Concubine's true colors

Chapter 751 Knowing the Identity
Looking at Zhou Yi, he called her a nobleman in a weak voice, and threatened that when he grew up, he would return the money from Nobile to her.

Even though Xiao Jinxuan couldn't bring Zhou Yi back to be raised by her side, or even restore the relationship between mother and child, her tears still fell instantly.

In Xiao Jinxuan's impression, Zhou Yi was very cheerful and lively since he was a child, and every day in Zhaoyang Palace was almost full of the other party's laughter.

But looking at Zhou Yi now, he obviously couldn't recognize her, and his personality became shy and timid.

In an instant, Xiao Jinxuan felt extremely distressed, and even blamed herself for not being able to take good care of this child.

And this time Baichu also came back, just by his side, and Zhuxin who was forcibly left beside the carriage just now.

After all, Zhu Xin and Chi Ling had a good relationship back then, and for Zhou Yi, the other party loved him very much when he was in the palace.

Xiao Jinxuan was afraid that she would bring Zhu Xin into the town together, and the other party would lose her composure and expose Zhou Yi's identity.

But when Bai Chu went back to get the cakes, she let Zhu Xin know that Zhou Yi was injured by leaking her words.

And looking at the little Zhou Yi who was sitting on the ground with bruises and scars all over his face, Zhu Xin's tears also fell, and he hurried over and said:
"Little master, why did you make it like this? No matter how bad you were, you were once the prince in the palace. Who dared to hurt you so badly. Now that my lady and I are here, no one dares to bully you anymore. Master, let's put Take this child back, this servant will feel really distressed."

Zhu Xin is an upright character who can't hide her words. As the saying goes, the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change. Although she has tempered a lot of stability now, her outspokenness still remains the same.

So when she opened her mouth, she told about Zhou Yi being the prince.

And when Xiao Jinxuan glared at her, Zhu Xin could be regarded as aware of her slip of the tongue, and instead of talking nonsense, she just looked at Zhou Yi with tears in her eyes.

Only then did Xiao Jinxuan look back at Xiao Zhou Yi, with pity on her face, and said with a trace of helplessness:

"Good boy, I will ask people to visit you every month and bring you rice, vegetables, and meat. I won't ask people to bully you anymore. It's just that I can't bring you with me now, although Old Doctor Shi Passed away, but you can live here with peace of mind. When my conditions permit, I will definitely pick you up, and I won’t tell Yi Er that you will live in the countryside all your life. I will also teach you to read and write , to be a useful person, so you promise me that you must wait for me to come back."

Now Xiao Jinxuan is indeed capable of arranging Zhou Yi to live in a better environment, allowing him to read and write, instead of staying in a remote village.

But not only did Xiao Jinxuan dare not recognize Zhou Yi, she was even more worried about arranging this child into Changping City.

After all, as long as she returns to the imperial capital, it's good for her not to leave the palace, but as long as she goes out, she will be monitored by the eyes of various forces in the city.

At that time, not only will Zhou Yi be in danger because of her involvement, but his identity may still be exposed.

So staying put and letting the child be wronged in Shisong Town for the time being, in Xiao Jinxuan's opinion, it was the safest thing to do.

Xiao Jinxuan, who didn't dare to wait for long, was afraid of arousing the suspicion of the surrounding people and making great guesses about Zhou Yi's identity.

After caressing little Zhou Yi's face twice, he still stood up cruelly, and said goodbye:
"Okay, Zhu Xin, get up quickly, we should leave. After all, if you are really doing this for the sake of this child, you should know that what I did was right. The longer we stay, the worse it will be for him."

Zhou Xianchen couldn't bear to help Zhu Xin who was crying like a tearful person. Although she refused to leave every step of the way, she knew that Xiao Jinxuan's words were right.

So in the end, the group of them walked out of the fenced yard with a feeling of reluctance, and soon left Shisong Town, took a carriage and left.

But what Xiao Jinxuan and the others didn't know was that the door of the fenced courtyard was almost closed again, and only Zhou Yi was left empty in the small courtyard.

The child lowered his head, although he was still eating the pastry in silence, but the tears slipped down and wet the ground.

And little Zhou Yi, who had a piece of pastry in his stomach and felt some strength in his body, the moment he raised his head, his eyes burst out with extremely strong hatred and sadness.

"Concubine Mu, in fact, Yi'er remembers you, and I have been looking forward to your coming back to pick me up. But you came, but refused to take me away. You abandoned me like four years ago. In your eyes, my child It's just a burden, right? After all, I'm not your own flesh and blood, if I were your child, surely you wouldn't be so cruel."

This child Zhou Yi has been far smarter than his peers since he was a child.

Not only can he speak clearly and fluently at a young age, he can be mischievous every day, but he can always come up with a lot of weird ideas, and he has a great time playing every day.

Therefore, although he and Xiao Jinxuan separated four years ago, he was still very young, and he really didn't remember clearly what happened in Prince Rui's residence before he was one year old.

But little Zhou Yi never forgot the past of living in Zhaoyang Palace, Xiao Jinxuan's adoptive mother, and his past status as a prince.

And now four years of hard life, especially after Shi Lao Langzhong passed away two years ago.

