Nanny Hua was even more panicked than the Empress Dowager.
Originally, she was from the Empress Dowager's mother's family. Later, the emperor's father-in-law and his son were killed, and the entire family was exiled, including her children.
She was always worried about bringing up old issues, and was also concerned that her life would be difficult after the Queen Mother fell out of favor.
After all, the empress dowager is the emperor's biological mother, so who am I?
But she had no choice but to sigh: "My Lady, I am old now, if something really happened, it would be fine, but you are still young..."
She hasn't given up yet and wants the Queen Mother to seduce the Regent.
The Queen Mother understood what Aunt Hua said and was embarrassed: "I think what the Regent said to me that day also makes sense."
"If I go again... I'm afraid he will be angry."
Aunt Hua acted like an experienced person: "When a man is young and just starts to taste the flavor, he doesn't know that all flowers have different shapes and forms."
"Once he finds out, we won't be able to leave each other..."
"Have you ever seen anyone in a high position of power who doesn't have three wives and four concubines when he reaches a certain age?"
"If men in this world are truly loyal, it's probably because they have never tasted the joy of it..."
The Empress Dowager's cheeks turned red when she heard this, and she nodded as if possessed by some unknown force.
After the court session, according to convention, Cui Changan would take the little emperor to the imperial study to read memorials and teach him about state affairs.
The little emperor could not read, so Cui Changan asked Eunuch A Zhong to read to him.
The little emperor seemed to understand what he said, but Cui Changan quickly gave his opinion, then approved it and sent it to the next book.
Whenever he felt it was necessary, he would tell the little emperor "what the memorial said and why it was dealt with in that way".
The little emperor still seemed to understand, and he nodded and looked at Cui Changan devoutly.
In the eyes of the little emperor, Cui Changan was more like his father.
When the late emperor was alive, he would occasionally hold Min'er when he had time, but more often he would just do it on a whim. He would hold her and caress her for a few moments like he would play with a cat or a dog, coax her a few words, and then leave her alone.
Min'er thought to herself that she had behaved so well, but the late emperor couldn't see it.
Min'er always feels disappointed when receiving insincere and perfunctory compliments.
The regent was different. He would look at him seriously and ask him from time to time: "Do you understand? Is there anything you don't understand?"
If I tell him what I don't understand, he will break it down and explain it again...
Cui Changan read two memorials, and seeing Min'er's eyes fixed and the corners of his mouth smiling strangely, he couldn't help but pause: "Your Majesty? Do you understand?"
Min Er came back to his senses, smiled sheepishly, and suddenly said: "Prince Regent, you really look like my father!"
Cui Changan was startled and asked seriously, "Who taught you this?"
Min Er was also startled and looked at Cui Changan in fear: "No...no one taught me that."
"This is the first time someone has taught me so patiently, Min'er..."
"Even when my father was alive, he never taught me so seriously..."
"How great would it be if you were really my father?"
The little emperor walked up to Cui Changan, grabbed his robe and shook it gently: "Prince Regent, when there is no one else around, can I call you father?"
It was impossible for anyone to refuse a little child looking at him with such admiration.
But how could Cui Changan dare? !
He sighed and held the little emperor in his arms: "Your Majesty, you are the master of this world. You must never say such words again."
"If anyone hears this, they will accuse me of coveting the throne, and I will be beheaded."
But Min Er didn't think so: "I don't understand the country and government affairs, you are in charge of everything, you should be the emperor, I just want to be your son..."
Cui Changan wanted to say something, but there was a sudden knock on the door of the imperial study, and the eunuch outside the door shouted, "The Empress Dowager wants to see you."
Cui Changan frowned, but finally shouted, "Come in."
When the door opened, the Queen Mother came in personally carrying two desserts.
The milk given to Min'er was purple sweet potato milk, and the milk given to Cui Chang'an was bird's nest milk.
Cui Changan frowned habitually: "If the Queen Mother has something to say, just send someone to tell her, you don't have to come in person."
The Queen Mother's eyes instantly turned red again, and she looked aggrieved.
