Aunt Hua was even more panicked than the Empress Dowager.

She was originally from the Empress Dowager's mother's family. Later, the emperor's father-in-law and his son were killed, and the whole family was exiled, including her children.

She was always worried about bringing up old issues, and was also worried that her life would be difficult if the Queen Mother fell out of favor.

After all, the empress dowager is the emperor's biological mother, so who am I?

But she had no choice but to sigh: "My Lady, I am old now, if something really happened, it would be fine, but you are still young..."

She hadn't given up yet and asked the Queen Mother to seduce the Regent.

The Queen Mother understood what Aunt Hua said and was embarrassed: "I think what the Regent said to me that day is also very reasonable."

"If I go again... I'm afraid he'll be angry."

Aunt Hua acted like an experienced person: "When a young man first tastes the flavor of flowers, he doesn't know that all flowers have their own unique appearances."

"Once he finds out, we won't be able to leave..."

"Have you ever seen anyone in a high position of power who doesn't have three wives and four concubines by a certain age?"

"If any man in this world is truly loyal, it's probably because he hasn't experienced the true joy of it..."

The Empress Dowager's cheeks flushed when she heard this, and she nodded as if possessed by some unknown force.

After the court session, according to convention, Cui Changan would take the little emperor to the imperial study to review memorials and teach him about state affairs.

The little emperor could not read, so Cui Changan asked eunuch A Zhong to read to him.

The little emperor seemed to understand what he heard, but Cui Changan quickly gave his opinion, then approved it and sent it to the next book.

Whenever he felt it was necessary, he would tell the little emperor "what the memorial said and why it was handled in this way."

The little emperor still seemed to understand, nodding and looking at Cui Changan devoutly.

In the eyes of the little emperor, Cui Changan was more like his father.

In the past, when the late emperor was alive, he would occasionally hold Min'er when he had time, but more often he would do it on a whim. He would hold her and caress her for a few moments like he would a cat or a dog, coax her a few words, and then leave her.

Min'er thought to herself that she had behaved so well that the late emperor couldn't see it.

Min'er always feels disappointed when she receives insincere and perfunctory compliments.

The Regent was different. He would look at him seriously and ask him from time to time: "Do you understand? Is there anything else you don't understand?"

If I tell him what I don't understand, he will break it down and explain it again...

Cui Changan read two memorials, then saw Min'er's eyes widened and a strange smile on her lips. He couldn't help but pause and said, "Your Majesty? Do you understand?"

Min Er came back to his senses, smiled sheepishly, and suddenly said: "Prince Regent, you really look like my father!"

Cui Changan was startled and asked seriously, "Who taught you that?"

Min Er was also startled and looked at Cui Changan in fear: "No...no one taught me that."

"This is the first time someone has taught me so patiently, Min'er..."

"Even when my father was alive, he never taught me so seriously..."

"How wonderful it would be if you were really my father?"

The young emperor walked up to Cui Changan, grabbed his robe and shook it gently: "Prince Regent, when no one else is around, can I call you Father?"

It was impossible for anyone to refuse a little child looking at him with such admiration.

But how could Cui Changan dare? !

He sighed and held the little emperor in his arms: "Your Majesty, you are the master of this world. You must never say such words again."

"If anyone hears this, they will accuse me of coveting the throne, and I will be beheaded."

But Min'er didn't think so: "I don't understand the country and government affairs, you are in charge of everything. You should be the emperor. I just want to be your son..."

Cui Changan was about to say something when he heard a knock on the door of the imperial study. The eunuch outside the door shouted, "The Empress Dowager is here."

Cui Changan frowned, but finally shouted, "Come in."

When the door opened, the Queen Mother came in personally carrying two desserts.

The milk given to Min'er was purple sweet potato milk, and the milk given to Cui Chang'an was bird's nest milk.

Cui Changan frowned habitually: "If the Empress Dowager has anything to say, just send someone to tell her. You don't have to come in person."

The Queen Mother's eyes instantly turned red again, and she looked aggrieved.