Little Zhou Yi, who had suffered so much and became independent and sensible early on, was deliberately pretending that he didn't know Xiao Jinxuan.

Because in the past few years, he couldn't forget the incident when he escaped from the palace and climbed the Tuerling Snow Mountain when he was a child.

Zhou Yi, who has always been afraid that his identity would be exposed and that he would be killed, had nightmares almost every night. Sometimes he dreamed of being chased and killed by soldiers, and even dreamed of Zhou Xianrui, his father who loved him very much.

But in the dream, Zhou Xianrui scolded him loudly, he was not of the blood of the Zhou family, let alone the real prince, why he coveted the throne, and ordered someone to drag him down and behead him.

For a child, even if Zhou Yi is sensible early, this kind of torture is going to drive him crazy.

He used to love to laugh and make troubles, but gradually became taciturn and found it difficult to trust anyone.

At the beginning, because of the change in Xiao Jinxuan's appearance, he did not recognize her.

But Bai Chu, Zhu Xin and others, as well as Zhou Xianchen who used to come to Zhaoyang Palace often, Zhou Yi still vaguely remember.

So he quickly and intelligently determined from Xiao Jinxuan's words and Zhu Xin's addressing Miss Fang that the person who came was undoubtedly his concubine mother.

However, Zhou Xianchen, the current emperor of the Great Zhou, was standing beside him.

Instinctively, he became panicked, and he couldn't be sure what exactly Xiao Jinxuan and the others were going to do here, but it would hurt him.

So he was forced to have no choice but to see how Xiao Jinxuan would arrange him, so Zhou Yi pretended to be confused and deceived the other party's group.

But when Xiao Jinxuan and the others did not do any harm, but left immediately, Zhou Yi, who was left alone, was lucky, but also full of resentment and unwillingness.

Because he couldn't forget four years ago, after recovering from a serious illness, he never saw Xiao Jinxuan again, like an abandoned puppy, the feeling of being alone and helpless.

Now that they meet again, this mother and concubine actually abandons him again. She is still a little young and doesn't quite understand Zhou Yi, who Xiao Jinxuan is so protective of.

His little hands were even clenched into fists, and the affection between mother and child in the past completely disintegrated in his heart in an instant.

A visit that was supposed to be longing and caring, how could Xiao Jinxuan expect to plant a seed of hatred for Zhou Yi in the heart of this child.

And what Xiao Jinxuan probably didn't expect was that all her actions were exposed to one person's surveillance, and even her real identity became invisible now.

Because you can see the Xiao family in Shuai's mansion after nightfall, because Xiangping gave birth prematurely and lost a son, and the Xiao family is even more desolate and depressed.

Only Ji Lingfeng's courtyard was brightly lit, and after listening to the reports of the four men in black in front of him, it was even more difficult to sit still, and he, who had always been prudent, walked back and forth in the study.

After a while, Ji Lingfeng took a deep breath, and the shock in his eyes faded a lot.

He still couldn't believe it, and asked the four black-clothed subordinates again:
"Think about it clearly, Princess Changde really went to see a boy, and even called that boy Yi'er. And Zhu Xin also called him Miss, you are thinking about these words again, do you remember correctly?"

Seeing Ji Lingfeng's prudence, he originally just obeyed the other party's orders and stayed in the Prince Regent's mansion. Whenever he saw that Princess Changde, he would closely follow the four men in black.

They just followed Ji Lingfeng's order and reported Xiao Jinxuan's itinerary and what she did in the past few days after she left the palace.

Originally, they thought that their master would be interested in Wendi Weifu going out to play, but they didn't want to be a mere little boy, which attracted Ji Lingfeng's attention even more.

Therefore, the four men in black did not dare to delay, and the leader of the team immediately cupped his hands and said with certainty:

"Duke Ji, I will never hear you wrong. Because Princess Changde is protected by a guard who is not weak in martial arts, so under normal circumstances it is difficult for us to get too close to eavesdrop. But at that time, the guard turned and left for a while. Time, so the subordinates took the opportunity to get closer, and clearly heard that Princess Changde called the little boy Yi'er. It's just that Princess Beirong didn't come to our Dazhou with her relatives. How could she know people in Shizhu Town? It's strange, if the duke thinks there is a need, the subordinates and others will go and find out the reason."

But after listening to the man in black's words, Ji Lingfeng suddenly smiled extremely softly. After a while, his eyes suddenly widened, and a lingering cold light shot out from them.

"Princess Beirong, Xiao Jinxuan turned out to be you. I really didn't expect that you are not only still alive, but even your appearance has completely changed. No wonder that after Zhou Xianyu came back from Beirong this time, not only the queen mother was in power The bureau was blocked again and again, and countless ministers were impeached and dismissed. There were also ghosts in the palace, Emperor Wen went out of the palace to get rid of the control of Queen Chen, and my Bieyuan was exposed, so Xiangping gave birth prematurely and lost a child. All these seem to be unrelated, but I'm afraid you, Xiao Jinxuan, are the one who secretly manipulates the whole situation. It seems that you came back to settle accounts with me and take revenge on me, but it was because you kept me in the dark before that, so I, Ji Lingfeng, were plotted by you one after another. Now your identity is already known to me , then this time who will win, let's fight and see who can have the last laugh!"
