Cheng Yue cried for a while, and when Zisu and Fuling were worried that she was too tired to stand up, she wiped her tears.
She stood up, opened the wine jar, and poured the wine around the cemetery.
Zi Su and Fu Ling breathed a sigh of relief. The lady has always been a strong woman.
Cheng Yue sat on the ground again, with her back to Zisu and Fuling, but she sat upright, so Zisu and Fuling didn't think much about it.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Yue took out a dagger from the basket.
"landscape,……"
"Auntie Ayue, what are you doing!"
Cheng Yue was holding a dagger and was about to speak out his thoughts when he was interrupted by a familiar voice and the dagger fell from his hand.
When Zi Su and Fu Ling saw a man in black suddenly appear, they hurried over.
When he ran in and saw that it was Mingzhu, he slowed down.
"You guys go over there, I have something to say to Aunt Ayue!"
Mingzhu frowned and looked at Zisu and Fuling who were coming over.
But Zisu and Fuling were Cheng Yue's maids, and it was impossible for them to listen to Mingzhu, so they still came to Cheng Yue's side.
"Go wait for me over there!"
Cheng Yue came back to his senses, calmed down, and said.
"Yes, ma'am!"
Zi Su and Fu Ling retreated, but they did not return to their previous positions. Instead, they retreated to a place not far away.
"Why are you here?"
Cheng Yue looked at Mingzhu and asked.
Her voice sounded a little strange, unlike when Mingzhu lived in the Cheng family.
"I'm sorry, Aunt Ayue, Mingzhu failed to protect Uncle Shanshui! However, Uncle Shanshui didn't encounter any accidents."
Mingzhu knelt down directly.
"What! What did you say!"
Cheng Yue excitedly grabbed Mingzhu's shoulders.
"Auntie Yue, don't get excited. Sit down and listen to me!"
Mingzhu supported Cheng Yue.
"Okay, okay, you say it, you say it!"
Cheng Yue sat down obediently.
"Speak!"
After sitting down, Cheng Yue saw Mingzhu's hesitation and spoke hurriedly.
"Uncle Shanshui and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are twins from the same mother. Our Ming family is the gravekeeper of the Empress's family. Last year, my father and I were sent here. This is so that if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince unfortunately passes away, we can bring Uncle Shanshui back to replace His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and prevent the throne from falling into the hands of another prince."
Mingzhu was not hesitating about whether to tell Cheng Yue, but was thinking about how to say it.
"Prince?"
Cheng Yue recalled the look on Cheng Kang's face when he first saw Shanshui. Yes, Cheng Kang had a very good relationship with the emperor, so he must have watched the prince grow up.
"Yes, Crown Prince. I used to think that the Empress in the palace was the biological mother of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Uncle Shanshui, but I recently learned that this isn't the case. Before, my mother passed away, and I had a falling out with my father. I've been keeping an eye on the situation around Xinghua Village. That day, I could have stopped that group of people with Uncle Shanshui, Heizi, and Mazi, but because of my negligence, Mazi died, Uncle Shanshui was taken away by them, and Heizi was threatened by their people."
Mingzhu said this, and subconsciously pressed her hand on her stomach.
But Cheng Yue kept staring at Mingzhu and didn't notice her action at all.
"You mean, Shanshui was taken to the palace and became the crown prince! What about the crown prince? Is the crown prince dead?"
Cheng Yue asked.
"Yes. This is the news I received. I'm sorry, Aunt Ayue, I didn't show up in time to tell you about this."
Mingzhu said guiltily.
