Chapter 232: The Irritable Queen Mother vs. the Cold Imperial Master (15)

The next morning.

When Lu Cha woke up, he had returned to the Cining Palace.

She stretched her slightly stiff body, still feeling unsatisfied.

The three switching opportunities have all been used up.

If I were to play a villain, it would be nice if I could be a fox.

She can rub him openly!

[You're dreaming.] The system immediately complained:

【He can only be a dog. 】

Lucha: "..."

Now it's all like pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth - that's really brave.

-

At the same time, at the Imperial Master's Mansion.

When Ming Yan came back from the study, he saw a servant standing outside the bedroom, covering his bleeding right eye and wailing.

Inside the bedroom, the small sandalwood bed with golden threads was shattered into pieces and scattered on the floor.

The silver-white little fox stood ferociously on the couch, with its tail standing straight up and its sharp claws exposed, obviously ready to attack someone.

Zhuo Xuan asked another servant to take the boy away to bandage his wound, and reported to Ming Yan:

"Sir, I don't know what happened to this little fox. I went in to give it a chicken leg, but before I even got close to the soft couch, it scratched and blinded one of its eyes."

"Could it be that you are afraid of strangers?"

"It's timid. No one is allowed to come in from now on." Ming Yan walked into the bedroom and reached out to hug the frightened little fox. Suddenly, he felt a pain on the back of his hand as if it were pierced by sharp teeth.

Blood gushed out instantly.

"grown ups!"

Zhuo Xuan nervously stepped forward, trying to catch the biting fox, but Ming Yan raised his hand to stop him:

"Stand back."

As if he didn't feel any pain, Ming Yan picked up the little fox.

The blue eyes that were clear and lively last night now turned into the fierce light of a wild beast.

Ming Yan hugged the little fox tightly, patted its head unnaturally, and said in a low and soft voice:

"Don't worry, I'm back."

But the little fox still bit the back of his hand and refused to let go, even making a warning growl from its throat.

Ming Yan was completely unaware and walked towards the study with it in his arms.

The little guy often stays there.

Perhaps, if I return to a familiar place, I will no longer be afraid.

Just as Ming Yan was about to put the little fox on the table in the study, he saw a flash of white light before his eyes.

The little fox actually ran out through the open window and escaped over the wall.

Ming Yan immediately caught up.

The fox was small in size and ran very fast. In addition, the Imperial Master's Mansion was located in a remote area with woods all around. In the blink of an eye, the silver-white color disappeared without a trace.

Ming Yan looked at the lush trees around him, and a trace of confusion gradually flashed across his empty eyes.

He wanted to call the little fox home, but suddenly remembered that he had never given it a name.

I don't even know what to call it.

The hawking voices of vendors could be heard from afar. Ming Yan's hanging hands slowly clenched into fists, gathering the moist and warm blood in his palms.

Just a beast.

Why lose your mind over it?

It probably had been looking for an opportunity to escape for a long time.

Ming Yan returned to the mansion calmly, his eyes cold and indifferent, as if everything in this world had nothing to do with him.

Zhuo Xuan quickly took the medicine handed to him by the servant and treated the wound on the back of Ming Yan's hand:

"Don't worry, sir. Zhuo Xuan has already ordered everyone in the mansion to go look for it. The little fox shouldn't be able to get far."

"Find it and solve it on the spot."

He didn't want it and kept trying to escape from his beast.

Zhuo Xuan was stunned and nodded in agreement.

Seeing Mingyan staring at the chestnut cake on the table in a daze, Zhuo Xuan pursed his lips and changed the subject:

"A few days ago, the Minister of Personnel was forced to resign by the Empress Dowager. The Emperor hopes you can recommend a suitable candidate for the position."

Ming Yan's eyes flickered slightly: "Empress Dowager?"

"I heard from people in the palace that this was revenge because the Minister of Personnel intended to poison the Empress Dowager."

"It's strange to say that the Empress Dowager didn't produce any evidence and only had this statement spread. The Minister of Personnel no longer dared to protest his injustice."

Ming Yan frowned slightly.

That day in the Imperial Garden, the Minister of Personnel dismissed his entourage, leaving only him and the little fox.

Unfortunately, the Queen Mother has been unusually sleepy recently.

Is there such a coincidence in the world?

Ming Yan suddenly stood up.

Zhuo Xuan was confused: "What's wrong, sir?"

"Prepare medicine and go to the palace."

-

The main hall of the Cining Palace.

Jin Yu had already asked all the outsiders to leave.

Lu Cha sat lazily in the chair, eating pastries.

Li Yuanfan stood opposite her, clasped his hands together, and leaned forward:

"I came here today because I have a question that I do not understand. I would like to ask the Queen Mother to explain it to me."

"Da Chu, how far can we go?"

The reason why he took the imperial examination was that although the Great Chu seemed to be in a peaceful and prosperous era, in reality the government had already been corrupt.

The Jiang family holds great power and indulges their close cronies, who oppress the people and cause untold harm.

He wanted to get rid of those parasites so that the people could truly live and work in peace and contentment.

In recent days, the incident of the Queen Mother beating up General Jiang has been widely reported, and it turns out that the relationship between the two was not as close as it seemed.

In particular, the Queen Mother trusted him so much when he first met her.

Only then did he dare to muster up the courage to ask the empress dowager.

Lu Cha could basically guess what Li Yuanfan was thinking and answered directly:

"Before the Jiang family was destroyed, I didn't know anything about it."

"The Great Chu may continue to prosper, or it may fall into ruin."

"I am nothing but a puppet of General Jiang."

Li Yuanfan was stunned. He didn't expect that this father and daughter had such a relationship.

He was not stupid, so he naturally understood why Lu Cha said this. She was telling him in disguise that she also wanted to get rid of the Jiang family.

Li Yuanfan immediately knelt on the ground and said: "Your servant Li Yuanfan is willing to serve the Queen Mother."

Lu Cha looked satisfied.

Talking to smart people is just easier!

She gestured to Jinyu and handed a key to Li Yuanfan:

"I have a bank in the capital, and you will be in charge of managing it from now on."

The original owner was smart and knew that he couldn't hold on to power, so he tried to find a way to make money.

If Jiang Taiwei had not been provoked by the male protagonist and had not been obsessed with revenge, he might not have been able to control the original owner.

Lu Cha's jade fingers lightly touched the tabletop: "Ai Jia, I need soldiers."

Li Yuanfan's heart suddenly trembled.

Queen Mother, are you planning a rebellion?!
