"My lady, please believe her. She really won't hurt you. Not only that, she will be even better to you."

Qingxi turned around in surprise, and saw Liuying, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, walking out from the darkness.

In the dim moonlight, Concubine Xi squinted her eyes and looked over there. It would have been fine if she hadn't looked, but she was so frightened that she staggered and almost fell.

Fortunately, Qingxi supported her in time: "My lady, are you okay?"

Xiya ignored her and stared straight at the woman in black who was slowly walking towards her. She stared at her without blinking, fearing that the person in front of her would disappear in the blink of an eye.

Probably to confirm the authenticity of the person in front of her, she walked forward step by step with red eyes, until she felt the temperature of a living person, she asked with a trembling and choked voice.

"Liu, Liu Ying, Yingzi, is it really you? Yingzi? You are not dead? You are really not dead?"

Liuying stepped forward, held Xiya's hand tightly, and nodded to her with tears in her eyes.

"Thank you for your concern, my lady. This is Liuying's blessing. Liuying is fine. She is not dead and is alive and well. Look, I am here, am I not?"

“God bless you, God bless you. Poor you four. I thought only Ruyan survived, but I didn’t expect that you are alive too. I believe Yun Ge’s spirit in heaven will be very happy. Good, it’s great!”

Xiya was so excited that she couldn't stop crying. Liuying had to comfort her to make her stop crying. When she realized Shangguan Qingxi was there, she pulled the two of them to the table and sat down.

"What's going on? Why did you come in with Miss Shangguan? Do you know each other?"

When Xiya broke down and cried, Qingxi had already made eye contact with Liuying. Now when she asked this, Liuying looked at Xiya with a smile.

"My Lady, not only do I know him, you know him too. Maybe you can't recognize him now, but believe me, you will know it soon."

Xiya frowned slightly, "What are you talking about? I know him? I obviously don't know him!"

Liu Ying shook her head gently, "No, Madam, you know her. You and her mother are close friends, very good friends, and the only sisters in the world. Tell me, do you know her?"

Xiya was stunned for a moment, turned around with a stiff neck, and stared at Shangguan Qingxi.

After looking at her for a long time, she found some familiar lines on Shangguan Qingxi's face in the dim candlelight, and she couldn't help but gasp.

"How is this possible? How is this possible?"

In her entire life, Xiya had only one good sister, and this good sister gave birth to a son, and this son is now dead.

But now Liuying came and told her that she actually had a daughter?

How is this possible?

This is absolutely impossible.

Because of this, Xiya even looked at Liuying with suspicion.

"No, you are not Liuying. Who are you? Who are you? Who sent you here? Qiu Zhen? It must be her, right?"

Seeing that Xiya was becoming more and more excited and was about to explode at any time, Liuying immediately stepped forward and held Xiya's hand tightly.

"My lady, calm down. Have you forgotten that when my master died, she was already eight months pregnant."

"In fact, the truth is not that there are two dead as you saw, but that the queen has been waiting for me, waiting for me to come over."

"The Emperor thought the Queen was dead, but the Queen was a doctor and knew that she was pregnant. How could she have stabbed her child to death?"

"No matter how cruel your Majesty is, she cannot let a baby that is already fully formed and will be born in two months die with her!"

"She held on to her last breath and tried her best to save the child."

"When I went there, the master's blood had already been drained, but she had gathered all her strength into the little princess."

"So, the little princess survived. She survived."

Isn't it one body and two lives? Is Du Yunge's child still alive?

Xiya's tears flowed more and more violently. She stroked Shangguan Qingxi's face with trembling hands, carefully and seriously.

"You are Ge'er's daughter? Is this true? Is this true?"

She tried hard to open her eyes, wanting to see Qingxi's face clearly, but the more she looked, the faster her tears flowed, so much so that in the end, she pushed her away.

"No, this is impossible. You are lying to me. She has bled to death. How could the child still be alive?"

"Impossible, this face is only two or three points similar, you are not, you are definitely not, you are in cahoots with me, right?"

