He Siqing said slowly, "Qixia is your great-aunt, your Majesty's twin sister. She died in the Battle of Pingshan forty-two years ago. Pingshan has now been renamed Nianxia Mountain."
No wonder Lu Ze felt familiar with the name Nianxia. Nianxia Mountain was named after the burial place of Princess Qixia.
Nowadays, very few people remember Princess Qixia's appearance. No wonder His Majesty agreed to adopt Aping as his adopted daughter.
It seems that Aping and Qixia look the same. If Aping clarifies her identity in the future, it will be strong evidence.
After the ceremony, Qi Yuning invited the guests to take their seats. He did not see Zhao Chong, so he felt relieved.
On the day of the great wedding at Prince Qi's Mansion, Qi Yuning did not invite anyone from Uncle Qin's Mansion. Even the Crown Prince was not present for dinner, which caused a lot of discussion.
Qi Yuning didn't care. He and Qi Yu'an entertained the guests separately and distributed wedding cakes, candies and tea.
By the time all the guests had left, it was exactly the hour of Hai.
Qi Yuning was extremely tired. She felt like she could fall asleep right away. She felt drowsy even while taking a shower. However, when she lay on the bed after the shower, she couldn't fall asleep because of the fright she had in the afternoon.
Lingling had already fallen asleep. Qi Yuning looked at Lingling's little face and was startled when a hand came up from behind.
Qi Yuning turned around and saw that it was Lu Ze, and heaved a sigh of relief.
Seeing Qi Yuning's grim expression, Lu Ze said softly, "Why aren't you sleeping yet? You're done with your work today, so you can rest assured."
"I can't sleep. Every time I close my eyes, I see the image of the Crown Prince standing by me this afternoon..."
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze through the dim candlelight. She stood up and said, "We need to ask the maid to come and change the bed. The prince just touched it, so it's dirty."
Seeing Lingling sleeping soundly, Lu Ze said, "Changing the bedding now might wake Lingling up. Why don't you come with me to my place?"
Qi Yuning looked at Lingling and asked, "Where's Lingling?"
Lu Ze said, "She's been having a crazy day today. She won't be able to wake up at night. By the time she wakes up tomorrow morning and you've returned, there won't be any extra guest rooms in the palace today, right?"
Qi Yuning glanced at Lingling, shook Lu Ze's hand and said, "Okay."
The nights in mid-February were still cold.
This was Qi Yuning's third time back in Lu Ze's room. The first two times were because of Lingling's crying.
As soon as you enter the room.
Before Qi Yuning's maid could go in and make the bed, the door was closed by the master inside.
Lu Ze pushed Qi Yuning against the door and kissed her...
Qi Yuning hugged Lu Ze's waist tightly, responded to his kiss, and closed her eyes, no longer feeling the panic she had during the day.
After a long time, Lu Ze picked up Qi Yuning and carried her to the bed, then lowered his head and kissed her lips again.
Clothes were scattered on the ground in a mess.
Qi Yuning was only wearing a small piece of clothing.
Until the jade pendant on Lu Ze's waist fell to the ground, making a startling sound...
Qi Yuning suddenly came back to his senses.
Seeing Lu Ze with a dazed and emotional look in front of her, she took a deep breath and said, "Wait until we get married..."
"good."
Lu Ze also took a deep breath and asked, "Can I sleep peacefully now?"
Qi Yuning said in Lu Ze's arms, "After my sister-in-law is out of confinement, we will go and expose the prince."
"Well, the most important thing right now is that you sleep well, dear."
Qi Yuning listened to Lu Ze coaxing her like he was coaxing Lingling, and laughed, "I'm not Lingling."
"You're just like Lingling," Lu Ze said. "Go to sleep! You need to rest well. If you still can't sleep, I won't wait until we get married..."
Qi Yuning even closed her eyes.
…
In the mansion of Qin Guo's uncle.
Qin Zhen said angrily, "The Qi family is going too far. The palace is celebrating a big event today, but they didn't even give us, the Qin family, a single invitation. When we went there, they kicked us out!"
Uncle Qin said to his youngest son, "It seems the Qi family has cut off even their official ties. That's perfect. We won't have to show any mercy when dealing with the Qi family in the future."
Qin Han came from outside and said, "Dad, it's so late, what's the matter with you calling us together?"
Uncle Qin frowned and said, "Someone is tracking down Nanny Qin's daughter. She was very loyal and refused to reveal the identity of her master even under torture. She was tortured to death!"
There are very few people in the world who can endure the pain of death and not confess.
Qin Han was shocked and said, "Madame Qin almost ruined our plan. Everyone thought she and her daughter were dead. They must have fallen into the river and died. How could anyone come to investigate her daughter?"
Qin Zhen looked at Uncle Qin and said, "Father, do you suspect that Nanny Qin is not dead?"
Uncle Qin narrowed his eyes and said, "That person is dead, and the clues are gone. We can't be soft-hearted anymore. We can't keep the old emperor here any longer, lest there be more trouble."
