"I just heard that there is a new lady named Yun in the palace who looks about 70% similar to my mother, so I thought of coming to take a look."

His voice was a little hoarse, and his eyes were red. "I haven't seen my mother since I was born. I heard that someone missed her so much, so I wanted to go over secretly to see her. But I happened to run into my father there, so all this happened."

After saying this, he stood up and knelt down towards Empress Liu, lowering his head and saying, "It is all my fault for causing all this trouble. I beg you to punish me, mother."

Empress Liu did not speak. She clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves, her nails digging deeply into her palms.

She was careless and only wanted Concubine Yi to use that face to win favor, but she forgot that face looked more like that bitch.

She looked at the kneeling Chu Yunfeng with a frighteningly cold look in her eyes. She shouldn't have been so soft-hearted as to keep him. Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in this world.

For now, we have to stabilize him first and never push him to the camp of Chu Hengzhi or Chu Yunxiao.

After thinking about it, Empress Liu put on a motherly expression and stepped forward to help him up personally.

"Silly child, if you want to see Concubine Yun, you can just come to me. Why do you have to go secretly by yourself?"

"It's a good thing your father was there that night. If he wasn't there and you were seen going to Yun Cairen's place in the middle of the night, if the news got out, have you ever thought about what the consequences would be?"

Listening to her caring words, Chu Yunfeng sneered in his heart, but his eyes were red as he said, "I heard that Yun Cairen was Huipin's former lover, and I was afraid of causing trouble for the Queen Mother, so I didn't tell her."

Empress Liu sighed softly and said, "Silly child, although you are not my child, I have raised you under my wing all these years. To me, you are no different from the crown prince."

Chu Yunfeng heard this and looked at her with a moved expression: "Mother."

Empress Liu patted his hands gently and said, "Good boy, I know you have never seen your mother since you were born, but you must also understand that even if Concubine Yun looks like your mother, she is not your mother after all."

A trace of pain flashed across Chu Yunfeng's eyes. He lowered his head and said in a low voice, "I understand. I will not be confused again in the future."

Although she didn't know whether his words were true or not, Empress Liu still nodded with satisfaction.

Suddenly thinking of something, she looked at Chu Yunfeng and smiled, "I see that you are much better now. Don't lock yourself up in the palace all the time. Go out with your brother more often when you have time."

Chu Yunfeng frowned slightly when he heard this. Hasn't she always been on guard against him and not allowed him to say anything to outsiders? Why did she suddenly change her mind?

But he soon realized that she did not change her mind, but was more relaxed towards him because of his father's attitude towards him.

Putting away his thoughts, he nodded and said, "I understand. I will go find my brother and ask him to find something for me to do."

Empress Liu nodded and talked to him for a while before letting him leave.

Chu Yunfeng bowed to her and walked out.

Empress Liu looked at his back, her face frighteningly gloomy, her hands in her sleeves digging into her flesh.

He'd better be obedient like before, otherwise she wouldn't mind sending him down to see that bitch.

Suddenly, she remembered what Chu Yunfeng said about him hearing that Yun Cairen looked like that bitch, and she was so angry that she smashed the teacup he had just drunk from to the ground.

"They are all a bunch of bitches."

Upon seeing this, Aunt Zhang stepped forward and said, "Madam, a little impatience can ruin a great plan."

Empress Liu also knew that a lack of patience would ruin great plans, but she just couldn't bear the fact that after so many years, the emperor was still thinking about that bitch.

Aunt Zhang knew what she was thinking, so she consoled her, "Madam, you are the master of the Six Palaces now, why do you have to care about someone who has been dead for many years?"

Empress Liu gnashed her teeth and said, "I can't stand it. After all these years, the emperor is still thinking about that bitch."

At first she couldn't understand why the emperor let Chu Yunfeng go so easily, but after hearing what he said just now, she instantly understood that it was because of that bitch.

Nanny Zhang helped her sit down and said, "Madam, even if the emperor still misses her, she is already dead. You are the winner."

When Empress Liu heard this, a smile appeared on her face. Yes, she was the winner.

Thinking of this, her mood instantly improved a lot, but soon her brows frowned again.

Although Chu Yunfeng still respected her as before, she could still feel his changes.

After thinking for a while, she lowered her voice and said a few words to Aunt Zhang.

After listening to this, Aunt Zhang hesitated for a moment and asked, "Madam, isn't this a bit too hasty?"

Empress Liu looked at the direction where Chu Yunfeng left and said in a deep voice, "Just think of it as a rainy day preparation."

After hearing what she said, Nanny Zhang didn't say anything else. She said goodbye to her and walked out.

……

After Chu Yunfeng left Chonghua Palace, he headed out of the palace. Now was not the time to fall out, so he chose to symbolically go to the Prince's Mansion.

When passing by the Imperial Garden, he saw a person sitting in the pavilion. After Chu Yunfeng saw the person clearly, his brows slightly frowned. He thought about it and walked over.

"Master, the Sixth Prince is coming this way." Rendong lowered her voice and whispered in Hua Shu's ear.

Hua Shu raised the corners of her lips slightly, as if she didn't hear anything, and continued to sip her tea.

Chu Yunfeng walked into the pavilion, stopped a few steps away and bowed to Hua Shu: "Greetings, Madam Roupin."

Although he was older than Hua Shu, due to his status, he should bow to her.

Hua Shu seemed to have just seen him. She turned around and said in surprise, "What a coincidence. Is the Sixth Prince also here to appreciate the flowers?"

Seeing her like this, Chu Yunfeng's eyes flashed with sneer. It was obvious that she was waiting for him, but she pretended to be unaware.

Even though he knew this, he still smiled and said, "No, I just happened to be passing by."

Hua Shu nodded: "So that's how it is."

After that, she poured a cup of tea herself and placed it opposite him, saying, "Since Your Highness is here, please sit down and have a cup."

Chu Yunfeng hesitated and said, "Not good."

Hua Shu looked at him and chuckled, "Your Highness has already shown up at Chuxiu Palace in the middle of the night, so why don't you dare sit down and have a cup of tea?"

When Chu Yunfeng heard this, he instantly thought of what happened last night and subconsciously looked towards her neck.

When he saw her bandaged neck, he still sat down and said, "I'm sorry for hurting you last night."

Hua Shu said indifferently: "It's okay, it's just a small cut. Speaking of which, I should thank His Highness for showing mercy."

Chu Yunfeng felt a little embarrassed by what she said. He took a sip of the tea and asked, "Your Majesty, you waited for me here specially. Do you have anything to say to me?"
