The immense pressure and chilling aura instantly caused everyone in the hall to lower their heads and remain silent, like frightened birds.

Granny Zhang secretly glanced at Xiao Xuan's face out of the corner of her eye; it was as dark as a storm cloud, extremely frightening.

Panic and fear made her body tremble slightly. She tried her best to maintain a calm demeanor and began to reassure herself.

However, soon, Ru Bao's thoughts began to intermittently enter Xiao Xuan and Ning Yin's minds again.

"You murderer, you wicked old woman! I bet your true colors will be revealed soon enough!"

Ru Bao lay in Su Xin's arms, trying his best to lift his head to look at Zhang Mama, but because he was only three days old, his neck was limp and he had no strength to lift his head.

So, Ru Bao could only wave her chubby little hands with all her might, trying to find some sense of existence for herself.

Su Xin thought the little guy was probably hungry, which was why he was so excited, so she called the wet nurse and stuffed Ru Bao's mouth shut.

Once the milk entered his mouth, he drank it with relish, completely ignoring Zhang Mama on the ground.

Ru Bao felt that the only drawback of being reborn into the Great Qi Dynasty was that he was almost killed by that old woman; otherwise, he was very satisfied.

After all, his mother was beautiful, his father was powerful and domineering, and he himself had a throne to inherit in the future.

This incredible stroke of luck was like winning the lottery for a useless person who had failed in his cultivation journey.

Bao happily fantasized about the magnificent scene of herself growing up, ruling the world, and dominating the battlefield.

As he was thinking, he couldn't help but burp. Just as he was about to doze off, he heard the servants on the ground start to cry and shout that they were wronged.

He tried with all his might to look up again, but fortunately, the wet nurse seemed to know what he wanted to do, and simply picked him up and took a few steps forward, adjusting his direction.

This way, he could see Zhang Mama crying and pleading about how loyal she was and how she would never harm him.

"Even if this old servant were to die, I would never have the heart to harm His Highness. You know, Your Majesty pulled this old servant back from the brink of death. How could this old servant possibly harm Your Majesty's child? Besides, those clothes weren't prepared by this old servant."

Seeing Zhang Mama's acting skills, Ru Bao suddenly snorted and forced a disdainful expression.

The wet nurse couldn't understand, assuming the child was just sleepy, so she patted Ru Bao's back to lull him to sleep.

Suddenly, the wet nurse seemed to hear a huffy little voice ringing in her mind.

"Hiccup, hiccup, stop patting me! I just drank milk, I'm going to throw up if you keep patting me, please stop, ah!"

The wet nurse thought she was hallucinating and hurriedly lowered her head to look at Ru Bao, only to see that there were indeed several drops of milk hanging from the corner of Ru Bao's mouth.

She was completely dumbfounded. Could it be that the sweet, childlike voice she had just heard wasn't just her imagination?

The wet nurse was still in shock when Ru Bao said, "That old woman is quite the actress. It's a pity she doesn't go into acting. But her tricks will definitely not escape Father and Mother's sharp eyes. Besides, how can she still have the nerve to cry here? If it weren't for her, Grandma wouldn't have died."

Upon hearing this, Ning Yin, Xiao Xuan, and even the wet nurse were shocked, especially Ning Yin, who had already guessed that it was Zhang Mama who wanted to kill her child.

I never expected that Ru Bao would say something so astonishing: what she meant by saying that if it weren't for her, Grandma wouldn't have died.

Ru Bao's maternal grandmother was none other than her own mother. Upon thinking of this, Ning Yin could no longer remain calm. She turned to look at Xiao Xuan, and the man nodded knowingly.

"Guards, drag Zhang Mama away and flog her. She can come back to see me when she's willing to tell the truth!"

After Zhang Mama was dragged away, the other palace servants were also dismissed. Ning Yin ordered Su Xin to carry Ru Bao to the bedroom to sleep, and she looked a little unwell.

When her mother died, she was still young. Her father said that her mother's body was weakened after giving birth to her, which is why she died in childbirth when she was pregnant with her second child.

Later, the grandmother felt something was amiss and wanted to examine the body herself, only to find that Ning Yuanshan had taken her mother's body away and buried it overnight.

The grandmother wanted to open the coffin, but was strongly opposed by Ning Yuanshan and Liu Shi, and the matter was ultimately ruled out as a difficult childbirth.

Now, Ning Yin is a wife and a mother, but she never expected that she would be able to hear her son's inner thoughts and learn such a shocking secret.

Both she and Xiao Xuan knew that their child was a divine being sent from heaven, extraordinary beyond compare, so Ning Yin believed what Ru Bao said.

The thought that her mother didn't even have a proper funeral brought tears to Ning Yin's eyes.

Although Xiao Xuan promised to posthumously confer upon his mother the title of First-Rank Imperial Consort, Ning Yin felt suffocated by the thought that she had died at the hands of others and that she had been completely unaware of it all these years. She had even personally saved the real culprit who had killed her mother.

She always thought that her father was still her father and would never deceive her. But it turned out that this damned man had already colluded with outsiders to kill the person she cared about most.

Seeing Ning Yin looking somewhat absent-minded, Xiao Xuan frowned with heartache, pulled her into his arms, and gently stroked her back.

“Ah Ning, our child has come to repay a debt of gratitude. You should be gratified. As for the real culprit who killed your mother, I will make her pay a terrible price.”

"I just feel like I'm not a good mother. I had my doubts about Granny Zhang, but I was still careless and almost killed Ru Bao. It's all my fault. I kept a tiger and wolf by my side and treated her like family. I just can't understand how she could be so heartless!"

Ning Yin leaned on Xiao Xuan's shoulder, sobbing softly, but the next second, her gaze turned fierce. How could the murderer who killed her loved ones live so freely?

On what grounds?

Zhang Mama, Ning Yuanshan, Liu Ruhui, none of them will escape!

These people should have died long ago, and Ning Yin decided to personally end these scourges.
