Chapter 174 Relying on



"There's no rush to pretend to be dead now."

"Besides, now that we've come to this, why bother to keep it a little longer?"

Lu Anan patiently and kindly persuaded them.

"Besides, if Master Zhu has made his point clear, saving your life is the best strategy."

As Lu Anan said this, Lord Zhu couldn't help but look at him twice more.

"Don't worry, my Lord. I will do what I say."

Lu Anan had said this much, and Lord Zhu thought about it and finally spoke.

"That day, Her Highness the Saint brought back a truly dead person right in front of us."

Lu Anan frowned: "It's a..."

"Young Master?"

Master Zhu couldn't help but look at Lu Anan for a second longer; "Yes."

Then her guess was correct, it should be Lu Heyi.

Lord Zhu looked at Lu Anan in deep thought and spoke carefully.

"Can you... let me go? I've told you everything I know."

Lu Anan looked at Li Si next to her.

"Well, let's go."

Lord Zhu's eyes lit up and he carefully got up from the ground.

He covered the wound on his body and his eyes were a little evasive.

He slowly backed out while looking around.

Although he was injured, he didn't walk slowly.

He was afraid that Lu Anan would suddenly change his mind and catch him back.

Lu Anan spoke only after Lord Zhu ran away.

"We'll take care of him after we leave the city."

Li Si lowered his head and replied, "Yes."

Lu Anan turned around only after Li Si followed Lord Zhu away.

"Xu Hesheng has been dealt with. After sending these people away, we will return to Hongcheng."

Mr. Zhu is useless. What he knows is almost the same as what they know.

"That's right. If he really knew so much, he wouldn't have been sent here."

I'm afraid Lord Zhu and General Weiyuan are still kept in the dark.

After all... Chu Shengan had no intention of letting them come back alive from the beginning.

Someone has to be held responsible for the Hongcheng incident, but...

Lord of Lanzhou, Chu Shengan may not be able to move.

Therefore, there must be someone who is reliable enough to take responsibility for the Hongcheng incident.

And the candidates are naturally General Weiyuan and Lord Zhu.

Lu Anan couldn't help but feel curious.

"Chu Shengan is not a fool..."

"Tell me, how could he be willing to listen to Her Highness the Saint?"

Chu Jinshen lowered his eyes: "Unless... Her Highness the Saint has something he needs."

Capital city, imperial palace.

Zhang San originally planned to visit Concubine Bai at night, but was stopped by the Empress Dowager.

"I don't know what's going on in her palace."

"None of the people sent by this servant and the Empress have returned."

The old nanny frowned.

"Among them was a young palace maid, who was later found dead in the lake."

Zhang San understood what she meant.

"Madam is saying that people are..."

The eldest nanny nodded heavily: "If I'm not mistaken, it should be."

As she spoke, she sighed.

"The Queen is also worried. So many people have already been killed."

Zhang San thought for a moment and said, "But who exactly is this Concubine Bai?"

"The Queen said that instead of starting with her, it would be better to start with... that person."

The old nanny raised her chin as she spoke.

Zhang San immediately understood what she meant.

The Empress Dowager wanted him to start with Chu Shengan and find out how they knew each other before.

"It's best not to alert the enemy at this time."

Zhang San thought so too.

But in a short time, news came from there.

It is said that the master has woken up.

This is certainly good news.

After Zhang San reported this to the Empress Dowager, she and the head nanny breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good that you woke up, it's good that you woke up, it must be the Buddha's blessing."

The Empress Dowager twirled the Buddhist beads in her hand and patted her chest.

"The master said that he would let me stay here to protect the safety of the queen."

The Empress Dowager shook her head: "I don't have anything to do in the palace."

"I'm keeping an eye on this palace. If anything happens, I'll naturally send a message to you."

"Has the Empress sent a letter to the Master before?"

The Empress Dowager was stunned and nodded.

“Yes.”

Zhang San looked unhappy: "Master didn't receive it."

"That's why I asked my subordinates to stay here."

The Empress Dowager was a little confused.

"Who on earth is this Concubine Bai?"

On the other side, Chu Shengan looked at the woman in front of him with a look of surprise.

"What exactly does the Saint want to do?"

After hearing about the Hongcheng incident, Chu Shengan came to find Bai Qinghan.

At that time, Bai Qinghan said that this was God's will.

But now it seems that it is clearly a man-made disaster.

"Saint, I cannot help but wonder who did this to Licheng back then..."

Bai Qinghan remained calm and just smiled slightly.

"Your Majesty is saying something."

Before, Bai Qinghan inexplicably wanted to enter the palace and asked for the position of imperial concubine.

I thought it was for the purpose of doing great things.

But after entering the palace, Bai Qinghan seemed like a different person.

"I don't know what Licheng is."

She said this lightly.

But Chu Shengan felt horrified when he heard it.

She didn't know where the plague in Hongcheng came from?

"Your Highness, this matter...it's best if it has nothing to do with you."

Chu Shengan said this and turned to walk out.

The saint looked at his leaving back and suddenly laughed.

"Your Highness may have forgotten how you got this position."

Chu Shengan paused and his face turned cold.

"What do you mean by this, Saint?"

"I can ascend the throne, that is naturally my ability!"

Bai Qinghan glanced at him with a half-smile: "Your Majesty is talking about..."

"But, Your Majesty, do you think that simply ascending the throne is enough?"

"The Saint wants to say something."

"The one chosen by God is not Your Majesty."

Chu Shengan's face was so dark that water seemed to be dripping out of it.

"I am the Son of Heaven. It is I who hold the imperial decree to ascend the throne!"

Bai Qinghan nodded casually: "Your Majesty is right."

"It's a pity that there is no imperial seal on your Majesty's edict?"

This really hit Chu Shengan in the heart.

"Your Majesty, please remember this. Your Majesty has something to ask of me."

"After all... only I can maintain your majesty's throne."

Bai Qinghan's voice is melodious, clear and pleasant.

But in Chu Shengan's ears, it was nothing more than a threat.

"I will naturally remember what the Saint said."

"But Saint, please remember that I don't have such a good temper!"

Chu Shengan said this and strode out.

Bai Qinghan looked at her back and snorted.

"If it weren't for me, how could you sit on the throne?"

"System, how much luck has been plundered now?"

10%

Bai Qinghan frowned: "Why is it so little?"

[It is determined that there is a problem with your looting. 】

Bai Qinghan was a little confused: "What happened?"
