After becoming a princess, she fell in love with the emperor of the enemy country

Chapter 213 Can’t go

Qi Wuyou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he could finally start asking questions.

She asked softly, "Xiao Man, I want to ask you, what is your mother's name?"

Qi Wuyou actually felt a little guilty. She didn't want to ask directly, but she felt that if she knew Xiaoman's mother's name, she might be able to find out Xiaoman's background more quickly.

Xiaoman scratched his head, thought seriously for a while, then shook his head and said, "I don't know. Mom never told me her name."

Qi Wuyou sighed helplessly. It seemed that this clue was broken and he could only find another way.

She changed the question and continued, "Xiaoman, where have you been living all these years?"

Xiaoman blinked and replied, "The cold palace, mother said that it was father who sent us in, and father said that he would come to pick us up after everything was done!"

When Qi Wuyou heard this, her eyes lit up, as if she had found the key information. She then asked, "Xiaoman, how old are you this year?"

Xiaoman stuck out her fingers and said in a baby voice, "Seven years old."

Qi Wuyou silently calculated the time in his mind. Xuan Yelan ascended the throne at the age of eighteen, and seven years have passed since then.

It seems that this child should have been born around the time Xuan Yelan ascended the throne.

Thinking of this, Qi Wuyou felt that it was necessary to get to know more deeply, so she decided to continue asking: "Xiao Man, do you know when your birthday is?"

After hearing this question, Xiaoman blinked his big round eyes, looking confused, as if he didn't quite understand what Qi Wuyou meant.

Seeing this, Qi Wuyou patiently explained: "Birthday, it's the day Xiaoman was born, which is also the day when Xiaoman grows one year older!"

She tried to explain it to Xiaoman in a way that was as easy to understand as possible so that he would understand.

After hearing this, Xiaoman thought hard, but still shook his head and said, "Mom hasn't told Xiaoman, so Xiaoman doesn't know. But mother always makes Xiaoman a bowl of hot noodles on the Little New Year's Day, and tells Xiaoman that he is one year older and has become a big boy." After saying that, Xiaoman showed a happy smile on his face.

Xiaonian, it seems that Xiaoman was born on that day.

Qi Wuyou's heart was moved, but he didn't show it on his face. He just glanced at Lianxiang calmly.

Lianxiang immediately understood what she meant and said softly, "Your Majesty, His Majesty ascended the throne on August 23, seven years ago."

Qi Wuyou nodded slightly to show that he understood, but he began to secretly calculate in his heart.

So, Xiaoman was indeed born after Xuan Yelan ascended the throne.

If we calculate the time again, Xiaoman's mother should have been more than five months pregnant at that time.

If Xiaoman's father sent the pregnant Xiaoman's mother to the cold palace in order to protect her, and if that man was really Xuan Yelan, then he had no reason not to pick her up!

Qi Wuyou frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

Could it be that Xiaoman's father was not Xuan Yelan? Or was there some other reason why he couldn't take Xiaoman's mother out of the cold palace?

She thought about it again and again and felt that she seemed to have overlooked some important clue.

At this moment, a thought suddenly flashed through my mind - maybe Xiaoman's father didn't want to pick up Xiaoman's mother, but he couldn't go!

"Xiao Man," Qi Wuyou looked at the hand that had been pulled over Xiao Man and said softly, "Can you let this sister give you a bath now?"

Qi Wuyou was talking about Mei Xue, after all, she had something to ask He Xiang.

Mei Xue knew what Qi Wuyou wanted to do at a glance, and immediately came over and gently coaxed Xiaoman, "Yes, Xiaoman is a good child, go take a bath with your sister, okay?"

Xiaoman looked at Meixue, her face turned red with shyness, and she stammered, "But Xiaoman is a boy..."

Qi Wuyou's eyes widened, secretly surprised, what the hell, this kid knows the difference between boys and girls now?

He Xiang explained, "My lady, there is a saying that people should not sit at the same table when they are seven years old."

Qi Wuyou nodded in understanding. Then, she suddenly thought of an idea and shouted, "Xiao Zhezi."

"Hey, my queen, little Zhezi is here." After hearing the call, little Zhezi hurried to the door.

Qi Wuyou looked at Xiao Zhezi standing at the door and asked Xiaoman with a smile: "Can you let him give you a bath?"

This time Xiaoman nodded, seeming satisfied with the arrangement.

After Qi Wuyou watched Xiao Zhezi and Xiao Man leave, he turned to look at He Xiang: "As I remember, Your Majesty first poisoned the late emperor, and then killed his brothers before ascending the throne, right?"

He Xiang was shocked when she heard this, but she didn't show it on her face. She replied respectfully, "Yes, your majesty."

Qi Wuyou smiled slightly, thinking, So that's how it is. It seems that his previous guess was correct.

She asked He Xiang again: "Why did he do this?"

He Xiang hesitated for a moment and said softly, "Your Majesty, this is a long story..."

Just then, Lianxiang brought Xuan Yelan to them.

Xuan Yelan saw Qi Wuyou and He Xiang standing together, with a puzzled look on his face, and walked up to them and asked, "What's wrong?"

Qi Wuyou smiled and shook his head, indicating that it was okay, then took Xuan Yelan's hand and walked into the inner hall.

He Xiang looked at the backs of the two people leaving, wondering in her heart why the queen suddenly brought up this matter, and where did she get the news from?

"Sit down," Qi Wuyou stretched out his hand and gestured towards the chair next to him.

Xuan Yelan walked over and sat down in confusion, feeling very puzzled.

Didn't they just separate not long ago? Why did Qi Wuyou call him back so soon?

And the speed is too fast!

However, Xuan Yelan knew in his heart that if Qi Wuyou didn't have something important, he would generally not take the initiative to look for him.

After all, they both have busy lives of their own.

Qi Wuyou slightly leaned over and approached Xuan Yelan, looking at him intently, and said calmly: "I met a child today, and the child told me that he is the emperor's son."

Hearing this, Xuan Yelan’s eyes widened and a look of shock appeared on his face.

He quickly waved his hands and explained: "It's impossible, Wuyou, you must believe me, before I met you, I have never touched any other woman."

As if he was afraid that Qi Wuyou would not believe him, he raised three fingers and swore solemnly: "I swear!"

Qi Wuyou stared at Xuan Yelan silently, his eyes so sharp that they seemed to be able to see through his heart.

Xuan Yelan became a little nervous when he was looked at, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Qi Wuyou examined it carefully, and then asked, "Did any of your brothers' concubines become pregnant back then?"

Xuan Yelan was stunned and quickly recalled the past in his mind.

After Qi Wuyou's reminder, he suddenly remembered some vague fragments of memory.
