"The Queen Mother is here!" the eunuch outside the door shouted loudly, and then the Queen Mother walked in.
"How can you take care of His Majesty? It's study time now. Can you take responsibility if you delay His Majesty's studies?" The Queen Mother yelled at the teachers who were teaching Xiao Jiran, and successfully woke up the little emperor.
When Xiao Jiran was half asleep, he caught a glimpse of the empress dowager out of the corner of his eye and sat up in fright.
"And you, it's fine if you don't want to study, but I didn't find a tutor for you to serve as a cushion for you!" After the empress dowager finished scolding, she picked up the little emperor like a chicken.
Xiao Jiran didn't dare to say a word of rebuttal when he was picked up.
"Aren't you going a bit too far by doing this?" Lu Wan didn't know where he got the courage from, and he just stood in front of Xiao Jiran.
The Queen Mother obviously did not expect that this person who had previously avoided showing up would actually stand up for someone she had just met for one day.
The only thing that can sway her is interests. After all, she is a person who is greedy for power. In this case, it is much easier to win her over than to kill her.
"Sister..." Xiao Jiran pulled Lu Wan's sleeve from behind. He was afraid that he would lose his hard-earned sister after making such a fuss.
But I didn't expect that Lu Wan would actually stand up this time and refuse to back down. Perhaps the original owner's will had a certain influence on her.
"You are really rebellious. Do you have to judge what I do?" The Queen Mother slapped Lu Wan in the face with such force that he staggered.
Xiao Jiran knelt down directly behind him, "Mother, I know I was wrong. It's all my fault. It has nothing to do with Miss Lu Wan."
In fact, this is what the Queen Mother wanted to say. She found that the little guy was getting more and more opinionated as he grew older and began to become disobedient, so she wanted to use Lu Wan to suppress him. After all, compared to the emperor, everything else took a back seat.
To him, this son was nothing more than a tool to fight for power, and all the mother-son affection disappeared in the struggle for power.
"Lu Wanqing, please leave first. I am educating my son and I don't need you to interfere." The Queen Mother directly ordered him to leave, but Lu Wan had no intention of leaving.
Lu Wan just stood in front of Xiao Jiran and protected him tightly, like a mother hen protecting her chicks.
The Queen Mother was obviously very dissatisfied with Lu Wan’s behavior, but she gave Shen Yan face.
"Don't be ungrateful. He is the emperor and also my son!" The Queen Mother slapped Lu Wan again, but this time he dodged it.
"Empress Dowager, I did not fight back the first time out of respect for you. This time, you went too far." Lu Wan had no expression on his face, he just stood in front of Xiao Jiran calmly.
The Queen Mother didn't want to cause any trouble because of this matter, so she left in anger.
"Don't be afraid, Jiran, it's okay, your sister is here." Lu Wan turned to comfort the little emperor, but Xiao Jiran was obviously too frightened.
Lu Wan's deeds in the palace were soon spread out, so that as soon as Lu Wan walked out of the Yangxin Palace, all the guards and maids around him stared at Lu Wan.
Because of this incident, Xiao Jiran was locked up in the Yangxin Palace and was not allowed to come in or out at will. Lu Wan wanted to protest, but was stopped by the little emperor. The reason was simple: he didn't want to have contact with anyone other than his sister anyway.
"Your Majesty, I did something wrong today. I contradicted the Queen Mother because of Ji Ran's matter." Lu Wan told Chen Yan about this matter when he returned to the palace.
Offending the Queen Mother was no small matter. He was worried about causing more trouble for Shen Yan, although he had already done what he needed to do...
"It's okay, you did a good job." Shen Yan's expression could be described as happy. Sometimes Lu Wan really couldn't see through his emotions. He should have been worried about something, but the other party seemed to be confident of winning.
Lu Wan nodded as usual, but she didn't expect that her inner voice betrayed her. When she was about to leave, she was stopped by Shen Yan.
"Don't you want to ask me why? From the look of you, you don't understand what I'm doing." Shen Yan took Lu Wan's feelings into consideration and said it very tactfully, but it still made her feel extremely embarrassed.
How does this person know what he is thinking? It seemed like there were no secrets in front of him every day, and he knew everything clearly.
Lu Wan started to wonder in her heart again, not knowing that the more she couldn't figure it out, the more Shen Yan knew.
"Your Highness must have his own reasons for doing this, and I will not interfere." Lu Wan turned around and left in a huff.
She doesn't want to know. The sooner he dies, the sooner he will be reborn. Who would care about his life or death? If he dies, it would be better to turn him into a mummy for research!
Chen Yan held his forehead with his hand. Why did this guy always want to turn him into a mummy? Wasn't his beautiful body fragrant anymore...
Shen Yan shook his head, thinking that he was not as knowledgeable as this person, and then said: "Since the Queen Mother played this drama and placed you next to the little emperor, there must be something fishy about it."
Lu Wan didn't comment upon hearing this, but he was still worried. Isn't this nonsense? Why would they go to such great lengths just to give her a promotion? No one would believe that the Queen Mother would be so kind.
"So, even if you contradict her, she won't do anything to you for a while, not to mention..." Chen Yan paused, and pulled out a mischievous smile, "That witch has been accustomed to being flattered for so many years, and now it's a good opportunity for you to piss her off."
Seeing this, Lu Wan widened her eyes in disbelief. The person she was talking back to was the Empress Dowager! If she was just an ordinary empress dowager, it would be fine, but she was an empress dowager who ruled the country from behind the curtain and controlled the government. She had been stirring up trouble in the court for so many years, which shows how scheming she was.
She had offended her in a fit of impulse, and if anything had happened she would have lost her life, but in his words she was just using it to piss her off? My cheeks are still burning with pain.
This dead tyrant, Lu Wan gritted his teeth and could only comfort himself in his heart: Don't worry, don't worry, he will be nothing but a dried corpse in the future, and then he will use this to vent his anger!
When Shen Yan heard these thoughts, his expression changed several times. He found it funny at one moment, but also found this guy irritating. After saying so much, he still couldn't get away from the mummy. It seemed that he needed to let her know with his own actions that his living body could not compare to that of a mummy.
Thinking of this, Shen Yan suddenly walked towards Lu Wan. The latter became confused and retreated repeatedly. He took a step back, and Shen Yan took another step closer, until he retreated to the wall and had nowhere to retreat. The distance between the two gradually narrowed, and the atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous.
Lu Wan was extremely confused. Why did this bastard start to act like a hooligan while talking? Looking at the delicate features of the man in front of him and the faint smile on his lips, Lu Wan felt something strange in his heart, as if some emotions were about to burst out.
