The doctor said I can only eat soft rice

Jin Zhu was still staring at all the kneeling palace servants.

Sharp gazes slid across everyone's faces and necks, as if they were looking for the traces left by the affair, or thinking about how to separate them.

Hearing the little emperor's steady breathing, Jin Zhu got up silently, ready to take the palace servants down for interrogation.

As soon as he moved, he felt a weak pull on the sleeve.

Jin Zhu looked down, the little emperor's white and slender fingers were pinching his sleeves, holding them tightly.

No matter how tight it is, it's just a matter of him waving his hand.

Jinzhu stood there, unable to make a move for a long time.

The little emperor must have not slept well last night, his face was full of exhaustion, he couldn't bear to wake up the little emperor who had just fallen asleep.

But those palace people...

Jin Zhu stared at the little emperor's tired face, his dark eyes were full of emotions.

After a while, he took a dagger from his body and cut off the sleeve.

The king is not allowed to carry weapons when entering the palace, but when the palace is full of people from the regent, no rules can restrict him.

Jinzhu took away the palace servants who served the emperor, and let the imperial guards guard the emperor for the time being.

Chi Ruanfan was not aware of these changes.

He had a good night's sleep, and when he woke up, Jin Zhu was sitting next to him listening to the opera, and the palace officials bowed their heads and waited beside him, showing fear in their obedience.

It's normal to be afraid, the regent is here.

All in all, except that he was holding a piece of the regent's sleeve fabric in his hand, everything was fine.

Chi Ruanfan looked at the fabric in his hand, a little shocked and bewildered.

The cloth was cut neatly, obviously cut by a sharp weapon, not torn by him.

Then... it shouldn't be his business, right?

Jin Zhu noticed Chi Ruanfan's awakening, he looked sideways, his eyes paused on the sleeve for a moment, and then quickly moved away.

He asked bluntly, "Why didn't you sleep well last night?"

It was difficult for Chi Ruan Fan to answer this question.

You can't say that his dream is full of memorials, right?The regent must suspect that he is about to seize power.

Chi Ruanfan sat up, put his arms around Jin Zhu's waist from behind, lay on his back, put his chin on his shoulder, and said:

"With Uncle Wang not by my side, I can't sleep at night."

He knew that the regent took this trick.

The regent has been a soldier for half his life, and he has never married after returning to Beijing to take power. He has no wife or children so far.

I like him the most, relying on him like a child.

Chi Ruanfan thought the regent would touch his head, and sighed that he was childish.

But the other party didn't do anything, just sat quietly, so quiet that people were shocked.

"Uncle Wang?" Chi Ruanfan called tentatively.

Only then did Jinzhu react, he raised his hand to cover the back of his hand, did not answer his words, but said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty has reached the crown, and it's time to choose a concubine."

Chi Ruanfan was shocked.

Concubine?

Which concubine to choose?

Absolutely can not choose concubine!

The choice of this concubine is not only a matter of how many people in the harem, but also how many families and forces stand behind him.

Even if they don't all stand up, more or less pressure will be poured on him.

Chi Ruanfan would never allow such a thing to happen.

He doesn't want to fight for power with the regent, nor does he want to push the regent, he doesn't need anyone's allegiance, he only wants the regent's regime to be stable.

Seeing the courtiers loyal to the regent, Chi Ruanfan was happier than seeing them loyal to himself.

Besides, the regent is not a fool, how could he really choose a concubine for him?

It's just a test.

"I don't want a concubine," Chi Ruanfan said firmly, "I will live with Uncle Wang for the rest of my life, and I don't want anyone else."

Jin Zhu turned around and looked directly into Chi Ruanfan's eyes.

He raised his hand, stroked Chi Ruanfan's face with his thumb, and the other four fingers fell on his jaw and neck.

"Really?" Jin Zhu asked.

Chi Ruanfan: "Really."

—Your hands are on my neck, dare I not take it seriously?

Jin Zhu smiled lightly, and said, "Just as His Majesty said."

Don't want a concubine, live with him for the rest of your life.

Yesterday, when the little emperor came to court, those people who were already restless became even more eager to move.

In the early morning today, the Minister of Rites mentioned that the emperor had reached the crown, but the harem was empty, so he should choose a concubine to be the queen.

That sentence has multiple meanings.

It stands to reason that when the emperor comes of age, the regent should return the power to the emperor.

If you don't return the power, you will choose a concubine for the emperor.

Jin Zhu didn't want to choose any of them.

Restoration is impossible.

Once power is gone, he and those who follow him will have no way to survive.

It's not okay to choose a concubine for the little emperor.

Whether it's a concubine or a prince, it will cause changes in the court situation, making some officials stand behind the little emperor, or turning some people into two-headed grass.

After hearing the words of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, Jin Zhu felt displeased and felt angry that his things were being coveted.

At first, Jin Zhu thought that what she was angry about was that power was coveted.

Until he saw the tired little emperor, who mistakenly thought that the palace servant climbed up the dragon couch and became even more angry.

Until he cut off his sleeve because he couldn't bear to wake up the little emperor...

Only then did Jin Zhu realize that part of his anger came from the little emperor being coveted.

Fortunately, the little emperor is smart enough and good enough.

——Don’t want a concubine, spend a lifetime with Uncle Wang, don’t want others.

Jin Zhu was very happy when he heard this sentence.

Even if he knew that the little emperor was forced to succumb to his power, he was still happy.
