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

Xie Jingchuan seemed to have never expected that Zizhu would one day grow a brain.

His eyes were full of approval.

"Okay, I get it, bring the person in!"

Zizhu obediently left the room, and before bringing Chunju in, she warned, "I'm warning you, this is the Regent's Palace, put away your wicked thoughts, otherwise, no matter who you belong to, you will never come back!"

Chunju had a blank expression on her face. She ignored Zizhu and walked straight into the room.

"Your servant greets the prince!" Chunju bowed respectfully.

Xie Jingchuan got straight to the point: "You had expected that I would look for you, so you waited here, right?"

Chunju responded calmly: "Since Your Majesty knows that I will be waiting here, why do you have to ask more questions?"

The fact was just as Zizhu guessed, Chunju had already noticed him when he was eavesdropping outside.

Zizhu couldn't help but reflect, how could Chunju discover her from such a long distance?

Is it really like what the prince said? Is this woman more powerful than me?

"Is it true that Concubine Lian forgot my mother because of her illness?" Xie Jingchuan continued to ask.

Chunju knelt on the ground and confessed, "Your Majesty, the queen did lose some of her memory due to illness, but seeing that the queen had tried her best to restore her memory for many years but was in great pain, I couldn't bear it, so I secretly gave her medicine."

When Zizhu heard this, she gasped in fear: "You are so bold, how dare you drug Concubine Lian?"

Xie Jingchuan glared at Zizhu, silencing him, and then continued to interrogate Chunju: "Why did you do this? Did Concubine Lian think of anything bad?"

Chunju responded resolutely: "I have already said that I don't want to see you suffer. If I am punished by the prince for this, Chunju will have no complaints!"

Xie Jingchuan couldn't help but frown when he saw this look of unwillingness to surrender even at the cost of death.

It seems that Chunju thought that I called her over to punish her?

Xie Jingchuan continued to ask, "When did you start giving Concubine Lian drugs?"

Chun Ju, "Nine years ago, I saw that the queen was in too much pain, so the twelfth prince was born later!"

In other words, isn't it?

Xie Yunxiao only appeared after Zhou Yanzhi forgot the pain?

Is that evidence that Xie Yunxiao has forgotten his mother Ye Jingyi?

"So it's just like what you said? Does it mean that my mother didn't die giving birth to me? Also, what was the reason why Concubine Lian jumped off the cliff?"

Although he knew the reason, Xie Jingchuan still couldn't help asking, "Tell me what you know!"

"I don't know anything about your mother. In other words, I'm afraid no one in the palace knows that the late emperor just brought you back to the palace. Can you please stop investigating in the future?"

There was sincerity in Chunju's tone. Xie Jingchuan looked at her carefully and didn't see any expression of lying.

Moreover, Chunju came up tonight to face Xie Jingchuan alone, probably because she wanted Xie Jingchuan not to disturb Zhou Yanzhi's life in the future.

"Besides, even if the prince wants to know, I don't think he can do it. The only clue left now is the fragment of the letter left by the queen before she fell off the cliff. It only says 'stay away from him...' and nothing else!"

"Stay away from who?" Xie Jingchuan asked back!

This is the same information that Zizhu just gave.

Chunju shook her head, "I really don't know. I entered the palace when Your Highness was about one year old, so I don't know anything about what happened before that! But in the first two years after I entered the palace, Concubine Lian kept dreaming about 'staying away from him...'. I guess that the prince's biological mother and Concubine Lian must have a good relationship!"

The clue ends here again?

Xie Jingchuan fell into deep thought!

Suddenly Shen Wanwan's voice rang in his ears.

[Tongtong, you said it would be nice if there were subtitles so that we can tell at a glance whether it’s a boy or a girl! ]

The system then said, "I think that since the regent is a prince, he is of royal blood, so... and how many people know the identity of the prince's mother? I guess it's probably someone in the palace who knows that the emperor has someone outside? Are you eager to silence them?"

Shen Wanwan: [It's a pity that you don't become an editor! ]

System: [Host, let's bet a bag of spicy noodles. I think it's either the queen or the queen mother! ]

Xie Jingchuan took a long time to react, and looked around stealthily, trying to find out where Shen Wanwan was hiding and eavesdropping!

What a fate!

When he turned around, he saw Shen Wanwan lying right under the floor tile where Chunju was kneeling.

It seemed to be exactly the place where Shen Wanwan had dug the tunnel before!

...

Xie Jingchuan pretended to be nothing and said to Chunju in a serious tone, "What I talked about with you tonight must be kept secret. Do not mention it to Concubine Lian."

Afterwards, he quickly ordered Zizhu to send Chunju back to the palace and told him to rest on his own and not to come again.

Although there was still snow on Zizhu, she did not feel the cold.

But I always felt that Xie Jingchuan was eager to get them away.

After the two left,

Xie Jingchuan stood up and walked towards the suspicious floor tile.

Just lift it gently.

He suddenly met Shen Wanwan face to face. The latter was obviously distracted and her expression froze instantly when she was discovered.

Shen Wanwan screamed in her heart, [Oh no, we've been caught red-handed! ]

The system couldn't help but tease: [Host, I told you to curb your curiosity, but you insisted on crawling over from the dungeon to eavesdrop. If it were me, I'd probably have to dig out a villa with my toes to cover up the embarrassment!]

Shen Wanwan responded: [A villa is not enough, it has to be at least a castle level! ]

Xie Jingchuan suppressed his smile and looked at Shen Wanwan seriously: "Are you planning to go out from the main gate, or return the same way?"

Then he joked: "If you think this is not appropriate, I can help you cover the floor tiles again."

System interruption: [Host, this regent is quite humorous and knows how to take care of people! ]

Xie Jingchuan pretended to cover the floor tiles, but Shen Wanwan quickly stopped him: "I'll come out by myself, I'll go through the front door!"

The embarrassing thing was that she had just been sneaking through the tunnel, but now she had to leave openly.

Xie Jingchuan kindly helped her and pulled Shen Wanwan out of the tunnel.

Shen Wanwan restored the floor tiles obediently, while Xie Jingchuan sat quietly beside her drinking tea.

Shen Wanwan was a little confused by the sudden silence, and stammered, "Um, Your Majesty, I, I have an explanation, do you want to hear it?"

Xie Jingchuan put down the teacup and did not respond.

Shen Wanwan understood immediately and offered to refill his tea, but Xie Jingchuan remained calm.

Shen Wanwan had to change her strategy and went around behind him to give him a massage.

Xie Jingchuan was amused, and then he spoke: "Since Wanwan has already made an excuse, I am all ears. But before that, you have to tell me how this tunnel appeared in my room?"

Xie Jingchuan actually knew about the existence of the tunnel a long time ago. Last time, Shen Wanwan crawled out of the tunnel in front of him, but he pretended to be unaware.

However, this time, he could no longer ignore this problem.
