Chapter 253: The Irritable Queen Mother vs. the Cold Imperial Master (36)
The Imperial Censor looked ashamed:
"The Queen Mother had previously warned this old minister and Yuan Fan that General Jiang would find a scapegoat to escape, but this old minister failed to prevent it, and he succeeded."
"I heard that it was because Jiang Lianxue died that General Jiang was so eager to be released from prison." Li Yuanfan took over the words of the Imperial Censor.
"I went to the Heavenly Prison to investigate. A few days ago, the jailer whipped Jiang Lianxue for an entire night."
"Because she didn't receive timely medical treatment, Jiang Lianxue died before dawn."
"Given how much Commandant Jiang loves her, he will definitely find a way to take revenge on the Queen Mother. You must be careful recently, especially about what you eat. You must have it checked."
Lu Cha nodded his little head, not worried.
If General Jiang is released from prison, the problem will be solved more easily.
After all, people can do anything only when they are pushed into a corner.
"Lord Mu and Minister Li, please be prepared. General Jiang may make some moves in the next two days."
"As soon as possible, tonight."
As soon as Lu Cha finished speaking, Jin Yu entered the palace and reported: "Empress Dowager, the Imperial Preceptor is here."
Li Yuanfan knew the situation very well: "Then Lord Mu and I will go out through the side door."
The Imperial Master's mind is not too broad.
The Imperial Censor, not knowing the truth, left with Li Yuanfan in a daze.
Why can't they go through the main gate when the national teacher comes?
Not long after the two of them left, Ming Yan entered the hall.
Seeing the wooden box in his hand, Lu Cha stepped back slightly in fear.
Although the current decoctions are sweet and sour and taste good, you can’t drink them every day!
"Today, I brought preserves and fish."
Ming Yan took out the things in the wooden box one by one.
Lu Cha pointed at the white jade porcelain cup that Ming Yan placed on the table and said eagerly, "Can I not have it?"
Knowing that the little girl was fed up with taking medicine every day, Ming Yan paused:
"I'll make a decision after I've taken your pulse."
He raised his hand and placed it on Lu Cha's wrist, frowning slightly.
The Queen Mother has been taking the antidote for more than five days. Logically, there should be little toxin left in her body.
Why is there no change at all?
"Has the Queen Mother drunk the medicine that Zhuo Xuan sent earlier?"
Lucha nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
She didn't even water the flowers this time!
A hint of doubt flashed in Ming Yan's eyes.
Could it be that the addition of Coptis chinensis in the previous doses affected the efficacy of the medicine?
"Do I still need medicine?"
Meeting Lu Cha's expectant gaze, Ming Yan nodded lightly.
Lu Cha wilted immediately, and suddenly a bony hand covered her head.
Ming Yan touched Lu Cha's head awkwardly:
"I will do my best to shorten the time it takes you to drink the medicine."
By increasing the dosage, the Empress Dowager should be able to take less medicine for a few days.
Ming Yan was thinking when his wrist was suddenly clamped and then he was hit by a strong force.
He was pulled from the chair to the soft couch where Lu Cha was.
A sweet candied fruit touched his lips and teeth.
Lu Cha half-pressed on him, her fingertips lightly touching the spot on his heart where the cinnabar mole was, her autumn eyes slightly curved, and she spoke softly and coquettishly:
"I'll give the Imperial Master some candied fruit. Can you please not take the medicine?"
She had just finished her breakfast and didn't drink anything!
Ming Yan swallowed the candied fruit in his mouth, his eyes dark, "You have to drink the medicine."
"If the Queen Mother doesn't like it, I can serve you the medicine."
Before Lu Cha could react, Ming Yan put his arms around her slender waist, stood up and pressed her down.
With his other hand, he picked up the porcelain cup on the low table, took a sip, and kissed Lu Cha's lips.
The sweet and sour medicinal juice slowly flowed into his mouth, and Lu Cha was stunned.
Is the little villain so proactive today?!
Ming Yan carefully traced Lu Cha's lips, not letting a drop of medicine leak out.
After Lu Cha had finished drinking it, he held the second mouthful of medicine in his mouth and continued to feed it through his lips.
After drinking a cup of medicine, Lu Cha's cheeks were already flushed with rosy clouds, and she looked so beautiful.
