Chapter 432: The Brutal Little Emperor vs. the Beauty Killer (38)

Lu Cha sighed slowly:

"The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Come, immediately execute the punishment of combing and washing the skin on the King of De as a warning to others."

The combing punishment involves using a special iron brush to comb off the flesh of the person's body bit by bit until the person dies.

Helian De struggled violently and tried to crawl out of the hall, but was pinned to the ground by several palace servants.

Then, a bucket of scalding hot water was poured on him.

A whimper similar to that of a dying animal immediately came from Helian De's throat.

The palace maid picked up a large iron comb, inserted it into Helian De's shoulders without hesitation, and brushed it down fiercely.

As the minced meat mixed with blood fell, Helian De twitched even more violently, but he could not break free from the palace servants' restraints and could only stare with his scarlet eyes wide open.

The palace maid combed the hair faster and faster.

The sound of the iron comb rubbing against bones is creepy.

Soon, only bloody bones were left of Helian De's arm.

Helian De, who was already seriously injured, died not long after.

Some timid officials fainted from fright on the spot, while others felt uncontrollable nausea and vomiting.

Even Gu Guifan frowned uncomfortably.

Only the little emperor in a high position slowly wiped away the remaining tears on his face and issued another decree:

"Anyone who colluded with King De to usurp the throne will be executed on the spot."

Before everyone could react to what was happening, the guards who were originally guarding outside the hall suddenly ran into the hall and pierced the chests of more than a dozen officials with their swords, including Lord Wu who was hiding behind a pillar.

They are all Helian De's followers.

Clouds of blood mist sprayed in the air. This time, except for Gu Guifan and Li Taifu, all the other officials were so scared that they sat on the ground.

"This is the fate of those who seek power and usurp the throne."

"I hope you will take this as a warning and not dwell on things that do not belong to you."

At the end, Lu Cha looked at Gu Guifan meaningfully.

Just ask the male lead, are you panicking?

Hehehe~

Sensing Lu Cha's gaze, Gu Guifan clenched his fists, remained calm, and kowtowed, saying, "Your Highness will definitely keep this in mind."

Everyone suddenly came to their senses and kowtowed in fear.

Your Majesty, today the throne room is truly stained with blood!

After resolving Helian De's issue, Lu Cha waved his hand and dismissed all the officials.

Empress Dowager Rong was determined not to leave, and even tried to hit the palace maid who was pushing her wheelchair:

"Who allowed you to touch me?!"

"Helian Lu! I helped you get rid of Helian De! Shouldn't you give me the antidote?!"

She doesn't want to be a blind person all her life!

"So the Queen Mother stayed to negotiate terms with me." Lu Cha stepped down from the high seat, grasped the handle on the top of the wheelchair, and turned towards the direction where Helian De's body was.

"Does the Queen Mother want the antidote, or does she want to accompany Prince De?"

Feeling something cold against her neck, clearly a dagger, Empress Dowager Rong's breath caught in her throat, and she managed to squeeze out the words from between her teeth:

"Aren't you afraid that I will reveal your secret to the public?!"

Knowing that Empress Dowager Rong was talking about the secret of her daughter's body, Lu Cha casually placed the dagger on her shoulder, almost cutting the skin on her neck:

"I'll give you the chance to say it yourself."

"Send the Queen Mother back to the palace."

Empress Dowager Rong didn't understand what Lu Cha meant and wanted to find out the reason, but Xiaoshan knocked her unconscious with a stick and forcibly pushed her away by the palace servants.

Xiao Shan held the stick in his hand and asked Lu Cha for credit: "Your Majesty, was this done right?"

Lu Cha gave a thumbs up: "Very good."

Now, except for her, the tool man can be said to be fearless.

After receiving praise from his own Majesty, Xiaoshan smiled innocently, then slapped his head in annoyance as if remembering something.

"I almost forgot. The Grand Tutor just sent someone to tell me that he's waiting for you in the Imperial Study."

-

When Lu Cha arrived at the imperial study, Taifu Li was sitting in a chair drinking tea leisurely.

Seeing the little emperor coming in, he said in his usual sarcastic tone:

"Your Majesty is happy and has enjoyed several days of leisure. But poor old minister, your legs are almost broken from running."

Although he said this, Taifu Li looked at Lu Cha with a look of relief.

Your Majesty, you have really grown up.

A few days ago, he thought that His Majesty had died in danger, and wanted to take the students to fight Helian De to the death. However, just after he finished deploying the plan, he received a letter from Anjin and learned the whole story.

He immediately did as His Majesty instructed, secretly dispatching troops to deal with the 50,000 troops that Helian De had arranged to enter the city, while on the surface he cooperated with the other party in his acting.

Everything that happened today was within your Majesty's expectations.

Kill the traitor Prince De, get rid of the pests in the court, and use Queen Mother Rong to gain a good reputation for filial piety. Even Master Li, who has lived for decades, has to admire the young man's mind.

Li Taifu couldn't hold back and praised Lu Cha, "Your Majesty's plan is indeed brilliant."

He didn't think the boy's methods were cruel.

As a ruler, one must sometimes be ruthless and merciless in order to intimidate those who have ulterior motives.

Lu Cha imitated Li Taifu's usual tone and said quietly, "It's not easy. I can still hear the teacher's praise in my lifetime."

Li Taifu's face darkened, but he wasn't angry. Instead, he stood up and bowed, saying, "From now on, I, your honored servant, will lead you as a student and do my utmost to assist Your Majesty and help you resolve your problems."
