Chapter 540: 540 is not that much of a conspiracy
Master Yuan Ling already had a suspicion in his heart, but he dared not to pursue the thought.
At first, for the safety of the unborn child, not many were privy to the matter, only the Emperor, Prince Jing, the Crown Prince, and oneself – a total of four people.
Even the Princess Consort of Prince Jing herself was unaware.
So, who exactly leaked the information, resulting in the child being switched?
Even with much consideration, Master Yuan Ling could never imagine that the one behind the child’s switch was the child’s own birth mother.
And the reason for switching the child wasn’t as complicated with sches as he thought, but rely because the child’s mother wanted a son.
Glancing in the direction of the room, Master Yuan Ling appeared contemplative.
Perhaps, the calamity that befell the Princess Consort of Jing today was fate’s design, an opportunity given by the heavens for them to reunite!
Turning his head, Master Yuan Ling looked towards the young servant, “Please relay a ssage to Prince Jing for . This old monk has other matters and must leave now.” After a mont of thought, he added, “Also tell Prince Jing, if he truly wishes for the Princess Consort to awaken, he need only find the maiden he saw on the street today.”
Since the girl is soone with great fortune, she must be extraordinary, unlike ordinary folk. Just because the average person lacks the ans, doesn’t an she lacks them!
Upon hearing Master Yuan Ling’s words, Prince Jing went back into his room and pressed nanny Liu vehently for answers.
Normally, it was this old woman who was closest to the Princess Consort; asking her would undoubtedly yield answers to the Princess Consort’s troubles.
Nanny Liu was well aware of the Princess Consort’s concerns, but alas, she dared not reveal a single word.
Because, once the matter was disclosed, the cri would absolutely not be sothing a re servant could bear, and even the Princess Consort herself might not be able to shoulder such responsibility.
In ti, the entire Liu Family might be ruined due to the actions of the Princess Consort.
No matter how much Prince Jing asked, nanny Liu had only one answer, “This old servant truly does not know the Princess Consort’s worries, please forgive , Your Highness.”
Nanny Liu had followed the Princess Consort for many years and was her wet nurse; Prince Jing could not believe she would risk the Princess Consort never waking up rather than revealing the truth.
If she was adamant about keeping silent, then the only possibility was, as she said, she truly did not know.
For the past few days, in light of the Princess Consort’s coma, Prince Jing had been wracking his brains and had exhausted all efforts.
But without any answers forthcoming, Prince Jing had no choice but to let it go.
When he returned to the courtyard, Prince Jing discovered that Master Yuan Ling had already left.
Turning his head, he asked the young servant, “Where’s that old monk?”
Prince Jing could be disrespectful to Master Yuan Ling, but the servant dared not. “Your Highness, the Master said he had matters to attend to and had to leave first,” the servant replied.
“That old monk is really unreliable, summoned for a task and before it’s done, he disappears,” Prince Jing complained.
The servant looked at Prince Jing nervously, “Before leaving, the Master also said, if Your Highness truly wants the Princess Consort to awaken, just find the maiden that was seen in the street today.”
“That maiden… Ye Jiu?” Prince Jing mumbled to himself.
He had already sought after her, but unfortunately, that wretched girl was unwilling to co!
Prince Jing was not a man of thin skin; if it were anyone else, he would have had them seized by force.
It was a pity that this person was Ye Jiu, leaving him uncertain about what to do.
In the room, hesitating for a long ti, as he watched the Princess Consort’s increasingly pale face, he finally made up his mind.