Ming Yan's handsome face was also covered with a faint red.
The deep voice, mixed with hoarseness, was like the last bit of beauty flowing from the throat after the lingering love:
"Will the Queen Mother drink tomorrow's medicine herself?"
Lu Cha nodded his head with a lingering feeling.
She likes this way of giving medicine!
etc!
Drink it yourself?
Lu Cha blinked and said, "Master, you won't feed me tomorrow?"
Ming Yan rarely smiled, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice, "The Queen Mother has just agreed to drink it herself."
“…”
She suddenly wanted to stab the little villain.
Seeing the girl puffing up her cheeks, like a teased kitten with a look of resentment on her face, Ming Yan quietly stood up and tidied up the porcelain cup, but a gentle light flashed in his eyes.
It’s not bad to tease the Queen Mother occasionally.

At the same time, in the study of Jiang Mansion.
General Jiang, sitting in a wheelchair, looked haggard, but his slightly red eyes were filled with terrifying hatred.
He spoke in a cold voice and ordered the followers around him:
"Have all officials impeach the Queen Mother at tomorrow morning's court session."
"No matter what the reason, Jianglu Tea must be taken down!"
He wanted to kill that rebellious girl and avenge Xue'er!
Noticing his followers were hesitant to move, General Jiang's eyes widened in anger. "What are you standing there for?! Why don't you just go?!"
The attendant hesitated and said, "Sir, you have just been released from prison and you don't know yet. There are no members of our family in the court anymore."
"I don't know who's secretly targeting us. In just three days, they've killed more than half of us on various charges."
"And those who remain have no power."
At this point, the attendant sighed and said, "Not only that, your private property in the city has also been confiscated."
General Jiang was stunned.
He thought of countless plans to deal with Jiang Lucha, but he never expected that he would lose everything after just staying in the Sky Prison for a while.
Then how can he take revenge? !
General Jiang was so angry that he swept everything on the table to the ground.
The followers retreated in fear, not daring to breathe.
A moment later.
General Jiang calmed down a little.
Now there is only one way for him to go.
Since death is inevitable, you might as well give it a try.
General Jiang gritted his teeth and said, "Gather the rest of us and have the spies in the palace prepare for the assassination of Chu Yixiao tonight!"
He just couldn't believe that even if he sat in that position, he still couldn't do anything to that rebellious girl!
The attendant immediately did as he was told, and did not notice that a servant who was sweeping the floor outside the study had quietly left.
It takes less than an incense stick of time.
The conversation between General Jiang and his entourage was reported to the Imperial Master's Mansion.
Ming Yan slowly stroked the lines on the porcelain cup in his hand: "Is there any movement from Lord Mu's side?"
Zhuo Xuan bowed his head and replied, "He and Minister Li have already gathered their own troops. It must be the Queen Mother's order that they make preparations in advance."
"Pass this message to Lord Mu and send our people to help, but don't let them get caught."
Since the Queen Mother wants to play, let her play to her heart's content.
After Zhuo Xuan left, Ming Yan carefully put the porcelain cup into the cabinet.
There were also several identical porcelain cups placed inside, all of which were used by Lu Cha to take medicine during this period.
Ming Yan's fingertips fell on the edge of a porcelain cup, and he seemed to still feel the girl's residual warmth. Deep greed spread in his usually cold and empty eyes.
-
Midnight.
Dark clouds cover the moon and a gentle breeze blows.
Every household had turned off the lights and gone to sleep, except for the study in the Jiang Mansion, where candles were still burning.
General Jiang clenched his fists nervously and looked at the door from time to time, waiting for good news from his followers.
An hour has passed and there is still no movement from the palace. Could it be a failure?
No.
The men he sent were all death warriors, and there were people in the palace to pick them up and lead the way, so there was no chance of any accidents.
General Jiang wanted to pour a cup of tea in annoyance, but found that the teapot was empty. He was about to call someone in when suddenly a noisy sound was heard.
He immediately moved his wheelchair and wanted to go out to check the situation.
But just as he approached the door, bang!
The door of the study was kicked open.
General Jiang was thrown to the ground and screamed in pain.
Li Yuanfan strode in with a stern look on his face, followed by well-trained soldiers:
"Take General Jiang to the front yard."
