Chapter 210 Ling Jue Returns to Beijing
Mrs. Li looked at the child in her arms and then she breathed a sigh of relief. The swap was finally successful.

Her mission was also accomplished.

So she pretended to be in the side room cleaning up the baby.

From time to time, the baby would cry.

Mrs. Hua, who was cleaning up Ji Chuxue outside, didn't hear the baby crying at first and was a little anxious. But when she heard the baby crying, she felt relieved and focused on watching Ji Chuxue.

Ji Chuxue had fallen asleep by now, and her trusted palace maid was sent away by her. She had no idea that her child had been switched.

When she woke up, she saw a baby with red skin and wrinkled cheeks lying next to her, smacking his lips.

So ugly! When Ji Chuxue saw the baby for the first time, she felt inexplicably disliked him and she didn’t know why.

She called the maid who was serving her: "Mammy, where is the wet nurse?"

The nanny replied, "My lady, the nurse has already fed the little prince. She said that when you wake up, you will be able to see the little prince. In order to reassure you, I have placed this old slave beside you. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Ji Chuxue said disdainfully: "Take him away, where is the emperor? Hasn't he come to see him?"

The nanny nodded: "The emperor came to see her, but the queen fell asleep. The emperor sat for a long time before leaving. He also sent many gifts and asked the queen to rest well."

Ji Chuxue was relieved. Her cousin still had her in his heart. She nodded and said, "I'm hungry. Please bring me some food."

"It's the lady."

The nanny retreated respectfully with the child in her arms, but she was thinking in her heart that she had seen the disdain in Ji Chuxue's eyes just now. This was her own biological prince, how could she disdain him?

The nanny couldn't understand it, so she shook her head and gave the child to the wet nurse, and she went to serve meal to Ji Chuxue.

On the other side, Li Yuzhu also looked at the wrinkled baby with disgust on her face: "Why is it so ugly?"

Compared with his son, the gap is huge.

She didn't even think about the fact that all newborn babies are the same.

I can only say that no matter how good-looking other people’s children are, they are not good-looking.

No matter how ugly the child you give birth to is, he or she is still the most beautiful child in the world.

Isn’t it said that other people’s wives are better and your own children are better?

On the other side, Su Nanyi and his party had already reached Phoenix Mountain. Thinking of so many treasures in this mountain, Su Nanyi wanted to rest here for a few days before leaving.

And during these few days, Ling Xiao received a message from the palace saying that Ji Chuxue had given birth to a little prince.

Ling Xiao frowned. In his heart, he hoped that Ji Chuxue would give birth to a princess like Yun Yuerou and not cause trouble for Tian'er.

"What is the emperor looking at so intently?"

When Su Nanyi came in, she saw Ling Xiao sitting on the stool, staring blankly with a piece of paper in his hand.

Ling Xiao put the note away and said, "Ji Ruxue has given birth to a prince."

Su Nanyi calculated the time and found that it was indeed time for her to give birth, but it seemed that it was also time for Li Yuzhu to give birth.

She doesn't care whether the concubines in Ling Xiao's harem give birth to sons or daughters. It's useless to give birth to more children because they will all serve as sparring partners for Tian'er in the future.

But Su Nanyi would not tell Ling Xiao that Li Yuzhu might have replaced Ji Chuxue's child.

She wouldn't say anything without evidence.

It doesn’t matter to her whether to change or not. Li Yuzhu will not let them have an easy time anyway.

She said, "Let's rest here for a few days and then set off back to Beijing."

Ling Xiao touched Su Nanyi's belly which was not yet bulging: "If Yi'er wants to rest for a few more days, we can rest for a few days. You are pregnant again, don't get too tired."

Su Nanyi had been vomiting for several days, and she couldn't hide it anymore. Ling Xiao knew that she was pregnant again. Ling Xiao was so happy that he was very accommodating and doting on her, just like how he doted on Li Yuzhu in his previous life.

Unfortunately, none of these could move Su Nanyi, as she would never forget the cruelty that Ling Xiao and Li Yuzhu had shown her.

She endured it only for the sake of her children.

So she shook her head and said, "It's almost time. We've been out for so long, we should go back early."

Once Li Yuzhu gives birth, that woman will cause trouble again.

"Okay then. I'll go get ready and the team will set off soon."

Su Nanyi nodded and went back to pack her things.

Outside the capital city, a team of horse-drawn carriages stopped far away at the city gate, and they did not follow the crowd into the city.

At this time, a man got out of the carriage in the front. He was tall and straight, standing at the city gate with his hands behind his back, looking up at the tall city gate of the capital.

It was his first time to come to the capital, his first time to step into the city that his grandfather and father longed to see, and the city he had always dreamed of returning to. It finally came true for him.

From now on, this city belongs to him.

There were too many of them and their target was too big, so they did not go into the city, but turned around and headed towards a village.

He would not go to the palace now. He would wait for Ling Xiao to come back and let Ling Xiao see with his own eyes how he had taken down the throne.

That way you’ll feel a sense of accomplishment.

After they settled down, the next day, he took off the mask on his face and put on a human skin mask, an ordinary human face mask, and entered the capital.

He first knocked on the door of the Duke's Mansion.

Every day, many people knocked on the door of the Duke's Mansion. When the doorman saw another stranger coming, he yawned and asked, "Are you here to see the Duke again? Tell me your name and I will let you know."

Jue Ye did not give his name, but took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to the doorman: "Please give this to the Duke."

The doorman took the jade pendant and took a look at it. He found nothing special about it, so he hurried to the Duke's yard and gave him the jade pendant.

When the Duke saw the jade pendant, he was stunned.

"Please come in quickly and serve good tea."

The doorman had never seen the Duke so excited before. He quickly ran to the gate of the mansion, took Master Jue to the living room, and asked the servants to serve him tea.

When he was leaving, he looked at Jue Ye twice more. It was amazing that an ordinary man could make the Duke so excited. He wondered who he was.

Not long after the doorman left, the Duke arrived in a hurry.

"Are you Juer?"

Master Jue stood up and bowed to the Duke: "Jue'er greets uncle."

Ling Jue's (Jue Ye's) grandmother was the Duke's biological sister. She married Ling Jue's grandfather and was also Ling Xiao's uncle.

So the Duke is Ling Jue’s great uncle.

"Child, why did you return to the capital?"

The Duke was in tears. He thought his brother-in-law could become the emperor, but he lost his patience and rebelled a long time ago, which led to his exile to Beizhou.

Unexpectedly, many years later, his grandson came back.

Very good, very good. He originally wanted to rebel against Ling Xiao, but couldn't find a suitable reason, so he went to Li Yuzhu.

Now that Ling Jue is back, he doesn't need to look for Li Yuzhu anymore.
