Chapter 291 The wind direction in the capital has changed again
Doctor Qian carefully felt the pulse, then let go of his hand after a moment, a gentle smile on his face.
"Don't worry, the young lady's pulse is steady and strong, and the fetus is very healthy."
"That's good……"
Yuling came in hurriedly from outside, with an unconcealable look of anxiety on her face.
"lady."
She walked over to Chu Ruohan and lowered her voice.
"The wind direction in the capital seems to have changed again."
"Now... people outside are saying that the little princess Lin Xingyao from Prince Yong's mansion is not the princess's biological daughter at all."
"The midwife who delivered the baby back then secretly switched them..."
Chu Ruohan's fingers holding the medicine bowl paused slightly.
The nails unconsciously rubbed against the rough edge of the bowl, making a slight sound.
This news came at a very good time.
It was not spread earlier or later, but it was revealed when the issue of the prince's bloodline was at the center of a sensation.
Could it be that the Queen couldn't contain herself and wanted to use the scandal in Prince Yong's Mansion to divert attention?
Let the people stop keeping an eye on the Eastern Palace?
But Chu Ruohan always felt that things were not that simple.
There seems to be a deeper calculation behind this.
At the same time, the atmosphere in Prince Yong's Mansion had dropped to freezing point.
"You bastard! What nonsense are you talking about!"
Princess Yong was so angry that she was shaking all over, and her well-maintained face was full of anger.
She slammed the table so hard that the teacup jumped up.
"Chuan'er hasn't even returned yet, and someone outside has the audacity to fabricate Yao'er's past like this!"
"Someone, come here! Go investigate! Arrest those gossipers!"
"That's enough."
Prince Yong, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke in a low voice.
He glanced at his furious wife.
“You can never catch them all.”
“Rumors are like water; it is better to drain them than to block them.”
"Look at the Crown Prince. He caused such a big incident. Did the Emperor order the arrest of those who discussed it?"
Princess Yong was choked and her anger subsided a little, but the worry and resentment in her eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
Lin Xingyao, who was standing aside, looked extremely ugly, pale.
The hands hidden in the wide sleeves had long been clenched into fists, and the nails were deeply embedded in the palms, causing sharp pain.
She clearly caught the flash of scrutiny and suspicion in her father's eyes when he looked at her.
That look, like an ice-cold needle, mercilessly pierced through all her pride and disguise.
Father, are you also beginning to doubt her?
This realization made her feel like she was falling into an ice cellar.
Lin Xingyao rushed back to her yard almost as if escaping.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
She swept the precious porcelain to the ground and smashed it to pieces.
The servants in the house were so frightened that they were silent and dared not even to breathe.
A nanny who looked somewhat old came forward quickly, her face full of worry.
"Oh my princess, what are you doing? Be careful not to hurt your hands!"
Lin Xingyao's chest heaved violently, her eyes burning with rage and a hint of barely perceptible panic.
That midwife died a long time ago!
There is no evidence to prove the truth!
In this world, besides herself, there is only one person who knows the secret of her true life experience!
"Wei Qiming!"
She spat out the name through gritted teeth, her voice full of resentment.
"That damned eunuch! Bastard!"
In order to shut him up, she even gave him that evil child.
How dare he!
How dare you expose this matter!
Isn’t he afraid that he will end up in trouble?
The nanny cleaned up the mess on the floor swiftly, brewed another cup of hot tea, and brought it to Lin Xingyao.
She lowered her head and twitched her fingers slightly at an angle where no one would notice.
A little bit of colorless and odorless powder fell silently into the tea and dissolved instantly.
"Princess, calm down and drink some water to moisten your throat first."
Mammy's voice was gentle yet full of concern.
Lin Xingyao was upset at the moment, and seeing that it was her most trusted personal nanny, she was not on guard at all and drank it all in one gulp.
The nanny helped her sit down on a cushioned chair and comforted her earnestly.
"Princess, if you have any worries, please tell me."
"Don't keep it to yourself. What if you get sick from anger?"
These caring words contained subtle guidance.
Lin Xingyao really followed her words and directed her anger towards Wei Qiming again.
"Who else could it be? It must be that eunuch Wei Qiming!"
"He must have asked people to spread rumors outside!"
Mammy lowered her eyes to hide the gleam in the depths of her eyes.
"That Wei Qiming is just relying on his sister being the queen."
"Now that they are so unscrupulous, I'm afraid they are desperate."
She paused, lowering her voice even more, as if she were sharing some shocking secret.
"But I heard... that the prince in the palace doesn't seem to be the emperor's biological son."
"It is said that the Empress secretly brought it back from outside the palace."
Lin Xingyao suddenly raised her head, a hint of shock flashing in her eyes.
The nanny continued slowly, "The Wei family is still hoping that when the crown prince ascends the throne, they can pardon Wei Qiming's sins."
"But if... the Crown Prince can't succeed to the throne at all, then Wei Qiming will have to be a slave in a place like the mine for the rest of his life, rotting to death there?"
These words were like adding fuel to the fire, instantly igniting all the resentment and resentment in Lin Xingyao's heart.
Wei Qiming, if you don’t have a good life, don’t expect me to have a good life either!
But she still hesitated for a moment.
"But...but the emperor didn't issue an order to depose the crown prince."
"As long as the crown prince remains in power, the Wei family will have hope of turning things around, and Wei Qiming will be released sooner or later..."
The resentment in his eyes almost overflowed.
The nanny came closer, her voice bewitching.
"The royal family is silent now, but what if something happens?"
"If Wei Qiming gets this news at the mine and knows he might never make it out of this world, do you think he'll go completely crazy?"
"What can't a mad eunuch do?"
Lin Xingyao met the nanny's cloudy yet shrewd eyes.
The nanny continued with a hint of meaning, "If Wei Qiming makes a big fuss about the Crown Prince not being a dragon seed..."
The consequences are unimaginable.
But for her, Lin Xingyao, perhaps... it is an opportunity?
As long as the capital is in chaos, who would care whether she is a real princess or not?
As long as the Wei family falls, Wei Qiming will no longer have the capital to threaten her!
Lin Xingyao stood up suddenly, a fierce look flashing in her eyes.
"Mammy!"
"Prepare the carriage for me immediately!"
"To the mines!"
The desolate mine was filled with dust and the air was filled with the stench of dust and ore.
Lin Xingyao was wearing an expensive dress that didn't fit in with the environment.
She stood condescendingly in front of the ragged Wei Qiming...
