Chapter 314 Suspicion
Chapter 314 Suspicion
Xie Changting's pupils suddenly shrank. Ever since Feng Qingqing was stripped of her skirt by Xie Ying and dragged to the street for public display, he felt like a thorn in his heart and felt only disgust towards Feng Qingqing.
After Liu was stabbed by Feng Qingqing, she was bedridden and her condition showed no signs of improvement.
The younger son also suffered the same fate and was thrown to death by Xie Ying. Feng Qingqing filed a lawsuit against Xie Ying in the Dali Temple, and Xie Ying was thrown into jail.
Now, he only has his illegitimate son Xie Pan left by his side, and he knows in his heart that he will never have any other children in the future.
Xie Changting didn't expect that the King of Nanping had found out all his details as soon as he returned to Beijing.
Seeing his illegitimate son, who he had ordered to stay in the academy and not to return home, being escorted in by two armored guards, he suddenly looked as pale as death.
Fearing that his son's life was in danger, Xie Changting was filled with reluctance, but he could only bear it. He picked up the wolf hair brush with trembling hands and wrote his name on the memorial of mourning.
Prince Nanping glanced at the memorial and waved his hand to signal the armored guards, "Arrange for Lord Xie to bring the old lady's coffin back to the village for burial."
Xie Changting suddenly raised his eyes, his eyes were red, staring at the Prince of Nanping, and roared: "The prince killed my mother and forced me to resign. No matter how big the crime I committed, it should be paid for now. Why is the prince still not willing to let me go?"
The King of Nanping sneered, his eyes full of coldness, "Let you go? You killed my princess, and caused my daughter to suffer since she was a child. Even if I kill your whole family, it will not be enough to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
If it weren't for the concern that Xie Lan would be criticized after the death of all the Xie family members, King Nanping would have wanted to kill all the Xie family members at this moment.
"take away."
It doesn’t matter if you can’t kill the Xie family now. There will be plenty of opportunities to do it once they leave the capital.
Prince Nanping signaled his confidant to select a team of armored guards, who took away all the members of the Xie family without leaving any behind. Only then did he turn his attention to Xie Lan.
"Lanlan, I'm sorry that father is late and has caused you suffering. Are you... willing to go home with father?"
Xie Lan looked at the Prince of Nanping in front of him with a complicated expression. Although it was their first meeting, he could tell that he was a prince of iron will.
Even though his legs were disabled and he could only sit in a wheelchair, his majesty was not diminished at all. He must be very strict on weekdays, but when facing me, his eyes were full of guilt and anxiety, and even his tone was cautious, gentle and flattering.
Seeing the longing in his eyes and the gray hair on his temples, Xie Lan couldn't help but feel sorry for him and said softly, "Although I grew up in Sanqing Mountain, my life was not hard. Master and all the uncles, brothers, and sisters were very kind to me. Father, don't feel guilty."
Xiao Jin knew that what Xie Lan said was true. She lived happily and comfortably in Sanqing Mountain. On the contrary, her master and uncles were often troubled by her.
But Prince Nanping was unaware of this and thought his daughter was just comforting him, and he felt even more distressed for her.
Seeing that Xie Lan had no resistance to him, Prince Nanping was very happy and couldn't wait to take her back to Prince Nanping's Palace.
Perhaps to get to know his daughter better, the Prince of Nanping asked Xie Lan to get on his carriage, and the father and daughter sat facing each other. The Prince of Nanping personally poured her a cup of tea and brought out the snacks prepared by his personal guards.
With a loving smile on his face, he asked, "Are you hungry, girl? Do you want some snacks to fill your stomach?"
Seeing Xie Lan's eyes fixed on the snacks but not moving, the Prince of Nanping felt a little uneasy. "Are these snacks not to your liking? Tell your father what you like to eat, and your father will send someone to buy it for you, okay?"
Seeing the Prince of Nanping trying so hard to please her, Xie Lan felt a little sad. If the original owner was still alive, she would be so happy to know that her father loved her so much. Unfortunately, she was not the original owner.
