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

As soon as Song Qingning finished speaking, Xie Xuanjin behind her visibly stiffened, and the large hand on her waist unconsciously increased its pressure.

"know!"

Xie Xuanjin tried his best to suppress the turmoil rising in his heart.

This is the first time she has brought up the matter since the day the two of them had a frank conversation.

She wouldn't bring up Song Qingning without a reason, given his understanding of her.

Xie Xuanjin glanced eagerly at the jade bracelet on the table, a flame igniting in his eyes.

Did she remember?

The thought crossed my mind, and even my heart started racing.

know!

This answer also made Song Qingning's heart skip a beat.

He once said that he met a woman in a dilapidated temple.

She followed him to Runan County.

She helped him fight his way back to the capital, and he killed her enemies in return.

That's it!

Although her guess was beyond common sense, she was able to live a second life, and Su Ling was able to come from another world and occupy another woman's body.

Her guess is not impossible.

Even so, Song Qingning could not hide her shock.

"Tell me about that dream again, okay?" Song Qingning turned around, looked up at him, and her gaze met the burning flame in his eyes.

The flames were scalding hot.

"it is good."

Xie Xuanjin nodded, put the jade bracelet back on Song Qingning's wrist, and slowly explained as he removed the hairpin from her hair.

Just as I said that day, we met in the dilapidated temple and then followed each other on the battlefield.

This time, Song Qingning felt a different kind of emotion as she listened.

The story ends with the sentence, "He married her."

How can a human and a ghost marry?

Looking at Xie Xuanjin, Song Qingning couldn't bear to continue exploring. She subconsciously suppressed many questions in her heart, as if she was afraid that if she found out the answers, she wouldn't be able to respond.

Song Qingning knows herself all too well.

Xie Xuanjin told her about the "past," and she knew that the woman in the "past" was the woman she had become a ghost in her previous life. She also tried her best to put herself into that woman's body.

She was indeed moved, but that was all she was moved by.

Unable to develop any other feelings.

Since her rebirth, she has always moved forward in everything she does, but she hesitated in this matter.

Instinctive retreat!

Feeling guilty, Song Qingning made an even greater effort to wear the jade bracelet at all times, and she never parted with the jade pendant he had given her.

It seemed that thanks to the jade bracelet, her daily routine gradually returned to normal.

The imperial kitchen prepared a variety of dishes every day, and in Jinhua Palace, the palace servants took good care of her. Her mother and sister-in-law would come to the palace every few days to keep her company and relieve her boredom.

When Song Qingning was seven months pregnant, her sister-in-law also became pregnant.

When Song Qingning was eight months pregnant, Ye Shu and Chu Yin returned to the capital.

Ye Shu was a third-place scholar in his previous life, a rare talent with outstanding literary skills. However, he met a tragic end because Xie Yuzhen disfigured herself and entered a Buddhist monastery.

In this life, the ending was changed.

Now that all threats were gone, Xie Xuanjin summoned him back to the capital and made him attend court.

That afternoon, Song Qingning met Chu Yin.

Inside Jinhua Palace.

Dressed as a married woman, Chu Yin's eyes welled up with tears when she saw Song Qingning.

"Your Majesty, Ayin is in Youcheng, and she thinks of you every day."

This is not just a polite remark.

After faking their deaths and escaping, Chu Yin and Ye Shu found a place to settle down in Youcheng.

She specially invited a statue of Bodhisattva to her home and worshipped it every day, praying for Song Qingning's peace and well-being.

For Chu Yin, Song Qingning did more than just save her life.

The brief dream she had in the carriage during their escape made her realize more clearly what Song Qingning's rescue meant.

At the same time, I feel even more sorry for Song Qingning.

In their past lives, Song Qingning suffered no less than she did.

The two shared the same plight and deeply appreciated each other, making their bond all the more significant.

"Youcheng is too far away. Since you're going back to the capital to take up your post, we can meet more often when you're in the capital." Seeing Chu Yin again, Song Qingning felt a sense of warmth and familiarity.

It's rare to find someone with the fate of being a ghost together.

Ye Shu held an important position in the Ministry of Revenue.

"It's just a pity about your names..." Song Qingning frowned slightly.

To cover their tracks and avoid suspicion, the two charred corpses, though not buried in the mausoleum, were still given a cenotaph.

Everyone knows that Ye Shu and Chu Yin are dead.

They left the capital and lived in anonymity. When they returned, they changed their names again, and Ye Shu returned as their twin brother who had been lost in their youth.

Chu Yin then changed his surname to Chu.

"Names are secondary; what matters is living a good life."

Lady Anguo, who had come with Chu Yin, gave Song Qingning a grateful look.

Lady Anguo rarely returns to the capital.

Her girls' school has already opened in Runan County.

They spent three days chatting over tea, with Madam Anguo talking about things outside, until it was almost dark before Chu Yin and Madam Anguo finally left.

When Song Qingning was nine months pregnant, Lady Anguo left the capital again.

She has only one month left until her due date.

Xie Xuanjin spent most of his day in Jinhua Palace, seemingly needing to keep an eye on Song Qingning to feel at ease.

In the study in the east wing, Xie Xuanjin was probably reviewing memorials.

Suddenly, a soft rebuke rang out, "Don't hand me these folded paper anymore!"

Seemingly realizing his voice was too loud, he deliberately lowered it, "What 'millennium banquet'? I said, there will be no 'millennium banquet'!"

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty has received news that both the Southern Kingdom and the Northern Kingdom have sent envoys to offer their congratulations."

In the study, the Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial looked troubled.

A hint of impatience flashed in Xie Xuanjin's eyes. "Send it back!"

To get rid of someone?

How to pass the time?

During the reign of the late emperor, the Northern Rong and Southern Lin regions maintained a tense relationship with the Great Jing Dynasty.

With the new emperor's ascension to the throne, Beirong began to take the initiative to make overtures. It is said that this visit seems to be intended to repair the past relations between the two countries.

Needless to say, the south is even more so.

The death of Crown Prince Xiao Ling was expected to enrage the Emperor of Nanlin, but to everyone's surprise, the Emperor of Nanlin took the initiative to withdraw the border troops and expressed his willingness to sign a ten-year peace agreement.

Xiao Ling's death did not provoke the Southern Emperor's anger, but it did arouse his fear.

This time, under the guise of the grand celebration for the new emperor of the Great Jing Dynasty, they are here to implement the ten-year agreement.

"Your Majesty, this is a matter of great importance and cannot be easily dismissed." The Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies broke out in a cold sweat. "This concerns the diplomatic relations between Dajing and their two countries. If not handled properly, it may become a hidden danger in the future."

Xie Xuanjin frowned; how could he not know the gravity of the matter?

But his birthday falls in the same month that Qingning is about to give birth.

He didn't want to be distracted by anything.

In the study, after a long stalemate, Xie Xuanjin still did not give in.

The Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial glanced at the barely visible figure behind the screen and cautiously called out, "Your Majesty..."

Before he could even utter the word "help," a sharp gaze shot towards him.

His heart skipped a beat, and he immediately knelt down in fear, hurriedly saying, "Your Majesty, may you be blessed. This humble subject takes his leave."

Having said that, he didn't dare linger and fled as if escaping.

Behind the screen, Song Qingning, who was practicing calligraphy, had just witnessed Xie Xuanjin glaring at the Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies.

"Why should Your Majesty frighten him?"

"When did I scare him?" Xie Xuanjin coughed lightly.

"Weren't you scared? Then I must have been seeing things!"

A hint of guilt flashed in Xie Xuanjin's eyes. "I'm so young, why am I holding a birthday banquet?"
