Xiao Tang also glanced at Di Jingling.

The man was also looking at her.

After a long while, the man said in a low voice, "Go out and leave the Emperor here."

Xiao Tang gave a soft "oh".

[Little Emperor, good luck to you. The big villain probably won't do anything to you.]

She turned and left.

However……

That guy was practically a leg accessory to her, clinging tightly to her thigh and refusing to let go.

Xiao Tang struggled several times, but failed to break free.

She was a little helpless, and turned to Di Jingling with an awkward smile: "Your Highness... let's be gentle and not be too strict with the child."

"Hmm." The man was displeased to see the little emperor clinging to his wife's leg!

Those deep black eyes stared at Di Yanqing's little paws, as if they were burning with two flames.

The rage was so intense it felt like it wanted to burn the little thing to ashes.

Di Yanqing was initially conflicted, scared, and apprehensive, but suddenly he felt that Ninth Prince's eyes seemed to be... staring at his hand?

He seemed to be burned and quickly released Xiao Tang's leg.

Xiao Tang is gone.

Yan Shi also left.

Immediately afterwards, a "slap" sound came from inside the room.

"Waaaaah, Ninth Imperial Uncle, I was wrong, please stop hitting me, my butt is going to swell up."

[Pfft... The little emperor is so funny. Getting his bottom swollen is a good lesson for him.]

The main villain really does give off a fatherly vibe.

I can already imagine that when the main villain has a child, he'll definitely be a strict father.

Xiao Tang even sketched out the image of the minor villain in her mind.

He probably bears an 80% resemblance to Di Jingling.

Yan Shi hesitated before speaking, "Your Highness, it seems the Prince is truly angry. You should try to persuade him properly later; it shouldn't be such a big deal."

Xiao Tang agreed.

...

The moon rises above the treetops.

A layer of silvery light fell into the room.

Xiao Tang sat by the young emperor's bedside, arms crossed. "Your Majesty, being beaten is a normal thing. Tell me, what are you really thinking?"

The young emperor whimpered twice.

Of course, it was fake crying.

After today's incident, his fondness for Hao Fang increased even more.

He slowly moved his small body to Xiao Tang's side, "Uncle Hao Fang, will you be my imperial advisor?"

"Answer my question first."

Xiao Tang reminded him righteously.

He's even calling himself the Imperial Advisor.

Does this mean she is to hold multiple positions in the imperial court?

Before she could even figure out what kind of identity the imperial physician Tang Xiao had, she was now being offered the position of Grand Preceptor. She... didn't want to take on such a heavy responsibility.

Di Yanqing's little paws reached out and tugged at the corner of her clothes.

"Uncle Hao Fang, I didn't want to be emperor either. But... but my uncle and father are forcing me to be one. I heard that praying at Jingyin Temple is very effective, so I went there."

"Waaah, who knew? The abbot of Jingyin Temple is a terrifying old bald monk. I want to run away."

He became more and more upset as he talked.

Actually, I wasn't really sad or cried.

He did hope that Hao Fang could speak to the regent, so that he could avoid the emperor's important duties.

Xiao Tang sighed, "Alright, if you want to make a wish, why don't you go back to the capital and make a wish at a temple there? You're so young, yet you're already thinking about making wishes first."

She just couldn't understand what the child was thinking.

Everyone else is vying for the throne, but they don't seem to want it at all?

"Could you ask Ninth Prince for me? I really don't want to be emperor. I can be an ordinary person."

Just an ordinary person.

Where did you learn this tune?

The little guy is used to a life of luxury and doesn't understand the hardships of the world. He thinks the outside world is big and wonderful.

Tsk.

"Okay, I'll go ask for you."

"Then... have you agreed to be my imperial advisor?" The young emperor had initially only cautiously grasped the hem of her robe, but then he began to pull her tightly.

He was very excited.

He really wanted a confidant.

"What do you need the Imperial Advisor for? Isn't the Regent enough for you?"

The little guy immediately shook his index finger. "No, I didn't come here to have you assist me in handling state affairs. The Imperial Advisor doesn't have that ability either."

Heh heh.

The little one has quite a lot of ideas.

Xiao Tang crossed her arms and looked at him leisurely, then nodded, "Your Majesty is right. So what do you want me to do?"

"I want you to help me get rid of the throne."

"..."

emmm...

Little friend, your idea is far too naive.

"You're unwilling? If you're unwilling, then forget it. I'll find someone else to be the imperial advisor. Anyway, there's always someone willing to help me get rid of the throne."

He pinched his chin, perhaps he was getting too excited about the matter.

“Then I’ll go find someone else right away and tell my mother later.”

He lay down happily.

Xiao Tang pondered for a moment, then grabbed him.

"I can agree to that."

The young emperor was extremely excited and sat up.

"real?"

"Of course, but I have one request: I will only attend court one day a month, as I am very busy."

Considering that she was the Ninth Prince's strategist and it was understandable that she was busy, Di Yanqing nodded in agreement without hesitation.

He valued Hao Fang's divine calculation abilities and his many clever ideas.

He believed that with Hao Fang around, he would definitely be able to get rid of the throne.

"Then I'll be going now."

"Wait!" Di Yanqing grabbed her. "Don't you want Ninth Imperial Uncle to become emperor? You're the strategist!"

Xiao Tang's lips twitched.

Only because he is the emperor can he say such outrageous things.
