Xiao Jingzheng himself didn't know what was wrong with him. Before, whenever this woman was disrespectful in the slightest, he would become unprecedentedly irritable and want to tie this person to his side. But now that his mother has returned, this feeling is not as strong as before.

Xiao Jingzheng, on the contrary, had become accustomed to all the messy news about her, and even didn't care much about it.

As soon as he walked into the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, he saw his queen mother sitting there looking at him with a smile. In that instant, Xiao Jingzheng even felt that everything in the past was really not that important. As long as he could be with his queen mother, nothing else mattered.

"What are you standing there for? Come here, it's time to eat. I've been waiting for you for so long that I'm starving!"

When Zhu Yue saw Xiao Jingzheng coming, she immediately laughed out loud, waved at him, and called him to come over for dinner.

At this moment, Xiao Jingzheng felt even happier. He walked over and sat next to Zhu Yue: "If mother is hungry, just eat first."

"But I want to eat with you, and I'm not that hungry!"

Zhu Yue personally served him his favorite shredded pork porridge, then handed it to him with a smile, and whispered: "You always have a lot of things to deal with in the previous dynasty. I know you are very tired, so I want to have dinner with you."

"Thank you for your concern, mother. It's actually not that tiring." Xiao Jingzheng lowered his eyes.

From the day he became emperor, Xiao Jingzheng knew that his future life would be nothing like that of ordinary people, so over the years, he had even become accustomed to this kind of life.

But the more the child acted like this, the more uncomfortable Zhu Yue felt.

"Actually, you're still a child. If you're really tired, you can tell me and no one will blame you."

Zhu Yue looked at him seriously.

The more Zhu Yue saw her child like this, the more regretful she felt. If she had known that her child would become like this after she was gone, she would never have chosen that path and would never have abandoned her child.

At that time, Zhu Yue was thinking about the man wholeheartedly. She also thought that the child would be fine with so many people around him.

But it was not until now that Zhu Yue realized that no one can replace a mother, and a mother's company is the most important thing for a child.

"I am the emperor. An emperor cannot be tired, afraid or exhausted. If your weakness is discovered, you will be pulled down at any time."

"I don't really rely on power and wealth, but this is the kingdom my father gave me and I must keep it in my hands. Besides, if I'm really pulled down, I will definitely die."

Xiao Jingzheng was eating and talking at the same time. These words coming out of his mouth were now commonplace.

But when Zhu Yue listened, she felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.

In fact, she had long known that the emperor was extremely lonely. She had done her best to accompany the man and walked many roads with him, but now...

"The emperor cannot be tired, but my Zheng'er can. I don't care what you are now. In my eyes, you will always be my son, forever." Zhu Yue gave him a meat bun: "I remember you liked this the most when you were a child. Eat it."

Looking at the steaming buns in his bowl, Xiao Jingzheng's heart trembled violently.

All these beautiful days seemed so unreal to Xiao Jingzheng. He always felt that perhaps God felt pity for him and gave him such a beautiful dream, allowing him to see his beloved mother again in the dream. But now, looking at everything in front of him, it seemed so real!

If this was really just a dream, then Xiao Jingzheng felt that it would be best if he never woke up from this dream again.

After breakfast, Zhu Yue said directly: "I want to go back and see your grandfather and his family, is that okay?"

Hearing this, Xiao Jingzheng paused and then whispered, "Grandfather and grandmother are both gone, my uncles moved back to Jiangnan with their family, and there are no Zhu family members in the capital anymore."

How can this be?

Zhu Yue was still a little surprised when she heard the news, mainly because she had never thought that her family would be gone so soon. In her previous life, after she died, she had been accompanying Xiao Jingzheng in the form of a soul. She saw clearly what happened around him, but as for other things, she really knew nothing at all.

As if he had noticed, Zhu Yue's expression was a little off, so Xiao Jingzheng immediately said, "At that time, my mother left without hesitation, and my grandfather's family was also very sad. After helping me stabilize the throne, they asked to leave. Later, when I settled down, my grandfather and his family were no longer there."

When talking about this matter, Xiao Jingzheng still felt a little sorry.

He took a deep breath and then looked at Zhu Yue with a guilty conscience: "Although I have been sensitive and suspicious since I became the emperor, I really trust my grandparents wholeheartedly."

Zhu Yue naturally would not disbelieve what he said.

However, Zhu Yue also understood why her family members chose to retreat to the second line when the family was at its peak. The main reason was that a new emperor appoints new ministers, especially in-laws like them, who basically did not have a good ending in history.

This is probably the tragedy of the royal family. There has never been a real victory or failure. Surviving is the most difficult thing.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yue felt a little upset. She lowered her head and said sullenly, "It turns out that my father and mother are gone."

"Mother, I'm sorry."

Xiao Jingzheng did not expect that this matter would be exposed so quickly. The main reason was that during this period of time, he had been only concerned with the sweet reunion with her and had forgotten about other things.

Now looking at Zhu Yue like this, I feel inexplicably worried. Could it be that she will be angry about this incident and ignore him again?

In fact, Zhu Yue knew very well that this matter was not Xiao Jingzheng’s fault at all. After all, this was the survival rule of the royal family.

Naturally, she wouldn't blame the child for this matter, she just felt sad knowing that her family member was gone.

The person is gone, and there is no point blaming the child now. On the contrary, if this matter is not handled properly, it will only affect the relationship and trust that they have worked so hard to build.

Zhu Yue restrained his emotions, touched Xiao Jingzheng's head, and whispered: "I don't blame you, I blame myself."
