Jingyang was still confused when he came out of Helanxin.
She only knew that there was a new child in the palace. As for the identity of this child, the most popular speculation in the palace was that it was Dota's illegitimate child outside.
Therefore, some people also rumored that this might be a romantic debt that the king incurred when he was exiled.
There are also rumors that the king kept the position of queen just for the mother of this child.
Some even said that the king planned to train this child as the heir to the throne.
Naturally, people in the palace did not dare to spread rumors like these to Dota, but they did whisper to each other in private.
Helan Xin was not interested in these things. She knew all this only because she was the one who was taking care of many affairs in the harem.
Jingyang couldn't find out anything more from her, so he took Xuezhu out.
She wondered whether she should go and pay her respects to Dota, but then she felt that if she did, he probably wouldn't see her.
Xuezhu was stunned when she heard what she heard inside. After coming out, she couldn't help herself and asked Jingyang quietly,
"Wang Ji, that child you mentioned..." She looked around carefully, "Could it really be..."
Jing Yang thought about it and felt that it was unlikely. "The child I saw on the eagle's back that day should have been eight or nine months old. Calculating the time, it shouldn't be..."
At that time, the battle for the throne was at its most intense, and the king should have been too distracted to think about it...
But Xuezhu suddenly thought of something and whispered to Jingyang, "But Princess Wang... do you still remember the house we saw outside Xiaoyue City that day?"
After Xuezhu said this, Jingyang remembered something.
That house was guarded by Eagle Guards, and they were on almost a tight security.
At the time, she wondered what kind of place that was and who lived there to be looked at like that...
Could it be that the king has a mistress hidden in that golden house?
There is some truth to this.
Thinking of this, Jing Yang decided to go to the main hall and see for himself what was going on.
…
When Yuan Zhizhi woke up, she saw a black palace roof, which was different from the places she had lived in before.
She rubbed her eyes, and sat up dazedly, mumbling something.
"Mom..." Then she thought that she seemed to be with her dad, so she turned and shouted, "Dad... Dad..."
The palace servants in the main hall did not know Yuan Zhizhi's identity. When they heard the little girl waking up and looking for her parents, they naturally thought she was calling for Duota.
But no one dared to step forward on their own initiative, and instead quickly went to inform Dota.
Dota was in the main hall, with a man kneeling in front of him.
The man was being escorted by the Eagle Guards, his hands tied behind his back, his hair disheveled, and his appearance in a disheveled state.
It’s Qingzhi.
After she left with Yuan Zhao and Huo Yan the night before, she did not go far, but turned back voluntarily to ensure that they left the territory of Beiqiang.
When the Eagle Guards found her, she was captured without any resistance.
Dota looked at her coldly and said, "You know how I always treat traitors."
Qingzhi lay on the ground with her head facing the ground.
"It's up to the king to decide."
Yuan Zhao and Huo Yan saved her that night, and she helped them escape, so they were even.
But she was a member of the Eagle Guard, and her life was saved by the king.
So she did not leave Beiqiang, but was captured and brought back.
There were ministers waiting outside to discuss important matters with Duota, but Duota did not want to say much and was concise and clear.
"Drag him away and execute him."
Qing Zhi heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The king was very merciful in granting her death.
If the Eagle Guards dealt with traitors in the same way they had done in the past, she would be unable to live or die.
Just as Qingzhi was about to be taken away, Jin Wan, a eunuch beside Duota, came in and reported to him, "Your Majesty, Miss Zhizhi has woken up."
When Dota heard this, he was about to stand up, but he stopped when he thought of something, with an inexplicable look on his face.
Am I paying too much attention to this child?
He is not related to her.
Cang Yuan brought her back, and he spared her life just to threaten someone.
Not throwing her in the dungeon was a mercy.
Jin Wan had been with him for a long time, trying to figure out his thoughts, and made a suggestion.
"Your Majesty, how about ordering a special wet nurse to take care of Miss Zhizhi?"
Dota sat back down and said "hmm" to indicate that it was okay.
Qingzhi hung her head aside, and the Eagle Guards, seeing that it was none of their business, prepared to take her away.
But Duota thought of Yuan Zhizhi, glanced at Qingzhi, raised his hand to stop her,
"Lock her up first and wait for further action."
Qingzhi then raised her head, wondering why the king suddenly changed his mind.
The other members of the Eagle Guard were also surprised. Would the King show Qingzhi extra favor? But they just did as they were told.
"Then I will go down and make arrangements for Miss Zhizhi."
At this time, several ministers who were waiting outside came into the hall.
Dota was a little worried, but he calmed himself down and said, "Find someone experienced to take care of him."
"If she wants something, I can give it to her as long as she doesn't leave the palace."
Jin Wan bowed and nodded, understanding what the king meant.
The ministers who came in were confused and didn't know who the king was talking about.
But seeing that it was Jin Wan who gave the order, could it be one of the concubines in the harem? Who is this person who is so favored by the king?
Several ministers exchanged glances but didn't dare ask any more questions.
Jin Wan came out and personally selected a wet nurse. He also said to the palace maid who was taking care of Yuan Zhizhi,
"You better take good care of the girl. If anything goes wrong, watch out for your heads!"
When Jin Wan said this, the palace people immediately understood that this little girl must be very important to the king.
