Chapter 239: The Irritable Queen Mother vs. the Cold Imperial Master (22)
Lu Cha shouted with all his might, but there was no movement outside. It was obvious that Ming Yan had done something.
Before she could speak again, the bed curtains suddenly fluttered and her neck was pinched by a cold hand.
The person in front of me was wearing a nightgown and had his face covered, revealing only a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes. Under the warm yellow candlelight, his eyes looked a bit warm and tender.
The usually cold and clear voice was now deliberately lowered, with a hint of hoarseness:
"I have no ill intentions. I just want to ask the Queen Mother for the soul-changing technique."
"If the Queen Mother doesn't give it..."
Ming Yan tightened his fingertips, the threat evident in his gesture was self-evident.
Plop—a crystal clear, hot teardrop fell on the back of his hand.
Ming Yan froze for a moment.
The girl was half lying on the bed, her hands tightly grasping the quilt, her eyes sparkling with clear water light:
"I don't know what soul swapping is... You can take anything from this palace."
"Can you please not hurt me?"
She asked cautiously, her soft voice trembling slightly.
Like a frightened little animal, it was trying hard to appear calm, but still revealed its fear.
Ming Yan loosened his grip uncomfortably, and suddenly a man's voice rang out from outside:
"The Queen Mother?"
Ming Yan was about to leave when his wrist was suddenly clamped.
Bang!
He was pulled onto the bed with great force.
The light gauze curtain that he had originally hung up also fell down.
Ming Yan subconsciously struggled to get up, but the black cloth covering his face was suddenly torn off.
Lu Cha smiled maliciously, without any fear or nervousness from before:
"It turned out to be the Imperial Master, breaking into my bedroom at night."
At this time, clear footsteps were heard outside the hall.
Lu Cha lowered his voice:
"If you don't want to be discovered, Imperial Master, then don't move around in my bed."
The little hand pressing on his chest was slender and soft, but it was extremely strong, making it impossible for Ming Yan to get up.
He just used his internal energy to try to break free, but the door of the hall had already been opened.
Ming Yan stood frozen motionless, looking at the smiling girl with dark eyes.
Queen Mother, you were lying to him just now!
Ming Yan couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Who would come to see the Queen Mother so late at night?
He lowered his eyes and through the hanging bed curtains, he vaguely saw the handsome man in plain clothes standing at the door of the hall.
It was none other than the current Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue—Li Yuanfan.
Ming Yan inexplicably recalled Zhuo Xuan's previous speculation, and a dark tide surged in his eyes.
Could it be that Minister Li is really the Empress Dowager's loyal follower?
Lu Cha spoke up promptly, "Minister Li came to see me, is there something wrong?"
Li Yuanfan didn't dare to go in again. He just stood at the door, looking down at the floor tiles. He didn't notice that there were two figures behind the bed curtains:
"I came here to report something, but when I arrived at the Cining Palace, I didn't see a single palace servant. It was unusually quiet."
"I was worried that the Queen Mother was in danger, so I broke in."
Ming Yan, who was hiding in bed, had his long eyelashes trembling slightly.
Before he came, he lit the sleeping holes of the eunuchs and palace maids outside. Unexpectedly, this made it convenient for Minister Li.
"Since the Queen Mother is alright, I will go to the main hall and wait."
"No problem." Lu Cha coughed deliberately: "I'm not feeling well. If you have anything to say, please tell me here."
What if the little villain runs away!
Li Yuanfan lowered his head even lower, fearing that he would see Lu Cha in dishevel and be gossiped about:
"I have secretly eliminated several people from the Jiang family recently."
"As it happens, the Imperial Censor spoke to me tonight and told me that if I have any trouble in the future, I can ask him for help."
"I suspect the Imperial Censor has noticed something."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Cha's voice rang out:
"Don't overthink it. The Imperial Censor has already cooperated with me."
"From today on, you and the Imperial Censor will work together to gather evidence of the Jiang family's devastation of the imperial court."
"As for those minions of the Jiang family, after they are eliminated, we will assign suitable people to the positions."
While Lu Cha was giving instructions in an orderly manner, he deliberately touched Ming Yan's waist.
Oh no!
The little villain has such a thin waist!
Even through the cloth, he could feel the girl's warm fingertips, and a rare blush appeared on Ming Yan Qingjun's face.
