Xia Yuqing looked miserably at the sight of the few people watching her covetously. She shrugged her shoulders, finally yielding: ”Fine, Chen Qie does understand what's written on there.”

When Xia Yuqing spoke, the four people were taken back. As soon as they looked at each other, Feng Tingye said, ”If Zhen remembers correctly, Ai Fei, you never leave the palace. How could you randomly understand all this? Only experienced people within this field would be able to understand these intricate designs.”

Xia Yuqing glanced at the four men who were staring at her fixedly, trying to escape direct eye contact she turned her eyes away and sighed: ”It's a long story.”

”Then Ai Fei can make it short.”

”…..” Xia Yuqing almost choked, coughing a few times to clear her throat. ”Does Your Majesty still remember the Nai Niang that Chen Qie had mentioned before who had raised Chen Qie.”

Nai Niang = wet nurse

Feng Tingye raised his eyebrows: ”The one who kept on warning you to pretend to be a fool? The Nai Niang you call mom?”

Xia Yuqing's gave Feng Tingye an aggrieving glance, without having an enmity, I myself wouldn't have known the inside information and said something wrong. Yet, Ultra Seme Lord, you still remember it now? Ultra Seme Lord, your eye to detail is even sharper than a needle!

”That is her. The emperor has no idea, but my Nai Niang was not to be trifled with. My Nai Niang was born in a family of craftsmen, and had followed her parents travelling everywhere from childhood. Thus, she was very rather good at these kinds of thing. But unfortunately she had a senior in her family who was blinded by greed. Using his position for personal gain, he would deduct construction materials for his own use, and eventually caused the building to collapse, resulting in heavy casualties.”

Xia Yuqing secretly glanced at a few people, then seeing that they had no particular expression on their face did she then let out a sigh of relief. Anyways, construction back during the ancient period were all rubbish projects. Her Nai Niang was just a fabricated character, she might as well walk down this path until it became black. She really doesn't believe they could figure out anything since she was this ambiguous with her explanation.

Within Xia Yuqing's heart, she was rolling around 360 degrees without any dead ends. Huh, how could I be so intelligent and clever?