"I feel sorry for the Emperor and the Regent who are working so hard to govern the country, so I sent some desserts over. Is that not okay?"

The little emperor looked at his mother and then at the regent, and finally mustered up his courage.

"Mother, please put down the dessert. Min'er loves it."

"Prince Regent, try some too...it's delicious."

Cui Changan remembered Xiao Wu's reminder and was reluctant to drink it: "I don't want to drink it for now, leave it there."

The Empress Dowager looked aggrieved: "Why? Are you worried that I'll put something unclean in there?"

"If the prince were here, I wouldn't have reached this point."

Cui Changan: ...That makes sense.

He lowered his head to look at Min'er and met her pleading eyes.

Forget it, give the little emperor some face.

He picked up the bird's nest milk and drank it all in one gulp.

When his vision went dark, he remembered Xiao Wu's words and regretted his decision.

Some women have no bottom line.

He heard the little emperor's exclamation and heard the empress dowager admonishing the little emperor: "Min'er, don't you want the regent to be your father?"

"Then Min'er, be good and go to the back hall first..."

The Empress Dowager abducted Min'er and stared at Eunuch A Zhong, forcing him to go to the back hall.

She finally felt relieved: she had already sent Xiao Wu away, and now she had an incense stick of time...

enough.

Just as she was undressing and about to attack Cui Changan, Min'er arrived with Xiao Wu and the Golden Scale Guards.

Facing the terrified and disbelieving gaze of the Empress Dowager, Xiao Wu didn't waste any words and slashed her neck with a sharp knife.

After knocking the Empress Dowager unconscious, Xiao Wu waved her hand and said, "Send her back to the Cining Palace."

"The Empress Dowager is seriously ill and will be recuperating in the Cining Palace from now on."

"Golden Scale Guards, go investigate. Who gave the Queen Mother this foolish idea?"

"After finding out, just kill him."

After the Empress Dowager was carried away, Xiao Wu went to check on Cui Changan, but found that he was still somewhat conscious.

He saw Xiao Wu's face and spoke with all his strength: "Xiao Wu..."

When he opened his mouth, it was full of blood!

Then Cui Changan fainted with relief.

Xiao Wu was shocked and quickly opened his mouth to take a closer look. She also took his pulse and checked it. Only then did she discover that the blood in his mouth was from biting his tongue.

In order to keep himself awake, he even hurt himself!

Xiao Wu couldn't help but curse: "Damn it!"

Min'er watched all this next to Xiao Wu, her face turned pale with fear and her fists clenched.

"Aunt Xiaowu, will the Regent be okay?"

Xiao Wu knew that the child was precocious, so she didn't hide it: "He was drugged, and in order to stay awake, he bit his tongue..."

"Don't worry, I'll detoxify him and give him medicine, and he'll be fine."

Min'er breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time became worried.

"Aunt Xiaowu, my mother did something wrong. Can you just punish her? Don't kill her?"

Xiao Wu turned her head and glanced at Min'er. The fear and confusion in the child's eyes made her soften her heart instantly.

If he hadn't blown the Golden Scale Whistle that only the Golden Scale Guards could hear, he wouldn't have gotten back so quickly.

It was Min'er who protected Cui Chang'an's innocence.

This child is stuck in the middle, feeling awkward...it's really pitiful.

"Okay, I promise I won't kill her."

Xiao Wu reached out and rubbed the top of his head: "You go to the back hall with Eunuch Zhong now. I want to detoxify the Regent."

"Yes." Min'er was relieved and followed Eunuch Zhong to the back hall.

Listening to the faint groan of pain from the Regent in the front hall, Min'er was confused.

"Ah Zhong, do you think the Regent will be okay?"

Eunuch A Zhong: "Your Majesty, with Commander Fu here, the Regent will be fine."

"The Regent is so kind to me and my mother, why did my mother drug the Regent?"

Ah Zhong: ...

Your Majesty, how can I explain some things to a three-year-old child like you?

I am useless and can't explain it clearly!
