After the concubine ran away, the cold prince lost control

Princess Xiang followed her maid into Qingsong Garden, where Qin Xiaoning was standing in front of the window.

The woman who claimed to be her half sister did look very much like her, but just by looking at her demeanor and temperament, one could tell that she had been raised in a honey pot since childhood and had never suffered any hardship.

They are very similar, but also not alike.

The more she can't get, the more she hopes for it. Once upon a time, she longed for family affection, with parents who loved her and brothers and sisters who could rely on each other. But now, the person who claimed to be her mother and her sister came to her, which only made her feel helpless and panicked.

"I've met the princess."

It was not until Princess Xiang entered the room and bowed to her that Qin Xiaoning came back to her senses. She politely invited Princess Xiang to sit down and ordered the maid to bring her tea and fruits, but she didn't know what to say to her.

Princess Xiang looked around the hall with carved corridors and painted buildings and praised, "This room is really nice. Just looking at the layout and furnishings, you can tell that the prince loves the princess very much."

Seeing Qin Xiaoning smiling but not saying anything, Princess Xiang asked again, "I heard that the princess has been standing in the mansion since she was young and has always been by the prince's side."

Qin Xiaoning nodded and answered truthfully: "I lost my mother when I was seven years old. It was the Duke's Mansion that took me in. To be more precise, it was the prince who took me back home when I was helpless." She looked around the house and smiled faintly: "This was the prince's house in the past. I grew up here."

Princess Xiang looked at Qin Xiaoning. She didn't show any emotion when she said these words, as if she was telling someone a very ordinary little thing.

But Princess Xiang couldn’t help but feel upset.

She frowned, pondered for a long time, and asked hesitantly, "Do you hate your mother?"

She seemed to be afraid that Qin Xiaoning would be angry and refuse to accept her next proposal. After asking this question, without waiting for Qin Xiaoning to answer, Princess Xiang said, "Even if you feel resentful, it is human nature. You have suffered so much, how can you not feel resentful?"

Qin Xiaoning smiled faintly when she heard this: "It can't be said that I hate you. I may have some complaints in the past, but at least now, I don't care about them too much."

Princess Xiang's almond-shaped eyes flickered, and when she heard these words, her beautiful eyes became moist.

"In fact, mother has been trying to find you all these years." Her voice was choked with sobs and a little flattering.

She had firmly sat on the throne of princess and everything was going well, but then she thought of the child she had abandoned.

Qin Xiaoning is now a mother, but she cannot understand the behavior of Prince Yu's wife any more.

She despised her.

But thinking this in her heart, Qin Xiaoning just laughed it off after hearing what Princess Xiang said.

Princess Xiang looked at Qin Xiaoning and called softly, "Eldest sister——"

She was worried that the other party would be unhappy, so after calling him this, she asked weakly, "You don't mind me calling you that, do you?"

Qin Xiaoning still smiled good-temperedly: "I don't mind, but I may not be the person you are looking for."

"After all, I have a biological mother, and I still remember her."

"Eldest sister, are you talking about that Qin girl?" Hearing what Qin Xiaoning said, Princess Xiang hurriedly said, "Mother ordered someone to draw a portrait of Qin. See if it's this person. If it is this person, then you are undoubtedly the daughter that mother has been looking for."

As she spoke, she took out a piece of paper from her sleeve pocket and handed it to Qin Xiaoning. Qin Xiaoning reached out to take it. She hesitated for a moment, but finally opened the paper with the portrait on it.

She only took one look and said, "She is not."

When Princess Xiang heard this, she hurriedly said, "Take a closer look. It is said that Miss Qin was only 10 years old when she left her mother. She is a little different from the person in your portrait." Qin Xiaoning folded the paper completely. She still had a warm smile on her face, "My mother, I will not make a mistake."

She handed the paper with the portrait printed on it to Princess Xiang: "This person is really not her."

Princess Xiang came with high hopes but left disappointed. When she returned to Prince Xian's mansion, she went straight to find her mother, Princess Consort Yu.

Halfway through her journey, she happened to meet Princess Huayang.

Huayang is not always crazy. When she is in a good mood, she is no different from a normal person.

"Cousin Xiang, have you asked the Regent Princess? Is she the daughter you and your aunt are looking for?"

Huayang has always been thinking about Lu Ji, and Princess Xiang knows it very well. She is blocking him here just to find out some information.

She didn't dare to provoke her cousin who would get sick if she said something against her will, so she smiled and said perfunctorily: "It must be a misunderstanding. The regent princess is not my lost elder sister."

When Huayang heard this, he showed contempt on his face: "I told you, she is a woman of humble origin, how could she be born into a rich family?"

She talked for a while, and seemed to regret it again, so she pulled Princess Xiang and said, "Cousin, you haven't found out clearly, right? She should be my aunt's daughter. She is. Go tell my aunt to bring her back to Qi State quickly. Don't let her pester Lu Ji. As long as she leaves, I will have a chance to marry Lu Ji."

This is really crazy.

Seeing this, Huayang's wet nurse Zhang came over and coaxed Huayang, saying, "My dear princess, the young master of the Lu family wants to marry you. Let's go back and prepare."

Zhang finally pulled Huayang back to the bedroom. When she reached the door, she saw the snow water flowing down from the eaves and started screaming like crazy again. Zhang and several maids tried to coax her and calm her down. Later, they gave her a bowl of soothing soup, which calmed Huayang down.

After all this, Zhang was exhausted. She was helped back to her room by her maid. She was sitting alone in the dark, feeling sad, when she heard the door creak open from the outside. Zhang couldn't help but growl, "Who is it?"

"It's me, your sister-in-law."

As he spoke, the visitor picked up the tinder on the table and lit the candle. Then he glanced at Zhang, who was looking listless, and asked, "Is Huayang sick again?"

Zhang sighed and complained, "I don't know how many doctors have seen this patient, but this crazy disease just won't get better."

As she spoke, she raised her eyes and rolled her eyes at the woman opposite her, and asked unhappily, "Why are you looking for me at this time? Why are you asking me for money again?"

Zhang's sister-in-law's surname was Zhao. She had a thin body, a long and thin face with many pale wrinkles.

Seeing Zhang's displeasure, Zhao said hurriedly, "From what you said, it seems as if your brother and I only care about money."

Zhang snorted coldly and turned away. Zhao sat down beside her and said flatteringly, "I know you are worried about Huayang's illness. I have a way to help her cure it."

Zhang turned around and said, "Even the imperial doctors in the palace are helpless. What can you do?"

Seeing that there was a way out, Zhao deliberately kept the secret: "The imperial physician can only treat external diseases. Huayang's illness is a heart disease. This heart disease naturally needs to be treated with heart medicine."

"What do you have to say? Tell me quickly." Zhang said impatiently, "If you can cure Huayang, I will give you as much silver as you want."

When Zhao heard this, her gray-yellow eyes immediately shone brightly: "This heart medicine is from the Lu family's eldest son, the current regent." (End of this chapter)
