”childrens is guilty, please punish him.”
”Oh? What are you guilty of? ”
Jin Chuyi stroked his chin, which had not lasted for a long time, and looked with interest at Jin Chupei who was kneeling on the ground. However, there was not a single ripple in his ice-cold gaze. Jin Chupei pressed his head against the cold ground, trying his best to become more clear-headed.
”childrens did not report to him immediately after returning to the capital. childrens is guilty.”
”Then where did you go?”
Jin Chupei revealed his face in front of Jin Chuyi, ”childrens travelled the entire distance, day and night, and was afraid that entering the palace would hurt Sheng's hearing, so I went back to clean up.”
”What is there to see between us, father and son?”
Earlier, when Jin Chupei came in, he did not notice his face, but thinking about the person who came to report to him earlier, he felt it was strange, only that he did not think much about it. Thinking about it now, it was probably because of the smell on his body, which was far away, so he did not think too much about it.
The grudge in his heart towards Jin Chupei had lessened a little, ”Quickly get up, Sixth Prince has worked hard, I'm bestowed a seat.”
Jin Chupei thanked royal father, and without being polite, sat down on the short stool, but he did not dare to sit properly. Being with a monarch like a tiger; even if this was his own father, Jin Chupei didn't dare to relax at all.
It was fortunate that Eunuch Du had told him earlier that someone had already arrived a step earlier than him. Otherwise, he would have exposed himself. He just did not know if Sun Jinzi would think too much into it, and hoped that she would wake up and not be here, and not think too much about it.
”Pei'er, you don't seem to be in good spirits.”
”childrens is fine, royal father is worried.”
Jin Chupei straightened his back even more, and did not dare to have the slightest bit of carelessness. His cold face was devoid of any emotion.
”Is your grandfather well?”
”Grandfather told me to tell royal father that everything is fine with him in the Jin Prefecture. He told royal father not to worry.”
”Mn, I'm also very sorry for him, but, it's also your Queen Mother's fault. And now that it's been announced to the world, I'm feeling heartbroken as well.”
Jin Chuyi couldn't bear it anymore. Seeing this, he felt extremely disgusted. He only knew that the emperor was suspicious, but he didn't know he was so heartless. As long as one was a normal person, one would know that there was something fishy about the matters of the Queen Mother, but the royal father was unwilling to believe it.
royal father had never been an unconscious monarch, so he must have done this on purpose. Otherwise, how could Queen Mother suffer such injustice?
Seeing that Jin Chupei did not say anything, Jin Chuyi's face twitched, and his gaze became deep. He knew that Li Zhong would not be without complaints about this, but since Jin Chupei's message was like this, Jin Chuyi could not say anything for a while.
Seeing Jin Chuyi yawning, Jin Chupei did not stay any longer and stood up.
”royal father, right now we still have some time to rest. Please take care of the dragon's body.”
Jin Chuyi nodded his head, ”Then you can go now, there's no need to go to court today.”
Jin Chupei knelt down to thank him, but he did not get up for a long time. Jin Chuyi knew what he wanted, but he still stood up and walked towards the inner room.
”royal father, childrens wishes to go see Queen Mother.”
”Shut up, she's no longer your Queen Mother.”
Jin Chupei lowered his head, tightly pursed his lips, and did not argue.
”royal father, I want to see my mother.”
”It's getting late, you should go back and rest. I'll find someone to take a look at your mother's side.”
A cold light flashed in Jin Chupei's eyes as he watched Jin Chuyi walk into the distance before he finally stood up. He stood motionlessly in the middle of the hall, as though a statue. Even if she didn't tell him, he could sneak into the harem without anyone noticing, but he didn't want to worry his mother.
”Sixth Prince, let me send you out.”
Du Decai bowed by Jin Chupei's side, his lowered eyes filled with pain and intolerance. Only, Jin Chupei did not feel it, and only nodded.
As Jin Chupei walked out of the palace gate, he heaved a sigh of relief. As long as he did not leave the palace gate, Jin Chupei would not dare to relax.
”Eunuch Du, what about Queen Mother?”
”This servant knows that I will be watching the Empress Dowager.”
”Thank you, Eunuch Du. Chu Pei will not be able to repay you. In the future, you will not mistreat your father-in-law.”
Du Decai's face flashed with a look of astonishment, then disappeared as well, ”What are you saying, Empress Dowager has always taken good care of old slave, old slave has no way to repay you.”
Jin Chupei nodded his head, and did not say much, he knew that Eunuch Du would definitely help them, mother and son, and he would definitely repay the debt of saving his life.
Du Decai looked at the Jin Chupei in the distance. His figure had already disappeared into the thick and dense night sky, without a trace. Now that the Empress Dowager was crippled, the road ahead would be even harder for him.
In the days that the Sixth Prince was not in the capital, many of the ministers had sent a joint letter asking the emperor to establish a crown prince. The people who chose the First Prince and the Fourth Prince were already separated into halls. With the fall of the Queen, the Sixth Prince was left without help.