"Tell me, what is your purpose? What is it?"

Liuying was startled by her crying. Before calling someone over, Qingxi slowly took out a jade pendant from her arms and gently placed it in Xiya's hand.

"My lady, this is the jade pendant that my mother wore. I'm sure you recognize it. It's not that my face doesn't look like her, but it's because it looks too much like her that I tampered with it."

"It will take several months to restore its original appearance. We will not lie to you, madam. There is no reason. Why should we lie to you? If madam does not believe it, time will prove everything."

Xiya looked at the familiar white jade pendant in her hand. It felt warm to the touch, and had the word "cloud" clearly engraved on it.

This was put on Yun Ge by her mother when she was born.

It can be said that this was a birthday gift given to Du Yunge by her mother. She also had a similar jade pendant.

There are only two of them in the world, and there will definitely not be a third one. Could it be that she is really Yun Ge’s daughter?

Liuying couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that she had believed it to some extent.

"My lady, when the young lady of the Shangguan Mansion was born, she was born with congenital deficiencies. After we got the news, we specially sent someone to take the child away. We originally wanted to exchange their identities, but we didn't expect that the child didn't live for more than a hundred days."

"So, the young lady naturally became the eldest lady of the Shangguan Mansion, and we have been guarding the little princess all these years."

"Now that she's grown up and has her own ideas, she wants to stand out in this way in order to enter the palace."

"She was very excited when she saw you yesterday because you are her aunt, her only aunt. She pities you and wants you to live well."

"That's why we took the risk to come here tonight. Madam, we are sincere..."

When Wen Xiya heard this, her original doubts disappeared in an instant.

"Yun Ge, Qing Xi, Xi Er, my good child, I've made you suffer. I'm sorry. It's all my fault. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have misunderstood you. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Please forgive me, please,"

"Aunt, don't say anymore. Qingxi understands everything. She understands it very well. Don't worry. Leave your illness to me. I promise that you will recover as before. As for your second brother's illness, I can also treat it if you believe in me."

"Silly child, your second brother is fine. It's just that my mother and I don't want to compete for favor. We just want to spend the rest of our lives in peace."

"So, he had no choice but to hide his edge and become a silly child. Although silly people are always bullied, fortunately we are not a threat, so he can grow up safely."

"If you have a chance, you two should meet each other. It's a pity for your brother, he..."

"Aunt, the past is the past. Let's not think about it for now. Your first priority is to get well. Only when you are well can my second brother be truly relieved, and my mother's spirit in heaven will also be smiling in her grave."

Xiya cried with joy, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Liuying, you've worked hard these years. I thank you on behalf of Ge'er. If it weren't for you, how could this child be here today?"

"This is what I should do. If it weren't for the Empress's rescue, how could I, Liu Ying, be where I am today? My life was given by the Empress, so it is only natural for me to do this..."

While Liuying and Xiya were chatting casually, Qingxi had already done a thorough examination of Xiya. After the examination, she was so distressed that she burst into tears.

"My queen, how did you survive all these years? Not only do you have palpitations, you also have high blood lipids, high blood sugar, and high blood pressure. Even your legs and feet are not in good condition. Because of years of depression, your mental state is not good either. How old are you? How do you have so many complications?"

"Do you know? If you don't take good care of yourself, you will be in danger at any time!"

Facing Qingxi's concern, Xiya waved her hand nonchalantly, "Oh, it's okay, I'm used to it. But what Mo said seems to be different from what the imperial physician said. Girl, these professional terms sound very serious. How about it? How many years can I live?"

"Pooh, pooh, pooh, what do you mean by a few years? I personally diagnosed your pulse, how could you only live a few years? You will live to be a hundred years old, you will definitely live to be a hundred years old, don't worry, with Xi'er here, all problems are not a problem, I will make sure you can hold your grandson in your arms and live out your life in peace."

