Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The entire place fell silent after Qian Qing finished speaking.

Luo Xiuran was stunned while Feng Yili’s expression was extremely dark.

‘How Junjin be their child?’

“You are…”

The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes and sized Qian Qing up.

Qian Qing walked forward and bowed in a neither servile nor arrogant manner.

Then, she said, “Empress Dowager, my name is Qian Qing. I’m the County Princess’ maidservant. I know that my status is low. To prevent others from speaking ill of the heir and our child, I begged the heir to hide my existence from the world.’

The little bun sighed inwardly. ‘Things are getting more and more complicated. Not only did I acknowledge my uncle as my father, but now I have to acknowledge Aunt Qing as my mother…’

Luo Xiuran could not hold back any longer. He said, “Impossible!”

The Empress Dowager’s expression darkened when she saw Feng Yili and Luo Xiuran.

“Calm down,” Feng Yili said to Luo Xiuran sternly. Then, he bowed to the Empress Dowager.

Luo Xiuran reluctantly followed suit.

“What day is it today? Even the Prince Regent came to visit me,” the Empress Dowager said as she looked at Feng Yili with a probing gaze.

“I met that child a few times, and I quite like him. I heard he came to visit the Empress Dowager so I came to have a look,” Feng Yili replied nonchalantly.

“Oh, it seems like the Prince Regent has fate with this child,” the Empress Dowager said, glancing at the little bun before she glanced at Feng Yili.

At this moment, the little bun tugged the Empress Dowager’s sleeve and said softly, “Empress Dowager, when I first came to the capital, I had a small conflict with the Twelfth Prince. At that time, it was the Prince Regent who helped me. In fact, I should apologize. I shouldn’t have had a conflict with the Twelfth Prince.’

The Empress Dowager’s eyes flashed when she heard this. She had also heard about this matter. She did not expect the little bun to speak so frankly. Was he not worried that she would punish him? After all, she was the Twelfth Prince’s grandmother. However, when she looked at the little bun’s eyes, her heart softened for once. She said lightly, “That matter is the Twelfth Prince’s fault. You don’t have to apologize. It’s only right that the Prince Regent punished him.”

After saying that, the Empress Dowager asked Luo Xiuran, “Young Marquis Luo, what do your earlier words mean? Why did you say it’s impossible for this maidservant to be this child’s biological mother?”

Shen Hezhi looked at Luo Xiuran with a sharp gaze and said coldly, “I’m also curious about Young Marquis Luo’s words. Qing has been with me for many years; she’s a family member. If she agrees to it, I’ll immediately give her the title and status that she deserves.”

Luo Xiuran was angry and anxious when he heard Shen Hezhi’s words.

Qian Qing knew that Shen Hezhi must be aware of her entanglements with Luo Xiuran and was deliberately avenging her. A hint of gratitude could be seen in her eyes when she looked at Shen Hezhi. After a moment, she said to Luo Xiuran coldly, “Young Marquis Luo, please explain yourself.”

Luo Xiuran wanted to say something, but when he saw Qian Qing’s cold expression, his heart ached. He knew that his answer was very important to Xinan and the King of Xinan’s Residence. Whether he believed it or not, he knew the child could only belong to Qian Qing and Shen Hezhi.

Luo Xiuran clenched his hands tightly before he gritted his teeth and said, “Empress Dowager, I misspoke earlier. I was just shocked. There’s no other meaning. ”

“Is that so?” The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes and looked at Luo Xiuran sharply.

“Yes,” Luo Xiuran said through gritted teeth with great difficulty.

At this moment, Shen Hezhi began to cough violently. He looked even more frail at this moment. His thin body looked as though it was going to break down at any moment.

The Empress Dowager frowned and ordered, “The heir is not feeling well. Hurry up and summon the imperial doctors here.”

However, Shen Hezhi shook his head. He gasped for breath before he said, “Thank you for your concern, Empress Dowager, but there’s no need to go through so much trouble. I know my body best. It’s useless to see the doctors.

All I need to do is rest.”

“Men, hurry up and escort the heir back to rest,” the Empress Dowager said, finally willing to let Shen Hezhi go. In any case, she had already confirmed that Shen Hezhi could not live for much longer. Moreover, the King of Xinan’s grandson was still very young. In conclusion, the King of Xinan’s Residence would not be a threat for much longer so there was no need to be too worried.

Just as Shen Hezhi was about to refuse, Feng Yili said, “It just so happens that I’m about to leave as well. I’ll escort the heir of the King of Xinan’s Residence back. ”

The Empress Dowager stared at Feng Yili for a moment before she said,

“Alright. With the Prince Regent, I can rest assured.”

“Empress Dowager, we’ll take our leave first,” the little bun said, politely bidding farewell to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager could not help but reach out to pat the little bun’s head as she said gently, “Alright. If there’s a chance in the future, you can enter the palace to visit me at any time.”

The few maidservants standing at the back were shocked when they heard how gentle the Empress Dowager sounded.

‘When did the Empress Dowager become so amiable to a child? Even when the

Twelfth Prince comes to pay respect, she’s never been so kind… The King of

Xinan’s grandson is really skilled at making people happy…’

The little bun continued pretending to be obedient. He smiled, revealing a few baby teeth as he said, “Okay. Junjin will remember this. I’ll take my leave first.” After that, the little bun skipped to Shen Hezhi’s side.

After the group left Fushou Palace, Luo Xiuran hurried to Qian Qing’s side and grabbed her arm. He asked, “Jian Qing, Junjin isn’t your child, right?”

“Young Marquis Luo, please let go of me. Also, my name is Qian Qing, not Jian Qing,” Qian Qing said icily.

“Okay, okay, I’ll call you Qian Qing. About Junjin…

At this time, Shen Hezhi walked over, grabbed Luo Xiuran’s wrist, and said sharply, “Qian Qing and I are the parents of Junjin. Young Marquis Luo, do you have any other questions?”

Although Shen Hezhi looked weak, Luo Xiuran could clearly feel a surge of powerful internal energy when the former grabbed his wrist. His hand went numb for a moment, and he subconsciously let go.

Shen Hezhi immediately pulled Qian Qing behind him; his tall figure blocking her. A heavy pressure descended as he said frostily, “Young Marquis Luo, before you touch people from the King of Xinan’s Residence, please ask for my permission first.”

Luo Xiuran was just about to retort when the little bun suddenly rushed between them. He said sternly, “Stop arguing.”

“Come here.”

At this moment, Feng Yili walked over, carried the little bun in his arms, and entered the carriage..
