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

After hearing this, Chu Jieyu didn't even attend Yi'an's homecoming banquet. She directly invited Queen Su Qingyao's Yizhi and left the palace and returned to her house.

But she was still a step too late. When she arrived at the house, there was only the shocking white flag.

It has been twelve years since I left home, and when I came back again, it was my father's funeral.

Chu Jieyu didn't know how long she knelt in front of Chu Gang's coffin, and she almost fainted from crying.

She would never forget in her life how much her father loved her, but she had entered the palace since she was a child, and had not fulfilled her filial piety for a day.

"How did daddy leave?" Chu Jieyu asked her brother Chu Zhao. When she asked this question, she already had an answer in her heart, but she didn't believe it and didn't want to believe it.

Seeing that Chu Zhao was silent, Chu Jieyu spoke again, "Did the injury in the punishment department be too severe?"

Chu Gang, a man over fifty years old, stayed in the Ministry of Justice for nearly twenty days. Besides, with the care of the officials, how much better could it be.

"Dad is just old. No one can control his life, old age, illness or death. Please give me your condolences, little Master Chu." Chu Zhao said with choked up sobs.

This was what Chu Gang told him before he died, because Chu Gang was afraid that his children would become emotional and do something wrong, which would involve him.

"Brother, I haven't been back for twelve years. Now that I'm back, is it so difficult to hear the truth from your mouth?" Chu Jieyu knows Chu Zhao too well. He tends to touch his ears when he lies. This scene happens to be It fell into Chu Jieyu's eyes.

Chu Zhao closed his eyes weakly and knelt for a quarter of an hour without speaking.

"Daddy has not withstood the punishment imposed by the Ministry of Punishment. He was unjustly accused. His Majesty has given so much money to comfort him. The Wu family and the Zheng family have all been eliminated. What else?" It is the duty of the Chu family, and Chu Zhao is not I don't hate them, it's just that my father told them not to do stupid things until he died. The Criminal Department was all members of His Royal Highness and they couldn't afford to offend them.

Chu Jieyu wiped her tears with her hands, and then nodded gently, "No, dad died of illness."

"Dad died of illness."

Chu Jieyu has been telling herself this lie, trying to make herself accept this fact.

But this blow was too great, and Chu Jieyu simply couldn't bear it.

After finishing Chu Gang's funeral, Chu Jieyu returned to the palace.

After I came back, I was completely listless. I just lay on the bed and cried. When I was tired of crying, I would take a nap.

Upon hearing this, Chengyuan immediately ran to Huayang Palace to see her.

"Concubine Chu, please have some food." Chengyuan knew that Chu Jieyu had no appetite, so he ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare some light dinner and personally brought it to Chu Jieyu's bed.

Chu Jieyu saw Chengyuan coming and reluctantly propped herself up to sit up.

Upon seeing this, Chengyuan immediately stepped forward to support Chu Jieyu and placed a soft pillow behind her.

"Concubine Chu, this meat porridge is your favorite, eat some while it's hot." Chengyuan personally scooped up a spoonful of meat porridge and handed it to Chu Jieyu's mouth.

Chu Jieyu nodded weakly, opened her mouth slightly, and let Chengyuan put the meat porridge into her mouth.

"Concubine Chu, eat more, you have lost weight." Chengyuan said, and fed the meat porridge into Chu Jieyu's mouth.

Chu Jieyu only took three bites, then shook her head slightly and said, "Yuan'er, Concubine Chu can't eat any more."

"Then wait a while before eating."

Chengyuan did not force himself, and then brought a cup of warm tea to Chu Jieyu and fed her some.

Chu Jieyu took Chengyuan's hand and said, "Stop being busy and talk to Concubine Chu."

"Okay." Chengyuan agreed obediently, sat on the edge of the bed, and held Chu Jieyu's hand tightly.

Chu Jieyu looked at a small sandalwood box on her bedside, closed her eyes and said, "Yuan'er, this is what your grandfather left for you. Open it and take a look."

Although Cheng Yuan is still under the knee of Concubine Shu, the Chu family has always loved Cheng Yuan.

Concubine Shu had prepared everything for Cheng Yuan from childhood to adulthood, but Chu Jieyu would always secretly prepare a share for Cheng Yuan.

Therefore, Chengyuan has been hurt by two mothers and concubines since he was a child, just like Chengze.

Chengyuan held the sandalwood box and felt its heavy weight, which was the heavy love his grandfather had for him.

Even though he could not attend his grandfather's funeral because of his status, his grandfather still loved him so much.

Opening the sandalwood box, what appeared in front of him was a beautiful mutton-fat white jade pendant.

Mutton-fat white jade is rare, and the Chu family's status shouldn't have such a good thing.

"The Chu family has been prosperous a long time ago. This jade pendant was handed down from our ancestors. Since your grandfather gave it to you, you should keep it well." Chu Jieyu took Chengyuan's hand and tried to pull the corner of her mouth. He gave a faint smile.

"Concubine Chu..."

Seeing that Chengyuan was hesitant, Chu Jieyu knew what he wanted to ask. After all, Chengyuan was the grandson of the Chu family and according to the rules, he could not ask for this jade pendant.

"Your grandfather gave it to you, just take it."

Seeing Chu Jieyu say it again, Chengyuan did not refuse and accepted the jade pendant directly.

"Your grandfather is a very good man." Chu Jieyu seemed to be telling Chengyuan, but also seemed to be murmuring to herself.

In just a few words, he expressed how much he missed his father.

Seeing Chu Jieyu's big tears falling on the back of her hand, Chengyuan took a handkerchief and carefully helped her wipe away her tears.

However, the pain of losing a loved one could not be relieved so easily. Seeing how sensible and well-behaved Cheng Yuan was, Chu Jieyu hugged him directly and cried wildly.

"Yuan'er, Concubine Chu no longer has a father."

Chu Jieyu's mother left when she was very young, so what Chu Jieyu felt the most over the years was her father's love, but this strong love has now disappeared.

"Mother concubine, I know that you are feeling uncomfortable, and I will always stay with you. You have to go on living your life, and I will stay with you."

This is the first time in more than ten years that Cheng Yuan calls Chu Jieyu ‘Mother Concubine’ instead of ‘Chu Concubine’ who follows the rules.

Chu Jieyu's heart was slightly touched, and she hugged Chengyuan tightly.

"Yes, no matter what happens, life has to go on. Yuan'er has grown up and knows how to comfort his mother and concubine."

"The mother-in-law made Yuan'er laugh. I hope Yuan'er will always be strong in the future and don't cry like the mother-in-law."

Chengyuan still didn't understand the deep meaning of Chu Jieyu's words, so he just kept comforting her.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the palace is beginning to become lively.

Queen Su Qingyao is currently busy with the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet and Yun Shu's wedding.

Yi'an and Shixu were really concerned about this matter. In just a few days, they collected the information of more than 20 young people, added their portraits, and showed them to Queen Su Qingyao and Yun Shu.

They already understood clearly that if there was a concubine at home, they would not be considered at all.
