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

"Get up quickly, you don't need to kneel." Song Qingning held the little prince in her arms and reached out to help him up.

He gave the person in front of him a quick look.

He was dressed in the clothes of a low-ranking eunuch in the palace; he was a minor eunuch.

Song Qingning tried to help him up, but the little eunuch seemed to instinctively shrink back, looking terrified. "This servant is terrified, this servant is of lowly status, I dare not trouble myself..."

He wanted to say that he wouldn't dare trouble the Empress, but another large hand behind him first supported his arm.

The large hand was strong and powerful. The little eunuch looked up and saw the emperor. His fear intensified.

"Get up!" Xie Xuanjin felt a wave of fear wash over him.

He dared not imagine what would have happened if it hadn't been for that little eunuch.

fortunately!

Xie Xuanjin breathed a long sigh of relief.

only……

"You're injured!"

Not only Xie Xuanjin, but Song Qingning also saw the long bloodstain on the eunuch's face, which was clearly visible and almost grotesque even in the dim light.

The uneven stones on the ground, judging from the situation just now, this injury must have been caused by the stones on the ground.

Song Qingning felt increasingly frightened and immediately said, "Summon the imperial physician."

The group dispersed.

Xie Xuanjin and Song Qingning returned to Jinhua Palace, bringing the young eunuch with them.

Inside Jinhua Palace, the imperial physician treated the young eunuch's wound.

The situation is not good.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, his wound is too deep and too long..."

The wound was so deep that you could see the bone in the face, and the flesh was turned outwards, stretching from the corner of the eye all the way to the corner of the mouth.

"Even if it heals, with the best medicine, that scar will probably stay with you for life. Your face is ruined!"

The imperial physician sighed.

Xie Xuanjin and Song Qingning both frowned.

The eunuch was disfigured while saving Heng'er. Even after his injuries were healed, they felt grateful but also guilty. Now that the imperial physician said the scar would stay with him for life, their guilt only intensified.

The eunuch smirked, "This servant is of lowly status, but His Highness is of incomparably noble. It's just a scar. As long as His Highness is unharmed, this injury is worth it."

He said this with great sincerity, as if disfigurement was truly worthwhile.

He tried his best to force a smile, but because of the injury on his face, even the slightest movement caused him excruciating pain, and the smile also revealed a hint of ferocity.

The more this happened, the more guilty Xie Xuanjin and Song Qingning felt.

"What's your name?" Song Qingning asked.

"Your Majesty, this servant's name is Wu Wang."

"Wu Wang..."

Xie Xuanjin glanced at the wound on his face and instructed the imperial physician, "No matter what, do everything you can to treat the wound on his face."

The imperial physician accepted the order.

Take Wu Wang downstairs to treat his injuries.

That very evening, information about Wu Wang appeared on the desk in Jinhua Palace.

Xie Xuanjin looked at the contents of the paper.

Wu Wang entered the palace two years ago. Initially, he did menial tasks such as sweeping and cleaning. He was introverted and was often ostracized.

When Empress Dowager Xue wanted to send someone to the imperial mausoleum, all the eunuchs and palace women in the palace avoided this task. Many people tried to bribe officials and embezzle funds, fearing that being selected to go to the imperial mausoleum would ruin their future.

Wu Wang was pushed out and sent to the imperial mausoleum.

After Xie Yuqi died, all the palace maids and eunuchs were brought back to the palace.

"Is there anything suspicious about his identity?" Song Qingning understood Xie Xuanjin's thoughts and what he was going to do.

Xie Xuanjin shook his head, "This identity seems unquestionable, but..."

But he felt there was something fishy about what happened tonight.

After calming down, Song Qingning felt the same way.

The couple remained silent for a moment in the room.

After a while, they all made the same decision.

The next day, just as dawn broke, an imperial edict arrived at the eunuchs' quarters in the palace.

The new emperor ordered that Wu Wang be transferred to Jinhua Palace and promoted to the position of Deputy Palace Attendant, a rank of sixth grade.

