Quick wear: a good pregnancy, the treasure in the palm of an emperor's hand

After knowing that he had a child, Xie Yanci became more attentive to his own life experience.

He wanted to know who he was and why he was imprisoned in the other courtyard.

That night, while Xie Yanci was asleep, Yun Youran slipped out of the Governor's Mansion.

She first went to the Cining Palace and placed a letter next to the empress dowager's pillow.

The content is that she knew that the Queen Mother had kidnapped the prince and imprisoned him, and she also knew where the prince who escaped was.

If she wants to shut up as an insider, she must meet her in Room 3 of the Phoenix Pavilion Restaurant in Beijing at 9:00 p.m. tomorrow.

Otherwise, she would report the matter to the emperor and expose some of the Zhao family's shameful deeds.

For example, Prince Rong was not the emperor's son, but a bastard of the Zhao family.

Apart from the Empress Dowager, the Prime Minister, and the Minister of Personnel and his wife, not even the current Empress Zhao Shuhe herself knew this secret.

That year, the Queen and the Imperial Concubine entered the palace together, and not long after, they announced that they were pregnant.

Later, Prince Ling rebelled and the Queen died in childbirth. The Imperial Concubine gave birth successfully. Unfortunately, it was not known whether it was because the Zhao family had committed too many evil things and God would not tolerate it, or because the Imperial Concubine herself was not a good person, the prince she gave birth to had a disfigured face, with a large black spot on his left cheek.

A prince with a disfigured face has no chance of becoming emperor.

The Zhao family was also afraid that the imperial concubine would give birth to a prince with a disfigured face, which would be detrimental to them, so they discussed with the empress dowager and decided to go all out and simply secretly replace the child.

It just so happened that a bastard son had just been born into the Zhao family, so the prime minister brought the bastard son into the palace, and the prince was given to the aunt of Zhao Shuhe's brother.

If there were no suitable children, the prime minister would not want to exchange the illegitimate son into the palace. However, although the child exchanged into the palace was a illegitimate son, he was still a member of the Zhao family after all.

If this bastard could successfully ascend the throne and become emperor, then wouldn't his Zhao family be able to turn the tables?

After putting the letter away, Yun Youran left the Cining Palace.

After leaving the palace, she came to a dilapidated temple outside the city, found a beggar, gave him twenty taels of silver, and asked him to deliver a letter to the Governor's Mansion early the next morning.

She also told him that the letter was for the Duke of Jiuqian, and that after the letter was delivered, she would give him another thirty taels of silver.

The beggar looked at the twenty taels of silver, smiled so hard that his teeth were showing, and nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Just by delivering a letter, you can get fifty taels of silver. Even a fool would know what to do.

The content of the letter was that she invited Xie Yanci to meet in private room No. 2 of Phoenix Pavilion at 9:00 tomorrow, and she had information about his identity.

Afterwards, Yun Youran went to the Zhao family again and placed a letter next to the prime minister's pillow. The content of the letter was exactly the same as the one from the empress dowager.

She also threatened the two of them that if they did not do as she said, did not go to the Phoenix Pavilion Restaurant in person to keep the appointment, or pretended to obey her and brought someone with them, she would also expose the matter.

The next day, just after Xie Yanci and Yun Youran finished their breakfast, Guard Qin came to him with a letter.

Xie Yanci did not hide the letter from Yun Youran and opened the letter in front of him.

Looking at the contents of the letter, his brows furrowed.

As for his search for his background, he had always been searching in secret, and no one knew about it except his confidants.

So who sent this letter and what was his purpose?

Could it be that there was a traitor among his own people, causing the news of his search for his background to be leaked?

Xie Yanci looked at Guard Qin and said, "Go and tell the commander of the secret guards to arrange for someone to check if anyone among my people has betrayed you."

"Yes, Governor." Guard Qin turned and left.

Yun Youran reached out to smooth his frown and asked softly, "But what happened?"

Xie Yanci looked at Yun Youran, his eyes full of tenderness, "It's not a big deal, don't worry, no matter what happens, I will handle it myself."

He had originally wanted to tell Yun Youran about his life story, but when she became pregnant, he stopped talking to her to prevent her from worrying about all these messy things.

Although he knew that she was capable, he just wanted her to enjoy her life and he would take on all the blood and gore outside.

In the Cining Palace, the Queen Mother woke up and saw a letter beside her pillow.

She called the nanny who served her into the bedroom and asked her about the origin of the letter. The nanny looked as if she understood everything.

"My Queen Mother, I have never entered your bedroom, nor have I allowed anyone to enter before you woke up."

The nanny was very confused. She had been keeping watch outside the palace and had not let in even a fly, so where did this letter come from?

"Your Majesty, I have not left your room since last night. How did this letter appear in your bedroom?"

The Queen Mother glared at her, thinking she was talking nonsense.

She, a person who was awake and on guard, didn't know, so how could she, who was asleep, know?

Seeing that she really didn't know, the Queen Mother had no choice but to call out the secret guards.

When the secret guard came in and saw the letter in the empress dowager's hand, he was also confused.

They had been keeping watch very closely and hadn't heard any noise.

But how did this letter escape their eyes and enter the Queen Mother's bedroom?

I can't figure it out and I can't understand it.

One secret guard could not have discovered it, but there were ten secret guards with high martial arts skills guarding the Cining Palace, and none of them discovered it. It was a bit unreasonable.

Ever since the last theft in the Cining Palace, in which the Empress Dowager had her hair shaved into a yin-yang style, she had arranged for ten secret guards with high martial arts skills to guard the Cining Palace. She didn't want something like that to happen again.

"Ten secret guards didn't notice someone entering my bedroom. What a bunch of rubbish."

The Queen Mother had a gloomy face and her eyes were full of cruelty and resentment.

Whenever she thought about the fact that someone had broken into her dormitory without anyone noticing, she felt like she was going to kill someone.

It was like this before and it is like this now. Those secret guards deserve to be damned.

If that person wanted to take her life, then she would never have woken up this morning.

The same thing happened to the Zhao family. When the prime minister woke up and saw the letter on his pillow, he gathered everyone and asked about what happened last night.

After asking around, he found out that no one had noticed what happened last night. He was so angry that his teeth were itching and his face was so gloomy that ink could drip out of it.

Whenever the prime minister thought of the contents of the letter, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Such a threat must not be let go, otherwise the Zhao family will be finished.

He did it quietly back then and he swapped the children himself. Apart from the empress dowager, only he, his son and his wife knew about it in the Zhao family.

But how did this person know?

And knowing this secret, she was able to keep it to herself for so many years.

The prime minister's thoughts were racing, but he couldn't figure out what went wrong.
