Quick Wear: Beautiful, Strong, Miserable, Whitening Guide

Moreover, he did not react at all to her series of questions, especially those about the Liu family and the Regent. He was just afraid and kept crying.

This is so abnormal.

Empress Dowager Liu's anger subsided a little, and she suddenly became suspicious.

She narrowed her eyes and looked at Chu Ziyu carefully. Her tone was still stern, but with a hint of probing: "Emperor? Did you hear what I said? Look at me!"

Chu Ziyu was frightened by her shout, raised his head with tears in his eyes, and looked at her timidly. There was nothing in his eyes except fear and tears, no obedience, no admiration, and no submissiveness as before.

"you……"

Empress Dowager Liu's suspicion grew stronger and stronger. She suddenly reached out and tried to grab Chu Ziyu's shoulder, "Speak to me nicely! Don't play tricks!"

Before her hand touched Chu Ziyu, Chu Ziyu let out a short scream as if he had seen something extremely terrifying, and shrank back into the corner of the couch.

She covered her head tightly with a blanket, her body shaking like a leaf in the wind, and a muffled cry came out from under the blanket:

"Go away... wuwu... don't hit me... Ah Yu, be good... Ah Yu, be obedient..."

"Ayu"?!

The hand that Empress Dowager Liu stretched out suddenly froze in mid-air, and the anger on her face was instantly replaced by shock and disbelief!

How could the emperor call himself "Ayu"? That was his childhood name... a name he had almost forgotten in the cold palace! And this reaction... This is clearly...

An absurd and terrifying thought flashed through Empress Dowager Liu's mind: Could he be...really crazy? Or...losing his memory?!

She suddenly withdrew her hand, took a half step back, and looked at the quilt roll shivering in the corner of the couch in surprise and suspicion.

That's right! That makes sense! Why did Lin Ci'an hide him so well? Why did he suspend his duties for so many days and not allow anyone to visit him? This wasn't just a simple recuperation!

The emperor must have... really had a serious problem! He doesn't even recognize people anymore!

The anger and dissatisfaction on Empress Dowager Liu's face receded like the tide.

She stared at the quilt roll that was still shivering in the corner of the couch, her eyes as sharp as a hawk.

(Amnesia? Dementia?)

This realization made her heart chill at first, and then a more complicated emotion surged in her heart - disappointment, anger, and... a hidden possibility that she dared not think about deeply.

Her desperate hope that Chu Ziyu could help the Liu family seemed to be completely dashed at this moment.

How could you expect a fool who had forgotten who he was and who she was to whisper in his ear? How could you expect him to fight for the Liu family in front of Lin Ci'an?

The huge disappointment made her almost want to leave immediately.

(No… I can’t just let it go like this.)

(The emperor's stupidity is certainly a loss, but perhaps... it's also an opportunity?)

A completely blank emperor at the mercy of others...

Isn't he easier to control than Chu Ziyu, who is cowardly but still has his own little thoughts?

When Empress Dowager Liu's gaze fell on Chu Ziyu again, there was no longer any coercion in her eyes. Instead, there was a kind of deliberately disguised and distorted "kindness".

She slowed down her voice, even managed a stiff smile, and approached tentatively:

"Emperor...? My son? It's the Queen Mother... Don't you recognize the Queen Mother?"

She reached out and tried to pull away the blanket covering her head, but her movements were no longer as rough as before.
