Chapter 233: Still Too Merciful (Update )
This voice sounds so familiar.

Su Liuyue subconsciously frowned, and a hint of disgust flashed across Zhou Yunke's eyes, but he had no intention of stopping and still walked forward with Su Liuyue.

"Can't you hear me?"

The female voice suddenly sounded even more aggrieved and angry. The next moment, there was a sound of anxious footsteps behind her, as well as the anxious shouts of a group of servants, "Princess Zhenning, this is the palace, you must not be so rude!"

"Asshole, this is my aunt's palace. My aunt didn't even say I was rude, so how can you be so rude!"

The female voice gritted her teeth and shouted, "All of you, get out of here... Go away!"

During the conversation, Chen Shiya, the Princess of Zhenning, had already run to Su Liuyue and Zhou Yunke, blocking their way. She looked at Zhou Yunke with red eyes, "Cousin, can't you hear me? How come you have become so ruthless now!"

As she spoke, she saw the two people holding hands in front of her and bit her lower lip unconsciously.

Zhou Yunke looked at her coldly, his voice even colder than his face, "Why are you here?"

Logically speaking, she shouldn't be here today.

Seeing the look in Zhou Yunke's eyes when he looked at her, Chen Shiya felt even more aggrieved.

Although her cousin had not treated her well before, the tone he used when speaking to her was not as distant as it was now.

"My aunt invited me here. I went to the palace last night to accompany my aunt. Cousin, although you have married the Crown Princess now, the Crown Princess is the Crown Princess, and family is family. My aunt said that after you married the Crown Princess, you became more indifferent to her, and my aunt was very sad."

Chen Shiya glared at Su Liuyue forbearingly and said, "It's okay if you are cold to me and Youyu, but you should never treat your aunt like this, but...but what did your cousin-in-law say to you?"

Last time, my cousin locked Youyu in the dungeon of Jingzhao Prefecture and never let him out.

Youyu has always been the life of my father and mother. They were extremely anxious. However, during that period, my father went to all the places where my cousin might be, but he couldn't see him. My mother just wanted to go to Jingzhao Prefecture to see Youyu, but she couldn't get in.

Finally, they had no choice but to ask their aunt for help. However, no matter what their aunt told others to do, their cousin refused to go to see her.

My uncle... has never sided with the Chen family. After learning the reason why Youyu was imprisoned in Jingzhao Prefecture, he called my father into the palace and scolded him, and asked him to apologize to all the dignitaries of the previous dynasty on behalf of Youyu in front of everyone at the morning court, causing my father to lose face.

It was not until a month later that Youyu was released, but he was only half dead, in the true sense! Listening to Youyu's crying, he lived a life neither human nor ghost in the prison of Jingzhao Prefecture. He basically did not have a full meal in this month. Before he was released, he was also punished with 100 canes.

To this day, Youyu is still lying at home, unable to get out of bed.

When Su Liuyue heard her words, she was so angry that she almost laughed.

This clearly meant that she was spreading rumors in front of Zhou Yunke.

However, before she could say anything, the man beside her sneered and said, "You don't need to care about how I treat my mother, and you are not qualified to judge my Crown Princess.

It seems that my previous sentence on your brother was too lenient, which is why you are so ignorant of your own limitations."

Seeing that her cousin had actually moved out of Youyu, Chen Shiya's face suddenly froze.

Chen Shiya was really scared when she thought about Youyu being carried out of Jingzhao Prefecture with his lower body covered in blood.

While she was stunned, Zhou Yunke had already walked into Changchun Palace with Su Liuyue.

Chen Shiya turned around after a while, looked at Su Liuyue's back with anger, and followed her. The hall of Changchun Palace was already full of people. Empress Chen sat in the main seat. The seats on the lower right were filled with a group of gorgeous concubines. On the lower left were a group of young men in brocade clothes, full of vigor and vitality. Su Liuyue recognized them at a glance. Among them was Liang Wang Zhou Jingcheng, whom she had met before. It seemed that the people sitting in that row were all Zhou Yunke's brothers.

