Listening to her daughter's heartfelt words, the pregnant Lady Hou went on a killing spree.

As the group went downstairs, everyone around could hear the child crying incessantly.

Mo Wen and Mo Da, who were waiting at the shop entrance, were startled.

"What's wrong with the little princess?"

"I don't know. She was crying uncontrollably in the private room just now. I need to hurry back and find a doctor to take a look."

Mo Wen knew that there were Thousand-Clad Guards guarding the area, so he didn't go in with them but just stood guard at the entrance. Now he regretted it immensely.

The group hurriedly boarded the carriage and returned to the Marquis of Anshun's residence. On the way, Mo Wen had already sent someone to fetch Doctor Zhao.

After thinking for a moment, he asked his younger brother to tell the master that the little princess was crying uncontrollably. Given the master's concern for his wife and the little princess, he would surely bring the imperial physician to take a look.

Mo Wen was right. After hearing Mo Da's words, Prince Shun went straight to the palace to find the imperial physician.

He naturally trusted Dr. Zhao's medical skills, and it would be even better if more people could see him.

After a flurry of activity, half an hour had passed by the time Xiao Ce hurriedly arrived at Qinghe Courtyard with the imperial physician.

An'an cried incessantly inside the room, leaving Doctor Zhao at a loss.

"The little princess has no illness, and I don't know why she's crying so much."

After they returned, the maids stripped An'an of all her clothes and examined her skin thoroughly, but they couldn't find any wounds. They just couldn't figure out why she was crying so much.

The lady is not well either. She probably caught a chill while out for a spring outing. When she returned to the manor, she lay on the bed feeling dizzy and weak, and didn't even have the strength to hold the little princess.

The three maids felt overwhelmed.

Doctor Zhao took Ji Yueru's pulse as she lay in bed, and was filled with doubt as he did so.

The lady's pulse is much better than it was a few months ago. I don't know what kind of magic medicine she took to recover so quickly.

Even though Prince Shun and the imperial physician were still quite a distance away, as soon as they entered Qinghe Courtyard, all they could hear was An'an's irritable voice.

She's not my mother! The person in bed isn't my mother! My mother is in the Hundred Robes Pavilion!

Zhiyi, Chunhua, hurry and save my mother!

An An's desperate voice was mixed with sobs. Xiao Ce was shocked. As soon as he entered the room, his gaze fell on An An, who was crying uncontrollably in Shu Yi's arms.

Seeing her little face red from crying, he quickly reached out his hand.

"Seduce me, please."

Shuyi was at her wit's end. Knowing that Prince Shun wouldn't harm the little princess, she quickly handed her over.

Xiao Ce carried An'an a little further away, then whispered in his ear, "You know the mother lying in bed is fake, An'an, stop crying. You'll ruin your voice if you keep crying."

An'an's crying stopped abruptly, and she stared wide-eyed at Xiao Ce, who was holding her.

Can you hear my heart?

"Um."

Xiao Ce did not deny it at this time.

"Then hurry! Mother has been switched at her private room on the second floor of Baiyi Pavilion, and we still don't know where she is."

"I know, don't worry."

At this moment, Xiao Ce was also very anxious, but he couldn't rush things.

"Go and get some milk."

After giving the instructions, Xiao Ce carried An'an out of the house and looked at the white tiger waiting outside.

"Have our men surround the Hundred Robes Pavilion, but don't disturb the people inside yet."

Baihu didn't know what had happened, but he knew it must be something very important, so he went to do as instructed.

Ji Yueru's milk supply was not very good, so the household often kept milk on hand. There was some in the small kitchen in the courtyard, so Zhiyi quickly went to fetch it.

"Chunhua, drag the woman out of the bed. She is not your master."

The maids were utterly shocked.

"Your Highness, you're not joking?"

Xiao Ce did not answer.

"An'an was crying so hard, didn't you suspect anything?"

Xiao Ce's anger was directed at the three maids. Their master had been switched at birth, yet none of them had noticed. He really didn't know how they could be servants.

Chunhua had already sensed something was wrong. She went to the bedside, pulled back the blanket, and dragged the fake Ji Yueru off.

The fake Ji Yue Ru was startled when she was suddenly pulled off the bed.

"Chunhua, how dare you defy your superior!"

Chunhua pinched the fake Ji Yueru's neck and searched her face but found nothing.

Xiao Ce fed An'an milk with a spoon, and An'an ate very quickly; she was really hungry.

"Stop touching her. Her face is real, and she looks very much like your master, but she is not your master."

Zhiyi stepped forward and ripped the hairpin off the woman's head, parting her hair to reveal a black mole that had been hidden by her hair.

Even Chunhua and Shuyi, who served her closely, did not know. Only she, who had been by the lady's side since childhood, knew.

But now that the mole on her head was gone, Zhiyi was so shocked that she sat down on the ground, finally believing that the woman in front of her was not the madam.

"How could this be? The madam has been right under our noses the whole time. How could she have been switched?"

"Think about the place where the item is most likely to be switched."

The three maids simultaneously thought of the same place: the small cubicles in the Hundred Clothes Pavilion for trying on clothes.

"It's the Hundred Robes Pavilion!"

While they were talking, An'an tilted her head, making it clear that she was full.

Xiao Ce put down the spoon in his hand, pulled the sheet from the bed and wrapped An An tightly against his chest, covering her with his large coat so that only her head was exposed.

Now that Ji Yueru is no longer by his side, he doesn't feel comfortable leaving An'an anywhere; he has to take care of her personally.

"Guards, take him back to the palace and lock him in the underground dungeon."

The woman on the ground was already trembling, and Xiao Ce didn't waste his time on her, knowing he wouldn't get anything out of her.

"Chunhua, you're coming with me to Baiyi Pavilion."

After giving his instructions, Xiao Ce strode out, and Chunhua quickly followed.

Zhiyi and Shuyi really wanted to go, but they also knew that if they went, they would only be a hindrance.

They couldn't even protect the little princess if she were placed beside them; they could only pray to God to keep the lady safe and sound.

When the two arrived at the gate of the Marquis of Anshun's mansion, horses were already prepared. Chunhua, who could not ride a horse, was led by someone, and the group rode their horses at full speed toward Baiyi Pavilion.

The Thousand Guards also received the news that Ji Yueru had been switched at the first opportunity and urgently sent the message back to the palace.

Upon seeing its master arrive, the white tiger emerged from the shadows.

"Your Highness, the Hundred Robes Pavilion is completely surrounded by our men. Not even a fly can escape."

"Let's do it."

At Xiao Ce's command, all the men in black who had been hiding in the shadows were mobilized and surrounded the Hundred Robes Pavilion.

You should know that Baiyi Pavilion is holding an event today, and quite a few ladies from prominent families have come.

They were all startled by the sudden appearance of the men in black. When they saw that the leader was Prince Shun, even those who had grievances in their hearts dared not complain.

"Arrest the imperial criminal; all unrelated personnel must leave immediately."

Baihu stood at the door and shouted, and the guests in the lobby left one after another.

Xiao Ce stood at the door holding An An. He didn't need to check carefully; An An could tell who her mother was.

No, no, none of that!
