Nanny Xue committed suicide. Ever since she learned that the child she had given away was not dead, she had completely collapsed.
These days, being with Princess Rui has become increasingly tormenting.
I couldn't sleep night after night.
As soon as she closed her eyes, the images that came to her mind were either the child coming to take her life, or the princess wanting to tear her into pieces after learning the truth.
So Nanny Xue had nightmares at night and was confused during the day. She couldn't bear it for a few days.
She eventually chose to end her life after leaving a suicide note.
The contents of the suicide note shocked Princess Rui so much that she fainted on the spot.
The palace was in chaos in an instant. Prince Rui, who was searching for clues outside, was so angry when he heard the news that he smashed the teacup in his hand.
"Didn't I tell you not to let the princess know about this?"
As he spoke, he quickly got into the car and went back home.
When Prince Rui returned to the palace, his wife had already been taken back to the bedroom and settled down.
She leaned against the head of the bed with a pale face, her eyes half-closed, and her expression was indescribably indifferent.
But when she saw Prince Rui coming back, tears instantly welled up in her eyes.
"Your Highness..." Princess Rui extended her hand towards Prince Rui.
Prince Rui rushed forward in two steps, grabbed the hand that Princess Rui extended to him, and said softly, "Don't worry, I just found out about the whole thing a few days ago.
"After I learned the news, I have been investigating as soon as possible."
Princess Rui held Prince Rui's hand tightly, crying breathlessly.
"My Lord, my child, our child...
"I can't even imagine how much suffering she has endured in the past few years.
"Your Majesty, you must find the child back..."
At this moment, Princess Rui's mind was filled with images of her child suffering.
Although I knew I was just imagining things, I couldn't control it.
As soon as she opened her mouth, her tears flowed like water from a floodgate.
In the end, she just burst into tears.
Prince Rui reached out and held her in his arms, patting her back to comfort her.
"Don't worry, I'm here!
"We should always look at the bright side of things, at least our daughter is still alive.
"What we need to do now is to find the child as soon as possible, don't you think?"
Holding his wife's trembling body in his arms, Prince Rui felt very uncomfortable.
He originally wanted to keep it a secret from his wife until he found out the exact information about the child.
If the child is gone, she shouldn't be told about it.
If she finds the child, it will be a huge surprise for her.
But now the death of Nanny Xue has disrupted all his plans.
If the child is not found in the end, the situation when the child died may be repeated, and it may be even more severe than the last time.
Prince Rui couldn't even imagine what kind of disaster scene that would be, and he didn't know whether Princess Rui's body could withstand such torture and blow.
——
In the evening, at Qin's residence.
When Qin Songyin returned from the palace, Madam Qin helped him change into casual clothes.
"I thought you would be in the palace right now!" Qin Songyin said.
"Palace? Which palace?" Madam Qin said as she handed him her casual robe. "It's not a festival, and I haven't received an invitation. Why would I go to the palace for no reason?"
"Of course it's Prince Rui's Mansion." Qin Songyin was also a little surprised. "Don't you know that the princess is ill?"
"Sister is sick? How is that possible? We went shopping in the afternoon, but we went home very quickly.
"When we separated, my sister was fine. How could she be sick?"
“But in the afternoon, someone from Prince Rui’s palace came to invite the imperial physician to come over, and the emperor showed some concern when he heard about it.
"The people below did say that Princess Rui was ill, so they wanted to ask the imperial physician to come and see her!"
Recalling what happened when she was shopping in the afternoon, Mrs. Qin suddenly felt a little panicked, wondering if her sister fell ill because of what she said?
Or was it that after returning home, my sister discovered that the prince had indeed hidden something from her, and so she fell ill in anger?
No matter what the situation was, Mrs. Qin was anxious to go over and visit.
Qin Songyin pressed her shoulder and said, "Madam, don't worry. There hasn't been any news from the palace. They probably don't want outsiders to know about this. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to go over and visit the patient now."
"This..." Mrs. Qin thought about it and it made sense, but she couldn't say that she went there just because Qin Songyin heard the news from the palace!
"But my sister's health has always been poor. It has reached the point where she needs to call in the imperial physician. How serious must her condition be?"
Just when Mrs. Qin was extremely anxious, Qin Hexuan, who had just returned from get out of class, came over to greet the two of them, and then told the villain something.
"Father, Mother, the Cen family is going to cook roe deer meat tomorrow. Qingtian has invited you and me to have lunch together. I wonder if I can go?" Qin Hexuan asked for their opinions.
Madam Qin nodded and said, "Since they have invited you, you can go with the master.
"Remember to prepare gifts when you go. Don't go empty-handed."
"Don't worry, mother. Your son will save you money."
After Qin Hexuan obtained his parents' consent, his expression instantly became happy, but the next moment he saw the worried faces of his parents.
"Father, Mother, is there something wrong at home?" Qin Hexuan asked tentatively.
Mrs. Qin recounted the entire incident to him, and concluded by saying, "We don't know how your aunt is doing right now, so it's not wise for us to go visit her rashly."
