Chapter 139: The Lame Princess vs. the Blind Hostage Prince Consort (16)
Imperial Palace, Imperial Study.
When Lu Cha came in, she saw Gu Jingyuan sitting in a wheelchair, his face wrapped in white cloth, revealing only his cloudy and dull eyes.
The two hands hanging on the legs were also wrapped in cloth strips, and a faint blood color was oozing out.
Gu Shaofu stood behind him, his eyes red and his teeth chattering, as if he was going to rush over and tear him to pieces.
Yuan Ting sat at the desk, his elegant smile rarely gone, his expression serious:
"Anping, did you have someone sneak into Young Master Gu's mansion and brutally abuse his youngest son?"
The blame for being the villain falls on me again?
Lu Cha had already learned the whole story from the system, and he was so innocent: "It's not me, I didn't do it, he's talking nonsense."
"Except you! Who else would do such a cruel thing to Jingyuan?! And took away the badge again?!" Gu Shaofu was so angry that he gasped.
He had planned to wait until Jingyuan's ears got better before using the badge to frame Yuan Lucha. However, after just a few hours, the badge was gone! Jingyuan was also tortured to the point of being dumbfounded!
How could he bear to see his beloved little son become like this?!
After asking the imperial physician to change the medicine this morning, he pushed Jingyuan directly to find Yuan Ting to ask for an explanation!
He wants this evil woman to pay for her blood debt with blood!
"Did Mr. Gu catch the murderer? Is there any physical evidence?" Lu Cha asked seriously:
"If there is nothing, then your statement is a crime of defamation."
"I can punish you."
Gu Shaofu choked.
If I had evidence, would I still be complaining here?!
He sank to his knees, "Your Majesty! The princess is vicious and unruly! She's had affairs with numerous soldiers on the frontier! She's disrespectful! She's severely damaged the reputation of the royal family!"
"I beg the Emperor to depose the eldest princess! Throw her into the Sky Prison!"
Bang——!
The long black whip hit Gu Shaofu's back hard.
The flesh under the brocade clothes immediately burst open, and a burning pain came over him.
Gu Shaofu fell to the ground wailing.
"How dare you!" Yuan Ting slammed the table in anger.
"Anping, how dare you assault a minister in the Imperial Study! Do you still have me in your sight?!"
Lu Cha said innocently: "Brother Emperor, I am punishing the traitors."
"Master Gu slanders and defames me with nothing but empty words, showing no fear of the law. It's clear he has a complete plan to usurp the throne!"
Yuan Ting's face darkened and his temples throbbed.
Is she arguing with Master Gu?!
"Someone, take Gu Aiqing to the Imperial Hospital for treatment! Send Gu Jingyuan back home!"
"I hereby decree that the eldest princess' words and actions are inappropriate and she is suspected of abusing a minister's son. She is under house arrest for two months! Until the matter is fully investigated, she is not allowed to leave the palace!"
Lu Cha curled her lips.
That's it? Did it delay her and the villain's breakfast?
Just as Lu Cha was about to move her wheelchair and leave, Yuan Ting stopped her and dismissed everyone in the imperial study. He sighed deliberately:
"Anping, don't blame me for being harsh on you. Young Master Gu is a senior official in the court. I can't do anything about it."
"The capital city is full of troubles, and rumors are spreading everywhere. How about I give you a fiefdom so you can get away from here and rest in peace?"
"It's just right. If you hand over the remaining half of the military token, it will also silence those officials who are talking about you."
Then, I can kill her without any scruples.
A cold light flashed across Yuan Ting's eyes, but he pretended to be worried.
Lu Cha raised her eyebrows slightly.
It turns out that it was all for the military token.
"My Royal Brother, don't worry about me. Those rumors are nothing serious. If I catch one and teach him a lesson, won't that be enough?"
Seeing that Lu Cha didn't mention the military token at all, and was smiling as he rolled up the long whip in his hand, as if he was going to swing it out and hit someone in the next second, Yuan Ting clenched his fist, and the curve of his lips was gentle:
"Since Anping will not be affected, I am relieved."
