The little sister is a troublemaker

Chapter 291 Is my father’s death a trivial matter?

Li Mulan spoke up at the right time, "Your Majesty, you should go and have a look. The emperor is still young and cannot afford to starve."

"You won't die of hunger if you don't eat for a day." This statement is obviously a bit childish.

Wu Feng snorted coldly, "The Great Chu Emperor is still a child under ten years old, right? As the Emperor's uncle, you are really cruel. Do you want to starve him to death?"

Li Mulan sighed, "Oh, what's your business? You look so petty."

Wufeng was obviously still angry about losing the game. He snorted coldly and continued drinking his tea.

Li Xun also chimed in, "Your Majesty, you should go and take a look. The palace sent a message this morning asking Xi'er and I not to enter the palace. I guess something has happened. If you don't go today, I guess the emperor won't be able to sleep well tonight."

Li Mulan stood up and said, "Xiaojie is a sensible child. This has never happened before. I am worried. Go and have a look."

Chu Chenfeng sighed, and the look he gave Xingyi beside him was like a knife, stabbing Xingyi with fear.

"Do you know what's going on?"

Xingyi shook his head and dared not say anything more.

"Well, everyone, I'll take my leave now. We'll meet again next time if we have the chance."

Li Mulan immediately warned, "Don't get angry with the child."

Chu Chenfeng nodded and left.

Xing gave Li Mulan a grateful look, then left with Chu Chenfeng.

Wu Feng laughed and teased Li Mulan, "Oh, you really care about my nephew."

"That's because I am beautiful and kind-hearted."

The whole room laughed.

Chu Chenfeng, who had just left the Taifu Mansion, looked very unhappy. "What happened?"

"I don't know. The Emperor probably sent someone to look for you as soon as he knew you were back. Maybe he has something urgent to deal with."

"Humph, the older you get, the more outrageous it gets."

Xingyi didn't dare to say anything. My young master, you must be in urgent need of help, otherwise I can't help you.

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

All the palace maids, eunuchs and guards around were driven away, leaving Xiao Linzi alone pacing back and forth outside the imperial study, looking so anxious that she was about to get angry.

What should I do? The young master hasn't eaten anything today and hasn't had dinner yet. How can his body bear it?

Chu Chenfeng came over with a frosty face. Xiao Linzi saw him as if he had seen a savior. He ran over and knelt down, crying, "Prince, you are back. If you hadn't come... the emperor would..."

Chu Chenfeng frowned tightly, "What's going on?"

Xiao Linzi immediately told the emperor about Xu Pinting's request to see him, and of course, he also told him the content of the conversation clearly.

A cold light flashed across Chu Chenfeng's eyes, Xu Pingting...

In the end, he didn't say anything more. "Go and ask the imperial kitchen to prepare some light meals and send them over."

"Yes, slave, go right away."

Walking to the door of the imperial study and looking at the tightly closed door, Chu Chenfeng sighed and said, "You stand guard at the door."

Line 1: “Yes.”

"Squeak," the door of the imperial study was pushed open, and then an unknown object hit Chu Chenfeng, and he dodged it. Only then did he notice the object on the ground, which was a memorial.

"Get out, no one is allowed to come in. If you come again, I will chop you to pieces." Chu Jie's voice was clearly filled with tears.

Chu Chenfeng looked in the direction of the sound and saw only a small figure huddled in a corner. He first picked up the memorial on the ground, then walked towards the small figure.

Hearing the noise, Chu Jie said impatiently, "I've already said, you are not allowed..."

When he saw it was Chu Chenfeng, he was stunned. His eyes were red and swollen, his face was a little pale, and his lips were a little chapped. Then he snorted coldly and turned his back with his butt facing Chu Chenfeng.

Chu Chenfeng's face looked a little ugly. "It's just a small matter, why are you making such a fuss?"

It would have been better if he didn't say anything. As soon as he said this, Chu Jie jumped up like an angry little beast, "Small matter? What is a big matter in the eyes of the emperor's uncle? Only national affairs are considered big matters? Is the death of my father a small matter?"

Chu Jie's body was shaking slightly, he was angry, tears fell uncontrollably, he looked so miserable.

Chu Chenfeng didn't say anything, just looked at him.

Chu Jie felt even more aggrieved. He couldn't control his sobbing and even hiccuped.

Chu Chenfeng helplessly put the letter in his hand on the table and said, "Come here."

The little figure stubbornly stood still, staring at Chu Chenfeng, with his fists clenched tightly.

Chu Chenfeng sighed, took two steps forward and held the child in his arms. At first, Chu Jie struggled twice to resist being held, but Chu Chenfeng patted him on the back twice, and the child cried even more sadly, and slowly turned into a loud cry.

Xing Yi, who was outside the door, felt uncomfortable listening to the heart-wrenching cry. Although the little master was young, he had hardly cried since he was three years old. This time... Oh.

Chu Jie cried for a long time before he slowly calmed down.

"Have you cried enough?" a deep voice sounded.

Chu Jie didn't even look at Chu Chenfeng. He snorted angrily and turned his head away.

Chu Chenfeng shook his head in annoyance, took out a handkerchief and covered Chu Jie's face directly, "Wipe it yourself, you are too old."

"I'm only nine years old, not even ten yet. I'm just a child."

Looking at his childish appearance, Chu Chenfeng smiled rarely, "Okay, you are a child, I will let you be a child today, okay?"

Chu Jie awkwardly didn't look at him, but still obediently wiped his face with a handkerchief.

Chu Chenfeng sat down on the steps at the side, patted the seat next to him, and motioned Chu Jie to sit down as well.

Chu Jie pouted, looking unwilling. But he hadn't seen the emperor's uncle for a long time, and he still missed him very much.

The small body sat next to Chu Chenfeng, very close to him.

Seeing Chu Jie's well-behaved appearance, Chu Chenfeng recalled the first time he held him. He was so small and soft. His eyes softened unconsciously. "What do you want to know?"

Chu Jie lowered his head, holding a handkerchief in his hand, "Do you know how my father died?"

"do not know."

Chu Jie suddenly raised his head and looked at Chu Chenfeng, "You are lying, you must know it."

Chu Chenfeng looked at him without dodging or avoiding his gaze, "It has not been investigated clearly yet."

"So, you have suspected it for a long time, right?" Chu Jie's eyes were red again.

"Yes."

"Then why didn't you tell me?"

"I have said that we have not investigated it thoroughly and have no evidence."

Chu Jie refused to give in. "Then you can tell me, and we can investigate together. He is my father. Why did the emperor's uncle hide it from me? Do you really not trust me? I know that you have always been dissatisfied with me and think that I am not smart enough or good enough, but... He is my father, I should know."

The child's expression was so aggrieved that Chu Chenfeng didn't have the heart to say anything to him.
