Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Xiao Qingxi was not convinced: "She wanted to harm me. I blamed her for falling down, and she poked holes in the jujube paste cake to scare me!"

Princess Ning glared at her, "How come I didn't know when you became so timid? You even raised a tiger before, and you cried when I sent it away for you? During the autumn hunt in the palace, you caught the most prey by riding a horse and shooting arrows, but now you're scared by a hole in a cake? If you want to blame her, you should find a more decent reason. If this reason gets out, I'll feel ashamed for you."

Now Xiao Qingxi hummed and stopped talking.

After all, even she herself felt that being scared by Shen Wantang was a very embarrassing thing.

When she looked up, she saw Nanny Kang still wiping her tears, and she couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

Apart from her mother, the person who loved her the most was Aunt Kang. This time, she fell and got bleeding. Aunt Kang couldn't say a word of self-blame and could only cry.

She held Madam Kang's hand and said, "Oh, Madam, don't cry. I'm fine. I'll walk more carefully next time and I won't fall again. I'll listen to you and won't walk so fast in the future."

When Aunt Kang heard her say this, she burst into tears even faster: "It's all my fault. I didn't support the princess in time. If I had supported her, the princess wouldn't have fallen."

"Oh, it has nothing to do with Madam. If you want to blame someone, blame Shen Wantang. If Madam feels sad, just scold her for me!"

But this is where the problem lies. This time Xiao Qingxi fell down and it had nothing to do with Shen Wantang. Nanny Kang knew in her heart that Shen Wantang had suffered an unexpected disaster. It was true that Xiao Qingxi was not careful when walking, and it was also true that she, as a nanny, had failed to protect the princess well. This was her unshirkable responsibility.

Princess Ning on the side had also heard what her daughter had indirectly admitted. She blamed herself for the fall, not anyone else. Even Nanny Kang had advised her to walk slower, but she was used to being in a hurry and didn't listen.

Moreover, Nanny Kang was indeed negligent this time and failed to take good care of Xiao Qingxi.

However, when Princess Ning saw how Nanny Kang blamed herself, she softened her heart and did not punish her.

A new bowl of pregnancy-preserving medicine was boiled and Princess Ning personally brought it to feed her daughter.

Xiao Qingxi took a sip and frowned, "It's so unpalatable! Shen Wantang must have done it on purpose. She can't kill me, but she wants to make me suffer!"

After the initial panic when she saw the blood, Princess Ning had now calmed down.

She looked at the medicine in the bowl, and a thought came to her mind: "Xi'er, do you really want this child? If you don't want it, then you don't have to drink this medicine."

She said it very seriously, which scared Xiao Qingxi. She quickly grabbed the medicine and drank it in three or two gulps.

After drinking the medicine and eating the candied fruit, she grumbled in dissatisfaction: "If mother wanted me to take the medicine, she should just tell me directly. Why did she scare me in various ways like Shen Wantang did?"

"I'm not trying to scare you. I'm seriously asking you about your plans. You have to understand that once a child is born, it can't be put back. If you really want to divorce Huo Yunzhou, it's better not to have the child. This is good for both you and the child."

But Xiao Qingxi never thinks about the long term. She only looks at the present: "I have to give birth to the child no matter what. I got pregnant with great difficulty. I don't think there is anything wrong with this for me, nor do I think there is anything wrong with this for the child. At most, he will just be without a father. It is enough for the child to have me as his mother!"

Princess Ning sighed when she heard this. She had already mentioned this matter to her daughter before, and she was very determined to have a baby then, and she is still determined now.

Raising a child in Prince Ning's Mansion is naturally not a problem, but she is worried that the child will blame his mother Xiao Qingxi in the future. After all, his parents divorced before he was born, and he will definitely suffer a lot of criticism in the process of growing up.

"Has Huo Yunzhou come to visit you in the past few days?"

Xiao Qingxi's eyes turned red: "No, he must have gone to coax that vixen and forgot about me a long time ago!"

"Does he know that you are pregnant?"

"Of course he doesn't know. I will never tell him about this. After the child is born, I will not let the child recognize him as the father. I want him to blame himself, feel guilty and regret for the rest of his life!"

Princess Ning said earnestly, "Xi'er, it's not wise for you to get angry with him about the child."

"I don't care, I want him to regret it!"

Princess Ning shook her head and said nothing more.

-

Ministry of Punishment.

Xiao Qingyuan looked at everyone busying around and felt angry.

The Xin family's case had almost been tried, and all he could do here was listen to Lu Qiying asking Shen Guannian some irrelevant questions.

According to Gu Qianhan, Shen Guannian knew nothing about Xiang Meng killing thirteen members of the Xin family.

When he said this, everyone in the Ministry of Justice believed him and they all admired him very much, as if his words could be regarded as an imperial decree if he solved a case.

Xiao Qingyuan himself was ignored by everyone. Even Xin Huailin, who used to follow him every day, stopped following him and stood next to Gu Qianhan.

Only Xiao Qingyuan himself knew how painful this feeling was.

In the past, he was well protected by Prince Ning and Princess Ning, and had never experienced the fickleness of human nature, nor had he ever felt such a big gap.

He looked at Gu Qianhan, who was like the center of attention, and felt a surge of resentment and jealousy in his heart.

Unfortunately, when he was jealous of Gu Qianhan in the past, he could still find Yuan Zheng to complain to, and then get drunk in Wanhua Tower. But now he doesn’t even have anyone to complain to.

And only now did he realize that in the past two years, he had devoted all his thoughts to Chu Yanluo and even became a monk for her.

So two years have passed, he has not made any progress, his friends have gradually drifted away, and except Yuan Zheng, who has ulterior motives, no one wants to play with him anymore.

He seemed to have been away from the world for so long that he had forgotten that everyone loves to flatter the powerful and look down on the weak.

The only thing that could comfort him a little was that even a genius like Gu Qianhan had no friends.

Even though he was married and had a princess consort, Gu Qianhan was still alone. He was already twenty years old, but he couldn't get married and couldn't marry Liu Nanshi, the girl he wanted to marry.

As the sky gradually darkened, Shen Guannian was released.

This means that the final doubts in the case have been resolved and it can be officially closed.

Lu Qiying called all his men together and said, "The case has been solved. Thank you all for your hard work! You have not been home these days. You have been running around day and night. You are all very tired. Today I will treat you all to a meal at the restaurant!"

Everyone cheered and prepared to go to the restaurant.

Lu Qiying naturally invited Gu Qianhan as well, but Gu Qianhan declined: "I have something else to do at home, so I won't go."

He said this indifferently, not caring about other people's looks, and strode out with the servant.
