Lu Wujiu took out the key from his hand and inserted it into the Buddhist prayer beads.

The altar beneath the Buddha statue slowly opened.

A cage pops out from inside.

The cage contained a woman whom Lu Wujiu did not recognize.

However... those imprisoned by the Empress Dowager must be her enemies, so Lu Wujiu immediately ordered someone to take them away for rescue.

He suspected that this person might be Xiao Changsheng's biological mother.

However, we'll have to wait and see after verification.

Most of the late emperor's women have been dismissed, and those with children have gone to their fiefdoms with their children. If you want to find someone to confirm this, you have to find the old eunuchs and nannies in the palace.

However, Lu Wujiu didn't trust any of the people living in the palace.

He said, "Go to Huangling and bring over the old eunuch who guards Huangling."

After Lu Wujiu finished speaking, Zhao Yan left the capital, and the imperial physicians began to treat the people who had been rescued from the cages.

Inside the Cining Palace.

The Empress Dowager slowly woke up.

Looking at the palace maid standing guard before him, he asked, "Where is the old nanny?"

"..." The palace maids trembled.

The person is already dead.

He died a horrible death, his eyes wide open in disbelief.

Such terror could be found deep within the palace.

"Empress Dowager, the Emperor has come to see you!"

The palace maid who had been guarding outside walked in and spoke, and all the palace maids inside relaxed the moment she opened her mouth.

The Emperor has arrived, and the Empress Dowager will be calmed down for the time being.

They can live a little longer.

The young emperor looked at the empress dowager's weathered face with surprise. How could she have changed so much in such a short time?

What did the assassin do just now? He scared everyone like that.

Changsheng said, "Your Majesty is only thirty years old. If you are in such poor health, you should rest and recuperate. Don't worry about state affairs. You are a woman, so you should take good care of your health!"

After Changsheng finished speaking,

He looked at the servants around him and said, "Take good care of her, and don't let the Empress Dowager catch a cold. It's bad for her health!"

With a single sentence from Changsheng, the Empress Dowager's future was probably already sealed.

I can't be happy anymore!

Can't be exposed to drafts, need to be taken good care of?

Is it genuine concern?

This is what disguised imprisonment looks like.

As Changsheng stepped out of the palace, the sun outside seemed even more dazzling.

He walked to the Hall of Mental Cultivation where he lived.

He changed into plain clothes and, accompanied by a eunuch, headed towards the Regent's Palace.

He had been to every corner of the Regent's Palace, and he felt a sense of warmth and familiarity as soon as he stepped through the gate.

Walk a few steps further in and you'll see a pagoda.

Changsheng immediately walked over with a smile.

Meanwhile, inside the inn.

The little girl's eyes widened.

So he really is his biological father!

“Yes!” Su Jiaoniang said.

Xiao Ya stood up and walked around the room.

It took me a while to process this news.

She looked at Su Jiaoniang with worry in her eyes: "Mother, it's a happy thing that Xiaoya has a father, but..."

Su Jiaoniang looked at Xiaoya, wanting to know what this child, who had grown up in love and protection, would say.

"But Mother, he's not the real regent, he's just an imposter. Besides us, there must be other people who know. What if, what if they find out, will he die?"

"..." Will I die?

Su Jiaoniang felt that most people in Qi wanted to kill him.

But there aren't many people who can actually kill him.

"Mother, won't we get implicated? Why don't we go back first and wait until he resolves things here before we talk about it!"

The little girl said timidly.

Su Jiaoniang patted the little girl on the head from behind.

"That's your father. Aren't you going to share the good times and the bad?"

“Mother, Xiaoya and her brother have never seen their father since they were born! Their father did not bring us happiness and joy, but instead brought us dangers everywhere.”

He is the father, and Xiaoya should thank him for giving birth to her.

But he's sorry!

Children also have memories.

Xiao Ya clearly remembers how her life was a few years ago.

If it weren't for my mother's sudden personality change...

She and her brother may have already turned into mud.

If a godfather is truly a godfather and has never wronged them, they will like this person as their father and may even get along better with him.

But he's his biological father, so some things have to be settled.

Xiao Ya shared her thoughts.

Su Jiaoniang gently patted the little girl's back. What has already happened can never be treated as a blank; children have their own mental ledger.

After experiencing certain things, you realize that the past doesn't matter, and the future is what you need to focus on.

But Xiaoya is still the innocent Xiaoya; her world should be as she imagines it to be.

Su Jiaoniang said, "If you don't like him and are angry, then just ignore him and let him atone for his sins, okay?"

"Okay!" the little girl nodded.

She thought her mother would tell her to be more tolerant and not to be too petty.

Mother is so good!

Xiao Ya kissed Su Jiao Niang on the cheek.

He then said, "Mother, I think Mr. Feng must be facing some kind of problem. Should we help him?"

"Does Xiaoya want to help Mr. Feng?"

"I want it!"

The little girl nodded.

Feng Yuwei spent more time with her than her own father.

It can be said that her values ​​were guided by Feng Yuwei.

How can we just stand by and watch a man like this get into trouble?

“Then let’s go ask Mr. Feng what problems he’s encountered,” Su Jiaoniang said.

The little girl nodded.

The two chatted and laughed in the inn until midnight, when Feng Yuwei finally dragged his tired body in from outside.
