But it was obvious that the little emperor had already made up his mind and would not give up the idea just because of his repeated interruptions.
Seeing that the topic was back on track, the little emperor was not as embarrassed as before. "What I actually want to say is that I have always lived under the arrangement of the Empress Dowager. She wanted me to study, so I studied. She wanted me to be a concubine, so I did as she said. But sometimes, I would get angry about her arrangements because those were not what I wanted. I don't want to be a puppet of the Empress Dowager."
The little emperor became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and his expression became more and more vicious, which made Lu Wan tremble with fear when she entered the capital. She had never known that a child who always smiled on the surface could have such complicated emotions in his heart.
The little emperor naturally noticed Lu Wan's surprised expression, but he didn't intend to just stop talking. He had been holding these words in his heart for a long time, and his emotions that were about to explode had found an outlet, so naturally he had to say everything that was in his heart.
"The time I helped my sister in the dungeon was the first and only time I went against the wishes of the Empress Dowager. I thought I would never be able to do it in my lifetime, but I said those words so easily." The little emperor glanced at Lu Wan, and the emotion in his heart almost made Lu Wan run away. "Later, I thought about it for a long time, and finally figured out why I had the courage to say that sentence. It was because you, my sister, held my hand and gave me the courage."
The little emperor looked at Lu Wan, his eyes full of eagerness, "Sister, although I am the emperor, I don't trust anyone in this palace. They can be used by me today, but tomorrow they can tell the Empress Dowager everything I have done. Sister, I am afraid."
When Lu Wan heard this, his heart was filled with emotion. After all, the little emperor was still a child. In the era when he lived in, children of his age were still worried about how to get through the exams.
At a moment when her sympathy was overflowing, Lu Wan extended her hand to the little emperor. She regretted it for a moment, but before she could show her regret, the little emperor held her hand as if it was the last straw.
Noticing that the little emperor's hands were trembling slightly, Lu Wan's heart softened all of a sudden.
The little emperor was pushing it further, "Sister, can you help me?"
Lu Wan had already created an image of the little emperor in her mind as a little cabbage that no one loved or cared for. When she heard the little emperor's voice out of the blue, she subconsciously asked, "What?"
Thinking that Lu Wan didn't understand what he said, the little emperor then explained, "My father left a will, asking me to rule the country when I was thirteen years old, but you have seen that the Empress Dowager has no intention of returning the power to me."
Lu Wan nodded secretly. She didn't wait to admit it. The little emperor understood this very well.
If the Queen Mother really wanted to return power, she would not have waited until this moment.
"So I thought—"
When Lu Wan nodded secretly, the little emperor spoke again, "I want to take back what belongs to me, sister, I need your help."
After saying the last sentence, the little emperor looked at Lu Wan's expression nervously.
For a moment, Lu Wan wanted to agree, but then he thought, what could he do to help the little emperor?
History is destined to move forward. The Southern Xia Dynasty will collapse, and the era of Chen Yan will begin. What's the point of struggling so much?
"Your Majesty, I--" Lu Wan stood up in panic and opened his mouth, but didn't know how to refuse this child who had helped him many times.
Looking at those eyes full of hope, Lu Wan could only say, "Let me think about it again."
Originally, the little emperor thought that Lu Wanhui had rejected him outright, but he didn't expect to receive such good news. A flash of surprise flashed across his face, and he couldn't wait to ask, "Really, Sister Lu? Are you really willing to help me?"
Looking at the little emperor like this, Lu Wan felt relieved for him being so old, but at the same time, he couldn't help but pour a basin of cold water on him, "Don't be too happy too early, I just said I would go back and think about it, I haven't said I will agree yet."
The little emperor seemed not to hear these words and just smiled at her.
Lu Wan's heart was filled with sorrow. Really, could he not have so much confidence in her? What if she couldn't do anything?
Besides, she hasn't agreed yet.
Thinking about all sorts of things in his mind, Lu Wan rubbed the little emperor's face. He had sold everyone to him, so what was wrong with rubbing his face?
The little emperor's face was kneaded into two buns. He spoke with difficulty, "Sister Lu, my face hurts, and there are eunuchs and palace maids here."
If people see him like this, what dignity will he have?
Lu Wan burst out laughing, then mercifully let go of his hand and patted the little emperor on the shoulder again.
"When you sent someone to tell me to come to the palace, I thought something serious had happened and I was shocked. Now that I see you are fine, I feel relieved."
The little emperor smiled when he heard this, "Don't worry, sister. I'm not that fragile."
Lu Wan knew this, but when she thought of what the little emperor was about to do, she still reminded him, "After all, the Queen Mother has been in power for many years and has accumulated a lot of prestige and connections in the court. Although you want to seize power now, you must lie low and not show your hand until you are sure to win."
Otherwise, with the Queen Mother's mind, if she knew that her son was the leader who opposed her, who knows how big a trouble would be caused.
In order not to put pressure on the child, Lu Wan did not say the last sentence.
The little emperor just responded with a smile. Then a little eunuch trotted in and said a few words into the little emperor's ear.
