Xu Yuehuai has gone through many ups and downs these days, and it is already a great blessing that she can now be with Qi Guze.
After the two had been together for a long time, Xu Yuehuai finally asked about Princess Chuchu.
"Aze, when you went to Qipan Mountain, did you find out anything about Princess Chuchu's past?"
Qi Guze said, "Princess Chuchu died long ago. I went there to look for her, but I couldn't find her."
After saying this, Xu Yuehuai felt particularly regretful and sighed.
Qi Guze ruffled Xu Yuehuai's hair and then said.
"But I found the midwife who delivered Princess Chuchu's baby!"
"When I was searching for the past, that midwife almost met a terrible end!"
"However, I rescued her, and then I inquired about Princess Chuchu and the child."
"She wasn't entirely sure whether Princess Chuchu was dead, but she did tell me a very important clue!"
Xu Yuehuai stared at Qi Guze and asked, "What important clue is it?"
Qi Guze said, "The child that Princess Chuchu gave birth to has a birthmark that looks like a red leaf on the back of its shoulder!"
"When we return to the Great Zhou Kingdom, we'll find an opportunity to examine A-Qi closely and see if he has that red leaf birthmark on the back of his shoulder. That will confirm whether he is Princess Chu Chu's child."
Xu Yuehuai was relieved after hearing this.
"Now we have found a way to determine whether Ah Qi is Princess Chu Chu's child, but what if His Majesty refuses to believe it?"
"Then we'll find something on Ah Qi. He's been lurking around the Emperor all this time, and he won't stay quiet forever. He'll definitely use some tricks. Once we find the traces he left behind, we can follow the clues and uncover his identity."
"When the time comes and it is presented to the emperor, even if he doesn't want to believe it, he will have no choice but to believe the truth."
Xu Yuehua nodded and exclaimed, "Aze! You really have a way with things!"
"Next, we'll stay in the Kingdom of Mingyue and wait for the envoy from the Kingdom of Great Zhou to bring over goods so we can exchange them. Then we can take the goods from Mingyue back to the Kingdom of Great Zhou!"
Qi Guze said, "Yes, we can't let our guard down during this period. Protecting our safety is the most important thing."
Xu Yuehuai was naturally aware of this, and now that her injuries had almost healed, she didn't want to get hurt again.
As for security, that's handled by Qi Guze's bodyguards.
Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze spent a tender time together, and then Xu Yuehuai left the room to check on Zhou Wan and the others.
Xu Yuehuai was about to go find Zhou Wan when Zhang Ting stopped him.
"Sister Xu, you shouldn't go see Sister Zhou right now."
"What's wrong? What happened? Is she angry that I got myself thrown in jail for so long?"
Xu Yuehuai had no idea what had happened, nor did she know that Zhou Wan was taking care of Tie Xiong at that moment.
After being treated by the doctor, Tie Xiong has now woken up. However, the doctor also said that Tie Xiong will be a cripple from now on. His leg is lame, his right hand is crippled, and he can no longer hold a knife or use his light-body skills.
Zhang Ting explained to Xu Yuehuai, "Some time ago, Tie Xiong came back with the prince to rescue you, Sister Xu. However, they were ambushed by assassins on the way. In order to protect the prince's safety, he used his own life to hold off the assassins. But all the guards died, and only Tie Xiong, the bodyguard, survived! But his body was ruined, and he will never be able to wield a sword again."
The inability to wield a sword is the most terrifying thing for a martial artist.
Tie Xiong was originally a bodyguard carefully trained by Qi Guze, but now that he is crippled, the fighting strength around Qi Guze has also decreased significantly.
Zhou Wan had only been married to Tie Xiong for a short time, and now she was pregnant with their child. Tie Xiong had just encountered this kind of thing, and no one knew how sad Zhou Wan would be.
"In that case, I'm even more determined to go see Wanwan!"
As Xu Yuehuai spoke, he went to find Zhou Wan.
When they arrived at Tie Xiong's bedroom door, they saw Jiang Shichen standing guard at the door.
"Brother Chen, why are you squatting here all by yourself?"
Why not go inside?
Jiang Shichen said, "My mother is currently spending all her time with Uncle Tiexiong and doesn't want to see me at all."
Xu Yuehuai asked, "Did you do something to upset your mother? Or did you say something you shouldn't have?"
She knew Jiang Shichen best; just by looking at him, she could tell that he must have done something wrong.
Zhou Wan is not the kind of person who would lose sight of the bigger picture. She already doted on Jiang Shichen, and surprisingly, she didn't neglect him because of Tie Xiong.
Jiang Shichen blushed and said to Xu Yuehuai, "I just feel sorry for my mother and want her to take good care of her health, so that she won't ruin her health for Uncle Tiexiong."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai said, "Your intentions are good, but have you considered that your mother is extremely worried about Uncle Tiexiong? If you don't let her take good care of Uncle Tiexiong, she won't be at ease if anyone else takes care of him."
“Only when Uncle Tiexiong’s injuries heal will your mother be better.”
Jiang Shichen is just a child now; he doesn't understand how to love someone or how to become better when another person becomes better.
If that person is really bad, then you will become bad too.
Jiang Shichen nodded as if he understood, "Yes, I understand. I won't stop Mother anymore."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai smiled and ruffled Jiang Shichen's hair.
“Chen’er is the most intelligent. Your mother loves you so much. You should think about your conscience. Your filial piety is commendable.”
Suddenly, the door behind them opened, and Zhou Wan, with heavy dark circles under her eyes, walked out of the room.
When she came out and saw Zhou Wan, she could hardly believe her eyes. She rubbed her eyes and then stared at Xu Yuehuai.
After realizing it was indeed Xu Yuehuai, she quickly bowed to him.
"Mother! You're finally back! Why didn't you tell me you were coming back? If I had known, I would have come to welcome you sooner!"
Xu Yuehuai quickly helped Zhou Wan up, saying, "You're pregnant, so don't be so polite. Go inside and stay there. It would be terrible if anything happened to you."
As she spoke, she helped Zhou Wan walk into the house.
