After becoming a princess, she fell in love with the emperor of the enemy country

Qi Zi burst into tears. Ye Jiu sent her out and came back soon.

Aunt Qing's eyes were red at this time. She glanced at Ye Jiu and smiled, "I underestimated the Prince Consort."

Ye Jiu refused to give in, "You are blind if you underestimate me. It doesn't hurt to tell you that the Gu among you is raised by me."

Of course, it wasn't actually raised by him, but by Ye Ersi. He was now testing whether the kid had been slacking off while he was away.

Aunt Qing didn't want to argue with him about any Gu matters. The most important thing right now was her husband and children.

She wiped the tears from her face and said, "I have answered all the questions Princess asked. Every word is true. When will the Prince Consort let us go?"

Ye Jiu snorted coldly. Of course he knew that what Aunt Qing said was true, otherwise the poisonous insects in their bodies would have become restless long ago.

Ye Jiu raised his eyebrows and said jokingly, "I can let you go, but you have to forget the people and things here first. Today, you have not been to this dungeon, have not seen the princess, and have not seen me. Your family is at home today and has not gone out. Remember?"

Aunt Qing nodded.

Ye Jiu added, "Not just you," Ye Jiu pointed at the three people who fell to the ground, "but also them."

"Otherwise," Ye Jiu's expression became fierce, "Only the dead can keep secrets, understand?"

Aunt Qing was terrified. She knew Ye Jiu was serious. "Understand...understood. This servant, my husband, and the children will not say anything nonsense."

Ye Jiu was certainly not worried that they would go and tell on the secrets, because before that, they would be killed by the poisonous insects in their bodies. He said that just to give them a warning.

Ye Jiu touched her hair and said, "You should take a nap first. When you wake up, you will be home."

Aunt Qing suddenly felt her eyelids heavy, the world was spinning, and she lost consciousness.

It was already evening when she woke up again. The familiar curtains made Aunt Qing realize that she had returned to her home in Jihe County.

She quickly sat up, looked around, and checked herself to make sure she was not hurt.

She looked at her husband lying beside her and sniffed his breath, finding that he was still alive. Aunt Qing did not dare to relax and hurried to the children's room, where the children were also sleeping soundly.

Perhaps because he heard the sound of Aunt Qing opening the door, brother Chunri woke up first, rubbed his eyes, and asked in a daze, "Mom? Why are you here?"

After saying that, he looked at the sky outside and touched his stomach. "It's not even daybreak yet, why am I hungry?"

Aunt Qing was stunned. At this time, her sister Xia Lian also woke up and said, "Mom, I'm hungry too."

Qian Li came over and touched the heads of the two little guys with a smile, "What do you mean it's not even daybreak yet? It's almost night time." Then he looked at Aunt Qing and said, "Mother Qing, how come I fell asleep? Is everything ok at the government office?"

Aunt Qing's eyes widened. Did they remember nothing? Or was it just a dream?

Aunt Qing thought of Ye Jiu’s warning again. No matter what, it would be best not to remember it.

Aunt Qing laughed and said, "It's okay. You are just too tired. And you two troublemakers, you are hungry. Come and help me. I will cook for you now."

Chunri cheered and jumped into Aunt Qing's arms with a smile, "Mom, I want to eat buns. I just had a dream. In the dream, there were big, delicious meat buns."

Aunt Qing didn't think much about it, just thinking that Chunri was greedy, and nodded in agreement.

But Xia Lian also took it over, "Mom, I dreamed about meat buns too."

Aunt Qing's heart skipped a beat. Could it be a dream? She turned around and looked at Qian Li with a complicated expression. The latter nodded in confusion, "Strange to say, I dreamt about it too."

Aunt Qing was feeling cold all over at this moment. That incident really happened. She really told the princess about her life experience. They really were poisoned.

"Qing Niang? Qing Niang?" Aunt Qing suddenly came back to her senses and saw three worried faces. Qian Li came over and took Chun Ri from Aunt Qing's hand. "What's wrong? Are you tired from traveling last night?"

Aunt Qing quickly smiled and shook her head, "No, I just remembered that I also dreamed of meat buns."

She turned around and looked at the child on the bed, scratched Haruhi's nose, and touched Xia Lian's head, "Then let's eat buns tonight, okay?"

"Okay," the two little guys said in unison.

Aunt Qing didn't notice that Qian Li behind her had a strange expression on his face.

That night, the children were asleep, and Aunt Qing and Qian were lying on the bed.

Aunt Qing was distracted. Qian Li sighed and held Aunt Qing's hand.

Aunt Qing came back to her senses and looked at him, "What happened during the day today?"

Aunt Qing's first reaction was to put Qian Li off, but Qian Li saw through her intention and said, "I'm not a three-year-old child."

Aunt Qing had no choice but to tell him everything word for word.

Qian Li was silent for a while. How could a mere county magistrate like him get involved in such royal secrets?

The fact that the Prince Consort asked them to forget proved that he had no intention of harming them and even wanted to protect them.

Qian Li glanced at Aunt Qing and sighed, "Mother Qing, please stay here and stop working for the Imperial Concubine. It's better for us to be together as a family."

Aunt Qing was moved. She also wanted to stay, but how could the imperial concubine let her leave so easily?

After weighing the pros and cons, Aunt Qing rejected Qian Li. She turned her back, not wanting Qian Li to see her red eyes. "I am following the Empress now. I don't have to worry about food and clothing. I also have a bounty. I can help you."

As a couple for ten years, how could Qian Li not know what Aunt Qing was thinking? "Why not go and ask the princess for help?"

This actually pointed out a clear path for Aunt Qing. Perhaps the princess could really save them.

Aunt Qing turned over and looked at Qian Li, "I always feel that there should be someone else in the dungeon during the day."

The prince consort and the princess were in perfect harmony. Looking at the prince consort's nervous expression, he would not leave the princess alone, remembering that he would be back soon after being away for only a short while.

So there should have been other people at the corner not far from the dungeon at that time.

As for who that person was, Aunt Qing also had a guess.

"It should be Empress Xuan."

Qian Li was surprised. Although he didn't know much about it, Qing Niang had mentioned to him that the princess's mother, Concubine Yin, and Empress Xuan's mother, Concubine He, were incompatible.

Because Concubine Yin was afraid of He's favor, she ordered Concubine Ning to kill one of her children.

So, how did the princess get together with Queen Xuan?

Aunt Qing knew what she was thinking at a glance, "My husband, you don't know, the princess has been good friends with Empress Xuan since she was young, but because of some things, the two of them gradually drifted apart. I believe that the misunderstanding has been resolved by now."

Qian Li nodded, "Then can we ask Empress Xuan to help plead for mercy?"

"Heh," a chuckle came from above. Aunt Qing thought she had heard it wrong. She glanced at Qian Li, and Qian Li's expression showed that he had heard it too.

Then another male voice was heard, with no emotion to be heard, "They are just two ants, yet you are so ignorant of the world and order others around at will?"