He shyly clamped Lu Cha's wrist.
Unexpectedly, Lu Cha turned over and sat on him, pressing her knees against his palms, and her other hand covering his chest, with a cunning look in her eyes.
The slightly opened red lips silently said——
"Master, you're blushing."
Understanding what she meant, Ming Yan's cheeks became even more red, as if he had applied rouge.
Especially the black hair scattered on the bed, making the ice lotus that originally bloomed on the top of the snow mountain look like a gorgeous crabapple.
Inexplicably, it attracts people to pick it.
Lu Cha couldn't help but rub his pale pink lips.
Slightly cool, but extremely soft.
Ming Yan showed his anger for the first time, but there was someone outside, so he could only turn his head away to avoid Lu Cha's actions.
But this look of resistance makes people want to bully him even more.
Tears rolled down his arrogant eyes.
Lu Cha's eyes dimmed slightly, but she heard Li Yuanfan's untimely voice:
"Your Majesty, why are you silent? This is my plan. Are there any loopholes?"
Oops!
I forgot there was someone outside!
Lu Cha cleared his throat and said, "I was just thinking about something. Please say it again."
“…”
Li Yuanfan repeated with good temper:
"General Jiang's residence is heavily guarded, making it impossible to insert spies. I intend to deliberately approach him. Even if I can't find any useful evidence, I can take the opportunity to gather some information and use it to win over General Jiang's men."
"After all, we can't kill all the civil and military officials in the court."
Lu Cha: "You decide. I'm tired."
She wants to ravage the little villain!
Li Yuanfan tactfully bowed and left.
Just as the palace door closed, and before Lu Cha could do anything to Ming Yan, she suddenly felt a tightness around her waist.
Ming Yan raised his hand and pushed her down, pressing her down on the bed.
Leaning closer, the sandalwood fragrance is overwhelming.
"If the Queen Mother could tell me the soul-swapping technique, I would not tell General Jiang what happened tonight."
Unexpectedly, the relationship between the Queen Mother and General Jiang was so bad.
She even secretly teamed up with Minister Li and the Imperial Censor to try to bring down the Jiang family.
Ming Yan had no interest in the affairs of the court, but just wanted to take the opportunity to threaten Lu Cha to tell the truth.
Lu Cha raised her arms and put them around Shang Mingyan's neck, and spoke boldly:
"Then I will tell the world about the Imperial Master climbing into bed."
"Including how big your waist is."
As he said that, Lucha maliciously stretched out his hand to compare: "It's so thin~"
Come on!
Hurt each other!
Looking at the girl under him, uttering one shocking word after another, with a bright light flowing in her eyes, like a cunning fox, Ming Yan felt suffocated for the first time.
As if by magic, Lu Cha's red lips stopped talking.
When he touched that soft warmth, Ming Yan came back to his senses in an instant.
Realizing what he was doing, he tried to get up and escape in a panic, but someone grabbed his clothes.
Lu Cha raised her head and kissed Ming Yan on the lips.
The soft tip of the tongue pushes aside and enters.
Ming Yan suddenly became stiff as a log.
The heat that broke in, carrying with it a sweet fragrance, was like wine brewed from flowers and fruits, intoxicating people's hearts.
The phoenix eyes that should have been indifferent and cold gradually became misty, and he did not notice that Lu Cha had quietly stuffed something into his lapel.
Ming Yan's mind was still blank until Lu Cha lay back on the bed.
Lu Cha slowly traced the shape of his lips. His pretty little face, illuminated by the candlelight, seemed to be coated with a layer of hazy light, soft and moving.
"Master, how about staying here to sleep with me?"
Ming Yan woke up instantly and ran away in a panic, not even daring to look at Lu Cha.
Lu Cha didn't care and smiled with a mouthful of white teeth.
I’m looking forward to the little villain’s reaction after seeing the “gift”!
Not long after Ming Yan left, Jin Yu walked into the hall with a dizzy head:
"Empress Dowager, I don't know what happened just now. Jinyu actually fell asleep outside. Did a thief get in?"
Lucha blinked and said, "You are just too sleepy. Go back to sleep."
Jin Yu retreated in a daze.
I always feel like something is wrong, but I can't put my finger on it.
