Chapter 1954: Chapter 1892: Acting as a Wet Nurse

Once Empress Dowager Mo finished crying, Wufu helped her wash her face and offered a few words of comfort, bringing up the matter of the Little Prince’s future.

She knew that the Little Prince’s biological mother had already passed away, and now, with the major incident at Imperial Jue Temple, the dead are dead and the wounded are wounded. The harem would only become more chaotic upon hearing the tragic news, and the child’s placement needed consideration.

There were plenty of imperial consorts in the harem who had no children; her suggestion was perhaps to find a gentle and suitable one to temporarily care for him.

However, the little fellow, being sensitive in mind, sensed her intention and began to cry like an abandoned little wretch, causing Wufu to feel quite guilty and deeply burdened.

See, even now, he’s still sneaking peeks at their conversation!

Empress Dowager Mo listened to Wufu’s words and also glanced at the Little Prince, pondering slightly.

Wufu wasn’t in a rush, patiently waiting.

"With the harem in chaos now, no one is suitable." Empress Dowager Mo had someone take the Little Prince away to play, then said to Wufu: "The Emperor’s situation is unclear; if truly... Xiao Five as a child might be the sole choice for Crown Prince. Many would vie to raise him."

Wufu wasn’t surprised, after all, there are only a few sons of Emperor Yan, but two have already died, and one was severely injured; it’s uncertain if he would survive, and even if he does, whether he would be whole is questionable.

If truly the imperial tomb collapsed, Jhin Mingdong becoming the sole ruler would be unsurprising; who made him the only one!

What surprised Wufu somewhat was that until now, Empress Dowager Mo seemed to have no intention of supporting Ah Jiu to become Emperor.

She hesitated, then asked, "Royal Mother, do you mean if things go as we suspect, you’d support Mingdong to ascend?" Pausing, she asked again, "You haven’t considered Ah Jiu?"

Empress Dowager Mo furrowed her brows slightly and said, "Ah Jiu is not suited to be Emperor, and I’ve never thought of it."

If she had thought of it, right after the former emperor’s passing, she had plenty of opportunities to overthrow Emperor Yan and elevate her son, reigning with great splendor as the Regent Dowager for twenty years.

But she didn’t do that. Firstly, she wasn’t a woman obsessed with power, and secondly, she didn’t want to. She truly raised her son to be a wealthy Idle King, taught him self-preservation, and gave him the strength for it, but never taught him to crave power or seize the throne.

Not until Emperor Yan’s insult to her did she begin to doubt her choice, wondering if she made the wrong decision?

But even after that incident, to this day, she still believes Ah Jiu is not suitable.

"Ah Jiu’s nature is too kind-hearted, indecisive, lacking the decisive ruthlessness of an Emperor." Empress Dowager Mo chuckled bitterly and said, "That’s also thanks to me; I taught him to be like that, he is not suitable."

Wufu said, "That’s because you are not a power-hungry person."

Otherwise, being the Regent Dowager would be glorious, and perhaps she could become another Empress Wu, eventually reigning as a female Emperor!

Empress Dowager Mo sighed softly, "That position is too solitary, I cannot bear it!"

What it means to be all alone, it’s just oneself; that’s her selfishness perhaps!

"Donger trusts you, the palace is in chaos; the Eldest Imperial Son and Second Imperial Son are gone, and it’s likely that the imperial consorts are not interested in attending to harem affairs either. I might have to take on this responsibility myself and won’t have much heart to raise that child either." Empress Dowager Mo brought the conversation back to the Little Prince’s placement, looking at Wufu and said, "You saved him; it’s clear he relies on you heavily."

She glanced again at the Little Prince not far away; even while playing, he occasionally looked over, his gaze carrying some fear, lacking a sense of security.

"He trusts you, for now, you shall care for him temporarily!" Empress Dowager Mo said.

Wufu opened her eyes wide, ah, does this mean she’s going to be a nanny?
