Chapter 270
Liu Yuanbao clapped his hands happily, glanced at Situ An proudly, and then rubbed towards Liu An'an.

As soon as his calf took two steps, he was completely lifted up.

Situ An said coldly:
"Have you taken a bath? Just lean on your mother."

Liu Yuanbao waved his two short arms, and looked at Situ An with bared teeth and claws:
"Baby will wash at night."

"Then let's talk about it after you wash."

Situ An directly carried him into the room.

Liu An'an helplessly spread his hands to Yao Yan, and followed him.

Qin Qi didn't faint for a long time this time, and he woke up at night. He could also feel that his physical condition was not good, so he quickly told them what he needed to do.

Liu An'an and the others didn't make any further requests this time, and followed his words.

Qin Qi has been missing for several days, and the Empress Dowager has been governing behind a curtain.

But seeing the more and more panic in the court, she gradually became unable to suppress it.

Holding her forehead, she asked Bai Chumeng:

"Didn't you contact your former uncle? How is it?"

"They... don't intend to intervene."

Bai Chumeng spoke weakly, her eyes were red, and she looked like she was about to cry.

The queen mother was upset when she saw her like this.

At the beginning Qin Qi wanted to accept her as a concubine, the queen mother was unwilling to think about the past, but thinking that there were some important ministers behind her, she just turned a blind eye.

Fortunately, Qin Qi was not as infatuated with her as before.

But at a time like this, it's fine for this woman to be so useless, and she just knows that crying is annoying.

The queen mother waved her hand irritably, and said to her:
"Go back to your palace and rest, Ai's family is about to go to court."

"Mother..."

Bai Chumeng said weakly:

"Can I go with you? I don't want to let go."

"What do you want to say, just wait in the harem."

The queen mother said this unceremoniously, and directly ordered someone to send her back, and then called someone to come over to dress her up, and went to court to deal with those difficult ministers.

The people in the main hall today are the most evenly lined up.

Many people who were dissatisfied with Qin Qi did not come a few days ago.

The queen mother frowned, knowing that these ministers must be plotting something.

Sitting upright behind the curtain, she said slowly:
"What are you going to do today?"

Immediately, a minister stood up and said:

"Empress Dowager, now that His Majesty is not here, the court situation is uneasy, and the teaching ministers and others are really worried. I also ask the Empress Dowager to preside over and elect a regent to act as the government."

Choose a regent?

The queen mother sneered and did not answer his words.

A needle could be heard in the hall, and the person who stood up first had cold sweat on his forehead, feeling worried.

After a long time, he heard the empress dowager say again:

"Anything else?"

"The Queen Mother."

The minister hastily stepped forward,
"Please also look at this question directly, if His Majesty really..."

He didn't say what he said later, but everyone understood what it meant.

The queen mother was a little annoyed, she patted the seat, stared at the minister and said viciously:
"What? Master Chen is impatient to usurp the throne?"

Master Chen hurriedly knelt down and said in panic:
"The Empress Dowager clearly understands that I absolutely did not mean this. I just made this suggestion in consideration of the current situation. I don't dare to think about the position of Regent at all."

"You don't dare, but in this hall, the Ai family sees that there are quite a few people who dare."

Through the curtain, the queen mother swept everyone's sharp eyes.

There is disdain and fear among them.

The queen mother opened her mouth, and just about to say something, another minister came out.

Her eyes also fell on him.

The man bowed respectfully to the queen mother, raised his face, and said solemnly:

"Queen Mother, there was no news when the servants of the minister went to look for His Majesty, but just this morning, one of the guards of the minister found His Majesty's..."

He paused, although his expression didn't change much, but there was a flash of excitement and sinisterness in his eyes very quickly:

"Although the person I found has changed beyond recognition, he is wearing the clothes that His Majesty passed on before leaving the palace, and he also wears His Majesty's jade pendant..."

"What did you say?"

The queen mother stood up abruptly, lifted the curtain and came out from behind.

She rushed to the minister, stared at him, gritted her teeth and said:

"Wu Shangshu, you'd better think about it before you speak. The Ai family will give you another chance. What do you think is wrong with my son?"

Wu Shangshu lowered his eyes slightly, and said unhurriedly:

"I don't want this to be true, but I have already brought the corpse, so the Queen Mother can identify it."

As he spoke, he clapped his hands twice, and suddenly two people came in carrying a dead body from outside.

The queen mother ruthlessly pushed Wu Shangshu away, and staggered over.

She leaned on the edge of the reed mat and lifted the white cloth with trembling hands.

When she saw the familiar figure, her whole body felt dark, and she almost fainted.

"The Empress Dowager."

The servant quickly supported her.

Wu Shangshu straightened his clothes, with a proud expression on his face:

"Queen Mother, you should have seen who this is. Since His Majesty has encountered an accident, we should choose a new master in due course."

The queen mother pressed her forehead, glared at him fiercely, and uttered a few words between her mouth:
"You wolfish ambition."

Wu Shangshu smiled contemptuously,
"The Empress Dowager said carefully, Your Majesty is dead, and the country cannot be without a king for a day. This is helpless. Please forgive me. As for this candidate, I think that the youngest son of King Wu Jing is very good."

That prince was only five years old, so if he ascended the throne, wouldn't he become a puppet for them to play around with?

The queen mother bit her lips and teeth, feeling a buzzing in her head, sadness and anger almost devouring her, she was trying her best not to faint.

Seeing that she was silent, Wu Shangshu continued to speak arrogantly:
"However, the young prince is really young and can't bear the heavy responsibility. The minister is willing to recommend himself to be the regent. What does the Queen Mother think?"

There was a turmoil among the ministers in the court, but Wu Shangshu had already prepared for it, and many of his people were around him. For a while, the court was silent like a cicada.

The pride and greed on his face couldn't be concealed.

With a wave of his hand, he said domineeringly:
"The Empress Dowager was unconscious, so she went to fetch Your Majesty's jade seal, and the minister sealed it for him."

Seeing that the waiter was not moving, he kicked:
"You bastard, what are you still doing here, why don't you hurry up and get the jade seal? Are you trying to lose your head by letting me wait here?"

Such an arrogant tone and demeanor, even the arrogance of claiming to be the king, made the ministers dare not speak out, and stared at him secretly, feeling a little desperate in their hearts.

at this time--

"I just want to see, who dares to touch the Jade Seal of Chuan Kingdom?"
