Chapter 303, Ruyun's Identity
Qing Sheng ran all the way with the man in her arms.
Without even taking a breath, she ran straight to the main courtyard of the palace.
When Liu Wan looked up again, she saw a shy girl rushing in with a disheveled man in her arms.
Qing Sheng put Jing Er on the ground.
Jing Er looked at Qing Sheng with a pale face in disbelief.
Such a shy and weak girl actually has such great strength!
What a wonderful woman!
"Princess."
Jing Er wanted to salute, but because it was inconvenient to do it with one hand, Qing Sheng stopped her.
Liu Wan glanced at his injured arm and asked, "Is it better?"
"Much better, it's just a piece of flesh lost, no harm to life, at most a scar is left. As a secret guard, it's normal to have scars on your body, don't worry, princess. By the way, why did the princess call me here?"
Jing Er asked.
Liu Wan frowned slightly, "Do you know the identity of Lord Ruyun in the mansion?"
"I deserve to die!"
Jing Er's pupils shrank suddenly, and he knelt down in front of Liu Wan.
The princess came to ask him today, it must be that the prince has not had time to tell the princess this.
Moreover, it must be Ruyun who made things difficult for the princess.
As a subordinate, he can't deny the blame.
"It's not your fault, tell me the identity and situation of that person in detail!" Liu Wan asked Qing Sheng to help him up.
At this time,
Wangxia came in trotting, "Princess, Manager Deng is here!"
Liu Wan said calmly, "It's too hot outside, let him wait outside!"
"Yes!" Wangxia suddenly understood what Liu Wan meant, and hurriedly jumped out again.
Liu Wan looked at Jing Er, "Tell me, what is the identity of Lady Ruyun?"
"This has to start with the story of the prince's biological mother."
"The prince's biological mother is the younger sister of the ruler of Donglin State, and was sent to marry into the Great Xia Dynasty!"
"In the third year after the birth of the prince, the fact that the prince's biological mother had poisoned the late emperor was exposed, but the late emperor was sentimental and did not execute the princess. Instead, he sent the princess and her son to the cold palace." "
At that time, the princess had a ten-year-old servant girl by her side. She was named Ruyun and was only eight years older than the prince. She was loyal to the princess. Even in the cold palace, she tried her best to take care of the daily life of the princess and her son."
"Later, people from Donglin Kingdom sneaked into the cold palace, planning to attack the late emperor at his birthday banquet and kill him with one blow!"
"But the late emperor was very skilled in martial arts. Before that, Donglin Kingdom asked the princess to cooperate and lure the late emperor to the cold palace so that they could secretly give him a muscle softener, which would make him lose his internal strength for a while!"
"The princess seemed to have some true feelings for the late emperor, so she pretended to agree, and then asked Ruyun to send a message to the late emperor and tell him the plan!"
"Ruyun was gone for three days."
"When the late emperor learned about it and hurried to the cold palace, the princess had already hanged herself."
"Before she died, she left a will, telling everything she had done, hoping that the late emperor would spare Ruyun and the little prince's lives!"
"The late emperor was heartbroken. He wanted to take the prince out of the cold palace, but was forced by court officials to eradicate the bloodline of Donglin!"
"In order to protect the prince, the late emperor could only reluctantly let him stay in the cold palace for some time. He thought Ruyun would take good care of the prince."
"But I didn't expect that the prince was almost frozen to death. If it weren't for you..."
Later, it was Liu Wan who led her aunt and Concubine Ling to go there.
Concubine Ling begged the late emperor to give the child to her for raising.
The late emperor had a position of power, and Concubine Ling's mother's family was an important official in the court, so he did not object and agreed.
However, before the adoption, the court officials forced the late emperor to decide on the candidate for the crown prince in advance to cut off any possibility of Xia Siheng's succession!
The late emperor decided that the current emperor would be the crown prince.
After hearing this, Liu Wan felt very upset. She asked, "Where was Ruyun during the days when the prince was almost frozen to death?"
If she was so loyal, why did she take three days to deliver
a message to the late emperor? Where did she go during those three days?
And where was she on the day when Xia Siheng was almost frozen to death?
These made Liu Wan feel uneasy.
Could it be that Ruyun had betrayed her?
"I don't know where she went. Anyway, the late emperor spared her life based on the princess' last wish. Later, when the prince was crowned as a king, the late emperor assigned her to the Ninth Prince's Mansion to take care of the prince's food and daily life.
" "He called her Sir because he followed the old rules and gave her the title of a female official in the inner house."
"And the prince, who always remembered Ruyun's care for him when he was a child, had no objection and let her manage the palace."
"But later, Ruyun made more and more requests to the prince. She seemed to have been trying to provoke hatred between the prince and Daxia, and wanted the prince to return to Donglin to see her own uncle!"
"The prince never paid any attention to it, because he had already regarded Concubine Ling as his mother and the current royal family as his own home."
"But he couldn't do anything to Ruyun. First, Ruyun took care of him when he was a child, and there was a little affection left for him."
"Second, Ruyun was left by the previous emperor, and the whole Ninth Prince's Mansion knew about it. The prince was also in a dilemma and could only avoid her!"
"Last night at midnight, the prince asked his subordinates to check whether there was anything wrong with the glass of wine that Princess Ximing drank, otherwise the princess would not have lost control of her emotions. I think the prince couldn't tolerate Ruyun after this incident."
Jing Er told the story in detail.
I don't know if the princess is looking for him now because of this.
After listening to this, Liu Wan clenched her fists.
"Wanwan rarely has nightmares. It turns out that someone attacked Wanwan! And in public!"
Damn it!
What is her purpose in doing this?
"Princess, I have a bold guess. Ruyun doesn't know that Princess Ximing is the prince's biological daughter, so she wants Princess Ximing to get emotional and out of control, so that the prince will dislike her!" Jing Er analyzed.
Liu Wan was stunned.
Thinking of her daughter's nightmare, she suddenly connected the dots.
A chill ran down her spine!
"Jing Er, did the prince ask you to say these?" Liu Wan asked.
Jing Er nodded, "The prince said that no matter what the princess asks, answer truthfully!"
Liu Wan closed her eyes, then slowly opened them. ιΙйＧyuτΧＴ.Йet
"Let Qingsheng take you back!"
"No need, princess, my legs and feet are fine." Jing Er glanced at Qingsheng cautiously. The scene just now made him feel uneasy for a long time.
He didn't want to be carried back by this girl again.
It was so weird for a man to be carried back by a weak girl!
He retreated silently.
Qing Sheng was more concerned about her parents. She asked Liu Wan, "Princess, what should we do next? My parents haven't come back yet."
Liu Wan thought for a moment and said, "I'll go out with you to see your parents first. It would be best if everything is fine."
After a while, they came back together and arranged a small courtyard for Qing Da to live in.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to plan what to do next.
Qing Sheng knew that the princess was going to support their family, so she nodded vigorously. She
went to prepare the carriage.
Liu Wan sighed and went back to the house to see what Xia Siheng was planning.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw the man sitting on a soft stool. When he met her eyes, he
hurriedly hid the things in his hands behind his back.
Liu Wan saw the needlework basket in front of him and asked in confusion,
"What did the prince hide?"
