Previously, he didn't know this story, but now that he found out he was his mother's lover, he felt strange. Especially now that he thought about it, all the concubines in the palace had said that the emperor doted on him. Could they have used him as a substitute for their mother? That was truly terrifying.

"Your Majesty, the past is already past. Don't be too sad. This subject has suddenly recalled that there are some matters in the estate. I'll take my leave first." Xue Ruyun couldn't stay any longer, so he quickly pulled out a reason and ran out as if he were escaping.

"Ah …" Before Mu Zheng could finish his words, he saw Xue Ruyun slip away like a wisp of smoke. He shook his head. From the first time he had met her in the royal garden, he had felt at first sight as if he had seen her at first sight. At that time, he thought it was because of Xiao Die. However, after interacting with her, he discovered that her temperament and the feeling they had when interacting with her was completely different from that of Xiao Die. It was a different feeling, fresh, natural, and interesting.

Xue Luoyun returned to his residence with a complicated feeling in his heart, his mind was a mess of matters between Mu Zheng and his mother. It was no wonder that Mu Sheng had warned her to stay away from the Emperor. Mu Zheng must know quite a lot about the relationship between Mu Zheng and Xiao Die. Could it be that his warning had such a meaning?

Xue Ruyun shook his head. At this moment, his mind was once again reminded of that grave and proud face, that person who would appear whenever something happened to him. He had no idea where that person had gone to.

That night, Mu Zheng finally rushed back from his trip to the northern camp. He did not sleep during the journey and rushed back to the barracks. He stayed there for a few hours before returning. For a full five days. Mu Rong's entire body felt drowsy and extremely sleepy. However, as soon as he returned to the capital, he did not have time to change into a new set of clothes, so he hurried to the Xue Manor.

Mu Rong Zhan quietly went outside of the Rain Pavilion, thinking that Xue Ruoyun should have already rested. Mu Ying spread out his palm and looked at the bottle of hard-won medicine. Then, he carefully placed the bottle in his pocket and jumped over the wall.

It was pitch black inside. The night light in the yard was winding along the river, reflecting on the surface of the water. A wave of sleepiness hit him. Mu Ying pressed his temples, cleared his head, and walked forward.

"Put the medicine in front of her door. We should be able to see it when we wake up tomorrow." Mu Sheng thought.

However, before he could even reach the door to Xue Ruyun's room, he heard a few swishing sounds. A dozen or so sharp arrows suddenly shot out from all directions. Mu Sheng hurriedly pulled out his treasured sword, dodging to the left and right as he headed towards Xu Bu. However, the drowsiness came again and again, causing Mu Sheng to be unable to react. In the process of moving forward, another mechanism was triggered. A black shadow appeared in the sky, and by the time Mu Sheng reacted, a large net had already covered his head.

"Who is it?"

Hearing the noise coming from outside the door, Xue Luoyun hurriedly put on a fox fur coat and walked out while holding the lamp.

At this moment, Mu Sheng was firmly tied up by Xue Ruoyun's net, causing him to struggle more and more. The net tightened, making it useless to struggle for a long time. Thus, Mu Ying could only remain where he was.

Seeing Xue Ruyun slowly approach, Mu Ying felt incomparably embarrassed.

"What song is this today?" Xue Ruyun thought it was the Zhao Family again, so he impatiently asked and slowly raised the lamp to look at that person's appearance.

However, when he clearly saw what he looked like, he was shocked. "You … Why is it you? Why are you here? "

As Xue Ruyun spoke, he quickly put down the lamp in his hand and quickly undid the lock.

"It has been a few days since we last met. Your trap is getting more exquisite and nimble." Mu Ying awkwardly removed the rope from his body and angrily fell to the ground, taunting Xue Luoyun as he changed the topic.

"I'm sorry, it's just a small trick, not worth mentioning." "You are only a famous general in the king's recruitment, and are a strong martial arts expert. How could you be so easily captured with such a small trick?" Xue Muyun crossed his arms in front of his chest and calmly looked at him.
