Chapter 44
"Mother is kind and son is filial"
"Which palace are you from? How dare you break into the cold palace and talk nonsense?"
Seeing this person dressed as a court lady, and searching through his memory to find his identity, Zhou Cheng questioned him confidently.
The young man was very similar to his father, he was not angry when he frowned, he had the aura of questioning from a superior, and the cold words he uttered between his lips opened and closed stabbed Xu Xiaoyue in the heart, "What are you, where are you?" Is it your turn to object?"
Jia Yanru has been immersed in the deep palace for many years, and she is no longer a reckless girl. Seeing that the person who came was not the emperor or concubine, she felt murderous in her heart.
She held the boy's arm, put her lips on the boy's earlobe and whispered, "Your Highness, you can't keep her."
Looking at the staring eyes of this unrequited lover, Xu Xiaoyue realized that her whole body was cold.
That's right, she is not the eldest princess now, let alone the maid Su Xiaoyue who has been entangled with Zhou Sinian.
Now she is just an ant whose life is like a straw, easily trampled to death by the nobles.
What's more, she broke through the royal secrets of the emperor's woman and son's private meeting... Even if Zhou Cheng and Jia Yanru were merciful and spared her life, Zhou Sinian would silence her as an insider for the sake of the royal face.
She has been reborn twice, and even she herself is not sure if she will have a third rebirth, maybe if she is dead now, she is truly and completely dead?
Thinking of this possibility, Xu Xiaoyue's legs trembled.
Her head was spinning rapidly at this moment——
How to do how to do……
no solution anymore.
Xu Xiaoyue gritted her teeth, and shouted loudly, "I am your aunt, Your Highness! All the ladies from You Kingdom know about this!"
"Really? I have been in the palace for so many years, how could I not know that sister who is a maid is still alive?"
"My elder sister was originally a medical girl who lived in the Qingyuan Mountain of Zhou State. The whole family was almost killed because of the bandits in You Country... My sister and I got separated when we were fleeing to You Country," Xu Xiaoyue ignored the taunt of the noble concubine. My mind was frantically thinking about the details of this false story, "Later I was adopted as the daughter of a peasant family in the state of Zhou, and my sister's wandering theater troupe was named the eldest princess by the blue eyes of the emperor of You country... Then I was sold to the Liu family as a maid, sister Elope to You Country..."
"Joke, if my mother was really from Zhou country, why did she flee to You country?" the young man asked coldly.
"Because of framing! The government has determined that my family colluded with Youguo... If Your Highness doesn't believe it, you can ask the Qingyuan County bureaucrats or people to prove it, Your Highness!!"
The girl's story was full of flaws, and both of them were very impatient to hear it.
But she looks so similar to the eldest princess, she can tell a lot of secrets that only the eldest princess knows, and she also said that the identity of her eldest princess sister is known to all seven concubines from You country, so she can't treat ordinary palace people like that. So casually find an excuse to erase her from the palace without a sound.
It's a little tricky.
"From today onwards, my aunt will be an orphaned personal maid." Even though he didn't believe it, Zhou Cheng also knew the truth that you can't make fools of others, so he planned to figure it out slowly, and make a decision after investigation, "I have wronged my aunt these days. Ming father's identity as emperor's aunt, father will be very happy."
Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, Xu Xiaoyue couldn't think that she still had such a good fortune, so she hurriedly nodded in agreement.
"Concubine Yue's side..."
"Naturally, the lonely nephew will share the worries over there. Auntie, please don't worry too much. By the way, I'm afraid I will wrong my aunt for a while. Don't let too many people know about my aunt and mother before my father and emperor know the identity of my aunt." relation."
"Why is this?"
The young man hid the coldness in his eyes, and patiently led Xu Xiaoyue to his thoughts, "My mother was hanged by the imperial father on the city wall, and you came to the Zhou Kingdom voluntarily, and even made insulting remarks to anger the imperial father... Don't you think it's a coincidence, aunt?"
