In the years of famine, I was well versed in history and pampered the Northern Army

After the meal, Chu Qingyin was so full that he lay on the bed bored. He didn't know what his mother and grandfather were planning, but he felt very safe just by following their arrangements.

Thinking about how she lost her grandfather this year and her uncle was not around, she had become accustomed to being independent. It felt so good to have someone to rely on wholeheartedly.

But at this time, Yue Rou appeared in front of Chu Qingyin.

"Miss, if you lie down directly after eating, I'm afraid you will get indigestion."

The maidservant beside her was a pretty girl from a small family, and her appearance was very elegant. One could tell at a glance that she was carefully selected for her by her mother. Although she had not known her for a long time, Chu Qingyin still respected her very much in her heart.

Although the little girl in front of me is not very old and looks about the same age as me, she is really nagging.

"Okay, okay, I'll stand up and walk around, that's all."

As Chu Qingyin was leaving, Yue Rou seemed to sense that the young lady didn't like her very much, so she deliberately brought up some topics that the young lady might like:

"Miss, don't be fooled by the fact that the Xu family seems peaceful now, but in the past, there was a lot of bloodshed."

Chu Qingyin suddenly thought that if anyone had stayed here the longest, it would naturally be her mother. Her grandfather had only stayed here for a whole year, not to mention her uncle, who had probably stayed for less than half a year.

But now the Xu family really gives people the feeling that they are as stable as a mountain and have a very high status in the capital, and no one dares to come.

This made her feel incredible.

"What happened once upon a time?"

This topic really piqued Chu Qingyin's interest. He sat up from the bed with a start, then stood in front of Yue Rou and started to act coquettishly.

"Good sister, just tell me about it."

In fact, the lady had originally instructed to tell Chu Qingyin these things, but she didn't expect her master to act like a spoiled child to her like this. She was a little uncomfortable for a moment, so she quickly retreated, bowed to Chu Qingyin, and then began to speak slowly:

"It's said that the Xu family didn't even exist in the beginning. It was just that when the emperor was in power, there was a period of time when he was particularly obsessed with ghosts and gods, so he began to recruit people with the legendary psychic skills on a large scale."

Chu Qingyin had heard a little about this matter. If the current emperor had not done so, Lu Yan would not have been exiled to the frontier, and her mother would not have become a woman of such status.

"This art of spiritual communication is both difficult and simple. I wasn't born at the time, but it's so mysterious that it's still passed down through word of mouth. At the time, there were already three princes in the palace. Legend has it that on a stormy night, a dusty woman appeared, wearing strange clothes."

After hearing this, Chu Qingyin had some feeling that this woman was most likely her mother.

"Although he looks strange, dusty, and very ordinary, even a woman, I didn't expect him to be so powerful."

This once again piqued Chu Qingyin's curiosity:

"How do you become so powerful?"

"When this woman appeared, the palace rules were at their strictest. Not a single guard saw how she appeared in the palace, not only in the palace, but even in the imperial concubine's bedroom."

Chu Qingyin was not puzzled by this. Her mother was able to make such a jade bracelet for her, so she might also have the ability to teleport anytime and anywhere. When she was teleported to Prince Jing's Mansion, the people in Prince Jing's Mansion must have felt that she was a monster fallen from the sky.

"Although we all know that our current Master Xu, our master, is very capable, he was indeed a prominent figure at the time, not to mention that the Imperial Concubine was pregnant with a girl. That night was a thunderstorm, and the Emperor slept with the Imperial Concubine.

"But this woman suddenly appeared in the palace, unarmed, and told the imperial concubine that the child in her belly would definitely not be saved. However, the child in the imperial concubine's belly was almost full-term. If she really couldn't save the baby, I'm afraid the imperial concubine would not even have the strength to bear children, and her qi and blood would be greatly depleted, and her body would be seriously damaged.

"At first, the Imperial Concubine naturally wanted to drag the Imperial Preceptor out and execute him, but the current Emperor places great faith in the theories of ghosts and gods, and would rather believe in such things than not believe them. This is why our Madam appeared there with such confidence. She told us how to break the spell."

Chu Qingyin was curious. She hadn't heard that the imperial concubine had given birth to a baby girl. This meant that the solution her mother had given her was either not used or was ineffective.

Now that his mother was staying here safely, it naturally meant that his method of cracking the problem had not been used.

"Back then, the Imperial Concubine naturally hoped that her son could become the Crown Prince. At that time, her son had already been appointed the Crown Prince. Although no one in the court was willing to do so, the Imperial Concubine was powerful and the Emperor was bewitched.

"So the solution that Master Xu had suggested back then was to establish Lu Yan as the Crown Prince. This would not only ensure the safe birth of the Imperial Concubine's daughter, but also ensure Yunjin's prosperity. Although His Majesty believed it, the Imperial Concubine didn't believe him and he kept trying to persuade her. So this so-called solution was abandoned.

"Naturally, the Imperial Concubine didn't believe in these stories of ghosts and gods, so she became a miracle doctor, using all kinds of medicines to keep the baby alive every day. All the miracle doctors said that the girl in her belly would be very healthy, but she didn't expect that on the day of her birth, strange phenomena would appear in the sky."

"Are there really strange phenomena falling from the sky? I used to think they were just TV dramas."

Chu Qingyin was really confused.

"Of course. That day, the entire Imperial Concubine's bedroom was filled with crows. They clearly didn't say the baby was large, but the Imperial Concubine had a difficult birth. Normally, the baby's heartbeat was intact, but it was born stillborn."

Listening to this story was like watching a horror movie. Chu Qingyin couldn't close her mouth for a long time.

"And from that point on, the Imperial Concubine could no longer bear children. His Majesty was now certain that Dr. Xu was capable. He consulted Dr. Xu on many matters afterwards. Even to this day, His Majesty has probably consulted Dr. Xu on no fewer than a hundred political matters, and the Imperial Preceptor has never failed to predict a single one."

Chu Qingyin felt really amazed. She didn't expect her mother to be so capable, but when she appeared in front of her, she looked like an ordinary mother.

But then she thought, how could a woman who could make such a jade bracelet for her be ordinary?
