Chapter 107: Saving the Crazy Mistress in Sheep's Clothing
Chapter 107: Saving the Crazy Mistress in Sheep's Clothing
Fortunately, after a night, what Ling Han was worried about did not happen.
The next morning, Wen Yang had just gotten up and washed up when the servants in the mansion brought her a message saying that Nanny Qiu Jin from the palace had come and wanted to invite her into the palace for a chat, saying that the Emperor and the Empress missed her.
Upon learning of this, Wen Yang did not delay and immediately got on the palace carriage and entered the palace with Nanny Qiu Jin.
In her impression, her father, the emperor, and her mother, the queen, treated her very well and never interfered with the people and things she wanted to do. Even when she asked for something as outrageous as setting up a princess's mansion in advance to keep a concubine, they never stopped her.
However, her father passed away later, and her mother went to a temple in the mountains to worship Buddha and no longer cared about worldly affairs. She also fell from being a princess who was pampered in the palm of her hand to a prisoner in the dark who could never see the light of day.
Wen Yang could extract a deep sense of regret from the original owner's memories. If she hadn't insisted on marrying Song Yizhi, she wouldn't have given him the opportunity to act like a demon. When Song Yizhi allowed a maid who looked like her to act as if she were her, it was the main reason for the Emperor Ling's rage and death...
Thinking of this, a deep chill appeared in Wen Yang's eyes as he sat in the carriage.
Soon, the carriage arrived at the palace gate.
Nanny Qiu Jin did not take Wen Yang to the Queen's bedroom, but brought Wen Yang to the Imperial Garden.
It was early autumn now, and the branches and leaves in the imperial garden had begun to turn slightly yellow and wither, falling onto the cobblestone road. They made a crackling sound when stepped on, which gave a slightly bleak feeling.
Wen Yang saw the familiar face in his memory from afar. The Queen was wearing a crimson-purple phoenix robe with a phoenix embroidered with gold thread on the robe, spreading its wings as if ready to fly. She looked extremely luxurious.
Wen Yang raised a bright smile on his face and called out affectionately, "Mother!" Then he trotted towards the purple figure.
Hearing the sound, the Queen raised her head, a faint smile on her lips, and warned: "Be careful, don't fall."
Wen Yang ran to the Mausoleum Queen, put his arm around her, and said in a gentle voice, "Your son has missed you so much."
The Mausoleum Queen saw Wen Yang acting like a spoiled child, smiled, scratched the tip of Wen Yang's nose, and said with a hint of resentment: "You didn't even come to the palace on your own initiative, and your mother had to send Nanny Qiu Jin to invite you personally."
Wen Yang stuck out his tongue and said rather embarrassedly: "My son has been busy recently..."
After hearing Wen Yang's explanation, the Mausoleum Queen smiled and continued, "Ayang, you must go to the Yangxin Palace to accompany your father. He has been talking to me about you a lot lately. He said that when you lived in the palace before, you would take time to visit him every day, but now that you have moved out of the palace, you haven't come for several days."
Hearing this, Wen Yang felt a little guilty for the original owner, so she said, "My Queen Mother is telling me that I will go visit my father and have lunch with him."
Although she had only been here for a short time, since she had inherited the original owner's memory and body, she felt that she should treat the original owner's family well.
From what I recall, Emperor Ling has always been in poor health. He's only in his forties, but he already looks a bit old. I'm afraid he has a hidden illness...
Wen Yang also thought at this moment that if she wanted to live safely and freely in this world, she had to ensure that her father lived as long as possible. At the same time, she should also find a way to clean up her image. Otherwise, it would be possible for someone with ulterior motives to use her to make trouble later...
What if my father's fate is a predetermined and unchangeable fact? Then my mother will still be so heartbroken that she will choose to enter the temple to worship Buddha. The heir to the throne will most likely be her second brother... After all, her father didn't have many children...
Her brother, the Crown Prince, who was born to the same mother, had died young due to illness. The Third Prince's mother was of low status and her own abilities were too limited to shoulder the heavy responsibility. Although the Fourth Prince was born to Concubine De, he was still too young to challenge for the throne. Only the Second Prince, who had been raised by the Empress since childhood, was fit to ascend the throne and become the new Emperor.
Her father could tolerate many of her behaviors, but she knew very well that if someone reported this to her second brother, he would not protect her as much as her father did.
Thinking of this, Wen Yang raised his eyes and asked, "Mother, where is my second brother now?"
The Mausoleum Queen was a bit surprised when Wen Yang mentioned the Second Prince, Wen Fengye. After a moment's thought, she said, "Last month, there were frequent floods in the south. Your father sent him on an inspection tour. He probably won't be back until the autumn hunting season."
When Wen Yang heard the words "Autumn Hunt", his heart trembled and painful memories came flooding back.
The original owner fell in love with Song Yi at first sight during the autumn hunting.
Wen Yang searched carefully in the original owner's memory and found that many of Song Yizi's behaviors at that time seemed very deliberate. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was actively seducing the original owner.
And after they got married, he actually attributed all the mistakes to her taking the initiative to ask for the emperor's permission to marry her.
This irresponsible man finally locked her up in such a dark place and let her die...
Thinking of this, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Wen Yang's eyes.
The original owner died at the hands of Song Yizi in her previous life, so in this life, Song Yizi must also die at her hands, which would be fair!