"Coincidence?" Xu Xiaoyue didn't know why.
"Don't you feel like a younger sister who came all the way from You country to avenge her sister? Don't you feel like a traitor who can assassinate His Majesty with a knife at any time?" Jia Yanru had a vein on her forehead. Is there such a stupid woman in here?How did she survive until now without being beaten to death? Is it possible that stupid people have stupid blessings, and stupid people live the best?
Xu Xiaoyue, who was well protected by the two emperors, showed a shocked expression on her face, "Assassinate His Majesty? Me? How could I have such a rebellious idea?? I don't hate him!!"
Zhou Cheng and Jia Yanru stared at the expression on Xu Xiaoyue's face, the panic on the other's face really didn't seem to be fake.
Either she is too scheming, or she is too stupid.
How could it be the latter who was whipped by the emperor on the first day of entering the palace but was lucky enough to be sheltered by Concubine Yue to make trouble?The two almost simultaneously set the option as the former.
Zhou Cheng pretended to be relieved and said, "Of course Gu knows that my aunt is not that kind of person, but I can't help but think that others might think that way. Besides, the father was restless after his mother's death. If he heard other people's slander..."
This is the words of his own son, will the son still lie to his mother?
Following Zhou Cheng's train of thought, Xu Xiaoyue gradually discovered the horror of it - fortunately, her son reminded her, otherwise she might die again.
But she has already told the news to the seven concubines... What if they tell the emperor about it on a whim?Knowing people, knowing face but not knowing heart, she can only pin her hopes on Zhou Cheng now.
Seeing the intentional expression on Xu Xiaoyue's face, Zhou Cheng continued to pretend to be sad and said, "Auntie, don't blame Gu for being disrespectful to her adoptive mother. There is a reason for all of this."
This sentence ignited all the grievances in Xu Xiaoyue's heart. How ridiculous it is that her son fell in love with the enemy who killed his mother and planned to elope with him.
"The reason? She is your mother-killing enemy!!"
"It's not Yanru who killed me!"
Seeing that Xu Xiaoyue's tone was very excited, Zhou Cheng quickly lowered the tone of his statement, and said in a gentle and reasonable voice, "When the father and the emperor sentenced the mother, Gu was also there... Mother sneaked into the Yanru Palace in the middle of the night to steal things and was caught by the palace guards. , although it is not an expensive thing to steal, it is also my mother's fault."
"I, my sister didn't steal it! That jade pendant was originally a token of love from His Majesty to my sister."
"But this jade pendant was picked up by Yanru and naturally it belongs to Yanru. If you want to come back, why don't you tell Yanru to take it again, but you have to sneak into the palace in the middle of the night to get it?"
"It's just returning it to the original owner." Xu Xiaoyue gritted her teeth with hatred, "The woman behind you will not return it."
"Okay, okay, even so," Zhou Cheng said quietly, "According to the laws of the Zhou Kingdom, a servant who steals from the master's house must be compensated with money or punished thirty times with a rod. Those who ignored the laws of the Zhou Kingdom and ordered their mothers to be hanged on the city wall The man is my father, so why do you only hate Yanru and not father? He is the culprit who caused my mother's death."
"This, what's the difference? Your Majesty was deceived by the woman behind you to do those things. My sister, she was demoted to a servant by His Majesty because the woman behind you took the status of a lifesaver, and she was degraded by the woman behind you. It is only framed again and again that leads to death."
"Your Highness, do you know how your mother was tortured by the woman behind you at that time, Your Highness—"
"Of course Gu knows."
Zhou Cheng's voice was very cold, and he interrupted Xu Xiaoyue with a self-deprecating smile, "Gu, who has experienced it personally, knows much more than you, Auntie."
"I don't know what news my mother told you, but in fact, it is Yanru who has been suffering all the time—you know how tormented her conscience was when she had to let her mother clean the toilet, let alone let her How it hurts when mother washes her feet!"