"Goodbye, my royal brother."
Looking at Lu Cha's departing figure, Yuan Ting's expression gradually grew gloomy, and he called in the shadow guard:
"Go and urge Xun Ji to steal the military token quickly."
He wants this threat to disappear as soon as possible!
-
Imperial Palace, Xueruo Palace.
After hearing the palace maid's report, Huipin angrily smashed the teacup in her hand and cursed: "Bitch! Yuan Lucha, you damn bitch!"
"The Emperor only confined her feet! Did my brother and father suffer this injustice in vain?!"
The palace maid shrank her shoulders and dared not speak.
But at this moment, a woman in a purple dress walked into the hall and bowed, "Ze Lan greets Concubine Hui."
Recognizing the newly appointed Concubine Luo, Huipin slightly closed her eyes, revealing displeasure:
"You unruly thing! Who allowed you to come in without announcing anything?!"
"Ze Lan heard what happened in the Imperial Study today and was anxious to see the Empress, so he lost his manners for a moment." Luo Ze Lan lowered his eyes to hide the contempt in his eyes and spoke softly:
"Does your Majesty wish to deal with the eldest princess?"
"Ze Lan, there is a way."
If Yuan Lucha hadn't backed Luo Jinshuang, how could Daddy have changed his attitude towards her so drastically?! He didn't care about her even after she entered the palace!
It made it difficult for me to move around in the palace, and I didn't even have money to bribe the eunuchs!
It's all that little bitch Yuan Lucha's fault! Why didn't you just stay home, you crippled bastard?! What the hell did you do out here?!
Luo Zelan was so angry that his teeth were itching.
Huipin glared at Luo Zelan mockingly: "What can you do?"
"The reason why the eldest princess is so arrogant is entirely because she relies on the emperor's favor. We can do the same."
Having said that, Luo Zelan pretended to be shy and tied up her hair, making her gentle face even more charming.
Huipin tapped the table lightly in thought.
She had been in the palace for a long time, but was not favored by the emperor.
Luo Zelan is good-looking. Even if she can't climb very high, if something goes wrong, she can put all the blame on him...
Huipin showed a hypocritical smile: "Sister, sit down and talk."
-
The bedroom in the main courtyard of the Princess's Mansion.
Upon learning that Lu Cha was under house arrest, Nanny Li angrily exclaimed, "This Gu Shaofu family is truly shameless!"
"In order to break off the engagement, you spread rumors throughout the city, damaging Your Highness's reputation. Now you're blaming others for what they've done on you, accusing you of being vicious!"
"Second Master Gu deserves to be turned into a fool!"
Lu Cha raised her little hand and gently stroked Nanny Li's back: "Nanny, don't be angry."
"Let's eat lotus cakes together."
Looking at Lu Cha, who was holding a plate of cakes and handing it to her with a smile on her face, she looked so cute and adorable. The fire in Li Ma's heart was instantly extinguished, and her eyes were full of love.
"I am happy to see you eating."
His Highness has finally become cheerful, what if he returns to his old gloomy self due to house arrest...
Why not call the young waiters from Nanyue Pavilion to come and entertain His Highness?
Unaware of Nanny Li's bold idea, Lu Cha ate the lotus cake contentedly.
Hehehe~ They are all mine~

At the same time, Xiyuan.
Xun Ji leaned lazily on the soft low table, twirling the white jade wine glass with his fingertips, his peach blossom eyes, uncovered by the ribbon, sparkling and charming.
He had heard from Azhu everything that happened in the palace.
But, what does it have to do with him?
He lives for revenge. The more trouble he causes to Yuan Lu Cha, the better.
Xun Ji repeated this in his mind over and over again, trying to completely drive away the feeling of annoyance and restlessness.
"Master, this is the lotus seed soup you ordered." Azhuo walked in with a tray.
Ding——The wine glass in Xun Ji's hand landed steadily on the table:
"Find a secret guard to disguise as an assassin and ambush in the main courtyard."
He wanted to try and see if Yuan Lu Cha was pretending to be lame.
