"It's His Majesty! His Majesty is dead!"

Chu Youchen was stunned, and so was Su Bei.

No one expected it to happen so soon! "Master! Come back quickly! We are waiting for you to observe the mourning period!"

Chu Youchen looked up to the sky and sighed.

Su Bei hurriedly pulled the curtains tight and said in a hurry: "Go back quickly! Otherwise, Chu Youheng will punish you for leaving Beijing without permission!"

Chu Youchen finally woke up from his dream.

Yes! No matter what, as long as he is alive, there is hope!

In just a quarter of an hour, the carriage drove away and the sky was just beginning to daybreak.

——

The Imperial Palace.

The crying shook the sky, and everything turned white.

Although Ruan Tianyao was in charge of the overall situation, Chu Youheng refused to give up.

He asked the imperial physician in difficulty: "My father was fine when I came yesterday. How come he suddenly died today? Have you investigated the matter?!"

His angry look was just like that of a loving father and a filial son, and his performance was flawless.

Everyone in the Imperial Hospital knelt on the ground, and Doctor Xue, the hospital director, was even more terrified. "Your Highness! His Majesty is indeed getting better, so we summoned Concubine Mei today. But His Majesty has been ill for a long time, and he can't stand this kind of torture..."

“Mei Fei?!” Chu Youheng gnashed his teeth and turned his head, “Father is bedridden, don’t you know? How dare you let him do this?!”

Mei Fei shuddered, "Your Highness! The imperial decree cannot be disobeyed!"

Chu Youyang hurried forward and said anxiously: "Brother! This can't be blamed on my mother! If she had known that my father would die because of this, she would have risked disobeying my father's order and refused!"

"Yes!" Xue Jinrong also said, "And even if mother doesn't want to, father will still summon other concubines. This can't be blamed on mother!"

Seeing that Chu Youheng was about to attack Concubine Mei, Ruan Tianyao hurriedly joined in, "Your Highness! His Majesty's body is still warm, so you should focus on the funeral and stop pursuing these matters!"

"Mother!" Chu Youchen said sternly, "My father passed away suddenly, and I am deeply saddened. But this matter cannot be left alone!"

He turned around, glared at Concubine Mei and said, "Since your father loves Concubine Mei so much, then let Concubine Mei be buried with the late emperor!"

Everyone trembled immediately.

Ruan Tianyao wanted to say something else, but she saw Chu Youheng looking at her with extremely resentful eyes.

They were originally mother and son in a cooperative relationship, so how could there be any affection between them? She was afraid that the next person Chu Youheng would attack would be her, the queen mother.

Chu Youyang and Xue Jinrong wanted to speak up for Concubine Mei, but they had barely said half a sentence when Chu Youheng said, "The late emperor has done something like this, and the Imperial Hospital has an unshirkable responsibility. Xue Guanguan is ordered to be removed from his position as hospital director and thrown into prison!"

Instantly, Chu Youyang and Xue Jinrong stopped pleading.

Because Xue Jinrong saw that Ruan Tianyao was desperately winking at her, not only that, Xue Guan was also secretly winking at her.

She is a smart person and can distinguish between what is important and what is not.

But Chu Youyang was stunned for a moment, but still said indignantly: "Second brother! How could you do this?!"

"Someone come!" Chu Youheng said coldly, "Prince Jin is overly worried and is not suitable to be the vigil for the late emperor. Take him back to Prince Jin's mansion! He cannot leave unless summoned!"

Now, everyone shut up.

The knife Chu Youheng used was a bloodless killing knife!

——

When Su Bei and Chu Youchen entered the palace, all this was over. Chu Youheng summoned them to the imperial study, and at this time he had already ascended the throne in front of the spirit.

They were late because they were stopped shortly after they left the village.

Chu Youheng had always sent people to keep an eye on Chu Youchen, so when Chu Youchen's people went to the manor to report, Chu Youheng had already grasped his movements.

The man came to kill Chu Youchen, but he also said that he wanted to bring Princess Su back safely. This gave Su Bei something to say.

"If anyone dares to touch him, I will kill myself in front of you!"

It’s not that Su Bei and Chu Youchen have a very good relationship, it’s just that Chu Youchen is around, after all, he can help her resist a little. But if something happens to Chu Youchen, she will definitely be controlled by Chu Youheng.

So the two of them came back together.

When Chu Youheng saw Su Bei, he immediately put on a smile, "Princess Huicheng looks good. I wonder if she gave birth to a little princess or a little prince?"

Su Bei didn't say anything.

Chu Youheng suddenly stood up, slammed the table, and shouted angrily: "I'm talking to you!"

A good woman will not suffer a loss in front of her.

Su Bei rolled her eyes and wiped her eyes, "Your Majesty, I just gave birth and the baby was taken away. I never even got to see it... That woman turned out to be a spy! I don't know who sent her!"

Seeing her superb acting skills, Chu Youchen was suddenly stunned. He felt as if he had been deceived, but he couldn't explain why Su Bei had deceived him.

Chu Youheng immediately turned to Chu Youchen and shouted, "Is it you?!"

"How is that possible!" Chu Youchen frowned, but he didn't dare to expose Su Bei.

What if this was part of her plan?

Chu Youheng naturally didn't believe it. He snorted coldly and said, "My brother left the capital without an imperial decree. His purpose is unclear. I will let you stay in Mingguang Palace for a while out of consideration for our brotherly love!"

The so-called short-term stay should be house arrest.

Chu Youchen was a little anxious, but Su Bei gave him a look. He immediately calmed down and said nothing more.

After Chu Youchen left, Chu Youheng looked at Su Bei again with a meaningful look.

"Princess Huicheng can also stay in the palace."

Su Bei said nothing. Now she could only wait and see what would happen.

——

Mingguang Hall.

Chu Youchen was whirling around like a trapped beast, but when he saw Chu Youheng coming in, he reluctantly bowed to Chu Youheng. He felt so aggrieved in his heart, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.

Chu Youheng smiled at him, "Brother, why don't we do a deal?"

"What?" Chu Youchen was surprised.

Chu Youheng waved his hand, and a woman came in with a baby in her arms.

Chu Youchen leaned over to take a look. What did a child have to do with him? What was Chu Youheng doing?

"Don't you feel kind to this child, my royal brother?" Chu Youheng touched the child's cheek with his fingertips.

The child immediately started to whimper and cry.

Chu Youchen didn't understand.

Chu Youheng waved again, and a person walked in from outside the door. Chu Youchen was puzzled at first, and then stunned.

He didn't know why Chu Youheng brought a woman in, but when he took a closer look, he found that the woman was none other than his "famous princess in the capital" - Yaruo.

But she was very different from before. Her previous flamboyance had completely disappeared, and instead, she became docile, a rarity among women in the Central Plains.

"Greetings, Your Majesty. Greetings, King Mu." Yaruo bowed respectfully, without any carelessness.

Chu Youheng waved his hand, "Get up! Tell my brother, who is this child?"

Yaruo looked at the baby in the cradle, then turned to Chu Youchen, lowered her eyes and said, "Your Highness Prince Mu, don't you even recognize your own son?"
