The male protagonist has no descendants! Don't worry, the host is pregnant with many children

Chapter 477: The Heartless Regent King vs. the Scheming Princess 22

Yu's mother's eyes were already filled with tears. God was kind to her and allowed her biological daughter to return to her.

She let go of Yu Zhizhi's hand, wiped the tears from her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "Zhihuan, you must be tired. Go back and rest quickly."

Lu Zhihuan nodded and said, "Thank you for your concern, mother. You are very hard-working and should go back and rest early."

"Okay." Yu's mother felt warm in her heart after hearing this.

Lu Zhihuan turned around and tried to leave, but Yu Zhizhi continued to pester him.

"Is my sister really so magnanimous? You really don't resent me for taking over your place?"

Lu Zhihuan sneered in his heart.

She stopped, her tone full of helplessness, "I've gone through so many twists and turns, and now I've finally returned home, which is a blessing in disguise for Zhihuan.

Moreover, because you are the child that your parents have raised since childhood, they can’t bear to part with you, and I can understand that.

Although all this is caused by you, it is not you who did it!"

Yu Zhizhi was angry after hearing her words. She knew that she was trying to please him on purpose, but she couldn't expose her directly.

Mother Yu's face was filled with relief as she took Lu Zhihuan's hand and said, "The Yu family has always been harmonious. Now you can rest assured that those bad things will never happen again."

He turned to look at Yu Zhizhi again, his tone no longer filled with the care and concern he had before, "Zhizhi, don't overthink it. You know how your family is doing. Relax and don't worry about this unfounded thing."

Yu Zhizhi was unwilling to give up, so she pulled her mother and said coquettishly, "My daughter didn't sleep well last night. Zhizhi wants you to pat me and coax me to sleep like you used to."

Lu Zhihuan was a little tired and didn't have time to act with the two of them.

She smiled generously and said, "Then Zhihuan will go back and rest first." After she finished speaking, she took Xuancao away.

Mrs. Yu looked at her back. This child was so sensible that it made her feel distressed. Then she looked at Yu Zhizhi and felt very tired.

She has to take care of the household and deal with her mother-in-law, so she has no time to coax Yu Zhizhi.

"Zhizhi, you are not a three-year-old child. Why do you need someone to coax you to sleep? Stop having such wild thoughts and go back to your room quickly!" His tone left no room for refusal.

A few days passed in a flash, and Lu Zhihuan was forced to learn how to be a lady and the rules.

After all, she has to find someone to marry.

Xie Zhao has been extremely busy these days and is now rushing to the palace.

Today, the little emperor went to the Cining Palace to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager during his lunch break on a whim, but he accidentally ran into the Empress Dowager hanging out with someone.

The young emperor felt ashamed and embarrassed, and didn't know what to do with the empress dowager. He had no choice but to order the regent to come to the palace.

The Regent's carriage went directly to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

The person sent by the Queen Mother to invite the General of Cavalry had been stopped by Xie Zhao.

She was making a big fuss in the Yangxin Palace at this time, and she wanted to delay it until her brother came.

But she didn't expect that it was Xie Zhao who came first, and he came so quickly. She was even more convinced that what happened today must have been intentional by the Regent.

When the young emperor heard that Xie Zhao was coming, he quickly stood up to greet him.

"Ninth Uncle."

Xie Zhao's brows furrowed. He stopped and raised his hand in salute. "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

Seeing this, the young emperor quickly stopped and said with an air of maturity, "Uncle, no need to be polite."

Xie Zhao raised his hand and the little emperor walked in front.

The empress dowager stood in the ruins, looking at Xie Zhao behind the little emperor with unfriendly eyes.

"It's a pity that the prince trusted you so much, but you plotted against me. The Regent is truly powerful."

Xie Zhao stopped and looked at the Queen Mother coldly, "Queen Mother, there is no such thing as an impenetrable wall."

He actually admitted that he knew about this. The little emperor looked up at him in astonishment.

Xie Zhao said calmly, "If the Emperor's nephew had not been so young, I would never have dealt with him in secret."

The Queen Mother's face turned pale, and it turned out that he was the one who caused the mysterious disappearance of the person before.

However, she would grasp the key point: "There really is someone of yours in this palace."

Xie Zhao raised his eyes and said nonchalantly, "The Queen Mother is wrong. If everyone in this palace were my people, how could such a scandal happen?"

He paused slightly, then opened his thin lips. "The General of the Cavalry is responsible for everything inside and outside the palace, yet he has failed to even take care of the Empress Dowager. He is guilty of such dereliction of duty."

After saying this, he looked at the little emperor with unquestionable majesty in his eyes, quietly waiting for his reaction.

The little emperor sat up straight and looked at him for help.

Xie Zhao's face was expressionless, his voice was cold, "Your Majesty, you hold the highest position of honor, you were first the ruler of the world, and then the empress dowager's son.

The dignity of the royal family must not be violated, and the laws of our ancestors must not be abolished lightly."

The young emperor understood and issued an order with a solemn look on his face, "Come here, all the palace servants in the Cining Palace will be beaten to death."

"The emperor's son." The Queen Mother exclaimed.

The young emperor's expression was somewhat grim, as if he was having difficulty speaking. "Mother, your actions violate palace rules, and I cannot forgive you. You should cultivate yourself in the palace. I will announce to the public that you have been frightened and need to pray to the Buddha in peace. No one is allowed to disturb you."

He would replace the Queen Mother with someone he trusted and closely monitor her every move, thus preserving her title of Queen Mother and maintaining superficial harmony within the royal family.

The Queen Mother immediately sensed something was amiss, and the next moment she heard the young emperor say, "The General of the Cavalry was charged with the important task of guarding the palace, but he neglected his duty, causing the Queen Mother to be frightened. He bears the blame.

The General of the Cavalry was transferred to a sinecure, stripped of his military authority, and ordered to confine himself to his palace for three months to reflect on his mistakes. As for the palace guards, they were handed over to Chen Qi, the son of the General who Protects the Nation.

The young eunuch at the side took notes, bowed to the emperor and the regent, and then went down to announce the decree.

"No, you come back." The Queen Mother's chest heaved violently as she watched the palace maid leave. Unable to bear it any longer, she turned around and said sternly, "My son, you are confused!"

Xie Zhao's face was solemn, and his voice was steady and unquestionable, "Empress Dowager, although the Emperor is young, the royal majesty is inviolable."

The Queen Mother was trembling with anger. She glared at Xie Zhao, "I'm only thirty-three, and I spend every night alone in this cold palace. I have a son but I can't raise him myself. Do I deserve to be so lonely?"

Xie Zhao's eyes were as cold as ice, and his tone was deep in chill, "Empress Dowager, as the model of the harem, you enjoy all the honors and must shoulder the corresponding responsibilities and rules.

The whole world is watching. How can I disrupt the rules and regulations of the palace because of my own desires?

The Emperor's nephew has shown some mercy by doing this."

The young emperor's eyes were filled with disappointment, "Mother, if this matter were to get out, it would surely cause unrest in the government and the people.

By then, it will definitely not end like this. Do you want me to be ashamed to face my ancestors and abdicate in favor of someone more capable?"

The Queen Mother collapsed on the ground, sobbing bitterly, "Wuwuwu...it was just a moment of confusion, a moment of confusion!"

"I will never allow the foundation laid by our ancestors to be destroyed by my hands. Mother, you have to take care of yourself." The little emperor waved his hand, and soon the empress dowager was taken away.

Xie Zhao coughed lightly a few times and said, "Your Majesty, I am not feeling well. It is time for me to go home and take medicine."
