Deep Palace Conspiracy: My son will sit on the dragon throne and I will be the queen mother

Chengjue picked up the tea cup and continued to listen to the nonsense about time.

Shi Xiu said seriously, "Brother Jue'er, you and Miss Du have known each other for such a long time. You haven't given her a very special gift, right? Don't you want to give her a very special gift?"

Chengjue glared at Shi Xian angrily, "You also want to talk about what happened between me and Wanzhi?"

How could Chengjue treat Du Wanzhi badly? In the past, Cheng Jue basically sent any good things that Emperor Yin De rewarded to Fengyi Palace. Now, in addition to sending them to Fengyi Palace, he also wanted to leave some for Du Wanzhi and send them to Du Mansion personally.

Chengjue knew Du Wanzhi's previous experience, and he was eager to give it to her whatever good things he got now.

"Oh, I was just making an analogy." Shixian said, "Besides, you are the prince, how can I compete with you? I have nothing now, how can I marry Sister An An? The marriage will not be done well by then. , I will bring shame to my family and the royal family."

Seeing Shi Xu pouting his little mouth, Cheng Jue couldn't help but laugh.

It seems that if I don't accompany him to the Cultivation Heart Hall to ask for grace today, this kid won't let it go.

"It's useless for you to convince me. You have to convince your father." Chengjue put down the tea cup and stood up.

Shixu stood up and said, "Even if you don't care about my face, don't you still have your face, Your Highness?"

Chengjue curled his lips. He wanted to see what Shixu would say in front of his father. If Shixu got something good, it would be best for him to snatch it and give it to Wanzhi.

The two of them walked directly to the Yangxin Hall talking and laughing, but when they arrived at the door, they heard someone begging for mercy.

"Please have mercy, Your Majesty. My father was wronged. Please have mercy, Your Majesty."

"Father, have mercy. Father, have mercy."

Chengjue and Shixu looked at each other, why did this sound like the voices of Chu Jieyu and Chengyuan?

Shi Xu took a peek inside and saw Chu Jieyu and Chengyuan both kneeling and kowtowing at the door of Yangxin Hall in utter embarrassment.

Li Fuhai stood guard at the entrance of the palace, saw Shi Sequence's figure, and walked over quickly.

"This servant has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Young Master Shangguan."

Cheng Jue nodded slightly and glanced at Chu Jieyu and Cheng Yuan who were still begging for mercy, "Eunuch Li is exempting himself from the courtesy, what's going on?"

"His Royal Highness, Mr. Chu was just taken to the Ministry of Punishment by His Majesty's order."

The Master Chu whom Li Fuhai spoke of was naturally Chu Jieyu's father and Chengyuan's maternal grandfather, who was a fourth-rank official in the court.

Li Fuhai explained to Cheng Jue in a low voice, "Master Chu works in the Ordnance Supervisor. Someone came to report during lunch today, saying that the Ordnance Supervisor lost some spears. It was found that those spears were in Master Chu's At home."

"Your Majesty was so angry about this that he directly ordered people to take Mr. Chu to the Ministry of Punishment to ask what was going on. Not even half an hour after His Majesty issued the imperial edict, Mr. Chu came with His Highness the Sixth Prince. I begged for mercy, and I’ve been kneeling down to this point.”

Li Fuhai said this lightly. He secretly hid the weapons of the Arms Supervisor and would be executed immediately according to the law of Wanjin.

In Wanjin's law, this matter is more serious than corruption.

"Isn't the Chu family always responsible?" Chengjue said. Chu Jieyu also often went to Fengyi Palace. In the years since she entered the court, she has also paid attention to the Chu family. Lord Chu climbed from the sixth rank to the fourth rank. More than ten years have indeed not been easy.

Li Fuhai said nothing, but his eyes were glancing at Cheng Yuan who was kneeling on the side.

It is the duty of the Chu family, but now that Chengyuan is growing up, as long as Emperor Yinde is a little careless in this matter, Chengyuan will be the next Chengxuan.

