The peerless and dark princess

Chapter 134 The Queen Mother intervenes

Chen Yu felt bitter when he saw Chen Yueyao being so respectful. He just wanted to see his daughter. Who could understand his current mood? But in order to avoid being misunderstood, he had to leave temporarily and find another opportunity to meet again.

"call--"

After Chen Yu left, Chen Yueyao and Gong Qingyu gasped for breath, fearing that Chen Yu would do something out of line again.

"Wangge, I'm so sorry. I didn't know that the emperor's uncle..."

"Princess, in fact, His Majesty may just be interested in the fact that I am my mother's daughter. Don't think too much about it. It has nothing to do with you."

Chen Yueyao trembled inwardly, "Wange, do you look a lot like your mother?!"

"They should be more similar. My mother has passed away for so many years, I almost forgot what she looked like." She is not the original owner and has never seen Chu Wanran. Moreover, most of the original owner's memories are with Muruohan or Chen Yunfeng, so she simply forgot the past.

Chen Yueyao and Gong Qingyu looked at each other, thinking that they were afraid that Mu Wange would look like Chu Wanran back then. Based on Chen Yu's deep affection, it was really possible that Mu Heng would send her to the palace. Even if Chen Yan arranged the marriage, so what? A new emperor appoints new ministers, and there are so many variables. Judging from the way he looked at Wange just now, there is really a great possibility.

"Wangge, why don't you marry Prince Heng as soon as possible?"

Mu Wange frowned in confusion. Why would she marry Zuo Ci so soon? And it was Chen Yueyao who said this. "Princess, your father was only recently buried. The national mourning period hasn't even ended yet. There's no way you're talking about marriage now, is there? You're truly filial, young lady."

"Ahem, the princess is still in mourning for the late emperor."

Chen Yueyao felt a little embarrassed. She was right. Her father had only been dead for a little over a month, and the mourning period still lasted for over two years. Even after Chu Wanran's death, Mu Heng had to wait three years before marrying. The emperor's death was also subject to a three-year waiting period. Of course, this applied to the common people and court officials. But if Chen Yu wanted to establish an empress and take concubines, that was fine. After all, he was only Chen Yan's brother, not his father. But Chen Yu couldn't be so impatient after only a month of his death.

"The emperor is here?"

"Son meets his mother!!"

Although the Queen Mother was not Chen Yu's biological mother, she was not bad to him in the past. He felt a little guilty because he did not take her away from the capital when he left, and she was trapped in the palace for the rest of her life.

"Get up, I have watched you grow up. You didn't come to the harem to see me today, did you?"

"Yes, I saw that my niece Yueyao found it interesting to meet her friends outside the palace, so I came to take a look." Chen Yu was a little embarrassed. He just saw that Mu Wange and others were seen by the palace servants, and that place was not the closest road to the empress dowager.

"Have you seen Wanran's child? Are you interested in her?"

It's no wonder the Queen Mother was worried. The capital had just experienced a palace change and an emperor, and she couldn't afford another uproar. Although the Queen Mother didn't care about things, it didn't mean she didn't care about the country.

"Mother, I did go to see her, but that wasn't my intention. I just wanted to see her."

"Isn't that the same idea? What's the difference?" The Queen Mother's eyes flashed with a fierceness. "Your brother has already arranged a marriage for Zuo Ci, the son of your former good brother."

Although Chen Yu had not been in the capital for more than ten years, she was still familiar with the empress dowager in front of her. Since she asked about this matter, it was confirming her own thoughts.

"Of course she's different. She's not Wanran. I've only ever loved Wanran in my life. I want to see her because I want to see if she looks like Wanran, that's all."

"Really?! Is the emperor lying to me?" The empress dowager obviously didn't believe it. She had just heard that the emperor was looking at Mu Wange intently. Many people speculated that the emperor might have developed feelings for Mu Wange. Although Mu Wange was granted marriage to Zuo Ci, the two had not yet gotten married. The current emperor was Chen Yu, not the previous emperor.

"Of course it's true," Chen Yu thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth, "I just wanted to see my daughter. She, Mu Wange, is the daughter Chu Wanran gave birth to for me!!"

"What?!!!"

The Empress Dowager was secretly thankful that she had called the palace maid out to speak with Chen Yu. She and the Emperor were the only ones left in the room. Otherwise, what would have happened if word of this had gotten out? Chu Wanran was married to Mu Heng. Although Mu Heng's relationship with Chen Yunfeng and Chen Yunjie made him almost powerless in the court, he hadn't been demoted or resigned. After all, he was still a minister in the court.

"Yes, I just found out too. But when I heard Yueyao had invited someone to the palace, I couldn't help but want to see her. It's been more than ten years, more than ten years, and Wanran has been with her alone... I know I'm the emperor, but if I miss this opportunity, when will I be able to see her again? She is my own flesh and blood."

"Ke Siran is also your child, and Chu Wanran has been married to Mu Heng for more than ten years, and she also has a son." The Queen Mother was also surprised why Chu Wanran gave birth to Chen Yu's child, but she had also heard about what happened that year.

"Si Ran is the Sixth Prince's child. In order to prevent others from discovering that he was the Sixth Prince's child, I had no choice but to claim that he was my own. I never imagined that it was Wan Ran who saved me with her innocent body, and..."

The Queen Mother also felt sad when she heard these past events, but she could only keep those things to herself. He was now the emperor and the pillar of Dali, and there could not be such a stain in his political achievements. But she could not bear to kill the child.

"If you ever want to see that child again, just tell me and I'll summon her to the palace."

The empress dowager finally compromised. Only Chen Yu could allow her to do so. She would not care about the late emperor Chen Yan. She was very upset about those things.

"Thank you, Mother, but isn't this a bit too obvious?"

"Then there's Yueyao, your niece, my granddaughter. I sympathize with my granddaughter, so why not let someone come to the palace to spend more time with her?"

Chen Yu's eyes lit up. That was great. This way he could see his daughter from time to time.

"But I tell you, you can't let others know about this, otherwise those past events will be dug up again. The late emperor has passed away, so don't disturb his peace anymore." The empress dowager was referring to Chen Yan and the matter of Chen Yan plotting against Chen Yu.

"Mother, I understand. I will abdicate the throne to Siran when he can stand on his own, and then find a place where I can watch Wange get married..." Chen Yu said with a longing look on his face.

"When the time comes, please bring me along, Emperor. Even if I have to stay in the deepest palace for the rest of my life, I still want to see the scenery outside."

"Actually, if you want to leave the palace, I can prepare for you to recuperate now, but you must come back to the palace to see me from time to time. I still need you to look after this harem."
