Yu'er stared under the bed curtain, revealing the toes of her little shoes.
He held his breath and walked to the bed very lightly.
He won't admit it, those are his sister's shoes!
The queen mother and her sister escaped from Renhe Palace? Hiding with him?
Yu'er walked to the bed tent, his heart pounding... He didn't know what the problem was between his father and his mother.
But apparently, the two men now disagree.
Before Yu'er opened the bed curtain, she asked herself a question, if his parents turned against each other... whose side would he side with?
"Shua——"
Yu'er suddenly opened the thick curtain.
His father was looking for his crazy mother, who was sitting beside his bed.
Yu'er quickly looked outside.
The door of his palace was closed, and no one in the palace was in the room.
Yu'er glanced at the bed again, only her mother was alone.
"Mother, where is my sister?" he asked in a low voice.
Wen Jin also whispered, "She is in a very safe place. It is inconvenient to take her with me now."
Yu'er was startled, "Isn't she in the palace? Who did the Queen Mother entrust her to? Is that person reliable?"
Wen Jin took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, Yue'er is safe. What happened to the emperor? Why did he put me under house arrest? And he said he wouldn't let anyone hurt me? Who wants to hurt me?"
Yu'er was startled...
So, was my father really threatened by something... and all he did was to protect his mother?
Yu'er frowned.
If the father was trying to protect his mother, would he still tell her?
"Yu'er, you've been in Kyoto, what do you know?" Wen Jin asked.
Yu'er looked up at her mother.
He suddenly remembered that when he was a child, he liked to study various poisonous insects and weeds... Of course his mother knew that it was very dangerous. But her mother never stopped her because of her own inner fear.
She would tell herself where the poisonous insects are most toxic and it is best not to touch them, and how to detoxify them if they are stung by poisonous insects.
Which kind of poisonous weed is highly poisonous and which kind of antidote should be used... She would patiently tell herself.
Of course, he kept making mistakes and getting hurt all the time.
Mother always prepared silver needles and antidotes, and even planted pieces of herbs in the Wutong Courtyard to heal him...
So much so that later on, he could easily identify various poisons, and even developed a physique that was invulnerable to all poisons...
Yu'er thought of this and made up her mind.
He cleared his throat and said, "Father is going to have a meeting today and decree that the female schools will be closed down, female teachers will be dismissed, and female accountants and clerks will not be allowed to be hired..."
Wen Jin frowned, and she squinted her eyes and thought for a while.
"What are the steps required from issuing a decree to implementing it?"
Yu'er said quickly, "Father's decree will be written by the cabinet and sent back to him to be stamped with a jade seal. Then the cabinet will copy it, seal it, and send it to the post station. From the post station, it will be sent to all levels of government offices across the country."
Wen Jin took a deep breath and said, "There is still time. Where is the will now?"
Yu'er said, "It should be in the cabinet."
Wen Jin looked at him intently, "Yu'er, your father is doing something irrational. Women's strength and wisdom should be seen and recognized.
"But what he does now is tantamount to denying all women. I don't know what he went through to make such a decision.
"But the sages teach us that if a close relative, or even a respected person, makes a mistake, what should we do?"
Yu'er said without hesitation, "Admonish, stop!"
Wen Jin nodded, "Do you have troops in the East Palace? You lead the twelve guards of the East Palace, surround the cabinet, and prevent the issuance of this edict!"
Yu'er took a breath and coughed violently.
"Mother, Queen Mother, are you blatantly resisting the decree?!" Yu'er's eyes widened.
Wen Jin looked at him and said, "Then what else can you do to prevent the issuance of this edict?"
Yu'er opened her mouth, but no sound came out.
"Over the years, the unremitting efforts of many people have led to today's situation. Both Chen and Song countries also looked at the Liang Kingdom and gradually improved the status of women.
"Have all the women in this world made such a big mistake that they should be treated like this?"
Wen Jin sighed, "If this edict is issued, how many people's hearts will be hurt?"
"Should women, who have had their first taste of freedom and equality, rise up to resist? Or should they silently bear such a blow, silently give in, and remain indifferent?"
Yu'er frowned, "This..."
"If they rise up to resist, are they resisting the decree?" Wen Jin asked.
Yu'er nodded, "I understand, my queen. As you hold a high position, you should assume more responsibilities and be more brave and fearless."
Wen Jin smiled when she heard this. She stretched out her hand to touch her son's head, "Be careful in everything, treat your father... with a strong yet gentle touch."
Yu'er nodded heavily, "I understand, Queen Mother... you should hide here first!"
Wen Jin said, "Okay, I'll contact the Imperial Master and the Grand Tutor."
"Last night, after my father asked his son to return to the East Palace, he left Imperial Master Zhou behind and talked for a long time. Where does the Imperial Master stand... The Queen Mother must be careful." Yu'er said cautiously.
Mother and son split up.
Yu'er led the prince's twelve guards to surround the cabinet.
Wen Jin originally wanted to contact Zhou Lingfeng first...but after hearing Yu'er's words, she decided to contact Han Xian first.
Han Xian just got up from his meditation at this moment.
Outside the door were the voices of two women talking.
Bai Xian came to see Zi Su, "Master, haven't you woken up yet? It's already been three o'clock in the morning!"
"Hush! Master is not awake, he is meditating! He is practicing!" Zisu waved his hand at her.
"That Master Que has already gone to the town to hire a carriage. If the master is still awake, we are afraid that we really have to take the carriage and bump all the way back to the capital?" Bai Xian was about to cry without tears, "It's so far and bumpy to go back. Falling apart?"
Han Xian was in the room and listened silently for a while.
He understood clearly that the girl named Zisu had been standing guard outside his door all night.
Just to persuade him to use Taoism to send Bai Xian and others back to Beijing.
Han Xian creaked and opened the door.
The white-fiber Zisu immediately took a step forward, squatted down and saluted.
"Master, you brought us here yesterday using Taoism. Please send us back today! When we went from the military camp to Kyoto last year, there were so many people, but you were able to do it. Today, for you, , it will definitely work!" Bai Xian said.
Han Xian frowned and glanced at her, "The leader has an explanation..."
Zi Su said from the side, "Yesterday, the slave family heard the nobleman's explanation. The nobleman told you not to use such energy-consuming Taoism without any trouble!"
Han Xian nodded. This Zisu could indeed speak.
Listening to her talk, people feel extremely comfortable... His method consumes a lot of money!
"But now, something is happening! Something happened in Kyoto, otherwise, the noble man would not be so anxious to go back!" Zisu said, "Now that the big event is going on, you are not by your side. Even if you are capable, wouldn't it be beyond your reach? You have to go back to help. Noble one!"
Zi Su smiled and pointed at Bai Xian, "They are just taking advantage of you and taking advantage of your convenience to go back together. Of course, we can't help you with Taoism, but if it can be useful in the future, This place, Master, just talk to us!"
Han Xian's heart moved.
Zisu's words pierced his heart.
Isn't he anxious to go back and help his junior sister? How about letting them follow?
Anyway, he would go back alone, and he would go back with them...
"Han Xian! Senior brother! Can you hear my voice? I'm Wen Jin!" A familiar voice suddenly sounded in Han Xian's ears.