Seeing the disappointed look on the face of the Prince of Nanping, Xie Lan couldn't bear it, and smiled and picked up a piece of snack, "Father, I'm not picky about food. Fortunately, you prepared snacks. I'm just hungry."
Seeing that she had eaten the snacks, the Prince of Nanping was very happy and pushed the snack plate towards her, "Since you are hungry, then fill your stomach quickly. But don't eat too much, it will be time for dinner soon."
Prince Nanping remembered that his mansion had not been lived in for many years, so he quickly lifted the curtain and ordered his personal guards, "Send someone back to the mansion immediately, and tell the housekeeper to arrange for someone to clean Qingheju for the young lady to live in, and then have the cook prepare meals."
Remembering that the cook didn't know Xie Lan's taste, the Prince of Nanping quickly turned around and asked Xie Lan, "What dishes do you like? Father will have someone prepare them for you."
Xie Lan knew that Prince Nanping felt guilty and wanted to compensate her. If she did not accept it, he would definitely be disappointed again.
"Father, please have someone take Nanny Zhang back first. She has served me for many years and knows my preferences best."
Seeing the guards respectfully accept and turn away, Xie Lan looked at King Nanping, "Father, can you tell me about my mother? I was sent to Mount Sanqing when I was born, and I don't have any impression of her at all."
Seeing Xie Lan asking about Su, the Prince of Nanping suppressed his grief and slowly spoke of the past, "Your mother's real name is not Su Jinrong, her surname is Han, her maiden name is Wanqi, and she is a very gentle and kind woman.
If I hadn’t been shot by the enemy’s poisonous arrows and was unconscious, and the military doctors were helpless, she wouldn’t have traveled thousands of miles to the capital to ask the emperor to send a royal doctor to treat me, and she wouldn’t have been chased by someone on the way, and fell off a cliff and injured her head…”
After Prince Nanping finished telling Xie Lan about the princess, he suddenly asked, "Do you really want to marry the eldest prince? If so..."
Although he knew that Xiao Jin was a rare talent, the King of Nanping did not want Xie Lan to get married so soon after they met. He thought that if Xie Lan did not want to get married, he would risk his military exploits and ask the emperor to withdraw the imperial decree of marriage.
But he didn't expect that before he could finish his words, Xie Lan suddenly covered his mouth and vomited.
Prince Nanping felt nervous, thinking that she had a stomach upset, and immediately asked the accompanying military doctor to come and take Xie Lan's pulse.
When Xie Lan thought of the baby in her belly, her heart skipped a beat. She wanted to stop vomiting, but once she started, she couldn't stop. She could only watch the military doctor feel her pulse.
The Prince of Nanping saw that the military doctor was hesitant to speak after taking the pulse, and his brows were tightly knitted into the shape of a "川" character. "Why don't you speak? Is there something wrong?"
The military doctor looked up at Xie Lan and wanted to let her tell Prince Nanping herself, but she kept vomiting, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Your Highness, the young lady is... pregnant."
King Nanping was stunned. He was relieved to know that Xie Lan was not seriously ill. But when he came to his senses, his expression changed again and again. He wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he saw that Xie Lan was vomiting so uncomfortably, so he could only swallow them back.
He looked at the military doctor with a serious face, "Why is she vomiting so severely? Is there any way to help her stop vomiting?"
The military doctor saw the King of Nanping's worry, but didn't dare to say anything. He took out a silver needle and gave Xie Lan an injection. Unexpectedly, after the injection, Xie Lan's vomiting not only did not stop, but it seemed to get worse.
Tiechui, who was following behind, heard the noise from afar and hurried forward. Seeing that Xie Lan was indeed vomiting, he immediately said, "Miss, please wait a moment. I will go find the eldest prince right away."
Prince Nanping frowned so hard that he could pinch a fly to death. He was suspicious and Xie Lan vomited. Why didn't she, a maid, go to the imperial physician but the eldest prince instead?
