Chapter 2: My little brother is in danger



The queen burst into tears again. She could feel that her daughter was not lying to her.

She really came back to life.

[Hehe, it really works. Mom won't die! ]

Xiao Ruyu felt proud in her heart, but then she became distressed.

[But how do you explain this? My mother seemed hopeless to outsiders, but she suddenly came back to life. Will she be caught as a monster?]

Seeing that his daughter was worried about this, Emperor Shangwen quickly leaned over, took out the pills he usually used to clear his mind and feed them to the empress.

The queen could not avoid it, and only felt a hint of coolness entering her throat, which melted in her mouth, leaving only a mouth full of coolness and a clear mind.

"I have already used medicine to keep the Queen alive. Go and get Doctor Yang!"

Emperor Shangwen gave a stern order, and the palace servants did not dare to delay and hurried to call for the imperial physician.

As for why the queen, who was originally on the verge of death, suddenly became energetic and vigorous, I just thought that the royal family had a secret medicine that could bring the dead back to life, and I didn't dare to ask more questions.

[Wow, it turns out that daddy loves mom so much! Daddy gave mom the life-saving stuff. My parents have such a good relationship. I don’t have to worry even if I was born in a royal family. Hehe!]

The Queen was surprised that what she heard from her daughter was not an illusion. She was then extremely moved and looked at Emperor Shangwen.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty would be willing to give her such a precious medicine...

Although she was rescued by her daughter, the kindness was enough to make her happy.

"Don't be afraid Queen, everything will be fine."

The queen could not hear her daughter's voice, and probably thought that it was the "life-saving medicine" he fed her that saved her, so she was grateful to him.

Emperor Shangwen felt a little guilty. He thought that as the emperor, he had to claim the credit for his daughter's achievements. He felt really ashamed.

"Thank you, Your Majesty... Look, our daughter is so beautiful."

The queen regained her strength and raised her hand to touch Xiao Ruyu's fair and tender face. She was extremely happy with this delicate and pretty daughter.

Xiao Ruyu also liked this beautiful mother. He tried hard to pull the corners of his mouth and smile widely to express his love for his mother.

[Looking at it this way, it's not a problem for me to look like my mother. My mother is so pretty! ]

Xiao Ruyu was laughing, but suddenly froze when he thought of his brother whom he had never met.

She screamed in her heart: [It’s over, it’s over, I was so busy saving my mother that I forgot about my stinky brother! ]

Emperor Shangwen and the Empress were both startled by their daughter's scream. Their expressions remained unchanged, but their eyes were fixed on Xiao Ruyu.

Brother? Isn't that the little prince being cleaned by the wet nurse?

[This is over. I remember that my biological brother was just born when Concubine Li replaced him with a weak and sickly baby! ]

[Yao Guanzi has a bad temper. After Concubine Li got the custody, she pretended to be nice to him. The Emperor, his father, loved him especially because of his mother's old relationship. His mother's family also loved him like the apple of their eye! ]

[In the end, he didn't appreciate it. Even when he was as weak as a slag, he still forced the palace maid to ruin the reputation of the Queen's son. In the end, he even teamed up with Concubine Li to frame my grandfather's family as traitors! ]

Hearing this, the queen gritted her teeth in hatred.

How could this be?

But then again, if her daughter hadn't saved her, her father and mother would have loved her dearly after losing her...

Thinking of this, the queen looked at Xiao Ruyu with a little anxiety.

What about her poor son? What would happen to him if he was replaced out of the palace?

[My biological brother was thrown into a mass grave right after leaving the palace and was picked up by an old beggar. He was reduced from a prince to a little beggar... In order to bury the old beggar, he was forced to sell himself and was deliberately arranged by Concubine Li to be a eunuch in the palace. I worked under Concubine Li and poisoned the domineering eldest princess, his biological sister, with my own hands! ]

Emperor Shangwen's tongue twitched and he almost shouted "absurd" out loud.

How can this be so ridiculous?

The twins born to the queen were actually plotted against to the point of fratricide!

