Chapter 704: Mu Qingrong's Life (Part )
At that time, Xiao Jue was still a prince. Because of his brother's conspiracy, he was shot by an arrow and rolled down the hillside. He was rescued by Mu Qingrong who was picking herbs.
Maybe it was the life-saving grace, or maybe it was the careful care during his recovery period, Xiao Jue had developed a fondness for Mu Qingrong, and he also found that this girl was very smart, had a photographic memory, and understood things quickly. She was able to integrate and apply what she learned, which surprised Xiao Jue and gave him a little pleasure in nurturing her.
After three years of living together, both sides have each other in their hearts. Xiao Jue also knows what Mu Qingrong has gone through and feels very distressed. He swears that he will never let her down and will definitely marry her.
But sometimes fate plays tricks on us.
Xiao Jue was named Prince Jing and led the troops to war, and Mu Qingrong was taken back to the Mu family.
The imperial decree issued a beauty pageant, and not only the eldest and second daughters of the Mu family, Mu Qingrong, but all girls of appropriate age had to participate.
Originally, Prince Jing's people were secretly working to ensure that Mu Qingrong would lose the election in the end.
The Queen also felt sorry for Prince Jing because he had lost his mother when he was young and had no one to help him with his marriage, so she kindly suggested to His Majesty that a princess be chosen for Prince Jing.
His Majesty did not care about this son and told the Queen to make the decision.
Therefore, the Queen picked a princess and two concubines for Prince Jing, all of whom came from good family backgrounds and had gentle and generous personalities.
The eldest lady of the Mu family is also among them, and this is also because the eldest lady of the Mu family is the one who makes the Mu family run.
The eldest daughter of the Mu family has always been fond of Prince Jing and is unwilling to enter the palace. When she hears that the Queen intends to select a concubine to enter Prince Jing's mansion, she has to put a lot of thought into planning.
Thus, with the help of her family, the dignified and generous eldest daughter of the Mu family successfully caught the Queen's eye and became the concubine of Prince Jing.
As for why Mu Qingrong was not chosen, it was because the Queen felt that this girl was too beautiful and might confuse Prince Jing. As a good adoptive mother who cared about Prince Jing, of course she could not bear to see this scene.
As a result, Mu Qingrong was not favored by the Queen, but was instead given a royal seal.
There are so many beauties in the harem. Although Mu Qingrong is beautiful, she is not the only one. It is still unknown whether she can climb up. Naturally, the queen will not take Mu Qingrong seriously.
The eldest daughter of the Mu family has become the concubine of Prince Jing. The Mu family must keep someone to enter the harem. The third and fourth daughters of the Mu family have been eliminated due to the manipulation of the family. In the end, the only one left is Mu Qingrong.
Maybe all this is fate.
The man he loved was going to marry, and three women in a row, and even her step-sister could become his concubine.
But she, Mu Qingrong, was going to become his father's woman.
Is this God playing a trick on us?
When Prince Jing learned about this, he naturally tried every means to rescue his beloved woman, but due to his status, he was unable to fulfill his wish.
Maybe it was fate, or maybe it was reality that the two lovers could never be together.
After a series of sadomasochistic love affairs, the former lover gradually drifted away. Once you enter the palace, it is like entering a deep sea. The fighting in the harem is cruel. No matter how kind a person is, he will become unrecognizable in the deep palace where people are eaten without leaving any bones.
It's not that she has changed, but that this world forces her to fight, to struggle, and to rob.
Only by climbing to the highest position and possessing tremendous power can one dominate everything, instead of degenerating into an ant that is trampled upon by everyone!
Mu Qingrong spent the first half of her life wandering around and being looked down upon. The wealth and glory she gained in the second half of her life by unscrupulous means were nothing but passing clouds and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Her life was bitter, and the only sweetness she had was the three years she spent in that small Taoist temple when she was young.
It’s not that the Shen family didn’t contact Mu Qingrong, but Mu Qingrong hated the Shen family, hated them for adopting Shen Wanru, and hated them for losing her.
If...if she hadn't been lost, if she was still Shen Qianqian, would her life be different?
But... there is no if...
Man, after all, cannot defeat the heavens, cannot defeat fate...
Mu Qingrong was unwilling to die, hating herself, hating the heavens, and hating everyone...
The Shen couple were tormented day and night by their daughter's hatred, and no matter what they did, they could not make up for the harm their daughter had suffered.
Upon learning that her daughter was imprisoned for murdering the previous emperor, Mrs. Shen fainted and fell seriously ill. If it weren't for Di Ran's arrival, she probably would not have survived.
Finally, the Shen couple decided to go to Beijing and bring their daughter back.
Mu Qingrong is the daughter of the Shen family, and she must eventually trace her ancestral roots.
But they might be disappointed on this trip, because... Mu Qingrong is dead.
After being purified by Di Ran's witchcraft, perhaps because she couldn't accept her own ending or perhaps because she was tired of it all, she went crazy.
One night I lit a candle and found myself in a sea of fire, seemingly about to be reduced to ashes.
Upon learning the news of their daughter's death, the Shen couple was shocked again.
I didn’t even see him for the last time…
This time, no living people were brought back.
There is only a small urn...
