He staggered over and Lu Bai tried to help him, but he threw him away, "You all stand down -"
Lu Bai looked at him hesitantly, the little emperor's eyes were dim, and Lu Bai immediately said: "Yes, I resign."
He led the other palace people out, but Chu Yun and Du Ruo did not move. They only went out after Lou Jinhuan nodded.
The little emperor looked at this scene and smiled, "These two slaves are very loyal to the queen, and I can't even control them."
He usually puts on airs, which often makes people overlook his actual age, but when he's drunk he can't hide his childishness.
Lou Jinhuan put down the book in her hand and sat up straight to look at him. Unexpectedly, he took a step forward, tripped his left foot over his right foot, and rushed straight towards her.
She subconsciously reached out to hold his arms, but he leaned on her and murmured with drunken eyes: "Mother, why don't you come to me anymore? You used to come to keep me company, but now
Why are you so cold? Because I did something wrong, are you still angry?"
Is this telling the truth while drunk?
Lou Jinhuan looked at him indifferently. Before he asked, he shook it off first. He didn't know if he would regret it if he sobered up.
"Do you know what you are talking about, Your Majesty?"
Lou Jinhuan ripped him off her body without mercy and pushed him aside.
The little emperor looked at her blankly: "Isn't it?"
"What is it?" Lou Jinhuan pinched his chin and asked him to look directly into her eyes, "So you admit that you designed to frame me?"
The little emperor's eyes widened suddenly, and he seemed to wake up for a moment. Lou Jinhuan's frosty face was reflected in his eyes. His lips wriggled for a moment, and he smiled bitterly, "My mother really knows."
Hearing his admission, Lou Jinhuan felt something was wrong. Even if he was drunk, how could he admit it so easily?
unless……
With a glance from the corner of her eye, a flickering fire suddenly appeared outside her window. She stood up suddenly, opened the window and saw the imperial guards pouring in one after another holding torches.
"Mother, I know you won't be able to swallow this breath for a while, but it doesn't matter. I can wait. When you calm down, we can continue as before, but before that, I will wrong you to stay in the palace."
The little emperor stood beside her and seemed to want to grab her hand. Lou Jinhuan dodged and stared at him, "Does your Majesty want to put the Ai family under house arrest?"
"It's not house arrest, it's just to protect the safety of the queen and me." A flash of disappointment flashed in the little emperor's eyes, "Don't worry, it won't be long. When Yan Ruqing completely disappears from this world, I will let the queen out. From now on
You are still the high and mighty Queen Mother."
He smiled and said, "It's getting late. Mother, please rest. I'm going back."
"Your Majesty - there are many Imperial Guards coming outside!"
Du Ruo and Chu Yun ran in and happened to meet the little emperor who was walking out. Both of them looked at the little emperor with guarded eyes, but the little emperor just smiled and ignored him.
Du Ruoduo glanced at him, stepped forward angrily, and closed the door behind his back.
The little emperor paused when he heard the door closing and wanted to look back, but stopped halfway back.
There is no turning back.
…
"My dear, are you okay? Your Majesty, what does this mean?"
Chu Yun asked worriedly: "I see that several palace doors are locked and no one is allowed to enter or exit. Does he want to lock up the empress? Why should he?"
"I just said that this little emperor is full of bad ideas. He is not a big man, but he has a lot of ideas." Du Ruo gritted his teeth, "The imperial guards are not the prince's people, so it will be difficult for us to convey the news now."
Lou Jin's happy eyes reflected the light of the torches dancing outside, and his voice was like quenched ice, "It's hard to pass on, Du Ruo, let someone tell Yan Ruqing to be careful, the little emperor is going to attack him."
Du Ruo was shocked: "What?"
…
[I just feel like something is wrong with this little emperor. What does he mean to the Queen Mother? It can’t be love, right? He’s only a little bit old]
[Maybe he is too possessive. Wasn’t the Queen Mother very good to him before? So he regards the Queen Mother as his mother or sister and cannot bear her liking others]
[No, how did he know that the Queen Mother liked someone else?]
[Generally, the intuition of such paranoia is very sharp. You may discover it when. Anyway, the current situation is a bit bad. I don’t know how it will develop in the future]
This night is destined to be a sleepless night.
Within the imperial city and outside the southern border, undercurrents are surging.
…
Du Ruo's letter was successfully sent, but three days later, while Lou Jinhuan was having lunch, his eyelids suddenly started twitching.
I didn't hold the spoon in my hand, and it fell into the bowl with a "clack".
Chu Yun was stunned for a moment. Seeing Lou Jinhuan's eyes closed and his face looking strange, he hurriedly asked: "What's wrong with you?"
Lou Jinhuan shook his head and said, "No, it's just that my eyelids were twitching badly."
"The left eye is twitching, and the right eye is twitching. Which eyelid is twitching?" Du Ruo looked at her curiously.
Lou Jinhuan was silent for a while and raised his head, "Dance on both sides."
Du Ruo: "...then this dance is quite unique, haha——"
Lou Jinhuan was not in the mood to have fun. She thought of Yan Ruqing and asked 001: "How is Yan Ruqing's place?"
001:【Not good, something seems to have happened.】
[What?] Lou Jinhuan pursed his lips, didn’t he send the letter?
Did he not receive it or did he receive it but was unable to prevent it?
Lou Jinhuan frowned, feeling anxious and unable to eat anymore, "Chu Yun, go and find out if there is any movement in the past."
"There's no need to go. I'll tell you what the queen wants to know."
Lou Jinhuan pressed her hand between her brows for a moment, then slowly raised her head, and saw the little emperor striding towards him with his hands behind his back. Lu Bai and the other palace people stopped at the door and did not come in.
"The queen hasn't eaten yet?" The little emperor sat down at the table unceremoniously, looking at the table of light meals and raising an eyebrow, "How is the queen's hand?"
Lou Jinhuan didn't answer him. Seeing his rosy face and smiling eyes, he couldn't help but snorted: "You can't compare to your majesty's high spirits on happy occasions."
Du Ruo clenched her fists behind her, looking at the proud face of the little emperor and wanting to punch her. Chu Yun pulled her up in time and gave her a "don't act rashly" look.
Du Ruo bit his lip and heard Lou Jinhuan say: "You guys should go out too."
"yes."
Chu Yun took Du Ruo and hurried out.
Lou Jinhuan and the little emperor were once again left alone in the palace. It had been three days since the last time he was drunk, and the little emperor seemed to have forgotten the embarrassment at that time.
He looked at Lou Jinhuan with a smile, "I have some good news, do you want to hear it, Queen Mother?"
Lou Jinhuan put down the bowl and looked at him calmly, "Your Majesty, you can say whatever you want. If you don't want to say anything, you can leave now."
Little Emperor: "..."
He pursed his lower lip and said to himself: "It may not be good news for you. Yan Ruqing is missing. He suddenly disappeared when the two armies were fighting. Now we don't know whether he is alive or dead. The border has become a mess."
