Who knows, my family members, the host is forced to love again

Chapter 177 The Queen Mother He Escaped Again 04

Before leaving, Jun Chengyan wanted to reach out and touch Lu Huaiyuan's head, but the other party dodged him without a trace.

He was not angry about this, but just gave Lu Huaiyuan a few more instructions before turning around and leaving.

Lu Huaiyuan stared at their backs as they left, his expression somewhat ambiguous.

After a while, he withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the palace maid who was serving him.

"Chuxue, do you know who is looking for His Majesty?" he asked.

The palace maid beside him has been serving him since Lu Huaiyuan entered the palace, and is quite loyal to him.

However, the other party knew nothing about many things about Lu Huaiyuan, so he could not be considered as his man.

Hearing Lu Huaiyuan's question, Chu Xue shook her head: "I don't know either."

She paused for a moment and then asked, "Empress Dowager, do you need me to inquire about this?"

Lu Huaiyuan said, "No need."

He was just a little curious, but he didn't really need to know.

And judging from the current situation, Jun Chengyan probably doesn't want him to know.

If he rashly sent someone to inquire and Jun Chengyan knew about it, the other party might not say anything, but it would still not be good.

Thinking of this, Lu Huaiyuan withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the fish in the pond.

Because he stopped feeding the fish, the fish that had gathered had already scattered.

Lu Huaiyuan curled his lips and smiled, reached out and grabbed a handful of fish food beside him and threw it down.

He looked at the koi in the water, which were scrambling for food as if a pot of boiling water had exploded. The smile on his lips gradually spread to his eyes.

Ah!

Interesting indeed!

-----------------

Lu Huaiyuan played with the fish by the pond for a while, then went to the pavilion to read a book, and then asked people to pack up and return to the bedroom.

But on the way back, when passing by the rockery, I unexpectedly ran into someone.

The man stood tall and straight, facing the light, and the light also outlined his slender figure.

His eyes, as bright as stars, were filled with a cold and dim light under his eyebrows that were raised like swords.

But his eyes and brows were as cold and desolate as the first snow on the mountains, appearing indifferent and distant.

I have to say that Lu Huaiyuan was indeed amazed when he saw this person for the first time.

But he didn't react, just looked away.

The other party probably didn't expect to meet anyone, and his steps couldn't help but stop.

Lu Huaiyuan did not miss the flash of surprise in the other person's eyes.

The visitor, either knowing him or guessing his identity, turned to him and bowed.

"Meet the Queen Mother."

Lu Huaiyuan glanced at him, nodded slightly, but didn't say much.

After they walked away from each other, he looked at Chuxue beside him and asked, "Who was that person just now? I don't think I've seen him before."

Chuxue looked around and whispered, "Queen Mother, that is the Regent."

She paused, then continued to explain, "The prince was not often in the capital before, and he rarely came to the palace, so you have never seen him."

"But now His Majesty forbids the palace from mentioning this, so few people talk about this regent."

Hearing her say this, Lu Huaiyuan couldn't help but frown.

Regent?

Although Jun Chengyan is young, he is an adult after all. Why does he need a regent?

Besides, he didn't seem to remember that such a person existed.

Lu Huaiyuan felt strange, but did not say much to Chu Xue. Instead, he asked the system in his mind.

[016, why don't I remember there being a regent in this storyline?]

The system has been freezing up from time to time these past two days because of Lu Huaiyuan's anger.

So when it heard this question, it said it a little unhappily.

【Why not? 】

[It was him who killed you in the end!]

Lu Huaiyuan: “…”

He probably just asked this question out of curiosity!

Lu Huaiyuan rolled his eyes silently, and finally dug out such a character from the corner of the plot.

Xiao Muhuai, Jun Pingxuan's youngest brother, is also the regent of Dongling Kingdom.

When Jun Pingxuan ascended the throne, the other party was just a little kid of a few years old, so he escaped the fate of being exiled or killed.

During the years when Jun Pingxuan was in power, Xiao Muhuai had always been law-abiding, so his treatment was quite good.

Although he had no real power, Jun Pingxuan never treated him unfairly in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Xiao Muhuai yearns for freedom and does not want to be constrained. In recent years, he has mostly been traveling around like a leisurely prince.

But now, he was trapped in the capital by an imperial decree from Jun Pingxuan, and became a regent with no real power.

At the beginning, Jun Pingxuan discovered that Jun Chengyan and Lu Huaiyuan had betrayed him, so he went crazy one last time before he died.

He left behind an imperial edict, appointing Xiao Muhuai as regent, giving him military power, and asking him to assist the new emperor in managing state affairs.

Jun Chengyan is no longer young, but the late emperor appointed him as regent. At this time, rumors are everywhere.

Some people even suggested that Jun Chengyan's throne was obtained in an illegitimate way and questioned the cause of the late emperor's death.

But unfortunately, Xiao Muhuai himself had no desire for power, and coupled with Lu Huaiyuan's deliberate planning, these rumors were quickly suppressed.

Although the rumors were quelled, Xiao Muhuai, the nominal "Regent", became a very embarrassing existence.

Jun Chengyan had no hostility towards the emperor's uncle, but the other party's existence was also a thorn in his heart.

So not long after, he found a reason to remove Xiao Muhuai as the regent, took away his military power, and sent him to other places.

Xiao Muhuai was not interested in these things in the first place, and now that he was away from the court, he felt happy and at ease.

-----------------

After reading the records about Xiao Muhuai, Lu Huaiyuan's expression was inevitably a little ambiguous.

An idle prince who only loves freedom and has no power or influence?

He might not think so!

According to the plot, after Lu Huaiyuan imprisoned Jun Chengyan, he supported a puppet emperor and took control of the government himself.

However, a few years later, Xiao Muhuai led his men to the capital and overthrew the puppet emperor.

'Lu Huaiyuan', the evil queen who brought disaster to the country, was eventually killed by him with a single sword.

In fact, it was said that he died at the hands of Xiao Muhuai, but more importantly, it was also because 'Lu Huaiyuan' himself did not want to live.

Otherwise, with his strategy, he might not be able to escape.

Thinking of this, Lu Huaiyuan couldn't help but smile.

But then again, this person should also be considered his 'enemy', right?

Lu Huaiyuan lowered his eyes slightly, but the smile on his lips continued to deepen.

He was actually looking forward to the confrontation with the opponent!

However, Lu Huaiyuan did not expect at this time that before he could figure out how to find Xiao Muhuai, the other party came to him first.

Therefore, when Lu Huaiyuan saw Xiao Muhuai appear in his bedroom late at night, although he was a little surprised, there was a bit more interest in his eyes.

What should he do with this prey that has been delivered to his doorstep?
