"So, what was the illness I had?"
"Because it was so urgent at the ti, we didn’t wait to see what illness you had, we went straight to give birth to the fourth princess. At that ti, your mother stayed with you. However, there was an issue with our identification, the hospital did not want to perform surgery for us. Your mother was outside, she saw arguing with the doctor, she directly ca over and scolded the doctor fiercely. The doctor felt ashad and went straight in to perform our surgery. Because of that, I got to know your mother."
"So that’s how it was." Ye Ning said, "What about afterwards?"
"Afterwards, the queen gave birth to the fourth princess but soon after, soone found out about us and they rushed in and took away the fourth princess."
"Ah?" Ye Ning exclaid in surprise, "So the fourth princess..."
"When the fourth princess was found, it was already a charred corpse. Because of this, the queen was in extre grief, but we had to leave."
"These people, they are too terrifying."
They would harm a newborn baby, and a child who was only a few years old.
"Indeed." Ai Zhong shook his head, "Even now, I think I also bore a great responsibility for what happened then. If I had discovered it earlier and protected the queen and the fourth princess properly, then the fourth princess wouldn’t have t with such a fate."
He looked at Ye Ning, "But you almost died from the illness back then, seeing you grow up this big now really brings comfort."
"Yes." Ye Ning said, "My mother never told about these things."
"They say that if you survive a great disaster, you’re bound to have good fortune afterward."
Ye Ning smiled, "Thank you."
Ye Ning thought of the queen, "So the queen now..."
"She has now beco the queen." He said, "She is still recuperating from the loss of the fourth princess. Also, the little prince has been in poor health, and she has been blaming herself. So over the years, she has been praying every day and doesn’t often stay in the palace. Fortunately, the prince’s health has improved a lot now. The queen will surely attend the banquet tomorrow."
"Really, may the souls of the departed rest in peace, and hopefully, the Queen can let go."
"Thank you, madam, you are truly a kind person."
"I was just expressing my feelings."
Mu Yeli had been listening intently from behind, he stood there, his arms crossed.
After the two finished speaking, he stepped forward and said, "Alright, Ye Ning, let us go back and not disturb Steward Ai’s rest."
"Okay."
On the way back, Ye Ning asked, "So, you also never heard about this?"
Mu Yeli shook his head, "This kind of thing wouldn’t be disclosed to outsiders. After all, the death of a princess, surviving a disaster, these are so of the royal family’s more secret affairs. He probably told you because he took a liking to you."
"Right."
This situation was also not found in the information from the organization. Perhaps no one from the organization had looked into it.
...
The next day.
The royal palace was holding a midday feast.
Early in the morning, Ye Ning had dressed up neatly and went out.
Mu Yeli accompanied her. They were led by a servant from outside towards the banquet hall in the front.
Mu Yeli said, "This banquet hall is usually where they hold state banquets. You can take a look around later."
"Wow, I’m really fortunate to be attending a state banquet."
"Yes." Mu Yeli helped her adjust her clothes a bit and led her into the room.
"Mr. Mu."
"Mr. Mu, it’s a rare pleasure to see you in M Country."
"Is this your wife? You really make a perfect match."
When the two of them entered, everyone started greeting them.
Ye Ning smiled warmly, standing by his side the whole ti.
