Chapter 221: The Irritable Queen Mother vs. the Cold Imperial Master (4)
The imperial study in the palace.
After Chu Yixiao dismissed everyone, the meekness and timidity on his face disappeared, replaced by a cold and gloomy look:
"The Jiang family is going too far! They're desperate to replace all the civil and military officials with their own people!"
"I think it won't be long before General Jiang wants to sit on my throne!"
"National Master, you need to speed up."
General Jiang rarely entered the palace, and it was impossible to place his spies in the palace, so he could only get rid of Jiang Lucha first and take back some of the power in the palace.
Ming Yan leaned lightly against the sandalwood chair, his slender jade-like fingertips slowly tracing the pattern on the teacup in his hand:
"At the earliest, two months."
The poison he wanted to give the empress dowager was the Ming family's secret medicine, which was colorless and odorless.
Although no one could detect it, the onset was slow.
Chu Yixiao was not satisfied with Ming Yan's answer, and a gleam flashed in his eyes:
"If the Imperial Master could be quicker, I could let you meet that person first."
Ding Dong—the teacup landed steadily on the table.
Ming Yan slowly stood up and glanced at Chu Yixiao.
That extremely indifferent look made it seem as if Chu Yixiao was just a weed on the roadside.
It made him feel inexplicably humiliated.
"I will do my best, my minister."
That being said, Ming Yan's nonchalant attitude made it seem like he was just being casual and perfunctory.
Chu Yixiao watched Ming Yan go away with a cold face and laughed mockingly.
What qualifications does Ming Yan have to act so superior to him?!
We are all just puppets!
A hundred years ago, the head of the Ming family was able to see into the secrets of heaven and helped the first emperor of the Great Chu overcome many difficulties.
In order to keep talented people and prevent them from flowing into other countries, the Emperor of Great Chu gave the other party the position of national teacher and issued an order -
All descendants of the Ming family must serve as the national teacher of the Great Chu, otherwise their entire clan will be executed.
Unfortunately, as time went by, the Ming family's divination skills became increasingly incomplete, and by the time they were passed down to Ming Yan's father's generation, there was very little left.
The so-called national teacher has become a decoration.
If the people did not need a spiritual sustenance and believed that the presence of the national teacher could bless the country of Chu with peace and prosperity, he would have abolished the Ming Banquet long ago.
The most important thing is that Ming Yan is the only one who can help him now
Chu Yixiao couldn't help but clench his fists.
If he endured a few more days, he would be able to kill all those who looked down on him.
-
Mulanyue was very sad because all the fish in the imperial garden were poisoned to death. After Lu Cha coaxed her, they had lunch together.
When we returned to the Cining Palace, it was already afternoon.
As luck would have it, just as Lu Cha entered the bedroom, a palace maid announced:
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Preceptor has arrived and is waiting for you in the side hall."
"Let him come here." After Lu Cha asked Jin Yu to take off the heavy crown, he leaned lazily on the soft couch.
Not long.
Ming Yan appeared at the door.
The palace maid following behind him had a tray in her hand.
There is a white jade porcelain cup on it.
"This is a decoction to soothe the nerves. It's already warm. Please take it, Your Majesty."
Seeing Ming Yan standing a few steps away, not approaching, Lu Cha took the porcelain cup presented by the palace maid and smiled with an ambiguous smile:
"I didn't expect that the Imperial Master would do something as trivial as delivering medicine."
What?
Are you afraid she'll find out it's poisonous?
Ming Yan was calm and composed:
"There are many people in the palace, and I'm worried that someone with bad intentions might take the opportunity to harm the Queen Mother."
He doesn't trust others.
Only by seeing the Queen Mother drink it with her own eyes can I feel at ease.
Lu Cha, who knew it well, curled his lips.
Just pretend!
She opened the porcelain lid and the medicine inside was black and smelled faintly sour.
Lu Cha blinked and looked at Ming Yan.
Her moist almond eyes seemed to be expecting him to have something sweet to eat.
"This medicine looks very bitter."
Ming Yan didn't even raise his eyelids: "Good medicine tastes bitter."
“…”
She should have killed the villain first!
Looking at the peaceful Ming Yan, who was like the falling snow, beautiful but cold, Lu Cha smiled maliciously and pretended to be serious.
