The Child Emperor

It was a big event for the emperor to spend the night in Qiuxin Palace, so if you can’t just go, Han Ruzi first went back to Tai’an Palace to take a bath and change clothes, Zuo Ji stayed near the emperor, pacing back and forth, occasionally yawning lazily, and impatiently reprimanded Zhang Youcai or Tong Qing’e: "Hurry up, maidservant, the dogs in the palace are also more obedient than you. Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will teach them a lesson for Your Majesty."

Zuo Ji talked to himself, but no one responded, which made him even more proud.

While Zuo Ji was not paying attention, Zhang Youcai shook his head slightly at the emperor. He hadn't found out how the empress dowager delivered the news.This was the first day, and Han Ruzi didn't place much hope, so he blinked his eyes to show comfort.

Tong Qing'e concentrated on helping the emperor change his clothes, without any hint, but at the last moment, she quickly wrote a word on the emperor's back, fearing that the emperor would not feel it, she wrote it a second time.

There are not many strokes in this character, but Han Ruzi didn't recognize it. Zuo Ji was present and couldn't ask, so he pretended to understand and set off for Qiuxin Palace.Zuo Ji stopped Tong Qing'e and Zhang Youcai, raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't need you anymore."

Tong and Zhang retreated and stayed in the emperor's bedroom, looking at each other in blank dismay.

The queen had received the news in advance and was waiting in Qiuxin Palace. The two sat down and had a few glasses of wine opposite. room to rest.

After taking off her coat, the last bit of adult temperament disappeared from the queen. She was just a skinny little girl, sitting on the edge of the bed and shivering uncomfortably.

Han Ruzi sat sideways on the edge of the bed, keeping a distance from the queen, staring at her, hesitating in his heart.

The queen turned her head to look at the emperor, and was frightened by the look on his face. The emperor frowned and bit his lip, as if he was thinking deeply, but also as if he wanted to fight someone desperately.

"His Majesty……"

Han Ruzi was woken up, "Ah...sorry, I was thinking...I was thinking..." He didn't know how to speak, and after thinking about it, he really didn't need to beat around the bush, at worst, he got stuck in a deeper danger, " Can I trust you?"

The queen was confused at first, then she showed a determined gaze, nodded and said: "I am Your Majesty's Queen, and will always be, Your Majesty can trust me."

"Okay." Han Ruzi still didn't speak immediately, got up and walked to the door, and listened for a while, but there was no sound outside, the maids should not dare to move around at such a time, let alone eavesdrop.

He walked back to the bed, "Tell me, what are the plans of the Cui family?"

The queen was even more confused, and she also stood up, a little shorter than the emperor, "The Cui family... my family... is your majesty suspicious?"

"It's just that there are some things I can't understand. I hope you can give me some hints."

Cui Xiaojun is only 12 years old, but she has received a good education and knows a lot of things. She roughly understands the emperor's meaning and said seriously: "I know that the Cui family is too powerful and has affected the stability of the court. I am Empress Da Chu, no matter what His Majesty wants to do, I will stand by His Majesty's side."

Han Ruzi smiled slightly, "What can I do now? The problem is...someone told me that a person can be selfish, but he can't be so selfish that he thinks others are not selfish."

The queen also laughed, "It would be a bit daring for someone to say such a thing to His Majesty, but I understand what he means."

"So I feel puzzled. I know what the queen mother and the ministers want, and I know what many other people think, but I don't know what the Cui family is thinking. Taifu Cui...your father led the troops and sent you to the palace, knowing that The Empress Dowager is pressing her every step of the way, but he doesn't seem to be in any hurry."

Cui Xiaojun looked at the emperor quietly. This young man is not only the son of Da Chu, but also her husband. In all the education she has received, obedience is the core meaning. She accepts everything from her father at home to her husband when she gets married. Never thought about why, let alone now.

"I have three older brothers and one younger brother. My father once had ambitions and wanted to train them to be great people. As a result - on the night before my wedding, the two older brothers got drunk and fought in public. No one could persuade them. , Mother had no choice but to come out from the back hall, crying and begging them to stop. With such elder brothers, what kind of forethought does His Majesty think they can have? The Cui family hopes to stay in power for the sake of pleasure. When they heard that I was going to be a queen, the whole family was extremely excited. There is only one sentence on the lips, 'The Cui family can be stable for more than ten years'."

"Don't they know that you are going to marry a puppet emperor?" Han Ruzi couldn't imagine that the Cui family, which the Queen Mother has always treated as an enemy, would be such a group of people.

"They only care about the word queen, and then they concentrate on having fun. There are a few people in the family who understand, but they can't make a big deal. Only my father..."

"As far as I know, Taifu Cui is the only person whom the Empress Dowager fears."

The queen sighed softly, "Father is always dissatisfied. He has no greater ambitions, but he always feels that the status of the Cui family is not stable. He often says that wealth is easy to gain and lost quickly. I was afraid that the Cui family would suffer a crushing defeat, but the father was the only one in the family who was worried, and often lamented that the four sons were born in vain, not as good as a nephew."

"Nephew...is he the king of the East China Sea?" Han Ruzi was a little surprised, his heart was shocked, and a thin layer of sweat broke out all over his body. He remembered that Tong Qing'e wrote the word "Dong" on his back.

