Reborn as the Crippled King's Beloved
Chapter 330: Who is Lady Yao After All?

Chapter 330: Chapter 330: Who is Lady Yao After All?

Having finished speaking, Murong Jiu herself was startled for a moment.

She surprisingly still had the mood for jokes.

Could it be deep down, she also felt that Prince Ling wouldn’t come to any harm?

But she didn’t understand Prince Ling, only knowing that he was formidable in leading troops into battle.

Possibly because she had been on The Fourth Prince’s side before, she had restrained Prince Ling, preventing him from displaying his full capabilities.

With her gone, Prince Ling should be able to wreak havoc now.

She only hoped that the people who went there next weren’t The Fourth Prince’s and Na Kesi’s men.

In truth, she was also very restless at this moment.

She feared she would bring trouble to Senior Brother Cheng and Lady Yao.

After she finished speaking, Lady Yao smiled, walked into the house, and brought out a bronze mirror.

Murong Jiu looked into the mirror at her smooth, fair face, dumbfounded.

"My birthmark, it’s gone?"

For the many years she had lived, the birthmark on her face was what she cared about the most. Why did she fancy Second Prince? It was because Second Prince never despised her looks and was exceptionally kind to her.

Actually, she was also nervous, the twins should belong to Second Prince, right? Had outsiders never suspected? She had already been pregnant for over a month when she married into Prince Ling’s Mansion.

There were too many doubts in her mind, and those doubts were not easy to voice.

"It was the master who found the medicine for you, to remove it. Before you lost your memory, you told me," Lady Yao explained.

Thinking of her master, Murong Jiu felt a deep yearning; the old master would definitely worry about her disappearance.

And her own flesh and blood, her two children, she also had no idea who was looking after them now.

Lady Yao saw her inability to sit still, seeming to want to go out.

Lady Yao knew what Murong Jiu was thinking; probably worried about bringing trouble to her and to the children, afraid that The Fourth Prince’s people might find them.

Yet, since she was already here, Lady Yao couldn’t just ignore her. So, she started to talk to Murong Jiu about the affairs in the Capital City.

"The Princess Consort had conflicts with the Western Region Prince too. The Princess Consort still remembers Fu Baozhu, no, it should be Wang Baozhu."

Murong Jiu of course knew Fu Baozhu, General Fu’s daughter, the most favored Noble Girl in the Capital City, rumored to be even more adored than the princesses in the Imperial Palace.

"Why did she change her last name to Wang? And what was her relation with the Western Region Prince?"

Seeing that she truly could not recall anything, Lady Yao said, "Fu Baozhu and you, the Princess Consort, were switched at birth; she is the daughter of Lady Wang and the steward of the Marquis Mansion, while you are the biological daughter of General Fu."

Murong Jiu was extremely shocked.

Lady Yao continued, "The Western Region Prince took a liking to the then Fu Baozhu, but faced severe opposition from General Fu and others. Unwillingly, they had an impromptu affair and were then knocked unconscious and abandoned on the street. Before everyone, Fu Baozhu denounced General Fu, declaring that he was sabotaging their love and stated that she would marry no one but the Western Region Prince. Following this, her true identity was revealed. Only then did people realize that you were the real daughter of the General, and the Western Region Prince subsequently abandoned her."

It took a while for Murong Jiu to respond, "So the Western Region Prince hates me because of this. If not for me, he could have married Fu Baozhu and taken her back to the Western Regions. The Western Regions had been conquered by General Fu and his men as a vassal state; if General Fu’s daughter married into the Western Regions, it would seem like washing away a disgrace for the locals there. Moreover, the Emperor would suspect General Fu."

After she spoke, a few street scenes flashed in her mind, but they were fleeting and uncatchable.

Listening to this, Senior Brother Cheng said, "That serves them right! This Fu, Wang Baozhu, really brought destruction upon themselves!"

Murong Jiu frowned, while Lady Yao’s gentle voice continued to narrate softly.

In reality, Lady Yao was a very gentle person, but she also had a kind of resilience to her, like wild flowers growing on mountain cliffs, brimming with vitality.

However, she wasn’t really listening; her heart grew more anxious. All she could think of was the previous scene of Prince Ling, his face covered in blood looking at her, the depths of the eyes hidden beneath his mask, haunting her to the core.

Why did they have to make her lose her memory?

Did she carry some other secrets unknown to everyone?

Then, did Prince Ling know about them?

Did the master know?

The Fourth Prince must know, but how much does he know?

As time passed, her heart grew more uneasy and anxious.

In the end, she suddenly stood up, and both Senior Brother Cheng and Lady Yao looked at her.

Meeting their gazes, she felt somewhat deflated and said, "I, I feel tight in the chest and want to go out for a walk."

There was something she also found strange.

Lady Yao seemed to have a thorough understanding of matters in the Capital City.

However, the reaction of Senior Brother Cheng seemed as if he had never heard of these matters.

The two of them were too estranged.

There were no men’s clothes in the room either.

She must have misunderstood the relationship between Lady Yao and Senior Brother Cheng.

But why didn’t Lady Yao explain?

Could it be that Lady Yao also had something unspeakable?

Murong Jiu’s mind was a mess, and she herself couldn’t make sense of it.

But she was also clear that she should not probe into other people’s secrets, and moreover, Lady Yao had kindly sheltered both her and Senior Brother Cheng.

So, what she was most worried about now was that she might have dragged Lady Yao, who wanted to live in seclusion, into this.

If Prince Ling turned up, she could still breathe a sigh of relief, but if it were the Fourth Prince and Na Kesi, it would be very troublesome.

She knew how ruthless the Fourth Prince could be.

The Fourth Prince had unhesitatingly ordered the Hidden Guard to kill her, possibly because he feared she might remember something that would bring him significant loss.

Then Senior Brother Cheng, Lady Yao, and the baby in the swaddle would all perish with her.

How pitiful, Senior Brother Cheng and Lady Yao and the child, how innocent are they?

Before she even stepped out, Lady Yao took her hand and said to her, "Princess Consort need not worry about anything, I’m someone who believes in fate."

The implication was that whatever they might encounter next, there was nothing to fear; she believed in the arrangements of fate.

Whether it is life or death, it all depends on fate.

Murong Jiu was moved by her open-minded demeanor.

There are all sorts of people in this world, but Lady Yao was definitely one of the most extraordinary.

Her eyes held a depth that seemed to have experienced countless worldly events, which did not match her age yet did not seem out of place.

Lady Yao also felt sentimental inside; she had secluded herself to such an extent, apart from giving birth and having a midwife during her confinement, she had almost no contact with anyone.

Who would have thought that even after faking her death to escape, the person she ended up meeting was still connected to him.

If this isn’t fate, what is?

She comforted Murong Jiu, "Prince Ling will find the Princess Consort. Even if Prince Ling does not find her first, your father and brothers will reach you before the Fourth Prince and others. They are all very reliable people."

If it weren’t for being too close to the Western Regions, and Prince Ling’s men being spread thin in their search for the Princess Consort, the Fourth Prince and Na Kesi might have already been trapped by now.

Lady Yao had heard many times from Su Kai how outstanding Prince Ling was and how strong his mentality was.

The Princess Consort is the person Prince Ling cares about the most. Now that the Princess Consort has escaped from the Fourth Prince, next, it might just be a one-sided beating.

Yet, before these words had long settled, a knock came from outside.