"You don't know anything, you're just a bystander to the story, Auntie."
A big question mark slowly appeared above Xu Xiaoyue's head.
Listen, is this what people say?Why do lips in a normal temperature state say such cold words?
Sometimes negative and negative may not be positive. When two negative numbers are added together, the final number is still negative.
This truth that no one knows can be applied to the IQ calculations of Zhou Sinian, Xu Xiaoyue and Zhou Cheng.
"Huh?! She is suffering? Is she suffering?? My sister is dead. I'm afraid this bitch will set off seven or eight big firecrackers to celebrate!"
Jia Yanru was heartbroken, "How can you insult people's innocence out of thin air? It's too late for me to be sad, why would you set off seven or eight firecrackers to celebrate?"
Fireworks and firecrackers were banned in the palace, and that bitch Su Xiaoyue died, so Jia Yanru had no choice but to cook three bowls of rice with tears in the other's house, turning "sorrow and anger" into appetite.
"This is your fault, auntie. I was there at the time. Yanru never took pleasure in other people's misfortunes. She was so sad that she died."
Xu Xiaoyue is still skeptical about this.
For a moment, Xu Xiaoyue felt that there was nothing wrong with returning her son to his mother's womb to be reborn.
Zhou Cheng said to himself, "Oh, my aunt doesn't know, although my mother was a slave at that time, she was taken care of as the eldest princess of You country... If she didn't find more rough jobs for her, the palace people who slept with her would definitely be dissatisfied with her The special bullying of my mother... Yanru has good intentions, she does not hesitate to smear herself but also protects her mother, and even takes care of me after her death, how can you hate Yanru?"
"Sometimes Gu really hopes that Gu has a younger brother to share the government affairs for Gu." Zhou Cheng showed a desolate look on his face, "After my mother died, my father was devastated, and there are too many government affairs... Sigh, what's the use of talking about it If there is no support from Yanru, I am afraid that I will be overwhelmed by this government affairs..."
Speaking of this, Zhou Cheng's face was full of pitiful pleading, "Auntie, you are the only relative of the orphan family, you will support Gu and Yanru, right?"
Xu Xiaoyue's brain was buzzing when she was shocked that her son and enemy were together.
Subconsciously, she doesn't want to support her very much, but she also thinks that after her son's death, his father doesn't love him, and he doesn't have siblings as playmates, and feels that it's reasonable for his son to fall in love with his hypocritical mortal enemy.
The son is the mother's debt.
Thinking of this, Xu Xiaoyue nodded in pain.
"Thank you, auntie!" Zhou Cheng smiled joyfully, "Then auntie, go back and pack your things, and come pick you up later!"
After Xu Xiaoyue walked away, Zhou Cheng and Jia Yanru discussed how to treat Xu Xiaoyue—in short, keep the person close to him first, so as not to spread the news that the prince and concubine are together.
After the discussion, Zhou Cheng said a few words of relief to his sweetheart, and strode towards Yiyue Palace again. Naturally, Concubine Yue warmly entertained the only heir in the royal family.
"Your Highness wants to ask Bengong to ask for Xiaoyue?" Concubine Yue put down her teacup and smiled slightly, "It's not impossible, but Xiaoyue hasn't recalled Yuegong yet, and I will tell her to go with you when she comes back."
Xu Xiaoyue went ahead of him, how come she hasn't arrived at Yiyue Palace yet.
Zhou Cheng had an inexplicable premonition in his heart.
At this moment, Xiao Huangmen hurried into the palace and whispered a few words to Concubine Yue.Concubine Yue, who had always been calm in dealing with things, frowned, raised her eyes apologetically, "Your Highness, I'm afraid Xiaoyue won't be able to go back with you to be your personal maid."
"Why?"
Concubine Yue sighed, her almond eyes slightly closed, she thought for a long time before replying, "Your Majesty has favored Miss Xiaoyue."
"If there are no accidents, she will be your ninth daughter."
