A wicked mother swaps her son and sucks his blood? The true legitimate daughter is reborn and goes o

As Song Qingyan had predicted, Xie Yuqi was furious.

Her hands were dripping blood, and Xie Yuqi's eyes seemed to be dripping blood as well.

Song Qingyan thought that Prince Rui had truly abandoned her at the Cui residence, but she didn't expect that he would send someone to fetch her again.

She rekindled her hope and went to the Duke's mansion, wanting him to see her injured hand.

He saw it, and was furious and heartbroken.

He really cares about her hands!

Song Qingyan was very satisfied. She endured the pain, knelt on the ground, and cried softly, "Your Highness, Qingyan knows she was wrong. Qingyan failed to protect her hands, but Qingyan is too weak to resist."

"I begged for mercy, but she still wouldn't let me go and even injured my hand with a hairpin."

Song Qingyan did not name names, but Xie Yuqi had already identified the person.

"Liang Shumin!" Xie Yuqi gritted his teeth.

"Your Highness, Qingyan is in so much pain! My hand was almost healed and I could hold a paintbrush again, but now... will my hand never heal?"

Xie Yuqi didn't care whether she was in pain or not, but he was concerned about how badly her hand was injured.

Xie Yuqi immediately ordered his guards to summon the imperial physician.

The imperial physician examined the wound and shook his head helplessly. "The young lady's wound was about to heal, but old wounds have been aggravated by new ones, and the injuries are so severe that a full recovery seems unlikely!"

Song Qingyan was overjoyed.

What she wanted was to be unable to recover.

Without a full recovery, one cannot paint.

Everything was as she had planned.

Seeing Xie Yuqi's increasingly gloomy expression, Song Qingyan dared not reveal the slightest hint of her triumph.

Her body swayed slightly, as if she had been greatly shocked. "Is it really impossible to heal? No, it can't be. I am Mingyue Xian. I promised my grandfather that once my hand is healed, I would paint a few more paintings for him. But, but..."

Song Qingyan's eyes reddened, and she kept sobbing.

Xie Yuqi was extremely annoyed.

If Mingyue Xian's hands cannot paint, she is a useless person.

Is everything he planned going to fail?

Xie Yuqi was unwilling to accept this.

He grabbed the imperial physician's hand and commanded, "Think of another way, no matter how much money it costs, no matter how precious the medicine, as long as her hand can hold a brush and paint!"

"Your Highness, I...I truly have no way to help." The imperial physician knelt on the ground in fear.

"Powerless? How can you be powerless?" Xie Yuqi gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot.

Just then, Song Qingyan suddenly said, "If it weren't for Miss Liang..."

She stopped abruptly at that point.

Xie Yuqi narrowed his eyes, a murderous glint in them, and then flung his sleeves and left the room.

As Song Qingyan watched his figure disappear from sight, a fleeting look of triumph flashed in her eyes.

Her goal was achieved.

If the Liang family and that madwoman are made to take the blame, Prince Rui will be furious and will go to teach that madwoman a lesson.

This is the price Liang Shumin paid for making her lose face!

At this moment, the redness and swelling on her face had not subsided, and the pain in her hands was still excruciating. Song Qingyan asked the imperial physician to treat her hand injury and then apply a face mask to reduce the swelling.

After everything was done, Prince Rui still hadn't returned.

As darkness fell, Prince Rui still had not returned, and Song Qingyan prepared to return to the Marquis's residence.

Just as they were about to leave, they saw Duke Shen walking towards them menacingly.

Song Qingyan's heart trembled, and she immediately knelt down to pay her respects.

Shen Lin's face was gloomy. He had just received news that Qi'er had gone to the Liang family to demand an explanation and punished Liang Shumin, causing a tense atmosphere.

He was then summoned to the palace by the emperor.

Upon hearing that the Emperor had received a memorial from a censor criticizing Qi'er, he was furious.

All of this stems from the widely circulated rumor that "Song Qingyan and Prince Rui have an affair."

Qi'er took a liking to Mingyue Xian.

