Chapter 472 - Qin Wenya Comes To Know About The Old Nanny
In fact, the next moment he said very calmly
"Well, His Highness the second prince had always been very wise and eloquent. Does Her Majesty didn\'t know that?"
"Or could it be possible that His Majesty always told Your Majesty that the second prince was not as wise and eloquent as His Highness, the first prince and hence he was not capable of taking over the throne?"
Zhao Zhuang Chen also came out of his thoughts. Perhaps because it was the first time, he heard Xi Ying praising him, Zhao Zhuang Chen felt a little proud on hearing the praise while Qin Wenya visibly flinched at these words.
Indeed.
It was Zhao Wang Lei who had told her this and hence she had been startled when she had seen how wrong she had been regarding Zhao Zhang Wei. He was not a fool and incapable of using his mind.
"Don\'t try to mislead, Prime Minister Xi. It still doesn\'t prove anything."
Qin Wenya said firmly.
Xi Ying shook his head as he looked at the Empress and Qin Wenya didn\'t know she felt as if Xi Ying was disappointed in her.
She frowned as she tried to assure herself that it was just one of Xi Ying\'s mind games.
But never had she known that even after knowing all this, even after being so cautious she will still fall into Xi Ying\'s trap.
"Bnengong knows that His Majesty is really sincere towards Bengong and her children."
Qin Wenya said softly as she looked at her son who looked away from her clearly disagreeing with her mother.
And Xi Ying spoke again
"Your Majesty should do her own investigation. Perhaps Your Majesty will get to know how much sincere that man is to Your Majesty."
Qin Wenya was getting very irritated with Xi Ying\'s counterattacks. Here she was trying to convince her son but Xi Ying was not letting it happen.
"What do you want to say, Prime Minister Xi? Just say clearly."
This time Qin Wenya said directly. She didn\'t want to talk in riddles anymore. She wanted to see what more Xi Ying could say against her husband.
But contrary to Qin Wenya\'s expectations, Xi Ying had a lot to say.
Xi Ying\'s lips twitched and he leaned back against the couch he was sitting on. Qin Wenya felt humiliated by his actions. She was the Empress and Xi Ying was not supposed to act like this in front of her.
However, when had Xi Ying cared for all this.
"Your Majesty thinks that His Majesty would never harm His Highness because His Highness is His Majesty\'s son but what if this minister tells you that His Majesty had already done so, not once but many times. In fact, he had been doing this for so many years."
"What?"
Both Qin Wenya and Zhao Zhuang Chen looked confused at Xi Ying\'s words.
And Xi Ying continued
"Princess Wenling …but what does she lack in this Imperial Palace?"
Xi Ying\'s heart was filled with distaste when he mentioned the princess\' name. He didn\'t even wish to talk about the disgusting princess who once became the reason for such a big misunderstanding between him and his wife.
However, he needed to tell Qin Wenya about this because only then he would be able to make her believe him.
"Here in this Imperial Palace, she doesn\'t lack anything. Yet, She still schemes to kill my wife almost every day."
"She claims that it had been Rui who tried to harm her fourteen years ago but what is This Lord says that it was never this Lord\'s wife\'s fault."
Qin Wenya frowned as she wondered where Xi Ying was trying to go from all this but Xi Ying soon told her.
"Your Majesty, the reality is that the princess had been brainwashed since her childhood. Now she no longer has her own thoughts and goes crazy over the slightest thing. It is very easy to provoke her. Just one word from the owner and princess, like a slave, does everything she is told."
Qin Wenya\'s eyes were very cold as she heard Xi Ying saying this and that about her daughter. She, of course, didn\'t like the way Xi Ying was talking about her daughter.
But she still didn\'t say anything because somewhere and at some places, she felt that Xi Ying was actually right.
In fact, she also wondered many times why her daughter turned out to be like this.
So emotional, so edgy and so easy to get provoked.
She had wanted a very calm and wise daughter and she had done everything to make her daughter like that. The present tells her clearly that she had been unsuccessful.
"Does Your Majesty know why the princess is like this?"
Qin Wenya shook her head unconsciously.
"Do you know?"
She asked Xi Ying.
She also wanted to know why her daughter turned out to be like this.
Xi Ying nodded his head and told the Empress.
"The old nanny serving by Princess Wenling\'s side …she has been brainwashing Princess since her childhood. Your Majesty must remember the difference that came in princess after the old nanny started to stay by princess\' side."
Qin Wenya\'s eyes were wide with confusion and shock. She wanted to oppose Xi Ying but in her mind. She was really remembering.
Indeed, all those changes in her daughter came after she had given that old nanny to her daughter.
So she didn\'t know what she should say to Xi Ying while Xi Ying continued to speak.
"It was not Li Rui who had pushed the princess inside the river …it was the old nanny. Princess Wenling was learning martial arts and the old nanny made her give it up."
It was true.
Even though Qin Wenya didn\'t believe Xi Ying\'s first few words, she had to think over his last few words. She had been very sad when she had come to know that her daughter was not going to learn martial arts any longer.
She had tried to find out why Wenling suddenly gave up on this but what she found out had shocked her. Her daughter had thought that Xi Ying would not like her if she learned martial arts.
It was rubbish. Even she knew that but no matter how much she tried she could never convince her daughter and this had made her wonder who filled her daughter\'s mind with all these things but again she had never been able to find out that person.
So according to Xi Ying, it was the old any all along.
But the old nanny…
"The old nanny was planted by His Majesty by the princess\' side."
Xi Ying finished what Qin Wenya was thinking inside her heart.