"Last night, it was my fault. I was too reckless."
"I wanted to touch you without even asking the Imperial Master's wishes."
"Later, I even made you bleed."
Obviously nothing happened last night, but Lu Cha distorted the whole story and made it seem as if Ming Yan had done something with her.
Jin Yu, who was waiting on the side, could not hide her surprise.
Didn't the Imperial Preceptor come to treat the Queen Mother last night?!
How could...
Jin Yu glanced around at the palace maids and eunuchs in the hall who were equally shocked, and immediately waved her hand to signal everyone to leave.
This is not something they can only listen to as slaves!
Ming Yan naturally also heard the ambiguity in Lu Cha's words.
He looked up.
A girl in gorgeous clothes sat on the soft couch, holding a porcelain cup in both hands, her watery eyes blinking, as obedient as a cat.
But the cunning in his eyes couldn't deceive anyone.
Queen Mother, it was intentional.
Ming Yan's gaze was as cold as ice, like a biting winter wind, sweeping away and destroying all life:
"Please, Queen Mother, stop saying these misleading words."
[Ding—Villain Favorability Value—10.]
Lu Cha became obedient and drank the medicine obediently.
Unexpectedly, the medicine tasted sweet.
Kind of want another bowl.
Lu Cha put down the porcelain cup reluctantly, but found that Ming Yan had already walked out the door without stopping at all.
For the first time, I felt powerless.
The only interaction between the original owner and the villain was that one delivered medicine and the other drank it.
The rest of the time, we don’t see each other at all.
Even if she ordered the little villain to enter the palace, there was no way he would do it.
After all, the little villain didn't even give face to the male protagonist, the emperor.
It's a bit difficult.
Lu Cha tapped the table lightly, wondering whether he should just tie the man up and imprison him. Suddenly, his vision became blurry and his head felt dizzy.
It's a chronic poison?! ! !
Lu Cha didn't even have time to call for help before he completely fainted and fell on the couch.
-
"I don't know if adults will like this little guy, but he looks quite cute and adorable."
"I heard it happens once in a hundred years."
Lu Cha faintly heard the sound of someone talking, opened his eyes in a daze, and faced a row of thick wooden railings.
Outside the railings are pairs of huge shoes.
Thinking that he was dazzled, Lu Cha subconsciously wanted to rub his eyes, but saw a furry paw.
“?!”
My hand?! ! !
Lu Cha quickly lowered his head and found that his body had shrunk several times and seemed to be the size of a cat.
The soft silver-white hair shines in the sun.
I turned into a cat?
[No, it's a six-month-old fox.]
The system originally wanted to gloat, but when it saw the young fox tilting its head and holding up its furry little paws blankly, revealing its pink pads.
The system was excited.
Ahhh, the host is so cute like this!!!
Especially huddled in the corner of the cage! A small ball! You can see it's being rubbed!
Lu Cha said softly: [You'd better explain it to me clearly.]
The system pretends to be calm:
[Ahem, because the heroine was just reborn, the magnetic field of this small world is not very stable. Since you are a soul from another world, you will also be affected.]
[I'll just send you into this fox's body.]
[After all, the villain this time is difficult to approach. You might be able to gain his favor by using an animal's body.]
Lu Cha vaguely guessed who caused Mulan Yue to be reborn: [Was it Concubine Wan who harmed the young heroine?]
System: [That's right, Concubine Wan not only pushed the heroine into the water, but also beat her up. However, she was discovered by the heroine's maid and rescued in time.]
The original owner is currently in a coma. Jinyu suspects there's something wrong with the Imperial Master's medicine, but she doesn't dare to speak out, fearing a misunderstanding. So, she announces that you're troubled and currently out of sight, secretly finding an Imperial Physician for you.
【As for how to change bodies, you can switch by just sleeping.】
[Besides this time, you have two more chances to be a fox.]
Jin Yu grew up with the original owner and accompanied her from the Taiwei Mansion to the Imperial Palace. She was the only person the original owner could trust.
Lu Cha felt relieved and couldn't help but sigh:
Everything is finally reliable for once!
At this time, the man standing outside the cage bowed his head respectfully:
"grown ups."
Imperial Master, return home.