"Haha, live a hundred years, isn't that an old witch? No, no, as long as I can live another ten years, I'll have enough, really enough, my good child, thank you, auntie, thank you, you gave me the courage to live, don't worry, from now on, I will listen to you, I will do whatever you tell me to do, how about it?"

Qingxi nodded with tears in her eyes, but she was worried because of what Xiya had just said casually: "You said, my diagnosis is different from those of the imperial doctors?"

Xiya's eyes flickered slightly. How could she not understand Qingxi's meaning? She immediately shook her head indifferently.

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I know the condition of my body. Living one more day is a gain. As for those people..."

"Aunt, can you show me the prescription and the residue of the medicine you took?"

Does this mean we should pursue this matter to the end?

Xiya didn't want to trouble her, but Qingxi didn't intend to let her go. "Aunt, Qingxi didn't care about how you lived before, but now that I'm here, I naturally can't let you live that kind of life and endure that kind of pain. Do you believe Qingxi? If you believe Qingxi, just give your body to me completely, how about it?"

Liu Ying understood the meaning of her words, "Miss, are you thinking...?"

Qingxi nodded, "My entry into the palace this time was not simple. Since I'm here, how can I leave without any gain? Don't worry, aunt, I will report to the Queen Mother tomorrow and let Qingxi treat you. You are only in your early thirties, how can you spend the rest of your life soaking in medicine jars? Even if you are willing, you have to think about whether your second brother is willing or not, right?"

Qingxi's words made Xiya feel a little embarrassed, "Silly child, who doesn't want to live a good life? But how can we live easily?"

Qingxi held Xiya's hand tightly, her eyes bright: "Aunt, although it is difficult to live, there are too many concerns when you die. Do you want to leave this world with regrets?"

For Yu Xiya, she's probably thinking about more than just the Second Prince, right?

"Aunt, Qingxi wants to avenge my mother. Can you help Qingxi?"

Xiya was so shocked by her powerful words that she was stunned at the time. After a long time, she let out a breath.

"Your mother's death has always been a hurdle in your aunt's heart that she can't get over. Over the years, every time I wake up in the middle of the night, I dream of that day. Tell me, how great would it be if your aunt had gone with her that day? In this way, we mother and son wouldn't have to live like this anymore."

For so many years, she has been soaking in medicine jars all day long. Even though she lives a semi-secluded life, there are still people who are unwilling to let her and her son go.

Life like this would be better off just dying.

But she couldn't, she still had her parents' home, she still had the Duke's Mansion, and she still had her son.

She couldn't just die like that, otherwise who would protect her son?

The Queen Mother will eventually grow old, and it will be more reassuring for them to rely on themselves than on the Emperor.

In the past, she had been burdened by illness and had no desire to have children, but now...

Qingxi's words shocked her and suddenly made her feel that all these years had been lived in vain.

"Kid, what do you want to do?"

After a moment, she lowered her head and held Qingxi's hand tightly.

Qingxi curled her lips slightly and put Xiya's hand on her slightly cold cheek: "My queen, you don't need to do anything. You just need to keep this life and wait patiently."

She wanted Xiya to watch, watch with her own eyes, how she ended Wei Yuchen's life.

"Xi'er, please don't do anything stupid. That man is your father after all. Moreover, he is the ruler of a country. It is not that easy for him to..."

Qingxi sneered, "If it were any other identity, it would be even more difficult, but Madam, have you forgotten that Qingxi has another identity? I am his daughter, haha, maybe you can't see it now, but sooner or later, I will make him look at me once and never forget me. When that time comes, haha..."

Whatever she wants to do, isn't it easy for her to achieve it?

The most important thing is that the reason why she chose to go in and out of the palace was that she wanted to arouse the vigilance of this suspicious person.

She wanted him to see her and succeed in arousing his interest.

The more interested he was in her, the more she wanted him to fall badly.

Wei Yuchen, twelve years ago, could you have expected that twelve years later, there would be people who would want to gnaw on your flesh and drink your blood in order to survive?

