Chapter 409: Complete Defeat
Qingwu's eyes widened.
He then wrote on Changning's palm, "Who?"
Before Changning could reply, she saw Princess Rong'an approaching. She bowed to the two of them and said, "Rong'an greets my aunt and Princess Changning."
Qingwu has never liked Rong'an. She just nodded and pulled Changning away.
But Rong An heard him say, "Rong An thanks Aunt for taking care of my brother. Rong An also wants to shamelessly ask Aunt if she can go visit my mother.
She had a deep misunderstanding of her father because of the fact that he had saved Aunt Lin. She was so depressed that she hadn't had a proper meal for several days.
You are her only sister, I think she will listen to your advice and take care of herself."
Qing Wu was just about to ask when she had ever taken care of her brother, when she suddenly realized that Rong An was talking about Cao Yizhao.
Or maybe... is it Shi Yu?
However, Father-in-law Lin only announced to the public that Lin Qianning was still alive, and never mentioned her relationship with the Song family.
Not knowing whether Rong An's words were meant to test her, she feigned ignorance and said, "I haven't seen your brother in a few years, so how can I take care of him?
As for your mother, we have different ideals and cannot work together. Since we have cut off contact in the past, why should I go to her now and offend her?"
Seeing Qingwu was about to leave, Rong An hurriedly explained, "Rong An is not talking about my brother in the mansion. I can't tell my aunt now, but she will know in the future."
Her secretive look made Qingwu frown.
Then he pretended to be surprised and said, "Are you talking about that idiot Cao Yizhao?"
Rong An stared at Qingwu's expression, unable to tell whether Qingwu was acting or not, so he bit his lip and remained silent.
She always felt that Lin Guozhang's reaction that day was wrong. After returning home, she thought about it for a long time, wondering if Lin Guozhang had already known something.
Considering that Qingwu and the Empress are incompatible, but she is willing to be nice to Shi Yu, her brother said that Qingwu wants to use Shi Yu to seize power from the Empress.
But considering the two things, she decided to take a risk and try it out today.
She has been bewitched by the Empress and needs to take the antidote regularly every month, otherwise she will die. Only when the Empress is alive can she live.
Besides, her Song family has long shared the same honor and disgrace with the Empress, so no carelessness is allowed before the matter is accomplished.
Qingwu felt that Rong An was just testing her. She curled her red lips into a cold smile and leaned forward slightly, exuding an oppressive aura.
"So you are speaking sarcastically, blaming me for bullying that fool.
That’s right, I really hate him. It’s his mother’s fault for plotting to take over the Xiao family and bring disaster to my brother.
However, since Lin Qianning is still alive, I will directly hold her responsible for the wrongs I have done. Wait, I heard she's also gone mad?"
Qing Wu was a little disgusted. "Why are you all so stupid? Seeking revenge on idiots. This palace never feels happy."
Her brows turned, "You just said that Cao Yizhao is your brother, so Lin Qianning is also considered a member of your Song family. The emperor brother passed away many years ago, and the prince was away from his homeland for many years before he was found, but Lin Qianning is still alive. This is all because your father disregarded Fengzhao law and privately rescued a serious criminal of the court. The palace will settle this account with your Song family."
Lin Guozhang confessed to the Queen that Prince Consort Song had saved Lin Qianning, but outsiders did not know about it for the time being.
This outsider does not include Qingwu. She has been fighting with the Queen for so many years, it is impossible for her not to have her own spies.
Therefore, Qing Wu was not afraid to let Rong An know, and Rong An did not doubt it. He just said, "Aunt, Aunt Lin did save the late emperor back then. It's been so many years, why do you still hate her so much?"
Rong An's face was full of innocence and pity. "Aunt Lin has suffered enough and she has paid the price."
She hadn't expected her test to fail, and instead Qingwu was pestering her. She turned to Princess Changning and said, "Princess, I heard that you and Aunt Lin were once close friends. Please help Aunt Lin plead with Yimu. Aunt Lin is truly pitiful."
Changning's eagle-like eyes swept across Rong'an's face.
If she was a little more stupid, if Qingwu really hated Qian Ning as much as she appeared to hate her, if she wanted to protect Qian Ning and Qingwu wanted to take revenge on Qian Ning, then there would definitely be a rift between her and Qingwu.
The little girl actually used her guilt towards Qian Ning to sow discord between her and Qing Wu. Her intentions were truly vicious.
