The little princess' mind was read, and the court and harem were eating melons

No matter how Li Qingyi thought about it, she felt... weird.

She could understand that under such circumstances, the scene would have been very chaotic.

But no matter how chaotic the situation is, a princess of a county must have at least some people around her, right?

How could someone replace your child?

Li Qingyi: [Doesn’t the Princess have any feelings herself? ]

The system whispered: [Not long after the Princess gave birth, she suffered a hemorrhage. ]

Li Qingyi: [hiss…]

Although she has never given birth to a child, she knows how deadly postpartum hemorrhage can be.

Even in modern times, the mortality rate from postpartum hemorrhage is not small, let alone in ancient times when medical conditions were backward.

In this day and age, encountering this kind of situation is basically equivalent to a death sentence.

Li Qingyi: [Then, didn’t the person who delivered the baby notice anything wrong? This isn’t a real young master swapped with a fake one, this is a boy and a girl! ]

System: [Someone knows. I don’t know why they didn’t explain the situation to the princess at that time.]

The system didn't understand, but Li Qingyi figured it out after thinking about it for a while.

Although Li Qingyi was still young, he had met the eldest princess several times, and had also met Princess Fu'an, the most favored princess around her, several times.

She didn't have much contact with the Princess Fu'an, but she could tell from the few times they met that she was a rather spoiled little girl who always looked up at people with her chin up.

As for the eldest princess... Li Qingyi vaguely remembered that he seemed to have heard someone say before that the eldest princess would be in a bad mood every year when it was the anniversary of her youngest son's death.

She must love her youngest son very much. Come to think of it, youngest sons are usually more favored.

Li Qingyi: [I'm afraid that those who knew at the time didn't dare to speak, and those who didn't know would not speak either. ]

System: [Why wouldn't you dare say this? Liu Yankang wasn't even a minister at the time. If you had said it, wouldn't it have been better to just exchange the child back? ]

Li Qingyi: [I'm afraid those people were afraid that the princess would have a fit because of this. After all, the child would be replaced, and no one present could escape responsibility.]

[Plus, the Princess Consort had passed away, and no one had told the Princess. The Princess did not know the truth, and because they had served the Princess Consort, she would still treat them well.]

[It is normal for this situation to occur due to conflicts of interest. 】

After hearing Li Qingyi's words, everyone was once again impressed by the little princess's intelligence.

This is too smart, not like a child at all.

The Queen had the same idea as Li Qingyi, and she quickly understood why this matter had not been discovered until now.

In the end, the queen could only sigh in her heart: "It is hard to find a loyal servant."

If it was a loyal servant who discovered this at the time, he probably wouldn't have had so many concerns and would have directly exposed the matter in front of the princess. Then the identities of Princess Fu'an and Liu Yinzhu would not have been exchanged for more than ten years.

In fact, if Li Qingyi had not had such a fortuitous encounter and let them hear about it, Liu Yinzhu, the young prince who should have lived a life of wealth and honor, would have died in place of Princess Fu'an.

Just thinking about it made the queen feel a little suffocated.

The Queen now only hopes that the Emperor will hear the news soon so that she and her husband can discuss what to do about the matter!

The system also asked Li Qingyi: [Host, now that we know that Liu Yinzhu is not Liu Yankang's son, how can we help him change his identity? ]

Li Qingyi: [I don’t know.]

System: [Huh?]

Li Qingyi put her hands on both sides of her face, and the baby fat on her cheeks looked more obvious. She looked ahead blankly and said to the system: [I can't just run to my aunt and tell her: Aunt, your little granddaughter is not actually your little granddaughter, you actually have a little grandson. ]

System: [Huh?]

Li Qingyi: [Even if I want to tell her, I have to have evidence. Otherwise, at my age, people will just think I'm talking nonsense.]

[Besides, my aunt loves Princess Fu'an so much. If I tell her directly without any evidence, the princess will not only not believe me, but may even hate me.]

The system was shocked: [Why! Aren’t you kind-hearted? Why do I still hate you?! ]

Li Qingyi sighed: [Because my aunt will think that I am maliciously provoking. ]

System: [What should we do? Tell the Queen and let her check it out? ]

Li Qingyi: [How should I explain to my mother how I knew this? Just tell her, Mom, I actually have a system that knows a lot of things, and it told me that my aunt's grandson was replaced by a granddaughter! Is that right?]

System: […No, no? ]

Li Qingyi was silent for a moment.

System: [Host?]

Li Qingyi slowly stood up, thinking: [It's not impossible. ]

Hearing this, the Queen stood up suddenly, inexplicably a little nervous, and asked the maid beside her: "Yier, are you going to confess to me? W-Will anything go wrong?"

The maid didn't understand and became nervous: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the little princess really told you this, then, then should we cooperate?"

The queen was stunned for a moment, but soon understood what the palace maids meant - the orders they had received before were to keep everything as it was and try not to let Li Qingyi notice anything unusual.

Well, if Li Qingyi comes and explains this matter later, what should be the normal reaction of the queen?

How should the other palace servants react so as not to appear awkward?

Or... a briefing between both parties?

But, but...

The emperor, who had just arrived, also heard the news. He raised his hand to stop the person who was reporting, and squinted his eyes to listen to his daughter's soft voice coming from inside.

Li Qingyi: [Anyway, I have already acted very strangely. I even heard some palace maids whispering that I was a demon. My intelligence can no longer be concealed, so I might as well add a personality to it.]

【Don’t worry if you have too much debt. 】

System: [What! Who said that you are a monster? Who!]

The emperor also frowned, and his eyes cut like a knife at the people kneeling silently beside him.

Eunuch Huang also knelt down and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, do you want to investigate?"

The emperor glanced at him coldly: Nonsense!

Eunuch Huang immediately waved his hand behind him and asked someone to check what was going on.

Oh my God!

Don't let him know who is so bold as to make up such a story about his master. He is really courting his life!

Li Qingyi: [I don’t know. I don’t know every palace person. I only know that he is from Chuxiu Palace.]

Eunuch Huang suddenly became alert and immediately arranged for another person to investigate.

When the emperor heard the word Chuxiu Palace, he thought about it in his mind and remembered the Shufei who lived in the main seat of Chuxiu Palace.

He had a good impression of Concubine Shu, and did not immediately pin the incident on Concubine Shu. He just thought that it must be the palace servants around the concubines in Concubine Shu's palace who were talking nonsense, and Concubine Shu herself should not be aware of it.

Little do they know that the more they think like this, the more likely they are to be slapped in the face in the end.