"I feel sorry for the Emperor and the Regent who are working so hard to govern the country, so I sent some desserts over. Is that not okay?"
The little emperor looked at his mother and then at the regent, and finally mustered up his courage.
"Mother, please put down the dessert. Min'er loves it."
"Prince Regent, try some too...it's delicious."
Cui Changan remembered Xiao Wu's reminder and was reluctant to drink: "I don't want to drink it for now, leave it alone."
The Queen Mother looked aggrieved: "Why? Are you afraid that I'll put something unclean in there?"
"If the emperor were here, I wouldn't have reached this point."
Cui Changan: ...That makes sense.
He lowered his head to look at Min'er and met Min'er's pleading look.
Forget it, give the little emperor some face.
He picked up the bird's nest milk and drank it all in one gulp.
When everything in front of his eyes went dark, he remembered Xiao Wu's words and regretted his decision.
Some women have no bottom line.
He heard the little emperor's exclamation, and heard the Queen Mother persuading the little emperor: "Min'er, don't you want the Regent to be your father?"
"Then Min'er, be good and go to the back hall first..."
The Queen Mother abducted Min'er away, and then stared at Eunuch A Zhong, forcing him to go to the back hall.
She finally felt relieved: she had just sent Xiao Wu away, and now she had an incense stick of time...
That's enough.
Just as she was undressing and about to attack Cui Changan, Min'er arrived with Xiao Wu and the Golden Scale Guards.
Facing the terrified and disbelieving gaze of the Queen Mother, Xiao Wu didn't waste any words and simply chopped her neck with a knife.
After knocking the Empress Dowager unconscious, Xiao Wu waved her hand and said, "Send her back to the Cining Palace."
"The Queen Mother is seriously ill. She will be confined to the Cining Palace to recuperate from now on."
"Golden Scale Guards, go check. Who gave the Queen Mother this stupid idea?"
"After finding out, just kill him."
After the Queen Mother was carried away, Xiao Wu went to check on Cui Changan, only to find that he was still somewhat conscious.
He saw Xiao Wu's face and spoke with all his strength: "Xiao Wu..."
When he opened his mouth, it was full of blood!
Then Cui Changan fainted with relief.
Xiao Wu was shocked and quickly opened his mouth to take a closer look. She also took his pulse and found out that the blood in his mouth was from biting his tongue.
In order to keep himself awake, he even hurt himself!
Xiao Wu couldn't help but curse: "Damn it!"
Min'er was watching all this next to Xiaowu, her face turned pale with fright and her fists clenched.
"Aunt Xiaowu, will the Regent be okay?"
Xiao Wu knew that the child was precocious, so she didn't hide it: "He was drugged, and in order to stay awake, he bit his tongue..."
"Don't worry, I'll detoxify him and give him medicine, and he'll be fine."
Min'er breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time became worried.
"Aunt Xiaowu, my mother did something wrong. Can you just punish her? Don't kill her?"
Xiao Wu turned her head and glanced at Min'er. The fear and confusion in the child's eyes made her heart soften instantly.
If he hadn't blew the Golden Scale Whistle that only the Golden Scale Guards could hear, he wouldn't have gotten back so quickly.
It was Min'er who protected Cui Chang'an's innocence.
This child is stuck in the middle, feeling awkward...so pitiful.
"Okay, I promise I won't kill her."
Xiao Wu reached out and rubbed the top of his head: "You go to the back hall with Eunuch Zhong now. I want to detoxify the Regent."
"Yes." Min'er was relieved and followed Eunuch A Zhong to the back hall.
Listening to the faint groan of pain from the Regent in the front hall, Min'er was at a loss.
"Ah Zhong, do you think the Regent will be okay?"
Eunuch Zhong: "Your Majesty, with Commander Fu here, the Regent will be fine."
"The Regent is so kind to me and my mother, why did my mother drug the Regent?"
Ah Zhong: ...
Your Majesty, how can I explain some things to a three-year-old child like you?
I am useless and can't explain it clearly! (End of this chapter)
