Origin System, I have a barren mountain

When Liang's mother realized that her husband had finally noticed something was wrong, she quickly reassured him, "She didn't realize anything. I already recognized her. She's too naive. Luckily, she's under control."

Father Liang realized that his daughter-in-law had a way to deal with Cheng Yunmo.

"Here's what I'm thinking: since there's a Cheng Yunmo in both the modern and ancient times, we can't see the modern one yet, so we can't do anything about it. But I don't think the ancient one is a problem."

Liang's father had heard his daughter-in-law mention this Cheng Yunmo from ancient times, and he was indeed not a smart person.

"What do you plan to do with this person?"

As night deepened, inside Cheng Yunmo's palace, a fake palace maid who had been sleeping on the floor suddenly woke up and got up, her eyes looking warily toward the doorway.

Something is wrong!

The fake palace maid hurriedly jumped up from the ground and came to Lord Cheng's bedside. "Lord Cheng, please wake up. I suspect it's someone from the Empress Dowager's faction. I've sent someone to deliver a message to you."

For a moment, Cheng Yunmo's mind went blank.

Then she realized what was happening and glanced at the palace maid. "I understand. Be careful and don't let the Empress Dowager's people find you."

"Yes, Lord Cheng."

The palace maid, Jia, hid herself quietly, and at first glance, she was indeed nowhere to be seen in the palace.

The palace gates were pushed open, and two ornately dressed eunuchs entered, followed by two palace maids, whose clothes were also exceptionally luxurious.

Cheng Yunmo glanced at the two palace maids. For some reason, whenever he saw these two palace maids, he always felt that the Empress Dowager wanted these two palace maids to do something.

The two palace maids were simply too beautiful; one was youthful and radiant, while the other bloomed like a rose, exceptionally gorgeous.

"Lord Cheng, the Empress Dowager has told me to accompany you to see the person you wish to meet."

The eunuch stared at her with a condescending gaze, while simultaneously displaying the waist token bestowed upon him by the Empress Dowager.

Looking at the eunuch's expression, Cheng Yunmo felt that he was a microcosm of everyone around the Empress Dowager. Everyone around the Empress Dowager seemed to have this characteristic: arrogance.

"it is good."

Then, the eunuch waved for someone to come over and blindfold her.

Cheng Yunmo listened to the sounds of the way he walked, and then, after descending countless steps, finally stopped.

When Cheng Yunmo was released, the scene before him seemed like a completely different world.

Everything around me was a dazzling golden color, making all the lights and electrical appliances seem so ordinary.

Even cars, trams, bicycles, and computers like laptops are all perfectly displayed in this basement.

At first, Cheng Yunmo really thought it was a huge amusement park, but she knew in her heart that it wasn't.

This was the first time Cheng Yunmo had seen so many modern items in Xuguo since he came here. Even in modern times, it was very rare to see so many things in such a space.

The eunuchs accompanying the Empress Dowager, seeing Lord Cheng's surprised expression, assumed she was a country bumpkin who had never seen anything like it before.

After all, he and his group had seen this scene countless times, and everyone who saw it felt like they had come to heaven.

So he assumed Cheng Yunmo had never seen her before, and just as he was about to speak, he saw her staring at the distance, showing no surprise. She had come for Mu Wanwan and was not astonished by the scene before her.

"Well, Lord Cheng, you've finally had the chance to visit the Empress Dowager, a place where people are never allowed to enter casually. Don't you want to take a good look around?"

Cheng Yunmo glanced back at the eunuch beside the Empress Dowager. "So, you're quite used to these things?"

The eunuch didn't understand what Lord Cheng meant by that. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded in agreement, "That's right, so what?"

"If you're willing to listen to advice, I suggest you don't come to this place casually. It's not a fun place at all. You think the Empress Dowager trusts you, but have you considered why she built it in such a secure place, preventing anyone from discovering it? It's never seen the sunlight. And look at the people here, do you really think they're all normal?"

As a eunuch with some influence around the Empress Dowager, no one expected that Lord Cheng would suddenly say such a thing.

He instinctively wanted to say a few words on behalf of the Empress Dowager, but he noticed something strange about the people around him when he spoke to Lord Cheng for some reason.

He hadn't noticed anything wrong with these people before, but under the light, when he realized that what Lord Cheng said made sense, he observed them closely and noticed that their complexions were very unpleasant.

Their eyes looked as if they were experiencing immense terror. What were these people afraid of?

Cheng Yunmo had only sensed something was off about this place he had never been to before.

However, when Cheng Yunmo paid close attention to the appearance of these people, he sensed a special aura emanating from them.

This peculiar aura was reminiscent of the ministers promoted by the emperor that she had previously mentioned to Lord Liu.

The aura emanating from those ministers seemed somewhat similar to theirs.

They have many similarities, but he is clearly the emperor's man, so why is he being imprisoned in such a place?

Although they don't look much different, you can really feel that they are being controlled to the point that they can't even think for themselves.

These people all stared at her, the newcomer, with blank looks, as if they were already used to it.

Cheng Yunmo's attention eventually fell on Mu Wanwan.

No one knows what Mu Wanwan has suffered over the years, but in this basement, she still seems to have absolute freedom.

The eunuch and the two palace maids who were with them stood not far away for some reason, and did not seem to be planning to eavesdrop on their conversation.

Cheng Yunmo only glanced back. Although he had some doubts, he didn't think much of it and just looked at Mu Wanwan, whom he was meeting for the first time.

"His Majesty showed me your portrait, Mu Wanwan. Would you be willing to come with me to the basement?"

Mu Wanwan stared intently at Cheng Yunmo, lost in thought. After a while, she slowly spoke, "You are not a living person."

Cheng Yunmo nodded, not denying the matter.

"I'm willing to go out with you, but are you willing to give back the position you now have so easily attained?"

Cheng Yunmo never expected that Mu Wanwan's words would actually be a request to return her identity to her, asking what her relationship was with the Emperor.

It doesn't seem so. Did Mu Wanwan misunderstand something?
