Did the Prince Regent Denounce Me Today?
About This Novel
On the day of the coronation ceremony, I was only twelve years old. The dragon robe was too big, with three layers inside and three outside, which made me breathless. The beautiful beads hung in front of my eyes, flickering, making me dizzy. I sat on the cold dragon chair, my palms were all sweaty and I didn't dare to wipe them. The queen mother stood behind the bead curtain, her voice as gentle as coaxing a child: "Your Majesty, it's time for all the officials to salute." I nodded. All civil and military officials in the court knelt on the ground and shouted long live. Sounds came from all directions in the hall, like a tide, trying to drown me. I said mechanically, "Everyone is equal," but my eyes were searching the crowd. He's at the front. Wearing a black python robe and a jade belt, she looks like a pine tree. He did not kneel - he was the only one in the whole court who did not kneel. Regent, Xiao Yan. He raised his head and looked at me. Those eyes were very deep, like a bottomless pool of water. Then he laughed. It was not the flattering smile of a courtier, nor the calculating smile of the Queen Mother. The corners of his mouth curved slightly, as if to say: "I know who you are." The blood all over my body ran cold. He was an important minister of the late emperor Tuogu. He held the world's soldiers and horses, and even his mother and queen wanted to give him three points. If he finds out I'm a woman - I dare not think about it. That night, the queen mother called me to the bedroom. "That person Xiao Yan," she stared at the candlelight and kept her voice low, "if he finds out about you, you and I, mother and son, will both die." I tightened my sleeves. "So," she turned her head and looked into my eyes, "remember - it is better to kill by mistake than to let go." That year, when I was twelve years old, I was promoted to the throne and became the most noble puppet in the world. And I don't know that there is a person who has been waiting for me for ten years.
