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

The stripping of Lady Liu's title was within Song Qingning's expectations.

That was also her goal.

Princess Nanlin helped her by chance, and her colleagues in the court and the ladies of the court all helped her.

It was only because of the right timing, the right location, and the right people that things went so smoothly.

Qin Zheng, the Commandant of the Capital Garrison, personally led his guards in.

It wasn't until the guards roughly lifted her up that Lady Liu came to her senses.

After regaining his senses, he pleaded with Emperor Yuan, his eyes filled with sorrow, to rescind his decree.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent! I did not mean to be disrespectful..."

"That's my daughter's military achievement. My daughter was wounded and bled while protecting the territory of Dajing, risking her life. I am her mother, I cannot take it away, I cannot take it away..."

The guards dragged Lady Liu out.

The person left the main hall, and the sound stopped abruptly.

Outside the hall, Qin Zheng stuffed the cloth ball into Liu's mouth, turned his head to look at the main hall behind him, and saw neither Song Qingning nor Song Qingning.

Turning his gaze away, Qin Zheng glanced coldly at Madam Liu and scoffed, "You know that Lady Song was injured and bleeding, risking her life? You know you are her mother?"

That scoundrel son who wanted to marry Lord Song to General Yang deserves the effect of thirty lashes even though he only deserves twenty lashes today.

There was a moment of silence in the palace.

Song Qingning lowered her eyes, looking at the scattered imperial robes on the ground, her face calm and expressionless.

Officials from prominent families and ladies of noble birth all felt sorry for her, thinking that her absent-mindedness was due to sadness.

During the meal, Song Qingyan watched all of this with shock and fear.

She was shocked that so many people were protecting Song Qingning, who had only suffered some injuries and bled a little, yet they kept praising her for protecting the borders and the land.

How could Song Qingning possibly deserve such praise?

She was terrified because she realized that Liu's title had been stripped away because of Song Qingning's instigation.

Song Qingning did it on purpose!

They deliberately caused Lady Liu to lose her imperial title and favor.

She's taking revenge on the Liu family!

And the reason for this revenge...

A sudden thought popped into Song Qingyan's mind, and she felt a chill run down her spine, instinctively gripping her sleeve tightly.

She always felt that the reason Song Qingning was against her and against Liu was because she was dissatisfied with how good Liu was to her, and even more jealous of how good Liu was to her.

It can connect you to everything.

Upon returning to the capital, Song Qingning disobeyed Lady Liu's orders and did not use her military merits to exchange for the title of county princess.

Afterwards, Song Mingtang was stripped of his title as heir apparent.

Today, the Emperor has stripped Lady Liu of her imperial title.

This... is more like Song Qingning taking back everything she gave them.

Take it back... Could it be...?

Song Qingyan was so shocked that she almost knocked over her teacup, and her face turned pale.

Countless thoughts swirled in my mind, and that guess echoed repeatedly in my heart:

Song Qingning knows the truth!

[Song Qingning must know that Madam Liu switched the children of the first and second wives!]

[All the recent misfortunes she, Song Mingtang, and Madam Liu must be related to Song Qingning!]

Song Qingning...she knew she was the eldest daughter of the main wife...

Song Qingyan looked at Song Qingning anxiously, wanting to be sure again. She wanted to see through Song Qingning, but Song Qingning's eyes were deep and she couldn't see through him.

Fear spread through Song Qingyan's heart.

Suddenly, Song Qingning looked up at her.

Their eyes met.

Song Qingyan, feeling guilty, hurriedly looked away.

Her reaction made Song Qingning frown.

Song Qingyan was terrified.

She knew Song Qingyan too well. This person was stupid and incompetent, yet she thought highly of herself and was full of arrogance. Even if she was afraid of something, she would still have a disdain for all luck.

Her fear just now was very real and pure.

It was as if they had discovered something that could exploit her weakness.

Song Qingyan's fatal flaw is:

She was not born to the Lu family, but was the daughter of the Liu family!

Has Song Qingyan realized that she knows the truth about the child swap?

Song Qingning lowered her eyes. She wasn't afraid that Song Qingyan would notice; on the contrary, she hoped that Song Qingyan would notice.

The welcome banquet continued.

Before Song Qingning was engaged, Xiao Ling continued to request Emperor Yuan to bestow her upon him.

The officials defended each other, leading to a heated debate.

The Emperor Yuan's gaze towards Song Qingning held a deeper meaning.

He did not want to bestow Song Qingning upon the Crown Prince of Nanlin, yet he was wary of Song Qingning's popularity among aristocratic families and officials.

After much deliberation, he finally used the excuse of feeling a pain in his mouth to leave the table first.

The welcoming banquet then came to an end.

Emperor Yuan returned to the palace with Empress Meng and Consort Hui.

As Empress Meng was leaving, she glanced at Song Qingning with loving eyes, as if to say to Song Qingning: Just wait for Emperor Yuan's decree to grant the marriage.

But before the imperial decree of marriage could be issued, the Emperor Yuan summoned her to the palace.

Just as she was about to enter the palace to meet the emperor, the eunuch Gao, who was delivering the imperial decree, stopped her. "Second Miss Song, the emperor summoned Second Miss Song, not Commandant Song. Your Commandant's robes are probably inappropriate."

Since assuming the position of Commandant of the Capital City Office, Song Qingning has always worn the official robes of the Commandant of the Capital City Office when meeting the Emperor, and has always conducted official business in that capacity.

But today, the Emperor Yuan summoned not her, who held an official position, but Song Qingning, a young woman confined to her home.

Song Qingning immediately realized that something was unusual.

Why did the Emperor summon her, not for official business?

"Miss Song, why don't you go back to your residence and change your clothes before going to the palace to meet the Emperor?" said Eunuch Gao.

He then instructed the accompanying eunuchs, "Please invite Miss Song to the carriage. After Miss Song has changed her clothes, we will go into the palace with her."

As if afraid his subordinates would forget, he took a few steps and then turned back to remind them: "Remember, after entering the palace, take Miss Song to Chuxiu Palace."

Chuxiu Palace!

Song Qingning looked up and met the gaze of Eunuch Gao.

Song Qingning immediately understood that his last words were directed at her.

"Miss Song, I'll head back to the palace to report now," said Eunuch Gao with a smile.

"Please take care, esteemed sir."

Song Qingning bowed to him.

After Eunuch Gao had gone far away, she boarded the carriage that the palace had specially prepared for her.

On the carriage, Song Qingning thought about Chuxiu Palace.

Chuxiu Palace was where women selected for the imperial concubine selection lived when they first entered the palace.

Why did Emperor Yuan summon her to the Chuxiu Palace?

Song Qingning knew that no matter what the emperor's purpose was, all she could do was to deal with it carefully.

Song Qingning returned to the Marquis's residence, changed into women's clothing, and entered the palace.

As soon as Song Qingning entered the palace, the news of her arrival spread to the Prince of Huai's residence, Fengqi Palace, and Emperor Yuan's bedroom.
