The ugly girl's nirvana, the disabled prince's love

It turns out that my adoptive father deeply loves my mother.

The parents of my adoptive father and my mother were old friends, and they had been childhood sweethearts. After my mother came of age, my adoptive father was ready to propose marriage, but at this time, the two families encountered unexpected changes, and they were accused of colluding with foreign enemies and intending to rebel.

The two families had no chance to appeal, and all their members were detained and sentenced to be beheaded three days later.

At this critical moment, a coup d'état broke out in the palace, the emperor passed away, and the crown prince Yu Mingke succeeded to the throne. The day after he ascended the throne, the crown prince went to visit his mother in prison. It turned out that they had been friendly playmates since childhood.

My mother thought that her charges could be cleared, but she didn't expect that the prince had already loved her and wanted to marry her as his concubine. If she didn't agree, she would be killed along with her entire clan.

Her mother had no choice but to agree, and the Shangguan and Lin families were secretly sent out of the capital after she married the emperor.

After leaving the city, the adoptive father did not see his mother, and only then did he know that she had married the emperor. He was about to break into the palace with a sword, but then his father handed him a letter from his mother, telling him not to be impulsive.

The content of the letter is extremely brief:

Brother Hao, forget about Xue'er, and don't blame yourself. There are hundreds of lives in the two mansions, and Xue'er can't just watch them be beheaded.

Don't go to the palace to ask for an explanation. If you come, everyone will die together. Don't let Xue'er down. Lin Ruoxue's last words.

After that, my adoptive father and my mother never met again, and he never married. In order to protect my mother, my adoptive father also established the "Dark Night Pavilion" in the capital, and wore a silver mask so that no one could see his true face.

My mother married my father, the emperor, who doted on her at first, but because she was the daughter of a criminal, she was only given the title of Imperial Noble Consort. However, the family of Empress Sun's mother was extremely powerful and had absolute control over the palace.

Later, my mother went through numerous hardships to give birth to my brother, but Empress Sun secretly poisoned him, and my brother died before he was two years old. My mother's mental and physical condition deteriorated, and my father was extremely anxious and spared no expense to find a doctor.

My adoptive father asked Yi Xiaoshan, the master of Medicine King Valley, to treat my mother's illness, and also asked Die Ying, a killer from the Dark Night Pavilion, to stay by my mother's side as a disciple of Medicine King Valley, who is now Nanny Li.

After the death of his elder brother, his father ordered the Dali Temple to conduct a thorough investigation, but due to interference from various parties, the case was left unsolved. His mother, in grief over the loss of her son, avoided his father, and he turned to the Empress.

Three years later, the queen gave birth to a son, Yu Gongchen, who was named the crown prince. She later gave birth to the third prince and the seventh princess.

Afterwards, my father married Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Jing, but their children unfortunately died young.

Although my father loved my mother, she became seriously ill after my brother died, which made it difficult for her to conceive again. It was not until five years after my brother died that I was born.

Afterwards, in order to protect himself, his mother was very cautious in the palace and taught him not to show off his talents, so he pretended to be a useless prince.

Days like this passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, thirteen years had passed. That night, he and his attendants quietly left the palace and found his adoptive father, who was seriously injured and unconscious, in the dark river behind the Yuelai Theater. Looking at his adoptive father in his nightgown, he knew that he was not an ordinary citizen.

In order to avoid exposing his adoptive father's identity, he quietly sent him to a barefoot doctor in the suburbs, and his adoptive father luckily survived.

It was also on that night that his adoptive father learned of his identity as a prince. But his adoptive father pretended to be ignorant and only said: "As a man, you must protect the people you care about."

At that time, the only person he cared about was his mother. So from then on, Shanggong Hao became his adoptive father and taught him martial arts. He knew that practicing martial arts was difficult, but in order to protect his mother, he gritted his teeth and persisted.

Along the way, the right and wrong, power struggles in the palace made him understand the difficulty of survival early on, and also made him more determined to protect his mother.

In order to practice martial arts, he secretly left the palace before dawn every day. In the eyes of the public, he was a useless prince and no one paid much attention to him, which created convenient conditions for him to practice martial arts.

His adoptive father was very strict with him. He had to get up before dawn every day and do horse stance for two hours. If he slacked off, he would be severely punished by his adoptive father. Even though it was so hard, he never thought of giving up. Instead, he trained harder and harder. Day after day, his kung fu improved rapidly.

Three years later, his kung fu was comparable to that of his adoptive father. His adoptive father was very pleased and decided to pass on the position of Pavilion Master to him, and at the same time gave him the name Ye Mingyuan. At that time, he firmly refused, thinking that his adoptive father was in his prime and he had no intention of taking over. But his adoptive father said that he wanted to travel around the world and live a carefree life. Although he had doubts in his heart, he finally accepted his adoptive father's decision.

Later he found out that it was the prince's men who had targeted his adoptive father. His adoptive father knew that he could not escape this disaster, so he let him take over the position of Pavilion Master in advance to help him consolidate his position while his adoptive father was still alive.

Since then, he has shouldered the heavy responsibility of the Dark Night Pavilion and has come to understand his adoptive father's painstaking efforts more deeply.

He suddenly remembered the dagger his adoptive father had given him before he died. His adoptive father had repeatedly told him to keep it safe, saying that whether his mother could enjoy her old age depended on it. He always carried it with him and never left it. On the night of the assassination, he took it out to scare the woman so that she wouldn't make a sound.

Now, it has been more than a month since the dagger was lost, and even if everyone in the Dark Night Pavilion was sent to search for it, there was still no clue. The dagger was extremely exquisitely made, and if it was taken to a pawnshop, it would definitely be exchanged for a lot of silver. He even sent people to keep a close eye on the pawnshop, but still found nothing.

He couldn't help but think of the small and exquisite cylindrical capsule again, and his thoughts drifted away involuntarily. As he thought about it, the face of his sister-in-law with a veil suddenly appeared in his mind without warning. Under the veil, it seemed that there was endless mystery, which made people want to peek. Only the eyes, the occasional expression, were full of elusive depth.

The more he wanted to see his sister-in-law's face clearly, the more the hazy veil blurred his vision, making him more curious about the mystery of his sister-in-law.

Could she be the woman who saved him? Why did she have such a strange expression when she saw him today? She was so smart, could she have connected him with Ye Mingyuan through his eyes?

That day in Lanyue Tower, after she and Miss Liu left, he was worried that Yu Gongxuan's men would catch up with them, so he asked Huanying to follow them secretly. After they took Ge'er and her mother away, Huanying learned about what his sister-in-law had done from Ge'er's father Dali.

She is good at martial arts and medicine, but why does she refuse to admit it in front of him? No matter whether he is Ye Mingyuan or Yu Gongyu.

The Imperial Concubine beside her also fell into deep thought. After an unknown amount of time, when she focused on the present again, she found that Umiya Tama was in a daze.

So he called softly: "Yu'er! Yu'er! What are you thinking about?"

Yu Gongyu was full of doubts when his mother suddenly asked him. He paused for a long time before he came to his senses. He didn't want to tell his mother the truth, so he said hurriedly: "I was just wondering why my sister-in-law reminded you, and I was a little worried."
