The little sister is a troublemaker

Chapter 293: What a deep love between mother and son

"Nothing is impossible."

Every time Chu Chenfeng thought of the way his brother looked at the Queen Mother, he felt uncomfortable.

No matter how well the elder brother did, no matter how outstanding he was, it seemed that he could not make his mother smile for him. It seemed that everything was so natural and everything was as it should be.

Although Chu Chenfeng was raised in her palace, he had no problems except for his life. At first, he thought that he was the only one like this. The prince was her biological son, so he must be living in a honeypot, right?

Who could have imagined that the two men's situations were not much different, the elder brother just had an additional title of crown prince over him.

It is impossible to get even a bit of maternal love and affection from that woman.

Later, my brother no longer longed for that bit of pitiful maternal love, but just maintained the illusion of harmony between mother and son in front of the late emperor.

"Then...then how did she enter the palace?"

Chu Chenfeng sneered, "After all, the Empress Dowager's family has been serving for three dynasties. It won't be a big problem to bribe a few palace maids and maids."

"Then...Uncle Emperor, do you think Grandpa Emperor knows?"

"I don't know."

Chu Jie instantly began to sympathize with this emperor grandfather whom he had never met. His wife cheated on him, his son died because of his ignorance and incompetence, and he himself died with hatred in his heart. Alas...

Chu Jie's eyes rolled. "The Queen Mother always goes in and out of Longma Temple. Could it be that her child is in the temple? Is he a monk?"

Chu Chenfeng raised his eyebrows, "Yeah."

"He really became a monk?" Chu Jie couldn't believe his ears.

"It is said that he was sent to the temple gate when he was young and was adopted by the abbot of Longma Temple."

"Throwing the child at the gate of the temple, this... this is too much. Does the Queen Mother regret it now and want the child again?" Chu Jie said with a somewhat unhappy expression, "Then what about my father?"

"When the late emperor was still alive, she had no chance to see the children. After the late emperor passed away, the court changed, but her position has always been stable. She has been secretly going to Longma Temple over the years. She even stayed in the other courtyard for two years without returning to the palace, and would stay at Longma Temple for a while in between."

"Huh, what a deep mother-son relationship."

Chu Chenfeng patted Chu Jie's head soothingly, knowing that he was feeling unfair for his brother, "Don't get involved now, I will investigate it thoroughly."

Chu Jie looked as if he didn't believe him and just stared at him.

Chu Chenfeng sighed, "I'll tell you everything I find out."

"That's pretty much it."

"We can put the Queen Mother's matter aside for now, but I want to get to the bottom of my brother's death as soon as possible. Xu Pingting... unexpectedly gave us a clue."

"That's a fool, and she wants to marry you, the emperor's uncle. I guess she wants to use this as a bargaining chip to exchange for a better future."

"Hmph, just her?" Chu Chenfeng's eyes were full of disdain.

Chu Jie curled his lips, "Uncle, don't let her control you. If you dare to let Sister Lan down, I will never let you go."

Chu Chenfeng looked at him as if he were a fool, "Is your uncle so stupid in your eyes?"

Chu Jie showed a flattering expression, "Hehehe, of course not. In my nephew's eyes, the emperor's uncle is the most wise and powerful. He will definitely not be controlled by someone like Xu Pingting."

Chu Chenfeng snorted coldly and continued, "The Wu Clan is also a clue. I let Green Robe go just to see if I can get other clues. He is just an elder and he knows only a limited amount."

"This King Cheng is quite powerful. Not only can he cooperate with the Wu Clan, but he can also bring Simon and Northern Qi together. So what is his intention in returning to the capital this time? Could it be that he really came to congratulate the emperor's uncle on his wedding?"

"Northern Qi will not cooperate with him. As for Simon, a war between Great Chu and him is inevitable. It doesn't matter." Chu Chenfeng then remembered that the third prince of Northern Qi, Situ Yue, was still imprisoned in the water dungeon of the palace. He almost forgot about this person.

"Is the Northern Qi crown prince really in good health? Can he be trusted?"

"Whether or not you can trust us is not important. What matters is whether or not we can cooperate. Only long-term interests are the most stable."

"Okay, then, is the uncle planning to kill the Third Prince of Northern Qi?"

Chu Chenfeng's eyes flickered slightly, "I did have this plan before, but now, let's put it aside for now, maybe it will be of great use in the future."

Chu Jie smiled cunningly. It seemed that the emperor's uncle was still on guard.

After finishing the discussion, Chu Chenfeng was about to leave. Chu Jie pulled his arm and said, "Uncle, can I leave the palace tomorrow?"

"What do you want to do?"

"I want to go see Sister Lan. I haven't seen her for a long time."

"She's fine."

"Oh, I just want to go and take a look. Don't worry, I'll go at night and no one will see me. Besides, you have to thank me. I helped with your marriage to Sister Lan."

Chu Chenfeng chuckled, "Didn't the Queen Mother make trouble and you took the opportunity to issue an order?"

"Um... Although this is the case, the result is good. Isn't the emperor's uncle satisfied?"

"Well, I'm quite satisfied."

Chu Jie covered his mouth and laughed secretly, "Uncle, if you are happy, then be happy. I won't laugh at you. I am quite satisfied. I think you are looking forward to marrying Sister Lan tomorrow, right?"

Chu Chenfeng pinched his face hard and said, "Okay, go and have a rest. Don't worry about things that you shouldn't worry about."

"Then can I leave the palace tomorrow?"

Chu Chenfeng ignored him and spoke when he reached the door, "I will bring your sister Lan to the palace to see you tomorrow."

Chu Jie jumped up excitedly, "Really?"

But what was left to him was Chu Chenfeng's graceful departure.

"Hahahahahaha, I can see Sister Lan tomorrow, that's great."

When Xiao Linzi saw that his master was happy, he also laughed foolishly.

Chu Jie picked up a folded book and threw it over, "Why are you grinning like that?"

Xiao Linzi was still cheerful even after being hit, "If the emperor is happy, the servant is happy too."

"Hmph, my sister Lan is coming to see me tomorrow. Xiao Linzi, go pick out some nice clothes for me and I'll change into them as soon as the court starts tomorrow. Oh, I forgot to ask when the emperor's uncle will arrive." Then he consoled himself, "Forget it, forget it. No matter when he comes, I'll change my clothes and wait for him as soon as the court starts."

Xiao Linzi was also happy to see the emperor like this, "A new purple suit was delivered earlier, would the emperor like to wear that one?"

"Sister Lan likes red, so please find me something red."

"Okay, I'll prepare it right away."

"By the way, ask the imperial kitchen to prepare more delicious food tomorrow. Don't be careless. Sister Lan is very picky and ordinary food will not please her."

"Yes, yes, I will arrange it in a moment."

"Also, you must be more careful tomorrow and not let anyone offend my sister Lan."

No matter what the little emperor said, Xiao Linzi agreed with him. As long as the emperor was happy, he could do anything, as long as he didn't skip meals like he did this time. If the little emperor didn't eat, he, the servant, would be hungry too.
