She looked around . An old eunuch bowed towards her with a worried look .
The eunuch’s face was wrinkled, like a chrysanthemum . His voice was low and flustered . He whispered as he looked around, “This old slave knows His Majesty hates the thief, but right now the situation is critical . For now, it’s important for you to stay alive, my good master . ”
Bai Weiwei found that the clothes she was wearing were not quite right .
She had experienced several ancient-times planes, so she was familiar with the clothing . She looked down at her clothes . She obviously wore a man’s inner cloth .
Broken, this was dressing as a man .
Bai Weiwei’s face changed . She couldn’t wait to receive the body’s memories .
She then heard muffled footsteps from the outside .
The eunuch looked terrified . He immediately shuffled up and knelt .
“This old slave had seen Tai Fu1 . ”

Bai Weiwei looked up . In the distance, a palace woman opened the bead curtain .
A purple robe rolled in like a cloud followed by a man’s voice, cold and gloomy . “It is said that His Majesty left morning court and that the Ministers of Civil and Military Affairs refused to attend . I came over to see what was wrong . ”
The eunuch shuddered, “Tai Fu, the Emperor’s illness resurfaced, th-thi-this… really unable to get up, ah . ”
Sick?
The man was very quick . With a cold and incomparable momentum, he glanced towards the bed .
He was naturally handsome with slightly upturned phoenix eyes; nose, mouth, and jaw all exquisitely perfect; black hair combed up in a jade crown, revealing a full forehead .
A jade tree facing the wind2 . This sentiment was not enough to describe his presence .
He stood outside the bed and saw Bai Weiwei standing in bed . He smiled coldly, “Is this not very spirited? His Majesty is indeed sick, sick of me . ”
When the eunuch heard this, he crawled over and hugged his thigh .

“Tai Fu, His Majesty is simply in poor health . He does not have this idea in his heart… ah!”
The man kicked the eunuch away .
“Dirty,” he said lightly .
Then he turned, his phoenix eyes clouded with haze3 . “Your Majesty, it seems that this official has not convinced you . Since you are reluctant to sit on the throne, this official will send you on the road to meet with the former emperor . ”
Bai Weiwei silently knocked on the system, “Don’t play dead, memories? I need them . ”
The system dared to take the lead, “please accept this body’s memories . ”
That head-splitting pain returned . Clutching her head, she shook a few times . She then suddenly tumbled off the bed .
She fell into a big embrace . Her fingers instinctively grabbed the other person’s clothes, and the scent of that embrace filled her nose . Her face paled .
This man called the Tai Fu was caught off guard, picking up the little emperor .

She was thin and delicate, and she fell like a breeze, drifting gently into his arms .
The man bowed his head and saw her delicate face covered in sweat . Her skin was fair, as the first snow . Her eyebrows were knit tightly, and her face showed signs of sickness .
It was unlike a fake illness .
Bai Weiwei wasn’t pretending . She had never experienced, her body becoming this weak after a memory transfer before .
Bai Weiwei couldn’t help but cry out, “Hurts!”
A young and tender voice, like a newborn chick .
The man with the phoenix eyes paused his motion to throw her out .
She was too light . Although he knew the little emperor was a prince who often fell ill4 . He didn’t expect her to be this weak .
This was good, too . This way, she would die more quickly5 .
This dynasty, it was time to change its name6 .
【Ding . The male lead’s favorability is at -20 . His hatred for you is so deep and beautiful, he hopes you will die sooner . 】
Bai Weiwei: “…”
1: 太傅; not sure if there’s an exact title for this position . Best I could tell, it’s an assistant to the king . I’m not sure to what extent it differs from 摄政, which is the title used in this arc’s name .
If I look at the characters individually, 太= highest 傅= tutor; 摄= act for 政= government . So I’m assuming that a 太傅 is more of an official whose job is to guide or educate the ruler while that ruler is in power, while a 摄政 will literally govern in place of a ruler who can’t rule due to circumstances (absent, underage, etc) . But that’s just my best guess ¯_(ツ)_/¯↩

3: 阴鸷: insidious and malicious, or thinking and deeply hidden . ↩
4: 就三天一小病半月一大病; 3 days a small illness, half a month a big illness . Describes someone who is often ill . ↩
5: 早死早超生 lit . early death early rebirth; to die early . ↩
6: To change a dynasty’s name is to mark the end of the royal family and make way for a new ruler and new era . ↩
