"Wanting, this girl, is used to using this trick to make the Ai family feel distressed. She will use bitter tricks at such a young age, which really makes people laugh or cry. Okay, let's get rid of her restraint. She hasn't come to the Ai family these days to bother her.
It’s a lot more deserted.”
"The old servant said that the Queen Mother loves the princess the most, and it is impossible to be really angry with the princess."
"Go and take the box of Guishunzhai's snacks later and give it to the girl. She likes sweets."
"Yes, Queen Mother."
While the Queen Mother was taking a nap, Nanny Hui took the pastries and came to Shaohua Palace.
"I have met the princess. The queen mother asked the old slave to come over and bring you some snacks. The emperor specially ordered someone to buy these outside the palace. The queen mother is reluctant to eat them herself, so I won't bring them to you."
"Aunt Hui, please sit down and eat two pieces together."
Chu Wanting's ability to coax people was truly inherited from the Queen Mother. After saying this, she helped Aunt Hui to sit down on the chair, opened the box, took out two snacks, and handed them to Aunt Hui.
Seeing Chu Wanting like this, Aunt Hui was so happy that she couldn't even open her mouth.
After finishing the snacks, the two chatted for a while and thought that the Queen Mother was about to wake up, so Aunt Hui went back.
"Princess, please go and see the Queen Mother when you have time. She seems to have something on her mind recently and is always depressed."
"Okay, I'll go over and talk to my aunt in a moment."
Back in the house, Chu Wanting took out the rouge and gouache given by Feng Minyi and started to dress up in front of the mirror.
"Feng'er, come over quickly and take a look. I'll paint that one and it will look good."
Feng'er came to the mirror and started to help Chu Wanting dress up. Since Feng Minyi came, Chu Wanting was in a good mood, and the slaves like them felt less guilty, otherwise they would be beaten and scolded at every turn to vent their anger.
"Master, look at this. It's suitable for this winter. Look at it and it will make you feel happy."
"Well, that's good. Help me find some clothes. I'm going to see my aunt."
Feng'er found a dark green cotton robe with a plum blossom pattern from the cabinet. The material of this dress was appreciated by the Queen Mother, and she was very happy to wear it to see the Queen Mother.
The two strolled all the way towards Fenghua Palace.
At the Flame Army's barracks, Guo Fang has slowly begun to make remarks that are not conducive to the regent. Especially every time he falls asleep, he will quietly talk to the people next to him.
"Hey, have you heard? The regent's leg seems to be disabled. I heard that Dr. Hu couldn't do anything. Later, he went to Princess Donglin for treatment, but it didn't get better."
"What? What will happen to the army if he is disabled?"
"Who knows? I also heard that many people have turned to the Duke. If anything happens to the Regent, who should we turn to?"
"What are you two talking about? I'm telling you, we'd better be prepared. I think King Donglin is good. If things go wrong, we can take refuge in him."
Several people were awakened by their words. It seemed that the wind was not difficult to blow, and everyone was already panicking. At this time, Guo Fang spoke again.
"I heard that King Donglin is quite good to the soldiers. When the time comes, let's go together and join him. You must take me with you."
"Don't worry, Brother Fang, no one can forget you if you forget."
"Brother Fang, I think it's better for you to contact us secretly. We can just follow you when you go there."
"Brother, what you said means that I have to talk to King Donglin. But when you said that, I remembered that a fellow countryman of mine was working as a handyman in the palace. If that doesn't work, I'll go out that day and have a look.
Can you please speak?"
"I think it will work. We should make plans early. I heard that the regent came to the military camp a few days ago. Someone was distracted during training, and the regent killed him with one sword."
This news made the hairs on their hair stand up.
"Hey, who says it's not the case? He has always been so cruel and violent."
"Okay, go to bed early and leave the rest to me. Then we'll gather our brothers and leave here together."
"I'll leave it to you to sing."
Guo Fang got into bed. These people had been dissatisfied with the regent for a long time and were afraid that they would be killed accidentally. If he encouraged them a few more times, it would be no problem.
In addition, there are other brothers cooperating on the side, and it will be easy to instigate them to rebel. When the time comes, the regent and the others will cooperate with each other inside and outside, and kill them without leaving a trace.
Guo Fangxin was extremely excited when he thought about this. He had been hiding in the Flame Army Camp for many years, just to defeat the regent one day and see his master come forward.
He felt aggrieved always living in the shadow of the regent.
When eating the next day, he found several other brothers.
"How are you doing over there?"
"The people on our side have also been shaken for a long time. Knowing that the regent is now in decline and has become extremely cruel, everyone has other ideas."
"That's good. We can't rush this kind of thing. Let's take our time and be careful not to let Liehuo's gang know about it. Otherwise, all our efforts will be wasted."
"Okay, got it."
After a few people chatted briefly, they returned to the team.
Here in Fenghua Palace, the Queen Mother woke up from a nap and was basking in the sun in front of the door when Chu Wanting came.
"Wanting, meet my aunt."
"Okay, let's get up. I've had a lot of reflection these days."
"Aunt, Wanting knows she was wrong. From now on, Wanting will listen to her aunt on everything."
"Okay, come in, you must have been frozen all the way. Aunt Hui will go get a charcoal basin."
After all, she was her biological niece and she was raised by herself. When the Queen Mother saw Chu Wanting, she beamed with joy.
"Auntie, do you think this dress looks good?"
"You are good-looking. You are young after all. You will look good in anything you wear."
Chu Wanting showed off in front of the Queen Mother and said all kinds of funny things to make the Queen Mother happy, and she suddenly seemed to have forgotten those troublesome things.
"Aunt, Wanting misses you so much. You are the person closest to Wanting. Wanting will be filial to her aunt in the future."
Chu Wanting came to the Queen Mother, lay on the Queen Mother's lap and started acting coquettishly.
"What's going on? We haven't seen each other for a few days, why are we acting like children?"
"Aunt, Wanting is a straight person. I want to say something to you, but I'm afraid you'll be angry. But if I don't say it, I feel it's not worth it for you."
The Queen Mother helped her up. Is this child afraid that she heard something?
"Tell me, why could my aunt be really angry with you?"
"Then let me tell you, brother Yi'er has come to see Wanting. He told me some things about the regent and asked me to advise you carefully. It's not convenient for him to say it himself."
The Queen Mother was wondering what kind of trick Feng Minyi was playing. She didn't understand.
