Chapter 402: The Brutal Little Emperor vs. the Beauty Killer (8)
Shen Yi forced himself to hold on, hid in a secluded path, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
At the same time, Ying Yi, who was hiding in the dark, immediately appeared, supported the staggering Shen Yi, and checked his pulse.
After a moment, Ying Yi said in a deep voice, "The Pavilion Master's poison flared up because he took blood-activating herbs."
"But how could there be such medicinal herbs in the tyrant's chamber?"
As if remembering something, Ying Yi hesitated for a moment: "Could it be...contraceptive soup?"
"I have heard that if the current emperor does not want children, he will give contraceptive soup to the concubines who have served him in the bedroom."
Yingyi suddenly fell silent, realizing belatedly that something was wrong.
What did Helian Lu do to the Pavilion Master? He had to feed him contraceptive soup? ! ! !
Looking at Shen Yi's gloomy face, Ying Yi didn't dare to ask, and wisely closed his mouth and pretended to be dumb.
And Shen Yi's teeth were chattering, and there was a blazing anger burning in his charming fox eyes, and he couldn't stop speculating.
Nothing happened last night, but Helian Lu sent him contraceptive soup...
Is it a coincidence, or did Helian Lu notice something and test him?
Shen Yi's heart ached more and more, as if the sharp claws of a wild beast were deeply embedded in his flesh, tearing it out with all its might.
He clenched his fists so tightly that the joints of his fingers began to turn white from excessive force.
"Let Shen Qiuxi enter the palace and replace me."
If Helian Lu had given the contraceptive soup on purpose, he would definitely come over after the court session!
-
In the Golden Palace.
Civil and military officials were arranged neatly according to the size of their positions.
The officials standing on the left side of the hall were headed by Gu Guifan.
The first seat on the right was empty.
Originally this was the position of the current Grand Tutor, but because he was angered by the little emperor and fell ill, he is now recuperating at home.
Lu Cha walked to the high dragon throne and sat down.
Everyone immediately knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Long live our emperor!"
"All the ministers, please stand up." Lu Cha yawned lazily and waved his hand to let the officials start reporting matters.
Because the original owner handed over all state affairs to Gu Guifan, including reviewing memorials, the ministers who were afraid of being beheaded for no reason only talked about trivial matters in the morning court.
Most of them are going against their conscience and praising the original owner for his kindness, wisdom, and good governance.
"Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, our Jinchang has been peaceful and prosperous, with the people living and working in peace and contentment. We have achieved a prosperity that even the previous emperors did not..."
An old minister was flattering the emperor, dong dong——
A dull knock on the table suddenly interrupted his speech.
Lu Cha propped his chin up on his elbow, looking at the ministers below, and asked bluntly, "Is this what you mean by 'I have something to report'?"
"You've been flattering me for almost an incense stick of time?"
Thinking that something he had said had upset Lu Cha, the minister knelt on the ground in fear.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
"I have old people above me and young children below me! My family is waiting for me to return! I beg Your Majesty to have mercy on me! Please spare my life!"
Lu Cha smiled soothingly: "I won't kill you."
But the minister trembled even more violently.
Seeing tears in the ministers' eyes, Lu Cha couldn't help but recall what the original owner had done in the court.
Apart from the execution of an entire family for a disagreement, the most serious case was ordering people to skin an official alive in public so that all officials could admire him.
Anyone who dares to throw it away will have his hands chopped off.
It's like a tiger entering a coffin - so scary!
Lu Cha was very melancholy: "Give this dear minister a chair to sit on."
Look at the original owner, he scared people so much that their legs went weak.
The eunuchs waiting in the hall immediately did as they were told and considerately helped the trembling minister to sit on a chair.
There was a look of despair on the minister's old face.
Your Majesty must have intended to torture him with the most cruel punishment! That’s why he gave him the privilege of sitting down!
This is to let everyone see his miserable appearance!
Lu Cha looked around at everyone in the hall and issued an order:
"From today on, all memorials from you, my dear ministers, will be sent to the Imperial Study for my review."
"I have troubled Lord Gu with the affairs of state for so long. It is time for me to learn to shoulder these responsibilities myself."
When these words were spoken, all the civil and military officials could not hide their surprise.
Who doesn't know that His Majesty dotes on Prime Minister Gu?
Now that Your Majesty has taken away Prime Minister Gu’s power, does that mean he has fallen out of favor?
Facing the complicated gazes of the crowd, Gu Guifan remained calm, as if the matter had nothing to do with him. He just bowed and said "Yes, sir", but doubts arose in his heart.
Why would Helian Lu suddenly make such a decision?
The other officials were also confused about the little emperor's attitude. They looked at each other and fell silent.
"Do you have any objections to what I said?"
Lu Cha walked down from the dragon throne, and his gentle eyes instantly turned into a cold light, sweeping across everyone's face one by one.
Like an eagle circling in the dark night sky, it indifferently selects its prey below, exuding an aura of dominance that looks down on both heaven and earth.
A young official who suddenly met her eyes was inexplicably frightened and fell to his knees uncontrollably.
Lu Cha slowly leaned over: "Do you have any objections?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty did not..."
The young official stammered and lowered his head even lower, fearing that the capricious little emperor would chop off his head.
At this time, Gu Guifan stood up.
