Chapter 673: Pitch Black
"Why? She, Lu Chaochao, can enter the palace at will. As the queen mother, how can I not allow her to do so?"
The Queen Mother looked at Lu Chaochao with disgust, unable to hide her anger.
Her son failed in his bid for the throne and even lost his life.
The son of that bitch Lin Bin, however, reaped the benefits and became the emperor!
Whenever she thought of this, her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.
The chief eunuch smiled apologetically and said, "Oh, your majesty, you are the honorable queen mother, and His Majesty has to call you mother. How can I not see you..."
"Princess Chaoyang saved your majesty's life, is a guest who came from afar, and is also the Queen of the Southern Kingdom... This..."
"Your Majesty, when His Majesty is done with government affairs, I will come to the Cining Palace to see you."
"These people are displaced and cannot wait even a moment." The eunuch spoke without making a single mistake, with a smile on his face.
The empress dowager glanced at Lu Chaochao. How could a child of such age be considered an honored guest?
A girl inherits the throne, the Southern Kingdom is really confused!
The girl beside her gently tugged at the corner of the empress dowager's clothes: "Aunt..." She looked at the hall eagerly, her cheeks blushing with shame.
The Queen Mother patted her arm and said in a deep voice, "Tell the Emperor."
"He is now eighteen years old, his harem is empty, and he has no children. My Xuan family has a weak bloodline, and our ancestors dare not close their eyes!"
"The late emperor already had three sons and two daughters at his age..."
"How long does he want to delay this?"
"He has to agree to this year's draft even if he doesn't agree!"
"You tell the emperor this and the selection will be carried out tomorrow!" After the empress dowager said this, the little girl beside her helped him leave.
The eunuch sighed quietly.
Just at this moment the palace door opened, and the court officials and the Beiming tribe came out.
The eunuch turned his head...
I almost fell to my knees.
He covered his mouth tightly, looked at everyone in horror, then suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself!
Lu Chaochao covered her mouth tightly. Damn it, I forgot!
You cannot eat black fruit during a meeting.
The black fruit, also known as mulberry, is black with red in color and each one is juicy.
At this moment, the old ministers had black mouths, and their exposed teeth were all black with a hint of red. Lu Chaochao's shoulders were shaking. It was over...
She looked inside and saw King Dong Ling wiping his mouth suspiciously, with his hands behind his back and his eyes looking up at the sky with an innocent look on his face.
Wait until the court officials leave the hall.
Lu Chaochao burst into laughter. The old ministers looked at each other, covered their mouths and ran away.
Oh my god!
"Are you so happy?" King Dong Ling squatted down and gently wiped the black and red juice from her fingertips.
Lu Chaochao nodded her head and smiled with tears in the corners of her eyes.
After having dinner with Xuan Jichuan, he simply rested in the palace.
When Lu Chaochao woke up, she yawned and stretched: "Where is Xuan Jichuan?" When the palace servants heard her calling the emperor's name, they knelt on the ground.
"The Empress Dowager suddenly fell ill last night, and His Majesty is in the Cining Palace and has not returned yet. Princess, would you like to have dinner first?" The imperial kitchen had already prepared food.
"Okay." But he didn't come back after Lu Chaochao finished breakfast.
She immediately decided to go to the Cining Palace. The palace servants couldn't stop her, so they had to follow her in a hurry.
But before Lu Chaochao approached the Cining Palace, he saw that the guards outside the palace were tight.
"Where is Xuan Jichuan? I want to see him!" The general guarding the gate knew how important she was to the emperor, so he did not stop her.
But when you step into the Cining Palace, you will find that the atmosphere inside is heavy and suffocating.
There were several palace maids and maids lying in the yard, covered in blood.
It looked like he had just been beaten with a stick, and there was blood all over the ground, which was shocking.
His weak hands hung at his sides, his eyes were staring, and there was scarlet blood around his mouth.
There seemed to be some fear left before death.
The chief eunuch was standing at the door with a sullen face, murderous intent in his eyes. He was no longer as gentle as he was in front of Lu Chaochao.
That’s right, how could a tiger’s follower be a sick cat?
"This is what happens when you can't tell who is the master of something!"
The Queen Mother in the palace was so angry that her face turned blue: "You bastard, you are a eunuch, and you dare to be an accomplice to the tiger in my palace!"
The eunuch just looked at her coldly and stood behind the emperor.
King Dong Ling, who used to be meticulously dressed, now had his clothes slightly dishevelled, his face grim, and murderous intent in his eyes. There was a dishevelled girl kneeling in front of him. She was the niece who had served the empress dowager before.
The woman was beautiful and shyly knelt beside the Queen Mother: "Aunt, please make the decision."
King Dong Ling looked at everything in front of him coldly: "Good, good, very good!"
"The Queen Mother actually used such a shady method..."
"Don't you think that I dare not do anything to you? You actually let this woman climb into my bed!" King Dong Ling was almost laughing out of anger.
The Queen Mother felt a chill in her heart under his gaze. But she remembered that she was now the queen mother and his nominal mother. Could it be possible that he could kill his mother?
"Although you are not my biological child, I treat you as my own and have never plotted against you."
"I have a clear conscience!"
"This slave girl in the palace had the idea of climbing into the bed, and Yu'er accidentally fell into the trap. That's why today's incident happened."
"Yu'er is a lady from a wealthy family. Now her reputation has been ruined. You must give her an explanation."
Xuan Jichuan looked at her condescendingly: "Explain? Do you want the position of the mother of the country?"
The woman blushed, twirled the corner of her clothes, and a smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
"You are worthy!!" His cold words made the woman freeze.
"Xuan Jichuan!!" The Queen Mother slammed the table, scaring the palace maids around her to kneel on the ground.
"Yu'er's family background, appearance and talent are first-rate, how could she not be worthy of you?"
"Yu'er has been waiting for you since you came back from Beizhao. She has been waiting for you for three years!"
"What do you want to do by not marrying a wife or participating in the imperial examination? The bloodline of my Xuan family will be cut off! Are you worthy of our ancestors?" The Queen Mother cried bitterly. Why? Why did Xuan Jichuan succeed to the throne?
She hated Concubine Lin so much back then that she sent Xuanyin to marry and Xuan Jichuan to be a hostage.
But he didn't expect that he would become the only bloodline of the Xuan family.
She hated it, she really hated it.
After years of planning, the throne was actually taken by the enemy's child! How could she not be angry!
Xuan Jichuan looked at her with a fake smile: "Bloodline cut off? What does it have to do with me?"
The Queen Mother was so angry that she fell backwards, pointing at his hand and trembling: "Evil creature, evil creature! You are committing evil... The Xuan family's empire will be destroyed in your hands sooner or later!"
Xuan Jichuan ignored her indifferently.
"I will never allow it! Do you want to marry the monster in your dream?!" the Queen Mother shouted harshly.
As soon as the Queen Mother said this, Xuan Jichuan immediately looked at her.
His eyes were grim, as if he was looking at a dead person.
