I'm in trouble again! My best friend, the princess in the group, please save me!

Seeing an opportunity, Wei Chuchu knelt on the ground and touched his bulging belly before slowly saying, "Since the emperor is dead, the prince can make his son, the queen's little prince, the new emperor, legitimately..."

Before she finished speaking, An Yuyan's face turned ugly, with sparks of anger flashing in her eyes.

Wei Chuchu quickly said, "Your Highness can take this opportunity to establish himself as the regent. The little prince is still young and cannot handle state affairs. The queen is too crazy to rule the country from behind the curtain. Only Your Highness can handle state affairs. This is the only way to be legitimate."

An Yuyan stared at Wei Chuchu and sneered: "You actually think about me."

Wei Chuchu lowered her head and said softly, "I hope the prince will let me and my child live. I have no other request."

An Yuyan was silent for a while, then said, "What if the new emperor grows up?"

Wei Chuchu looked up at An Yuyan, his eyes full of hope, "Your Highness, letting him take the throne is just a temporary solution. That kid is not even as big as a fist, and he has congenital deficiencies. I'm afraid he won't live for a few years... Besides, everyone has minor illnesses and disasters, and what's more, he's just a child..."

After hearing this, Wan Qianni became furious and rushed towards Wei Chuchu, wanting to hit her.

However, An Yuyan just said coldly: "Take him away!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two guards immediately stepped forward and dragged Wan Qianni away.

Wei Chuchu straightened the clothes that were torn apart by Wan Qianni and spoke again: "Now, there are only some stubborn ministers who oppose your enthronement. As long as you become the regent and take back power step by step, by then, you will hold the power and control the government. Whether to be the emperor or not will be up to you, right?"

An Yuyan fell into deep thought. After a long while, he slowly nodded to show his agreement. Then, he ordered his men to take Wei Chuchu away as well.

He had the little prince brought in.

An Yuyan's eyes fell on the baby in her arms. She saw the baby waving his hands in the air, revealing his sixth finger.

An Yuyan's face turned gloomy, and a feeling of uneasiness surged in her heart.

He couldn't help but recall his childhood experiences. The palace maids and eunuchs always mocked him, saying that he was a monster and unworthy of being a prince. They often deliberately knocked over his food when he was eating, leaving him hungry. Sometimes, they even beat him, leaving him with bruises all over his body.

His mother died early, and he once tried to ask his father for help, hoping that his father could protect him, but his father turned a blind eye to his plight.

The emperor always said that he was unlucky. There was famine in the country the year he was born, and all the princes and princesses born after him, except Huanyan, either died young or were never born. He even said that if he was not his son, he would have driven him out of the palace long ago.

He once thought about running away, but he didn't know where to go. He could only endure the pain silently until he could get rid of these difficulties.

Just then, Chi Yuehan's voice came from behind.

She asked in confusion: "Is this your good move? You even kept me in the dark."

Seeing that An Yuyan was only busy teasing the child and ignoring her, Chi Yuehan became anxious and went forward to pull him, asking anxiously, "Did you know that the Hai family was going to rebel?"

However, An Yuyan shook off his hand and asked calmly, "I heard that...your father, Prince Yongning, is against my succession to the throne?"

Chi Yuehan was stunned when she heard this. She had never expected him to bring this up suddenly, so she quickly explained, "What does this have to do with me? You know that concubines in the harem are not allowed to interfere in government affairs!"

"is it?"

But An Yuyan did not intend to continue to argue with him. She directly called the wet nurse and asked her to take the baby away.

Chi Yuehan naturally refused and held on to the swaddling clothes tightly, refusing to let anyone take it away. The two immediately started arguing.

An Yuyan held her back, narrowed her eyes, and said in a cold voice: "From now on, he will be kept in my palace."

Chi Yuehan's expression changed instantly, and she angrily retorted: "No! You can't take my child away!"

"Your child? I don't remember ever having one."

Chi Yuehan said sadly: "I have long regarded her as my own child! Moreover, during the recent period of war, we had to tighten our belts. If it weren't for my careful care, he would definitely not be alive today!"

An Yuyan was not moved at all and just waved her hand. In this way, the little prince was finally taken away.

Chi Yuehan was completely panicked. She knelt down with a plop and begged with tears in her eyes: "Please don't do this... Please give him back to me..."

However, An Yuyan did not speak, but just looked at him quietly. After a long while, she slowly said, "Don't worry, I will let him ascend the throne."

"What?" Chi Yuehan was stunned again and asked in confusion: "...What about you?"

An Yuyan paused and said, "You can continue to take care of this child."

Chi Yuehan didn't expect him to let go so quickly, and immediately asked vigilantly: "What do you want?"

"Let your father support me as the regent, and I will also make you the queen dowager. Then we will all be justified and no one will gossip about it anymore."

"So you were waiting for me here!" Chi Yuehan paused, and suddenly thought of Wan Qianni. "Then... where is the queen?"

"The master is young and the mother is strong, the son is noble - and the mother is dead." There was no emotion in An Yuyan's voice.

Chi Yuehan collapsed to the ground in an instant, "Are you going to kill her?"

"The Queen missed the late Emperor too much, so she followed him. Just arrange for her to hang herself. What's the matter? You have a deep sisterly relationship with her? Can't bear to let her go?" An Yuyan looked at her sarcastically.

"How can it be!"

Chi Yuehan stood up and said, "Okay, I promise you. But you have to send the little prince back to my palace now."

An Yuyan waved her hand casually, and a eunuch walked out immediately.

"I believe that with the righteous words of King Yongning, this matter will go much more smoothly."

Chi Yuehan looked at his triumphant smile and the pair of crescent eyes on his snow-white skin, lingering and charming.

"Witch!" she cursed.

"What? You don't want to be his mother anymore?" he asked nonchalantly.

Chi Yuehan was stunned. She couldn't refute the man's words, but she was extremely angry. She glared at An Yuyan fiercely, then turned around and left angrily.

The man looked at Chi Yuehan's receding back, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a smug smile.

He knew that his methods were somewhat cruel, but he had to do so in order to achieve his ambitions and goals. As for other people's ideas, they only made him feel ignorant.

Everything is settled.

The new emperor ascended the throne and the regent took control of the new government. Although the Khitans remained on the sidelines, the State of Jin was slow to lead its troops to fight off the enemy, and the border was in danger.
