Chapter 648 Extra - A loving father and a filial son

Chapter 648 Extra - A loving father and a filial son

Every autumn rain brings a chill.

Autumn in the capital came almost overnight.

The northwest wind suddenly blew, mixed with heavy autumn rain, and it kept falling for two full days.

When the sky cleared up again, people who went out had already put on thick clothes, and those who were afraid of cold wore thin padded jackets. Because Hang Xueyun had a cold body and was afraid of cold, the King of Qi ordered people to turn on the floor heating early.

Afraid that the house would have a strong smell of charcoal fire, she ordered people to put a lot of fresh flowers in. With the heating turned on, Hang Xueyun's house was like a sea of ​​flowers, and the fragrance was refreshing.

Ever since Luo was divorced and abandoned from Prince Qi's Palace, and died of a serious illness due to heartbreak, Hang Xueyun completely replaced her position and monopolized the entire Prince Qi's favor.

The King of Qi is permanent, but the Princesses of Qi come and go.

Not to mention the Prince of Qi's Palace, even the entire capital city was used to this.

The only one who couldn't adapt was Chu Jinzhuo.

Even when he heard every detail about the King of Qi's favoritism towards Hang Xueyun, he gritted his teeth and was filled with hatred.

But now, even though he hated it so much, he was powerless to change this matter.

Because Luo poisoned Prince Qi and Hang Xueyun, Prince Qi also developed an extreme dislike for her. Even though he is now eighteen years old, he has never found an official position for her, and has never worried about her marriage.

It seemed as if the animal was just kept in the mansion and left to fend for itself.

When Chu Jinzhuo thought of this, he crushed half of the teacup in his hand.

"Second Young Master..." The servant beside him turned pale when he saw traces of blood seeping out from between Chu Jinzhou's clenched fingers.

"It's okay." Chu Jinzhuo had a blank expression on his face. After loosening his hand, he simply took the towel beside him and wrapped it up.

The pain in his heart had long since numbed him, and these things on his hands were nothing.

"It's been a while since I've paid my respects to my father. Since he's having dinner at home, let's go." Chu Jinzhuo stood up. "It just so happens that I just came back from outside and bought some crab roe cakes. It seems to be Concubine Hang's favorite food, so let's take them over."

"Although my father doesn't like me as a son, he is still my father after all. I still have to fulfill my filial duty."

The servant pursed his lips, picked up the food box, and followed Chu Jinzhuo.

They arrived at the courtyard where Hang Xueyun was, and the King of Qi was having dinner with her.

Knowing that Chu Jinzhuo came to pay respects, the King of Qi was displeased, "Why is he here?"

"Your Highness, I heard from the Second Young Master that he knew the concubine liked to eat crab meat cakes, so he bought some from outside. He also thought that he had not paid his respects to Your Highness for a long time, so he came to show his filial piety."

The King of Qi didn't care whether one showed filial piety or not.

But when he heard that Chu Jinzhuo brought the crab meat cakes that Hang Xueyun liked, his expression softened a lot, "Let him in."

Chu Jinzhuo carried the food box and walked into the room with his head down, "Father, Concubine Hang."

"I know Concubine Hang likes crab roe cakes, so I bought some specially. I hope Concubine Hang will not dislike them."

Chu Jinzhuo took out the plate from the food box and presented it with both hands.

The maid beside her took it and placed it on the table next to King Qi.

The crab roe crisps look delicious and mouth-watering.

only……

In the past, Luo Shi had also tried to fawn on him by having food sent to him, but it nearly cost him and Hang Xueyun their lives.

The King of Qi narrowed his eyes, picked up a piece of crab roe crisp from the plate, and handed it to Chu Jinzhuo, "You are so filial, I can't treat you badly, you can also try a piece of crab roe crisp."

"Thank you, father." Chu Jinzhuo smiled, put the crab meat cake into his mouth and chewed it. "It tastes really delicious."

Then he swallowed all the crab meat crisps, still not satisfied, "Father, can you give me another piece?"

King Qi glanced at Chu Jinzhuo, gave him another piece of crab meat cake, and then took another piece and put it to Hang Xueyun's mouth, "Try it too."

Hang Xueyun said "hmm", took it, took a bite, smiled coquettishly, and put a piece into the hands of King Qi.

The crab roe crisps tasted wonderful. King Qi and Hang Xueyun were in a very good mood at the moment and ate two or three pieces in succession.

When he felt a little greasy and wanted to drink some sour bamboo shoots and old duck soup to relieve the pain, the King of Qi suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach.

The King of Qi could clearly feel the pain, which was exactly the same as when Luo poisoned him before.

At this time, Hang Xueyun could no longer hold on and fainted after spitting out a mouthful of black blood.

"Rebellious son..." King Qi held on and shouted at Chu Jinzhuo.

"It's nothing more than a loving father and a filial son." Chu Jinzhuo curled his lips and smiled faintly.

He was no longer able to stand steadily at this point, his entire body was shaky and he had to hold onto the wall beside him. Black blood had already seeped out from his clenched teeth and was slowly flowing out from the corners of his mouth.

It was obvious that Chu Jinzhuo had poisoned the crab meat pastry, and Chu Jinzhuo had intended to fight to the death from the beginning.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The King of Qi collapsed to the ground, looking at Chu Jinzhuo who had fallen down with him, hatred gradually rose in his eyes.

Evil wife and rebellious son!

If I had known that both mother and son were so vicious, I should not have let Luo into the house!

If I had known...

The King of Qi opened his eyes wide and his mouth opened even wider.

The incident happened too suddenly, and the servants took a long time to recover from their shock and burst into tears.

The whole Qi Wang Mansion was suddenly busy.

This matter was indeed damaging to the reputation of the royal family. The fact that Prince Qi and Concubine Hang were poisoned by Chu Jinzhuo was eventually suppressed by Chu Shengrui. He only said to the outside world that Prince Qi had an acute illness and accidentally infected Hang Xueyun and Chu Jinzhuo, and the three died.

The death of the King of Qi was not glorious, and he had not made any contribution to the country for many years. He was often in trouble and had a very bad reputation. Chu Shengrui kept the funeral simple on the grounds that the national treasury was tight and the Queen Mother could not bear to see her son die before her.

Chu Jinnian and Zhuang Qingning's family rushed back to the capital overnight to handle the funeral.

Because the funeral was simple, it was much easier to arrange. The body was kept for seven days before being buried.

In a blink of an eye, it was the 37th day. Chu Jinnian, Zhuang Qingning and the two little ones went to the mausoleum to pay homage.

From a distance, Chu Jinzhou could be seen standing in front of the tomb, with offerings neatly placed in front of him and traces of burnt paper money under his feet.

Chu Jinnian didn't say anything. He walked up to him and patted Chu Jinzhou on the shoulder.

"Brother." Chu Jinzhou came back to his senses, a bitter smile appeared on his lips, "After all, I couldn't help but come over to see him."

Even though he never acknowledged him.

Even though he had always wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.

But he is his biological father after all...

Yes, biological father.

Although no one had ever seriously discussed this matter in front of him, Chu Jinzhou had gotten a general idea of ​​it from the few words spoken by others.
