Chapter 405: The Brutal Little Emperor vs. the Beauty Killer (11)

Shen Yi bowed and saluted, explaining softly, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I have taken the medicine and am feeling much better now."

The poison had just taken effect on him, and in order to avoid being discovered by Helian Lu, he could only use rouge to cover up his pale face.

"Your Majesty has just left court and probably hasn't had breakfast yet. I made some cakes myself."

Shen Yi placed the food box he brought on the table in front of Lu Cha and then opened the lid.

Inside was a plate of exquisite plum cake and a bowl of jade belt soup made with bamboo shoots and water shield.

This was the food he brought from the imperial kitchen, with different medicinal herbs already added to the pastries and soups.

Taking one of them alone will not cause poisoning, but if they are taken together, they will become highly toxic and cause people to gradually go blind.

The poison prepared by Ying Yi could not be detected by the people in the Imperial Hospital alone.

There was a faint cold light in Shen Yi's eyes as he observed the imperial study quietly.

The guards here are even stricter than those in Sejun's bedroom. Even his men can't sneak in. Could it be that the jade seal is hidden here?

Suddenly, the fragrance of plums filled Shen Yi's lips.

Lu Cha gently fed him a piece of plum cake: "My beloved, eat first."

Let me see if it's poisonous!

Seeing Shen Yi eat it shyly without any panic, Lu Cha raised his eyebrows slightly.

Could the poison be in the Jade Belt Soup?

She immediately picked up the porcelain cup and looked at him lovingly: "Dried plum cake, my beloved concubine, please drink some jade belt soup slowly, otherwise you will choke and I will be distressed."

Shen Yi froze, took out the silk from his sleeve, and used the action of wiping the corner of his mouth to avoid the spoon handed to him by Lu Cha:

"I have a small appetite and can't eat any more."

Although he has an antidote, this poison will trigger the twin poisons in his body.

His heart couldn't withstand the two attacks of the poison.

Seeing Shen Yi's shy refusal, Lu Cha was sure that the poison was in the Jade Belt Soup in her hand, and her eyes became even more tender:

"My beloved concubine is so thin, you need to eat more."

"I just like watching you eat."

Poison you to death!

Hehehe~!

Knowing that he could no longer refuse, Shen Yi gritted his teeth and had to sit sideways on Lu Cha's legs, his fingertips lightly touching her chest, vaguely hooking up her clothes.

The voice was charming to the core, with a hint of coquettish anger.

"I personally prepared breakfast for Your Majesty, but Your Majesty refused to eat a single bite. Instead, he kept feeding me."

"Your Majesty, do you dislike my cooking skills?"

Shen Yi looked at Lu Cha with a charming gaze, her slightly pouty red lips like a gorgeous and delicate flower bud, inviting people to pick it.

Facing the aggrieved pretty "young lady", Lu Cha drank a mouthful of Jade Belt Soup, looking like a tyrant king tempted by beauty:

"How could I dislike my beloved concubine?"

What bad intentions could a beauty have?

He just wanted to poison her!

Shen Yi took the opportunity to pick up a piece of plum cake and said with a charming look: “Your Majesty has not tasted this yet.”

"Actually, my beloved concubine can feed it to me personally."

Before Shen Yi could react, Lu Cha leaned over and kissed him on the lips.

Oh no!

The little villain's lips are so soft and fragrant!

Shen Yi was shocked and subconsciously stood up, staring blankly at the young man with curved eyebrows sitting on the chair.

Feeling the lingering softness on her lips, a strong disgust instantly welled up in his heart.

He! Kissed a man?!

Shen Yi couldn't help wanting to vomit, and he seemed to forget the hierarchy as he picked up the teacup on the table and guzzled it.

The little emperor's clear voice sounded at this moment:

"This is the teacup I just drank from."

"We seem to be drinking from the same spot."

Shen Yi's breath was choked, and he could no longer suppress the strong nausea. He covered his lips with silk and retched.

Deer. Little Rascal. Tea. Talked boldly with a curious look on his face:

"I have never touched my beloved concubine, why are you having morning sickness?"

If the poison doesn't kill you, I'll make you angry to death!

“…” The veins on Shen Yi’s forehead jumped fiercely, and his eyes were filled with gloom.

The tone that was just tender and gentle now has a hint of gnashing teeth:

"I just feel unwell."

"Is that so—" Lu Cha deliberately dragged out the ending tone and continued to tease the beauty:

"My beloved concubine, please take good care of yourself and seek medical advice from the imperial physician. Otherwise, how can you bear children for me in the future?"

Shen Yi's hand holding the silk silk had begun to tremble.

Huh! Lian! Lu!

Sooner or later, he will kill this damn pervert!

