Chapter 502 Reasoning with the main villain? That's impossible.
Even though Xiao Tang knew her request was unreasonable, she still wanted to cup his handsome face and act coquettishly.
"Husband, hurry up, hurry up~~"
[If I'm spoiled enough, you'll have to listen to me, hehehehe.]
She didn't know why she suddenly had this idea, wanting to see the villain with red eyes and tears.
That must be...monstrous.
Di Jingling frowned.
If you really ask him to cry, he really can't.
After all, a grown man, especially a regent, can't just cry whenever he wants.
Not everyone has Xiao Tang's amazing acting skills, able to burst into tears so easily.
Xiao Tang probably realized this as well, and just then she saw his frowning expression, so she could only weakly pout and say, "Fine, if my husband can't cry now, then so be it."
[You'll cry someday, huh.]
Xiao Tang released his face, inwardly scoffing.
In Di Jingling's eyes, she looked both cute and charming like a young girl, and a little arrogant.
He certainly enjoyed her just the way she was.
Playful, cute, gentle—she was his beloved in every way.
Xiao Tang stood up. "Is anything happening in the palace? Has the newly appointed Imperial Advisor done anything wrong?"
"What trouble could a mere imperial advisor possibly cause?"
Xiao Tang also thought that Di Jingling's answer made no problem.
Can……
"I always felt that the Grand Preceptor was an ominous sign; his appearance foreshadowed..."
Before Xiao Tang could finish speaking, he covered her mouth.
He got up and came to her without her noticing, and gently covered her mouth.
"Shh, don't talk nonsense. How can you talk nonsense about something like this?"
Xiao Tang looked at him with utter astonishment.
Isn't the main villain supposed to be someone who isn't superstitious?
I've actually become quite superstitious today...
Strange, strangely so.
Xiao Tang nodded without saying a word.
The man covered her mouth, so all that could be seen were her dark eyes, which gleamed mischievously.
Whether she was thinking of some wicked idea or not, he didn't hear her thoughts.
...
The Imperial Palace.
The young emperor stared at the memorials on the table and sighed repeatedly.
He was very irritable.
He would occasionally look up at the door.
After confirming that the regent was not in the palace, he angrily threw all the memorials onto the ground.
Hearing the commotion and seeing the mess on the ground, the chief eunuch exclaimed in surprise, "Your Majesty, what's wrong? Why are you taking your anger out on these memorials again?"
The young emperor pouted angrily, "Go and summon the Imperial Advisor. I have something to discuss with him."
Eunuch He's thin lips twitched twice, revealing a sorrowful expression.
He sighed softly, "This servant will go and fetch him right away."
The Emperor is extremely reliant on the Imperial Advisor.
Before he knew that the princess was the imperial advisor, the emperor relied on her exceptionally much.
Now that this person is supposedly planted by the Empress Dowager, the Emperor has become even more unscrupulous.
Should he report this news to the Regent immediately?
A short while later, Si Shi arrived.
"My dear minister, there's no need for such formalities. Rise and come here immediately." The young emperor said excitedly, beckoning to Si Shi, "When will I finally be able to get rid of this throne?"
Judging from the young emperor's restless appearance on the dragon throne, he probably thinks about escaping the throne all the time.
Si Shi was at a loss for words, unsure whether to laugh or feel helpless. Looking at the young emperor's expression, he had no choice but to patiently explain.
"Your Majesty, if you truly wish to relinquish the throne, you must heed my instructions."
"These are turbulent times again, and this is a good opportunity."
What opportunity?
The young emperor's eyes lit up as he looked expectantly at the imperial advisor.
He hoped that the imperial advisor could give a precise answer.
He didn't know that the Imperial Advisor was Xiao Tang before, which led him to believe it for a time. He never expected that Xiao Tang was the Imperial Advisor.
How could the Empress Dowager possibly help him get rid of the throne? It's obvious to anyone with a brain.
But the one in front of me will definitely...
"I understand that every two years our Great Sheng Kingdom and the Eastern Yuan Kingdom exchange princesses for marriage alliances to prevent war between the two sides, is that right?"
The young emperor tilted his head. "It seems there is such a thing. But the Dongyuan Kingdom already sent a marriage alliance last year..."
"So this year it's our turn, Dasheng, to select a princess and send her over."
The young emperor couldn't understand.
The purpose of selecting a princess to marry into the Dongyuan Kingdom was to reduce war between the two countries.
Although the two countries rarely interacted, the princess who was sent to marry a foreign ruler was never absent.
"If we send that princess to marry into the country, Your Majesty can secretly leave with her. When the imperial edict to abdicate is issued, I can make proper arrangements for Your Majesty."
That sounds reasonable.
Even the little emperor, a mere child, thought it was a foolproof method.
Di Yanqing clapped his hands, "As expected of the Imperial Advisor, this is an excellent idea. Even if I live in Dongyuan Kingdom, I will still be free."
Si Shi lowered his eyes, concealing the smile in them.
He knew this young emperor was easy to fool.
Everything is ready, all that's needed is the right opportunity...
...
The night was cool and still.
Since the Lantern Festival has been over for so long, the weather has gradually warmed up, but the nights are still quite chilly.
Turning my head, I saw Xiao Tang leaning against the couch, her head nodding.
He closed the folded book in his hand, got up, and carried her horizontally onto the soft couch.
The mattress was soft enough that Xiao Tang automatically shrank into it as soon as she lay down.
He gently stroked the tip of her nose.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a pink ball hopping in from a distance, landing on Xiao Tang's chest. Perhaps thinking he couldn't see it, it stealthily pulled a pill from Xiao Tang's clothes.
Xiao Tang was asleep and completely unaware.
Di Jingling narrowed his dark eyes, staring intently at the pill in the pink dumpling's hand.
Seeing the little dumpling about to be fed, he suddenly asked, "What is that?"
A deep male voice suddenly rang out.
The little dumpling was startled.
It looked at Di Jingling in surprise, and seeing his deep gaze that seemed to pierce through it, it swallowed hard and said cautiously, "N-nothing."
After it finished speaking, it immediately realized something was wrong.
"You...you can hear me? Can you see me?"
The man didn't want to answer that incredibly stupid question.
The little pink dumpling was stunned. "I, you, she..."
Damn it, why didn't the host ever mention that the villain could hear it?
The villain may be able to see it, but he never knows that every time it speaks with its host, all the conversations fall into the man's ears.
Xiao Tang smacked her lips and immediately rolled over.
The little pink dumpling was standing on her, but as she turned over, it rolled off with a tumble.
The pill flew out of the little dumpling's hand in an instant.
Just as the pill was about to fall to the ground, a large hand came across and caught it.
The system, still shaken, stared at the pill. "Your Majesty... Regent, I am the Queen's pet. This is mine. May I have it?"
It is a relatively reasonable system.
Even though I know perfectly well that reasoning with the big villain is simply impossible.
