Chen Ya had been staying at Qian Feng's house.
Qian Feng was the prime minister of a country. He was extremely busy every day. He either went to discuss state affairs with the emperor or met with officials at home. Occasionally, he would go to his wife and concubines to do something inappropriate for children. Most of the time, he was just like a normal man.
Chen Ya had been with Qian Feng for more than a month. She was bored to death.
Just when Chen Ya felt that if Qian Feng continued to be like this, she would not dare to go back, a man appeared.
Chen Ya did not know this man, but she heard Qian Feng call him the Regent.
Speaking of this, it was necessary to mention the current emperor.
Ten years ago, the former emperor chose to abdicate because he had no children. He passed the throne to his half-brother, who called himself the Retired Emperor.
However, before the emperor abdicated, in order to ensure his stability, he divided the political power and military power in his hands into two halves. The political power was given to the current emperor, and the military power was given to the Regent for safekeeping. They also said that they cooperated to govern the country.
The Regent had hundreds of thousands of soldiers in his hands. After a long time, he naturally had some other thoughts, not to mention the thing he found ten years ago.
After finding that the current emperor's position was a little strange, the Regent colluded with Qian Feng. Every two months, they would discuss how to overthrow the current emperor's regime.
Today was the day when the Regent and Qian Feng met.
Unlike the smile on the Regent's face every time he saw Qian Feng before, this time the Regent's face was full of irritation.
As soon as the Regent came in, he directly looked at Qian Feng and said, "He's gone."
Qian Feng's face froze. He hurriedly stood up from the stool and asked anxiously, "How could he be gone?"
The Regent shook his head. "I don't know. My people told me that after the abbot passed away last month, Qing Feng left, and he also took Jiujiu away."
At the thought of Qing Feng taking away Jiujiu, the Regent's eyes were bloodshot.
When he raised Jiujiu to the point where she could be picked, she was taken away by Qing Feng, the little bald donkey. Thinking of this, the Regent could vomit blood.
Qian Feng didn't care much about Jiujiu, but when he heard that Qing Feng was gone, he was particularly anxious. "Qing Feng is gone. What about our plan?"
Qing Feng was the most important part of the plan. If they couldn't find Qing Feng, they would have to change their plan completely.
For this plan, Qian Feng and the Regent had spent several years. It was impossible for them to give up. The Regent's eyes darkened as he said, "Search first. If you can't find it, I have my own ways."
It would be best if he could find Qing Feng. If he couldn't, he would find an identical one.
All they needed was a reason. As for whether the reason was real or not, that was up to the benevolent and the wise to the wise.
Chen Ya, who had originally thought that she would be able to return after staying for a few more days, felt unwell after hearing this shocking secret.
After the Regent left, Chen Ya immediately floated into the room to find Jiujiu and tell her what she had heard.
When Jiujiu said that Qian Feng was worthy to be the little monk's father, Chen Ya thought that Jiujiu might be talking nonsense. But after hearing the words of Qian Feng and the Regent today, Chen Ya realized that Jiujiu was not talking nonsense. Qian Feng was really not worthy to be the little monk's father.
Because the little monk's father was the late emperor.
But when thinking of this, Chen Ya couldn't help muttering in her heart. Didn't they say that the late emperor gave the throne to his younger brother because he had no son? How did the little monk come about?
Also, the Regent just said Jiujiu's name.
Chen Ya told him about how the Regent had said her name.
Previously, the old nun and the magistrate had discussed to offer Jiujiu as a tribute to some prince, but Jiujiu thought it was just an ordinary prince. But now when she heard Chen Ya say that the Regent took the initiative to mention his name, she realized that the old nun and the magistrate were both the Regent's people. And she was not an ordinary orphan girl, but the Regent specially sent her to the old nun and raised her carefully.
Moreover, according to Chen Ya's description, Jiujiu probably figured out what happened in her previous life.
It should be that the old nun pretended to sell Ming Yue to a businessman, and then the Regent saved her halfway.
The little girl had a hero's dream in her heart, let alone a man like the Regent who was noble and had real power.
Although the Regent might be older, his temperament and aura could make up for it. As long as he was willing, even if Ming Yue had Qing Feng in her heart, she would slowly fall in love with the Regent in his hands.
There was nothing wrong with the old nun and the Regent's idea, but Ming Yue's heart was full of Qing Feng, and unfortunately, she fell off the cliff and died when she was running away. It could be said that man proposes but God disposes.
However, what bothered Jiujiu more was the conversation between Qian Feng and the Regent. It was obvious that the two of them wanted to usurp the throne, but they didn't want to bear the name of rebels, so they were going to use Qing Feng as a raft.
Now Qing Feng was like a piece of Tang Seng's meat, which everyone wanted.
Chen Ya looked at Jiujiu with a worried face and asked, "How are you going to protect the little monk?"
Originally, the Regent's group was looking for Qing Feng, but now Jiujiu and Qing Feng came to the capital and stayed under their nose. It was really a good thing.
Jiujiu rested her chin on her hand, looked at Chen Ya and said, "Let's take the initiative."
All the land in the world belonged to the king.
If the Regent and Qian Feng wanted to find a little monk, they would be able to find him even if they ran to the ends of the earth. Moreover, the Regent wanted to usurp the throne. Even if there were no little monks, he could find countless little monks.
After all, Qing Feng's identity was too special. No matter which side found Qing Feng, it was inevitable that he would die. She was Qing Feng's future wife, so she naturally wanted to protect Qing Feng's life. As for the others, they had nothing to do with her.
Both the Regent and the Emperor were narrow-minded people. No matter who sat on the throne, the only thing waiting for Qing Feng was death.
Instead of letting them decide Qing Feng's life and death, it was better for her to decide their fate.
Feeling the ruthlessness from Jiujiu, Chen Ya asked, "Although you are powerful, can you let the little monk be the emperor?"
Although Chen Ya had not seen the world, she knew that the person who could be the emperor couldn't have a good heart.
A person like the little monk was not suitable to be the emperor at all.
Jiujiu looked at Chen Ya and said slowly, "I heard that the Fifth Prince is known for his benevolence and righteousness. What do you think about letting him be the emperor?"
Jiujiu said it lightly, as if letting the Fifth Prince be the emperor was not worth mentioning, just like the good weather today.
