[Master, this is Eunuch Li, left behind by the original owner's mother. He is one of the few people who know that you are a girl.]
- Hmm... then who else knows?
[Your personal maid, Yueying. She was also your mother's dowry maid.]
I, as a mother, finally got my chance to be useful.
"Eunuch Li, I'm fine." Luo Jiu stood up with the help of the weight and sat back down in her original chair.
"Your Majesty, please don't keep angering the Regent. If you keep going against him, you'll only suffer in the end!" Eunuch Li advised gently, his eyes full of heartache as he looked at Luo Jiu.
"I didn't want to either, but he took my rabbit away. I raised it for over a month, and it finally grew up. He just took it away like that. Am I still an emperor?" Luo Jiu slumped into a chair, muttering to herself.
"Your Majesty, the Regent does not wish for you to spend too much energy on playthings."
Luo Jiu agreed with Eunuch Li's statement, but she still had to put on a sullen expression. It was really difficult for me.
"Your Majesty, why is your hair still wet? Yueying, Yueying, quickly take the Emperor to get it fixed." As soon as Eunuch Li called out to the door, a woman in green palace attire rushed in.
Luo Jiu followed her into the bedroom. After changing her clothes, she sat upright in front of the dressing table, while Yueying helped her style her hair.
Luo Jiu looked at the person in the bronze mirror. The person resembled her original body in some ways, yet also felt somewhat different.
The person in the mirror had long, smooth black hair cascading down his back. He had straight eyebrows, but they were drawn into sword-like shapes. His eyes were dark and bright, his nose was drawn high, and his facial features were emphasized. He looked like a handsome young man.
"Your Majesty, I know you are suffering. You were born a girl, but you have to dress as a man. And now you are constantly suppressed by the Regent."
"But Your Majesty sacrificed herself so that you could live well. Don't oppose the Regent anymore." Yueying, holding a comb, earnestly persuaded him.
For a moment, Luo Jiu was puzzled. Could it be that her mother sacrificed herself to protect the original owner of this body?
According to historical records, the late emperor originally had nine children, and the original owner of this body was the youngest. The throne should never have been hers. However, during the late emperor's serious illness, the original owner's elder brothers were either imprisoned or demoted back to their fiefdoms.
Therefore, after obtaining the regent's permission, the late emperor established the original subject as emperor and ordered the regent to assist him. However, fearing that the original subject was too young and that the empress's concubines would interfere in politics, the late emperor ordered the execution of the original subject's mother to ensure the original subject's ascension to the throne.
Luo Jiu was utterly dumbfounded after hearing this. What a touching display of motherly love! Suddenly, she felt like just another piece of life was going to be so difficult.
In fact, the original owner's mother was afraid that since the original owner was so young at the time, if she didn't ascend the throne, she might not even know how she died. That's why she was willing to sacrifice herself.
Master, you must believe you are the best! You can definitely complete the mission! 007 believes in you!
007, to be honest, are you a newbie to this system? It seems like the information is always incomplete.
"Well... our system ranks people by number, and I'm seventh, the worst performer or something..."
Luo Jiu had a knowing look on her face.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Ye Si requests an audience and is already waiting outside the hall!" Li Gonggong's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
