The legitimate daughter is reborn and cannot escape after being provoked by the tyrant

Concubine Shun turned pale after hearing Cuiping's words.

Cuiping didn't know which words frightened Concubine Shun, and she was a little worried: "Empress, what's wrong with you?"

Zhou Ruo raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, murmuring: "Why didn't I think of it earlier..."

She walked around the room a few times anxiously, then grabbed Cuiping's arm: "I want to see my cousin."

Cuiping looked a little embarrassed and said softly: "Mr. Zhou has been avoiding us since the incident with Mrs. Zhou last time. I'm afraid I won't be able to see him."

Zhou Ruo gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "If he doesn't want to come to see me, then I will go see him in person."

Cuiping looked at her: "Mother, what happened?"

"Don't worry, don't hurt the baby in your belly."

This child is their greatest protection.

As soon as he mentioned the child, Zhou Ruo suddenly raised his hand and placed it on his abdomen, thinking that he had interacted with that woman twice. The first time they met, she mentioned the child in her belly, and this time she asked Cuiping to give her a message. What a beautiful baby in her belly... Zhou Ruo couldn't help but wonder, what on earth did she mean?

Does she know something? Or is it because she doesn't know that she has other plans when she mentions her child again and again?

No matter what it is, it's not a good thing for Zhou Ruo.

After much deliberation, Zhou Ruo still couldn't let go. She had to see Zhou Chen.

She was uneasy all night. On the second day, with dark circles under her eyes, she went outside the court to wait early, standing on the only way for ministers to leave the palace.

As long as Zhou Chen comes to court, he will definitely take this path.

After waiting and waiting for a long time, Zhou Ruo finally saw ministers coming out of the court one after another. She hid behind the shadow of the tree and watched from a distance. When she saw Zhou Chen's figure, she quickly winked at Cuiping.

Cuiping stepped forward to stop Zhou Chen, lowered her head and said something to him. Zhou Chen shook his head at first, and then glanced in the direction of Zhou Ruo, frowning tightly, but even though he was reluctant, he still walked over.

When Zhou Chen saw the person, he said politely: "See Concubine Shun."

Zhou Ruo pursed his lips and said softly: "Cousin, why are you so separated from me?"

Zhou Chen said, "Wei Chen cannot be called my cousin, so please don't embarrass Wei Chen."

Zhou Ruo's eyes were a little red, and she said aggrievedly: "I don't know about the Zhou family's affairs. If I knew, how could I let her do such mischief? I am also a victim in this matter."

But now, Zhou Chen has alienated her because of this incident.

This was one of the few people who was kind to her, and she truly regarded Zhou Chen as a relative.

Zhou Chen sighed, and his attitude softened a little: "Mother, do you have something to ask?"

Zhou Ruo wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, looked up at Zhou Chen, and said softly: "There is something very important that I want to ask my cousin."

"My cousin often goes in and out of Yinghua Hall, but have he ever seen a woman? This woman's identity is unknown, but she seems to be very important to His Majesty. Everyone in Yinghua Hall also listens to her. Not only that, even the little prince also treats her. They are quite close. Cousin, do you know where this woman came from? "

As soon as Zhou Ruo opened her mouth, Zhou Chen knew who she was asking.

Who else could it be besides Lu Jiuqing?

Zhou Chen did not answer her words, but frowned and asked, "What did you ask her for?"

Zhou Ruo smiled bitterly: "To be honest, I bumped into her in the garden a few days ago. There were other concubines around me at the time. They were all talkative, so I might have had some misunderstandings with her."
