Dressed as a villain's stepmother, I use spiritual springs to raise cubs

The backyard of Jinshang Pavilion.

Xia Bai'an stepped into the warm room in a large black robe.

Wearing only a thin coat, Miao Linlang was sitting next to the warm basin to keep warm. She obviously just woke up from her sleep, and she looked at Xia Bai'an with puzzled eyes.

"What did you come to me at night for?"

"Don't worry, I've already told Mo Che that I came here because of an accident in your warehouse, and he won't trouble you."

Xia Bai'an took off the black robe on his shoulders, threw it on the shelf next to him, and sat down in front of Miao Linlang: "I came here today, I want to ask you if you know anything about the palace, or what happened five years ago to July Years ago, did you hear any rumors in the palace?"

Miao Linlang is much older than Xia Bai'an. Seven years ago, she was probably in her 20s, so she must know more things.

Miao Linlang was a little dazed: "Why do you suddenly want to inquire about what happened in the palace a few years ago? You know, I haven't dealt with anyone in the court yet."

"After all, you relied on the cruise ship gambling house to gain a firm foothold before. Dealing with the government should be the condition of the cruise ship gambling shop?" Xia Bai'an asked tentatively.

After all, at the very beginning, the Miao Linlang she knew was just a small boss who was trying to gain power.

But after getting to know each other for a long time, she found that Miao Linlang's contacts were far wider than she imagined, and judging from the frequency of Jinshang Pavilion's business with some court officials and female relatives, it was not difficult to cling to the powerful and the court.

But she never had frequent contacts with officials and women, just doing business.

But who does business, who doesn't want to climb up.

So Xia Bai'an boldly guessed that she might have some concerns.

Sure enough, as soon as Miao Linlang heard her analysis, her complexion sank, and her sleepy eyes instantly became clear, but she just added some charcoal to the warm basin.

"Indeed. Cruise ship casinos are not serious people. The business behind them... I don't need to say more. But you have pierced the window paper to this extent, it seems that you really want to know the secrets of the palace a few years ago .”

"Well, I'd love to know."

This is about what Mo Che might do in the future.

Since this time, the space inherited from her previous life began to shrink, requiring her to continuously feed in plants and vitality.

Moreover, she has less and less grasp of the details in the previous book.

Those details seemed to be shattered and thrown into the depths of memory. They were scattered, gradually making her unable to see the way forward.

And Mo Che's concealment became a thorn in her heart.

Unpredictable, unknowable.The fear of the unknown hovered in her mind almost all the time.

Especially today in the palace.

When Mo Che frankly stated that he was willing to use Ling Chi as a guarantee, the fear in her heart reached its peak.

Mo Che is not afraid of death.

People who are not even afraid of death, what crazy things will they do in the future?In other words, he may be the same as the track in the book, pulling out all the thorns in his eyes almost self-destructively, causing blood to flow into rivers, and then he will always be cut down by the hero who is like the messenger of justice.

Even though she didn't know how important Mo Che was to her, at least she didn't want to see him repeat the same mistakes.

Miao Linlang saw clearly the rare fear in her eyes, and when she was surprised, she burst out laughing.

"Then let me ask one more question, is this matter related to Mo Che?"

"Well, how do you know?" Xia Bai'an was taken aback.

"It's too obvious. I really don't know where Mo Che got such good luck to marry a woman like you. He is smart and can make money, and now he is helping him investigate things in the palace."

"..."

I don't want to marry him either.

Isn't it a foregone conclusion when I come here?

Xia Bai'an complained in his heart, and quickly brought the topic back on track.

"It seems that you know the secrets in the palace, or the rumors at the beginning. The thing I want to ask is about a concubine named Concubine Shu. I don't know you..."

"Concubine Shu!"

Miao Linlang almost cried out in shock. She shook her hand, and a large piece of charcoal rolled into the warm basin, causing large flakes of sparks to tingle and make her scalp numb.

Xia Bai'an was at a loss: "What's wrong with Concubine Shu?"

Miao Linlang was silent for a while, and then slowly sat down again, playing with the red-hot charcoal fire.

"I was scared to death. I thought you would ask about the affairs of the imperial court, but I didn't expect that what you were curious about was actually about the harem... Besides, the Concubine Shu you want to know is also a legendary figure. What I know may not be about the imperial palace." It's secretive, but somewhat rumored."

"Let's hear it?" Xia Baian leaned forward and moved closer to her.

Miao Linlang's pupils reflected flames and fell into memories.

"No one knows the origin of that concubine Shu, let alone why the emperor is obsessed with such a woman. But the maid who was buried with Concubine Shu mentioned the name of the first queen before she died. It is said that Concubine Shu and the second concubine The first queen looks very similar, so she won the favor."

Xia Bai'an was shocked: "Is that so?"

"This is just a rumor from the palace. All in all, the appearance of this concubine Shu is itself suspicious, but the emperor is so enamored that he even sits in the golden house to hide her beauty. Then, concubine Shu became pregnant and died of vomiting blood suddenly during childbirth. , When the emperor arrived, Concubine Shu's face was eaten by wild cats, and there were only large pieces of meat beside her. The strange thing is... all the fish in the lake were dead, and after that, the emperor ordered Shu to be executed. All the eunuchs and maids around the concubine."

After Miao Linlang finished speaking, Xia Bai'an felt a chill in the warm room.

When she imagined that scene in her mind, she felt goosebumps all over her body.

"This thing is too weird."

"It's very strange in itself, and after this incident happened, the emperor suddenly didn't allow anyone to discuss or mention it. Back then, a storyteller took this incident and went to the teahouse to make up stories. Send it to Caishikou and have its head chopped off." Miao Linlang followed suit and nodded.

Xia Bai'an's eyes widened: "This is going to kill people, that dog emperor..."

"Bah bah bah! What nonsense are you talking about? Aren't you afraid of beheading!" Miao Linlang quickly covered her mouth and changed the subject, "Speaking of which, what does this matter have to do with Mo Che? As far as I know, at that time Mo Che hasn't even reached the capital yet."

"..."

You covered my mouth, how can I explain it!

Xia Bai'an was speechless for a while, she was also very curious about this, that's why she came here to ask.

But I didn't expect that what happened to Concubine Shu was so strange.

She pushed away Miao Linlang's hand covering her mouth, and suddenly thought of six years ago...

In other words, Mo Xue seems to have become an empress in the end.

But she is only five years old.

The timing doesn't seem right?

Or is Mo Xue Moyu's age confused?

A cold light flashed in Xia Bai'an's eyes, and he hurriedly stood up: "I'll go back."

Miao Linlang could only shout behind her back: "Hey! What are you trying to investigate? Don't provoke these things in the harem!"
