Chapter 241: Like a Pure White Orchid (Part )
Su Liuyue looked at him for a while, her lips slightly parted, and she was about to say something when the Sixth Prince's cautious voice came, "Second sister-in-law, here, here..."

Su Liuyue turned around and saw a little kid squatting behind a bush not far away, half of his body sticking out, waving at her in a sly manner.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, let go of Zhou Yunke's hand and walked over. She leaned over and saw that behind the bushes, there was a small piece of bare land with all the weeds pulled out. A high-quality ginseng that was specially used as tribute was inserted straight into it, with only a little bit of its head sticking out. Next to it was a valuable spoon that the child had stolen and used as a shovel to dig the land.

Su Liuyue couldn't help but laugh.

This kid is quite good at finding places. This place is secluded but has sunlight. Not far away is a small pond. The weeds growing here are obviously taller than those in other places.

She pretended to look at it carefully for a while, then said with a smile: "Okay, I roughly know what's going on. When I have some free time, I will help you find someone who can grow ginseng.

Now, shall we go back to the Queen Mother? The Queen Mother and the other ladies are very worried about you."

The Sixth Prince was obviously reluctant, but Su Liuyue's smile was too misleading. He bit his lip and resisted silently for a while, and finally nodded helplessly.

Su Liuyue stood up with satisfaction and said, "Then go to the pond next to you and wash your hands, and then we'll go back."

In the world of children, once you have promised something to someone, you cannot go back on your word. Therefore, he nodded cooperatively, trotted to the pond to wash his hands carefully, then ran back and followed Su Liuyue and Zhou Yunke out.

King Liang and his companions had grown impatient waiting. When they saw them coming back, King Liang immediately stood up and yawned, saying, "Let's go back. I'm hungry."

Chen Shiya pursed her lips tightly and walked ahead.

Su Liuyue turned around and saw that the Sixth Prince was walking at the back of them. She was about to call him up when suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a white figure out of the corner of her eye and subconsciously turned around to take a look.

But I saw a woman in white clothes sitting in a pavilion not far away. The woman was probably in her twenties, with a very distinctive and clean face, just like a pure white orchid quietly blooming in the corner, silently exuding its fragrance.

Her eyes stared blankly into the distance. No matter how noisy it was on their side, she seemed not to notice and was immersed in her own world.

In her hand, she was holding a bunch of branches covered with small, cute light yellow flowers, densely clustered together. They were osmanthus flowers.

Noticing Su Liuyue's gaze, Zhou Yunke on the side whispered: "That is Cui Zhaorong, she was a noble concubine in the previous dynasty, and she was also the favorite concubine of the previous emperor.

However, after she came to my father's side, she only slept with him for one night before she was sent to Changmen Palace because of mental disorder."

Su Liuyue immediately remembered what she had asked Feng Qi to investigate before.

Feng Qi found out at that time that it was Cui Mingyuan, the head of the Cui family, who helped the Su family get rid of the life-threatening General Wu. Su Liuyue therefore learned about the situation of the Cui family.

As one of the five largest families in the previous dynasty, with a favorite concubine and a prince under their control, the Cui family should have been an extremely prosperous family.

However, in the new dynasty, the bargaining chips they originally had became things that restricted them in every way. Even if Cui Mingyuan personally gave Concubine Cui and her child to the emperor, they were destined to never return to their original glory.

Su Liuyue pursed her lips and couldn't help but whisper, "As dynasties change, the victor always likes to occupy other people's houses and sleep with other people's women, as if this can show his status as a winner."

She could understand that dynasties change and the winner takes all.

But I really can't understand this kind of bandit-like mentality.

After she said this, she realized that something was a bit out of line. No matter how understanding and tolerant Zhou Yunke was, he probably wouldn't be happy to hear her slandering his father like this.

She was about to say something when Zhou Yunke's voice suddenly rang out with a hint of sarcasm, "Indeed, this approach has no meaning other than satisfying your own selfish desires and showing off your sudden power to others." Su Liuyue couldn't help but turn her head and looked at him with a slightly raised brow.

Zhou Yunke lowered his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and whispered: "In front of me, you don't have to be shy, you can say whatever you want, but you still have to restrain yourself in front of others."

To be honest, he was a little surprised when he heard what she said just now.

It wasn't because she spoke ill of his father so blatantly, but because of the words she chose.

It's fine if she just occupied someone else's house, but she also slept with someone else's woman. Maybe she's the only woman in the world who dares to say that.

Seeing the smile on his face, Su Liuyue's depression from seeing Shen Zhaorong and Cui Zhaorong instantly dissipated a lot, and she said softly: "Do you think I'm such a brainless person? I'm just saying this in front of you."

If it were someone else, no matter how angry she was, she would never blurt out such words.

She didn't know when it started, but she had already developed a deep trust in Zhou Yunke in her heart.

She can play around in front of him as much as she wants, but she also knows clearly where his bottom line is for her.

After saying that, she looked at the child not far away and saw them stop, so she stopped too. She looked at them curiously and seemed to ask them why they didn't move on. She raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said, "Xiao Liu, come to the front. If you stay so far behind, we won't know if you lose us."

The Sixth Prince said "Oh" obediently and quickened his pace to walk in front of them.

Before turning around, Su Liuyue unconsciously glanced at the woman in white in the pavilion again, and her mind changed slightly.

She had been in Changmen Palace for such a long time, but she had not seen any osmanthus flowers. However, on the way to Changmen Palace just now, she saw several osmanthus trees in full bloom.

Was this branch of osmanthus picked for her by someone close to her?
On the way back to Changchun Palace, nothing unexpected happened and they quickly returned to Changchun Palace. However, before they walked in, they saw several servants standing at the door with frightened and nervous faces, and they kept peeking inside from time to time.

Everyone paused, and had a bad feeling in their hearts.

The next moment, the emperor suddenly shouted from Changchun Palace, "You vicious woman!"

Then came the crisp sound of a slap, and the voices of the attendants and concubines who could not help but beg for mercy.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. The Empress did not want the Sixth Prince to get lost. The Empress has already tried every possible way to find the Sixth Prince. He should be found soon!"

"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. After all, today is still the wedding day of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess!"

"The Queen actually cares about Lady Hua very much. She sent someone to visit her yesterday. However, the harem is busy with many things, so it's normal that she can't take care of some things for the time being..."

"Shut up, everyone!"

Everyone's face changed slightly, they looked at each other secretly, and then walked in quickly.

The Sixth Prince's face turned even paler. He realized that the incident was caused by him, but he felt responsible and did not escape. He trotted in.

Su Liuyue and Zhou Yunke were not in a hurry to go in.

Su Liuyue turned to look at Zhou Yunke, whose face darkened instantly. He suddenly strode forward and walked in front of a palace maid guarding outside. He asked in a cold voice, "What's going on?"
