"Your son pays his respects to Empress Hui. May Empress Hui be blessed with good health."
"this......"
"Your Majesty, you are pregnant. I should go out and see if I can send him away. In my opinion, the Second Prince came again today. I think he is here because you are in charge of the six palaces now. He wants to ask you to go to the cold palace to see Li Shuren. Although Shufei assists your Majesty, she is still his adoptive mother. He probably feels embarrassed."
Nanny Xu came out of the cold palace with Shen Nian'an. Over the years, the relationship between master and servant has always been deep. She ignored Shen Nian'an and ran out on her own.
Zhou Zeyu knelt straight on the ground, his eyes as dark as a cold pond staring inside, at Shen Nian'an's belly.
I heard from the palace servants that this extremely favored empress was pregnant again, while his mother was in the cold palace without seeing the light of day. Zhou Zeyu was filled with hatred in his heart.
"Your servant greets the Second Prince. Second Prince, the Empress is pregnant and cannot see you. If you have nothing else to do, please go back. It's getting late, and there's no reason to make the Empress anxious again."
After Aunt Xu finished her greetings, she was about to help Zhou Zeyu up, but Zhou Zeyu refused to get up. He made excuses and shouted loudly inside.
"No, Empress Hui, you are also a mother, and now you are pregnant. Empress Hui, you must know that it is the most tragic for me to leave my mother at my age. But I know that it was Li Shuren in the cold palace who made the mistake first, and that is why my father locked her up in the cold palace. I do not ask for anything else, I only ask Empress Hui to let me see Li Shuren. I will give her something and then leave, okay? Please, Empress Hui."
Zhou Zeyu spoke sincerely, with hope in his voice. Although she and Li Shuren had not gotten along over the years, Nuannuan and the two children were getting along very well.
In the past, before the Li family fell, Zhou Zeyu and Zhou Zeen came to her place to play with Nuannuan, calling her "sister" all the time.
Children are always innocent, and they are not time travelers. How can a child have so many thoughts? How can there be so many child prodigies in this world? Thinking of this, Shen Nian'an's worries were relieved a lot.
She raised her hand, and a palace maid came forward to support her. When Shen Nian'an came out, Zhou Zeyu was still kneeling at the bottom of the steps, his body straight.
His fair and tender little face was full of stubbornness, and he looked like he would never give up until he achieved his goal. Once upon a time, this kid had a cold shadow about him.
Pregnant women are extremely sensitive. Nuannuan and Hanhan are gone, and Zhou Beichen has been gone for several days. Shen Nian'an misses him terribly, and now seeing that little face, she feels a place to put her longing.
Shen Nian’an’s tone couldn’t help but soften.
"Madame Xu, help the Second Prince up."
Before Aunt Xu's hand reached Zhou Zeyu, the latter shook his head frantically, and then kowtowed several times.
"Empress Hui, I cannot bear it. I beg you, as long as you allow me to see Lady Li, I will obey you in everything. I haven't seen her for several months. I miss her. I wonder if my mother is doing well in the cold palace these days."
Zhou Zeyu was moved by every word he said. He had a purpose for coming here today. First, he really wanted to see his mother and tell her to be patient. He would pick her up as soon as possible. Second, he wanted to tell his mother not to be sad. They did not lose. As long as they could win the favor of their father, he would have the hope of sending Shen Nian'an and others to hell. Third, he had already made up his mind.
Tears trembled gently on his eyelashes. As Zhou Zeyu spoke, he actually sobbed silently, as if Shen Nian'an had wronged him so much.
Shen Nian'an never wanted to involve children in adult affairs, not to mention that Zhou Zeyu was now Concubine Shu's child and belonged to her.
"Empress Hui, Sister Nuannuan and Brother Hanhan have been away for so long, you must miss them very much, and they must miss you too. Yu'er is the same, and Yu'er misses his mother too. Please have mercy on me, Empress Hui."
Silent tears fell to the ground again, which moved Shen Nian'an a little. She walked down. Nanny Xu hurried to meet people, waved her hand to order the palace maid to leave, and helped Shen Nian'an up, reminding her in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, this year is a turbulent time. Even if the Second Prince misses his mother, the Emperor has said that from now on, his biological mother is Consort Shu. If you let him go to the cold palace like this, it would be disastrous if the Emperor returns to the palace. The Emperor has expressly forbidden this. No one is allowed to enter or leave the cold palace without his order."
Nanny Xu meant that Shen Nian'an had been immersed in the palace for a long time, so there was nothing she didn't understand. The two of them walked to Zhou Zeyu's side, and Shen Nian'an had a slight smile on her face, intending to reason with him.
She reached out and pulled up Zhou Zeyu, who was crying uncomfortably, and spoke earnestly.
"Yu'er is no longer a child this year. He is a big boy. Did your father tell you that Li Shuren has been sent to the cold palace and from now on, you have nothing to do with her."
Zhou Zeyu was slightly stunned and nodded.
Still able to understand what was said, Shen Nian'an breathed a sigh of relief, gently wiped Zhou Zeyu's face with a handkerchief, and continued.
"Although Empress Hui is in charge of the six palaces according to your father's orders, it doesn't mean that Empress Hui can let you go to the cold palace to see Li Shuren. Xiao Yu'er, I think you should just give up this idea. Now, your biological mother is Consort Shu, so don't ask Empress Hui for such nonsense in the future. Empress Hui can't let you go to the cold palace to see Li Shuren."
Shen Nian'an has that power, but she just doesn't want to use it now. Zhou Zeyu is still young anyway, so if she wants to break up, she has to do it cleanly. Maybe when he grows up, he will forget about Li Shuren completely.
Shen Nian'an knew very well that once this happened, there would be a second and third time. In this case, how could Concubine Shu feel at ease? Zhou Zeyu could not forget who his biological mother was.
Shen Nian'an tapped Zhou Zeyu's red nose and comforted him.
"So, you can either stay with Empress Hui for a while, or go back to Chonghua Palace and talk to Concubine Shu and En'er. You will feel better soon."
Shen Nian'an spoke in a voice as gentle as the spring breeze, and Zhou Zeyu's eyes were red after hearing it. No, he must achieve this goal today. If he waits for his father to come back, everything will be in vain.
He could only take the next step after seeing his mother and making sure she was safe. He wanted to give his mother strength. They parted hurriedly that day and didn't say a few words to each other.
As soon as his father comes back, he will definitely not be able to go to the cold palace.
Thinking of this, a hint of viciousness flashed in the little Zhou Zeyu's eyes. He stood up, took out a dagger from his sleeve, and put it against his neck.
Screaming at the top of his lungs.