For a time, all the palace maids and eunuchs envied the young eunuch who was about to rise to prominence because he had saved the little prince.

Those who had once ostracized him now rushed to curry favor with him.

"Congratulations, Mr. Wang! I hope you will give me your guidance in the future."

Wu Wang heard many of these things.

He did not hold a grudge because he had been ostracized. On the contrary, he was kind and extremely humble, and he did not become arrogant because he had saved the young prince.

After serving in Jinhua Palace for a month, everyone praised him highly.

They say he is kind-hearted and approachable.

Almost everyone says he's good.

And he...

It seems to be really good.

At least that's what Song Qingning observed.

He even used makeup to cover up the scars after seeing Song Qingning staring at the wounds on his face and showing remorse on several occasions.

But the scar was really too big and too hideous.

Unable to conceal it, he tried his best to appear less often in front of Song Qingning and Xie Xuanjin.

For several months, Song Qingning and Xie Xuanjin were unable to discover his purpose, seemingly indicating that he truly had no ulterior motives.

Unable to find out, Song Qingning asked directly.

Xie Heng's first birthday celebration had just passed when Song Qingning called him over.

"You saved the young prince back then, and the Emperor and I are sincerely grateful to you. We have only promoted you, but that is still not enough. What else do you want? The Emperor and I will grant it all."

Song Qingning looked at the people standing in front of the hall.

His face was extremely ordinary, and his eyes were honest and unassuming.

Even Song Qingning couldn't help but doubt herself. Was she being too suspicious of this person, who was also Heng'er's savior?

As soon as Song Qingning finished speaking, Wu Wang knelt down on the ground with a thud, his face full of fear. "This servant has no other requests. Your Majesty the Empress and the Emperor have already made this servant's life a blessing, from a lowly eunuch to the current position of Deputy Attendant. This servant has no other requests."

"If Your Majesty suspects me of any ulterior motives, I am willing to die to prove my innocence!"

I will die to prove my innocence!

Now, everyone in and outside the court knows that he saved the young prince.

How could he die?

Neither Song Qingning nor Xie Xuanjin could treat their son's savior in this way.

"I shouldn't have doubted you!" Song Qingning recalled the events of that night countless times, but couldn't find any oversights.

Wu Wang's words at this moment made Song Qingning realize that she had been suspicious and felt even more guilty.

After that day, Song Qingning's suspicions lessened considerably.

Wu Wang was extremely low-key, and because he handled things properly, he was quickly promoted to the position of Supervisor.

Business as usual.

In the second year after Song Qingning became empress, Xie Xuanjin abolished the ironclad rule that the empress's harem should not interfere in politics and joined forces with Song Qingning to govern.

Empress Dowager Meng reorganized the women's battalion, with Gu Ying as its commander.

In just one year, the women's camp grew from a few thousand to tens of thousands of people.

Lady Anguo's girls' schools have spread throughout Dajing. Now, in Dajing, a woman's future is no longer limited to being a wife and mother.

In the same year, Emperor Beirong died, and the second prince ascended the throne.

Upon receiving the news, Wan Zi learned that the new emperor of Beirong had sent several groups of people to Dajing, and had even issued an order: he wanted to see the person alive or dead.

"The new emperor of Beirong is determined to eliminate the threat completely, but after the fire at Sifangguan a few years ago, Tuoba Rui disappeared without a trace, as if he vanished into thin air."

When Wan Zi entered the palace, she mentioned this matter to Song Qingning during a casual conversation.

Song Qingning put down her teacup and said nonchalantly, "How could he disappear into thin air? It's just that we don't know where he's hiding or what his identity is."

"Mother..."

Song Qingning had just finished speaking when she heard Xie Heng call her.

Xie Heng ran happily towards her.

Behind Xie Heng, Wu Wang looked nervous, as if afraid that Xie Heng would fall. Seeing Song Qingning and Wan Zi talking, he hesitated for a moment, stopped, and dared not go forward.

But Xie Heng turned around and waved to him, "Come here!"
