Surprise!!! The Regent Princess is actually a hidden boss

Chapter 156 Telling the Old Lady the Truth

The next day, due to the sudden death of the empress dowager, the emperor ordered the morning court to be temporarily suspended and all officials and ladies had to go to the palace to mourn for the empress dowager.

General's Mansion, the old lady and Chu Jun all need to enter the palace today. Chu Qianyu was afraid that the old lady would do something weird, so she arranged for someone not to let the old lady know about Chu Xiaozhu and Chu Yutao's previous affairs, so now the old lady still doesn't know that one of them is dead and the other is injured.

But I couldn't hide the fact that I was leaving the house and going to the palace today.

Chu Qianyu had packed up early, put on mourning clothes, and came to Chu Jun's courtyard. The two of them hadn't packed up yet, so they waited for a while.

"Miss, Madam and Master have packed everything and are here to let you in." Huilan stepped forward and said.

"Okay." Chu Qianyu agreed and then walked in.

Yunying sat at the table and looked at her puzzledly: "Why did you come so early today?"

"Mother, father. I came here early today because I have something to tell you two."

"What's the matter? Tell me." Chu Jun said.

"Grandmother should go to the palace today. I asked the servants to stop Grandmother from telling her about what happened a few days ago. I was afraid that she would get sick from anger. But if someone else finds out about it today, I'm afraid that she won't be able to accept it and get hurt. So I'm thinking about whether to let Grandmother go to the palace today, or tell her everything in advance. This way she can be prepared."

Chu Jun and Yunying only just remembered this now, and asked why their mother had been so quiet these days. It turned out that Qianqian had already asked someone to block the news.

Yunying looked at Chu Jun and said, "What should I do? What should I say when my mother comes?"

Chu Jun pondered for a moment and said, "I'll take care of this matter, you don't have to worry about it for now. You and Qianqian stay here and have a good breakfast, don't think too much. I'm going to my mother's place now."

After he finished speaking, he patted Yunying on the shoulder to signal her not to think too much, then looked at Chu Qianyu and said, "You stay with your mother first, your father will be back soon."

"Okay, don't worry, Father." Chu Qianyu said.

After Chu Jun left, Yunying looked a little worried and said, "How should your father tell your grandmother about these things? She is old, what if she can't accept it..."

"Don't worry, mother. We have father here. He will definitely know how to handle the situation best. And even if he gets sick from anger, we still have our daughter. At least she has learned a little bit these days."

"Don't think too much. Let's sit down and have breakfast first. We have to go to the palace later." Chu Qianyu helped Yunying sit down and comforted her.

The servants had already started to bring in breakfast, which was relatively simple, just some side dishes, porridge, and steamed buns.

The two of them had a simple meal and then finished it. Seeing that Chu Jun had not come back yet, Yunying began to get anxious.

After waiting for a moment, Chu Jun finally opened the curtain and walked in.

Yunying saw someone coming back and stood up anxiously and asked, "How is it?"

"It's okay. Mother said she won't go today. If anyone asks you about it when you go to the palace, just say she has caught a cold. I just had breakfast in her room. It's almost time now. Let's go."

In fact, the old lady was so angry that her face was extremely gloomy.

Chu Jun came to accompany her for breakfast just now. She was thinking that her son finally remembered her, which made her feel relieved. But she didn't expect that the next words would almost cost her her life.

Chu Jun did not mean to beat around the bush and went straight to the point, saying that Chu Xiaozhu and Chu Yutao were not his biological children. Moreover, Chu Xiaozhu was accidentally killed and is now dead.

There is also Chu Yutao who teamed up with bandits to assassinate Chu Qianyu and has now been captured by the Regent.

After hearing this, the old lady lost all her thoughts. Not to mention going to the palace to attend the Queen Mother's condolences. She could hardly breathe.

She then drove Chu Jun out. After this incident, she didn't want to go out and be laughed at by others.

Chu Jun did not tell her that Chu Xiaozhu and Chu Yutao were not his biological children, and outsiders did not know about this. He expected that the old lady would feel embarrassed after hearing this, and then she would not go to the palace, so his goal would be achieved.

Now, looking at Chu Xiaorou beside him, he suddenly lost his usual patience. After calming down, he said to Aunt Liu beside him, "Go and send the fourth young lady back to her courtyard."

Chu Qianyu, Yunying and others had already left the house and got on the carriage.

Because of the delay, by the time the coachman galloped all the way to the palace gate, there were not many people outside.

After Chu Qianyu got off the carriage, she looked around and quickly found the carriage with the Regent's logo. She wondered if he would come today.

Without much delay, they entered the palace directly. Chu Jun went to the front court, while Yunying and Chu Qianyu had to go to the harem first. Later, Concubine De would lead everyone to pay their respects.

Ye Qingyan didn't ask Mo Qingzi out yesterday, so she didn't get a good night's rest. So she waited at the palace gate early in the morning, but she didn't see Mo Yinan coming. Her heart skipped a beat, thinking that something might have really happened.

But now that Mo Qingzi was beside the old princess, she couldn't find a chance to get close and ask, so she could only stay quietly by the side and wait for the opportunity.

After finally seeing the old princess go and chat with Concubine De, Ye Qingyan then took small steps towards Mo Qingzi.

Mo Qingzi was looking at the door to see what her future sister-in-law looked like, when she suddenly heard someone calling her.

"Princess Huaining, it's been a long time since we last met. I heard yesterday that you were back, so I sent you a message hoping to have a small gathering with you, but I forgot that you were tired from the journey and needed to rest. It's my fault for not thinking it through." Ye Qingyan said with a smile.

Mo Qingzi frowned slightly, somewhat displeased at being interrupted, but her good manners made her endure it, and she smiled and replied, "No problem."

"It seems that the princess looks much better."

"Really? Maybe it's because the scenery there is beautiful and there are no outsiders to disturb it, it's very peaceful, and that's what nourishes people."

Ye Qingyan felt a little annoyed when she saw her indifferent response, but she really wanted to know what happened to Mo Yinan, so she had to continue chatting with Mo Qingzi.

Feeling that it was almost time, she took a step forward and whispered, "I heard that the Regent was thrown in front of the palace by a strange woman yesterday, and he was still unconscious. How is he now? Is it serious?"

Mo Qingzi took a step back and looked at her warily, "Who told you that?"

"People on the street were talking about it yesterday, so I'm a little worried..."

"What are you worried about? My brother has nothing to do with you. Although the Queen Mother arranged the marriage before, that is a thing of the past. You should stop thinking about it."

"I..." Ye Qingyan felt her face flushed. She had thought that she had some friendship with Mo Qingzi before, and that he would talk to her in a nice way, but she never expected that he would be so ruthless.

Mo Qingzi now felt that what she had said just now seemed a bit harsh, and she felt a little guilty, so she tried to persuade her in a gentler voice, "Miss Ye, I was too direct just now. I'm sorry."
