Ah Ping shook her head and said, "No, no, I don't have any identity."
Qi Yunan frowned slightly and said, "Pingping, we will be husband and wife. I don't want my wife to hide anything from me."
Ah Ping wrapped the handkerchief around her fingers and said, "I didn't hide anything from you."
Qi Yuan sneered and left A Ping's yard angrily.
Ah Ping poured herself a glass of warm water and continued to sip it. In fact, Zhao Chong was her cousin. If Zhao Chong could really be a good prince and bring welfare to the people of the world, she would still have to keep the secret of her life a secret for the rest of her life.
Otherwise, why would wars break out and so many lives be lost because of her?
Aping gently touched her belly. Her only wish now was that the baby in her belly would be born smoothly, healthy and safe.

Imperial tomb.
After lunch, we set off back to the city.
Lingling and Zhao Jie are inseparable. When Lingling got on the carriage, little Zhao Jie and Lingling staged a life-and-death farewell, which was very touching.
Lu Ze chuckled and said, "Lingling, we can come and see uncle during the Qingming Festival. It's only a month away."
Lingling said to Xiao Zhaojie with red eyes: "Uncle, please wait for Lingling for a month. Lingling will come to play with you in a month."
Little Zhao Jie waved to Lingling with tears in his eyes, saying, "Lingling, you must come!"
Lingling nodded and said, "Lingling will come. Goodbye, little uncle."

Qi Yuning said, "My uncle is probably the safest in the imperial mausoleum."
Those who succeeded in the struggle for imperial power may have relied not on ability but on inconspicuousness and luck.
Prince Duan took little Zhao Jie and stayed safely at the imperial mausoleum. Even if there was a raging war outside, as long as people with the surname Zhao were fighting for the throne, Zhao Jie would be the safest.
Zhao Jie's uncles would not touch these orphans and their widowed mother.
After returning to the palace, it was already time for dinner.
Qi Yuning noticed that something seemed to be wrong with Qi Yuan and A Ping. A Ping was eating quietly, while Qi Yuan had a stern face and looked a little annoyed.
After the meal, Lingling was already feeling a little sleepy. Just as Lu Ze was about to carry Lingling back to Chunjiang Courtyard, Qi Yu'an stopped him and said, "Prince Lu, are you free for a drink?"
Lu Ze handed Lingling to Qi Yuning and said, "If Brother Qi Wang has the time to enjoy a drink, I can accompany you."
Qi Yu'an took Lu Ze to a pavilion in the middle of a lake in the palace. Palace lanterns were hung on the edge of the pavilion, making it as bright as day.
After Qi Yuan dismissed the servants, he went straight to the point and asked Lu Ze, "What is Ah Ping's identity?"
