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

That evening, Caiyue met someone.

The following day, Consort Hui left the palace discreetly. She instructed her personal maid to find a beggar and deliver a letter to the Prince of Huai's residence.

Not long after, Song Qingning, wearing a veiled hat, left the Prince of Huai's residence and boarded a carriage.

The carriage moved slowly and stopped in a quiet alley. Song Qingning got off the carriage and then got into the other carriage that was waiting for her in the alley.

She was going to take Consort Hui to find "evidence".

The two remained silent in the carriage until they arrived at a horse farm.

Not long after, when she came out again, Consort Hui's face was visibly pale, and her eyes were burning with hatred, as if she had made up her mind about something.

Consort Hui returned to the palace without saying a word, and then locked herself in the mourning hall. It was dark when she called her personal maid in.

"Go and send a message to Prince Yu; I want to see him."

"Yes."

The palace maid obeyed and left.

Once again, only Consort Hui remained in the mourning hall. She expressionlessly repeated the act of burning paper money. When she saw the blood-stained kite on the coffin, she knew that Meng Yushu had come.

"Sixth son, sixth son, wait for your mother."

Consort Hui seemed to be murmuring, or perhaps making a vow.

After dinner, at the Prince Yu's residence.

A secret letter was delivered to Prince Yu.

Consort Hui wants to see him!

This was within his expectations.

When Song Qingning took Consort Hui to the horse farm during the day, he knew that his plan had succeeded.

Everything went according to his plan. Following his guidance, Song Qingning found the horse farm and the evidence he had deliberately left there.

The evidence pointed to Emperor Yuan.

"Heh, Song Qingning." Prince Yu sneered, his tone tinged with disdain and satisfaction.

Satisfied, he then placed the secret letter on the candle flame and lit it.

The person Xiao Ling took a liking to was someone that Yun Li and Rou An both respected and liked. He thought she was so special, but in the end, she still became his pawn.

Following his instructions, she told Consort Hui about the assassination attempt on Emperor Yuan.

He knew Consort Hui all too well.

Xie Lian is her life.

Back then, she was Consort Shen's maid. Consort Shen treated her badly, often beating and scolding her, but no matter how Consort Shen treated her, she never cared.

Until Consort Shen almost prevented Xie Lian from being born.

Consort Hui held a grudge and endured it all. Finally, ten years ago, she found an opportunity and secretly killed Consort Shen.

That woman is vengeful, patient, and ruthless; she's a very good ally.

Xie Lian was her Achilles' heel. She knew that Emperor Yuan had killed Xie Lian, and she would never let him go.

In this way, what they had planned together can continue!

Everything went according to his plan, and Prince Yu was in a very good mood.

"Father..."

Xie Yunli's voice came from outside the study.

Prince Yu frowned, but then relaxed in an instant. "Come in."

Xie Yunli pushed open the door and entered. As soon as he entered, he saw the undisguised joy on Prince Yu's face, as if there was something to celebrate.

Xie Yunli did not inquire further. As usual, he looked at Prince Yu with admiration and respect. "Father, I have come to tell you that Rou'an has come to her senses."

"Really?" Prince Yu's eyes lit up.

Two pieces of good news in a row made him even happier.

Since he arranged the marriage for Rou'an, she has always disagreed. He could have ignored her agreement or disagreement, as long as she married him, General Wu in the southern border would be at his disposal.

Then, he can coordinate with the people he has placed in the southern army.

Several cities in the southern border could become that open door.

"Of course it's true." Xie Yunli saw his excitement, remained outwardly calm, but inwardly felt a dull, tearing pain.

The person before him was no longer the father he admired and respected.

Or perhaps the father he had always admired and respected since childhood never existed, and everything he saw was an act.

Xie Yunli concealed his disappointment, not letting his emotions show at all, and quietly listened to the man's loving voice echoing in the study.

"Rou'an doesn't understand her father's good intentions. The eldest son of the Wu family is honest and kind, and Madam Wu has been following General Wu in the southern border for many years and rarely returns to the capital."

"General Wu doesn't keep concubines, and there are no shady characters in the Wu family. When Rou'an marries into the family, there will naturally be no messy or chaotic things."

"Although the young master of the Wu family is only a deputy general under his father, my Prince Yu's Mansion does not care about such things. I only hope that Rou'an can live a peaceful and comfortable life, and that is enough."

Prince Yu recounted his good intentions, as if he had done all this without any selfish motives.

Xie Yunli followed his words, "Rou'an was just acting on a young girl's impulse. These past few days, my mother and I have been persuading her, and now she has agreed to marry, but she has one condition."

"Require?"

Prince Yu suddenly became alert. "What are your demands?"

"Rou'an has never met the young master of the Wu family; she wants to meet him," Xie Yunli said.

Prince Yu frowned. "Meet him? But the young master of the Wu family is in the southern border. How can we meet him?"

"She wants to go to the Southern Border to see him in person," Xie Yunli said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Prince Yu's face darkened.

Before he could object, Xie Yunli spoke first, "Given Rou'an's temperament, if we really don't let her see him, she won't give up. Now that she has already compromised, if we don't go along with her, what if she insists on not marrying again, or does something else? Then my father and I will regret it."

"Furthermore, there's that young master Wu. I've heard he's quite handsome. If Rou'an meets him, she might just fall in love with him."

"If Father is worried about the long journey and the dangers along the way, we can send people to escort you."

Xie Yunli finished speaking in one breath, silencing Prince Yu's attempt to veto the idea.

He had to admit that Xie Yunli's words made sense.

Rou'an was spoiled, and she had an unyielding and resolute spirit in her bones.

What he wanted was to form this marriage alliance with the Wu family. If Rou'an really did something wrong, he would have no other daughter to win over the Wu family.

Rouan is a very important piece.

Having someone escort Rou'an to the southern border and keep an eye on her ensures nothing goes wrong.

"Alright, let her go see him." Prince Yu relented.

She sighed again, "I've always spoiled Rou'an too much, so I have to be very careful in choosing her husband and the family she married into before I can feel at ease."

Looking at that seemingly benevolent father's face, Xie Yunli felt a mixture of sarcasm and disgust.

He simply watched with a smile, as if unaware of his true nature.

But the true nature of this will eventually be revealed.

And when that day came...

Xie Yunli lowered his eyes, thinking of his and his fourth brother's plan, a flash of determination in his eyes.

……

A few days later, the date for the sixth prince's funeral was set.

Since returning from the horse farm that day, Song Qingning has not entered the palace again, nor has she seen Consort Hui again.

News came from the Prince Yu's residence that after the Sixth Prince's funeral, Princess Rou'an would be leaving the capital to study.

On the day of the sixth prince's funeral.

Song Qingning did not sleep all night.

At midnight, she had already prepared the roadside offering and was waiting on the road to the Sixth Prince's funeral procession.
