When Lin Yushu first arrived at the Cining Palace, she saw the Ninth Prince Lin Xiang. His face was filled with anxiety, but when he saw Lin Yushu coming back, he finally smiled: "Mother, you're back."
Lin Xiang was the old emperor's last child, the child of a palace maid. The old emperor did not designate anyone to raise him, so he had always been in the queen's palace until Lin Yushu entered the palace, and he became Lin Yushu's adopted son.
Lin Yushu looked down at him: "Why don't you go back to your bedroom? What are you doing here?"
Lin Xiang lowered his head: "Will my mother be like my father and mother, and leave me alone?"
Lin Yushu lowered his head and looked at him with a smile in his eyes: "No."
Thinking of how the child blamed her when he grew up, and even stood by and watched her die, Lin Yushu felt a little unhappy.
But Lin Yushu didn't want to argue with him. He was just an emperor who was destined to abdicate and a puppet without any power. What was there to be afraid of?
Lin Yushu only found out in his previous life that this child had his own little thoughts. After all, in the harem, a prince without a backer would have died long ago if he didn't have any scheming.
Lin Yushu lowered his head and saw through what the Ninth Prince was thinking at a glance.
Before the old emperor died, he gave her a lot of secret power and asked her to recognize Mu Chenyi as her father-in-law. In fact, he wanted her to monitor Mu Chenyi.
To restrain him and prevent him from making any rash moves, but the old emperor never considered that what Lin Yushu wanted was not the position of empress dowager.
All the honor and disgrace of the empress dowager depended on the emperor. After suffering so many losses, the last thing Lin Yushu wanted was to pin all her hopes on other people.
Lin Yushu lowered his head, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
The little emperor looked at Lin Yushu with a smile and said, "Has your mother had dinner yet? If not, your son will have some with you."
Lin Yushu noticed that the little emperor used an unquestionable affirmative tone in his next sentence. Lin Yushu knew that the little emperor was trying to establish his authority and tell her that he was the emperor now and not a child in front of her.
But Lin Yushu was too lazy to deal with him. He was too naive, so naive that Lin Yushu didn't want to expose his thoughts.
After all, Lin Yushu really has no interest in such an opponent.
Lin Yushu chuckled: "I have already eaten and want to rest. Emperor, please go back. You have been tired all day and you should rest too."
The little emperor's face changed. He had not expected Lin Yushu to ignore him. He felt uneasy, but he did not dare to say anything at this moment. He only said: "Since the queen mother is tired, then your son will withdraw first. I will come to pay my respects to the queen mother tomorrow."
Lin Yushu lowered his eyes and looked at the little emperor, sneering: "I am not feeling well and cannot get up in the morning. You should rest well. Children need to rest well to grow taller."
The little emperor lowered his head and clenched his fists. He couldn't get up early? Then what should he do with the morning court?
You clearly don't want to go to court, but you still talk about growing taller. Do you think he will believe you?
Lin Yushu saw the little emperor's reluctance and raised the corner of his lips: "Be obedient. I don't like disobedient children."
Does the little emperor already have delusions of power at such a young age?
But it doesn't matter, I will make him give up this idea.
Lin Yushu slowly walked into his palace and was helped by Nanny Wang to sit on the couch and close his eyes to rest.
Nanny Wang sighed, "Your Majesty, weren't you too harsh on His Majesty today? His Majesty just lost his father. If you continue to be so cold, what if..."
Lin Yushu shook her head: "Madam, don't worry. The emperor may be young, but he is very thoughtful. Mu Chenyi is not someone to be trifled with. If he were to face Mu Chenyi, I'm afraid he would be completely eaten up."
Nanny Wang sighed, "Before the Empress committed suicide, she told me to protect the Empress Dowager. No matter what you do, I will support you."
Even if it goes against the will of the world.
The Queen Mother was so virtuous throughout her life, but what did she get in return?
A lost daughter cannot be found, and even if she is found, she cannot be recognized.
Even if they recognized each other, he could not openly call her mother.
The old emperor at least had some conscience and brought His Highness into the palace so that he and His Highness could get along.
It’s a pity for Your Highness that he can never get married or have his own children in this life.
Lin Yushu looked at the sky outside and chuckled, "I believe you, Nanny Wang."
This old woman died at the hands of Mu Chenyi for her in her previous life. If she doesn't trust her, who else can she trust?
Lin Yushu knocked on the table in front of him, and immediately someone knelt silently in front of him. Nanny Wang was not surprised, because Lin Yushu was in charge of the old emperor's secret guards.
If the Jinyiwei are the ones who monitor all officials in the open, then the dark guard battalion controlled by Lin Yushu is the knife in the dark.
Since entering the palace, Lin Yushu has been the master of this secret guard camp.
He has been doing things for the old emperor that cannot be done openly.
Lin Yushu looked at An Yi and smiled: "Come here."
An Yi knelt a few steps and came in front of Lin Yushu, with his head lowered and extremely respectful. His neck was slightly raised. If Lin Yushu wanted, he could even directly break his throat.
Lin Yushu looked down at him and said, "Keep a close eye on the little emperor. Don't let him die. Write down everything he does every day. It will be useful to me."
An Yi lowered his head and said respectfully, "Yes."
Lin Yushu closed his eyes. An Yi had quickly disappeared in front of him, and no one knew where he went.
A sleepless night
Lin Yushu woke up in the morning and found that she had fallen asleep on the couch last night. She fell asleep and Nanny Wang didn't dare to move her, so she was still on the couch.
She got out of bed with the help of Nanny Wang. Although the old emperor was dead, the affairs of state could not be neglected.
There is also a coronation ceremony for the little emperor that needs to be held, but Lin Yushu and Mu Chenyi do not want to hold a coronation ceremony for the little emperor.
Lin Yushu didn't want the little emperor to be the emperor. If he took the throne himself, Lin Yushu could imagine the resistance that would arise.
After all, in this world, the status of women is very low. Women regard chastity as beauty and believe that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent. It is very difficult for women to hold power.
What's more, he was the emperor?
If you are not careful, they will accuse you of being a hen crowing at dawn.
However, Lin Yushu did not think that he could not do it. After all, as long as he controlled the Dark Guard Camp, the leader of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Su Wuzheng, was a eunuch. If he wanted to rise to prominence, he could only get close to Lin Yushu.
The young emperor had no real power, but he was very arrogant and had offended him before.
And Mu Chenyi simply looked down on him.
Lin Yushu is just as good as him, but will use him more.
