Chapter 99

“…”

Wenpo is actually Shufei's person.

Back then, before Empress Gu gave birth, Concubine Shu had personally left the palace to find her.

Concubine Shu gave her a box of gold. In exchange, Concubine Shu asked her to prepare a baby girl born at the same time. Whether Queen Gu gave birth to a boy or a girl, Wen Po had to replace the child and secretly took it out of the palace to deal with it.

The water flowing in Fengkun Palace was actually done by Concubine Shu. Taking advantage of the chaos, Wenpo asked someone to secretly take the newborn prince out of the palace. Because of the only remaining conscience, she did not strangle the child to death and throw it away in the wilderness, but gave him to the dentist.

"Please spare my life for me. I have already received retribution!" He almost didn't force Yingying, and Wenpo told the secret.

A few years ago, this Wen Po actually had a very good reputation. She was not a greedy person, but something happened to happen to be in the family at that time.

When Shufei came to her, her son was surrounded by people in the gambling field for gambling debts. Because his son owed too much gambling debts, Wenpo took out all the savings in the family and failed to help him make up the hole. It was Shufei's money who rescued her son from the casino.

"The old slave can't wait anymore." Wen Po cried and said, "I can't afford to pay, so the group of people cut off a finger of my son every hour. When Shufei came, my son's left hand was completely destroyed."

Wenpo was just one son. Seeing the people in the casino sending a finger every hour, looking at the box of gold, Wenpo had no choice but to agree.

Yingying didn't want to know how forced Wenpo was to do these things, nor did she fully trust Wenpo's words. She looked for loopholes: "If you secretly change the prince, how could Shufei let you go?"

Only the dead can keep the secrets the most. Let’s not mention why Concubine Shu didn’t kill her. The secret that the stable woman revealed too easily was enough to make Yingying suspicious.

The Wenpo smiled bitterly and repeated Yingying's words: "Yes, how could she let me go?"

Of course, Shufei did not let her go. When the matter came to peace, Wenwo's house caught a fire. Fortunately, she discovered something abnormal in advance and pulled her son out. Since then, Wenwo started hiding, but probably because of retribution. Not long after, her son died in the casino, and she broke one leg by accident and became a cripple.

Speaking of this, the woman in Wen knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times. She said tiredly: "It was only later that the old slave learned that the casino was arranged by Concubine Shu, and she was plotting against the old slave from beginning to end."

"I know that I have a serious sin. I have been trying to find an opportunity to tell the truth for so many years, but I am just an ordinary woman and cannot compete with Concubine Shu. Now I have finally waited for you, Empress, and I would like to tell you what happened back then. In this way, even if I die, I will have no regrets."

Wenpo has been waiting for so many years, but now he has finally waited for the opportunity to avenge his son, so he naturally has everything he said.

Yingying listened quietly to the whole process and found it absurd and incredible.

In just a few days, the truth after another exceeded her perception. She still couldn't believe it. The little princess she was thinking of was actually a prince. She didn't know how to express her feelings, so she could only ask: "Do you know where the child is?"

Wenpo shook his head and said, "I don't know, but the dentist must know."

"Then the tooth woman and the old slave are also old acquaintances. They promised the old slave to find a good family for him."

Yingying asked again: "Where is the dentist now?"

Wenpo asked for paper and pen, and wrote the address of the fangma and handed it over to Yingying. She hesitated: "I haven't contacted you for many years, and I don't know if she lives there."

"You'd better pray that I can find her." Yingying stood up with a note and sent Xiaodai to take care of her.

He took the note and went to Qin Rong to find Qin Rong. Qin Rong quickly sent a secret guard to find someone. Yingying stayed in Qin Rong's study and was not in a hurry to leave. She thought about Wen Po's words carefully, but she still couldn't understand some things.

"Shufei only gave birth to one princess. It is understandable that she wanted Wenpo to replace the prince with a 'princess'. Why did Wenpo change it to another baby girl, both men and women?"

Qin Rong heard Yingying tell the whole story, and he thought for a while: "Maybe there is a bigger conspiracy behind Concubine Shu."

If it is unprofitable, there is no need for Shufei to take the risk of letting Wenpo replace her with a "female". Her doing so could only pave the way for the subsequent big plan. However, there was an accident in the middle of the plan, and Princess Chaofeng's sudden death disrupted Shufei's plan.