This was a common trick used by noble ladies, and she and Qingwu had disdained it when they were young. How could they be fooled now? So they didn't say anything.
He was thinking inappropriately in his heart that his child was now old enough to get married, and he should never marry such a vicious girl in the future.
Qing Wu didn't know her friend had already thought about becoming a mother-in-law. She snorted coldly, "I conspired with others to take over your Song family. When I was killing people and setting fires, I had a sudden pity and pushed you out when you were injured. Although you saved your life, you were seriously injured and died early. Don't you hate me?"
"I……"
Rong An only said one word before Qing Wu rudely interrupted him, "Alright, is your family extinct? They need a girl like you to come out and do something."
If you really feel sorry for your silly brother, go ahead and feel sorry for him. I'm not saying that you're still so young and you're not a good person.
Although I hate Lin Qianning, I hate her openly. Unlike you, who keeps calling me brother, don't you just want people to know that Lin Qianning's child is your illegitimate child from the Song family?"
Baba is standing in the way, which is really annoying, even more annoying than her mother.
"Rong An didn't..."
"Whether you need to explain to us or not, we don't want to hear it. If Qian Ning made a mistake, she should pay the price.
It is understandable that Qingwu seeks revenge on her. Although this princess is reluctant to let go of Qian Ning, she is not someone who cannot distinguish right from wrong."
Chang Ning finally spoke up, "But there is one thing I hope you can tell your father. Putting everything else aside, I will hold him accountable for harming Qian Ning."
Now that she has found her son, she no longer has to run around and has plenty of time.
After that, he didn't even bother to look at Rong An. He simply pulled Qing Wu away, muttering, "Whoever wants a girl like this as a daughter-in-law will be so unlucky. She'll delay me from seeing my son."
Rong An was completely defeated and tore the handkerchief in his hand in anger.
He originally came to see the Queen, but thinking of Qingwu and Changning's ruthless mouths, he guessed that the Queen would not get any good results. If he went there now, he might end up making the Queen angry.
She turned around and walked towards Xiao Zhian's palace.
The Queen's temperament is unstable, but Xiao Zhian is kind-hearted and honest. As long as you maintain a good relationship with him, you will have an extra layer of protection.
On the other side, Changning pulled Qingwu and quickly arrived at the palace gate.
Qingwu pointed at Jingzhe, whose neck was almost two miles out from the door, and said to Changning, "Look, that's your son."
"I know."
Changning paused slightly.
Her son and her husband look exactly alike, how could she not recognize her son?
only.
She hesitated and walked slower and slower.
"Over the years I've been searching for him, I've dreamed countless times of hoping to find him..."
The dream suddenly came true, but she began to doubt its authenticity.
Qingwu felt that she could roughly understand Changning's feelings.
Her period was delayed for a few days this time, and the nanny told her mysteriously that she might be pregnant.
Because the nanny accidentally discovered that Rongyu was secretly using a needle to poke holes in the casing. Although she was annoyed by Rongyu's little action, her heart could not help but imagine the picture of a little ball around her knees.
Therefore, I dare not let the doctor take my pulse until now, for fear that the delay may be due to other reasons and not what the nanny said.
She didn't know whether her analogy was appropriate or not, but she felt that the fear of having their dreams shattered was probably the same.
While she was daydreaming, the two of them had already walked out of the palace.
Jingzhe looked at Changning beside Qingwu, scratched his head, and shyly moved in front of Changning, "They said I was your son."
He looked at Princess Changning carefully. Her face looked a little weathered and tired, but her eyes and eyebrows were heroic. She looked very dignified, yet a little stern.
So this is what my mother looks like. I wonder if it’s easy to get along with her.
Jingzhe felt a little uneasy.
Chang Ning pursed his dry lips and nodded, "Yes, you are my son, Song Ling."
"Oh, I know. Grandma told me."
Jingzhe grinned, "But I also have a name, Jingzhe. When the master picked me up, it was the Jingzhe solar term, so he gave me this name.
I also have a brother. When he came to live with his master, it was the winter storage season, so his name was Dongzang.
He is smarter and more stable than me. He has taken good care of me since I was a child. We have a good relationship, but since last year, I have been a little envious of him.
Because that’s when I realized he wasn’t an orphan, he had a mother and a sister.”
"Do you still envy him now?" Changning felt a lump in his throat and tears welled up in his eyes as he listened to his son's words.
Jingzhe shook his head, "I'm not envious anymore, I also have a mother and a grandmother."
