Chapter 239 Birthmark
Yun Xiangye saw the change in the Princess Chu's expression, so she stepped forward to support her and said, "Second aunt, please sit in my room for a while. Yin Liu, please invite the girls from the Prince Chu's mansion to have tea and entertain them well."
Yinliu looked at Yun Xiangye's eyes and instantly understood what was going on. She asked a few maids to go to the small house nearby.
Yun Xiangye also had to be on guard against the maids around Princess Chu.
After all, seeing the Princess of Chu's appearance, it was clear that she knew nothing about what Zhao Jing had done. Unless the maids around the Princess of Chu were on guard, it was impossible for the Princess of Chu to not hear any news about this important court event.
Yun Xiangye helped the Princess of Chu into the hall of Qingfeng Garden.
Princess Chu stared at Zhu Ting blankly. She walked up to him and asked, "Do you have a red birthmark like a small peach blossom on your left arm?"
Zhu Ting shook his head and said, "No birthmark."
Princess Chu clenched the handkerchief in her hand and asked, "Is there really no birthmark?"
Chen Qing said, "There is no birthmark, but there is a scar from a candle burn. It is said that when my husband was still an infant, the maid burned him with lamp oil. It is a very large scar, right here on the left arm."
Princess Chu asked, "Can I take a look?"
Zhu Ting said nothing.
Shen Qing made the decision for him immediately and went forward to untie his clothes.
Yun Xiangye turned around when she saw this.
When the Princess of Chu saw the scar on Zhu Ting’s left arm, her eyes suddenly turned red and she said, “It’s right here, right here. I should have believed Xiangxiang and investigated carefully. I was so foolish. I thought Xiangxiang was just talking nonsense when she was young. Child, I am so sorry for you. I actually lost you for twenty-four years… I really…”
Princess Chu cried and slapped herself hard, "I shouldn't have disbelieved Xiangxiang."
Yun Xiangye heard the crying of Princess Chu and said hurriedly, "Second aunt, this is not your fault."
Zhu Ting put on his clothes. He looked at the Princess of Chu and said, "My Lady Princess, is there a misunderstanding here? After all, you are the Princess of Chang'an City, and my parents have never set foot in Chang'an City."
For Zhu Ting, this matter was a little too difficult to accept for a while.
Princess Chu cried and said, "There is no misunderstanding. I gave birth to my child in Yongxing City. At that time, I happened to meet a girl from the Zhu family who came to deliver wine to my restaurant. I fell that day and gave birth two months prematurely.
The midwife I had chosen lived two streets away from my restaurant. Of the two maids beside me, one hurried to ask for the midwife, while the other wanted to stay with me. Miss Zhu said that giving birth was a matter of seven to eight chances of survival, so she asked my maid to go and ask for a doctor.
I was worried and didn't take precautions, but I was thankful that Miss Zhu helped me to give birth to a child safely."
Recalling the past, Princess Chu felt that she was really stupid.
Yun Xiangye asked curiously, "You mean the girl from the Zhu family replaced your child?"
Princess Chu nodded and said, "After I gave birth to the child, I was so tired that I fell asleep. When I woke up, Xiangxiang told me that the flower on my brother's arm was gone. I thought Xiangxiang was talking nonsense.
But Xiangxiang is absolutely sure that when her brother was born, there was a flower on this part of his left arm..."
Princess Chu couldn't help but burst into tears and said, "I never thought that the Zhu family would come to exchange my child. Why did they want to exchange my child..."
Princess Chu now thinks that there were indeed many things that were wrong back then. For example, when Zhao Jing was a child, everyone said that he did not look like a premature baby.
It looks more like a full-term baby.
Princess Chu remembered that not long after she gave birth to her child, the young lady of the Zhu family also gave birth to a child, and she never suspected anything.
Princess Chu really didn't understand, "I was just the owner of a restaurant at that time, why did they want to exchange my child?"
Yun Xiangye comforted the Princess of Chu and said, "Second aunt, don't be too sad. Go to Yongxing City and ask them why they wanted to exchange your child. Fortunately, God has a good will and allowed you and your child to be reunited."
The Princess of Chu looked at the Zhu Ting in front of her, hating herself for her carelessness at that time, but who could have thought that someone would set his sights on her son?
Chen Qing signaled Zhu Ting with his eyes to say a few words of comfort to Princess Chu, but Zhu Ting didn't even know what to say.
Yun Xiangye asked Run'er to invite the eldest princess over, and she just stood by to comfort the Princess of Chu.
Xie Zhixuan got the news and came to Qingfeng Garden quickly. When she entered and saw Zhu Ting's appearance, she was slightly stunned.
"Ah Xuan." When Princess Chu saw Xie Zhixuan coming, she cried with regret, "I was really stupid and foolish. I actually let my own son wander around for 24 years. I feel sorry for my child."
When Xie Zhixuan saw Zhu Ting's appearance, she knew that what Princess Chu said was true. There was no need to ask for evidence. This face was the best evidence. But she was still afraid of the possibility: "Are you sure he is your child?"
Princess Chu nodded and said, "He is my child. When Xiangxiang was young, she always said that there was a flower on her brother's left arm. Although there is a burn scar on his left arm, it is in the same position as the flower Xiangxiang pointed out..."
Xie Zhixuan hugged Princess Chu and comforted her, "Don't be sad for now. It's worth being happy that your child has returned and you and your son have recognized each other."
Princess Chu looked at Zhu Ting, her eyes full of guilt, "But I treated him badly for twenty-four years. I hated the Xu family for losing me for more than ten years, and now I have lost my own child for twenty-four years. I am really sorry for him."
Xie Zhixuan said: "This is not your fault. If anyone should be blamed, it should be the King of Chu. If he had not behaved like a human being at that time, he would not have let you go to Yongxing City alone to give birth to the child. Don't blame yourself too much. It's good that the child is back. It's good that he is back."
Chen Qing was angry that her husband didn't say a word, so she helped Zhu Ting and said, "Princess, don't be too sad. You can't blame anyone else for this. I am also a mother, and I know the difficulties of giving birth. No one would have thought that a thief would come to replace their child. My husband will not blame you, but the evil person who replaced him!"
Zhu Ting listened to Chen Qing's words and nodded.
Xie Zhixuan glanced at Chen Qing and smiled at her, "You are Xiangye's good friend, right?"
Yun Xiangye said to Chen Qing: "This is my mother-in-law, Princess Sheng Zhao."
Chen Qing bowed repeatedly and said, "Chen Qing greets the eldest princess."
Xie Zhixuan said: "No need to be polite."
Xie Zhixuan patted the heartbroken Princess Chu's hand and said, "Chen Qing is right. You can't be blamed entirely for this. Fortunately, mother and son have recognized each other now. It's also a blessing. This child is obviously the blood of the King of Chu. We should inform His Majesty to return the throne of the King of Chu to... What's your name?"
Zhu Ting said: "My name is Zhu Ting."
"The throne of the Prince of Chu should be returned to Ting'er." Xie Zhixuan said, "As for Jing'er..."
Xie Zhixuan didn't say anything more and just looked at the Princess of Chu.
Princess Chu said: "You can't blame Jing'er for this. I've raised him for twenty-four years, and they have developed feelings for each other. Let him be brothers with Ting'er. My child, come with me back to the Chu Palace to see your father..."
Yun Xiangye said, "Second aunt, Zhu Ting and Shen Qing cannot follow you back to the Chu Palace for the time being."