After hearing Qin Rong's analysis, Yingying shivered. She hugged her arms and said, "Do you all have two hearts in your palace?"

She didn't understand what kind of deep hatred or desire is driven by desire, so that she could calculate people to this extent.

Qin Rong laughed softly after hearing Yingying's words, pulled the person over and hugged him in his arms, "Is Yingying scared?"

Of course Yingying was afraid, she murmured: "I don't want anyone to plot against me like this."

Although she has no feelings for her child, just imagine if her child died of weakness and death, and suddenly one day she learned that she was not dead but was killed by someone, that feeling would be enough to make her suffer.

At this moment, she learned that the child she had been thinking about for many years was not her child, and that her real child was replaced by someone before she could see her. Yingying thought that she would probably collapse directly.

Yingying was just inspired, and she didn't realize that this sentence had changed into Qin Rong's ears. She tightened her arms while holding her. Yingying came back to her senses and found that Qin Rong was silent and stopped talking. His thin lips pursed his eyes and his eyes were dark, and his face was slightly drooping.

"Third brother, what's wrong with you?" Yingying sensitively noticed that Qin Rong's emotions had fallen.

Qin Rong pulled the corners of her lips very calmly. He raised his hand to go across Yingying's black hair, kissed her on the cheek and said, "Nothing is wrong."

"Yingying should also think about how to tell the truth to your aunt."

Yingying was also very worried about this matter. She should have been happy to find her aunt's biological child, but now that the princess has become the prince, she really doesn't know how to tell the truth to her aunt.

"Let's find someone first."

Yingying thought that it would not be too late to talk about it when they found the child back, otherwise it would be a waste of joy. But she didn't expect that a mere dentist would be so difficult to find. The secret guard followed Wen Poliu's address for two days before she found out that the dentist had left the imperial city.

It was already five days later when the secret guard brought the yashi back to the palace. Fortunately, everything went well afterwards. Yingying successfully learned from the yashi where her aunt's real child was, and immediately went out of the palace to find someone in person.

As Wen Po said, the fang Po really found a good family for the children, and it was in the imperial city.

This day was the coldest day in the imperial city. Yingying came out in a hurry and didn't change her casual clothes. She was dressed in a bright fox fur dress and was sitting in Qin Rong's luxurious horse carriage.

When the carriage drove slowly to the street, the people around him were in a panic and scattered. Yingying sat in the carriage and his hands were cold. Xiaodai stuffed a soup into Yingying's hand and said with a funny look: "What's the niece nervous?"

Yingying shook her head, "I don't know either, maybe... I'm afraid I won't be able to meet someone smoothly."

Many years ago, the dentist sold the child to a gorgeous old lady, and later learned that it was the butler of the Zhou family.

Looking at the imperial city, there are not many rich and powerful Zhou Mansion in this city. The Zhou Mansion, which bought children from the dentist, was also known as the name. Unfortunately, the Zhou Mansion later changed to a loyal and honest male host. He was too upright. Although he won a good reputation for himself, he failed to continue his glory with the Zhou Mansion. Now the Zhou Mansion has become an inconspicuous existence in the imperial city.

After Qin Rong investigated, he learned that the male owner of the Zhou family was named Zhou Ming. He was not only upright and honest, but also particularly infatuated. For many years, there was only one wife in the house. Even if her wife could not have children, she would never leave her and even adopted a child for her.

The Zhou family has been in business for generations and has many shops, but when it comes to Zhou Ming, he only has a two-story tavern under his command. Half a month ago, Zhou Ming handed over the tavern to his adopted son, who was the biological son of his aunt, and now he is named Zhou Zishan.

When the carriage was parked in the Zhou family tavern, Xiaodai jumped off the carriage and helped Yingying down.

The Zhou family tavern is remote, with only three or four pedestrians coming and going. Perhaps for this reason, there was no guest in the tavern. The bored servant was dozing off at the door and suddenly woke up and saw several guests standing at the door of the tavern. He quickly raised his spirits to greet him.

"Please——"

Yingying followed the servant two steps forward, and asked without waiting for the door: "Can your shopkeeper be there?"

The servant replied without thinking: "You are here, please don't worry, our Zhou family's wine is absolutely delicious, I want to come here for the second time after you drink it."

As he said that, several people arrived at the hall. The servant was very happy to greet the guests and hurriedly shouted: "Master, we are here!"

