After a long hesitation, Mrs. Chang said, "Yes, Queen."

The relationship between her and Aunt Zhou was not deep, but she always had the Third Prince in her heart. Now that she was married, there was no possibility for her to be with the Third Prince.

But she didn't want the Third Prince to live in the shadow of the Queen's death all his life. If the Queen was still alive, she would be willing to help them.

The Third Prince did not expect her to tell him directly, and he looked a little flustered. After a while, he pretended to know nothing and said, "Not dead? Impossible, I remember she died on the way to exile."

Mrs. Chang pondered, and she carefully recalled the appearance of Aunt Zhou, "I was also scared when I saw her for the first time, and then I looked carefully and felt that she was not like her, but Prince, I have known her for so many years, how could I remember her wrongly?"

"It must be her, she must still be alive, but she just doesn't want us to find her."

The Third Prince lowered his eyes and said, "This matter must not be known to the emperor."

Mrs. Chang was shocked and said quickly, "Fortunately, the prince reminded me, otherwise I almost wrote a letter to inform my father."

The Third Prince nodded slightly.

Mrs. Chang looked at his calm appearance and gradually realized that something was wrong.

"Prince, I just arrived in Cheng'an County, and you came to my house. Did someone tell you today that they saw me?"

The Third Prince was stunned.

Madam Chang continued, "Is the old friend you are talking about the queen?"

When the Third Prince came today, he did not intend to hide it from Madam Chang.

He had many ways to trap Madam Chang here and prevent her from spreading the news. He just came here in person out of past friendship.

Madam Chang saw that the Third Prince did not reply, so it seemed that her guess was right.

The Third Prince did not hide it from her, "I came to see you today..."

Madam Chang hurriedly said, "Do you want me not to tell this matter?"

The Third Prince was silent.

Madam Chang smiled and said, "Don't worry, even if you don't say it today, I won't tell this matter. The Queen has always treated me well in the past. Although I have quarreled with her for your matter, I don't want her life and the life of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The Third Prince was a little surprised when he heard her say this.

Mrs. Chang's eyes turned and she smiled, "But, Your Majesty, when did you know that the Queen was not dead?"

"Or have you always known that she was not dead?"

The Third Prince said quickly, "Like you, I only recently found out that she was not dead."

Mrs. Chang said slowly, "You have been here with her all this time. Does she know your feelings?"

The Third Prince replied with a gloomy face, "That's all in the past."

Mrs. Chang stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is not in the past. I think that since the Emperor thought she was dead, it's better for you two to get married."

"You?" The Third Prince looked at her in surprise.

Mrs. Chang continued, "You have never married for her, but the Emperor treated her like that. It's better to let you two be together."

"We are not young anymore. If you hesitate like before, you won't have much time to be together."

Mrs. Chang's words touched the Third Prince's heart.

Since the Third Prince knew that Aunt Zhou was not dead, he has been taking care of the family here. Although the two of them have a sympathetic understanding, neither of them has said that.

The Third Prince thought that Aunt Zhou was unwilling.

Aunt Zhou thought that she had been married and was not worthy of being with the Third Prince.

The two have been pulling each other like this.

Now Madam Chang has appeared, intending to break their situation.

Madam Chang continued: "Don't worry, I will pretend that I don't know that she is the Queen. You take me to see her. I miss her too."

The Third Prince replied: "You don't need to see her specially. You will have a chance to meet her again in Cheng'an County."

Madam Chang nodded after hearing this, "How is she doing now?"

The Third Prince turned sideways and said: "Of course it's better than in the palace."

Madam Chang breathed a sigh of relief, "It's better there."

As she said this, a trace of guilt appeared on her face.

She has always been a fierce and unforgiving person. She had known that Aunt Zhou had feelings for the prince, and the prince also had feelings for Aunt Zhou.

But she deliberately kept it a secret from the two of them, and even said a few things she shouldn't have said in front of Aunt Zhou.

Otherwise, the two of them wouldn't have ended up like this.

Now that she is older, she knows right from wrong,

I felt guilty towards Aunt Zhou.

Now that I see that she is not dead, I am still somewhat happy.

After the Third Prince and Madam Chang negotiated, they left the Chang Mansion and sent two people to watch her before leaving.

If she really wanted to write a letter or go to the capital to inform, she would be arrested.

In Changliu Village, Aunt Zhou was frightened by Madam Chang and did not dare to go to Cheng'an County for a while. After hearing that the Third Prince did not recognize her, she dared to follow Du Wanchun to the rouge shop.

The owner of the rouge shop gave the shop to Du Wanchun.

Du Wanchun cheated the owner with silver, and they exchanged money and goods in one hand, and their Zhou family had a new shop.

After getting the shop, Du Wanchun kept all the rouge that could be kept, and prepared to take some of the ones that could not be kept back to give to Aunt Wang.

Madam Chang came just after the shop was cleaned up.

Madam Chang pretended not to know Aunt Zhou, walked in with a smile and asked, "Has the shop been run by a new owner?"