He also agreed with his plan to use Mingyue Xian to gather the aristocratic students. This was a shortcut, and if successful, it would gain the support of the aristocracy, giving Qi'er the power to contend with the Prince of Huai.

But those rumors were really detrimental to Qi'er's reputation.

We need to find a way to beautify the relationship between the two.

Shen Lin glanced at Song Qingyan kneeling on the ground and said coldly, "Go back to the Marquis's residence first, and don't go out for the next few days."

Song Qingyan was puzzled.

She dared not disobey the Duke of Shen's orders.

"Qingyan will remember."

……

Emperor Yuan summoned Prince Rui to the palace, and it is said that he made Prince Rui kneel in Consort Shen's palace all night.

The news was brought to Song Qingning by Wan Liang early the next morning.

[Prince Rui and Song Qingyan had a secret affair]

The news spread even more widely in the capital overnight.

When Miss Song married into the Jiang family, the entire capital city knew about her grand wedding procession, which stretched for miles.

The common people were unaware of the divorce, and they said that Prince Rui was having an affair with a married woman, and that Song Qingyan had cheated on her newlywed husband.

Just as various rumors were circulating, news broke that Miss Song and the Jiang family were divorcing.

Song Qingning understood.

The Shen family has taken action to salvage Prince Rui's reputation.

It is never honorable for a prince to seduce a married woman.

After the news of the divorce broke, the public's opinion softened somewhat.

After that, the rumor that Prince Rui and Miss Song fell in love after their divorce became public.

But the noble ladies who attended the birthday banquet at the Yongning Marquis's residence that day still knew the truth.

Song Qingyan said that she and Jiang Sheng did not have a marital relationship.

The one who introduced her to matters of the heart was undoubtedly Prince Rui.

There was no divorce back then.

The ladies' private conversations somehow reached the public, and the rumors that had subsided started to circulate again.

It even reached the palace.

As soon as Emperor Yuan entered Consort Hui's palace, he heard her scolding the palace maids.

"Who do you think you are to speak ill of Prince Rui? Prince Rui is the son of the Imperial Concubine; he would never do such a thing!"

"Someone must have framed Prince Rui. If I hear you gossiping again, you'll all be dead."

Consort Hui looked up and saw Emperor Yuan standing at the door.

Immediately dismiss the palace maids and rise to greet Emperor Yuan.

With only the two of them remaining in the bedchamber, Emperor Yuan lowered his guard.

"Consort Hui, you have always doted on the second prince, but this matter has really damaged the royal family's reputation. Which woman could he not have? Yet he has to choose a married woman. Now those officials have seized on this, and a dignified prince has become the subject of gossip. This will add another obstacle to his succession to the throne."

Consort Hui helped Emperor Yuan sit down and pleaded for Xie Yuqi, "His Highness Prince Rui may truly be in love with that woman. I've heard she's Mingyue Xian; no wonder Prince Rui likes her."

"You like it?" Emperor Yuan asked dismissively.

He knew that Xie Yuqi valued Mingyue Xian's influence on aristocratic students.

He supported him.

It shouldn't have started with messing around!

"If it could become a celebrated story, Mingyue Xian could have been an asset to the second son, but alas..."

Emperor Yuan sighed.

"If the Imperial Concubine's spirit in heaven sees the Second Prince's reputation so damaged, she will blame me. Consort Hui, what do you suggest I do to put the Imperial Concubine's spirit at ease?"

Consort Hui lowered her eyes.

They understood that the Emperor already had a plan.

I just wanted to say it through someone else's words.

Consort Hui, trying to fathom the Emperor's thoughts, tentatively suggested, "How about bestowing a marriage upon him?"

Her casual remark hit the nail on the head.

Emperor Yuan's eyes lit up. "A marriage decree? My beloved consort, what a brilliant idea! I will grant your suggestion and bestow a marriage upon Prince Rui and Mingyue Xian!"

Early the next morning.

The imperial decree bestowing the marriage upon the Marquis of Yongning's residence arrived.

It happened earlier than Song Qingning had expected.
