Take advantage of his illness to kill him.
When that time comes, as long as the medicinal ingredient is used to trigger the poison in the Regent's body, causing his death, then the world will truly belong to him.
The emperor was having a sweet dream when he saw the eunuch serving in the Hall of Diligent Governance walking over.
"Xiao Xiangzi, what are you doing here?" The emperor looked at the other party with annoyance and asked in a cold voice.
The saying "to hate a crow because of its nest" perfectly describes him.
Because the regent often handled government affairs on his behalf in the Hall of Diligent Governance, he also disliked the eunuchs in the hall, feeling that they were all the regent's people.
"Your Majesty, the Regent requests your presence."
"The Regent wants to see me?" The Emperor's expression was grim; he had been having a great time here. The Regent summoning him couldn't be anything good.
Just as he was about to get angry, he suddenly remembered that his men had gone to assassinate Yunzhi, and he immediately became happy again. He figured that the Regent must have known that something had happened to Yunzhi, which was why he had been summoned.
He's happy as long as the regent is unhappy.
With this in mind, the sixteen-year-old emperor happily followed Xiao Xiangzi to the Hall of Diligent Governance. But when he saw the Regent still reviewing memorials, his joy vanished instantly.
He expected to see a furious regent, but he was disappointed. The regent acted as if nothing had happened.
Could it be that Yunzhi is alright? Then why did he call me here?
Thinking of this, the emperor swaggered over, sat down next to the regent, and asked, "Regent, what brings you here?"
"Sit properly!" Dongli Lu Cang glanced at the emperor, who was sitting rudely, and said coldly, "As the emperor, what kind of behavior is this?"
"How am I being improper? Anyway, besides eating, drinking and having fun, I don't need anything else."
Seeing the emperor's self-destructive attitude, Dongli Lucang lost interest in lecturing him. After all, this man was single-mindedly convinced that the emperor would seize his throne; saying anything more wouldn't change anything.
If it weren't for the fact that the late emperor had treated him well, and if it weren't for not wanting to see the people of the world displaced, why would he have taken on this responsibility?
However, now is not the time to discuss this. Yunzhi might be in danger, and he was worried about her; he needed to go check on her. But these memorials still needed to be dealt with.
Therefore, he suppressed his displeasure and looked at the emperor, saying, "Since Your Majesty is so free, then I'll leave the rest of the memorials to you. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first."
The emperor was stunned for a long time as he watched Dongli Lucang leave after speaking.
It wasn't until Dongli Lucang had walked far away that he came to his senses, and then, looking at the mountain of memorials, he was somewhat at a loss.
Honestly, although he hated the regent's usurpation of power, he had to admit that he was quite comfortable not having to ask about anything every day.
But now, he's being asked to review memorials, and he's not really keen on doing it.
Dongli Lu Cang didn't care whether the emperor agreed or not; it was originally his business. Now that he'd taken on the responsibility himself, the other party wasn't even grateful.
Perfect timing! He could use this opportunity to return the burden to him and let him properly fulfill his duties as emperor.
After leaving the palace, Dongli Lucang did not return to his residence. Instead, he mounted his horse and galloped out of the city.
Although Mingyi had already sent people to protect Yunzhi, he was still somewhat worried. He needed to go and check on her himself; otherwise, he wouldn't feel at ease.
Outside the city, Rulan and Rumei did not disappoint Yunzhi, quickly defeating the assassins surrounding them.
