Zhu family.

Time goes back to the day before the Chinese New Year. When Censor Zhu returned to the Zhu Mansion from the court, Aunt Xue twisted her slender waist to greet him, "The master is back..."

Zhu Yushi had also been away for two months. Because he was busy welcoming the emperor and empress, he even returned home later than Zhu Yiyi. At this moment, his eyebrows and nose were squeezed together in anger. He asked in a cold voice, "Has Zhu Yiyi returned home?"

Aunt Xue had already learned about Zhu Zhenzhen from Zhu Yiyi, but Zhu Zhenzhen did not dare to tell Aunt Xue that she was the one who framed her, but she did not dare to say it out loud.

Then, a slap was heard on Aunt Xue's face. "Where is Zhu Yiyi?"

"The eldest lady is in her yard, master..." Aunt Xue was slapped for no reason, and her tears flowed like pearls from a broken string.

As the servant helped Madam Zhu into the yard, they saw Aunt Xue being beaten. She didn't know what had happened to her daughter because the emperor had ordered the news to be blocked.

Mrs. Zhu was very happy to see Aunt Xue being beaten, as Aunt Xue was usually favored.

On this side, Censor Zhu did not feel sorry for her and went straight to Zhu Yiyi's yard.

Zhu Yiyi was dressing up at home. She thought that the emperor would let her enter the palace after returning to Beijing. After all, the emperor had never directly refused her.

Censor Zhu rushed in, and Zhu Yiyi said, "Father, you're back too." She thought her father didn't know what she had done. After all, even the emperor couldn't figure out who wanted to harm Zhu Zhenzhen.

Zhu Yushi's eyes widened with anger, and he slapped Zhu Yiyi twice, making her dizzy and disoriented. She looked incredulous, "Father..."

"What did you do outside, you evil girl, you idiot." Censor Zhu scolded her directly.

Zhu Yiyi guessed in her heart and cried, "Father, don't listen to Sister Zhen's nonsense. She is crazy and she is talking nonsense. Her innocence has been ruined. I am also very sad, but I didn't do that."

Censor Zhu ordered all the maids who served her to get out, and asked his confidants to guard the yard. Then he lowered his voice and said in a deep voice, "It was not Zhenzhen who said that, but Qin Yunyan who conspired with you said that you wanted to frame Zhenzhen and Xiao Yu, right or not."

After hearing this, Zhu Yiyi knelt on the ground immediately, "Father, please listen to my daughter's explanation. Sister Zhen has been in the palace for almost two years and has no children. She is not suitable to enter the palace at all. My daughter has been favored by His Majesty, and he will soon send someone to take my daughter to the palace..."

Censor Zhu sneered, "Take you into the palace? You still want to enter the palace, but you are not worthy. You almost ruined my official position. If I hadn't made preparations in advance, our Zhu family would have been confiscated by you. Didn't I tell you to only cultivate your relationship with the emperor? If Zhenzhen gets into trouble, how can you, as her sister, deny your involvement?"

Zhu Yiyi almost turned pale after hearing this, "How could this be? His Majesty clearly said that he hopes I can stay by his side." He also gently helped her apply the medicine. Although the relationship between the emperor and the queen has improved again, it does not affect the emperor's love for her at all!

"Zhenzhen was not sent back to the Censorate, but entered the palace directly, which means that the emperor will not abolish her. From today on, you must behave yourself, otherwise I will not forgive you. You are the daughter of the Zhu family, and we all prosper together and suffer together. Don't you know that? As long as Zhenzhen is well, you, the daughter of the Zhu family, will also be well.

The woman who helped you harm Zhenzhen is actually Concubine Su’s person. The Su family wants to seek revenge on the Jiang family and the emperor, and you are being used by them without knowing it..."

After hearing this, Zhu Yiyi said, "Father said that their real purpose is to get father to join them in dealing with the queen, but we were going to deal with the queen anyway, so what's wrong with joining forces with them now?"

Zhu Yushi said coldly, "When did I say I would deal with the queen? The Zhu family's position has not yet been secured, why would I deal with the queen? Can you not be so stupid?"

"Didn't father say that he wanted the Zhu family's daughter to be pregnant with the prince?" Isn't it to let the Zhu family's daughter compete for the position of queen? If the queen is killed by them, the Zhu family's daughter will have a chance.

Zhu Yushi paused, "Don't say such things anymore. Remember not to admit that you drugged Zhenzhen. From today on, don't go out."

Censor Zhu knew what she was thinking and warned her coldly, "If Zhenzhen's story gets out and it brings disgrace to the Zhu family or brings disgrace to the royal family, you will not be able to get out alive. I will treat you as if I don't have a daughter, so from now on you'd better keep this matter to yourself."

Concubine Su wanted to strangle him by the throat, but how could he let her control him and use that to threaten him? This time he spent a lot of money to settle the matter, but only lost a few confidants. Those scapegoats were not really scapegoats. He had done them a favor, and now it was time for them to repay him.

No matter what Concubine Su said, the emperor would not believe it, and he concluded that Concubine Su had no evidence in her hands. If he let Su Xuan hold the evidence, he would not help him.

Zhu Yiyi was shocked. "Even if my daughter knew, she wouldn't tell anyone." She only laughed at Zhu Zhenzhen with her mother, and naturally did not say that she was the one who drugged Zhu Zhenzhen. She didn't expect that her father knew about it, and also knew that the person who helped her was called Qin Yunyan.

Zhu Yiyi thought of another idea to please Zhu Yushi, "Qin Yunyan's father has also met him!"

Censor Zhu glared at her, implying that he had seen it before, otherwise how would he know that Concubine Su was planning to get the Zhu family to join her in dealing with the Queen.

Zhu Yiyi said gloomily, "That girl is really beautiful, but she wants to seek revenge from Minister Xiao for killing her father and mother. Father can help her, maybe you can win her heart. I heard that she is the daughter of a criminal and was demoted to a slave."

Censor Zhu was somewhat tempted. He had been eager to make a move when he first saw the girl in the funeral procession, but he didn't have the chance later. Now that he knew she was Concubine Su's person, it was impossible for him to keep such a dangerous person around him.

He did not tell Zhu Yiyi these words. He only heard him say in a deep voice, "Father has already arranged a marriage for you. From today until you get married, you must reflect on your mistakes in your room and cannot go anywhere."

Zhu Yiyi was stunned for a moment. They wanted her to get married?

No wonder the emperor was so cold to her afterwards. She thought it was because he was in front of the queen, so he avoided her. It turned out that the emperor had never thought of letting her enter the palace to accompany him.

She still couldn't accept it. Why could she enter the palace even though Zhu Zhenzhen was not clean? While she was prettier than Zhu Zhenzhen, she had to be inferior to her forever.
