Time passed minute by minute, until there was only a quarter of an hour left.

"Hahaha... get ready, hold on to General Xie, we're going to ask the King of Nanyue for the military token."

Although the Regent was happy, he still looked at General Xie, fearing that something might go wrong. "Don't worry, go slowly."

"I suddenly feel like going to the toilet. I'm going to the toilet first."

General Xie said this and was about to walk over.

"Send someone over to watch him pee. There must be no accidents." The Regent had a dark face.

General Xie was speechless. "Prince Regent, is there any need to be so nervous? Don't worry, I will definitely survive and get the things."

The Regent's heartbeat quickened, and after a long time, he still hadn't finished urinating.

"Why has he not come back since he left for so long?" The Regent began to get anxious and quickly sent someone to check.

The subordinates were also helpless. Usually, the regent didn't take care of so many things, but today he even had to take care of other people's excrement and urine.

The subordinates looked indifferent at first. They naturally didn't believe that someone could die just by going to the toilet.

But not long after, the guards beside General Xie came running over and looked at the Regent with horror, "Oh no! Oh no! General Xie fell into the cesspool. He seemed to be dead when he was fished out."

The Regent felt his body stiffen, and he almost fainted from lack of breath. He gritted his teeth, his teeth swollen, and said, "Didn't I tell you to watch? How can you fall into the pit when you pee?"

"We did watch, but General Xie fell in on his own."

"He was clearly standing by to urinate, but his body seemed to be out of control and he fell in. We suspect that an emergency occurred just as he entered the toilet. Then he died."

The subordinates also found it incredible, "The regent thing might have been destined from the beginning to the end."

The Regent was silent. It seemed as if everything in the world was under the control of that little girl.

Impartial, as if she had already seen through everything.

And they are nothing but clowns!

"Didn't you say you wouldn't die?" The Regent's voice was filled with sadness and helplessness.

"Well... there are always unexpected things... It seems that the other party is indeed an expert."

The Taoist priest stood in the distance, terrified.

"Didn't you say that harming her mother could turn her into a demon?"

The Regent said helplessly, "Why is her mother still alive and well? Is your poisonous insect really useful?"

"Logically speaking, the poison could have directly tortured his mother to death. This incident is strange, but don't worry, Your Highness. No one can cure this poison. It's not in heaven, so even God can't cure it."

"In that case, let's use our ultimate move. The sound of the zither can unleash the poison's greatest power."

The Taoist priest took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, Regent. She won't live long."

"This is our last bargaining chip."

The Regent sat in his chair, completely despairing after he lost his sight.

He only hopes that those who attacked him will receive the retribution they deserve. As for the throne, he no longer wants to think about it. After all, his loved ones are no longer around.

"What will happen if she breaks your insect poison?" The Regent couldn't help but ask.

He was really afraid of Wanwan. She felt as if everything in the world was under his control.

"That shouldn't be a problem." The Taoist priest said, "You have to trust me."

"Go get ready."

The Regent looked at him coldly, "This is the only way. It's obvious that her mother is very important to her."

*

Wanwan was still awake in the middle of the night, watching the stars on the roof. Xia Mochen was beside her, "Little princess, are you still awake?"

[Oh, how can I sleep? I still haven't found a solution, I'm so worried.]

[Is it true that the fate of my mother and father as cannon fodder cannot be changed?]

[It seems that if I let go, countless people will attack Longyan Nation. Now there is another country I want to protect.]

She didn't say a word, but all her thoughts were already in Xia Mochen's heart.

Xia Mochen sat on the roof, holding Wanwan in his arms. For more than two years, she was his master.

However, Xia Mochen had already considered Wanwan his closest relative. Seeing her joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, his mood would also change accordingly.

If she suffers, he will also suffer.

Others may think that she is like the moon in the sky, out of reach.

Noble and honorable, but only he knows that sometimes falling from a height is very painful.

This child, who was originally lying in his mother's arms drinking milk, was actually thinking about the major events in the world.

Living in the palace seems noble, but facing the rise and fall of the country, she worries about everything in these days that should be carefree.

"Brother Chen?"

Wanwan looked at him. In fact, it was very cold at night. However, Xia Mochen held her in his arms and she felt warm.

That kind of warmth made her feel at ease and gave her heart a moment of rest.

"Be good, life is never smooth sailing."

He stroked her hair and said, "There have been many times when I thought my life was over, but it seems like it's all over again."

[Hey, how does he know so much? Do I look like I'm thinking about this?]

Wanwan's eyes were rolling around.

[But Brother Chen’s voice is so pleasant, it seems to wash away all the fatigue.]

Xia Mochen felt warm in his heart. That was great. It seemed that he, the guard, was not just there to eat for nothing.

"Um……"
