My Fair Princess: The Queen's Rebirth

Chapter 4: Xiaoyanzi Tells the Truth

"Sister." Seeing that no one was speaking, Concubine Ling was the first to speak: "Could it be that you have already sent people to investigate Xiaoyanzi's background in the past few days?"

"Concubine Ling, what do you mean by that?"

After hearing what Concubine Ling said, the Queen immediately turned to look at Concubine Ling. Wasn't she intentionally implying that she was a bad person in front of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager?

But she was not angry about this.

Instead, a warm smile appeared on his face.

"Sister, please don't be angry. Just now, the Emperor saw her wake up and immediately went up to ask her what her name was. She didn't even have time to answer us, but as soon as you came in, you called her Xiaoyanzi. This is why I am extremely confused."

Concubine Ling saw that the Queen looked unmoved.

She bit her lip calmly.

He kept rubbing the handkerchief in his hand, wishing he could poke a hole in it.

"I see." The Empress shifted her gaze from Concubine Ling to the Emperor again. "The Empress Dowager and I were discussing this on the way to Yanxi Palace. I felt like she had stumbled into our lives like a swallow, so I blurted it out without a second thought the moment I entered."

At this moment, the Queen completely regarded Xiaoyanzi as her own child.

And Concubine Ling's intentions were too obvious.

She actually dug a hole for herself in front of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. It was obvious that she wanted to make herself jump into the hole she dug for herself, and then she could openly act as a good person in front of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager.

In my previous life, it was because I was inflexible and always thought that I was doing it for the good of the emperor, but I unknowingly made everyone go against me at every turn.

Even the emperor slowly began to hate himself.

In the end, this is what happened.

He even caused Rong Mama to suffer with him.

In this life, she wants to fight a beautiful comeback battle.

I want the emperor to completely change his opinion of me.

"No wonder the Empress called her Little Swallow as soon as she came in." The Emperor narrowed his eyes in amusement. "So that's what you mean. Now that you put it that way, I do think she does look like a swallow. She truly lives up to her name."

The old lady standing by saw that they had been talking for a long time but still couldn't get to the point.

She coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that your arm was also injured. How is your recovery now?"

"In reply to the Empress Dowager, my son's injury is nothing at all. It is just a minor skin injury." The emperor stood up and bowed to the Empress Dowager.

The old lady nodded and said "hmm".

"That's good. I've been feeling very anxious these past few days, but seeing the emperor's rosy complexion today makes me feel relieved."

"It's wrong for me to have caused the Empress Dowager to worry, but I have good news for you. You will surely be very happy to hear it."

"Oh? Really?" The old Buddha suddenly looked at Xiaoyanzi lying on the bed with a cold gaze, "Could the good news the emperor mentioned refer to this girl?"

The Emperor walked over to the Empress Dowager and handed over the folding fan and painting in his hand. "Empress Dowager, she is the biological daughter of Yuhe and me. She is your granddaughter..."

"Hey." Before the emperor could finish his words, she immediately raised her hand to interrupt him. "This matter still needs to be investigated thoroughly. How can you rashly conclude that she is your child based on these two things? How can you be so careless about royal blood? Besides, there are many more calligraphy and paintings that you have left out there!"

The emperor was speechless after being rebuked by the Empress Dowager.

There are indeed many of my own calligraphy and paintings that are lost in the world.

But he did have his own poems written on these two items.

Besides, this child looks like me.

The emperor firmly believed that she was his child.

"Mother, don't you think she looks very similar to your son?"

"There are so many people in this world who look alike." The old Buddha sighed and said seriously, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are confused."

The Empress and Concubine Ling saw that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor were arguing over this matter.

The two looked at each other.

However, Concubine Ling took the initiative and stepped forward to hold Xiaoyanzi's hand.

"Good boy, don't be afraid. Tell us what you know. Your father is right here."

"Concubine Ling, you can't jump to conclusions. How can you be careless with royal blood? Moreover, there is no proof that she is the emperor's child. How can you be so sure that the emperor is her father?"

The Empress Dowager looked at Concubine Ling sternly.

Concubine Ling got goosebumps all over her body when she saw the look in Empress Dowager's eyes.

The Queen agreed, "Yes, Xiaoyanzi, do you have anything to say? I know you just woke up, so take your time and talk. There's no rush."

Little Swallow blinked her big eyes and looked at everyone.

She would tell them the truth.

The real royal bloodline is actually Ziwei.

She was just the person who delivered the token of love for Ziwei.

"Actually, I am not the emperor's child."

Xiaoyanzi answered softly, enduring the pain in her chest.

"Then..." The emperor's expression instantly changed from surprise to disappointment. "Then how did you get this fan and painting on you? Child, tell me quickly."

"I am only here to deliver a token of gratitude on behalf of Ziwei. The true royal bloodline is actually Ziwei. She is the real princess, and she is in the slum now."

Xiaoyanzi became more and more excited as she spoke.

Although the palace is nice, how could she possibly replace Ziwei's identity? She would not rashly recognize someone else as her father, especially when that person is the current emperor.

What's more, if the identity impersonation is discovered, you will lose your head, and Yan Zi only has one head.

She has managed to save her life with great difficulty, and she doesn't want to report to the King of Hell at such a young age just for the sake of momentary pleasure.

Besides, she and Ziwei had become sisters in the slum, and they had sworn to heaven: to share the hardships and happiness together.

Little Swallow endured the pain in her chest, opened the quilt and got out of bed, "Ouch, it hurts so much, Swallow."

When the Queen saw Xiaoyanzi getting out of bed in excruciating pain, she quickly winked at Rong Mama behind her.

"Girl, please take care of yourself."

Rong Mama stepped forward, held Xiaoyanzi, and hung her arm around her neck.

"Xiaoyanzi, are you still able to hold on?" the Queen asked with concern. "Actually, it's okay for you to lie on the bed and talk to us."

"Empress, I'm fine." Xiaoyanzi shook her head and then looked at the emperor. "Your Majesty, when can you bring Ziwei into the palace? She has suffered so much grievance and difficulties along the way. She is so pitiful. And I really didn't lie. Ziwei really is your daughter."

Seeing this, the Queen immediately added, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I think what Xiaoyanzi said makes a lot of sense. We can't take it lightly. If Ziwei is really your daughter, just send someone to bring Ziwei in and ask her."

"That's right, Your Majesty. I command you to go to the slum immediately and bring the person in. Then we can perform a blood test to reveal the truth."

The Empress Dowager looked at the Emperor seriously.

"Good child, you are very brave. I admire your courage very much. I didn't expect that you would not be blinded by what you saw and dare to tell the truth. This is very rare." The emperor nodded seriously and said to Xiaoyanzi, "Tell me where the compound is. I will send someone to bring Ziwei to the palace immediately."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I think that since this is the case, why not leave her in the Yanxi Palace to recuperate? Once she has recovered, we can send her out of the palace and return to the compound, and bring Ziwei back to the palace along the way."

Concubine Ling tucked the handkerchief into her waist, then looked at the Empress Dowager and the Emperor and took the opportunity to speak.

She also wanted to get closer to the new princess.

As a result, after all the effort, a big mistake was made.

Moreover, he wanted to outwit the Queen at the beginning, but in the end he made the Queen win favor in front of everyone.

But it’s good that she took the initiative to keep Xiaoyanzi here.

By the time Ziwei enters the palace, and Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei are familiar with each other, it won't be too late for her and Ziwei to get closer.
