Chapter 231 This is the first time you feel sorry for me (Part )
Indeed, they had been taking care of Empress Chen for a long time, so how could they not know her situation?
Su Liuyue asked again: "Father... do you know the situation of our mother?"
Aunt Huiming couldn't help but look at Zhou Yunke with some embarrassment.
Zhou Yunke smiled faintly, but the smile did not reach his eyes, "Liu Yue is my Crown Princess, not an outsider. There is no need to hide these things from her."
As he spoke, he walked towards Su Liuyue, gently took her hand, and said in a calm voice: "My father and mother had completely separated more than ten years ago. My father was a playboy and amorous. Before he ascended the throne, in addition to my mother, he also took four concubines and many maids. In addition to this, he had many fleeting affairs that even I, his son, don't know about."
When he said this, there was a strong sense of sarcasm in his tone.
Su Liuyue inexplicably felt that the temperature of his palms was lower than before. Previously, his palms were as hot as fire, but now, they were slightly cool.
She couldn't help but feel heavy in her heart and couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
She had heard many times before that the emperor liked beautiful women, but she had never expected that he would be so absurd before he even ascended the throne.
This shows that he is really not afraid of dying in a woman's bed.
Zhou Yunke continued, "When my father married my mother, I don't know whether he liked her or not, but my mother's heart was tied to my father. When my father continued to add women to his backyard, her mind gradually fell apart.
But she still has some sense. No matter how broken she is, she will never lose her temper in front of my father. In addition, my father has come to my mother's room less and less frequently in the past ten years. To this day, he still doesn't know the true situation of my mother. "
Su Liuyue's brows couldn't help but frown even more tightly.
How can this be considered rationality? This is definitely a love-brained thing!
People don’t have the courage to retaliate against those who have really hurt them, and they don’t even dare to get angry, but instead take out their anger on the people around them!
Su Liuyue suddenly thought of something and frowned as she looked at Zhou Yunke, "Your Highness, your mother...should not have treated you like that before, right?"
According to Zhou Yunke, Empress Chen's mental state began to gradually deteriorate more than ten years ago, and more than ten years ago, Zhou Yunke was just a child!
Zhou Yunke was slightly stunned. Looking at the woman staring at him intently, he raised the corner of his mouth slightly, raised his hand and stroked her brow, and said, "This is the first time you have spoken to me in such a distressed tone."
Su Liuyue: “…”
He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "Your Highness, this is not the point!"
Seeing her angry and speechless look, Zhou Yunke's smile got bigger, and he suddenly whispered, "I will tell you everything little by little in the future."
Indeed, this is not the place to talk.
However, he did not deny it directly, which means that Queen Chen might have treated him in the same way before.
Su Liuyue's brows couldn't help but frown even more tightly.
Aunt Huiming, who was standing by, looked at the two people holding hands. Her expression changed from surprise at first to unconcealed joy. She said, "Although it was not easy for Your Highness to come here, I am really happy to see that Your Highness can marry the woman of his dreams.
I am looking forward to the day when the Crown Princess will give birth to a little grandson for Your Highness."
No one knew better than her how deeply the Crown Prince was influenced by the Queen.
From the day she knew that His Highness was going to get married, she firmly believed that Miss Su San must be a very good person, and that was why His Highness would step out of the shadow of the past and truly accept her.
Su Liuyue's thoughts were instantly pulled back by Aunt Huiming's words, and she couldn't help but look up at the sky silently.
There's no point telling her about this, you have to tell their Highnesses.
You can't really let her take you by force.
Next, Su Liuyue and Zhou Yunke had a simple lunch and went to the Taimiao to worship.
After everything was done and he returned to the East Palace, another day had passed. Although the amount of activities today was far less than yesterday's wedding, after two consecutive days, Su Liuyue felt that this was more tiring than investigating the case for a few days.
Mainly because I'm tired.
Zhou Yunke saw her fall on the couch motionless after returning to the bedroom, and couldn't help but smile and said, "If you are tired, take a good rest. I will go to the study outside to handle official business, and I will be back for dinner later."
Having said that, he turned around and was about to leave.
Su Liuyue was startled, then sat up and said, "In theory, don't you have nine days of marriage leave?"
The marriage leave for Daqing officials is generally nine days, and even the crown prince has no special treatment.
Zhou Yunke paused and turned to look at her. "It is true that there are nine days of wedding leave, but there are some urgent official duties that I have to take time to deal with."
After a pause, he chuckled and suddenly turned around as if to walk back, "Are you reluctant to let me leave? If so, I can stay with you."
Su Liuyue: “…”
This guy is a typical guy who will climb up if given a pole.
She curled her lips, lay back down, and said, "Go and take care of your business. There is only one couch here, and I won't give it to you."
Zhou Yunke's eyes immediately showed a smile. He didn't continue to argue with her. He turned around and walked out obediently.
Seeing this, Er'an, who was standing by, felt a little relieved because of the worry that his wife had not consummated her marriage with the Crown Prince.
Er Si walked to Su Liuyue, massaged her shoulders skillfully and said, "Your Highness is so free all of a sudden, I am a little uncomfortable with this."
In fact, it's not that he is very idle, but he is constantly meeting various people and socializing every day. It is far less fulfilling than when Su Liuyue traveled back and forth between Manyifang and Jingzhao Prefecture every day.
"Your Highness has hardly been to Jingzhao Prefecture since you started preparing for your wedding. I heard that Lu Dutou has led his men to solve several cases during this period. He is so proud."
Er Si said, "However, every once in a while, the road captains would come to the Empress with cases that they couldn't solve. I don't believe that they haven't encountered a case that they couldn't solve in the past month."
Su Liuyue said with a smile: "Route's ability to solve cases has improved a lot in recent times. There should be few cases that can stump them now."
She was the one who brought them up.
Now that she sees how successful they are, she still feels a sense of accomplishment.
However, she did miss the days of solving cases with them.
Su Liuyue chatted with Er Si'eran and the others in a random manner, and fell asleep unknowingly.
When she woke up again, she vaguely felt that she was being picked up by someone. She smelled a familiar and pleasant smell in her nose. Before she even opened her eyes, she couldn't help but mutter, "Your Highness, is it dawn?"
Zhou Yunke looked down at someone who was obviously half asleep, chuckled and said, "It will be real only when it's completely dark. Do you want to sleep for a while before having dinner?"
After he finished his business, he wanted to come in and have dinner with her.
Seeing that she was sleeping so soundly with her cheeks rosy, I couldn't bear to wake her up and planned to carry her to bed.
Su Liuyue finally regained consciousness. She rubbed her eyes and struggled to get off the bed. "Let's have dinner first. I don't want to be woken up in the middle of my sleep."
Her current appearance reveals a rare cuteness and innocence.
Zhou Yunke couldn't help being moved. Although he put her on the ground, he was reluctant to let go of his hand on her waist. He gently rested his chin on top of her head and whispered, "Just now, the spies outside the palace reported that the Su family has been sued."
