On the wedding night, the space doctor made the crippled king stand up

Chapter 397 The old concubine is worried

Yanwu was shocked after hearing this and blamed herself for her recklessness just now.

"I don't know your plan, what should I do now? Did I disrupt your plan? I'm sorry, I really don't know." Yan Wu looked anxious, with a cry in her voice as she looked at Xiao Qingqing.

Xiao Qingqing hurriedly reassured: "No, you did a good job. Originally we were worried that those people wouldn't believe it, but with your joining, it became more real, and only then did others believe it."

"Really?" Yanwu asked in disbelief.

"Of course it's true." Xiao Qingqing comforted her with a smile. Seeing that her eyes were wet with tears, she immediately brought a piece of pastry to her mouth, "Here, this is your reward."

Seeing Xiao Qingqing treat her like a child, Yanwu burst into laughter and took a bite of the pastry.

But when she thought of the scene just now, the smile on Yanwu's face disappeared again and she sighed: "But, I just misunderstood Prince Yue and Miss Murong, and said those words to them. This... I'm really sorry."

"They never care about this, and they know you didn't mean it." Xiao Qingqing said, signaling her not to take it to heart.

Yanwu nodded, and after saying a few words to Xiao Qingqing, she didn't want to disturb him anymore and left.

As soon as Yan Wu left, a secret guard appeared on the back and saluted Xiao Qingqing: "Princess, those assassins have already done what they have to explain, but now there are so many assassins that it is difficult to keep them in the dungeon. I don't know how the princess is going to deal with it." ?”

Xiao Qingqing thought, it would not be good to have so many assassins in the palace, in case someone takes advantage of it..."

"Now that it has been explained clearly, it is no longer of use. Those who deserve to be killed will be killed, and the rest will be sent to Tingwei Mansion and Dali Temple." Xiao Qingqing ordered lightly, she did not care about the life or death of those people.

These were the assassins who wanted to kill them, so why should she have any mercy.

The secret guard understood the meaning and went to do it immediately.

Xiao Qingqing took a look that it was still early, and the assassination was now over. However, she had been busy with matters at home these days and had never been to the old concubine's courtyard.

After thinking about it, Xiao Qingqing ordered Qingtang to prepare cakes and go to the old concubine's courtyard.

As before, the old concubine's courtyard was very quiet.

"Bless me, old lady."

After passing the announcement, Xiao Qingqing entered the room and saluted the old lady who was sitting in the chair.

The old concubine nodded, invited Xiao Qingqing to sit down, and talked about some matters in the house.

Xiao Qingqing could tell that the old concubine was not in a good mood.

She persuaded her last time, and the old concubine's mood improved obviously, but why now?

Xiao Qingqing asked suspiciously: "The old concubine is in a bad mood? What is she worried about?"

The old concubine sighed but said nothing.

She didn't speak, and Xiao Qingqing couldn't say anything.

Nanny Lin couldn't help but muttered: "The old concubine has not been like this for a day or two. If it hadn't happened many years ago, how could the old concubine be like this?"

Xiao Qingqing keenly grasped the point of the words. Looking at the old concubine's appearance, could it be because of her younger son again?

"What happened all those years ago?" Xiao Qingqing asked. "I think back then, our concubine was the most noble person. If it weren't for the current queen mother, how could she have made things like this? If what had happened had not happened, perhaps there would be people around the concubine today to take care of the child..."

As she spoke, Nanny Lin shut up and looked at the old concubine in horror. She also hated herself for not being able to speak carefully and almost leaking this hidden matter.

Xiao Qingqing already knew the truth from Feng Molin, but she still pretended to be ignorant and asked doubtfully: "What child?"

Nanny Lin shut up, lowered her head and shook her head, not daring to continue talking.

The old concubine sighed, knowing that this kind of thing could not be hidden for long, not to mention that Feng Molin already knew about it, and even if she didn't tell it, Xiao Qingqing would know it from other places.

"Actually, there is something I have been hiding. As Granny Lin said, my youngest son died suddenly. I didn't even see him, he just disappeared..." The old concubine said. This matter was told in detail.

"I heard that the old concubine meant that the child was already born?" Xiao Qingqing asked, but the birth of the child should be shown to the mother as soon as possible, but why did the old concubine know nothing about it.

The old concubine nodded heavily and became more and more worried when she mentioned the past. She kept sighing: "Yes, the child was born at that time. However, I was weak and was born prematurely. The nun who delivered the baby said that the child was born with deficiencies and was too weak. Gone at birth.”

When she said this, the old lady couldn't help crying.

"It's already happened in the past, why hasn't the old concubine let go for so many years?" Xiao Qingqing continued to ask, to see if he could get any useful information from the old concubine.

"I also learned some news from the old man who just left the palace some time ago. I heard that my youngest son was only weak when he was born, but not necessarily dead. So I doubt that my child is still alive, but where is he now? But I don't know." The old concubine covered her face and cried bitterly. What she wanted to know most now was the whereabouts of the child.

Xiao Qingqing analyzed the cause and effect of the matter in her mind, and an idea suddenly came to her mind.

She watched the old concubine cry sadly. The identity of the old concubine's youngest son was still just a guess, so she didn't say anything.

Xiao Qingqing could only continue to comfort him.

It had been too long since Xu had vented her anger, and the old concubine couldn't stop crying.

Grandma Lin looked on anxiously and distressed.

At this time, Manager Chen hurried over. When he saw the old concubine crying, he was a little overwhelmed for a moment and hurriedly lowered his head to express that he didn't know anything.

Sensing that someone was coming, Xiao Qingqing looked over and saw Manager Chen coming, and asked, "What's the matter with Manager Chen here?"

Xiao Qingqing's voice brought his thoughts back, and then he remembered what he wanted to report, and he bowed and saluted: "Princess, old concubine, the prince is back."

This is the only good news in the palace recently.

The old concubine's crying stopped at this moment. She stood up suddenly and looked up at Manager Chen: "Are you telling the truth?"

"It's absolutely true. I'm afraid I'm already at the door of the house by now." Manager Chen said.

"Old concubine, listen, the prince is back. Let's pack up and go to greet the prince." Xiao Qingqing comforted the old concubine and at the same time motioned to Nanny Lin to fetch water for the old concubine to wash up.

Nanny Lin was overjoyed and hurriedly went to do it.

In order not to worry Feng Molin, the old concubine nodded, quickly wiped the tears on her face, and at the same time washed and changed clothes under the care of Aunt Lin.

After confirming that it was appropriate, the old concubine and Xiao Qingqing went to the gate of the palace together.
