The princess traveled through time for a year to help the prince build his kingdom and then left

Qin Rubing dragged her slightly tired body and slowly returned to Chaoyang Garden.

Along the way, she kept recalling the Queen's words and actions today, as if she wanted to imprint these details deeply in her heart.

After she stepped into the garden, she did not rush into the house to rest, but found a quiet stone bench to sit down.

The breeze brushed across her face, blowing up a few strands of hair, but she was unaware of it at the moment, simply concentrating on her own thoughts.

Qin Rubing began to carefully sort out the Queen's various behaviors today:

From the queen's dignified and noble demeanor to her subtle expressions; from her gentle yet dignified tone when talking to everyone, to her decisiveness and wisdom when facing some difficult problems...

All this seemed normal, but for some reason, Qin Rubing suddenly felt an indescribable strange feeling in her heart.

The feeling is like throwing a small stone into a calm lake. Although only a few tiny ripples appear at first, as time goes by, the ripples gradually spread out, stirring up the entire lake and making it no longer peaceful.

Qin Rubing really wanted to find out one thing: Is the Queen Chu Tiancheng’s biological mother?

After recent contacts, Qin Rubing felt that the Queen's hostility towards her was growing.

"Are you doubting the relationship between the Queen and the Crown Prince?"

Nanny Su is an old lady in the Prince's Mansion. She said to Qin Rubing:

"In fact, there are many secrets in this palace. I once heard some rumors that the queen is not the prince's biological mother..."

Qin Rubing was startled and was about to ask in detail, but Nanny Su waved her hand hastily: "Madam, I just heard about it."

"Could it be that Chu Tianxing is her biological son?" Qin Rubing guessed boldly.

Madam Su shook her head, "I don't know."

Qin Rubing frowned, and the doubts in her heart became more and more serious. If the queen was really not the prince's biological mother, then why was she targeting him like this?

Is there a bigger conspiracy behind this?

At this time, there was a commotion outside. It turned out that Chu Tianxing came to visit with a group of people.

Qin Rubing quickly tidied up her appearance and went out to greet them.

When Chu Tianxing saw Qin Rubing, a strange light flashed in his eyes.

"The Crown Princess looks quite tired today." Chu Tianxing said with a smile.

Qin Rubing responded politely, but was secretly alert in her heart.

Chu Tianxing looked around the yard, as if looking for something.

Suddenly, he saw the tea set on the table that had not been put away yet, so he asked, "Did anyone come to visit just now?"

Qin Rubing's heart skipped a beat. Just as she was about to speak, Nanny Su quickly replied, "Prince Yong, I was just here drinking tea and chatting with the queen."

Chu Tianxing's mouth curled up slightly, "I see."

After Chu Tianxing left, Qin Rubing breathed a sigh of relief.

But she knew that this matter must not end here, she must find out the truth about the relationship between the Queen and the Prince. Only in this way can she protect herself in this complicated court struggle.

Qin Rubing decided to start with Nanny Su.

She called Nanny Su to the inner room and asked softly:

"Mammy, do you know who else might know about the Queen and the Crown Prince?"

Nanny Su pondered for a moment and replied, "This old servant thinks of Eunuch Li in the Imperial Garden. He is usually the most well-informed."

Qin Rubing thought about it for a moment, and then arranged for someone to secretly look for Eunuch Li.

A few days later, the servant reported that he had taken Lord Li to a secluded place. Qin Rubing disguised herself and went to meet him.

When Eunuch Li saw Qin Rubing, he was so frightened that he trembled all over.

Qin Rubing comforted him, "Don't be afraid, sir. Just tell me the truth and I will protect you."

Eunuch Li hesitated for a long time, and finally told the truth:

"The Crown Prince is indeed not the Queen's biological son, and the Queen is targeting you because she discovered that the Emperor intends to make the Crown Prince the heir. If you give birth to a grandson, her position will certainly be threatened, so she wants to get rid of him first."

Qin Rubing was shocked when she heard this. She didn't expect there was such a reason behind it.