"Well, it's him." The queen's face was slightly gloomy, as if she didn't like to mention this cousin very much.

"Is he really the king of the East China Sea?" Han Ruzi asked again, taking a step forward, feeling unbelievable in his heart, and at the same time, countless thoughts popped up, telling him that this is the truth.

"He's very smart, and my father admires him very much, but if you ask me, he's too smart."

Han Ruzi became more and more surprised, and said blankly: "The king of the East China Sea likes you very much."

"Bah bah." Cui Xiaojun spat on the ground twice, his little face flushed, and the queen's dignity disappeared all of a sudden, "He's talking nonsense, he... just because his mother said casually that he wanted to kiss more, so he just said Seriously. But he is a bastard, we sisters, as well as sisters from relatives, were all taken by him, he said... When he becomes emperor, he will take us all into the palace to be queens and concubines, When the eldest sister got married the year before last, he even lost his temper. And the person he likes the most is not me, but the third sister. He said he wanted the third sister to be the queen, but I refused to follow him, so I can only be a concubine."

Han Ruzi could imagine the appearance of the King of the East China Sea losing his temper, but he still didn't understand, "Teacher Cui...your father appreciates people like the King of the East China Sea?"

The queen nodded, "To be more precise, what my father appreciates is Donghai King's mother and my aunt. My father often said that his younger sister is the smartest person in the family. It was she who saw that Emperor Huan had a chance to become the crown prince, so she insisted on it." If you want to marry, you are willing even if you don’t become a princess. The king of the East China Sea has a weird temper, but he is as smart as his aunt. , decided to stay."

Han Ruzi's mind was buzzing, and at first he couldn't believe it, but gradually he came to his senses, and he became more and more convinced that what the queen said was the truth.

"No wonder when I said I wouldn't touch you, the king of Donghai immediately agreed and kept emphasizing that he was afraid that you would tell me the truth!"

"Your Majesty doesn't want to touch me?" Cui Xiaojun opened his already big eyes, and finally understood why the emperor has been refusing to approach him.

Han Ruzi blushed slightly, "That's to deal with the Queen Mother..."

"My aunt and mother have indeed repeatedly told me not to mention the East China Sea King to anyone in the palace, but I cannot hide it from Your Majesty." The queen said firmly.

Han Ruzi smiled gratefully: "Oh, Luo Huanzhang learned about the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager from the East China Sea King's mother..."

Things became clear all of a sudden, the king of Donghai lived in Cui's house all year round, but his mother stayed in the palace until Emperor Huan came to the throne, and had no choice but to move out of the palace. Toffee has been in touch.

And those four imperial decrees, Han Ruzi's heart tightened, knowing that he had made a big mistake.

An imperial decree has been handed over to the queen mother to ease her suspicions, make the emperor more isolated, and probably use this to attack the enemies of the Cui family.

"Is there any enmity between the Cui family and Marquis Piyuan?" Han Ruzi asked.

The queen shook her head blankly, "I don't know, father doesn't tell his family about outside things."

The more Han Ruzi thought about it, the more he understood: Luo Huanzhang still had three imperial decrees left in his hand, and the imperial decree to dismiss Tai Tuo Cui Hong would never be revealed. It was only used to deceive the emperor, and the other two imperial decrees were what he really wanted. One will lift Shangguanxu's military power, one will take over the palace guards, and then everything will come to fruition—the Cui family will regain power, and this time the foundation will be more stable, because the emperor will be the king of the East China Sea who grew up in Cui's family, and the queen will be Cui. The daughter of the family, it doesn't matter which one.

"So that's how it is." Han Ruzi murmured. The Cui family is advancing by retreating. In fact, they have hidden a knife beside the Queen Mother. , he walked behind and had every opportunity to exchange information with Luo Huanzhang.

As a result, everyone's selfishness is fully exposed.

The imperial concubine not only wants revenge, but also wants to replace her sister as the queen mother, but how can she let the Cui family keep their promise after they gain power?The king of the East China Sea has his own mother, so he doesn't need to recognize other people as his mother like Han Ruzi.

Luo Huanzhang has made great contributions. He claims that he does not want to be an official, and he will become one of the people most grateful to the new emperor. Will he continue to assist the emperor as a commoner, or will he ascend to the sky and become an extremely human minister?

Han Ruzi straightened his body, and suddenly remembered Tong Qing'e, the imperial concubine kept it a secret, but the court lady only took a day to find out.

Han Ruzi's head hurt a little, he raised his hand and tapped it twice, Zhang Youcai said that the servants in the palace have their own channels, even the queen mother doesn't know, maybe they can help the emperor?

Meng E said that she would come back soon to deliver the third pill. When the emperor was in the most danger, would she be willing to take action in exchange for a more secure reward?

And the empress, though a member of the Cui family, had proven herself willing to side with the emperor, and might be able to do something about it.

The more Han Ruzi thought about it, the more confused he became, and he couldn't help saying, "What is Yang Feng doing?" He desperately needed guidance.

At the same moment, Yang Feng was also thinking about the emperor, and his heart was like an arrow.
