Chapter 180 You Want to Kill Me
Hearing this, Lu Chenzhou's eyes suddenly darkened, "A substitute? Is she worthy of it?"
Concubine Chun laughed wildly, her skinny fingers tightly gripping the iron bars, a poisonous light flashing in her eyes, "A heartless person like you doesn't deserve anyone's love. My dear nephew, you will never get it in this life..."
Lu Chenzhou pursed his lips coldly, his eyes dark, "Aunt, we should get going."
He opened the prison door and prepared to bring Concubine Chun out.
He had calculated the time accurately, and the poison would take effect shortly after she stepped out of the prison door.
Concubine Chun stumbled out of the prison door, then suddenly froze. A dark streak of blood trickled down the corners of her pale lips.
Her eyes were fixed on Lu Chenzhou, but her body was falling down heavily.
But in his eyes, she only saw indifference and cold-bloodedness.
As the body fell to the ground with a dull thud, blood foam spurted out from the corners of Concubine Chun's mouth and her whole body began to twitch.
Lu Chenzhou watched calmly for a moment, then was about to pretend to be panicked and call for help.
But a voice interrupted Lu Chenzhou's next "performance".
"Lu Chenzhou, I never thought you could ruthlessly kill even your own aunt. I really underestimated you."
This voice made Lu Chenzhou's face change.
His eyes were fixed on the direction where the sound came from.
How come she is here?!
Didn’t she go to the palace?
Today, most of the people in charge of the Criminal Department have been transferred to the Ministry of Justice to check case files.
There were far fewer guards in the cell.
When he arrived, he also heard someone say that Princess Zhaohua had entered the palace.
That's why he chose this time to come here specifically, so that no one would know even if he did something.
But how did she appear here?
For a moment, Lu Chenzhou suddenly felt a little panic in his heart.
He stared straight ahead until the woman in the black dress appeared in his sight.
Lin Zhaoyue walked slowly out from the darkness, her long skirt sweeping across the blood-stained floor tiles.
"Why are you here?"
Lin Zhaoyue curled her lips. "If I wasn't here, how could I have witnessed Prince Lu's act of 'sacrificing one's own family for the greater good'?"
As she spoke, she looked at Concubine Chun who was twitching on the ground.
At this time, Concubine Chun seemed to have heard her voice and looked at her with a sad and painful look.
At this moment, the subtitles floating in the air exploded
[What the hell is this?! ]
[Princess, what did you do behind our backs again?!]
[No, I'm watching it with both eyes, how come I don't know anything?]
[I only saw the princess leaving the princess's mansion! I can't see the princess's perspective anymore!]
[I suspect the princess can block us, but I have no evidence...]
[Oh my god, can the princess see us?!]
Don't scare me.
"Look, you have hated me for more than ten years. But in the end, the one who killed you was not me. Empress Chunfei, are you happy?" Lin Zhaoyue smiled faintly, but her words were heartbreaking.
Sure enough, this sentence made Concubine Chun's eyes widen and her face became distorted.
But the poison had taken effect and she could no longer utter a word. She was like a shaky dead tree that was about to break at any moment.
Lu Chenzhou looked at Lin Zhaoyue for a moment and said, "Yue'er, she wants to kill you. If I kill her, will you be happy? Will you forgive me?"
Lin Zhaoyue raised her eyebrows slightly, but her tone was sharp, "Master Lu, are you admitting that you killed your aunt?"
But Lu Chenzhou is not stupid either.
At this time, he denied Lin Zhaoyue's questioning.
"This prince didn't know what happened. I came to take my aunt away. Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked out of the cell door, my aunt suddenly died of poison. I was about to call for help when I saw His Highness."
He looked at Lin Zhaoyue steadily, "The Criminal Department is under the jurisdiction of Her Royal Highness the Princess. Please give this prince an explanation."
[Tsk, you don’t admit it?]
[My ex-husband will definitely not admit it. If he admits it now, Xiling will be doomed.]
Lin Zhaoyue sneered, "Is Prince Lu crying thief over my head?"
Lu Chenzhou looked at her and said, "I don't know what Your Highness is talking about."
Lin Zhaoyue looked in a certain direction and said, "Li Taishi, you should have written down every word that Prince Lu said just now."
Lu Chenzhou immediately looked back, and saw that the place that was empty just now suddenly had a table and a man in official uniform writing.
There was a hint of shock in his eyes.
At the same time, many people appeared in places where there was no one just now.
Xie Yu, the Chief Justice of the Criminal Division, and his men are all here!
He didn't even know when they showed up!
"Your Highness, I have noted everything." Li Taishi stood up and said respectfully.
Lin Zhaoyue said calmly, "If Master Lu doesn't remember, then Master Li will read to him word for word what Master Lu just said and did."
Li Taishi nodded, "Yes, Your Highness."
Lu Chenzhou swayed slightly, "What's going on?"
So actually all of these people were here just now?
Did they hear it all?
He wanted to ask Concubine Chun what happened, but Concubine Chun had already died.
"Why can't I see them?" Lu Chenzhou now understood that he had fallen into a trap!
These people all heard and saw him poisoning Concubine Chun!
At this moment, Mingxi walked out from the shadows and stood respectfully behind Lin Zhaoyue.
"Your Highness." He called out these two words in a flattering tone, as if seeking praise.
Lin Zhaoyue also readily praised him, "Well done."
Mingxi suddenly laughed and raised his chin proudly.
Looking at Lu Chenzhou in front of him, a hint of mockery appeared in his eyes.
Lu Chenzhou stared at Ming Xi, with terrifying murderous intent in his eyes.
At the same time, Feng Mian and Mu Ying also appeared behind Lin Zhaoyue, standing on both sides, one on the left and one on the right.
Lin Zhaoyue had no intention of explaining to Lu Chenzhou.
"Prince Lu can't see it, maybe because he is blind. It's normal that he can't see it."
Lu Chenzhou said coldly: "Yue'er... do you really want to kill me?!"
Lin Zhaoyue took a step forward and took out a dagger from her sleeve.
The dagger was unsheathed, and a cold light flashed before Lu Chenzhou's eyes.
The figures of the two were also reflected on the blade.
Lu Chenzhou's eyes sank, thinking that Lin Zhaoyue wanted to kill him with this dagger.
"Do you know what the consequences will be if you kill me?"
And he just said this.
Lin Zhaoyue had already slashed her arm with the dagger.
Blood immediately flowed down her arm.
She covered the injured part of her arm in panic and shouted angrily, "Don't you have eyes?! Lu Chenzhou poisoned Concubine Chun and was discovered by me. He stabbed me to silence me! Hurry and arrest this traitor!!"