"Xi'er," Xiya clearly saw the ferocious fluctuations on Qingxi's face. She tried to steady her thoughts, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say them.

Because she found that she had no reason to persuade, so what should she persuade?

What had Wei Yuchen done was worthy of her pleading for him?

Qingxi naturally understood Xiya's current position. She was not like her. If she was full, the whole family would not be hungry. But Xiya was different. She still had a son and her parents' family. If she was not careful, she might end up like the Du family.

That was not her ultimate goal, so, no matter what, she couldn't implicate her.

"Your Highness, it's getting late. You should go to bed early. Qingxi will leave first. Tomorrow, I will explain everything to the Queen Mother. By then, I hope you can cooperate with me and not refuse. Take good care of yourself and recover your health as soon as possible. Okay?"

Xiya nodded with tears in her eyes. "Thank you, thank you, child. However, you still have to keep quiet. You are new here, how can you attract other people's attention for me? Auntie will tell her about this matter. Do you understand?"

Qingxi thought about it and nodded obediently, "That's fine, I'll trouble you, auntie."

"You silly child, go back quickly!"

Xiya wiped the tears from her face and urged Qingxi to leave. Just as they were about to open the door, Xiya suddenly thought of something and grabbed her hand.

"Um, that beautiful lady, is there any relationship between you and me?"

Qingxi was slightly stunned, then laughed out loud, "Aunt is as considerate as ever. Maybe it was related in the past, but since she got pregnant, everything is out of my control, so she has been abandoned."

Xiya didn't seem surprised by the result, and Qingxi's frank words made her feel warm in her heart.

"Good boy, I get it. You did the right thing. Be careful in the future."

Qingxi nodded, and together with Liuying, they turned around and jumped away into the darkness.

Xiya returned to her room, but could no longer sleep. All that echoed in her mind were the details of the past twelve years.

She kept murmuring, "Qingxi, Yunge..."

After a sleepless night, Xiya appeared in Ningsheng Palace early the next morning as expected, and even vomited blood in front of all the concubines.

When Qingxi was called to Xiya to feel her pulse, she couldn't help but be shocked by the cruel methods of her aunt.

She thought that she would use some means to keep her by her side, but she didn't expect that she would be so cruel to her and forced her to vomit blood!

After all, she was her niece. When Empress Dowager Wen saw Xiya's condition, she immediately became angry and called the imperial physician who was responsible for treating Concubine Xi to her side for questioning.

Concubine Xi dragged her sick body and did not forget to plead with the imperial physician: "Empress Dowager, this matter is not the fault of Imperial Physician Zhang. He, he has tried his best. Ahem, this is an old illness of mine. I'm afraid, I'm afraid it can't be cured..."

Queen Mother Wen looked at Wen Xiya, who looked like she was dying, and felt a tightness in her chest. Suddenly, she couldn't breathe. Ruyan was so scared that she hurriedly called her, "Miss Qingxi, hurry up, come and see the Queen Mother, hurry up!"

Qingxi originally came to the palace to see Empress Gong, so on days like this, she naturally needed to be present.

At this critical moment, Ruyan instinctively called the only person who was studying medicine.

On this point, others could not see any flaws.

Qingxi inserted a few needles steadily, and Empress Dowager Wen finally recovered. She looked at Xiya and kept shedding tears.

She found an opportunity, knelt down in front of Empress Dowager Wen and recommended herself.

"If the Empress Dowager trusts Qingxi, why not let this servant examine Concubine Xi?"

Empress Dowager Wen turned her head away blankly, and when her eyes focused on Qingxi, she belatedly remembered.

"Aren't you focusing on gynecological emergencies, little girl? Why? Xiya's illness is also gynecological?"

Although she is not, she can make her become one. Otherwise, this person will definitely not be handed over to her.

Qingxi knelt down and looked directly at the Queen Mother with neither humility nor arrogance.

"To reply to the Empress Dowager, that is exactly the case. I just took the pulse of Concubine Xi and found that she is indeed..."

However, before she could finish her words, someone had already questioned her.
