Chapter 66: 想要调查真相难如登天

It’s so hard to find out about the truth. 

Rules are rules.

She had come to the palace to help her Niang Niang, so how could she let herself break the rules first?

These words made Yin Shuang look guilty.

In the half year she had been in the cold palace with her Niang Niang, she had eaten the food her majesty had personally cooked for her for so many times, so she took a few steps back with an unnatural expression.

Zhou Mama’s eyes were so sharp that with this one look toward Yin Shuang’s expression already told her that during the past six months, Niang Niang must have cooked for her quite often.

But when she thought that only two of them were living together in the cold palace, she didn’t take it personally, but she still stressed that from now on, the rules absolutely must not be broken.

Therefore, Lu Yunluo had to go back to her room leisurely and carefully. 

After Sister Zhou had finished cleaning up, Sister Zhou came to Lu Yunluo’s room.

The two of them had not seen each other for two years, and with such a shocking change happening in the Prime Minister’s residence, Sister Zhou had so many things to ask.

She first asked her about her situation in the Cold Palace for the past six months.

When she heard that the palace had cut off food and clothing for her not long after she had entered the palace, Sister Zhou couldn’t hold back her red eyes.

She was all alone in this world and had long thought of Lu Yunluo as her own child.

“Mama, how much do you know about my father’s collaboration with the enemy and treason?” This was a matter that she always had doubts about.

Although she was in the middle of the imperial palace, all the palace maids and eunuchs who knew about it were dealt with the night the late emperor died.

After Ji Wu Jue ascended to the throne, he ordered that no one in the palace should mention this matter again.

Although Sister Zhou was outside the palace, she might have known something about this matter and what she did not know.

Sure enough.

　

Just as Lu Yunluo mentioned this topic, Sister Zhou’s face sank slightly, and she said only after a long time.

“This old slave has indeed ask about the news during these few months in the capital.”

“It is said that on the night of your wedding with the Emperor, the Prime Minister and the Third Prince were seen in their room having a long and secret talk.”

“Where?”

“Right in the Prime Minister’s residence.”

On the night the original body and Ji Wu Jue were married, the Prime Minister’s residence was in the middle of entertaining guests.

However, imperial relatives like the royal princes usually came directly to the crown prince’s residence as guests.

However, the third prince came to the Prime Minister’s residence, which would have been fine if it were in normal times. After all, her father is the Prime Minister; as a prince, it would have made sense for him to come over to congratulate her.

But the coincidence was on the night of her wedding, the late Emperor died and the Third Prince was arrested for treason, which made people couldn’t help but think twice.

But the more this happened, the more Lu Yunluo felt that this matter was too strange.

How could such a righteous man commit treason against his own country?

“Niang Niang, you and I both know clearly what kind of person the old Master is, but he was convicted of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and was ordered to be beheaded on the spot by the current Emperor, so Your Highness would be wise not to talk about it until you have enough strength.” Sister Zhou did not know that Prime Minister Lu had been wrongly accused, but they did not have any power or influence to investigate this matter at present.

What’s even more, the prime minister was involved in the great crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the state.

As the Prime Minister’s first and legal daughter, it was already fortunate that she had escaped death.

If she was to investigate this matter before she had a firm foothold in the palace, she feared that she would lose her little life if she was not careful.

Lu Yunluo nodded, of course she knew that this matter was extraordinary and had to be approached slowly.

The only thing she could do for the original body was to clear the name of the Prime Minister.

But this matter could not be hastened. 

She has no right, no power and no money, so it’s really difficult for her to investigate the truth.

The food in her space is the only thing she could rely on. 

Right now, she can only start planting the 300 acres of land behind the Cold Palace and then slowly build up her own influence.
