Quick Wear: The Crazy Lord God is again training the sweet host

Chapter 165 The Delicate Little Emperor Is So Unruly (46)

After Eunuch Fu returned, he brought Wen Luo's empty bowl to Xing Chen.

Xing Chen held the bowl and looked at the scratches on it with great satisfaction.

"I knew he would like it. Look, he even scraped the bottom of the bowl clean."

Eunuch Fu praised without blushing, "It seems that Your Majesty also has his own unique insights in cooking."

"Of course not. Others may not know, but I naturally know the taste of the emperor's uncle."

Wen Luo always couldn't help but praise him for being sweet, and liked to nibble on him, so adding more sugar would definitely be a good idea.

Those nourishing herbs smell so bad, so put plenty of sugar in them and boil them until they are thick to cover up the smell of the herbs, and naturally they won’t taste so bad anymore.

Xing Chen's only regret was that he was too slow in turning the pan, and the bottom was a little burnt.

But it doesn’t matter, it’s just the color and it doesn’t affect the sweet taste.

When it comes to food, taste is the most important thing.

"Did you give him the letter, too?"

"Give it."

"That's fine."

During the days that Wen Luo entered Xiyuan Palace, Xing Chen was also very busy.

Memorials from the Censorate once again came in like snowflakes, all of which impeached him for his treatment of the Regent and accused him of being ungrateful in a roundabout way.

The mouths of these censors seemed to be blessed, and they could curse people at length without using any dirty words.

Xing Chen looked at it at first, but then he just threw it aside and let them curse if they wanted.

The morning court was no longer as peaceful as before.

Zhao Chen's followers naturally would not stop all of a sudden, and they began to show signs of counterattack.

Their main point was that since the Regent had entered the Xiyuan Palace with a crime in his name, his seal of command should be taken back. Otherwise, if any unusual changes occurred in southern Xinjiang, the country would be leaderless and would be unable to respond in time.

For them, no matter what Zhao Chen's next move is, the most urgent task now is to take advantage of this opportunity to seize all the military power of the Regent.

If they want to take it away, there will naturally be another group of people who won't let them.

As a result, the morning court session held every seven days once again became a bustling vegetable market.

Xing Chen used his procrastination skills, and in the end everything just had to be taken off.

Don't offend this side, don't agree to the other side, just keep dragging it out.

On the other hand, the position of the commander of the Imperial Guards was vacant. Before Yan Huan left, he recommended several candidates to him. During this period of time, he investigated the family backgrounds of those people for three generations, which was considered a political review.

He also secretly set up some assessments, and asked those who passed the assessment to come to see the emperor one by one. After he had a detailed conversation with them in person, he selected one of them for promotion.

What gave him the most headache was Queen Dowager Zhao in the harem.

In the evening after the banquet, Xing Chen went to see her. She closed the door and made Xing Chen stand outside for half an hour without opening the door.

Xing Chen had no choice but to go back.

That night, Xing Chen was almost driven to pieces by Wen Luo, and he felt almost paralyzed when he woke up in the morning.

Da Huang remotely helped him recover his body and block the pain, but he still felt something was wrong that day.

When I got out of bed to pee, it felt like my legs didn't exist.

That day he gritted his teeth and refused to see anyone, lying in bed all day.

In the evening, he dragged his tired body to the door of Queen Dowager Zhao.

Queen Mother Zhao refused to see him again.

Da Huang told Xing Chen that Queen Mother Zhao had been lying in bed since she came back from the banquet.

He stopped petting the cat, playing mahjong, and even refused to eat.

Xing Chen didn't know whether she was blaming herself for being wrong, or was angry that he had kept all these things from her and used her to hold Zhao Chen back.

The next day we returned empty-handed again.

It was not until the third day when he visited the thatched cottage for the third time that the Queen Mother Zhao opened the door to see him.

As soon as Xing Chen met her, he asked her directly, "Has mother thought it through?"

"Can I still replace you if I don't want to? I finally understand why you don't want to leave a son or daughter. Without a child, I can only rely on you. With a child, you are still worried that I will abandon the father and keep the son, right?"

"You worry too much, mother. You are not that stupid."

"Oh, that sounds nice."

"Mother, our goal is to stabilize the Xiao family. Your son's actions may seem too aggressive, but I did this after careful consideration."

"But don't forget one thing. Zhao Chen in Northern Xinjiang can be replaced by someone else, but Wen Luo in Southern Xinjiang cannot be replaced by anyone casually."

"Of course I haven't forgotten."

"But now, although you have not removed his seal of command, you have allowed him to live with the deposed crown prince. People outside are speculating that you want to depose him. I have also heard that there are many voices in the court who are condemning him and asking him to hand over his seal of command."

"The Queen Mother is really well-informed."

"Humph, you don't have to be so sarcastic."

"I didn't. I just wanted to say that since my mother knows about this, she should take some time to persuade them. The ones who are most loyal to you are the ones who jump the most fiercely."

"You knew you had a mother when you needed her?"

"What are you saying, mother? Didn't I deliberately hide it from you before? Uncle is your biological brother. Wasn't I afraid that you would be soft-hearted?"

"He is my biological brother or my biological son."

"I'm not going to relieve you from worry."

"You always make sense."

"Mother, please feel sorry for your son and help me to suppress them. I will leave my uncle and his care to you. He is sick at home now."

"Let him feel wronged for a few days. Who wouldn't feel wronged after encountering such a thing? However, this is what he deserves. It's his own fault that his ambitions are getting bigger and bigger."

"Thank you for your understanding, mother."

Queen Mother Zhao sighed and shook her head.

"You don't plan to remove the regent seal, which means you still plan to use him. But you locked him up in Xiyuan Palace and put him in the same category as Xiao Xian. Can you guarantee that he can still be used by you after he comes out?"

Xing Chen smiled, with a determined look on his face.

"If it wasn't possible, I wouldn't have locked him up."

Queen Mother Zhao was puzzled: "What's the reason for this?"

Xing Chen raised his eyebrows proudly: "This is the reasoning that he and I discussed together."

Queen Mother Zhao frowned tightly, stared at Xing Chen for a while, then stood up suddenly.

"wrong......"

Xing Chen said with a smile: "Mother, tell me what's wrong."

"You didn't intend to move Wenluo at all. You put him in front of your uncle just to kill the chicken to scare the monkey and make your uncle give up the resistance."

"That's right. Even the regent's son said to act, so my uncle naturally didn't dare to take any other action.

Moreover, since Wen Luo had surrendered, he would naturally feel that he, his son, was ready for everything.

Well, you compared the Regent to a chicken, he probably wouldn't be happy to hear that."

Queen Mother Zhao was no longer in the mood to joke with him.

"Shen'er, you are so stupid. You have joined forces with the Regent. Aren't you afraid that all this will only serve as a favor to others?"

"What if his life is in my hands?"

"......What?"

"My queen heard you right. His life is in my hands. Just appease those ministers and my uncle. As for the rest, please wait for good news."

Queen Mother Zhao looked dazed. She sighed for a while and then sat down.

"After all, I am old and timid. Since you are confident, just do it."

She looked up at the roof, as if looking through the carved beams at the blue sky outside.

"Even if I really lose, I can still be free and unrestrained. It's better than sitting in a high position in fear for the rest of my life."
