My Princess Holds Superpowers-Chapter 557 doesn’t know it has already been exposed

Only by first getting the Prince to set his heart on her, could she later bring up the matter of the child.

The Prince Consort had always treated Jiujiu very well, so well that it once made her feel jealous, but now this kindness worked in her favor.

If she could persuade the Prince to acknowledge Jiujiu as his goddaughter, that would be ideal.

Then, she could hear her call her "mother"!

The Princess Consort kept thinking of every possibility, consciously ignoring the unfavorable ones, plotting everything in a favorable light.

The Princess Consort had it all figured out, but in the blink of an eye, the Prince delivered her a considerable blow.

"Actually, it’s not a big deal. Just that little girl who looks very much like me, she’s leaving the capital city today. I had originally promised to see her off. But during the early court session, Wang Zhengdong, that old man, kept prattling on nonstop, which caused the court to adjourn later than usual, and I didn’t catch up in time, leaving me somewhat regretful!" the Prince said.

"What did you say, Your Highness? You said the child left the capital?" the Princess Consort asked disbelievingly.

"Yes, just today. Isn’t the War King also departing? With her as a girl and her brother, they would be vulnerable on their own, so she conveniently left with the War King’s troops, having their protection along the way," the Prince answered, taking another bite of his meal.

Somehow, speaking of this, the sullen feeling in his heart eased greatly.

However, seeing the Princess Consort’s pale face, the Prince kindly added, "You haven’t fully recovered yet. You should just stay in your room and rest. There are so many people in this mansion, and they won’t let me starve. There’s no need for you to trouble yourself to come all this way!"

The following words fell on deaf ears as the Princess Consort no longer listened and gave no reply.

At that moment, she felt utterly cold.

Gone?

How could she leave?

She had just recognized her, had not yet had the chance to acknowledge each other, had not yet had the time to properly look at her, how could she just leave...

Even upon returning to her own courtyard, the Princess Consort was still dazed.

Nanny Liu closely attended to the Princess Consort and had naturally heard what the Prince said. Upon returning, she quickly came forward to console her, "Your Highness needn’t worry. After all, the Commandery Princess is still alive in this world. That is what’s most important, isn’t it?"

"Yes, being alive is what’s most important," the Princess Consort sighed and then said, "Nanny, are you sure about the information that was gathered?"

According to what the Prince said, Jiujiu’s family was not close to the capital city, and she found it hard to believe that the person she had always thought was nearby had actually been cast far away all these years!

The Princess Consort’s question did not arise from doubt about Ye Jiu’s identity but from sheer incredulity.

However, Nanny Liu was very confident, "Rest assured, Your Highness. We have a shop next to the ice shop opened by the Commandery Princess. I had the shopkeeper’s daughter use a little trick to inquire from the nephew who came to the capital city with the Commandery Princess. The information is absolutely accurate."

"That’s good... That’s good..." The Princess Consort’s smile was ugly, "Nanny, I want to know how the child has been getting by all these years. Instruct someone to find out. Also, I’ve heard that the Liu Family’s formulas were snatched from that child. Investigate what happened there too!"

...

At this time, Ye Jiu was unaware that her identity had been exposed.

Now, she was eating lunch at the granary farm Sikong Mo had set up, while the soldiers were busy loading the packed grain into the wagons.
