The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Chapter 989: Old Letter, Whom the Queen Mother Loves

The more Yun Mujiu recalled, the more touched she became, and she continued to talk about the things that were wrong from her perspective.

"Later, at the envoys' palace banquet and the Spring Festival Palace banquet, the Queen Mother did not show any obvious hostility towards me and the Meng family. She did not secretly want to eradicate the Night Palace like the Emperor did."

"Also, I was recently summoned by the Emperor to the palace to treat the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager did not listen to the Emperor's wishes and wanted to accuse me of poor treatment. She even asked the Empress to take me back to her Renshou Palace to stay overnight." Yun Mujiu thought about it again and added: "When I entered the palace, I felt that the Empress Dowager's attitude towards the Emperor seemed to be a little different. I heard that the Emperor always wanted to see the Empress Dowager and pay her respects to her, but the Empress Dowager always refused the Emperor's visit on the pretext of being unwell, is that right?"

"That's right. The Queen Mother rarely wants to meet the Emperor." Ye Xiaohan answered Yun Mujiu's question, and added: "Even the Queen can pay her respects to the Queen Mother more often than the Emperor."

The puzzled look in Yun Mujiu's eyes became clearer and clearer. It was only now that she realized the strange relationship between the Queen Mother and the Emperor...

Before, the original owner was mostly confined to Guanyun Mansion and knew very little about the outside world, let alone royal secrets.

Now, she finally understood - it turned out that Emperor Haolian harmed his own brother to get to the throne, which caused the empress dowager to always have a knot in her heart towards Emperor Haolian, and as a result, she no longer had a very close relationship with Emperor Haolian!

Yun Mujiu and Ye Xiaohan have already added some past events related to the Queen Mother. From Yun Mujiu's narration, Meng Ninglang and others learned about some outstanding events in the royal family.

The Queen Mother had two sons, one of whom was killed by someone, and the other one took the throne cruelly. In the more than 20 years since Ye Yihao was born and died, the Queen Mother had no contact with her former good sister He Qiu.

Like the Queen Mother, He Qiu also had two children, but not two boys, but one boy and one girl.

The eldest son, Meng Shihao, is still alive today, but the other daughter died of complications during childbirth at a young age. He Qiu and the Queen Mother have another thing in common, that is, they both had a child who died at a young age.

Another big difference is that when Queen Mother He Qiubi was about to pass away, her daughter was still alive.

When He Qiu was still alive, he was depressed when he learned that his daughter Meng Wanzhou was pregnant after marrying Phoenix man Yun Boliang. Then, he remembered that Meng Wanzhou was desperate to be with Yun Boliang and even broke off the relationship with her parents. He was depressed and died soon after.

When He Qiu died, the empress dowager in the capital didn't even show any intention of offering condolences.

After Meng Ninglang heard all the news, his expression changed several times, and he was obviously immersed in these sigh-worthy events.

Yun Mujiu and Ye Xiaohan exchanged glances before they looked at Meng Ninglang.

"Ning Lang, tell me what you have found out on your side."

"Okay. Actually, among the clues you and the prince just mentioned, I have also found some of them recently." Meng Ninglang's expression became more serious. "So next I will just talk about the key points. I will talk about the clues that you have not found yet."

Ten days ago, Meng Ninglang received the news from Yun Mujiu and immediately asked his men to take action. More importantly, he lived in the mansion of Duke Meng and was closer to Duke Meng, so he could get some information in a tactful way.

Look, he actually managed to pick up some leaks.

Under the pretext of tidying up the warehouse for Duke Meng, he led his men to reorganize some of the items that Duke Meng had moved back from the southern border.

In several dark red old wooden boxes, Meng Ninglang found many of He Qiu's relics.

He even found a folded letter in the gaps between some objects.

Having said this, Meng Ninglang stood up and carefully took out a small wooden box from his arms.

He slowly opened the wooden box, and then presented it to Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu with both hands.

Yun Mujiu carefully took the wooden box and gently opened the yellowed paper with age.

Even when she lifted the paper, some crumbs fell off, as if if she moved a little more violently, the whole paper would turn into a pile of confetti in her hands.

This is not a complete piece of paper, but just less than half a sheet of paper, but it has also been folded.

Yun Mujiu could vaguely tell that the piece of paper was torn from letter paper. After trying hard to identify it, he saw what was written on the paper.

"You took my...heart away, but we once had a sisterly relationship. I cannot hold you responsible. From now on, you and I are no longer sisters. We are no longer friends."

Signed by: "Ya."

After Yun Mujiu finished reading, he looked at Meng Ninglang.

"The Queen Mother's nickname is 'Ya'. This letter was written by the Queen Mother to my grandmother when the news of my grandmother's first pregnancy was reported back to the capital."

Ye Xiaohan also said: "Among the royal family, only the Queen Mother's nickname is 'Ya', but not many people know this." Meng Ninglang was able to find this out, which showed that he had some skills.

Yun Mujiu held up the letter and squinted to look at it.

It has been so long that the handwriting is a little blurred. What did the Queen Mother write? My grandmother took me away... What was the Queen Mother thinking?

Ye Xiaohan looked up and guessed based on the handwriting and context.

"Took away...my heart for tomorrow..."

"Tomorrow?" Yun Mujiu and others were very puzzled. They didn't understand what the Queen Mother wanted to express.

Meng Ninglang was helpless. "I can't make out what these vague words mean, but I don't dare to show this letter to my grandfather. Just like what you said before, Mu Jiu, it's not good to bring my grandfather back to the past. And I've also tried to find out, but my grandfather doesn't even know the existence of this letter."

Ye Xiaohan pondered for a moment and looked at Meng Ninglang, "Do you know Mr. Meng's nickname?"

Meng Ninglang thought about it, "Originally it was called 'Xu', but later it was changed to take the last character of the name as the nickname."

Both the characters "旭" and "明" contain a "日".

Wei Bai couldn't figure it out. "If that's the case, then the word 'Ming' has nothing to do with the word 'tomorrow' for the day." He thought, "'tomorrow' means the future. Could it be that the Queen Mother meant that Madam He went to the border and took away her hope for the future?"

Ye Xiaohan shook his head, "I don't think so."

He looked at Yun Mujiu and said bluntly: "Sometimes some words are not easy to express directly, so the writer will express them in a euphemistic way to hint at something."

Yun Mujiu realized: "The word 'tomorrow' is not just a time word, but it implies a person."

"That man is - Grandfather."

"The Queen Mother is expressing her regret for her grandfather?!" Yun Mujiu was stunned. Everyone else was also stunned, except Ye Xiaohan, who slightly raised his eyebrows.

Can't love it?

Does love turn into hate?

Love and hate mixed together!
