Chapter 448 The Dust Settles
Chu Yanyu played carelessly for more than a month.

This day, the three of them were tired from playing and went to the Dachang Princess's mansion to have a meal. When they arrived at the gate, they were shocked by the gate full of white lanterns.

"Auntie!" Chu Yanyu raised her skirt in panic and rushed in, almost bumping into someone head-on.

"Eunuch Zhenghai?" Chu Yanyu was taken aback.

"Oh, Princess Xiyu. This old servant has found you." Zhenghai cried out loudly.

Chu Yanyu became anxious, and stomped her feet, "What's going on? Eunuch Zhenghai, why are you here? Whose funeral is this?"

"Your majesty, your majesty is dead." Zheng Hai, who was always the most polite, sat down on the ground and cried loudly.

Chu Yanyu was stunned, and murmured, "Father? Father died?"

"Xi Yu." The Eldest Princess stepped out quickly, her eyes were red, "Hurry up and pack up and go back to Beijing."

Chu Yanyu's mind was blank, and she let Xia He and Dong Lu pack up and send her to the carriage.

"Xiyu, you can cry if you want, don't hold back." Aman, who was frightened by her expression, held her hand worriedly.

Chu Yanyu looked over in a daze, tears filled her red eyes, "My father was always healthy, why did he die? I don't believe it."

"Didn't it mean that the emperor has been seriously ill for a while? Don't worry, you'll know when you return to Beijing."

Chu Yanyu cried, "Let them hurry up, the carriage should hurry up."

"Okay." Aman shouted from outside, "Donglu, hurry up the carriage."

"Yes."

After three days and nights of traveling without sleep, they finally returned to the capital.
-
"Mother's queen." Chu Yanyu looked at the huge golden dragon coffin in astonishment, and threw herself into Empress Sun's arms, "Why did the father die?"

Empress Sun stroked her calmly, "Your father is seriously ill. Xiyu, go and change first before coming here."

"Okay." Chu Yanyu was infected by Empress Sun's calmness, wiped away her tears, and went to Jingxiang Palace with Xia He Donglu to take a bath and change clothes.

When he returned to the mourning hall, Huo Qingyu was already there.

"Are you back?" Huo Qingyu hurried over and asked in a low voice.

"En." Chu Yanyu didn't have time to care about him, walked to Empress Sun, put her arm on Empress Sun, and choked up, "Mother, don't be sad."

Empress Sun smiled and patted her hand, "Empress Mother is fine."

Chu Yanyu lowered her voice, "Is Father really seriously ill?"

Empress Sun's eyes flickered slightly, "Yes."

Chu Yanyu breathed a sigh of relief.

Her father didn't have deep feelings in the first place. Without this father, she would not have suffered so much in her previous life, and her mother would not have died tragically.

She also cried and thanked her father and daughter for their love.

The emperor father passed away, Chu Peizhen became the throne, and the Huo family was no longer in danger.

The empress dowager, whose mother and empress do her part, doesn't have to face her father all day long and loves this one and that one.

After figuring it out, Chu Yanyu calmly accompanied her mother to deal with various matters such as father's funeral.

The country cannot be without a king for a day. Chu Peizhenzun ascended the throne from the empress dowager Yizhi to become the emperor. The enthronement ceremony was held one month after the funeral.

Chu Yanyu did not go out of the palace, and stayed with the queen all the time, and also learned about what happened in the palace during this period from Yuzhen and Zitong.

In addition to framing Huo Qingyu, the father suddenly wanted to make Concubine Xi the imperial concubine, and to give Chu Peitai a first-rank prince, and made things difficult for Chu Peizhen. Bae Tae.

There were rumors in the court that the emperor wanted to be easy to store.

Empress Sun changed her previous virtuous personality, firmly opposed making Concubine Xi a noble concubine, and presented evidence of Concubine Xi's crime of buying and selling officials to amass money.

Unexpectedly, the emperor was obsessed with ghosts, reprimanded Empress Sun for being jealous, and even had the idea of ​​abolishing the empress.

Fortunately, the emperor suddenly fell ill, and everything he wanted to do was put on hold.

During the emperor's illness, Huo Qingyu was framed immediately, and Concubine Xi was demoted to concubine Xi.

After the emperor became seriously ill, Empress Sun Yi ordered Chu Peizhen to act as the government agent.

Empress Sun handed Xi Concubine's incriminating evidence to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and ordered the Ministry of Criminal Justice to investigate the facts.

According to the law, the Ministry of Punishment submitted the punishment memorial to the criminals, and Empress Sun handed it over to Chu Peizhen for disposal, and Chu Peizhen gave Zhubi instructions.

Concubine Xi was demoted to a commoner and thrown into the cold palace.

None of the related relatives survived.

Chu Yanyu's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, but she never expected so many major events to happen in just one month.

Her queen mother was almost forced to death by her fatuous father.

Originally, she wondered if someone had tampered with her father's sudden serious illness, but now she didn't bother to ask, since they were all dead anyway.

All dust settled.

Chu Yanyu returned to the Eldest Princess' Mansion, and as soon as she stepped into the gate, she saw Huo Qingyu who was stuck in the courtyard like a wooden stick.

She lifted her foot halfway.

Chu Yanyu: Is it too late to go back now?
