June was a hot season, and the inner hall was not well ventilated. Zhou Yiliu subconsciously picked up a handkerchief and wiped his forehead. He looked very hot, but his face was not flushed, but pale.

"My father used to only know that my mother left a token for me, but he didn't know about the little golden doll. My grandmother and grandfather in Zhangjiacun didn't know about it, otherwise, they would have taken the little golden doll away and exchanged it for money..."

When Yi Nian talked about the hardships he experienced in Zhangjiacun, his tone was calm and understated, but for such a young child, it was really sad to see him.

Er Nian was very cooperative and even added words of jealousy by saying how weak the Liu family was to them and how Zhang Xun turned a blind eye to their suffering...

Yi Nian glanced at Er Nian and suddenly looked at Zhou Yiliu.

"My aunt knows about the golden doll. The first time I went to the eldest princess's house to play, my aunt asked me about it."

The sweat on Zhou Yiliu's back was almost overflowing.

Fortunately, she was originally Zhao Zhen who was deceived as Zhou Yimian.

But for some reason, facing Yi Nian's clear and innocent eyes, she couldn't make the expression that a mother should make at this time.

If you are not that person, you don’t have that heart. No matter how much you pretend, there will be flaws...

Zhou Yiliu's embarrassment almost radiated from her bones. She lowered her head in panic, twisted the handkerchief with her fingers, and responded vaguely.

"At that time, aunt just wanted to confirm something with you."

"Oh." Yi Nian did not ask any further questions, and just said: "Has aunt confirmed it now?"

Zhou Yiliu had to raise his head, the smile on his face was slightly stiff, "It's confirmed. It's confirmed, you are all my...nephews."

"What about the third sister? Isn't she?"

The embarrassment that surged in Zhou Yiliu's heart made her eyes sharp, but her face was calm and gentle.

"Of course. But San Nian is a girl, so she can't show her face like you and Er Nian. First Nian, what happened? Or are you angry with your aunt?"

With a thought, he bowed his head and handed over his hands, "My nephew is young and ignorant. He is thinking about his mother's relics, so he asked a few more questions and asked my aunt to forgive me."

Children can take things easy, and of course Zhou Yiliu is even more so. The two of them soon returned to their normal appearance.

Zhao Zhen asked carefully about the little golden doll in a normal manner, and he answered calmly without any fear on his face. That calm look pleased Zhao Zhen very much.

But Zhao Zhen did not return the golden doll. Instead, he promised to send people to look for it, and went through it as if coaxing a child.

He didn't say much at all, just kowtowed and thanked him, and then waited on one side politely. He didn't have the stubbornness of a child. However, he couldn't sit still for a second time. His buttocks kept moving as if he had a boil.

Come and move.

Normally, Young Master Zhao Zhen would not have to say a few words to him, but today he was in a bad mood, so he only lightly frowned and then relieved Zhou Yiliu of his restraint.

"I have thought about it behind closed doors for so long. My wife must have known she regrets it. I will give up on the grounding."

Happiness came so suddenly. Zhou Yiliu didn't have time to say the words he had planned to persuade the officials. He was startled when he heard the words and hurriedly stepped forward to thank him.

Zhao Zhen: "From now on, all the palaces will gather in the Imperial Palace day and night to mourn and mourn for the noble concubine. You will also go with us."

Zhou Yiliu was stunned for a moment, his head was buzzing, and his eyesight turned black.

If I hadn't been holding my belly, I would have fallen down on the spot.

What do you mean by undoing her grounding? Letting her mourn and mourn for Zhang Xueyi is a disguised form of punishment.

If she had known this, she might as well have been banned from the palace.

This is really shooting oneself in the foot.

"Guan family, I have a lot of trouble with my stomach..."

"That's it." Zhao Zhen patted his knees, interrupted Zhou Yiliu and stood up, "I still have something to do, so I'll take the first step. If you really want to repent, you should mourn for the imperial concubine and ask for forgiveness."

In Huining Palace, the evidence that she poisoned Zhang Xueyi was conclusive.

Zhao Zhen gave her a meaningful look, touched the heads of Yi Nian and Er Nian, and did not give Zhou Yiliu a chance to complain.

"Let's drive."

Everyone in Xiangluan Pavilion respectfully saw him off at the palace gate.

Zhao Zhen was dressed in plain clothes and sat on the chariot without looking back.

"Alas!" Zhou Yiliu sighed faintly and smiled bitterly: "I think I have a big belly and have to go to the Imperial Palace to mourn for the imperial concubine, kowtow and cry. The official's love for the imperial concubine is really enviable."

She complained in front of Zhao Yuqing in the hope that Zhao Yuqing could not stand it and would go to Zhao Zhen to argue with her.

However, Zhao Yuqing had not said a word since Zhao Zhen mentioned it just now. Now it seems that he didn't hear it and smiled slightly.

"I also got the news. The palace is full of people, and thousands of people are crying. They will be crying for a month."

"One month?" Zhou Yiliu looked frightened, stroking his belly with his palms, staring at Zhao Yuqing sadly, and smiled miserably.

