"Wanwan, Xibao, it's time to tell you the truth."

After returning to the palace, the family of five came to the study, and the queen said to Lin Xi and Wang Concubine.

Wang Hu nervously held Lin Xi's hand. At this moment, her mind was in a mess and she didn't realize there was anything wrong with the Queen's words.

Lin Xi showed an expression of surprise and uncertainty just right, as if she had a guess, but she couldn't believe it.

The queen opened the cabinet under the desk, took out a small box, took out the contents one by one, and placed them on the table.

Two identical swaddles.

Although they are old items from more than ten years ago, the two small clothes are still as good as new because they are well preserved.

If you get closer and smell it, you can even smell the aroma of milk.

Several letters sealed in small bamboo tubes.

a photo album.

There are many photos of Lin Xi from childhood to adulthood in the photo album.

The queen opened the photo album and fixed her eyes on a photo of Xibao when he was six years old.

"Come and see."

Wang Concubine took Lin Xi's hand and walked over.

Wang Shou also came over.

Queen: "This photo was sent to Wanwan when Xibao was six years old. At that time, Shou'er recognized it at a glance and said that Xibao looked very similar to me and your father."

Wang Concubine had no impression of this incident at all.

Wang Shou did remember that he remembered things early and had a photographic memory. Although he was only three years old at the time, he can still recall the scenes at that time.

Wang Concubine looked at the photo and had to admit that Xibao looked very similar to her parents when she was a child.

More like their child than her daughter.

The emperor took over the conversation: "It's okay that they look alike. The key point is that something happened on the day your mother gave birth.

"An assassin suddenly appeared in the delivery room and wanted to kill your mother. The delivery room fell into chaos. After I subdued the assassin, Mrs. Wen walked out from behind the screen with her baby in her arms.

"A few years later, I invited Divine Doctor Ling to come to the palace to nurse your mother back to health. She accidentally discovered a tunnel and searched along that tunnel. Only then did I realize that there was actually a tunnel hidden under the palace. Intricate underground palace.

"The entrance and exit of one of the tunnels is in your mother's bedroom. To be precise, it's behind the screen."

Wang Shou: "The assassin sneaked in through this tunnel, right? But this is not enough to prove that Sister Wanwan is not my sister."

Although Sister Wanwan often fights with him, snatches his things, threatens him, orders him around... she does countless evil deeds, and she doesn't have the demeanor of an eldest sister at all.

However, they have been siblings for so many years, and he would not be used to it if she was no longer his sister.

Queen: "It's really not enough to explain, so your father and I sent people to investigate secretly. The secret guards secretly obtained the swaddling clothes that Xibao wore when he was living in the Lin family."

Speaking of this, the queen looked at Lin Xi rather embarrassedly.

Lin Xi: "I just said why this piece of clothing disappeared. I thought it was blown away by the wind, but it turned out that it was taken away by the secret guard."

Queen: "The swaddle of Xibao is exactly the same as Wanwan's, and it was made by the same person, so we found the embroiderer who worked in the Acupuncture Department. She said that there was one missing swaddling in the original swaddle. She I did not report it because I was afraid of being punished.

"Later, the secret guard discovered that she was communicating with people in private. The secret guard intercepted her letters and handed them to us."

The queen opened a small piece of paper, which was blank.

"The letter written by Huang Jiao has been processed and must be soaked with water before it can be seen." As she said that, the queen dipped her fingers into some clean water from the pen wash and sprinkled it on the note, and a line of words was revealed on it -

"I suspect that the fake princess story may have been exposed."

Seeing this sentence, Wang Concubine felt no luck anymore.

She opened her mouth and wanted to call "Mom and Dad", but she choked again.

Because she didn't know if she, a fake princess, was qualified to call them anymore.

Emperor: "The secret guards sent by the other side to look for Wen Po came to report that Wen Po died of illness shortly after returning home after delivering your mother's baby."

Wang Shou: "How could he die of illness so coincidentally? Maybe he was killed and silenced by someone behind the scenes?"

The emperor patted his son on the shoulder with appreciation, "Yes, your mother and I were also suspicious, so we asked the secret guards to continue the investigation. Sure enough, we found that Po Wen was poisoned, but she was the one who poisoned her. s husband."

Wang Shou: "What? Her husband? Why did her husband poison her?"

Emperor: "Po Wen's husband cheated on her and wanted her wife to give him a son. The wife threatened him to divorce Wen Po because of her pregnancy. But Po Wen's husband couldn't bear to part with his wife's dowry and the money given to her by the palace. She was given a reward, so she refused to do anything and poisoned her to death, but told the outside world that she died of a serious illness."

Lin Xi: "It sounds like there is no flaw, but Po Wen died so coincidentally, there is no guarantee that there was no handwriting from someone behind the scenes."

Emperor: "Yes, the secret guards investigated the outer room again and found that the outer room was under the instruction of others and deliberately instigated Wen Po's husband to divorce his wife. She also gave Wen Po's husband the poison."

How can ordinary people have access to chronic poisons that cannot be diagnosed by doctors and whose symptoms are very similar to the symptoms?
At this point, the matter has almost come to light.

Wang Concubine spoke with a thick nasal voice: "So, Xibao is the real princess. She was maliciously replaced by the people behind the scenes, and I have been her replacement for so many years...

"Since you have found out earlier, why didn't you tell us earlier?"

The emperor felt very distressed when he saw her crying like this.

However, in front of Xibao, he could not express his concern confidently.

Lin Xi took out a handkerchief to wipe Wang Hu's tears, "I haven't cried yet, why are you crying? Chocolate, do you want to eat it?"

She spread her hands, and in her palm was a small ingot-shaped chocolate wrapped in gold foil.

Wang Yan, a foodie, was diverted in a second and sobbed: "Qiao, chocolate, what is it? Is it delicious?"

"Candy." Lin Xi peeled off the candy wrapper and stuffed the chocolate into her mouth.

Wang Concubine licked it tentatively. There was a strange smell, a bit bitter, but very fragrant and silky.

She chewed again and her eyes lit up, "It's delicious!"

The world of foodies is so simple, emotions come and go quickly.

As long as there is delicious food, it doesn't seem to be a big deal even though I thought the sky was about to fall.

The emperor looked at Lin Xi eagerly and wanted to try the chocolate, but he was too embarrassed to ask for it, so he coughed twice, hoping that Lin Xi would understand what he meant.

Lin Xi was so funny that she took out a few more pills and gave one to each of the empress and Wang Shou.

After tasting the delicious chocolate, the queen answered Wang Concubine's question.

"The matter has indeed been cleared up, but there is no real evidence that can prove that you and Xibao were switched. These evidences are only indirect, or even just our guesses.

"The person behind the scenes is so insidious and cunning. Perhaps these are just suspicions he deliberately set up to arouse our suspicions.

"If we are really fooled by him, wouldn't it break Wanwan's heart?" (End of Chapter)
