After a few days, the heavy rain finally showed signs of stopping.

Late at night, A Bao summoned the head of the Shi family who had come secretly on the Dafulou boat.

"Princess Xuan, how are you feeling?"

"Xuan Changdu is dead, and my sister is distracted." Patriarch Shi and Princess Xuan had similar brows, full of worry: "But we have to get through this stage."

Xuan Changdu, treason and assassination of the crown prince.

Any one of them is a serious crime that will lead to the confiscation of property and extermination of the entire family.

Fortunately, Her Royal Highness the Princess was very observant and knew that the affairs of Xuan Changdu and even the Xuan Palace had nothing to do with Shi’s boat gang.

Not only did he take the initiative to propose peace talks, he also gave a big gift.

That was the midwife who delivered his sister.

And of course, the origin story of his real nephew.

Facing the moist sea breeze, the head of the Shi family recalled the shock he felt when he heard the truth about the child swap, and then he used the power of the Shi family to go to great lengths to thoroughly investigate what happened.

In the past, he had never doubted his nephew.

But if they put their minds to it, the Shi family, who have been entrenched in Chuyue for a hundred years, will definitely be able to find out the truth.

A cinnabar mole on the right wrist means changing the child.

What the midwife said was actually true.

In order to have the title of the eldest son, concubine Yun Ji deliberately fell and gave birth prematurely.

As a result, the fetus was in an abnormal position and could not be delivered throughout the night.

Coincidentally, around dawn, Princess Xuan also made some movement.

If the baby is born at full term, everything will go smoothly.

When the sky was about to brighten, the powerful cries of a baby were heard in Prince Xuan's palace.

Although it had been many years, the midwife still trembled all over when she recalled the cruel past. "The King thought that the concubine's child was going to die. When he saw the little prince in the old slave's arms, he decided to treat the little prince as the concubine's child."

"Who would have thought that just as she finished speaking, the concubine also gave birth to a baby boy."

"King Xuan looked at the little prince in the cradle, and asked the old servant to take the concubine's child to the princess, saying that he was the princess's biological son. Poor little prince, he was very good-looking, especially his eyes were black and round, but for some reason, he was not liked by his own father."

"Later, the young prince was taken away by King Xuan."

"I was stabbed, but I was lucky enough to crawl out of the mass grave. I have been hiding all these years. I never thought someone would come and ask about that incident." The midwife became more and more excited as she spoke, and couldn't help but be curious, "Could it be that the young master has been found?"

Thinking of this, the tall head of the Shi family actually bent over a little.

Over the years, he, as the elder brother, always remembered that many years ago, when his sister fell from the treetop, it was the young King Xuan who stretched out his arms and caught her steadily in his arms.

Jiaojiao was called by King Xuan, and they were promised a happy marriage before the marriage.

But after the marriage, King Xuan hated Jiaojiao so deeply.

He actually treated the beautiful child as an object and sent it to purgatory.

If that's the case, don't blame him for killing Xuan Changdu.

While making tea, A Bao secretly examined the expression of the head of the Shi family.

Although he is old, one can still see the dashing and charming man he was in his youth. But now, the head of the Shi family, who controls half of the power of the Chuyue Shipping Gang, can hardly hide his hatred.

This is great, Abao thought calmly.

Otherwise, he would not have agreed to join forces with her to set up the game at the south gate of the city.

First he let Xuan Changdu escape from prison, then he failed in his escape and was accidentally killed in the chaos.

At this time, the old tea was bubbling.

Ah Bao poured some tea and pushed it in front of the Shi family master. "This tea needs to be savored slowly to appreciate its good taste. During this time, why don't you go out to sea with me?"

The Shi family master thought for a moment and said, "I couldn't ask for more."

The ship sailed for a while and then stopped on the dark sea.

Dozens of miles away was the purgatory on earth that was tightly surrounded by the Xuanwu navy. Perhaps because the secret guards had cleaned it out several times in the past few days, the purgatory was so quiet at this moment that even the slight swaying of a leaf seemed to be heard.

The head of the Shi family spoke first, "Is this the place?"

A Bao's heart gradually sank. "This is the real Mengjia Village where Meng Guanjing grew up."

Looking at the eerie Meng Family Island shrouded in red fog, Patriarch Shi recalled how he had loved his nephew Xuan Changdu over the years, but ended up with someone else taking over his nephew's place, while his real nephew suffered since childhood.

After a long silence, the head of the Shi family finally mustered up the courage.

"May I ask, Your Highness, what does Guanjing look like? Does he resemble his mother?"

A Bao thought for a moment and said, "When he returns safely, Master Shi can come and see for himself."

"Can Guan Jing come back?" The head of the Shi family did not dare to hope for it.

Hearing this, A Bao looked at the head of the Shi family meaningfully.

"Still unwilling to tell Princess Xuan?"

"I'm sorry to say that." The head of the Shi family was very sad. "Although the princess is married, she has no children. She doesn't know what it means to be a parent."

"If I knew that I had not been able to accompany my child to grow up, to see him learn to walk and talk, and that I had missed him again in a rainstorm one year;"

"These regrets and remorse are enough to drive a mother crazy and kill her."

"Once she knows the truth, my sister won't be able to bear it."

"Keep it a secret. It's better to keep it a secret for a while."

"Perhaps there really is a miracle, and Guan Jing can return safely." The head of the Shi family was disappointed. "Your Highness, if you can save Guan Jing, no matter what the Shi family needs to pay, I will be willing to do it. Please, Your Highness, save my sister and nephew..."

The wind and rain were blowing on the deck of the ship, and A Bao stared silently at the purgatory-like Mengjia Island.

The head of the Shi family said that she didn't know.

But she was also full of joy and looked forward to Yuan Zhao's birth.

A Bao felt a pain in his heart and wrapped himself tightly in the fox fur.

Although she knew the child was dead, she still had no idea how he died.

After coming back to this world and seeing the hellish abyss with her own eyes, she seemed to be able to guess it.

Why did her child die in the previous life?
