The abandoned concubine is charming and charming, and the sickly prince breaks his waist

Chu Hengzhi nodded, looked in the direction Hua Shu left and was about to say something.

Mo Qing took off the mask on his face and recounted what he had just seen Chu Yunxiao and Hua Shu doing together.

"Your Highness, I suspect that this noble lady Rou is the Third Prince's man."

Chu Yunxiao?

Chu Hengzhi frowned. Why would he come to see Hua Shu? Could it be that they really have some relationship?

But hasn't Hua Huaiyuan been secretly supporting the prince all along, or has he made two preparations, secretly supporting the prince on the one hand and secretly trying to please Chu Yunxiao on the other?

Thinking of Hua Shu's current attitude towards Hua Huaiyuan, Chu Hengzhi couldn't help but wonder, maybe she knew that Hua Huaiyuan was not her father, so she wanted to overthrow the prince through Chu Yunxiao.

Thinking of this, his face darkened. If this was true, wouldn't he become a chess piece in Hua Shu's hands?

It won't be long before he becomes an abandoned child...

Seeing that his face looked a little ugly, Mo Qing couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, are you okay?"

Chu Hengzhi shook his head and asked in a deep voice: "Did you hear what they said?"

Mo Qing shook his head: "The Third Prince is quite skilled in martial arts, and I was afraid that if I got too close, he would find me, so I didn't hear clearly what they said, but I saw that they both had smiles on their faces when they talked."

laugh?

Chu Hengzhi frowned and thought about it. Except for the time he met Hua Jingxuan, Hua Shu always had a smile on her face every time he saw her.

He even suspected that Hua Shu would have a smile on her face even if she saw the murderer of her father.

Seeing that his master was silent, Mo Qing couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, why did you ask me to tell her this? Don't you want her to help you detoxify?"

Chu Hengzhi collected his thoughts and said in a deep voice: "I just want to give her a chance. If she gives up on her own, she can't blame me in the future."

Mo Qing looked puzzled, but Chu Hengzhi had no intention of explaining it to him. He said, "Just in case, you should check it out to see if there is any connection between them."

Mo Qing responded, "Yes, I will check it out as soon as I leave the palace."

Chu Hengzhi nodded, glanced in the direction Hua Shu left, then turned around and left with Mo Qing.

……

Here, Caiyue saw Hua Shu coming back and hurried over to check: "Master, you are back."

Seeing the genuine concern on her face, Hua Shu subconsciously held her hand and said, "I'm fine, don't worry."

When Caiyue heard her words, her eyes became moist for some reason.

Hua Shu sighed softly in her heart, looked away and said, "We have nothing to do, let's go see the imperial concubine."

Caiyue and Rendong responded and went to Zhaoyang Palace with her.

There was no conversation along the way, and they soon arrived at the gate of Zhaoyang Palace.

When Nanny Wang saw that it was Hua Shu who came, she took her in without informing anyone.

Hua Shu's brows wrinkled slightly. After spending some time together, she discovered that not only Concubine Fu, but even Nanny Wang had a strange attitude towards her.

With doubts, she followed Nanny Wang into Zhaoyang Palace. As soon as she entered, she saw Concubine Fu sitting on the chaise longue, staring at something in her hand in a daze.

Nanny Wang walked up to her and said, "Madam, Concubine Rou is here."

Concubine Fu retracted her gaze, turned around and looked at Hua Shu, with a gentle smile on her face: "Come and sit down."

Hua Shu was about to salute when she was stunned for a moment. Before she could react, Nanny Wang came forward and helped her sit on the chaise longue.

Hua Shu looked at Concubine Fu in confusion: "Your Majesty, this is against the rules."

Concubine Fu smiled at her and said, "You don't have to follow these rules here."

Hua Shu was even more confused. What did Concubine Fu mean by this?

Before she could figure it out, Nanny Wang came over with snacks and tea.

"Lady Rou, please try this snack."

Hua Shu glanced at Concubine Fu who was looking at her with a gentle smile, and somehow picked up a piece of dessert and took a bite.

The moment the snack entered her mouth, Hua Shu was stunned. After she came to her senses, she put down the snack in her hand and looked at Concubine Fu with a serious expression.

"Your Highness, I have something to say to you."

Concubine Fu nodded in agreement, then asked Nanny Wang to take the servants away, including Caiyue and Rendong.

After the door was closed, Hua Shu and Concubine Fu were the only ones left in the room.

Concubine Fu looked at her gently and said, "Ask whatever you want to ask."

Hua Shu sorted out her thoughts and asked, "My Lady, you said I look like an old friend of yours. Can I ask who this old friend is to you?"

In fact, she wanted to ask whether Concubine Fu knew her biological father. After all, she was not Hua Huaiyuan's daughter, and Concubine Fu's old friend naturally could not be Hua Huaiyuan.

But that was too direct a question, so she tried another approach.

After hearing her question, Concubine Fu's eyes flashed with sadness. She was silent for a moment and said, "He is someone I owe."

Someone you owe?

Hua Shu frowned and asked, "What does the queen owe him?"

Concubine Fu was silent again. Hua Shu knew she wouldn't say anything, so she simply changed the question.

"Is this old man my father, Madam?"

Concubine Fu shook her head, her voice a little colder: "No, he is not your father."

Hua Shu was caught off guard by her sudden change. Was she saying that her old friend was not her father, or something else?

Concubine Fu also realized that her tone was a little wrong. She coughed lightly and said, "I didn't scare you, did I?"

Hua Shu shook her head and asked again: "Is the old friend of the Empress my mother?"

The expression on Concubine Fu's face changed again. She stared at Hua Shu for a long time and asked, "Have you seen your mother?"

Hua Shu was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "I saw her when I was a child, but when I was eight years old, she made some mistake and was sent to a nunnery by my father. I haven't seen her since then."

In fact, Hua Shu had no memory of this mother. She only knew that she was the legitimate daughter of the Xiao family, and she didn't know why she was willing to be Hua Huaiyuan's concubine.

And just after she entered the Hua family and gave birth to her and Axuan, the Xiao family was suddenly wiped out, leaving only the eldest son Xiao Juzhu missing.

Ever since she was old enough to understand, she remembered that her cousin had always been hidden in her mother's house as the son of a servant.

Since her mother was sent to a nunnery when she was eight years old, her cousin Xiao Juzhu has also disappeared.

At that time, Axuan was also taken away by Hua Huaiyuan, and she herself was sent to a brothel to learn how to seduce men.

Therefore, she did not have a very deep memory of her mother, perhaps because her mother had always ignored her and Axuan during those eight years.

After hearing her words, Concubine Fu showed a trace of sneer on her face: "Being sent to a nunnery for making a mistake? I think she wants to get away with it and remarry Hua Huaiyuan with a different identity. For someone like her, it would be God's fault if he didn't take her away."

When Hua Shu heard her say this, a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes, even though her mother had never taken care of them.

But no matter what, she is still their mother, and she cannot tolerate anyone saying anything bad about her.

"My dear, I don't know what happened between you, but she is my mother, and I don't want to hear bad words about her from others."

When Concubine Fu heard her words, her expression turned a little grim. She looked at Hua Shu and said seriously, "Do you know that she is..."
