C948 Genesis 948

Liu Ruo Qing realized that when he asked about the Little Princess, her emotions were even more agitated than when she asked about the Empress Chen.

Of course, Liu Ruo Qing knew who the little princess he was asking about was. The princess of Empress Chen was the only princess of xieqing, even though she had suspected from start to finish that Tian Xin was not the little princess but the heir to the Jiang Country.

Even so, Liu Ruo Qing still answered honestly: "She is currently in Jindu, and will soon be married to Prince Lu."

The old man didn't know who Prince Lu was, but when he heard that the "Little Princess" he was referring to was still alive, he heaved a sigh of relief.

Since Crown Princess Jing was not a princess of xieqing, but she looked exactly the same as Crown Princess, could it be that she was that …

The old man looked at Liu Ruo Qing with an excited expression. "You … "You are …"

Liu Ruo Qing knew what he wanted to ask, but not only him, even she was uncontrollably excited. She took out the half of the jade pendant from her neck and handed it over to the old man, "Does uncle recognize this?"

When the old man saw this, his expression changed, and he extended his hand to grab the jade pendant from Liu Ruo Qing's hand. Even if it was just half a piece, he knew what was written on it.

"Jiang Guo Mansion, Jiang Guo Mansion …"

Tears welled up in the old man's eyes. The veins on the back of his hands were bulging. It was obvious that he was very emotional, and could not even hide his sadness. It was as if he had been brought back to the memories of his extermination.

No one in the room dared to disturb him. They were also affected by his sorrowful mood, and no one dared to make a sound.

After a moment, the old man suddenly knelt in front of Liu Ruo Qing, "I am unable to protect my master, young miss, please punish me."

After that, from Jiang Ling's memories, Liu Ruo Qing gradually came to understand the matter of the Jiang Family clan being exterminated.

"As early as a few days before the annihilation of the clan, the Imperial Duke seemed to have found out something. He ordered his subordinates and brothers to send out the twin young miss, who had only been born a few days ago, out of the Jiang Guo Mansion."

Miss Twin …

This allowed Liu Ruo Qing to confirm her previous guess even more firmly.

Sure enough, he heard Jiang Ling continue to speak, "I am in charge of bringing the second young miss to the capital and hand her over to the Empress Chen. Other than the Empress Chen and her trusted aides, even Old General Chen, Chen Chong, does not know about this matter."

No wonder...

Liu Ruo Qing nodded her head in understanding. No wonder Old General Chen did not know about what happened back then when Tian Xin went to Jade Village Pass to ask Old General Chen.

"But do you know that Empress Chen is not afraid of Liu Cheng He taking such a risk?"

She didn't believe that Liu Cheng He would be willing to raise someone that had nothing to do with him.

Jiang Ling shook his head and replied, "Liu Cheng He naturally doesn't know, he has never been fond of Empress Chen, but because Old General Chen has such a strong army in her hands, he doesn't dare treat the Empress too harshly. In addition, the Empress has many trusted aides by her side, so even though it was somewhat difficult for us to send the Second Miss into the palace, with the help of the Empress's people, it would not be too risky."

Even though Jiang Ling said that, Liu Ruo Qing knew that it would definitely not be as easy as he said it would be. After all, it was to bring a child into the Forbidden Palace;

Moreover, with an extra child in the palace, how could it not attract the attention of others?

However, she had seen Jiang Ling's martial arts before, so she didn't ask too much. Instead, she was curious about another question.

"Empress Chen has gained another child, does Liu Cheng He not suspect anything?"

Jiang Ling shook his head. "On the day of the empress's labor, I sent Second Young Miss to the palace. I had originally planned to wait for the empress to give birth to her child, so we could call her 'twin.' Who would've thought that when the empress's child was born, it would have already died."

Liu Ruo Qing's expression changed. Within the Imperial Palace, the matter of a child's death was only known to the empress when she gave birth to her child.

Other than Liu Cheng He, who else could the imperial physician hide the truth that their child was already stillborn?

Although Liu Ruo Qing had never experienced the filthy matters of the palace, she could imagine them. Sure enough, she heard Jiang Ling continue to speak, "Based on the situation of the child at that time, the Empress was drugged when she was still pregnant."

Hearing this, Liu Ruo Qing laughed coldly, "Besides Liu Cheng He, no one else can do such a thing."

If it wasn't for Liu Cheng He's order, how could the dignified imperial palace's imperial concubine not report this poison when she was pregnant with her son?

From the beginning, Liu Cheng He had never thought of letting the child of the Empress Chen be born alive, which was why she kept working hard for Liu Tian Xin in the palace.

River City nodded and didn't say anything more on this matter. There were too many dirty things in the palace, so how much would outsiders know?

Liu Ruo Qing then thought through her general idea.

With the baby in Empress Chen's womb gone, Empress Chen had raised Liu Tian Xin under her knees and proclaimed that the empress had given birth to the little princess.

Liu Cheng He naturally didn't think that the empress would have the ability to carry a child back from the outside. She only thought that the imperial physician had hidden the truth from her and cured the poison in the empress's body so that the child would be born alive.

She remembered that Liu Tian Xin had told her before that she heard the servants in the Queen's Palace mention that not long after she was born, Liu Cheng He had executed the principal of the Taiyuan Hospital Courtyard at that time.

Liu Cheng He did not like the Empress Chen and her daughter, but she was wary of Old General Chen, so she allowed them to live, and let them live by themselves in the palace. However, Liu Cheng He's disregard allowed Liu Tian Xin to grow up safely in the palace.

At that time, even if Liu Cheng He had paid more attention to the Empress Chen, he might have been able to notice her little movements.

Liu Ruo Qing's thoughts were in a mess at the moment, but Liu Cheng He continued with her own words, "The other group of people are to escort the wet nurse and big miss to Easternum. The Crown Prince's wife split the Holy Spirit Pendant on her body into two halves and placed them on the eldest young miss and second young miss. He originally thought that one day he would be able to reunite with them, but he didn't expect … "

When he spoke of this, even a hard-blooded man like Jiang Ling's eyes reddened at this moment.

After a moment of silence, he adjusted his mood and continued, "I came back from the capital and met up with them through the marks left by my brothers. I found out that they were all dead, and the missus and eldest miss were also gone. Afterwards, I searched along the way and found their corpses but didn't find any trace of eldest miss."

After saying that, he looked at Liu Ruo Qing with reddened eyes. There were thousands of words in his eyes, but he was unable to say a single word.

What happened afterwards, Liu Ruo Qing roughly understood.