Even though Chengyuan grew up under the knee of Concubine Shu, Chu Jieyu was the biological mother and son who had a blood relationship with Chengyuan.

Coupled with the fact that Cheng Yuan has been frail since he was a child, and the relationship between Concubine Shu and Su Qingyao, the Ji family is more supportive of Cheng Jue taking that position.

Concubine Shu Gui raised Cheng Yuan partly because she wanted to help Su Qingyao get the throne, and partly because she wanted to have a son to satisfy her expectations when she was young and to make up for the regret that the Queen Mother's bowl of red flowers made her infertile.

Emperor Yinde understood Concubine Shu's heart. After all, he was sorry for her in the first place. Emperor Yinde was also very pleased to see Chengyuan growing up under Concubine Shu's knees.

But after all, Chengyuan was not Concubine Shu's biological son, and his grandfather held such an important official position. Now that such a big thing happened, it would be strange that Emperor Yinde was not angry.

Chengjue frowned slightly. If nothing happened sooner, nothing would happen later. But something happened when Sister An An was about to get married and Queen Mother and Empress Shu were busiest.

This matter, or the Chu family really has different intentions.

Otherwise, someone is determined not to make it easy for them.

When Concubine Shu was most concerned about Yi'an, something happened to Chengyuan's maternal grandfather's family. It was very likely that there would be a rift between Chengyuan and Concubine Shu. By then, there might still be conflicts between Chengyuan and the princes. Fighting.

The biggest profiteer is probably the mastermind behind this incident.

Chengjue took a look at Shijie. Fortunately, Shijie dragged him here today and encountered such an incident. Otherwise, when Cheng Yuan remembered Concubine Shu, they still wouldn't know what was going on.

"Since my father is busy, Guhe Shixuan will go and see his mother first." Chengjue saw that Li Fuhai was so anxious and knew that the news had not reached Fengyi Palace yet.

Chengjue and Shixu turned around and left, and happened to meet officials from the Ministry of Justice at the corner of the palace wall, including Qin Shangshu and Ji Xingwang.

The Ministry of Punishments were now all members of Cheng Jue. When they saw Cheng Jue coming, they consciously took a few steps back to let Cheng Jue and Ji Xingwang talk.

"Uncle cousin, what's going on?"

Ji Xingwang looked anxious, "Your Majesty issued the imperial edict vigorously and resolutely this time. I really don't have time to send a message to the East Palace."

"Young uncle, don't blame yourself. I already know it now. I'm going to my mother's place. You just need to tell me Mr. Chu's situation."

Ji Xingwang sighed even more, "After suffering some physical pain, I still say that I am unjust. Depending on your majesty's intentions, I will definitely not be able to explain this matter until I get to the bottom of it."

"Have you been punished?" Chengjue's face darkened. He had seen the methods of the Punishment Department before. Mr. Chu was nearly 150 years old...

"Proportionally, we have taken care of it, but..." Ji Xingwang also sighed. Could this be Emperor Yin De's test of him?

"Uncle Xiaobiao, let's go first." After Chengjue said that, he took Shixuan directly to Fengyi Palace.

When the officials arrived at the Yangxin Hall, they saw that Emperor Yin De had come out of the hall and angrily yelled at Chu Jieyu, "Do you still have any rules? As a concubine, you are interfering in the government. Are you going to rebel?"

"Father, please calm down. Concubine Chu didn't mean it this way. It's just grandpa..." Before Cheng Yuan could finish speaking, Emperor Yin De's words were interrupted, "Am I too kind to you? You are also making trouble here, and why are you still here?" Do you look a little bit like a prince?"

"Li Fuhai, hereby declares that Chu Jieyu has behaved inappropriately before the emperor and has been demoted to the rank of talent. She is banned from the Bixiao Palace. The sixth prince, Shen Chengyuan, is banned from the Yuxiu Palace."