Xiao Ruyu was getting so anxious: [According to the time, my stinky little brother has already been replaced. I don’t know which palace maid’s room he is hiding in, waiting to be thrown out of the palace! ]

The queen's hands hidden under the quilt suddenly clenched the sheets and her eyes widened in disbelief.

Is her prince going to be replaced now?

No, no! How could she watch them being torn apart?

"Your Majesty, how come it's been so long and I still haven't seen the prince?"

The queen bit her lip and tried her best to make her voice sound less excited.

She couldn't show any abnormality, otherwise if someone noticed, the emperor's life would be in danger!

Emperor Shangwen had been planning to order a thorough investigation, but when the Empress brought it up, he immediately raised his hand and called for Eunuch Yin.

"The Queen wants to see the little prince. Go and ask the nurse to bring the prince here!"

Xiao Ruyu's eyes lit up: "Look at the fake's back! There's no plum blossom birthmark like mother's, you can tell at a glance! Twins have it, mine is on my shoulder, the fake doesn't have it!"

The queen's eyes lit up. She was still thinking about how to question the baby's identity, but she didn't expect her daughter to tell her directly!

Not long after, Eunuch Yin came back with the wet nurse, followed by Doctor Yang who also arrived quickly.

"Let me hug the emperor first!"

The queen had no time to respond to the imperial physician and struggled to get up and hug the "prince".

As a result, her trembling body was supported by strong arms, and Emperor Shangwen patted her back to comfort her.

"Don't worry, Queen. I'll bring her to you."

Emperor Shangwen looked gentle and patient, but there was an icy coldness in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, the little prince is tired from crying and has fallen asleep."

The wet nurse handed the "prince" to Emperor Shangwen in a flattering manner.

As soon as he held her in his arms, Emperor Shangwen pretended to weigh her and casually praised her: "She is much sturdier than the princess."

Then, he frowned and asked, "Did the emperor urinate?"

Without waiting for the wet nurse to react, Emperor Shangwen placed the baby on the bed and directly tore open the swaddling clothes and turned the baby over.

——There really was no birthmark on the baby’s body!

No one expected Emperor Shangwen to do this, but it was just like someone giving you a pillow when you’re sleepy.

[Yes, mother, please take a quick look. This counterfeit is fake! Find out it’s fake quickly! ]

Xiao Ruyu twisted and turned around beside the queen, using all her strength to twist her small body until she was almost twisted into a knot.

The queen felt as if something was stuck in her throat, and she said sadly, "Your Majesty! This is not my son. Someone has replaced my son!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the blood drained from the face of the wet nurse who had brought the prince in, and she fell to her knees.

"Your Majesty! When the little prince was born, he was washed and dressed by me personally. There is no way he could have been replaced by anyone!"

Nanny Kang raised her voice and the door suddenly opened. A tender voice asked in surprise, "Your Majesty, why was the little prince replaced for no reason?"

Her hair was neatly tied, she looked extremely charming, and her red lips were slightly parted. It was none other than Concubine Li.

Concubine Li ran quickly to Emperor Shang Wen and said, "This is a serious matter, but is there any misunderstanding?"

"It's definitely a misunderstanding! Your Majesty, this is about the heir to the throne. If something goes wrong, you'll lose your head. How dare this servant be careless?"

Nanny Kang immediately responded that she had accepted benefits and guarantees from Concubine Li, which was why she dared to do such a life-threatening thing.

Now I don’t know why the matter was exposed, but in order to save my life, I can only insist that it never happened.

Concubine Li said worriedly, "That's right. The Queen was dying after giving birth to the prince. She never saw the little prince. Now that your Majesty has protected her, she is safe. It is obvious that someone has ulterior motives and made up such absurd things to provoke the Queen and kill her!"

The one in the palace who had a feud with the Queen was the daughter of General Zhenyuan, the True Concubine.

Xiao Ruyu figured out the key point almost instantly: [This Li Fei, actually decided to pass the blame to the real concubine so quickly, could it be that she had already prepared for being discovered, ready to kill two birds with one stone? ]
