Chapter 241 The Queen Mother and the Regent Who Became a Cat 2
As you walk into Taiqing Building, a strong, dizzying aroma of incense hits your nose.
There is a figure hiding in the darkness.
The maid who was supporting Cha Jiu also looked nervous.
This conspiracy was so poorly planned that there were clues everywhere.
Cha Jiu sneered in his heart.
System: "The late emperor was intelligent and kind, but his only son was mediocre. He was not smart or diligent in his studies, and he has not even memorized the first volume of the most basic statecraft. You and the Regent King were harsh on him, which made him dissatisfied and closer to the treacherous ministers around him. I believe that you and the Regent King have rebellious intentions."
"The plan to seize your body was also proposed by his attendants. Controlling your body to find out the secret order was the first step. Then, creating the illusion that the regent was rebelling and using the secret order to eliminate him was the second step."
Cha Jiu continued: "The third step is to let me, the abducted queen mother, return to the government and slowly die of illness, right?"
System: "He is more cruel than you think. The previous emperor welcomed you into the palace as his empress, but poisoned his mother to death. So he hates you and has set up eighteen torture chambers, waiting to recall your soul after the plan is completed and torture you to death."
Cha Jiu was speechless.
It was the late emperor who killed Zong Qiguang's mother, and Lu Zhaoyu was just a chess piece who had no control over his own destiny.
Poor Lu Zhaoyu inherited his grandfather's loyalty to the late emperor, and was determined to help Zong Qi Guang become a talent, but he was framed in such a vicious plot.
Cha Jiu used anti-poison medicine before coming in.
Now thinking that the time was about right, she pretended to be unwell, frowned and lay down on the beauty couch.
The personal maid breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked the person hiding in the dark to come out.
It was the little girl beside the little emperor.
The maid was worried: "I have done everything you ordered. Can my brother be released from prison and spared the death penalty?"
She didn't want to betray the Queen Mother either.
However, her brother accidentally killed a prostitute while visiting her and was sent to prison to pay for his crime.
The Queen Mother was impartial and unwilling to help her, so she had no choice but to defect to the Emperor's side.
"Of course I'll help you. Go aside first and don't get in the way." The little monk pushed the palace maid aside impatiently and waved his hand to signal the wizard behind him to come forward and perform a ritual.
Those wizards wore bronze ghost masks, wide robes mixed with red and black, and had long strips of cloth hanging all over their bodies like talismans. They looked eerie and mysterious, as if they came from some remote mountain tribe.
They were seen dancing around Cha Jiu, burning talismans and plants in their hands and singing strange tunes.
At a certain moment, Cha Jiu actually felt that his consciousness began to dissipate, as if his soul was about to leave his body.
“Bang!”
The system used a small electronic hand to push Cha Jiu's soul back into his body and began to use the "good luck assist item".
One of the wizards seemed to be distracted suddenly, and the spell he was chanting changed.
"Seize the house, seize the house, become a cat, become a cat, become a cat..."
The two wizards next to him were stunned. When they were about to remind him, the beauty on the beauty bed suddenly emanated a dazzling white light.
Everyone in the room couldn't help but raise their arms to block their view.
When the light faded, there was only an empty peacock and peony embroidered gown on the beauty couch. There was no trace of the empress dowager.
"Where are the people?" Xiao Luzi was dumbfounded.
The wizards were also dumbfounded.
The maid pointed at the small bulge in her peacock robe and asked, "Is this it?"
The wizard stepped forward and lifted the robe, and a white fluffy ball with glass-like cat eyes appeared before his eyes.
"This is..." Before he could react, he was clawed by the ball.
Then Dumpling rushed to the floor like a small cannonball and ran out the door.
"Oh no! The Queen Mother has turned into a cat!"
"It's all your fault! I chanted the spell wrong!"
Little Luzi was so angry that he said, "What a bunch of rubbish! Someone, bring the cat back to me!"
If the Queen Mother escapes, Your Majesty will chop off their heads!
…
The personal maid had sent away most of the people in Taiqing Tower in advance, and in order to keep the matter secret, Xiao Luzi only brought a few trusted confidants with him.
After turning into a cat, Cha Jiu moved swiftly and easily dodged the eunuchs who were chasing him. He escaped from Taiqing Building and ran towards the theater.
But once they left Taiqing Tower, Xiao Luzi had no more scruples and directly ordered the guards to arrest Cha Jiu.
"This is your Majesty's cat. Don't hurt her. Whoever catches her will be rewarded handsomely!"
More and more people were catching up with him, and many of the guards were very agile, so it became difficult for Cha Jiu to cope with the pursuit.
She dodged left and right and rushed into the garden, sometimes jumping onto the rockery and sometimes leaping over the flower beds.
It was like passing through thousands of flower leaves, and every one of them touched my body.
"I got you!" A guard suddenly appeared from the front, grabbed Cha Jiu's neck and lifted her up.
Cha Jiu was strangled to the point where she could hardly breathe, so she bit the guard's hand.
The guard felt pain and threw her out subconsciously.
Cha Jiu fell into a nearly dried-up mud pond, her whole body convulsing in pain, but she had no time to recover completely, so she gritted her teeth and continued running towards the stage.
Almost there!
Almost there!
During the pursuit, Cha Jiu jumped onto the attic of the viewing platform first and rushed towards the figure in the black robe with gold embroidery.
Zong Yue's position was originally supposed to be arranged next to the little emperor.
But he didn't like being surrounded by people and the mixed atmosphere. If it wasn't for giving face to the little emperor, he wouldn't even be willing to come to this birthday banquet.
Therefore, he preferred to sit on the quiet side of the stage.
This made it convenient for Cha Jiu to rush towards him without attracting attention.
Zong Yue's personal bodyguard Yun An was very alert and stretched out his hand to catch the dirty cat flying in the air.
The dirty cat Chajiu widened his eyes and gave a ferocious warning: "Meow!"
Don't get close to me!
Zong Yue saw her strange eyes and was stunned for a moment.
"Yun'an." He reacted in half a breath and waved away the guards.
A cat ball hit him precisely in the arms.
The cat was filthy, covered in leaf fragments and mud. Its once shiny and smooth fur had turned gray, wet, and stuck together in tangles, making it almost impossible to tell its original color.
There is only a pair of clear and clean cat eyes like glass beads, one is amber yellow and the other is sapphire blue.
Yun An knew that his master had a cleanliness fetish, so he said, "My Lord, how about I take this cat away?"
At this moment, there was a burst of hurried footsteps coming from the stairs.
Xiao Luzi and his men caught up with them, looking around for something with an expression that showed he couldn't hide his anxiety.
Zong Yue glanced at them calmly and said, "Your Majesty, these people around you are becoming more and more unruly."
Yun An whispered, "I heard that the attendants around His Majesty have recently invited a number of wizards to the palace. They are sneaky and I don't know what they want to do."
The little cat in the arms seemed to be very afraid of the visitor. Its wet body began to tremble, and its claws were pulling at Zong Yue's robe, as if it wanted to drill into his robe.
Zong Yue raised his eyebrows, as if he understood something: "They are looking for you"
But after saying this, he chuckled at himself.
He was a little foolish, talking to such an inhuman cat.
Unexpectedly, the little cat that was scratching him with its claws actually slightly raised its head.
Zong Yue was slightly startled.
Seeing that the little monk's gaze was moving around and was about to fall here, Zong Yue finally took action.
He lifted his robe slightly to cover the shivering kitten in his arms, leaving a hidden opening for her to breathe.
