Chapter 151 If you go too late, he will die!
Shangguan Xi's thin lips trembled. After taking a deep breath, he called softly, "Qi'er..."
Her eyes were fixed on the small figure not far away.
My heart was beating so fast it almost burst out of my chest.
Jiang Qi heard someone calling him and turned around immediately.
The little boy has a fair and pleasant face, with big, bright eyes.
The eyebrows and eyes are almost exactly the same as Shangguan Xi.
The small windmill in his hand was blown by the breeze and began to turn slowly.
The two looked at each other.
When Shangguan Xi saw him, tears immediately fell.
She, she recognized the little boy
In her dream yesterday, she dreamed of him...
No wonder she was so heartbroken, no wonder she felt so familiar with him the moment she saw him...
She and he are related by blood...they are close relatives!
Shangguan Xi burst into tears and her body trembled uncontrollably.
Jiang Qi also seemed to sense something.
He walked slowly towards Shangguan Creek with small steps.
Jiang Qi stretched out his soft little hands and stood on tiptoe, as if he wanted to wipe Shangguan Xi's tears.
His words were somewhat unclear, "You, you don't have to cry."
Shangguan Xi felt even more distressed when she heard his childish voice of comfort.
Sure enough, this, this is her biological child!
Shangguan Sui lowered his eyelids slightly and sighed softly.
She explained in a sweet and crisp voice: "Qi'er was raised by Uncle Li, but Uncle Li can't speak and is mute, so no one has ever taught Qi'er to speak."
"He is five years old now, but his speech is still unclear..."
Shangguan Xi couldn't bear it any longer after hearing that. She squatted down and held Jiang Qi tightly in her arms.
She buried her head in Jiang Qi's soft neck.
Unable to control myself, I burst into tears.
She didn't even dare to think about how much her child had suffered outside...
Jiang Qi felt her sadness and his eyes gradually turned red.
He asked vaguely: "Who are you?"
Shangguan Xi's face was covered with tears. She raised her head and spoke softly as if she was afraid of disturbing anyone.
She spoke word by word: "I am your mother, I am your mother."
Jiang Qi blinked, "Mother?"
Then, as if realizing something, he said with some surprise and caution, "I, I have a mother..."
Shangguan Xi reached out and touched his soft hair, then nodded vigorously with red eyes.
"Well, our Qi'er has a mother now. She finally found you..."
Uncle Li heard the noise and came out of the house.
When he saw Shangguan Xi in the yard, his eyes widened immediately.
It’s the princess, it’s the princess!
Uncle Li kowtowed subconsciously.
But soon he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
He had done something wrong back then, would the princess kill him for that reason?
Shangguan Xi naturally saw Uncle Li as well, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on him.
It’s actually... him.
Shangguan Sui pursed his lips when he saw this.
【At that time, Uncle Li worked for Zhang, who came up with a vicious plan to secretly swap the child.】
[After the child exchange was successful, Zhang ordered Uncle Li to kill Jiang Qi, but Uncle Li couldn't bear it, so he secretly kept him and told Zhang that he had killed Jiang Qi.]
【Uncle Li was worried that Zhang would not believe him, and was also afraid that Zhang would find out, so he chose to leave the capital directly.】
Shangguan Xi heard the inner voice and frowned slightly.
She had met Uncle Li before.
He was Zhang's uncle and originally held an idle position in Prince Yong's Palace.
But not long after she and Zhang gave birth to their child, Uncle Li left Prince Yong's Mansion and disappeared.
It turns out that this is the reason...
Shangguan Xi saw Uncle Li's fear and worry.
She curled her lips slightly and said slowly, "Don't worry, you saved Qi'er's life back then. I can't thank you enough, so I won't hurt you."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Li immediately felt relieved.
Just as the fifth princess said, the princess did not blame him, nor did she intend to kill him.
Shangguan Sui heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
[As I thought, my aunt did not blame Uncle Li.]
[After all, the culprit of this matter is Zhang! If she hadn't come up with such a sinister idea, the subsequent events would not have happened. ]
When Zhang was mentioned, Shangguan Xi's eyes immediately turned cold.
Zhang had caused her and Qi'er to be separated for so many years, and she even wanted to kill her to become the princess.
She certainly won't let her go!
But she had been the Princess of Yong for so many years and was no longer the naive girl in the palace.
Zhang exchanged her son and tried to murder Prince Yong's legitimate son, which was a capital crime.
But Zhang's elder brother had made great achievements in the imperial examinations and was now an official in Beijing, highly regarded by Prime Minister He.
Zhang also had a very good relationship with her brother.
Without solid evidence, it would be impossible to send Zhang to jail.
Shangguan Xi spoke up and expressed his concerns and doubts to Shangguan Sui.
"I dream of sending that vicious woman to jail, but the evidence is not sufficient now."
"Uncle Li can serve as a witness, but he can neither speak nor write, so he is not qualified to be a witness."
"But we can't seem to find any witnesses..."
Now the Zhang brothers have the support of Prime Minister He, who is now in control of the government.
She was alone in Xia Country, with no power that could help her.
There must be sufficient evidence to kill Zhang with one blow and give her and Qi'er justice.
Shangguan Sui blinked when he heard this and started thinking in his mind.
[Witness…Who else can serve as a witness…]
Suddenly, a light flashed through her mind.
"I remember there's another person who can serve as a witness!"
"That person is now in the Seventh Prince's Mansion."
After Shangguan Sui said this, he seemed to remember something and suddenly froze in place.
[The Seventh Prince... goes boating! ]
[Damn it! How could I have almost forgotten that He Tian sent someone to assassinate the Seventh Prince today! ]
[No, no, we have to hurry and save the Seventh Prince. If we go too late, he will die! ]
[If he dies, Xia Country will really become Hetian! ]
At this time, by the Mengyue Lake in the capital.
A young man in green was standing by the lake. He was wearing a green brocade robe, had a tall and slender figure, and had a handsome and elegant appearance.
The Seventh Prince looked at the beautiful scenery of the lake and the willow branches and the gentle breeze before him. His originally depressed mood improved a lot.
His father was seriously ill, so he took advantage of his rest period to come to the Zhenguo Temple in plain clothes to burn incense and pray for his father, hoping that his father would get better soon.
I didn't expect to see such a beautiful scenery on the way back.
Seeing this, Master Li, who was traveling with them, couldn't help but persuade them: "Master, the weather is so nice today, why don't we go boating on the lake to relax?"
Since he was traveling incognito, he changed his title as well.
He was a close friend of the Seventh Prince, so he naturally knew that the Seventh Prince was worried about the Emperor's illness and had not rested for a long time.
When he was not handling state affairs, he would personally visit the emperor's bedside to show his filial piety.
The Seventh Prince pursed his lips and said, "Well, it would be a shame if I didn't appreciate this beautiful scene."
I've been really tired these days, so I'd like to take a good rest.
The attendant took the order and quickly came over and said, "Sir, the boat has been found."
Several people walked to the boat together.
Master Li leaned slightly and said, "You should get on board first. Even though we are outside, we should still follow the etiquette."
The Seventh Prince shook his head helplessly and chuckled, then raised his feet to get on the boat.
But at this moment, a childish and clear voice suddenly rang in his ears.
[No! No! Don't get on the boat! ]
The seventh prince froze in his tracks.
He turned around and saw a pretty little girl jogging towards him.
