Chapter 385: Only One

Chapter 385: Only One

Feeling that Mr. Cen was on the verge of emotional collapse, Ji Yunqing suddenly felt refreshed.

We've evened the game!

She asked in surprise: "Oh my, why are Lord Cen's hands shaking? Are you happy that the prince has two children?

As for the news of the addition of a new member to the country, we should be happy indeed! "

Master Cen: “…”

Mr. Cen's mind was spinning, with only two big words in his mind.

Gone!

His only child is gone!

The only child who is his son is about to be adopted by someone else.

With a faint hope in mind, Master Cen asked Prince Zhao: "My Lord, the royal bloodline cannot be mixed.

I thought about it carefully and thought that the wet nurse should be able to recognize her own child. Why not call the wet nurse and ask her? Maybe she can identify the real child.

His face was full of pleading, this was his only child!

However, King Zhao's face was full of disapproval: "Lord Cen, you are too naive. What if the nurse lies for the sake of the child's future? Are you going to let my child wander around?"

Master Cen laughed awkwardly: "This... shouldn't be the case, right?"

"How could I not? I might even lie, let alone others!" Ji Yunqing couldn't help but interrupt.

She looked at Master Cen with sidelong eyes. This was not the time for the old man to question her for deliberately lying.

Humph, you deserve it!

At this time, the servant suddenly came to report.

"Concubine Cen has woken up"

As soon as Concubine Cen woke up, she was told that her one child had become two.

Mrs. Cen told her daughter everything that had happened, and pointed to the swaddling clothes on the left and said, "This is the one that was sleeping next to you when mother came in."

Then he pointed to the child on the right and said, "This child was identified by Concubine Ji, and it is suspected to be your newborn child."

"Take a look, which one do you think is more like your child?"

Concubine Cen looked at the swaddling clothes on the left and then at the swaddling clothes on the right, and her heart was broken.

"mother!"

She really wanted to ask, how did this happen?

Mrs. Cen comforted her daughter: "Don't cry, at this point, just think of it as you giving birth to two children."

My daughter's body was damaged by giving birth to this child and she can no longer have another child.

Just like King Lie said, wait until the children grow up and see which one is the prince’s biological child.

Since the other child was given the status of the prince's adopted son because of her grandson, he will have to help her grandson in the future.

As long as we can clearly distinguish which one is the biological son in the future, even if he is an adopted son in name, I believe the prince will give more compensation to this child.

Concubine Cen was comforted, and finally she lovingly picked up the swaddled baby on the left.

According to my mother, this child is more like her biological child, and the child has not been replaced at all. In fact, Ji Yunqing was deliberately making trouble and lying.

No, Ji Yunqing can't do these things, but the princess can't say for sure.

She did not give birth in the palace, and the princess could not do anything to kill the mother and keep the child, so she designed a plan to make her child an adopted one.

It can also cause the mother and child to be separated.

What a vicious plan!

Concubine Cen rocked the child gently and put her face on the small swaddling clothes. She would not let the princess' evil plan succeed.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me another child. I will definitely take good care of these two children."

Ji Yunqing touched his chin. What Madam Cen said just now was very biased. It seemed that Concubine Cen thought that the child was not replaced.

Her eyes fell on the other child who was being neglected, and she really felt that this child was the real one.

After all, she saw with her own eyes that the child was replaced, which meant that no matter which child it was, it would not be the one that Concubine Cen was holding.

Unfortunately, the child has no birthmarks and looks just like an ordinary newborn baby with no special features. There is nothing to prove his identity.

Ji Yunqing thought gloomily, would she have to see real and fake young masters competing for favor in the mansion in the future?

This is too bloody.

King Zhao said calmly: "You can't take care of two children by yourself. It happens that you only gave birth to one. Choose one of the two children to raise."

Choose one to raise?

Everyone was stunned.

They also thought that Concubine Cen would raise these two children.

Concubine Cen didn't want to choose. It was more reassuring to raise both children by her side: "My lord, what if I made a mistake..."

"rest assured"

King Zhao calmly comforted her: "As for the other child, it will be up to——"

He looked at the princess, who lowered her eyes and did not respond.

Looking at Ji Yunqing again, he was looking up at the patterns on the beams with great interest, as if the patterns were some rare and exquisite item in the world.

King Zhao laughed out of anger. The princess had no children now, so it would be best not to raise a child randomly. What was Ji doing?

He called out: "Ji, come here——"

After saying just the beginning, King Zhao suddenly calmed down.

One child was enough to pester Ji Shi. She wanted him to be told bedtime stories, to be taken out to play every day, and even to eat meals cooked by Ji Shi herself.

If there was another one, Ji would be so busy that he would forget who he was.

Then keep it in the front yard?

King Zhao quickly dismissed this idea as the previous example of raising the cat in the front yard was still there.

Although Concubine Xu Shu was not as foolish and cowardly as Ji Shi and did not dare to dislike him openly, she still complained about him in a tactful way, secretly saying that he did not raise the child well.

After not hearing the follow-up, Ji Yunqing couldn't help but ask, "Prince?"

Could it be possible that she should raise the child?

No!

King Zhao changed his words and said, "Take the child back first, and I will personally choose a foster mother for him."

Ji Yunqing breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes!"

She knew that King Zhao raised the children separately for the good of both children. If they were put together, Concubine Cen might be partial to one of them.

But she already has a biological child, and she doesn't want to have two children and then favor one of them.

In other words, every time I open my eyes, I have to think about treating my two children equally.

She just wanted to give her children plenty of love.

King Zhao did not give Concubine Cen a chance to refuse and said directly: "Let's choose the child first!"

Concubine Cen knew that she could not change his decision, so she could only look left and right, and finally hugged the child in her arms.

"My Lord, I think this child is more friendly."

She chose one, and Ji Yunqing went to pick up the other.

After the selection, King Zhao did not stay for long: "Cen has just given birth, so she will stay here for the full confinement period before going back. There is no need to rush for this child, so he will stay with you for the time being."

If King Zhao had said this at the beginning, Concubine Cen would definitely have been very happy, but now her mind is still confused.

On one hand, she felt that the child in her arms was her own, but on the other hand, she thought, what if she made the wrong choice? What if?

If you think about it carefully, Ji Yunqing is a decent person. What if she didn't lie?

But now she has chosen one and can't regret it anymore.

Gritting her teeth, Concubine Cen forced herself to look away: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Prince Zhao and his entourage left, Master Cen returned to his study and sat alone, feeling an unknown mood in his heart.

Others may not know, but he knows that the child has indeed been replaced.

In other words, the child chosen by his daughter was actually his biological son.

He is my only son!

Do you want to find another chance to change it back?

A month later, the child's appearance had changed drastically, and even if another child was used to replace him, the people in the palace would not be able to tell.