"Your Majesty, I will follow your Majesty's instructions." Shen Yi almost squeezed out these words from between his teeth.

Even when she looked angry, her charming face was so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.

Lu Cha was a little eager to make a move, and the desire to rip Chen Yi's face off became stronger and stronger.

Just as she reached for the dagger hidden under the table, Xiaoshan suddenly ran in in a panic:

"Your Majesty! The Queen Mother is here with many palace servants!"

Before Xiaoshan finished speaking, bang!

The half-open mahogany door of the imperial study was pushed open with force.

Empress Dowager Rong, who was in the lead, walked in with an imposing manner.

Shen Yi lowered her eyes to hide her murderous intent, bowed to Lu Cha and said, "I'll take my leave."

Empress Dowager Rong glanced at Shen Yi with disdain as he left, and snorted coldly, "Your Majesty is truly becoming more and more absurd! He's actually playing around with concubines in the imperial study! What do you think this place is?!"

"Did your Majesty see me flirting with Concubine Shen, or kissing me?"

Lu Cha put the porcelain cup back on the table and leaned lazily against the back of his chair. "What brings you here, mother?"

Thinking of her purpose, Queen Mother Rong stopped talking about Shen Yi and angrily slashed at the idle Lu Cha:

"I ask you, why did you execute Prince De?!"

"Prince De commands 50,000 soldiers and horses! He's your uncle! How could you order him to be beaten in public?!"

After Prince De returned home, he rested for a day before sending a letter to Empress Dowager Rong, accusing the young emperor of what he had done to him.

Empress Dowager Rong's features were grim with anger: "And today's morning court!"

"If you take away Prime Minister Gu's power to manage state affairs, who will handle state affairs in the future?!"

"Depend on you?!"

"Besides eating, drinking, having fun, killing and torturing people, what else can you do?!"

Queen Mother Rong scolded Lu Cha one sentence after another, as if the person in front of her was not her own child, but an enemy with whom she had a blood feud.

Lu Cha was not surprised.

The reason why the original owner became tear incontinent and psychologically distorted was all thanks to Empress Dowager Rong.

Empress Dowager Rong was originally just a palace maid. Because of her beauty, she was slept with by the drunken late emperor.

Not long after, Empress Dowager Rong became pregnant and was given the title of Xiaoying.

At that time, the late emperor had few children, and the concubines in the harem were all staring at Empress Dowager Rong's belly, fearing that she would give birth to a prince, so they often found reasons to teach her a lesson.

Empress Dowager Rong had no background or power, but she knew the importance of the child in her belly, so she gritted her teeth and endured the difficulties faced by everyone.

But things did not go as planned, and Empress Dowager Rong gave birth to a girl.

In order to gain a foothold in the harem and climb to the highest position, Empress Dowager Rong spent all her savings to bribe the midwife, hiding the original owner's female identity and telling others that she was a prince.

Coincidentally, the late queen was found to be pregnant at that time.

Compared to Empress Dowager Rong, who has no background at all, the late queen's child is naturally the biggest threat.

The concubines turned their attacks against her, allowing Empress Dowager Rong to get away with it, but they would still bully her from time to time.

So, the poor original owner became the object of Empress Dowager Rong's venting.

Whenever Empress Dowager Rong got angry outside, she would vent it all on the original owner.

It was fine when the baby was a baby, she would just curse at him with a few unpleasant words, but when the original owner grew up a little, Empress Dowager Rong would pinch and beat him.

He also strictly required the original owner's words and deeds, forcing him to learn various skills just to qualify as the heir to the throne.

The original owner lived in such a high-pressure environment, and over time, his psychology became abnormal, and he was extremely afraid of Queen Mother Rong.

Empress Dowager Rong, however, didn't care at all, and even maliciously made the original owner sick in order to win a visit from the late emperor.

Until last year, the late emperor fell seriously ill.

The princes killed each other in order to fight for the throne, and none of them survived, which allowed the original owner to take advantage of the opportunity and become the emperor.

Empress Dowager Rong could finally hold her head high and get rid of all the concubines of the late emperor, including the midwife who helped conceal the truth.

Afterwards, Empress Dowager Rong did not want her reputation to be tarnished, so she blamed everything on the original owner.

Anyway, all she wants is wealth and glory.

Because she was used to beating and scolding the original owner, and Empress Dowager Rong believed that it was the existence of the original owner that caused her to be bullied by concubines in the past, she disliked the other party even more.

Like mother, like daughter. Queen Mother Rong is just like the original owner, both bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

Lu Cha withdrew his thoughts and looked sarcastically at the still chattering Queen Mother Rong. He pushed the Jade Belt Soup in front of him over and behaved very obediently:

"Mother, you've been talking for so long, I must be thirsty."
