A few months ago, when Han Ruzi was taken away by Yang Feng late at night, Meiren Wang was full of expectations and fantasies about the future, but now, all of this has disappeared. For her, there is only one thing that is important.

That is to let your son survive.

Han Ruzi was shocked. Strangely, his first reaction was not "not being an emperor", but his mother's name to him, "You called my name."

"Well, I am your mother, so I will naturally call you by your name."

"So, the Queen Mother still wants to destroy me?"

Meiren Wang shook her head, "I begged her to do this."

"Why?" Han Ruzi was confused. If it had been a while ago, even before the palace change, he might have accepted his mother's decision happily. But now, he is a little fond of being the emperor. Compared to his pure puppet state a few months ago, he felt that things were getting better. A group of "hard people" were willing to be loyal to him. The palace gate order, who had only seen one person, strictly implemented his will...

"You heard what the imperial concubine said. I don't want my only son to die in the palace."

"Her words may not be true, and... I will not let the Queen Mother kill me."

Beauty Wang smiled again, raised her hand and gently wiped off a piece of dust from her son's face, "Of course, how could someone kill my son so smart?"

Han Ruzi suddenly realized, "Mother, did Yang Feng bring Cui Hong's conditions to make King Donghai become emperor?"

Wang Meiren shook her head, "Teacher Cui does not have the courage. He asked Yang Feng to come and ask for peace. As long as the Queen Mother does not pursue the Cui family's crimes in this palace transformation and returns the position of Grand Sima of the Southern Army to him, he will be willing to be loyal to the Queen Mother. As for King Donghai, Taifu Cui did not mention this nephew at all."

King Donghai would be very disappointed after knowing this, but Han Ruzi is even more disappointed now, but this is his mother's request. He has never opposed his mother, so he can only bow his head and say nothing.

The gentle beauty Wang felt a little bit painful. Her son looked down at her head as she was when she was a child. She stepped forward and whispered in her son's ear: "The Empress Dowager must fight to the death with the Cui family. Whoever becomes the emperor is the victim? The King of Donghai is self-righteous and will not have a good ending. Just sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, and there will be a chance in the future."

"Opportunity?" Han Ruzi raised her head in surprise.

"The Great Chu court has become so bad. Luo Huanzhang is right. All the disputes between inside and outside the court are all about housework. I don't want you to participate. In the future, you will not only be the emperor, but also be a clean emperor."

"But...but..." Han Ruzi wanted to say that she would never have the chance to be emperor again.

"There will always be opportunities, and I will stay in the palace to help you create opportunities."

Han Ruzi was shocked and didn't care whether he was an emperor or not. "No, mother, you want to leave the palace with me. If I don't become an emperor, don't stay with the queen mother, she... she is very dangerous."

"It doesn't matter. As long as I don't fight for anything, there will be no danger. Don't worry, I won't risk my life to win you a chance, just watch it here. Once the opportunity comes, someone can notify you immediately."

"No, I will never be the emperor anymore, as long as my mother leaves the palace with me."

Wang Meiren's face turned cold, "You are no longer a child. I begged to the Empress Dowager to get this abdication. You must cherish it."

Han Ruzi dared not object to her mother anymore, "When will I... let me abdicate?"

"I'm not sure yet, it should be soon. In short, remember what I said: don't trust anyone, and don't offend anyone."

Han Ruzi nodded and began to seriously consider his life not to be an emperor. "What should those 'hard people' do? They only saved me but did not save the queen mother. Will they be retaliated?"

"You underestimate the Queen Mother. She won't fight against a group of servants, but if you are worried, I will find a way to send them all out of the palace." Wang Meiren smiled again, "You did a good job, even Wei Mother was surprised. You are a good emperor, but the timing is wrong. Good fruits cannot grow on the rotten tree. You have to wait for the tree to sprout again."

"What if... can't wait?" Han Ruzi asked carefully, for fear of annoying her mother.

Meiren Wang was not angry this time and said with a smile: "If God doesn't give you the chance to be emperor again, I would rather be an ordinary person, have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life, and have your wife and children to accompany you."

Han Ruzi felt that she was about to cry, so she forced herself to hold it back, "I really hope my mother and me..."

"No." Wang Meiren refused very simply, "Even if there is only a little chance, I will stay in the palace to watch you. And I also have to learn. In the past, I thought of being an emperor too simply. I can learn a lot by following the empress dowager."

Han Ruzi was a little frightened.

Wang Meiren stroked her son's cheek and smiled, "Silly child, I want to learn the Queen Mother's art of controlling ministers. It is not a way to kill people, and I don't believe that Emperor Si was killed by the Queen Mother."

"What about Emperor Huan?"

The smile of beauty Wang gradually disappeared, and Emperor Huan was her husband, but she had no impression of that man. "Don't ask too much, be careful after leaving the palace. You can gain allegiance from your servants. This is a good thing, but you offended many people."

"It's not that I want to offend..."

The door opened again, Yang Feng walked in, looked at the mother and son, was silent for a while, and said, "The Queen Mother, please come over."

The Empress Dowager sat alone on the chair and stared blankly at something in front of her. Yang Feng signaled that Meiren Wang would withdraw, and there were only three people left in the room.

Han Ruzi stood in front of the empress dowager. Since he was going to be deposed, he did not plan to perform the ritual of the son of man again.

"Tell him." The empress dowager said coldly, not even her eyes moving.

Yang Feng came to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty knows that he is going to abdicate?"

"Yeah." Han Ruzi's impression of this eunuch also became worse. Yang Feng only valued the emperor. Once he abdicated, it would probably never be related to him again.

"Your Majesty must write a resignation edict. Your Majesty wants to write it himself, or should I draw it for you?"

