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 Nanny Qin's daughter, and the other was Xia Xi's son.
If the prince is of Qin family blood, then he can only be born to Xia Xi, and Xia Xi’s child who was killed and fed to the dogs…”
A Ping covered her lower abdomen and covered her mouth with a handkerchief, her eyes instantly filled with tears.
Since she was a child, A Ping had always felt that there was someone that Qin Ma had been worried about. Later, when she learned the truth, she realized that she was probably worried about her daughter.
Nanny Qin raised me and I have always felt extremely guilty about it.
A Ping knew in her heart that if Nanny Qin had chosen not to expose the matter at the time, Nanny Qin would have been able to accompany her daughter as she grew up and protect her when she got married.
Unexpectedly...
Nanny Qin's daughter died so tragically!
Ah Ping cried and said, "Is Xia Xi's child who was eaten by a dog really Nanny Qin's daughter?"
Qi Yuning said: "Xia Xi's child is the blood of the Qin family. How brave must Yu be to kill the Qin family's child and feed it to the dogs? Even if she hated the maid 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 did she have to 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 be able to survive, 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 this so that not even a bone of the child would be left."
Ah Ping dug her nails into her flesh and said, "After I am out of confinement, I will not let the Qin family get away with it. I will avenge my aunt's daughter."
Qi Yuning said: "Well, now you should take good care of your body and wait for the baby to be 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 recently?"
Lu Ze said, "All the followers of the King of Shu must be convicted and investigated. There are indeed many things to do, but today my grandmother is sick."
"Are you really sick?" Qi Yuning raised his eyes and asked.
Lu Ze said: "He is really sick, otherwise he would not have come to the Qi family for the wedding banquet yesterday."
Qi Yuning did not notice that Madam Lu did not come yesterday. She said, "My brother also said that he would have a meal with everyone in the Lu family in the next two days. Since Madam Lu is ill, let's forget about it."
After Qi Yuning asked the maids to leave, she told Lu Ze about Nanny Qin's daughter, "My brother sent someone to investigate this matter, but I'm afraid he might have alerted the enemy."
Lu Ze comforted him, "Even if we try to alert them, they will never think that Ping is the real princess. There is no need to worry too much. Brother Qi and Ping are also going to North City. We will be able to expose the true identity of the crown prince and the Qin family soon after the child is born."
Qi Yuning sighed and said, "I am afraid that the night will be long and dreams will arise. However, Ping is pregnant now, and it is not time to expose her. If she is falsely accused and imprisoned, it will not be good for the baby 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 heard her mother crying. There was also an old man with a white beard asking 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, you should go back."
Lingling stretched out her hands and threw herself into Lu Ze's arms and said, "Mother said this is also Lingling's home. 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 living with her for half a year, she was reluctant to let Lingling go and didn't want to let her go, but Lingling didn't belong here after all.
If Ping were to expose the Crown Prince, who knows what kind of disturbance would be caused in the court.
Apart from the Crown Prince, there are now six princes. The King of Shu, who was the most capable rival of 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 was quite famous among scholars. His calligraphy and painting 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 of Liao, whose mother, Concubine Wu, was from Liaozhou. When Emperor Shiyuan could ascend the throne, it was inseparable from the strong support of the Liaozhou aristocratic families. Concubine Wu, the mother of Prince of 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 in her fifties 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. We often hear 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 and is no longer alive, but his maternal grandfather left the huge family business to Prince Jin.
Qi Yuning had dealt with King Jin several times in the business world, and it could only be said that King Jin was a complete old fox and no one could get the advantage from him.
The Eighth Prince... Qi Yuning didn't want to think about it anymore, since he was already a useless person.
The ninth prince, Prince Shou, is 27 years old this year. He is a filial and kind-hearted person. He is also a big customer of the Fuyi Clinic. He comes to the Clinic every day to buy medicine for the people. The Prince Shou's Mansion is the poorest and most dilapidated palace in Shengjing.
Qi Yuning used to think that Prince Shou was just putting on a show, but later he realized that he was genuinely kind. Many times when he did good things, he would push the good reputation to the Fuyi Clinic, probably because he was afraid that his good reputation would cause trouble. However, Prince Shou was also very popular among the people because of this.
Except for the eighth prince, each of these six princes is a strong candidate for the crown prince. If the throne finally falls on little Zhao Jie, who knows how big the turmoil will be in the court.
It’s time for Lingling to go back, back to the prosperous era five years later when the overall situation has been determined.
"Lingling, it's time for you to leave. Go back five years later."
Lingling asked: "How can Lingling go back five years later? Why should she go back five years later? Will Lingling grow up in five years? Will mother go back with Lingling?"
Qi Yuning nodded and said, "Lingling will grow up when she goes back. There will be a mother and a father who love Lingling more."
"How do we get back?" Lingling asked. "Lingling doesn't know how to get back."
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze, and Lu Ze shook his head.
They didn't know how Lingling got here, let alone how she could go back.
Lu Ze touched Lingling's head and said, "Lingling, go to sleep first. Who knows, maybe Lingling will go back when she wakes up."
