Chapter 448 Strange Mother and Son
"Brain bag, be the emperor!"
"Brain bag, be the emperor!"
Little Jiuer also waved his little hands and called in a baby voice.
Ye Buwei touched Xiao Jiuer's little face and said, "Don't worry about this matter. There are more suitable people to sit on the throne of emperor."
"Who is it!" Little Dumpling said with a silly look on his face, "I disagree! No one is more suitable than Nao Baobao!"
"Of course, there is such a person." Ye Buwei smiled mysteriously.
The villagers suddenly understood and looked at Xiao Jiuer at the same time.
Could it be that the person more suitable than the Regent is Lord Xiaojiu?
"Does anyone still remember the words on the stone we dug out when we were planting fruit trees?" a villager asked.
"Remember, remember! I've always remembered it!" the village head said loudly.
"Just three sentences!"
"The first sentence is, when King Chen appears, the world will be settled!"
"Everyone didn't understand then, but now everyone understands! When Prince Chen appears, doesn't that mean the Regent will reappear? Once the Regent appears, the world will naturally be at peace!"
"That's exactly what happened!" Everyone was amazed.
"The second sentence: Heihe is the capital, and the world will prosper!"
"Isn't our Heihe City now based on what is meant by this statement? With the Regent in Heihe City, Heihe City is naturally the capital! The world will prosper!"
"This third sentence, Jiulin has come to the world, and the world is united!"
"Everyone said at the time that this was Master Xiaojiu's intention to rule the world!"
"It turns out that the heavens have already told everyone the answer! A regent will appear and bring peace to the world! Black River City will become the capital! And Lady Xiaojiu will rule the world!"
"Oh my God!" The villagers were so excited that their faces changed.
They are at ease no matter whether the world is ruled by the Regent or Lord Xiaojiu!
Now everything is progressing according to God's arrangement. I believe that it won't be long before Heihe City will really become the capital!
Happy! So happy!
It feels like I'm lucky!
The villagers of Yi Fu Village, in particular, were once again moved to tears by their own wise choice!
The place where they lived before was the capital, but they didn’t expect that after moving to Heihe City, Heihe City would become the capital again!
In the ecstatic atmosphere, the little dumpling waved his hands in confusion, "It's none of my business! I, I, I don't want the world! The world belongs to you guys! We kids just want a little sleep!"
The villagers laughed.
The village head wiped the excited tears from his face and said, "No day is worse than today. Everyone is so happy today, let's just go to the fish pond and drain the water to catch some fish!"
"Great!" The villagers of Heihe Village shouted happily.
The fish in the pond have been raised for so long, now is the time to harvest them.
"Let's go fishing!" Everyone rushed towards the fish pond in Heihe Village.
"Put on the clothes you use for shoveling snow, so you won't get wet!" Li was shouting from behind.
People from all over the place were envious. Their villages didn't have any fish ponds, so it seemed they would have to dig a fish pond next year.
“Do you sell fish?”
"Sell us a few too so we can try them!"
People from all over the place also came to join in the fun.
The people in Heihe City were celebrating, but the team returning to the capital seemed lonely and desolate.
Beside the empress dowager's carriage, several old ministers sat listlessly on the horses, listening absentmindedly to the empress dowager sobbing in the carriage.
"How could I have given birth to such a rebellious son? Now the Regent is at war with the imperial court. What do you think we should do?"
The old ministers sighed and groaned, but did not express their opinions.
The Queen Mother is not someone who is easy to deal with, so it is better for them to speak less to avoid getting into trouble.
"My dear nobles, the Xiao family's kingdom was hard-earned. Before the late emperor passed away, he held me and repeatedly instructed me to protect the Xiao family's kingdom. But now..."
"Empress Dowager." One minister couldn't help but say, "The Prince Regent, his surname is also Xiao."
The Queen Mother paused and said, "It seems that you all want the Regent to become the Emperor."
There was silence outside the window, and the ministers kept their mouths tightly shut.
"You don't have to do this." The Queen Mother stopped crying and seemed to have made up her mind. "This time, I will stand on the same side with you. Although the emperor is my own son, I cannot go against my conscience and protect him! Everything is the emperor's own fault, no one else is to blame!"
The old ministers were very surprised and exchanged glances with each other.
Although everyone knows that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor do not have a deep relationship as mother and son, but no matter what, the Empress Dowager is still the Emperor's biological mother. How could the Empress Dowager be willing to sacrifice her own family for the sake of justice and bring down the Emperor?
"I think this matter needs to be resolved quickly. After returning to the palace, while the emperor is still unaware, I will immediately control him and hand him over to the regent for the final decision. What do you think?"
The old ministers looked at each other in bewilderment. Is the Queen Mother really going to do this?
But when they remembered the Regent's instructions, they suddenly didn't want to get involved in this mess anymore.
"Your servants are terrified. As subjects, we cannot do such a thing that would disobey our master. Please forgive us, Queen Mother!"
"You...really disappoint me!" The Queen Mother snorted coldly, "Back off!"
The Queen Mother's carriage sped away.
The old ministers sneered, "The Queen Mother is really calculating. She wants to use us as pawns? No way!"
"She wants to use the name of the regent to take action against the emperor, but her real intention is to protect the Du family."
"The Empress Dowager is truly unbelievable. To protect the Du family, she is willing to sacrifice the Emperor?"
"I'm afraid these two mother and son are going to have a fight."
"Let's just do as the Regent said and wait and see what happens!"
…
Palace, night.
There was a crescent moon in the sky, and not a single star was visible.
"Your Majesty, there is a letter." Gao Sui walked over holding a small roll of notes.
The emperor, who was dozing on the couch, rubbed his brows and reached out to take it.
He casually opened the note, glanced at it, and suddenly his eyes widened and he sat up abruptly.
"Impossible... This is impossible..." The emperor's face turned pale and he was sweating profusely.
"What's wrong with you, Your Majesty? Are you feeling unwell?" Gao Sui was startled.
The emperor's teeth were chattering, his face was as pale as a ghost, and his lips were completely bloodless. He had an expression of fear that he had never had before.
Gao Sui was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, "I'll go see the imperial physician right away!"
The emperor ignored him, his eyes bulging and shaking like leaves in the autumn wind, his eyes fixed on the five words on the note -
The Regent is not dead.