"Please write it up." Han Ruzi didn't want to fight. After agreeing to abdicate, his heart began to decline. However, after experiencing the initial shock and confusion, he felt relieved and left the palace. This was his original goal. The only regret was that his mother could not go out together.

Things went well, and Yang Feng bowed respectfully and stepped back.

The Queen Mother finally turned her eyes to the emperor, "My beauty Wang thinks you can't stand the chaos that follows. She would rather let you stay away from the throne. What do you think?"

"I believe in my mother." Han Ruzi said.

"Miss Wang thinks you still have a chance to become emperor again, but I want to tell you that this is impossible. No matter who wins and who loses with the Cui family, I will not let an abolished emperor ascend the throne again."

"I have no extravagance."

The Empress Dowager waved her hand lazily, indicating that the emperor could retreat.

Han Ruzi turned around and was about to leave, and stopped again, "Can I ask a few questions?"

The Queen Mother nodded.

"Who is Jingyao?"

"You are about to abdicate, and you still care about this kind of thing?"

"I have doubts in my heart and feel so nervous."

The Empress Dowager sneered disdainfully, "Of course Jing Yao is my person. He is in charge of the seal as a chief supervisor. He has reached the peak of the eunuch's power. What benefits can he get if he surrenders to the imperial concubine? After knowing the imperial concubine's conspiracy, he always wanted to notify me, but was isolated from Zuo Ji, so he had to give in vain. Prime Minister Yin Wuhe was able to escape from the Qinzheng Hall and the officers and soldiers could enter the palace. He had all made contributions."

"In this way, it would be a waste of my life to send the sword out of the palace."

"That's not, Jing Yao is loyal to me, but he dare not act rashly. If he waits any longer, the thief will probably really kill me."

"Luo Huanzhang is really a strange person." Among all the plotters, Han Ruzi felt the most incomprehensible to this master of national history. "One moment, he wanted to rebel, another moment, surrender, and another moment, he said that it was useless to kill the empress dowager and the emperor. The ministers outside would immediately choose a new emperor, and then prevent the plotters from killing people, saying that they did not want to have a great chaos in the world."

The Empress Dowager nodded to Yang Feng and asked him to explain to the emperor.

Yang Feng was not in the palace before, but he knew Luo Huanzhang very well and bowed to him, "Luo Huanzhang is a famous scholar in the world. He thought he was asking for his life for the people of the world. No one had a firmer position than him. Unfortunately, he was very arrogant and had low expectations. Such people started out with high fighting spirit, and once they found that things were different from what they expected, they would be disappointed. For him, things would either be done in one fell swoop or willing to accept their fate, and there was no other choice. When they were done in one fell swoop, the regicide seemed to him just a small chaos, and it would not help. When they were willing to accept their fate, the small chaos turned into a big chaos in his eyes, so he wanted to stop it."

"At the beginning, the fighting spirit was high, and when it was not going well, he was willing to accept his fate..." Han Ruzi looked at Yang Feng, feeling that these words were reminding him.

Yang Feng had nothing to do with him, and Han Ruzi got rid of this idea, "After I abdicating, will I make King Donghai the emperor?"

Yang Feng did not answer.

Han Ruzi asked again: "Cui Hong has mastered the Southern Army and the King of East China Sea has become emperor. How could the Empress Dowager defeat the Cui family?"

Yang Feng made a gesture of asking, "Your Majesty knows enough."

Han Ruzi suddenly knelt down, kowtowed to the Empress Dowager, and stood up and said, "Thank you."

Han Ruzi left the house, and the queen mother said, "It may be a mistake to let him leave the palace. This kid is threatening me and asking me to take good care of his mother."

Yang Feng bowed, "His threat is not fearful." After a moment of pause, he said again, "The Queen Mother really wants me to leave the palace?"

"Turn Cui Hong into Beijing is a serious crime you have committed. Exiting you out of the palace is the lightest punishment. Besides, there is no one in the palace who can be loyal to you. Please go out of the palace to capture your pride."

Yang Feng also knelt down and kowtowed, "Please allow me to say a crazy saying in front of the Empress Dowager: I was the one who brought the child into the palace. If I leave the palace, I will spare no effort to send him back."

"Okay." The Queen Mother yawned.

Yang Feng stood up and exited the room.

The Empress Dowager sat alone for a while, reached out and knocked on several tables twice.

The Meng brothers and sisters walked out of another warm pavilion.

"You didn't catch Chunyu Xiao?" asked the Empress Dowager.

Meng Che took a step forward, "Meng E saw that there was a fraud in front of her and insisted on returning to the palace, but the palace really changed."

This is something that Prime Minister Yin Wuhe did not mention and did not know. A large number of officers and soldiers killed the swordsmen guarding the gate, but the swordsmen in Cishun Palace were killed by the guards. Therefore, Luo Huanzhang's persuasion was easier to take effect. Therefore, Bu Hengru did not dare to kill people, and finally knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Your sister is in a hurry to come back. It's not me who wants to save, but the emperor." The queen mother stared at Meng E, "You have been loyal to the emperor for a long time. Is this your decision alone, or the common idea of ​​you and your brother and sister?"

Meng E immediately knelt down, "It was my own decision, my brother was completely unaware of it."

Meng Che showed surprise and then sighed. He had seen the signs long ago, but he didn't expect his sister to do it.

"Since that's the case, my sister will leave the palace and my brother will stay." The empress dowager waved and ordered the two to leave.

Meng E also kowtowed, Meng Che wanted to speak but stopped. Now is not the time to advise the Empress Dowager.

There was really only one person left in the room. The Queen Mother was so tired that she remembered a sentence for no reason and murmured: "I am a lonely man."

This sentence brought her some magical power, and she was ready to cause more bloody storms.
