Cui Yu and Ning were in the carriage heading to the capital. Thinking of the news she had heard recently, Ning asked in a low voice, "Master, do you think Cui'er is still alive?"

After all, she is her biological daughter. How can she not pay attention to her situation?

Cui Yu frowned: "Whether she is alive or not, she can no longer be our daughter in name. Madam, just pretend that you don't have this daughter. The last time His Majesty didn't punish us, it was because Chen'er brought Jing'er back."

"If Qi'er were still alive, would she be able to see him?" Ning asked again.

Cui Yu said, "That time she exchanged Jing'er to Northern Qi, I'm afraid she has angered His Majesty. Even if she is sent back after a narrow escape, you'd better not go to see anyone. His Majesty is probably still angry with her. Maybe he will spare her life because we raised Jing'er and Chen'er brought Jing'er back. As long as she doesn't cause trouble, I think she can be a ninth princess in peace."

"I'm afraid that with her personality, she won't be able to settle down. If she knew that Jing'er was named a princess by His Majesty, she probably wouldn't be satisfied."

If things get out of hand again, I'm afraid His Majesty will no longer be able to save his face.

Your Majesty must be angry about what Qi'er did before.

"Madam, please don't worry about this. Do you want to implicate the entire Cui family just for her? We still have Zhao'er and Chen'er." Cui Yu said.

Ning nodded with tears in her eyes: "Does this mean that the identities of Jing'er and Qi'er will never be made public?"

"Such a big fuss was made back then. If it were really made public, wouldn't that be a joke? Madam, you must remember that our daughter is Jing'er, and Jing'er is the current ninth princess. This secret cannot be made known to more people." Cui Yu warned.

Ning agreed, but still felt a little sad.

"I heard that Canglan Country is pretty good. Maybe it would be better for her to stay there," she said.

Cui Yu said: "Once stability is restored over there, they will definitely deal with the problems left over from Northern Qi, including Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess. She should be sent back."

"What will happen to her in the future depends on whether she can control her temper." Cui Yu said, if she behaves herself, His Majesty will not do anything to her.

Ning understood the meaning, sighed inwardly, and said no more.

Your Majesty is the king, and they are the subjects. If the king wants the subjects to die, the subjects have to die. My husband is a subject that Your Majesty trusts. They had no other choice when they took on the task of protecting the Ninth Princess. Your Majesty did not implicate them in the last incident, which was really Your Majesty's kindness.

No wonder my husband is loyal to Your Majesty.

Before the emergence of Canglan Kingdom, although Southern Qi was oppressed by Northern Qi, Your Majesty could be regarded as a benevolent monarch.

Two days later, the Cui family was reunited.

They all had a tacit understanding and did not talk about Canglan Country, let alone A'qi, as if such a person had never appeared in the family.

Until this day, news came from the palace that Concubine Li was ill, and it was said that she had a heart disease.

Anyone who was a little smarter would immediately think that she was missing the Ninth Princess.

Now that Northern Qi is gone and Canglan Kingdom has become the country over there, Concubine Li must have been thinking about the Ninth Princess, not knowing whether she is alive or dead, or whether she can come back. She was worried about this and that’s why she fell ill.

But now Canglan Country can't take care of other things, and the people here can't find out the specific situation, even His Majesty Nanqi is the same. Even if they find out, it involves two countries and it is impossible to bring the person back easily.

In order to make Concubine Li better, the current emperor summoned the noble ladies in the capital and asked them to enter the palace to accompany Concubine Li. If anyone could make Concubine Li better, she would be adopted as a daughter and named a princess.

Risks come with benefits, and there are indeed many people who are willing to let their daughters enter the palace to try. Even if they are unwilling, His Majesty has said so, they must be sent in anyway, otherwise if His Majesty finds out, they will not be able to withstand the power of the emperor.

As the emperor's confidant, Cui Yu naturally knew Song Chong's plan. His wife Ning knew Cui Jing's identity, so he had to inform the emperor of his plan.

But Cui Yu was not in a hurry and pretended not to know about it.

Until the noble ladies in the capital tried one by one to no avail, Song Chong didn't need to say much, someone stepped forward to remind him, isn't there Cui Jing? Song Chong frowned and pretended to be suspicious. In the end, for Concubine Li, he still summoned Cui Jing.

When Cui Jing received the imperial edict again, she felt bad, but she had met Concubine Li before. She hated Song Jue, but not Concubine Li. She was very gentle and kind, unlike Song Jue's biological mother. She was not arrogant or superior. When she followed Song Jue back to the palace, Concubine Li saw her and was also very gentle to her.

Thinking that the other party was sick, Song Qi was hateful, but Concubine Li was innocent. Cui Jing felt some pity and could understand the feelings of a mother.

With mixed feelings, Cui Jing entered the palace.

After only one day, Concubine Li's condition actually improved.

Later, some people said that Cui Jing was blessed with good fortune, otherwise he would not have been able to return safely from Northern Qi.

Nothing went wrong and the plan went as planned.

When Concubine Li recovered, Song Chong adopted Cui Jing as his adopted daughter as promised, and made her a princess with the title Changning.

Cui Jing was in mixed feelings, but she couldn't refuse Concubine Li's kindness. Besides, she didn't have the ability to object to it.

She was still very concerned about Song Jue's news. It was difficult to find out from Cui Chen, so she thought of asking Concubine Li. After all, Concubine Li cared about Song Jue and it was impossible for her not to find out about her.

Concubine Li thought Cui Jing was really worried and felt soft-hearted. How could her daughter be so kind?
Now that she can see her daughter often, she no longer thinks about Cui Qi. She hopes that he will be tortured to death over there. If it weren't for him, would her daughter have suffered so much?
But she would not show this side of herself in front of her daughter, so as not to scare her. Besides, this secret cannot be exposed. Her daughter is so kind, if she knew the truth, she would feel uncomfortable and guilty.

"Your Majesty has arranged for someone to inquire about it. Once there is news about Qi'er, they will come back to report." Concubine Li wiped her tears, "I hope she is okay."

How could she be alright after causing her daughter so much suffering?

In the Canglan Palace, Fan Shi was talking to A'rui: "Your Majesty, recently someone has been asking about the Ninth Princess. I guessed it was from Southern Qi, so I asked someone to find out the details, and it turned out to be true."

Ah Qi raised her eyes and said, "Just tell them that the Ninth Princess is being treated well and well. Currently, Canglan Country has temporarily forgotten about her and has not had time to deal with her yet."

There are still a lot of things going on here, and I really can't go back now.

"Okay, Your Majesty." Fan Shi agreed. Thinking of the book about farming, he reported the progress to Aqi, his face full of excitement.

"That's good. I have some more here. You can take them and study them." Ah Qi took out a few more books, which contained some livelihood skills such as seed cultivation, as well as military books. (End of this chapter)
