The mysterious milk group, hands on hips, is being fought over by five dads who are going crazy over

Aning dissolved the talisman water in the water and carefully fed it to her mother.

I stood quietly by the bed and waited.

A short while later, Qiao Wan slowly woke up...

Her vision was blurry, and it took her a while to see things clearly.

When Qiao Wan met A Ning's bloodshot eyes, she trembled and instinctively tried to get up, but she was too weak and fell back down after only getting halfway up.

"Mother!"

"Madam Prime Minister." The Empress walked to the bedside and tucked the blanket around her.

"On my way back to the palace, I happened to see you unconscious in the bushes, so I ordered someone to bring you back."

"How are you feeling now? Are you feeling better?"

"Your Majesty the Empress..."

Qiao Wan was startled for a moment and struggled to get up, but was pressed back down by a pair of slender hands.

The Empress smiled gently and said, "Lie down, it's alright. Get up when you've rested enough."

"After taking the medicine, you might have more energy."

Qiao Wan was indeed very weak. Upon hearing this, she thanked him and lay back down.

"Mother!"

Ah Ning was small, standing on tiptoe by the bed, looking at her pitifully.

"It's all Aning's fault. Aning should have stayed with Mother the whole time, then Mother wouldn't have gotten into trouble..."

Qiao Wan felt a pang of sadness in her heart and laboriously raised her hand to touch her face.

"Silly child..."

"It's because your mother is unwell, how can you be blamed?"

Hearing this, Aning felt even more guilty.

Knowing full well that her mother was cursed and had always been in poor health, she hadn't paid enough attention to her mother's health; Ah Ning had been too negligent...

and many more!

curse?

Ah Ning's eyes widened suddenly, as if she had thought of something. She turned around and walked up to Xie Yunze, saying crisply:

"Father! Aning has something to say!"

Xie Yunze gave the Empress a look, signaling her to watch over Qiao Wan for a while, then led A Ning out of the bedchamber and found a secluded spot. "What is it?"

Ah Ning swallowed hard, her voice slightly hurried.

"Father, the curse on Mother Aning looks very similar to the one on Brother Xiao Huai!"

"Ah Ning can smell the curse! The smell is so similar! It's very likely that it was cast by the same person!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Yunze was utterly shocked: "What did you say?!"

Ah Ning tilted her head back and said, "Father, although Ah Ning doesn't know how to break the curse, she has a very keen sense of smell!"

"Moreover, Master said that the closer one is to the person who cast the curse, the stronger the curse's effect will be! So Mother fainted just now because she was very close to the person who cast the curse!"

"The one who cast the curse is in the palace!"

The two said this almost simultaneously!

Xie Yunze clenched his fists. "But in order to capture the person who used the Gu poison, I already ordered the palace gates to be sealed off, and so far we haven't found any suspicious people..."

"Who on earth was able to sneak into the palace without being detected?"

Ah Ning thought for a moment and said, "Not only that, that person also went to Grandpa's house before, but when Ah Ning went back the next day, she found that he was gone..."

"Grandfather?" Xie Yunze frowned. "Prince Yong'an?"

As if sensing something was amiss, the little guy waved his hands repeatedly, "Daddy, don't misunderstand! The one who cast the curse wasn't Grandpa Aning, it was a very, very mysterious person!"

mystery?

So mysterious that he could freely enter and leave the Yong'an Prince's Mansion and the Imperial Palace without arousing suspicion?

Xie Yunze's face was grim, and his eyes were filled with malice.

This so-called mysterious person must be someone close to him!

Not wanting to frighten the child, Xie Yunze calmly instructed, "A-Ning, go inside first. Father has some things to tell you."

Upon hearing this, A-Ning nodded obediently: "Okay."

Although she was still young, she could guess that her father was going to send someone to find that mysterious person!

Once found, there will be a way to break the curse on Mother!

Thinking this, Ah Ning stood by the door and cast a divination.

No matter how she calculated it, the divination showed that the person she was looking for was no longer in the palace...

hateful!

Missed it again!

Once we find him, Aning, I'll punish him severely! I'll make him pay for hurting my mother!

The imperial physician arrived quickly.

Aning watched as her mother drank a bowl of dark, murky medicine and asked:

"Mother, is it bitter?"

Qiao Wan swallowed the bitterness in her throat, shook her head and smiled, "It's not bitter."

With that, she struggled to get out of bed and gave the Empress a deep bow.

"I am very grateful for Your Majesty's rescue today. I apologize for any inconvenience caused."

The Empress naturally didn't take it to heart. "The fact that the Prime Minister's wife is safe and sound is the greatest comfort."

Qiao Wan: "Then I won't bother you any longer. The palace gates will be locked soon, so I'll take Aning and leave the palace now."

The Empress nodded and watched them leave, then immediately gave instructions to the palace maids.

"Go and investigate what exactly happened at the Prime Minister's residence during this period."

She paused, then added, "Investigate every detail thoroughly."

"yes!"

When Aning and Qiao Wan left the bedroom, Xie Yunze was no longer outside.

But I left them a message.

The eunuch bowed slightly and said in a high-pitched voice:

"Princess Ruiyi, Lady Xiang..."

"His Majesty left a message saying that the Sixth Prince has awakened and that His Majesty is in a hurry to visit him, so he left first."

"The palace gates are now sealed. If you two wish to leave, this servant will escort you out of the palace."

Hearing the words "Princess Ruiyi," Qiao Wan was somewhat confused, wondering what had happened during the afternoon she had been unconscious.

But she said nothing, took Ah Ning's cold little hand, and followed the little eunuch out of Kunning Palace.

Only after she had completely left the palace and watched the heavy palace gates slowly close did she finally ask the question that had been nagging at her all the way.

"Ah Ning, what happened while Mother was unconscious?"

"Why did that little eunuch call you princess?"

Upon hearing this, Ah Ning's eyes lit up, and she proudly raised her chin, looking up at her with a smile.

"Mother!"

"Thank you, Father! You've bestowed upon Aning the title of princess! Father said 'Ruiyi' is an honorary title for Aning, so from now on, Aning is a princess!"

"How about that? Isn't Aning amazing! Daddy said no one can bully the princess!"

Aning's eyes sparkled, eagerly anticipating seeing pride and joy on her mother's face.

Qiao Wan was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled and squatted down to look her in the eye, affectionately pinching her cheek.

"The daughter of a subject was exceptionally granted the title of princess. Our little Aning is the first one since the founding of the Great Liang Dynasty. Of course, she is incredibly remarkable."

"Your mother is proud of you."

That's great. One godfather can be richer than a country, and one godfather can command the world.

With two such powerful people protecting her, anyone who tries to harm Aning would have to think twice before giving up their head!
