Chapter 255: The Irritable Queen Mother vs. the Cold Imperial Master (38)

Lu Cha grabbed Ming Yan's hand holding the umbrella and pulled it back.

Ming Yan immediately bent down.

Thinking the girl was going to kiss him, he subconsciously closed his eyes, but his forehead was gently tapped.

"My reward is a pat on the head, why is the Imperial Master closing his eyes?" Lu Cha said playfully:

"Do you think I want to kiss you?"

Let the little villain tease her during the day!

Deer. Hold a grudge. Tea. Laugh badly.

Ming Yan opened his eyes and looked.

The girl was like a cat that had stolen some fish, her clear eyes curved into a beautiful crescent shape when she smiled, vaguely reflecting the firelight in the distance.

It was like the crushed golden warm sunlight, shining into her eyes.

Knowing that Lu Cha was teasing him on purpose, Ming Yan's eyes flickered slightly. He pulled Lu Cha into his arms and twisted his wrist slightly.

The oil-paper umbrella is tilted.

The moment the umbrella completely blocked the two of them, he lowered his head and kissed Lu Cha's lips.

"Then, I will dare to ask for a reward."

Ming Yan's unclear words spread between the lips that were pressed together again.

Outside the umbrella, the drizzle continued, intertwined with the curses and insults directed at General Jiang by the people in the mansion.

Inside the umbrella, Ming Yan was almost greedy, grabbing every inch of the girl's sweetness.

The fingertips clasped on her slender waist tightened more and more, as if wanting to merge this delicate body into his own flesh and blood.

Until the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance, and Jin Yu returned in a carriage.

Ming Yan reluctantly let go of Lu Cha and gently licked away a trace of crystal on her lips.

Lu Cha stood against his chest, her cheeks flushed.

"Isn't the Imperial Master afraid of being seen?"

"If the Queen Mother is not afraid, then I am not afraid either."

Ming Yan spoke calmly when he suddenly felt a strange, slight tingling sensation in his chest.

That cold face suddenly flushed with red, gradually spreading to the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, dyeing him with a charming color.

Oh no!

Why is the little villain's reaction so big?!

Taking advantage of the umbrella to block out the view, Lu Cha pinched Ming Yan's chest maliciously, then quickly got on the carriage, not giving him a chance to speak again, and waved her hand:

"I'm back to the palace~"

Hehehe~ Finally got revenge on the little villain! ~

The carriage drove away.

Ming Yan silently recited the Heart Cleansing Technique in his mind to calm the heat in his body.

The slightly drooping long eyelashes concealed a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

The Queen Mother does hold a grudge.

The next day.

The imperial study in the palace.

The knife wound on Chu Yixiao's shoulder has been re-bandaged.

Fortunately, the assassin's cut was not too deep, otherwise he would be unable to move today and would have to lie in bed to recuperate.

"Your Majesty, General Jiang died last night. I haven't found his body. I heard that he was chopped into pieces and fed to dogs." The guard reported with his head down.

Chu Yixiao's face was gloomy.

He already knew what happened last night.

Jiang Lucha forged the imperial edict, was the daughter of a traitor, and raised private soldiers. Even if she could not be executed because she was the queen mother, she should be imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison and punished.

However, the Imperial Censor and a group of ministers completely absolved Jiang Lucha of all responsibility, saying that the Queen Mother was innocent and that everything she did was to protect the Emperor and the Great Chu.

Due to pressure from court officials, he had no choice but to let Jiang Lu Cha go and even sent someone to deliver the reward.

Chu Yixiao felt like he was holding his breath, which made him extremely annoyed:

"Have you found out where those private soldiers are staying?"

The guard shook his head and said, "I wanted to leave with Minister Li and the others to investigate the location, but there were too many people there, and Minister Li sent them out of the city in batches, so I didn't follow them."

Chu Yixiao's brows were furrowed.

Jiang Lucha has so many private soldiers, but instead of handing them over to him for management, he wants to hide them. Could it be that he is eyeing the throne?

Now that General Jiang has been exposed, what if Ming Yan follows the clues and finds that he is also involved in what happened back then...

Chu Yixiao didn't dare to think about the consequences: "Let Lanpin come over."

If he doesn't get rid of Jiang Lu Cha, he won't be able to sleep or eat!

Not long after, Mulanyue came to the imperial study and said with concern:

"Your Majesty's injuries haven't healed yet. Why don't you take a good rest instead of reviewing the memorials today?"

"Don't worry, my beloved concubine. My injury is not serious." After Chu Yixiao dismissed everyone, he held Mu Lanyue's hands and called her name affectionately:

"Yuer, the only person I can trust now is you."

"Would you be willing to help me do something?"

Mulanyue nodded meekly.

Chu Yixiao lowered his voice and said again: "I want you to poison the Queen Mother."

"This is the royal family's secret medicine, Plum Blossom Cold. Anyone who takes it will die within three days. Find a way to mix it into the Queen Mother's food."

Chu Yixiao handed a porcelain bottle about the size of a little finger to Mulanyue:

"If the truth ever comes to light, I can let you fake your own death and start a new life under a new identity."

"Whether you succeed or not, you will be my queen."

Yue'er is not only his trusted bedmate, but also the only person who can get close to Jiang Lucha without being suspected.

Even if the matter is exposed and he is implicated, he can still put all the blame on Yue'er.

Mulanyue was smart and naturally guessed what Chu Yixiao was thinking.

She pretended to know nothing and held Chu Yixiao's hand firmly.

"As long as I can help the emperor, I am willing to do anything."

"Thank you, Yue'er." Chu Yixiao kissed Mulanyue's eyebrows with emotion.

Mulanyue suppressed her disgust and pretended to be shy: "Then I will go back and prepare now."

After making sure that no one was following her, Mulanyue left the imperial study and went to the Cining Palace.

-

Lu Cha was leaning on the couch eating fruit. Seeing Mulan Yue coming over, he immediately fed a grape into her mouth:

"Jinyu is freshly washed and very sweet!"

Mulanyue shyly swallowed the grapes, then told Lucha about Chu Yixiao's plan:

"Before Lan Yue went to the Imperial Study, she specifically asked her personal maid to bring a palace servant with her to eavesdrop outside."

"This way we can deal with the emperor, and we will have enough witnesses."

Lu Cha's surprised face.

The little heroine is so thoughtful!

Considering the time, it’s time to deal with the male protagonist.

"I will be attending the morning court in the next two days. Thank you for your hard work, Lanyue." Lu Cha fed Mu Lanyue another apple.

"It is Lan Yue's blessing to be able to help the Queen Mother."

Different from her hypocritical attitude towards Chu Yixiao, Mu Lanyue was shy and sincere at this moment: "The Imperial Master will be here soon to deliver the medicine, so Lanyue will leave first."

"No need, he will be late today." Lu Cha held his chin with his hand and smiled meaningfully.

The little villain has to deal with the dog stuff before he can come over.

Thinking that Ming Yan had told Lu Cha in advance, Mulan Yue didn't think much about it and imitated Lu Cha's just now and fed her a grape.

Lu Cha instantly forgot about Ming Yan and enjoyed Mu Lanyue's feeding him with great satisfaction.

-

At the same time, in the dark dungeon of the Imperial Master’s Mansion.

General Jiang, covered in wounds, was weakly tied to a stone pillar.

And on the opposite side.

Ming Yan sat on a chair, sipping tea leisurely, his features as picturesque as a painting, completely out of place with the surroundings.

Last night, he ordered people to take away General Jiang during the chaos and spread the news of his death, just to take him back to the dungeon for interrogation.

"My father's death, is it related to you?"
