Chapter 399: The Brutal Little Emperor vs. the Beauty Killer (5)
Helian De's eyes showed displeasure, and his tone contained a threat: "Your Majesty, do you know what you are talking about?"
"I am your uncle, and the Queen Mother has promised me that I will ask you for help if I need any help."
"You want me to go to the Queen Mother and tell her what happened today?"
He only earned a total of one million taels of silver in the past six months, which was just a drop in the bucket for Helian Lu, the emperor.
He even dared to ask for his money. Is Helian Lu still drunk?
Even Empress Dowager Rong had to be polite to him!
Heliande thought with a sneer.
Bang——!
The finest warm jade teacup fell to the ground at Helian De's feet and shattered into pieces.
Helian De was startled by the sudden noise and his face turned pale: "Your Majesty, what do you mean?!"
"Let the King of Germany wake up."
The young man in the dragon robe leaned lazily on the chair.
"I borrowed one million taels from Prince De, all from the national treasury. Considering that you are my uncle and old, I have given you some time until now."
"Yet you refused to repay me, and even tried to use the Queen Mother to pressure me. You even disregarded your status and called yourself 'I' in front of me."
"Why, Prince De wants to usurp the throne?"
Lu Cha suddenly curled his lips and smiled, but his deep black eyes revealed a faint cold light, carrying the pressure of a superior.
Helian De was inexplicably panicked, but when he thought of the little emperor's extreme fear of Empress Dowager Rong, he regained his composure and became even more arrogant than before:
"When did I say I wouldn't return it?"
"When I have enough money, I will naturally return the one million taels in full."
"Your Majesty, as the ruler of a country, haggles like a woman over a small amount of money. It's simply a disgrace to the royal family!"
"How dare you!" Lu Cha slammed the table with his hand, his voice imposing: "You are slandering me and disrespecting the royal family. Prince De is committing an even greater crime!"
"Someone! Drag Prince De out and give him a million lashes!"
"When Prince De is willing to return home to get the silver, we will stop!"
Helian De's eyes widened in disbelief: "Are you crazy?!"
"One ounce of silver and a big board, I'm your uncle!"
Lu Cha said innocently, "So I didn't order your head to be chopped off."
"You!" Helian De was so angry that his face turned red. Before he could finish his words, he was dragged out of the imperial study by two guards who came in and pressed him down on the cold floor tiles.
As the heavy wooden board fell on his buttocks, Helian De let out a pig-killing wail: "Ah!!!"
And in the imperial study.
Xiaoshan looked worried: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has a very good relationship with Prince De."
"If Prince De goes to the Cining Palace to complain, I'm afraid the Empress Dowager will scold you as she did before, regardless of right or wrong."
"Especially since Prince De still has 50,000 soldiers and horses at his disposal. If we provoke him, I'm afraid he will..."
Xiaoshan didn't continue, but Lucha understood what he meant.
It's nothing more than that Prince De will rebel.
No big problem!
Lucha changed the subject:
"Are you happy listening to the screams of the King of De?"
Xiaoshan grew up with the original owner and was the only person in this huge palace who truly protected and treated the original owner well.
The two of them said whatever they wanted to say without beating around the bush.
But the original owner had always disguised herself in front of him and never revealed her identity as a girl.
Xiaoshan nodded honestly, indignantly:
"Prince De always bullied Your Majesty. Not only did he ask for money under various pretexts, he also spoke ill of you behind your back to the officials."
Anyone who treats His Majesty badly is his enemy!
Lucha patted Xiaoshan's shoulder and said, "Go, I'll give you a chance to fight Prince De."
We need to train our little follower’s skills!
After all, there will be many more such beatings in the future!
Xiaoshan hesitated for a moment, then bowed and left the imperial study.
"Have you not eaten yet?! With such little effort!"
"Give the board to Zajia!"
Hearing Xiaoshan's shrill cry, Lu Cha expressed his satisfaction.
The gadget guy is quite good!
Helian De had been drinking and having fun for years, and his body had long been depleted. He could not bear it after less than ten blows, and howled like a ghost:
"Your Majesty! I, your servant, know I was wrong! I will go back to the palace to get the silver now!"
"Your Majesty, please have mercy! Please make them stop!"
If the fight continues, he will be half dead if not dead!
After Helian De was beaten a few more times, the little scoundrel Lucha slowly spoke:
"Xiaoshan, take people to ask Prince De for the silver."
"Prince De is old, so remember to bring an imperial physician with you. Don't let anyone faint."
Don't try to pretend to be unconscious and shirk your responsibility, you bastard!
Xiaoshan nodded in agreement: "Yes."
Helian De staggered to his feet, his eyes filled with hatred for Lu Cha.
He originally planned to get the position of Minister of Revenue so that he could spend the national treasury's money as he pleased. However, Helian Lu unexpectedly changed his behavior and demanded money from him and even executed him!
Damn little bastard!
He would report this matter to Queen Mother Rong and ask her to teach Helian Lu a lesson!
Helian De suppressed his anger and was helped away by the eunuch.
Lu Cha waved his hand to dismiss the palace maids and lay down on the soft couch in the imperial study to take a nap.
The original owner had been drinking all night and had to deal with Queen Mother Rong and Helian De today. Her head was aching so much that it felt like it was about to split. She just wanted to take a nap.
However, it didn't take long.
Lu Cha keenly felt that someone was looking at him, and opened his eyes slightly irritably.
The man standing a few steps away from the couch was tall and slender, wearing a bamboo green robe. He had a handsome and elegant appearance, with a faint smile on his lips, and was as gentle as jade.
But there was a fierceness hidden in those phoenix eyes.
How did the male lead come in???
Lu Cha belatedly remembered something—
The original owner gave the male protagonist the privilege of entering and leaving the imperial study at will without reporting.
"What brings you here, my dear?"
Gu Guifan bowed respectfully:
"I heard that Your Majesty, drunk today, accidentally pushed the Queen Mother and caned Prince De. You are in a very bad mood, so I brought some folk trinkets into the palace, hoping that Your Majesty can be happy."
As he spoke, Gu Guifan took out several wooden toys that were commonly used to coax children from his wide sleeves and placed them on the soft low table, as gentle as an older brother.
Lu Cha said meaningfully, "Lord Gu is well-informed."
How long had Helian De been out of the palace when the male protagonist knew everything that had happened?
Obviously, she has the other party's spies around her.
Gu Guifan's expression remained unchanged, but he bent even lower, saying neither servilely nor arrogantly, "Your Majesty, you worry too much."
"I just happened to be about to enter the palace and overheard the palace people talking."
"Your Majesty did not attend court this morning. Several officials said some unpleasant things in the palace. I don't know how to deal with this, so I thought I'd ask Your Majesty."
Gu Guifan took out another piece of paper from his sleeve, on which were written three names: "I have already written them all down."
In fact, he wanted to get rid of these officials.
Although His Majesty gave him great power to manage state affairs and review memorials, these powers were not enough to completely control Jinchang.
He wanted to replace all the officials in the court with his own people.
Gu Guifan lowered his eyes to hide the ambition in them.
But the little emperor, who used to believe everything he said, unexpectedly took the paper today.
Lu Cha said with a half-smile: "Call these officials into the palace. I want to hear for myself what unpleasant things they said."
