Chapter 1271: Chapter 28: The Emperor Turned into a Dog

The Emperor only felt that what lay before him was a huge conspiracy!

What do Hanlin Scholar Cao and the others intend to do?

Usurp the throne?

They wouldn’t dare to directly usurp, but they want to support the child in Imperial Concubine Shu’s belly as emperor, making him their puppet, and control the court themselves?

Even though the Emperor was currently a soul, he felt a chill down his back.

"Let’s wait until your little sister replies tomorrow," said Hanlin Scholar Cao. "Rest early today, we have court tomorrow. The Emperor somehow decided to appoint Prince De as the Regent King to handle state affairs for him. Tomorrow we’ll have to face that annoying face of Prince De."

"What can he really do against us? As soon as the child in my little sister’s belly is born, he will become the Crown Prince justifiably. With an heir, does the Emperor still covet the throne?" General Cao sneered.

"Indeed. Nothing to fear." Hanlin Scholar Cao smirked disdainfully.

The father and son chatted a bit more about other matters before dispersing.

The Emperor floated out of Cao Mansion with lingering fears, and thought for a moment before heading to Prince De Mansion.

At this moment, Prince De was having a late-night snack, his desk covered in documents.

"Your Highness, you should rest early," the eunuch advised.

"I’ll sleep after finishing this. Do I have dark circles under my eyes? I have to wake up early tomorrow. Ah, what’s going on with the Emperor?" Prince De grumbled while eating a large bowl of fresh meat dumplings, "Regent King? How many years has it been since the Great Zhou Country last appointed a Regent King? I think it was during the founding Emperor’s time."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor felt a bit guilty. Had he given Prince De too much work? Prince De really did seem to have dark circles.

"That’s also a good thing. The Emperor completely trusts you, Your Highness." The eunuch chuckled.

"Ah, it’s good, but it’s too tiring. Is being Emperor this exhausting every day? It’s really not easy. You have to wake up early, sleep late, and deal with so many women in the harem. Haha, speaking of which, maybe the Emperor has wised up. He went to the Empress’s palace, instructed the Princess to study in the Upper Study Room, and put Imperial Concubine Shu under house arrest. Truly worth celebrating. Oh, give me another bowl to celebrate that my imperial brother has suddenly become smarter," mumbled Prince De.

The Emperor listened with wide eyes. Are you saying I used to be foolish?

The Emperor suddenly froze. He thought about where he just came from and realized that Prince De might actually be right.

He used to be quite foolish indeed.

Favouring the treacherous, distancing the wise...

What a fool!

Luckily, he could now avoid further mistakes and correct his past errors.

Next time he became human again, he would send some help to Prince De, to lighten his burden a bit.

After making this decision, the Emperor leisurely floated back to the Imperial Palace.

He was still unwilling to give up, so he returned to his own palace, to see if he could get back into his body.

But he couldn’t.

Thus, the Emperor floated back to the Empress’s palace, looking for the body he was happy with.

Just as he got close, he was sucked in.

Emperor: ...

Forget it, just sleep. Tomorrow I’ll accompany my daughter to the Upper Study Room for her lessons!

Early the next morning, the Emperor, yawning, enjoyed his breakfast at the table and then went to the Upper Study Room with the Princess.

When they arrived, the Princess took her seat. The Emperor lay down at her feet.

The tutors, who were rather young Hanlin Scholars, naturally knew how to be flexible. Seeing the Princess bring a little dog to class, they did not object. They used their teaching methods to impart knowledge to the Princess, expressing complex topics in simple, amusing language.
