The prince's life will surely be even more difficult.

Thinking about all this, Zhao Han became even more dedicated, never taking his eyes off Chu Yuyan.

Night fell.

Chu Yuyan stepped into the bathtub.

The finest seven-colored petals floated on the water's surface, her long black hair was loosened, and her milk-white skin was immersed in the water.

Zhao Han covered his eyes.

I just feel that monitoring this matter is extremely difficult.

Should you watch a woman taking a bath?

He doesn't seem very manly.

Even if they didn't look, it wouldn't be considered following the prince's orders; they didn't take their eyes off him for a single second.

The sound of water splashing filled my ears.

Zhao Han suddenly flew away from the tree.

I can't hold on any longer.

Do not look at what is improper.

Although he was on a surveillance mission, staring at a young girl like that made it difficult for him to stand up straight.

He summoned a female bodyguard to watch Chu Yuyan take a bath.

He didn't switch places with the others until Chu Yuyan finished taking a bath.

The female bodyguard stared at Zhao Han: "Your mind is in turmoil. When we are on duty, we do not distinguish between men and women. If we are free from gender in our minds, we will naturally be able to carry out our tasks effectively."

"Easier said than done!" There are only a few women like Chu Yuyan.

Isn't it normal to feel flustered?

However, being mentally disturbed does not mean you can neglect your duties.

“Commander Zhao, this is not a good thing! This woman almost became our master’s woman, your mind is too wandering!” the female guard said.

Zhao Han shook his head.

Chu Yuyan never entered the prince's heart.

How to address a woman as her master.

Of all the so-called "master's women," he had only ever seen one, and the master had only approved of her.

Staring at Chu Yuyan, whose hair was wrung out and whose face was bare, his thoughts fluttered slightly.

If the affairs of the court are settled, could we speak to the prince and bestow this beautiful and charming woman upon him?

"..." If Zhao Yan were here right now.

They would definitely think Zhao Han was overthinking things.

Even if the prince doesn't care.

Do the people here not care about the prince?

Once a woman falls in love, it's hard for her to control what she might do.

Will Chu Yu-yan let go?

Who knows!

If you can't let go, you'll be killed.

Pure feelings cannot withstand any unexpected events.

Jun Wujiu returned to the palace, changed into his court robes, and headed towards the imperial palace.

The city walls with their green tiles and red walls, the large water vats in the palace, and the mottled marble on the ground seem to tell some ancient story.

Changsheng, dressed in a dragon robe, looked at the people standing below.

On his small shoulders rested the weight of an entire dynasty.

Changsheng, who was originally chubby and could cook simple food, has now become extremely serious. His childish face shows that he has gained a lot of awareness and understanding of his status and position.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"What is it?" Changsheng asked, his voice indifferent.

The babyish tone in his voice faded, replaced by an air of authority.

"Your Majesty, as the Regent, is a prince of a nation, and every action he takes will serve as a model for the people. Today, there are rumors that the dignified Regent is homosexual. How can such behavior lead the people of the world? I believe that the Regent's actions are inappropriate. He should marry a concubine and take many wives to continue the family line and become a role model for the people."

"When did Minister Chi become a censor? I have many people around me keeping a close eye on him. Instead of wasting time on this, you should keep an eye on the Ministry of Revenue. It is said that the Luxi area has suffered from drought for years and has no harvest. Instead of thinking about disaster relief, you are watching me. Do you not want to take charge of the Ministry of Revenue, or do you want to be a censor? If you have any ideas, just tell the Emperor. I think the Emperor will not make things difficult for you."

Lu Wujiu spoke.

Their gazes fell on Changsheng.

Changsheng's gaze fell on Minister Chi of the Ministry of Revenue.

"One must fulfill one's responsibilities in one's position. Lord Chi doesn't care about the common people and only focuses on the Regent. Why not go and become a steward in the Regent's Palace? That would be a good fit for his job!"

"Your Majesty!" The Empress Dowager, sitting to the side, frowned.

National affairs are not to be treated like a game between an uncle and nephew.

"Mother, do you think my judgment is wrong? Lord Chi is not addressing the disaster relief issue, nor is he raising funds, leaving the people of Great Qi to live in misery."

If I weren't a child.

They certainly won't be merciful.

He must be taken out and beheaded as a warning to the public.

"I am still a child, I cannot be so cruel. Sending him to be the prince's steward is already merciful enough. Does Mother have any other suggestions?"

"Your Majesty, Lord Chi is merely acting out of concern. The Regent's marriage is a matter of national interest. It is not a private matter; it concerns the reputation of the Great Qi royal family. Everyone should pay attention to and protect it. I do not believe that Lord Chi has made any mistake. Whether the rumors circulating are mere hearsay or baseless, the Regent, as someone involved in the matter, must give me an explanation. The royal family's reputation cannot be tarnished. If the Regent is not homosexual, he should hand over the man to prove himself. If he is truly homosexual, the great Qi cannot have such a person. Your Majesty should grant the Regent a marriage."

"Is that so?" Lu Wujiu's cold gaze fell on the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager felt a chill in her heart.

Thinking of something, I calmed down again.

Lu Wujiu smiled and said, "I've heard that the Empress Dowager and the palace maids have some unspeakable matters between them, including the fact that the Empress Dowager did not bear any children for the late Emperor. The Empress Dowager of Great Qi should set an example for women and bear children for men. If she cannot bear children, then she is not worthy of the mandate of the Empress Dowager of Great Qi. If the Empress Dowager can bear children, then you can prove it!"

“You…” Hearing Lu Wujiu’s filthy words.

The Empress Dowager's anger flared, and she slammed her hand on the armrest of the chair.

Lu Wujiu sneered!

"What about me? Am I wrong? As the Empress Dowager, I have failed in my duty. Shouldn't I commit suicide to clear my name?"

Lu Wujiu spoke again.

It has a rather aggressive tone.

Many people in the court took a step back.

What utter nonsense!

Even a proper scholar couldn't explain it.

However, some people think that such remarks make a lot of sense.

Whether to have children or not, and with whom, is entirely up to one's own body and one's own decision. Why should others comment on it? The Empress Dowager commented on the Regent, and was there anything wrong with the Regent refuting her comments?

It sounds like there's no problem.

Changsheng, sitting on the dragon throne, swallowed hard and wrote down Lu Wujiu's words one by one.

There may be an opportunity to use it in the future.

Of course, if he could, he would choose not to use it.

"Gu Xizhou!" The Empress Dowager's eyes turned red with anger.

Lu Wujiu's gaze fell on the Empress Dowager: "Empress Dowager, do you wish to prove your innocence?"

"Your Majesty, how can you stand idly by after I have been so humiliated by him? If you cannot protect me, then you are being unfilial!"

The Empress Dowager spoke.

The people in the court took another step back.

The Empress Dowager is forcing the Emperor.

The Emperor's lips parted slightly as he whispered, "Mother, you are my elder, and I should be filial to you in private. But the Regent is also my uncle, and he is also an elder. Does that mean I should be filial to my uncle but not to my mother? I don't know the answer to this question!"

After the young emperor finished speaking, he looked at Minister Chi of the Ministry of Revenue.

He asked, "Lord Chi, do you think I should be more filial to the Regent, who shares the same clan and surname, or to the Empress Dowager, who is not of the same clan?"
