Qi Yu'an didn't understand what Qi Yuning meant.
Qi Yuning recounted the grudge between Xia Xi and Madam Qin.
Ah Ping was shocked when she heard this and said, "Mrs. Qin killed Xia Xi's child and fed it to the dogs. How could she be so vicious? No wonder Xia Xi wanted to kill her master."
Qi Yuning said: "At that time, there were only two children born in the Qin family, one was Qin Ma's daughter, and the other was Xia Xi's son.
If the prince is of the Qin family bloodline, then he could only be born to Xia Xi, and Xia Xi was the child who was killed and fed to the dogs..."
Aping covered her lower abdomen and her mouth with a handkerchief, her eyes instantly filled with tears.
Since she was a child, Aping has always felt that there is someone in Qin Ma's heart that she is worried about. Later, when she learned the truth, she realized that she must be worried about her daughter.
Nanny Qin raised me and always felt extremely guilty about herself.
Aping knew in her heart that if Nanny Qin had chosen not to expose the matter at that time, Nanny Qin would have been able to accompany her daughter to grow up and protect her daughter after she got married.
Unexpectedly...
Nanny Qin's daughter died so tragically!
Ah Ping cried, "Is Xia Xi, the child who was eaten by a dog, really Aunt Qin's daughter?"
Qi Yuning said, "Xia Xi's child is of the Qin family's bloodline after all. How bold must Yu be to kill the Qin family's child and feed it to the dogs? Even if she hated the maidservant who came with her as a dowry and got pregnant with her husband's child, she could have given Xia Xi an abortion drug long ago. Why wait until the child was born before feeding it to the dogs?"
Qi Yu'an wiped Ah Ping's tears. Ah Ping clenched her fists and said, "Auntie is still looking forward to meeting her daughter."
Qi Yuning sighed and said, "She should have known it long ago. When she found out the truth about the substitution, she would not have survived, and neither would her daughter. The Qin family cannot have another child. I think Yu Shi killed the child and fed him to the dogs because she wanted to do that, leaving not a single bone behind."
Ah Ping dug her nails into her flesh as she said, "After I'm out of confinement, I won't let the Qin family get away with it. I'm going to avenge my aunt's daughter."
Qi Yuning said: "Well, now you should take good care of yourself and wait until the baby is born safely."
…
Today, Lu Ze also waited until dark before arriving at the palace.
Qi Yuning asked Lu Ze, "Is the Dali Temple so busy lately?"
Lu Ze said, "All of the Shu King's followers must be convicted and investigated. There are indeed many things to do, but today my grandmother is ill."
"Are you really sick?" Qi Yuning raised his eyes and asked.
Lu Ze said, "He was really sick, otherwise he wouldn't have missed the Qi family's wedding banquet yesterday."
Qi Yuning didn't notice that Madam Lu didn't come yesterday. She said, "My brother said he wanted to have a meal with everyone in the Lu family in the next two days, but since Madam Lu is sick, let's cancel it."
After Qi Yuning had the maids leave, she told Lu Ze about Nanny Qin's daughter, "My brother sent someone to investigate, but I'm afraid he might have alerted the enemy."
Lu Ze comforted him, "Even if we try to alert them, they won't think Ping is the real princess. There's no need to worry too much. Prince Qi and Ping are also going to North City. We'll be able to expose the Crown Prince and the Qin family's true identity soon after the baby is born."
Qi Yuning sighed and said, "I'm just afraid that the longer the night, the more dreams there will be. But now that Ping is pregnant, I can't expose it at this time. If she is falsely accused and imprisoned, it will not be good for the child in her belly... Alas!"
“Daddy!”
Lingling poked her head out from the bed.
Qi Yuning saw Lingling wake up and asked, "Why did you wake up?"
Lingling pouted and said, "Someone kept calling Lingling to go back. When Lingling closed her eyes, she could only hear her mother crying. There was also an old man with a white beard telling Lingling to go back."
Qi Yuning asked Lu Ze, "Could it be that someone from the Xinwei year came to ask Lingling to go back?"
Lu Ze said to Lingling, "Lingling, it's time for you to go back."
Lingling reached out her hands and threw herself into Lu Ze's arms. "Mother said this is Lingling's home, too. Lingling, are you going back to your grandmother's home?"
Lu Ze said: "It's back to when you came."
Qi Yuning held Lingling's little hand. After spending half a year together, she was reluctant to let Lingling go. But Lingling didn't belong here after all.
If Ah Ping were to expose the Crown Prince, who knows what kind of uproar it would cause in the court.
Apart from the crown prince, there are now six princes. The King of Shu, who was the most capable rival to the crown prince, has passed away, but the other six princes are not pushovers either.
The second prince, Prince Ning, is thirty-six years old this year. His mother is a girl from the Wang family of the Zhenbei Marquisate. Although the Wang family handed over the military power early on, it was eventually handed over to the Jiedushi of Guannei, and the daughter of the Jiedushi of Guannei was the Princess Ning.
Prince Ning is not as prominent as Prince Shu in the court, but he has always been blameless. It is extremely difficult to remain blameless in the court for many years.
The fourth prince, Prince Xu, was of humble origins but enjoyed considerable fame among scholars. His calligraphy and painting skills were not much worse than Lu Ze's. He loved to discuss poetry and songs with scholars. Perhaps it was for the sake of romance, but he had quite a few retainers in his mansion.
The fifth prince, Prince Liao, had a mother, Concubine Wu, who was from Liaozhou. When Emperor Shiyuan ascended the throne, it was inseparable from the strong support of the Liaozhou family. Concubine Wu, the mother of Prince Liao, was the only one who did not use the title of virtuous and kind.
The reason why she was called Concubine Wu was because she was good at martial arts. Now Concubine Wu is over fifty years old, and it is said that she can still swing two axes.
The Prince of Liao is 31 years old this year. He usually likes beautiful women and music, but Concubine Wu found him a princess who is good at martial arts. It is often heard that the Princess of Liao has gone to some singing and dancing house to capture the Prince of Liao.
The sixth prince died young, and the mother of the seventh prince, Prince Jin, was a merchant daughter. Although his mother is no longer alive, his maternal grandfather left the huge family business to Prince Jin.
