Song Mingli returned to Qichiyuan and saw Xiao Cui kneeling in front of her door with a small bundle beside her.

Song Mingli glanced at the small bundle and said, "Now that you've gotten into trouble, are you planning to run away?"

Xiao Cui kowtowed and said, "I don't want to implicate you, so I ran away. Today's matter was done by me alone!"

Song Mingli lowered his eyes and smiled, "What do you mean? If you don't run away, I didn't participate in today's incident, did I?"

She was just adding fuel to the fire, making things go more smoothly and have a greater impact.

"Yes...I spoke out of turn."

"Get up," Song Mingli said, "You haven't completed your confinement period yet. If you are not in a hurry, you'd better get better before leaving.

"If you have nowhere to go and no relatives to turn to, the Marquis' Mansion will not let you go without a bite of food."

Xiao Cui looked up in surprise, looking at Song Mingli in astonishment and joy.

Song Mingli smiled at her and said, "I have told you long ago that my husband's favor is never something I want to fight for. Your enemy has never been me."

Xiao Cui kowtowed hurriedly, "Thank you, Madam! Thank you, Madam, for your grace and magnanimity!"

Song Mingli asked Chuntao to help Xiaocui back to Cuiweiju.

She hurried to see Jingyou.

Jingyou had just come back and after washing his hands he went to practice calligraphy.

"Can't you give yourself a day off today?" Song Mingli felt sorry for the boy who worked so hard at such a young age.

Jingyou smiled at her, "Writing can calm people down and make them feel comfortable. Isn't it the purpose of a holiday to do something that makes you feel comfortable?"

Song Mingli nodded, "So, are you not at peace?"

Jingyou was stunned. He spread out the rice paper, picked up the brush and dipped it in ink without saying a word.

"Gu Huai's words have affected you, right?" Song Mingli asked carefully.

Although Jingyou is very young, he can write neat small characters.

Although his brushstrokes were immature, he never felt that practicing calligraphy was hard. Instead, he consciously insisted on practicing every day, which won the praise of the teachers who taught him.

The teacher often said that his willpower and perseverance were beyond ordinary people.

"Mother can tell you seriously that mother is definitely not the kind of woman who doesn't know how to love and respect herself.

"Mother has never done anything beyond the rules, never!"

Gu Huai slandered her, Gu Qingshan misunderstood her, the Gu family murdered her... She didn't care about these and was too lazy to explain.

But she didn't want Jingyou to misunderstand her at all.

She didn't want Jingyou to think that she was an indecent and shameless woman.

"Mom, I believe you!"

Jingyou picked up the pen and dipped it in ink, writing stroke by stroke, "But do you really think that I am Gu Qingshan's son?"

Song Mingli was shocked. W-what?

"Is it true that he doesn't like me because marrying my mother is not what he wants?

"He later showed his affection to my mother and sent her flowers...but he never seemed to remember that I was his and my mother's child?"

Jingyou's keen insight and incisive words made Song Mingli feel numb from head to toe.

But...if your father isn't Gu Qingshan, could it be someone else?

Song Mingli looked at Jingyou's small body, standing straight in front of the table.

He held the pen and wrote freely, with a majestic aura, a self-confidence, and a noble temperament...

It really doesn’t look like Gu Qingshan at all.

Instead, it's a bit like...

Song Mingli felt a panic in his heart.

Immediately suppress all your ridiculous thoughts.

She is so crazy!

How come anyone can relate to this?

No wonder people warned her not to have such a desire...

She really would want to take advantage of someone just because he takes care of the Song family!

"You should practice calligraphy..." Song Mingli was worried that his son's mood would be affected by Gu Huai, so he came over to explain and comfort his son.

Unexpectedly, she ran away because of a few words from her son.

……

The eunuch who announced the decree returned to the palace and immediately reported to the emperor.

When he came before the emperor, he hesitated to speak.

This matter... was just his blind guess, could he tell the emperor about it?

If he arouses the wrath of God, will he lose his head?

After all, serving the emperor is like serving a tiger, and that’s no joke.

"Are you possessed by a catfish?" The emperor glanced at him and frowned.

The eunuch was stunned. "Ah?"

"That mouth opens and closes all the time, and with two more whiskers, it's definitely a catfish spirit." The emperor snorted, "Just say whatever you want to say. I'm not a tyrant. How can I not listen to what people around me say?"

The eunuch knelt down in fear and said, "I am guilty... I just happened to hear this when I was announcing the decree, and it was just my own guess, so I dare not speak nonsense."

"Then don't talk about it." The emperor said disdainfully.

Hmm? The Emperor didn't ask any more questions?

But if he doesn't tell me, he will be very anxious!

Otherwise, she wouldn't dare to act like a "catfish spirit" in front of the emperor.

"This concerns the reputation of Miss Song, and the child looks too much like... too much like His Royal Highness Prince Jing.

"Even if the emperor wants to chop off my head...I dare not hide it from the emperor, I dare to tell you!"

The eunuch weighed the pros and cons in his mind and decided to take a gamble!

I bet the emperor’s love for Prince Jing exceeds his love for face.

Prince Jing is no longer able to survive.

If Prince Jing could have a child and live outside...even if it's in another minister's home!

It must be extremely important to Prince Jing and the Emperor, right?

"What did you say?" The emperor frowned and looked at the eunuch.

The word "Prince Jing" really made the emperor lose his composure.

There was no one else in the imperial study. The eunuch whispered everything he had heard in Changning Marquis's mansion.

"The child of the clan said that he was the biological son of Master Gu, and that Song Mingli's child was a wild child...

"But I saw that the child looked exactly like Prince Jing when he was a child. They are cut from the same cloth!"

The emperor frowned, and in his eyes, which looked down upon the world, a myriad of thoughts surged.

The imperial study was quiet for a long time.

The eunuch knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe. His forehead was pressed against the back of his hands, and his forehead and hands were covered with cold sweat.

His heart seemed to be in his throat, and it was about to jump out if he opened his mouth.

Just when he was getting extremely nervous, the emperor spoke.

"I want to go and take a look."

The eunuch's reaction has never been so fast!

He immediately responded, "Yes, I will go and announce the young Marquis of Changning, and I will go to the palace to express my gratitude tomorrow!"

Summon that child into the palace so the emperor can see him with his own eyes!

When the emperor saw him, he knew that what he said was true! They really looked like each other!

"No, I want to go see him," the emperor said again.

The eunuch looked up in confusion... Was he so nervous that his brain wasn't working properly?

Why didn't he understand what the emperor meant?

"Do you still remember when I first became emperor?" The emperor suddenly smiled, "I quietly left the palace to understand people's livelihood..."

hiss……

The eunuch gasped—leaving the palace incognito? !

Long live!

He thought that the emperor valued Prince Jing, so he would also value children who had a relationship with Prince Jing - even if it was just a slight relationship.

But he didn't expect that the emperor would take it so seriously!

Going out of the palace incognito!

"Your Majesty, you...you also said that you had just ascended the throne at that time, and now..."

You are already quite old!

Why are you still doing such impulsive, unreliable, risky and ridiculous things!

"Shut up!" The emperor glanced at him, "You have made great contributions by reporting this, if you don't want to go, then don't go!

"Originally I wanted to take you with me! But now it seems that you are not qualified! Just stay in the palace and look after the house!"