The young man standing behind the counter settled the scores raised his head when he heard this. His eyes fell on Yingying, and he was slightly stunned and asked politely: "Is the guest official an upstairs private room or the lobby?"

Yingying stared at Zhou Zishan for a moment, raised her smile and pointed to the table beside her, "It's good that I'm here."

At this location, she happened to see Zhou Zishan who settled the accounts.

“…”

Yingying was dressed in luxurious clothes. In addition to Xiaodai, she also had several guards such as Youyang whom Qin Rong sent to her.

She was raised by Qin Rongjiao for a long time, and she looked pretty in a fox fur, which was really not very suitable for this remote restaurant. She also picked the best wine and dishes here, and Zhou Zishan went to pick up wine for her in person. After all the wine and dishes were served, Zhou Zishan also brought a plate of peanuts over. He said politely: "When the girl is born in the face, this plate of peanuts is given to the girl."

Yingying tilted her head, looked at the plate of peanuts and then looked at Zhou Zishan, and thanked him softly.

When it was the first time I came here, Yingying was not ready to reveal the truth to Zhou Zishan, but just wanted to understand Zhou Zishan's temperament next time.

Originally, Yingying was still a little suspicious of the words of Wenpo and Yapo. It was not until she saw Zhou Zishan with her own eyes that she completely believed what they said. Zhou Zishan looked so much like her aunt, especially those eyes. Yingying couldn't help but think of her aunt when she looked at him.

【bite--】

This is the sound of the system appearing in Yingying's mind: [Information loading, matching...]

【Matching successfully, data transmission begins…】

[Congratulations to the host, Zhou Zishan is indeed your aunt's biological son!]

Yingying was excited to find Zhou Ziqian. Now that she has received the system's affirmation, she is even more at a loss how to express her joy. Seeing the wine on the table, she was about to pick it up and take a sip, but Xiaodai was quick-eyed and stopped her.

"Grandma!" Xiaodai whispered to Yingying: "Did your highness tell me what did you say when we came out?"

Unwilling to put the wine down, Yingying quickly remembered Qin Rong's repeated instructions and did not allow her to touch a drop of wine.

On that day, Yingying only ate all the peanuts. When she left, she didn't touch the wine and food on the table. Seeing this, Zhou Zishan came out and asked her: "But the wine and food in the store are not in your appetite?"

"I like it very much." Yingying knew that Zhou Zishan had a misunderstanding, so she also added thoughtfully: "I will come here tomorrow."

It came as soon as possible, because of Yingying's well-behavedness, Qin Rong allowed Yingying to come out the next day. This time she changed into a simple dress and took Xiaodai and Youyang to walk to the Zhou family tavern. Like yesterday, she still ordered the most expensive wine and dishes in the store. When she left, she did not touch the wine and food on the table.

The meeting between the two gave Yingying a certain understanding of Zhou Zishan. She did not rush back to the palace after leaving the Zhou family tavern, but wandered on the street. She hesitated and asked Xiaodai: "How about you telling him the truth tomorrow?"

Zhou Zishan was well-educated by Zhou's family. He was gentle and polite, and was not an extreme person.

Yingying didn't dare to tell her aunt the truth first, so she could only start with Zhou Zishan first. If it weren't for the lack of time, Yingying really wanted to know Zhou Zishan for a long time and reveal information to him a little bit, but she didn't have much time left for her. Yingying must let her recognize her as soon as possible.

"Xiao Dai..." Yingying was about to say something else, but suddenly a commotion came from behind.

The rapid sound of horse hooves approached, Xiaodai's face changed and exclaimed: "Be careful, Empress!"

Before Yingying could see clearly what was going on, Youyang pulled Yingying right first, and at the same time it was the roar of the horse. Yingying staggered and fell a few steps to the right, but Xiaodai hurriedly helped her to stabilize.

"What's going on?" Yingying turned around and saw five or six cavalrymen galloping past. She was still a little confused. She saw that the streets were also in chaos due to the passing of the iron cavalry.

Youyang's face was heavy. He looked towards the city gate and said respectfully: "If my subordinates have a good guess, it is probably that King Anping is coming back."

Yingying was stunned. She followed Youyang's gaze and looked at the city gate, and vaguely saw a convoy of cars.

——Yes, it is King Anping who is back.
