The little sister is a troublemaker

Chapter 311 Let’s Find the Regent

The Imperial Palace, the Queen Mother's bedroom.

The Empress Dowager looked gloomily at the kneeling young eunuch in front of her. The eunuch had an ordinary appearance, the type that would not be found even in a group of disgraceful people.

"Tell your master not to go too far. I have already done everything he asked me to do. When will the antidote be given to me?"

The young eunuch had a blank expression on his face. "Don't worry, Empress Dowager, the antidote has been delivered to the master."

The Empress Dowager slammed the table and said, "I am not talking about this kind of antidote. I want an antidote that can permanently remove the toxin, not a temporary control."

"This little one can't make the decision."

"You..." The Queen Mother gritted her teeth, "I don't want to tell you. Let King Cheng come to see me."

"I will tell my master, but this," the eunuch placed the porcelain bottle on the table in front of the empress dowager, "please ask the Grand Empress Dowager to find a way to put this poison on the regent."

The Empress Dowager widened her eyes, "Is your master ill? Is Chu Chenfeng so easy to deal with? Why doesn't he do it himself?"

"If the Empress Dowager has any objections, she can talk to the master in person. I am only responsible for passing on the message."

"You!" The Empress Dowager's eyes turned red with anger, "Get out of here!"

The young eunuch remained calm and said, "Yes, I'll take my leave."

The Empress Dowager was so angry that she was shaking all over. The old maid hurried forward to comfort her, "Your Highness, calm down. Don't let your anger get you in trouble."

The Empress Dowager slowly stood up, picked up the porcelain vase on the table and wanted to smash it, but in the end she didn't dare to do it.

There was no way out. Her son's life was in someone else's hands, and she could only accept his control.

The Grand Empress Dowager sat down with a sad look on her face. She seemed to have aged a few years in an instant. "Mammy... I... What should I do?"

Then he couldn't help sobbing.

The old nanny looked distressed and said, "My queen, why don't you listen to my advice and go find the regent."

The Empress Dowager shook her head in despair, "Looking for him? Mammy, if Chu Chenfeng knew that I had looked for Yu'er and said those words to him, it is even possible that Yu'er hanged himself because he was disappointed with me. Do you think Chu Chenfeng would help me?"

The old lady sighed, "But now... there is no way. What kind of person is the Regent? What kind of means does he have? Didn't you see it clearly back then? He turned the tide with his own strength, and King Cheng could only run away with his tail between his legs. If you go against him, are you sure you can win? Even if you are sure you can win, do you really want to harm the Regent?"

The Empress Dowager shook her head helplessly, "Mammy, I don't want to either, but now... Yu'er is gone, and I only have Luchen as my child. I can't watch him die."

The old maid was also extremely anxious. "My queen, please listen to my advice. King Cheng is not a good person. If you have to choose, I would rather choose the regent."

"But...he and I have no mother-son relationship, and he even holds a grudge against me. How could he help me?"

"The Regent is a man who values ​​friendship and loyalty. Your Majesty has told him the truth about your difficulties. Perhaps, he will help you for the sake of the Emperor."

"Mammy, but...I don't dare."

"Madam!" The old nanny patted her on the back in frustration. It was only because of the decades of master-servant friendship that she dared to do such a rebellious act. "It's useless for you to think so much now. The former crown prince is gone. If you want to protect the master, you must make a choice. Besides, is King Cheng just here to deal with the regent? He came for the throne of Da Chu. If something happens to the regent, what good will our emperor do? You can't... can't lose your mind."

The Empress Dowager covered her face and cried bitterly. She knew, of course she knew, but what could she do?

"The first prince is gone, and the emperor is still so young. Even if you don't like him, you can't just watch him die. You can't even protect his child, can you?"

The Grand Empress Dowager shook her head with tears on her face, "Mammy, do you know? I have never disliked the Emperor, it's just... it's just... his eyes are too much like Yu'er's. Every time I see them, my heart... hurts so much that I dare not look. I... I'm sorry for Yu'er, wuwuwuwuwu... I have neglected him since he was a child, and took out all my resentment on him, slowly severing our mother-son relationship. But, he is also a piece of flesh that fell from my body, and I never thought of letting him die. Tell me... does he hate me so much that... that's why..."

"Your Highness, it is useless to say this now. The most urgent thing is to find the Regent. Now, only he can solve your dilemma. You can't delay any longer."

The Queen Mother Tai Huang looked defeated, and finally sighed, "Then do as Madam says."

Lanyue Building, second floor box.

"Xiaojiu, do we really not want someone to go to the post station to tell the child? How can he find us?" Liu Sheng sat in the box, feeling as if there was a needle on his butt, and he couldn't calm down for a moment.

"Hey, Senior Brother, can you please sit down and be quiet? Don't worry, that kid is very smart. He is the prince of Tianlang Country, and he has many secret guards around him. He can find us. Don't worry." Li Mulan drank tea calmly. Yesterday, Kang'er only said that they would have lunch together, but he didn't arrange a place. This Lanyue Tower is Lin Yunfan's property, which is relatively safer.

"Then why haven't you come yet?"

Xu couldn't stand it anymore and slapped him on the back. "I told you to be quiet, so be quiet. Why are you talking so much nonsense? You haven't stopped talking since you sat in the box. Don't let me hear your voice again at this moment. Sit down and drink tea."

After being scolded by his wife, Liu Sheng didn't dare to make a fuss. He looked at Li Mulan aggrievedly and could only drink tea quietly.

Li Mulan chuckled and gave Xu a thumbs up, saying that her sister-in-law was so powerful.

Xu gave her an expression that only the two of them could understand, and they both laughed.

"Dong dong!"

Someone knocked on the door, and it was Dongfang Corning standing outside.

He had already heard from his subordinates that his junior uncle had brought some people with him today. They were the dean and his wife of Longming Academy, that is, his great uncle and his wife.

The little person was wearing a black satin dress today, a jade crown on his head, a belt embroidered with patterns in gold thread, and a fine jade pendant hanging around his waist.

This jade pendant was given to him by Liu Sheng as a birthday gift for his first birthday.

Although the quality of this jade pendant is not as good as the one given to him by his father and mother, he also attaches great importance to it because of his father's care for it and has kept it carefully. Today, when he heard that Master Uncle was coming, he put it on specially.

The door of the box was opened from the inside, and what Dongfang Kangning saw was Liu Sheng's excited face.

"You...you are Kang'er? Come in, come in quickly."

Liu Sheng lovingly pulled him into the box, his eyes never leaving his serious little face.

Dongfang Corning was nervous, but it didn't show on his face at all.

Mrs. Xu also stood up and looked at him tenderly, "This is Kang'er. Oh, old man, look at him. He looks exactly like the third child when he was a child. They are so alike."
