Thrown Into the Wolf’s Den! Zaizai Holds Space In His Hands To Survive the Disaster Year

Shen Ningning lowered her little body and called out sweetly, "Hello, Concubine Rong."

Concubine Rong bent her eyes and smiled elegantly and softly: "You are so good."

The eldest aunt next to her stepped forward and said respectfully: "My Lady, it's getting late. If you don't go to worship the Buddha, I'm afraid it will be late."

Only then did Concubine Rong come back to her senses and looked at Mo Lingwei apologetically: "Your Highness, I still have something to do, so I will leave first."

Mo Lingwei nodded lightly.

He has no joy or anger towards Concubine Rong, so he won't be particularly interested in her.

Concubine Rong said goodbye to Shen Ningning before leaving in a sedan chair.

After she left, Shen Ningning asked Mo Lingwei curiously: "Brother, why does Concubine Rong want to worship Buddha?"

"Concubine Rong is a Buddhist. On the first and fifteenth day of every month, she must fast for three days and recite Buddhist scriptures to show her sincerity."

In the early years, Concubine Rong would chant sutras to pray for Mo Lingwei's health, and the emperor often praised her for her kindness.

But it soon aroused the jealousy of Concubine Li. Concubine Rong was framed several times and suffered a lot, so later she would still pray for the emperor and Mo Lingwei, but she only dared to do so quietly.

Now Li Fei is imprisoned in the palace and loses the right to control the Sixth Palace.

Concubine Rong finally no longer had to covertly recite Buddha's name.

Arrive at Zichen Palace.

Mo Lingwei brought a scroll and unfolded it, revealing Juanxiu's regular small regular script on it.

Shen Ningning opened her watery eyes, looked over seriously, and found that it was the knowledge that the mad scholar had taught her.

"Brother, what is this?"

"My mother once participated in a question set by the Chinese Academy of Sciences before she was alive. The three questions on this scroll are the contents of the Chinese Academy of Sciences' entrance examination ten years ago. You can take a look. It may be helpful to you."

Shen Ningning was flattered. She stretched out her hand in surprise and was about to take it.

She suddenly remembered something, quickly retracted her hand and covered her big eyes.

"No, no, I can't read!" Her voice was soft and soft, revealing the innocence of a child: "If there is a similar question this time, wouldn't I be cheating?"

Shen Ningning shook her head, her little body swaying.

"I can't watch it. I promised the mad master that I would be admitted to the Chinese Academy of Sciences on my own merit."

Mo Lingwei laughed: "The questions asked ten years ago are already different from those now, so it doesn't hurt to take a look."

He went to grab Shen Ningning's little hand, but the little guy turned his back.

She shook her little head firmly: "No, no, brother, we'd better eat!"

When Mo Lingwei saw her like this, he laughed loudly.

"That's all, just don't read it if you don't want to. It would be in vain for me to search the entire Zichen Palace just to find this scroll."

After hearing this, Shen Ningning turned her body slightly, her hands still covering her eyes, but her fingers spread apart, leaving two gaps.

A pair of big black eyes looked at Mo Lingwei with gratitude.

"Thank you, brother, but I can't watch it. However, I can ask my brother's mother to bless me and get admitted to the Chinese Academy of Sciences."

As he spoke, the little guy closed his eyes, turned around, and clasped his hands together.

She said to the scroll: "Empress, my name is Shen Ningning. Please protect me and ensure that I pass the exam."

Mo Lingwei leaned lazily on the soft cushions. Seeing this, a faint smile bloomed on his thin lips.

He thought of something, and the look in his eyes followed his memory to the distant time.

"Shen Ningning," Mo Lingwei said calmly: "Do you know how my mother died?"

The little guy shook his head.

The queen's death was a taboo in the palace, and the palace officials involved were all executed secretly by the emperor.

There are only a few people who still know the truth of the matter.

Mo Lingwei was one of them.

He lowered his eyes, dark eyelashes covering a shadow under his eyelids.

"She burned herself alive."

Shen Ningning was shocked: "What?"

"It sounds surprising, isn't it? But it's true, she did it for me. When I was born, my father had a dream, and the karmic fire from the eighteenth level of hell swept across and burned the entire Cangyun Kingdom to the ground. Therefore, since I was born, , it symbolizes ominousness, and for many years, the father, the emperor, and the queen have been troubled."

Mo Lingwei's tone was calm, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

He raised his face sideways, his eyes dark: "Concubine Li met a famous half-immortal from somewhere that year, and she dedicated him to my mother in private."

"The half-immortal told my mother that as long as she was willing to bear the pain of burning her body, the strange cold illness on my body could be cured. At that time, I was very ill and the cold illness occurred almost every day. My mother was willing to give it a try for my sake. "

"Concubine Li locked the palace door. She lied to my mother, saying that the fire would only ignite for a moment, and she would bring people in to put out the fire. However, when my mother screamed in the fire, Concubine Li went to stop the fire. Serve in the study and take care of my father during his lunch break."

"When I heard the news, my mother had already been buried in the sea of ​​fire and turned into a charred corpse beyond recognition."

Shen Ningning was frightened when she heard this, and her face turned pale.

It turns out that Mo Lingwei's past was so painful, no wonder he couldn't let it go.

He played with the scroll written by the queen during her lifetime: "Do you think my mother is stupid? She actually believed the clumsy deception that the half-immortal conspired with Li Fei, but I know that she is not stupid."

"Just because she became a mother, she was willing to try any impossible thing in the world for me and endure the pain of burning skin. She just wanted me to be healthy and happy like a normal person."

"But Concubine Li killed her, and the father also failed her."

Shen Ningning's soft voice was filled with hatred: "Why doesn't Uncle Emperor punish Concubine Li? She is so bad!"

Mo Lingwei sneered: "He didn't believe that Concubine Li would use such a bizarre reason to trick my mother into self-immolation, because at the beginning, Concubine Li was a beauty presented to me by my uncle, and she was considered one of my own."

The family to which the queen belongs has a very important position in Cangyun. It has produced nine prime ministers, seven queens, and countless princes and princes.

After the queen entered the palace, she fell in love with the emperor. It was a time of deep affection for the young couple.

But unexpectedly, the queen suddenly fell into a strange illness.

At such a moment, the family was afraid that its power would be unstable, so it sent the beautiful concubine Li into the palace to consolidate the power of the harem.

As soon as Li Fei entered the palace, she won the emperor's favor with her graceful figure.

The queen's health also improved miraculously. For a while, the emperor thought that the arrival of Concubine Li had brought blessings to the queen.

It was probably the most difficult time for the Queen at that time, so later there were rumors that she would not hesitate to use magic to seek a son in order to compete with Concubine Li.

"Father refuses to destroy Concubine Li, so I can only punish my uncle in my own way."

When Mo Lingwei said this, his eyes were dark and cold: "He is the mother's brother. How could he send a farewell woman to her husband's pillow when she was seriously ill and needed care the most?"

Shen Ningning nodded: "My brother's uncle is too much. We should break up the relationship for five years, no, ten years!"

Mo Lingwei smiled: "It doesn't matter, their family is all dead."

Shen Ningning blinked her big eyes, and Mo Lingwei immediately calmed down and said, "Let's stay for the royal meal at noon and leave before leaving."

As soon as he finished speaking, the eunuch came in and said, "Your Highness, it's time for you to drink medicine."

Before she even got close, Shen Ningning smelled an extremely pungent bitter smell.
