"Zheng'er, don't be rude, Ayue is your sister-in-law!"
Master Li finally spoke.
"Sister-in-law?"
Cheng Yue suddenly turned around and looked at Master Li.
"Yes, sister-in-law."
Master Li walked over, pulled Cheng Yue up, asked her to sit on the single sofa, and sat next to the man.
"It's all my and Shanshui's fault. We were worried about your pregnancy, and we almost lost the baby because of a miscarriage. We agreed to tell you after your baby was born. But we never expected that an accident would happen, and Shanshui was taken away before your baby was born."
After Master Li sat down, he looked at Cheng Yue and said.
"No, not Aunt Xiu, can you please tell me the whole story again? I'm a little confused now!"
Cheng Yue rubbed his head twice and said.
Master Li patiently explained to Cheng Yue what had happened.
The prince died in early February.
The Queen went to the villa in person after the Lantern Festival. At that time, Cheng Kang had not yet arrived at the hot spring villa.
Because the prince was confirmed to be dead, the queen issued an order that Shanshui must be brought over before May.
Then there was the Shanshui incident in early April.
The queen was also cruel. Thinking that the prince was not her biological son anyway, she had the prince thrown into a mass grave and burned.
The fire burned many bodies in the mass grave, but the prince was rescued by Master Li's men who had been following him.
Not only were they rescued, but the people who were originally dead came back to life after the fire.
Master Li took the prince to Yizhou to recuperate, so when Shanshui was captured later, her people arrived too late and failed to keep Shanshui.
The prince recuperated here for more than four months and fully recovered his health, but his body was not as strong as Shanshui's.
Master Li asked Mingzhu to tell Cheng Yue not to panic, Shanshui was not dead.
As a result, Mingzhu had problems again, which made Cheng Yue sad for a whole month.
The people that Master Li sent to guard Taoyuan County had already arrived here to tell Master Li about the Cheng family's itinerary. Master Li has been waiting at the dock with his men for the past two days.
Finally got the person today.
"Aunt Xiu, let me stroke it for a bit!"
"What this story basically means is that you are Empress Xiao Xiuxiu, and the one in the palace now is your twin sister Xiao Lingling. Crown Prince Hen Shanshui is your twin son. To consolidate her position, the Empress took Shanshui away when the Crown Prince fell ill. And their father, the Emperor, was completely unaware of this?"
"Is that so? Aunt Xiu."
Cheng Yue felt like she had just witnessed a bloody scene.
"That's right. There's one question I can't confirm: whether Shanshui has lost his memory. The report I sent to the East Palace from someone said that the Crown Prince had been at the Hot Spring Villa for six months, and the drugs used by Doctor Long were quite strong, causing him to lose some of his memories. However, he's very close to the Crown Prince's children. Of course, this seems normal to the people in the palace. After all, he's not his biological father, but his uncle, and blood is thicker than water."
Master Li said.
"Then what are you going to do next, Aunt Xiu?"
Cheng Yue couldn't understand Master Li's question, so he thought about it and asked.
"We've been waiting for you to discuss this. See if you can convince your parents to stay here for two more days. How about today being the 11th, and we'll set off on the morning of the 14th?"
Master Li asked.
