The Regent's Little Wife

He thought quickly, in the previous life, his father and uncle always lived to the end. So who was he going to save with this? It was him, Gu Qing.

Did she ask for this reward on purpose today? In the previous life, Gu Qing was indeed ordered to be killed by the emperor. It was too late to save him at that time. Apart from Gu Qing, he could not think of another person.

He had known Sang Ning for several months and knew her character very well. Sang Ning would never do useless things. If she made a choice, it must be for a purpose.

But why did she do this? What did she want to get? I thought she was just obsessed with money, so why was she also interested in people? And from her eyes, the emperor's eyes were clearly looking at an enemy. He wanted to tear the emperor to pieces.

There was no hatred between her and the emperor. At this time, a maid brought tea and snacks.

The young palace maid accidentally spilled tea on Sang Ning.

The little maid was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground and said, "This servant deserves death, this servant deserves death..."

Shen Huaian, I didn't expect such a farce. The maids in Xuanzheng Hall were all trained, but they made such a low-level mistake. This is really a disgrace to the royal family.

Shen Huaian slapped the table and said in a low voice, "Someone take this maid away and give her 20 strokes of the cane, and send the Regent Princess to the Imperial Concubine's bedroom to change clothes."

At this time, the little palace maid took Sang Ning downstairs to change clothes. Sang Ning was not familiar with the palace, but she felt that she had been walking around the palace for a long time.

Suddenly, the maid slipped into a courtyard and disappeared. Sang Ning knew that this must be the Queen's doing. He had no choice but to wander around because he couldn't find the way back.

As she walked, she came to a very remote place. The ground was covered with maple leaves within a radius of one kilometer. No palace servants came to clean it. She continued to walk forward and came to a palace. It was written on the palace, Jinghuan Palace. She was about to leave when she heard the palace door creak open.

A middle-aged woman came out of the palace gate. She was about 40 years old, wearing a plain dress and a veil. Although she was middle-aged, it could be seen that she was a very beautiful woman when she was young.

The woman was very surprised to see Sang Ning. How could someone go to the cold palace? She looked at Sang Ning and saw that she was dressed like a royal aristocrat. She should be a royal concubine or a princess.

She smiled slightly, bowed slightly and said, "Excuse me, who are you, young lady? Why did you come to my Jinghuan Palace?"

Sang Ning, she had no impression of this woman, and there was no introduction to her in the book.

So she said, "It's like this, I'm the princess consort of the regent. Today my father summoned us to the palace, but the maid accidentally spilled tea on my clothes, so she was going to take me to the imperial concubine's palace to change clothes, but I got separated from the maid, and I couldn't find her, so I wandered around and ended up here."

When Sang Ning said the three words "Regent", the woman looked very surprised.

"You said you were Yan'er... the regent's princess..." The middle-aged woman was trembling as she spoke.

Sang Ning felt a little strange. She didn't know why the woman had such a strange expression, so she nodded.

The middle-aged woman suddenly closed her eyes, put her hands together, and said to the sky, "The heaven has eyes."

Sang Ning immediately felt that the middle-aged woman in front of him must be no ordinary person and must have some relationship with the Regent.

She asked slowly, "Excuse me, what is your relationship with our prince?"

The middle-aged woman finally recovered. She smiled at Sang Ning, sized him up and said, "Princess... let's go in and talk. I happen to have some clothes in my palace that would suit you."

Sang Ning saw that the middle-aged woman was also very affectionate, and she felt that she had no bad intentions, so she wanted to find out what the relationship between this middle-aged woman and the prince was. So she nodded and went into the palace with the middle-aged woman.

Entering the palace, I saw a little maidservant beside the middle-aged woman. She asked the little maidservant to boil a pot of water and make some tea for the guest. The little maidservant agreed and left.

Sang Ning looked inside the house. Although the outside looked very desolate and shabby, and there were even crows calling, she didn't expect that the inside of the house was not shabby at all and looked very warm.

"Excuse me, who are you? Can you tell me now?" Sang Ning had to confirm who the other person was.

The middle-aged woman sighed slightly and said, "Child... I am Shen Yan's biological mother."

What did Sang Ning hear? She was Shen Yan's mother. Didn't Shen Yan's mother die a long time ago? I didn't expect that she was still alive. And why was she in the palace?

"You are Hua Raoyue... the princess of the dragon clan..." Sang Ning remembered that the original book gave a brief introduction to Shen Yan's biological mother.

She was a princess of a different race, the Dragon Clan. Later, she married Shen Yan's father, and they lived in harmony. But later, for some reason, his mother disappeared. Some people said that his mother had passed away, but some people said that his mother had left. In the end, there was no record in the book.

Hua Raoyue nodded and said, "Yes, I am the Moon Princess."

Sang Ning quickly stood up and knelt down before Hua Raoyue. "Daughter-in-law greets mother."

Hua Raoyue immediately stood up, helped Sang Ning up, and said, "My child... there is no need to perform such a grand ceremony. Everyone in the world thinks I am dead. If you want to address me, just call me Princess Yue."

"Okay, Princess Yue..." Sang Ning immediately changed her tone.

At this time, the maid had boiled water and brewed a pot of tea for Sang Ning. Princess Yue told the maid to stay outside and report anything first. The maid nodded and went out to guard the door.

"Princess Yue... I didn't expect you to be still alive. Why are you in the harem?" Sang Ning wondered what was going on. She didn't expect that when she entered the palace today, she would meet the prince's biological mother. Damn queen, you never thought that you wanted to embarrass me, but in the end, God had eyes and let me meet the prince's biological mother.

"Princess... you may not know what happened back then. The death of Yan'er's father was actually related to the current emperor. It was his younger brother who killed his older brother. So the Prince Yu of that year, who is now the emperor, took the throne naturally..."

"When Yan'er's father passed away, I was pregnant with Yan'er... For Yan'er's sake, I had no choice but to stay in the harem. After Yan'er was one month old, his uncle took him away and raised him under his own wings. He claimed that he was his own son."

"So Shen Huaian... imprisoned me in the harem, saying that as long as I stayed in the harem and didn't escape, he would ensure that my son would have a worry-free life, and he also issued an edict to appoint Yan'er as regent. Five years ago, I heard from Emperor An that he married the daughter of the Grand Tutor to my son. On the day of my son's wedding, I went to see him from afar. And I haven't seen my son since. I didn't expect to meet you today. This is really God's will!"

She started crying as she spoke. "I thought I would have a happy marriage, but I didn't expect it to be so short-lived. Just because I was so outstanding, I didn't expect to be favored by his brother."