"The officials are really willing to give up. No matter how humble I am, I still have the emperor's heir in my belly..."

Zhao Yuqing remained calm, "Then what are you worrying about? Officials still have a sense of proportion when doing things. Even if they don't think about you, they won't think about the emperor's heir..."

Before her voice fell, she turned her head, looked at Yi Nian and Er Nian, and said with a smile: "Do you have anything else to say to your aunt? If not, we will leave the palace."

Zhou Yiliu panicked.

The eldest princess is not feeling well today.

Even if he didn't help her, he didn't even try to persuade Zhao Zhen properly.

"Your Highness, is this the matter of the imperial concubine's arrogance at her funeral?"

Zhao Yuqing's voice was calm, "The official's mind has been decided, what can I say? Besides, Cao Shengren didn't stop it. I am the official's sister, and I have no position to persuade."

Zhou Yiliu showed another smile.

"Your Highness is right. I'm a humble person, so I can't even talk. Then..."

She gently stroked Yi Nian's shoulder, smiled softly and said, "Let the two children stay in the palace for a few days."

As long as the child is in Xiangluan Pavilion, she will have a reason to come to the official family. As long as the official family comes, she will have a way to make Zhang Xueyi's funeral a joke...

Just imagine, if during the funeral of a noble concubine, the official family stayed in her room, then who would be the most important person in the official family's heart in the future?

When Zhao Yuqing brought the children into the palace, she originally asked the girl to prepare a change of clothes for them, intending to let the two children stay for a few days. No one expected that she would suddenly change her tune.

"No."

Her tone was calm but stubborn.

"Both boys still have homework to do. My husband is very strict with me. If I'm delayed for two days, I'm going to get into trouble."

Zhou Yiliu finally understood what was wrong with Zhao Yuqing.

Avoiding her sight, even disgusting her...

And all these changes happened after Yi Nian said those words.

"Your Highness..."

Zhou Yiliu is familiar with the temperament and temper of the eldest princess. She is soft-hearted and kind, and cannot say harsh words or refuse people. Zhou Yiliu knows how to be humble and petty to please the eldest princess and make her change her mind.

For a moment, Zhou Yiliu's eyes were filled with tears, and she spoke carelessly but sincerely.

"Did your servant do something wrong to make His Highness displeased? Your Highness can scold you as much as you like, but don't make yourself angry. I know that Your Highness is kind-hearted and wholeheartedly plans for you.

I want my maid to live a good life for a few days, but she doesn’t live up to expectations..."

"Ha!" Zhao Yuqing gave a rare mocking smile, still the girl she trusted the most.

"Ms. Zhou has many means, why do you need me to plan for you?"

Zhou Yiliu's heart trembled, and he was stunned on the spot in confusion, "Your Highness?"

"I would rather not recognize you." Zhao Yuqing shook her head sadly, staring at Zhou Yiliu.

"I originally thought that it was Ajiu who brought you into the palace and wanted to do nothing for you, so I felt extremely guilty for this. I knew you had done something to poison the imperial concubine, but I also made excuses for you in my heart..."

"Unexpectedly, you have long wanted to fly up a branch and become a phoenix. No wonder you had frequent contacts with Zhang Xun when you came back from Yuezhou. Once Mrs. Qian heard what you said to Zhang Xun about the golden doll in Zhang Xun.

As for my wife, at that time, I was still trying to excuse you, saying that you don’t look at the face of a monk or the face of a Buddha. You can’t do anything with Zhang Xun for the sake of your three children. You have your own difficulties. Now it seems that it’s me who

Too kind..."

Zhou Yiliu's head felt dizzy after hearing this.

"Your Highness is suspicious. Did I tell Zhang Xun about the golden doll?"

Zhao Yuqing took into account that her children were by her side, and originally wanted to save some dignity for each other, but seeing Zhou Yiliu's aggrieved look, she felt a sense of disgust for no reason.

"Isn't it? Zhang Xun doesn't know what the golden doll is, but you know it. Does that mean that you already knew that the biological father of your sister's child was a current official? You kept silent and watched your biological sister jump.

Into the pit of fire, being made irresponsible remarks, isn't it you?

Are you jealous that your sister has won the favor of the official? You said that your sister is in the world and you are not ashamed of it, but you turned around and occupied the magpie's nest and entered the palace on her behalf. Your sister worked hard to give birth to a child, and you enjoy the glory for her.

Aren't you feeling guilty if you refuse to treat her children well despite being rich?"

Zhou Yiliu burst into tears and hissed: "Your Highness, I can't believe what the child says..."

Zhao Yuqing clenched Yi Nian's cold little hand and gritted her teeth: "How could such a big child lie? I didn't expect that now that things have happened, you refuse to admit your mistake and want to blame it on the child!"

Zhou Yiliu had never seen Zhao Yuqing speak in such a dignified and sharp tone, with a panicked look on his face.

"I don't, Your Highness, I don't know anything about those things. I originally wanted to serve the prince and stay with His Highness all the time, but the prince doesn't like maids..."