The Prince of Liang was as frivolous as ever. When he saw Su Liuyue, he immediately whistled and sighed, "My new sister-in-law is really beautiful! No wonder she was able to win over my beautiful second brother!"

Next to him sat a young man in black clothes with a very gentle but low-key temperament. He looked older than King Liang. He glanced at Su Liuyue, raised his lips and smiled, "Second sister-in-law."

In addition, there was a boy who looked only about eleven or twelve years old, with a pair of phoenix eyes exactly like Zhou Yunke, who smiled and said, "Second brother, you and second sister-in-law are finally here. Fourth brother was just saying that second brother and second sister-in-law might be late!"

Although, he didn't know why his second brother and second sister-in-law were late.

In his little heart, the Second Imperial Brother has always been a self-disciplined and serious person. No matter what kind of banquet it is, as long as the Second Imperial Brother agrees to come, he will not be late!
This child should be the fifth prince Zhou Jingting born to Concubine Feng that Zhou Yunke just mentioned. As he is not yet sixteen years old, he has not been given a title yet.

The fourth brother he was talking about was Prince Liang.

The one who called her "Second Sister-in-law" just now must be the Third Prince, King of Chu, Zhou Jingming. He just turned twenty this year. Although he is the third among Zhou Yunke's brothers, because his biological mother was just a maid of lowly status, he has always been low-key and his presence is not as high as that of King Liang.

His biological mother is not even qualified to attend an occasion like today.

Su Liuyue secretly sorted out the relationships between these people in her mind, smiled at them appropriately, and walked up to Queen Chen to pay her respects.

After paying respects to Queen Chen, Su Liuyue turned to the concubines.

These concubines are all elders, so logically, she should also pay her respects, but she doesn't need to perform the grand ceremony.

After Su Liuyue finished her ceremony, all the concubines immediately smiled more kindly than each other and took out various gifts that they had prepared long ago and stuffed them into Su Liuyue's hands.

Su Liuyue couldn’t tell which one was hitting which one, so she could only smile politely and accept the gifts one by one.

Suddenly, Empress Chen, who had been looking at her with an ambiguous expression, asked, "Why didn't Concubine Sun come today?"

Aunt Huiming, who was standing next to Empress Chen, immediately whispered, "Your Highness, have you forgotten that Concubine Sun was in a very low mood because of what happened at home recently? She came to you in person yesterday to ask for leave, saying that she couldn't come today. She also specially gave you the gift she prepared for the Crown Princess. Please pass it on to her."

When she said this, the crowd below couldn't help but be shocked.

The woman in the aqua blue dress sitting in the second seat on the left couldn't help but ask, "Has the missing child of the Sun family not been found yet? That could be a bad situation. Recently, almost no children who have disappeared in Xinjing have returned alive."

The woman looked to be in her forties, with a heroic look between her eyebrows. Zhou Yunke whispered in her ear: "This is Imperial Concubine Murong, the mother of Prince Liang."

Su Liuyue immediately thought of Murong Ying, the angry wife of Li Jia Erlang, when Miss Zhong was murdered.

From this perspective, Concubine Murong and Murong Ying do have some similarities.

However, compared to her identity, what she said concerned her more.

The woman sitting next to her, with a slightly round face and looking very blessed, sighed and said, "That's right, the Princess of Chu didn't come today. The child of the Wei family disappeared half a month ago. When he was found a few days ago... it was so miserable, he was directly buried alive...

If the villagers nearby hadn’t dug up the child’s body by chance while collecting herbs in the mountains, who knows how long it would have taken to find the body…”

That woman should be Concubine Feng who gave birth to the fifth prince.

Su Liuyue subconsciously looked at King Chu Zhou Jingming, and saw that his eyes dimmed and he sighed deeply.
