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

The woman in black keenly noticed the subtle difference in Xie Xuanjin's tone.

She sized up Song Qingning, her gaze following her.

The woman, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, was clearly a martial arts expert. When did the prince take in such a person?

The prince treated her differently!

The woman in black narrowed her eyes.

Song Qingning dared not disobey her superior's orders. She stepped forward, but when the Prince of Huai asked her to sit down, she hesitated.

She and the woman in black were colleagues.

It's probably not good for one to be standing and the other to be sitting.

Song Qingning glanced at the chair next to Prince Huai.

"Is there something thorny in my chair today? You can't sit on it?" Xie Xuanjin frowned slightly.

Song Qingning: "..."

OK OK.

When offered a seat by her superior, she refused, which was seen as disrespectful.

"Thank you for the seat, Your Highness." Song Qingning bowed.

She was always so proper and polite, which displeased Xie Xuanjin.

Xie Xuanjin stared at Song Qingning for a long while before looking away. "Her name is Wan Zi, and she is the head of my secret service."

Wan Zi? They share the same surname, Wan Liang?

Song Qingning nodded to Wan Zi as a greeting, but Wan Zi did not respond.

That's very unfriendly!

Song Qingning secretly raised her eyebrows.

Wan Zi even glanced at her disdainfully and said to Prince Huai, "Your Highness, if you have something to say, please speak first. The matter I have to report will be discussed later..."

"She is my future queen consort, and she will listen to whatever I say," Xie Xuanjin interrupted Wan Zi.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness?"

Not only Wan Zi, but even Song Qingning was astonished.

The princess's promise was known only to the two of them.

He introduced her to a third party in such a formal way.

Wan Zi's expression betrayed her shock.

After the initial shock, he completely abandoned his previous hostility towards Song Qingning.

"Your Highness! Your Highness greets Your Highness! Your subordinate Wan Zi greets Your Highness! My brother Wan Liang and I are both Your Highness's confidants and your most capable subordinates!"

When Wan Zi said the word "subordinate," her tone was firm and she was very proud.

"Your Highness, I am the most outstanding spy in Dajing. In the future, if you have any information you need to investigate, just give me your orders, and I will ensure that Your Highness receives the most accurate information as quickly as possible." Wan Zi patted her chest.

The excessive enthusiasm left Song Qingning momentarily at a loss for how to respond.

All I could do was smile and nod.

She was even more puzzled as to why Wan Zi's attitude towards her changed so quickly.

Wan Zi had to report something important, and Xie Xuanjin asked her to stay. She stayed, but dared not actually inquire.

Song Qingning lowered her eyes, focusing on her nose and mind, trying her best to let her mind wander and not let the important matter reported by Wan Zibing enter her mind.

It wasn't until the words "Shen Ao" and "Prince of Nanlin" entered my ears that I heard them.

Song Qingning was invigorated.

Xie Xuanjin noticed it.

Song Qingning frowned, trying hard to recall what she had just heard, but apart from the words "Shen Ao" and "Crown Prince of Nanlin", the rest was a blank.

I regret not listening carefully earlier.

Just then, Xie Xuanjin's voice rang out: "Say it again."

Wan Zi: "..."

She's almost finished reporting!

The prince had been looking at the princess, and sure enough, he was distracted and didn't hear a thing!

As an excellent subordinate, she could not object to her master's orders, even if he asked her to repeat them ten times.

This is the self-cultivation of a subordinate.

Let's start with Wan Zi:

"When I infiltrated the capital of Nanlin Kingdom, I saw a familiar face. It was Shen Ao. He was disguised, but I still recognized him."

"He manages the Shen family's clandestine businesses, but our Great Jing and Nanlin have been at war for years and have no trade. His appearance in Nanlin must be for something else."

"So his subordinates followed him and discovered that he had met with someone."

"It is indeed the Crown Prince of Nanlin, Xiao Ling."

"In the Battle of Youcheng, Xiao Ling personally led the Nanlin army and was defeated by our army. After returning to the capital, he was in a bad situation. When his subordinates left the Nanlin capital, they heard that Xiao Ling had been assassinated and almost died. After being rescued, he stayed at home to recuperate."

Wan Zi explained it in great detail.

Song Qingning listened attentively, gleaning a wealth of information from Wan Zi's words.

In her past life, she had met Xiao Ling once in the capital.

The time was right after the sacrificial ceremony to Heaven.

At that time, her legs were already useless, and she married Jiang Sheng.

It rained heavily the night of the sacrificial ceremony, and Jiang Tong insisted that she go out to Jinshenglou to buy some snacks, so she had no choice but to go.

On the way, she was kidnapped by Xiao Ling's men.

She met Xiao Ling in an inn room.

The two were once enemies on the battlefield. In the Battle of Youcheng, Song Qingning slashed Xiao Ling with his sword, a strike that crossed his entire back and nearly cut him off his horse.

During the subsequent peace talks, Xiao Ling declared that he would one day repay her with a sword.

That night, Song Qingning thought she was going to die.

But Xiao Ling didn't kill her, nor did he return the sword strike.

His gaze toward her was full of mockery.

Even after a lifetime, Song Qingning still remembered what he said back then.

He said, "Song Qingning, I came specifically to find you, but unfortunately you have disappointed me greatly!"

"I thought you would be my lifelong rival, but now, you're no longer worthy."

"You actually got married. Well, in your Great Jing, marriage is a woman's final destination. How much better it would have been if you were a man!"

"Song Qingning, you come with me to Nanlin. I..."

Xiao Ling might be saying that going to Nanlin would give her a battlefield.

But he didn't continue.

Her legs are useless and worthless.

She never understood Xiao Ling, nor did she need to. After that, the two had no further contact.

One can live a second life.

In his past life, he said he came specifically to find her.

In this life, we will inevitably meet again.

The two also had a grudge over that sword strike.

Song Qingning snapped out of her thoughts, took a deep breath, and said, "Xiao Ling has arrived in the capital."

Her words shocked both Xie Xuanjin and Wan Zi.

"How did he end up in the capital? He was clearly attacked and injured..." Wan Zi stopped speaking here.

An assassination attempt could also be a smokescreen.

His seclusion to recuperate from his injuries effectively concealed the fact that he was not in the capital of Nanlin.

It's not impossible that Xiao Ling has come to the capital.

"Your Highness, how did you know that the Crown Prince of Nanlin had come to the capital?" Wan Zi asked in confusion, though the title "Your Highness" came out very naturally to her.

Xie Xuanjin also looked at Song Qingning.

Seeing her frown, as if she was in a dilemma.

Xie Xuanjin lowered his eyes and instructed Wan Zi, "Now that he has come to the capital, Wan Zi, I order you to immediately find out his whereabouts."

The master gave the order.

"Yes, I will do it right away." Wan Zi immediately accepted the order, completely forgetting the doubts in her heart just now.

After Wan Zi left, Xie Xuanjin didn't bother to find out how she knew.

Song Qingning breathed a sigh of relief.

However, she was also puzzled by the fact that the Prince of Huai was so certain in ordering Wan Zi to investigate Xiao Ling's whereabouts, as if he had no doubt about what she said.

This is very unusual.

"Your Highness, aren't you going to ask me how I knew Xiao Ling had come to the capital?"
