The Regent secretly read the diary, and I went from being a cannon fodder to being the group's

The system said helplessly: [I tried it, and the original mother does have information, but... it's really weird! ]

Now it was Shen Wanwan's turn to emo. She looked at the bracelet on her hand. [What does the information say? ]

System: [Lin Lan, a maid bought by Minister Shen, has a daughter, Shen Wanwan! ]

Shen Wanwan was stunned [Just like that... it's gone? ]

Although she had imagined that the original owner's mother might have been a maid, there was little information about her.

But I didn't expect it to be so scarce.

When Shen Wanwan touched the bracelet, Xie Jingchuan saw her actions from the side.

Looking at the jade bracelet in Shen Wanwan's hand, Xie Jingchuan thought the material seemed to have an extraordinary origin.

However, compared to Shen Wanwan, Xie Jingchuan is more interested in his mother!

How come I can’t find anyone?

Both of them have their own evil intentions.

No one spoke during the whole journey in the car.

A dead silence!

After returning home, the two said goodbye to each other.

They each returned to their own courtyard.

Xie Jingchuan returned to the courtyard and immediately found Zizhu and gave her some instructions.

Zizhu braved the heavy snow and left the palace.

The snow is getting heavier and heavier.

It quickly became dark.

It's snowing heavily.

-

In the palace.

Zhou Yanzhi's bedroom is just like her personality.

Quiet and deserted.

Only in the bedroom could be heard the sound of a woman sobbing.

But it was buried in the snowy night.

The candlelight in the house was dim.

Three figures were reflected on the windowsill.

One cries, the other comforts.

"Master, don't be sad, it's not your fault!"

After Chunju finished speaking, she took a handkerchief and wiped Zhou Yanzhi's tears.

Zhou Yanzhi shook her head with tears in her eyes, grief-stricken. "How could you not blame me? Now I can't even remember what my sister looks like. I can't even remember a single thing we experienced together. You know, when the Regent asked me these questions today, my mind went blank and I felt extremely painful!"

Chunju gently comforted her, "My lady, it has been more than ten years. It is understandable that you can't remember it clearly. Don't blame yourself too much."

But these words were like a sharp sword that pierced Zhou Yanzhi's heart.

"It's been less than 20 years, but I can't remember anything. I can remember even my childhood clearly, so why have I forgotten everything about my sister?"

As she spoke, she slapped her forehead hard, blaming herself.

Chunju felt distressed when she saw this and advised, "Madam, please don't be like this. This is really not your fault. You forgot about Madam Ye Jingyi not because of your subjective will, but because... you are sick."

"Am I sick?" Zhou Yanzhi looked confused.

Chunju's eyes were red as she carefully moved an old wooden box out from under the bed, tears welling up in her eyes.

"My lady, take a look at what's inside this box and you'll understand everything!"

-

"What secrets are hidden in the box?"

Xie Jingchuan's cold and urgent voice echoed in the empty hall.

Zizhu had just hurried back from Zhou Yanzhi's palace, and the snowflakes on her body had not yet been shaken off.

He is the third shadow.

"Yes... these are some words written by Imperial Concubine Lian. I didn't dare to get too close, so I could only read some of them, like 'stay away from him...' 'revenge...' and so on. According to the conversation between the two afterwards, Imperial Concubine Lian should have written these words when she was extremely angry. After she finished writing, she jumped off the cliff."

Yes, Zhou Yanzhi jumped off a cliff once when Xie Jingchuan was a child.

Then something went wrong with my brain.

Some memories are missing.

But why the anger?

After so many years, Xie Jingchuan's investigation may be related to his mother's death.

The strange thing is that after my mother died, it was as if someone in this world deliberately erased everything about her.

But Xie Jingchuan was an accident.

"So... my mother didn't die giving birth to me?"

There was a barely perceptible choke in Xie Jingchuan's tone.

Ever since he could remember, the memory in his mind was that Zhou Yanzhi was not his mother.

Afterwards, he boldly asked Zhou Yanzhi, and Zhou Yanzhi answered truthfully.

But when he thought about it more deeply, Zhou Yanzhi remembered nothing.

To the other people in the palace, it was as if they had never seen their mother before.

Zizhu reported: "The maid said that Concubine Lian lost her memory because of illness."

Fortunately, Zhou Yanzhi was blocked by a big tree after jumping off the cliff and survived, but he also left serious sequelae.

This explanation seems reasonable, but Xie Jingchuan is not satisfied with the answer.

"Sick?" He fell into deep thought.

If he was really sick, then why couldn't even Shen Wanwan's system detect it?

It was as if his mother had never existed in this world.

Xie Jingchuan suddenly remembered something and asked with concern: "Your actions were not discovered by anyone, right?"

Zizhu assured, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Ever since you reminded me to be careful of Chunju, I have been keeping my distance and it is absolutely safe."

As one of the most skilled secret guards around Xie Jingchuan, Zizhu is quite confident in his own strength.

He thought that although Chen Yan was smarter, he was no match for him in terms of martial arts.

However, Xie Jingchuan made a surprising statement: "You have to be careful, Chunju's martial arts may be better than yours."

Zizhu was shocked when she heard this: "Her martial arts is better than mine? Your Majesty, are you kidding me?"

Although Xie Jingchuan had told him that Chunju had martial arts skills,

But he found it hard to believe that a palace maid could surpass him.

He even vaguely felt that Xie Jingchuan was questioning his ability.

Looking at Zizhu's reaction, Xie Jingchuan became even more doubtful.

He thought for a while and decided to give the order: "Go to Concubine Lian's palace again and bring Chunju to see me."

Zizhu was full of suspicion: "Didn't the prince say that her martial arts skills were better than mine? How could I possibly bring her here?"

Xie Jingchuan responded calmly: "Why don't you try it and find out?"

What if it really doesn’t work?

Zizhu feels sad!

But Zizhu didn't dare to say anything and could only do it!

He braved the heavy snow and went to Concubine Lian's palace again.

When Zizhu walked to the door of the bedroom, she suddenly saw a figure standing in front of her.

He had intended to enter quietly.

Who would have thought that as soon as he entered the palace and before he approached Concubine Lian's bed,

A female voice came from behind.

"Are you the guard of the Regent?"

This sound...

Zizhu's heart tightened.

"Are you Chunju?" Even if he was not very smart, he knew that it was useless to play dumb at this moment.

Chunju asked him, "Why did you come to see the queen so late at night?"

Zizhu said bluntly: "The prince wants to see you!"

I thought it would take some time to talk, but Chunju just gave a few instructions to the palace maid who was on night watch.

He followed Zizhu without asking any questions.

The two didn't say a word along the way.

Zizhu brought Chunju back to the palace, but she always felt uneasy.

He went into Xie Jingchuan's yard first, reported what had happened in detail, and expressed his concerns.

"Your Majesty, I think this matter is by no means simple. Please be careful in handling it later."
