Chapter 436: The Brutal Little Emperor vs. the Beauty Killer (42)

Looking at Lu Cha standing outside the door, Shen Qiuxi couldn't hide his surprise: "Your Majesty?"

The Prime Minister's Mansion was heavily guarded, and even she couldn't come and go freely. How did the little emperor sneak in?

Lu Cha did not call himself "Zhen" and asked politely: "Miss Shen, can you go somewhere with me?"

"I won't hurt you."

Shen Qiuxi looked hesitant, and nodded only after he touched the dagger hidden in his sleeve.

She had weapons to protect herself and was not worried about what the little emperor would do to her.

About a moment later.

Shen Qiuxi frowned slightly when she found out that the place Lu Cha brought her to was the North Courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

This place has been abandoned for many years and usually no one comes here. Why did the little emperor bring her here?

But at this moment, a strange creaking sound was heard.

A rockery moved slowly, revealing an extremely narrow door.

Lu Cha took out the fire starter he had prepared long ago to light the way and walked down the long stone steps.

The silver light flowing from the fingertips covered all the deadly mechanisms.

Lu Cha was very grateful after taking a look at the densely packed poison needles hidden in the stone wall, which could almost instantly turn intruders into a hornet's nest.

Fortunately, she asked for the magic power from Tonghe in advance, otherwise she could only randomly choose an unlucky guy to be a human shield.

The further down you go, the damper it gets.

Taking advantage of the darkness so that Shen Qiuxi, who was following behind him, could not be seen, Lu Cha controlled his demonic power and lit the oil lamp hanging on the stone wall.

This is a secret room of about ten square meters.

There was only a stone coffin placed in the center.

There were several unknown black oval insects crawling on the coffin lid.

Lu Cha used a fire stick to drive it away in disgust.

Shen Qiuxi, who was standing aside, looked around in shock: "I have been in the mansion for so long, and I have never heard that there is a secret room under the rockery in the north courtyard..."

"Actually, this is the tomb of Gu Guifan's father, Prime Minister Gu."

Lu Cha turned to look at Shen Qiuxi and suddenly changed the subject: "The insects of the twin poison are fed on the flesh and blood of the person who cast the poison."

"If you want to remove it, you must use the flesh and blood or corpse of the person who poisoned you as a medicine to draw out the poisonous insects from the body."

Shen Qiuxi was startled, vaguely sensing that she would know a shocking secret: "What does your Majesty mean by this?"

"Old Prime Minister Gu is the man behind Chunxue Pavilion."

Lu Cha told the truth of what happened back then.

As Prime Minister Gu is a minister in the court, naturally there are many people who want to bring him down.

So Prime Minister Gu founded Chunxue Pavilion to help him get rid of those who wanted to harm him or officials he disliked. He also learned the art of raising Gu from a talented person.

In order to prevent this matter from being discovered and affecting his career, Prime Minister Gu chose someone else to be the leader of the pavilion, and he hid behind the scenes to issue orders.

Even when going to Chunxue Pavilion, he would disguise himself and not reveal any of his features.

But after a few years, Prime Minister Gu's health could no longer withstand the strain of raising poisonous insects and overwork.

But he had just cultivated the long-lost twin poison, and didn't want his efforts to go to waste, when Chunxue Pavilion happened to capture Shen Yi's parents who had defected.

Upon learning that the two had a pair of children, Prime Minister Gu cruelly planted the twin poisons in Shen Yi and Shen Qiuxi's bodies.

Simply because children's reactions are more obvious than adults'.

Confirming that the poison he had cultivated was successful, Prime Minister Gu could not contain his excitement, which also accelerated the decline of his body.

Feeling that his time was running out, Prime Minister Gu was afraid that someone would know his secret, so he not only withdrew from Chunxue Pavilion and cleared all clues, but also destroyed all the poisonous insects and hid in a coffin in the secret room, waiting for death.

He didn't even tell Gu Guifan about all this.

First, Prime Minister Gu was suspicious and did not trust the young Gu Guifan to keep the secret. Second, he did not want his child to follow in his footsteps.

Most importantly, he was afraid that the people in Chunxue Pavilion would find a solution to the poison, thus getting out of control, finding out the truth, and taking revenge on Gu Guifan.

So before his death, Prime Minister Gu ordered his confidants to cooperate in a big drama, pretending that he had died in a sea of ​​fire and his body was burned.

The young Gu Guifan was heartbroken, not knowing that his biological father had died in a secret room in the north courtyard of the mansion.

Lu Cha couldn't help but sigh.

The protagonist's father is indeed meticulous.

In addition to the countless mechanisms in the secret room, the mechanism of the small door of the rockery was also destroyed inside.

If she didn't have the magical power to repair the mechanism of the rockery, she could only smash it with a sledgehammer, and she might not be able to get in.

Unfortunately, Prime Minister Gu had made all sorts of plans, but he had not anticipated such an accident as hers.

This is also the reason why the villain in the original plot does not allow the heroine to be with the hero.

Prime Minister Gu was the real murderer of their parents and also the mysterious person who cast the poison.

Chen Qiuxi stared blankly at Lu Cha, his mind blank, as if he had lost the ability to think, yet he was still barely able to stay awake:

"Why does Your Majesty know these things?"

How could the little emperor know everything about her and Shen Yi?

Lu Cha lied calmly, "Of course, because I found out."

"It's not advisable to stay here for long. Let's talk again when we get back."

As he spoke, Lu Cha pushed open the heavy coffin lid with both hands.

The body of Prime Minister Gu has turned into a pile of bones.

After driving away the insects inside, Lu Cha randomly picked up a slightly smaller bone and put it in his purse, still thinking:

Fortunately, the little villain doesn’t need to eat, otherwise he would really turn into a dog.

-

Chen Qiuxi followed Lu Cha back to her bedroom, her eyes still a little dazed.

I learned so much tonight.

But why did the little emperor tell her?

Just as Shen Qiuxi was about to ask the doubts in her heart, an exquisite small porcelain bottle appeared in front of her.

Lu Cha placed the porcelain bottle on the table next to Shen Qiuxi: “This is the antidote to the Puppet Pill.”

"Once you take it, you will no longer be controlled by Gu Guifan."

Shen Qiuxi was stunned, and looked warily at the young man sitting opposite him who was leisurely drinking tea: "Gu Guifan poisoned me, and no one knows what it is except him."

"How did His Majesty know about the Puppet Pill and even get the antidote?"

"Including everything that happened tonight, what exactly does Your Majesty want from me?"

Shen Qiuxi pressed forward step by step.

She is not stupid.

If the young emperor just wanted to cooperate with her, there would be no need to go through so much trouble and investigate things that happened more than ten years ago.

Glancing at the dagger clenched in Shen Qiuxi's hand, Lu Cha calmly put down the teacup: "Miss Shen, there is no need to be on guard against me."

"actually......"
