This Concubine Li is indeed not a person who can be taken lightly!
Before Xiao Ruyu could think about what to do next, Nanny Kang took the lead.
"Your Majesty, I have served in the palace for many years. Even when you were born, I was the one who boiled water for you. I am deeply favored by the emperor. How could I do such a thing?"
She spoke righteously, and the wrinkles on her face all showed "integrity", but when Xiao Ruyu took a closer look, she discovered the iconic matchmaker's mole on Aunt Kang's face!
[Bah! So you were the one who made the decision to throw my stinky brother into the mass grave, Aunt Kang! You also paid to lure that old beggar over! Later, Aunt Kang was the one who made my stinky brother enter the palace to be a eunuch! ]
[Youth is innocent, but in order to win the favor of Concubine Li and make her pay attention to you, you come up with those ways to torture me again and again. It's simply shameless! ]
Xiao Ruyu was extremely excited and stopped struggling.
She stared straight at Nanny Kang who was kneeling on the ground, forcing Nanny Kang, who could not hear her words, to lower her head, wondering in her heart why this girl was looking at her like this.
However, Nanny Kang didn't take it seriously as it was just a newborn baby. She then said, "Besides, the little prince was taken away by my servants right after he was born, and Your Majesty only took a quick look at him. May I ask why Your Majesty is so sure that the prince was replaced?"
[This Aunt Kang is really quick to react. She is planning to put the blame on the people around my mother for gossiping about me! ]
"Why, do I have to report to you whether I recognize my own child or not?"
The queen sneered and clenched the sheets tightly under the quilt.
Unexpectedly, she had been confronting Concubine Zhen all along and ignored Concubine Li, this venomous snake!
Emperor Shangwen had already cut Nanny Kang into pieces in his mind. He waved his hand and ordered Eunuch Yin to do his job immediately.
He looked at the queen and asked his doubts: "How did the queen see that?"
Could it be that the queen could also hear her daughter’s thoughts?
"I have a plum blossom birthmark on my back, which is passed down from my mother's family. All children born to my daughter of the Wen family will have this birthmark!"
Picking up Xiao Ruyu, the queen tore open the swaddling clothes that wrapped Xiao Ruyu and revealed the bright red plum blossom on the child's shoulder.
[Oh my, why are you taking my clothes off? What should I do at this moment? A normal baby should cry, right?]
Xiao Ruyu thought about it for a while, then started crying at the top of her lungs, but there was only thunder without any rain.
"Your Majesty, look, the princess has it. As twins, how can the prince not have it?"
The queen cried bitterly, fearing that Emperor Shangwen would not believe her: "Your Majesty, I will not mistake my child. Please check quickly. I am afraid that my son will meet with an unexpected accident!"
The child was crying and the wife was begging. What a sad scene it was.
Even if Emperor Shangwen had not heard the little girl's voice, he would have agreed to order a thorough investigation.
Not to mention that he already knew it, he stepped forward and held the queen in his arms to comfort her.
"Your Majesty, the little prince is a descendant of a true dragon. His royal bloodline is definitely able to suppress mortals like us. Even if he doesn't have a birthmark, it doesn't prove anything."
Upon seeing this, Concubine Li immediately changed direction: "If the emperor wants to order a thorough investigation, then the little prince will be a child whose bloodline will be questioned by your majesty! Your majesty has high hopes for the little prince..."
Upon hearing this, Nanny Kang kowtowed repeatedly: "The Queen has escaped death, so it is inevitable that she is a little confused... I guarantee with my life that the little prince is definitely the Queen's biological child, and no one has done anything to him! Besides, with so many eyes watching, I can't do anything even if I want to!"
The birth of a child by a concubine in the palace is a big deal in itself, not to mention the empress giving birth, which is the top priority, and the guards are twice as strong as usual.
What Nanny Kang said was right. There were many people in the delivery room, and there were countless people staring at the prince as he was being taken to wash and groom.
Even Emperor Shangwen found it absurd when he first heard about the story of the cat replacing the prince.
[Haha, that sounds nice, but isn't the leader of the Imperial Guard a relative of Concubine Li? How could someone who relied on Concubine Li's mother's family not give convenience to the Lu family? ]
Xiao Ruyu said viciously: [You'd better pray that your stinky brother is okay and can be found by both daddy and mommy, otherwise when I grow up, I will personally deal with you, this big bad guy! ]
Emperor Shangwen's eyes darkened and he understood.
It turned out that something went wrong with the command of the Imperial Guards!
"Someone is trying to confuse the royal bloodline, but I am not worried yet. It is rare for you, a palace maid, to be so concerned about the country and the people."
Concubine Li's face suddenly changed. Emperor Shangwen was not talking about Nanny Kang, he was clearly warning her!
Emperor Shangwen said coldly: "Don't worry, if it is really as you said, I will have people search the palace, but they will definitely not find anything."
At this moment, Aunt Kang really wanted to faint.
Search the palace? Emperor Shang Wen actually sent people to search the palace!
Not long after, the palace door was hastily pushed open.
"Your Majesty! I led people to search the palace, and we really found a newly born baby boy in the courtyard where Nanny Kang was!"
Eunuch Yin held a swaddling baby and knelt before the Emperor and Empress, looking terrified.
Oh my God, why was he allowed to take over such a deadly job!
Concubine Li was shocked and realized that Eunuch Yin, who had always been by the emperor's side, was not in the palace!
[My stinky little brother was not sent out of the palace! That’s great! ]
Xiao Ruyu clapped her hands in joy: [Eunuch Yin, you are so awesome! ]
The queen quickly stretched out her hand: "Quick, give me the prince, let me take a look!"
Eunuch Yin quickly stood up and handed the swaddling clothes to the Queen. The Queen took it and directly stripped the child's clothes.
Against the backdrop of the gray clothes, the red plum blossom blooming on the right side of the baby boy's waist was so conspicuous.
The queen heaved a sigh of relief, then hugged her son and daughter and cried bitterly: "My son, my son——"
Amid the Queen's crying, Xiao Ruyu tried to raise her hand and touch her mother's face to comfort her.
[Don’t cry, mother. From now on, the fate of the three of us, mother and son, is that the mother will die in childbirth, the daughter will be abandoned by others, the youngest son will be exiled to the countryside, and the fate of the little prince who will become a beggar...]
【At this moment, it has been completely rewritten! 】
Xiao Ruyu clenched his fists, his face full of fighting spirit.
The queen raised her hand with loving eyes, squeezed and kneaded Xiao Ruyu's small hand, stopping her action.
"Why are you holding on so tightly? Your little hands are so tender. It would be bad if you hurt them."
The queen's daughter's childish voice sounded full of hope.
Yes, their fate was completely changed.
She didn't even dare to think about what her daughter said would happen...
Thinking of Concubine Li, in the corner with her back to everyone, the Queen's eyes were filled with hatred.
She couldn't imagine how much hatred she would feel in the afterlife.
"I really didn't expect that so many problems would happen during this birth. Someone actually tried to replace the prince with a cat!"
Concubine Li patted her chest, looking terrified: "It's really appalling. Fortunately, the little prince is safe... Damn it, this servant who dared to offend the royal family should be dragged out and his entire family executed!"
Concubine Li said that it was not enough and she actually slapped Nanny Kang hard in the face!
Nanny Kang, who was slapped to the ground, had a changed look on her face.
How could she not understand that Concubine Li was going to abandon her as a chess piece!
