A wicked mother swaps her son and sucks his blood? The true legitimate daughter is reborn and goes o

Not only did Princess Yu come, but Xie Yunli also came.

Song Qingning opened the door and was about to bow when Princess Yu stepped forward to support her. "No need for formalities. It was I who disturbed you so late at night, Qingning. Please don't blame me."

A hint of apology flickered in Princess Yu's eyes, and it was all the more genuine.

She added, "I've always loved Mingyuexian's paintings, but only today did I learn that you are her, and I can no longer contain my excitement."

The old woman beside her chimed in:

"Yes, yes, Miss Qingning, you didn't see the Princess's reaction when she found out you were Mingyue Xian. After returning to her room, she kept talking about Miss Qingning, marveling at how Miss Qingning was both literate and skilled in martial arts."

"If she doesn't see you tonight, she probably won't be able to sleep at all."

"Miss Qingning, please don't blame the Princess for bothering you. It was this servant who suggested inviting you over. I didn't expect the Princess to come in person, and the Prince also came."

Song Qingning glanced at Xie Yunli and nodded politely to him.

Xie Yunli's eyes flickered slightly, and he guiltily looked away, not daring to meet Song Qingning's gaze.

He hurriedly explained, "It's raining outside, so I brought my mother here."

He felt even more guilty after saying that.

When he went to see his mother, he found her about to leave.

It was already dark and raining heavily, so he immediately advised her to go back to her room and that whatever important matter she had to do, they could wait until tomorrow.

But my mother said she wanted to visit Mingyue Xian.

My mother liked Mingyue Xian's paintings, but not to the point of being so obsessed.

But without thinking, he changed his mind and said he would bring her over.

He brought his mother here as an excuse; he wanted to use the pretext of bringing his mother here to see Song Qingning.

Xie Yunli felt a wave of guilt wash over him as he thought of his fourth brother.

He should have taken his leave immediately, but when Song Qingning invited the two of them in, his feet involuntarily followed his mother into the house.

"Princess, please have some tea. Prince, please have some tea." Song Qingning didn't want to turn away the guests.

They were invited inside, and tea was poured for them.

Princess Yu pulled her aside and asked her how she had learned to paint over the years. She then brought up the matter of Song Qingyan impersonating the person who saved her and also impersonating Mingyue Xian, and was filled with righteous indignation.

Xie Yunli sat in the farthest seat near the door, drinking tea in silence, without even glancing around.

After an unknown amount of time, a sudden commotion arose outside.

Song Qingning was startled, thinking of Xiao Ling.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, I must excuse myself." Song Qingning stood up abruptly and strode out of the room.

"Qingning..." Princess Consort Yu called her from behind. Seeing Song Qingning rush into the rain, she hurriedly handed Xie Yunli over, "Quick, go and follow Qingning, don't let anything happen to her."

"Okay." Xie Yunli chased after him into the rain.

The two figures disappeared from sight.

Princess Yu swayed weakly and almost fell. Her nanny immediately stepped forward to support her. "Princess, don't worry too much. The heir has gone too. He will keep an eye on Miss Qingning."

Princess Consort Ke Yu was not only worried, but also felt guilty.

"She is my savior, and I lied to her and even took advantage of Yunli. Did I do something wrong?" Princess Yu's voice trembled as she struggled with inner conflict.

She came to find Song Qingning in order to stall her.

We must not let her interfere with the prince's plans for tonight.

The prince threatened her that if Song Qingning ruined his plans for tonight, he would not only take Song Qingning's life, but also the life of the entire Yongning Marquis's mansion!

Princess Yu recalled the fire at Shuyuzhai on the day of her birthday banquet.

He could even cruelly silence the man who had shared his bed with her for decades.

Not to mention Song Qingning and the Yongning Marquis's mansion.

The old woman sighed and comforted her, "Your Highness, you had no choice. You didn't want Miss Qingning to die, so you came to hold her back. If you do as the Prince says, he will surely keep his promise and not harm Miss Qingning."

"As for the young master, he is kind and intelligent. You were so worried about Miss Qingning that you blurted out that you wanted him to protect her. Now that he has come to his senses, he may become suspicious."

Princess Consort Yu realized her mistake and panicked. "What should we do? If Yun Li becomes suspicious and finds out what the Prince did, he won't be able to handle the shock!"

She knew Yunli too well.

He was too upright and always idolized his father.

In his eyes, his father was a loving father.

But his kindness was feigned; he disguised himself so well that even she only just discovered his true colors.

If Yunli knew that his father had always harbored rebellious intentions and even secretly had dealings with Nanlin, his faith would surely collapse.

"We can't let him know!"

Princess Consort Yu murmured to herself, took a deep breath, and immediately perked up.

"Quickly, help me to get some medical attention."

……

When Song Qingning arrived, countless corpses were already lying outside the main hall of Fazong Temple.

In the darkness, Wan Zi rushed to her side and reported, "Just now, Xiao Ling attempted to assassinate the Emperor. All of his followers have been executed. Xiao Ling escaped, and the Prince has already given chase."

To assassinate Emperor Yuan?

Song Qingning was very surprised.

There was no assassination attempt in my previous life.

Xiao Ling's purpose was to assassinate Emperor Yuan?

Song Qingning didn't believe it.

His colleagues from the Capital City Bureau had already secured Fazong Temple like an impregnable fortress, so Song Qingning immediately rode off in pursuit.

"Four……"

Xie Yunli caught up and saw Song Qingning riding down the mountain.

Without a second thought, he mounted a horse and followed closely behind.

The rain is still heavy.

Following the trail ahead, Song Qingning chased after Xie Xuanjin and quickly caught up with him. She and Xie Xuanjin continued forward and finally caught up with Xiao Ling at Xuanxin Cliff, about a mile away.

With a cliff in front of him, Xiao Ling had nowhere to escape.

At the edge of the cliff, Xiao Ling was no longer dressed as "Zhi Xia".

He was dressed in black, and his beautiful, almost feminine face had a touch of eeriness about it.

Xiao Ling, riding on his horse, turned around and saw Song Qingning. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it vanished in an instant.

"Song Qingning, it's been a long time."

He greeted Song Qingning with a smile, as if he were an old friend.

But Song Qingning and he were never friends.

"Crown Prince Xiao, what are you plotting by secretly infiltrating the capital of my Great Jing?" Song Qingning met Xiao Ling's gaze and got straight to the point.

Xiao Ling was very dissatisfied with her coldness and hardness.

Back in Youcheng, they thought about each other every day, figuring out how to make the other a defeated opponent.

Having not seen each other for so long, she couldn't even be bothered to go through the formality of catching up with him.

"Didn't you see it? Assassination!" Xiao Ling sneered.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Song Qingning frown, her eyes filled with disbelief.

She doesn't believe it?!

I knew I couldn't fool her.

Xiao Ling's smile widened.

He knew that Song Qingning would ruin his plans, so he instructed Xie Bi to have someone hold Song Qingning back.

But she still caught up with me!

Song Qingning is truly his nemesis!

"Song Qingning, do you remember you still owe me a sword!" Xiao Ling held a grudge.

The sword that once pierced his entire back, though healed, still bears a gruesome scar that serves as a constant reminder of the vengeance he suffered.

"I told you, next time we meet, I'll return the favor with a sword."

Song Qingning naturally remembered.

But in this life, she must protect herself and prevent her body from suffering any damage.

"Crown Prince Xiao, this is the Great Jing. I could wound you with a single sword back then, but who knew I couldn't kill you with one sword today!"
