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

A hint of guilt welled up in his eyes. Wu Wang took a deep breath, paused for a moment, and then continued:

"I manipulated that palace maid. I led her to believe that Xie Yuqi's death was caused by the Emperor. I stirred up her hatred and encouraged her to take revenge."

"But she also knew that as a mere palace maid, she didn't even have the qualifications to get close to the emperor, so I mentioned the young prince to her."

"She did indeed set her sights on the young prince. She stole him and planned to kill him, and this was my chance."

"This servant will have rendered meritorious service simply by saving the young prince."

That night, the palace maid stared at him in shock as she lay dying, because she had realized his purpose.

A moment of silence fell over the room.

Xie Xuanjin and Song Qingning naturally did not forget that night.

Wu Wang saved the young prince, but was even injured and disfigured in the process.

They had questioned his motives, and Song Qingning even personally asked him what he wanted.

"I thought you would use the favor of saving the young prince to repay him." Song Qingning stared at Wu Wang. Clearly, his purpose was not for her and Xie Xuanjin to repay him.

Wu Wang met the gazes of the Emperor and Empress with great self-awareness.

"This servant is entering the palace to escape Bei Rong's pursuit. The biggest purpose is revenge. In this world, the only one who can help this servant take revenge is Da Jing."

"Those people from Beirong killed my mother; they all deserve to die. The only thing they fear is the Shence Army of Dajing..."

"But even if this servant has rendered meritorious service by 'saving' the young prince, I cannot expect such a great favor. Moreover, this servant knows that I do not have the ability to influence the Emperor and the Empress's decisions. Furthermore, if my purpose is exposed, my past actions will be exposed."

and so……

Song Qingning narrowed her eyes. "So, from the very beginning, your target was never me or the Emperor, but Heng'er."

"Yes."

Wu Wang took a deep breath.

"The young prince is just a child. This servant is confident that I can influence and control him."

"His interest in military strategy is no coincidence. I hope he can be good at planning and fighting. I hope that one day he can become my weapon. I have prepared many methods to make him interested in military strategy."

"But on that day, I only showed him a painting of the Emperor and Empress in armor, commanding thousands of troops, with a military book next to it."

"When I saw the light in His Highness's eyes, I knew that my plan had succeeded."

"From a young age, the young prince has looked up to the Emperor and Empress. He is very interested in military strategy and has a talent for martial arts. One day, he will surely become the blade in this servant's hand, the one that pierces Bei Rong! Then, this servant will be able to avenge himself!"

"But……"

As Wu Wang spoke, a self-deprecating smile appeared on his lips, but he refused to say any more.

He paused for a long time before kowtowing heavily to the Emperor and Empress to confess his sins.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Empress, this servant entered the palace with malicious intent, plotting against the young prince and attempting to exploit him. This servant is guilty and willing to accept the death penalty."

He is willing to accept the death penalty!

Xie Xuanjin and Song Qingning looked at him.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, as long as Wu Wang lets Heng'er die at the hands of the Seventh Prince of Beirong, inciting the deep-seated hatred between the two countries, he can still achieve his goal.

But he didn't.

When he shielded Heng'er with his body, it was genuine.

Over the years, Tuoba Rui has been by Heng'er's side with ulterior motives, and he has probably developed feelings for her as well.

Silence fell over the room.

In the silence, someone more eager to seize the opportunity spoke up: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Empress, Tuoba Rui has confessed! He admitted to plotting against the young prince! He deserves to die! Please, Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Empress, punish him!"

Excitement gleamed in the man's eyes.

He seemed to think that if Tuoba Rui died, he could live.

But clearly, that's wishful thinking.

"Punishment is warranted!" Song Qingning said, his voice cold and filled with murderous intent.

But the man seemed oblivious to his impending doom, even glancing triumphantly at Tuoba Rui before proposing to the Emperor and Empress, "My cousin, the Emperor, hates him the most. He's been sending people to find him. You two kill him for him, and when I return to Beirong, I'll definitely explain everything to my cousin..."

"Explanation?"

Song Qingning interrupted him.

"What do you want to prove? Do you want to prove that the three arrows I shot that night killed the Seventh Prince of Beirong? Or do you want to prove that I, the Prince of Dajing, cut off your arm, the Seventh Prince of Beirong?"

"..."

The man was taken aback.

Realizing what was happening, she quickly said, "Your Majesty, I won't say these things. I will tell my cousin the Emperor that my cousin the Seventh Prince was killed by Tuoba Rui, and it has nothing to do with Your Majesty and the young prince."

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will definitely keep this a secret."

Song Qingning raised an eyebrow. "Keep a secret? You weren't even heartbroken or concerned about the death of your seventh cousin, how can I believe you can keep a secret?"

Furthermore…

"I don't need anyone to keep secrets! The Seventh Prince of Beirong came to my Great Jing without permission, attempting to harm my son. I will settle this score with the Emperor of Beirong!"

"As for you..."

A fierce glint flashed in Song Qingning's eyes. "My Great Jing will have your corpse, along with the corpse of the Seventh Prince of Beirong, sent back to Beirong!"

"Someone come here..."

Song Qingning gave the order.

A moment later, Wan Liang entered the room and awaited orders.

"Take them away and kill them without mercy!"

As soon as the words fell, Wan Liang, accompanied by his guards, led the man away amidst pleas for mercy.

Having dealt with that person, only Tuoba Rui remains.

Wu Wang was quite surprised by Song Qingning's treatment of that person.

Sending the body back to Beirong was a provocation.

Given the second son's ruthless and vindictive nature, even if he is currently wary of the Shence Army, he will surely bite Da Jing like a hungry wolf at some point in the future.

Yu Dajing is a potential threat!

But for me, it's a good thing.

He thought he would be happy, but he wasn't.

At this moment, his heart was both calm and gloomy. The calmness was the helplessness of knowing that he could not take revenge, the hatred of his own powerlessness, as if he had lost his spirit.

After dealing with the North Rong people, only he was left.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this humble servant dares to ask you a favor."

Wu Wang spoke, a hint of uncertainty in his eyes, as if he was worried that the Emperor and Empress would not care about his request.

After a long while, they finally heard the emperor's signal from above.

"you say."

Wu Wang's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately seized the opportunity.

"His Highness is kind-hearted. He is too young to bear even the punishment of palace servants. This servant begs His Majesty and His Highness to allow this servant to leave Jinhua Palace temporarily and be transferred elsewhere. After this servant disappears, His Highness will not ask any questions."

A voice popped into Wu Wang's mind.

The child's innocent voice said, "Your subject does not want him to die."

However, the Emperor and Empress could not tolerate what he had done, and they would not allow such a hidden danger to live and have another chance to harbor the ambition to use the young prince for revenge.

He has only one wish.

"This servant doesn't want His Highness to know that this servant is dead."
