Chapter 409: The Brutal Little Emperor vs. the Beauty Killer (15)
Shen Yi looked at Gu Guifan sarcastically: "If Prime Minister Gu can solve the twin poison, it will be more useful than threatening me with Shen Qiuxi."
Twin poisons are divided into mother poison and child poison.
Those with a mother Gu will not suffer the pain of the poison, and will not be implicated if the child Gu dies.
However, if a child is poisoned, not only will he be tortured by the poison all the time, but if the mother who was poisoned dies, he will also die without a doubt.
Back then, the people from Chunxue Pavilion planted the mother Gu on Shen Qiuxi just to better control him.
Although he killed the old Pavilion Master to avenge his hatred, he still hasn't found any clues on how to cure the twin poison.
He protected Shen Qiuxi not out of brotherly love, but simply because his life was tied to hers.
The corners of Shen Yi's lips curled up in a sarcastic arc.
He seemed to casually let go of his hand, but the broken branch brushed past Gu Guifan's shoulder with a swishing sound and tore his expensive brocade clothes.
"I hope Prime Minister Gu will stop chirping like a sparrow."
Looking at Shen Yi's receding figure, the gentleness on Gu Guifan's face was replaced by coldness.
A disobedient dog should be taught a lesson.
Unfortunately, apart from having Shen Qiuxi as a hostage, he had no good way to deal with Shen Yi.
If only Shen Yi had a weakness...

Lu Cha has been busy dealing with state affairs these days and has no time to see the beauty. Shen Yi is also being taught by the nanny and cannot spare the time to come over.
As Lu Cha had expected, the three gentlemen, Zhao, Qian and Sun, caused trouble for Gu Guifan.
She took the opportunity to remove Gu Guifan's two followers and replaced them with her own people.
This day.
Lu Cha was reviewing memorials in the imperial study when Xiao Shan suddenly came in to report:
"Your Majesty, the King of De has just sent someone to the palace, inviting you to attend a banquet at the palace tonight at 4:00 PM."
"I heard that Prince De wanted to help the beggars in the capital so that they could have a full meal, so he specially held this banquet and asked the participants to make donations."
"Prince De also invited many ministers to attend, even the Grand Tutor and the Prime Minister were on the invitation list."
Lu Cha paused, probably guessing what Helian De meant.
Tomorrow is the last day of the five-day deadline she gave Helian De.
Helian De could not come up with the remaining 330,000 taels of silver, so he planned to embezzle the officials' money in the name of donation.
Inviting her to go was simply to use her power as the emperor to force the officials to do the bidding.
With the emperor present, who would dare not donate money?
It just so happens that she also needs this opportunity.
"Tell the Duke of De's men that I will be there on time."
Xiaoshan nodded and retreated.
Lu Cha waved his hand to dismiss everyone, called out An Jin, and whispered a few instructions to him.
After listening to Lu Cha's plan, An Jin's usually expressionless face rarely revealed a complex expression, as if he was shocked, but also seemed not to dare to dislike it.
Your Majesty, this move is truly insidious!
Thinking of his recent discovery, An Jin's eyes became serious:
"Your Majesty, while I was cleaning out the spies in the palace these days, I discovered that there were experts hiding near Chaoyang Palace where Concubine Shen lived."
"I'm afraid Shen Zhaoyi's identity is not as simple as it seems."
Compared to the heaviness of Dark Gold, Lu Cha's tone was light: "Don't worry about it."
"But when I go to find Zhaoyi Shen, you must lead them away."
At this point, Lu Cha put down the wolf hair brush in his hand and said, "Go and lead those people away now."
She wanted to see how the little villain was being trained by the nanny!
-
Chaoyang Palace.
Lu Cha came without asking the palace servants to report, and walked directly into the main courtyard. He saw the purple-clothed beauty walking carefully with a cup of tea on her head.
The nanny standing by looked as if she was going to eat someone.
Lu Cha was confused.
Didn’t Xiaoshan say he found a nanny with a good personality?
Noticing Lu Cha standing at the door, Nanny immediately knelt in fear and said, "This old servant pays respects to Your Majesty."
At the same time, Shen Yi also turned around to look.
Bang——!
The teacup above his head slipped and fell to the ground.
Shen Yi looked at Lu Cha with an even more ferocious gaze, mixed with a strong resentment.
It's like a cat that has been fostered in someone else's home, and finally sees its heartless owner coming to pick it up, its fur standing on end with resentment and anger.
Lu Cha looked confused.
Why is the little villain so hostile to her now?
She asked Nanny Xiang curiously, "Have you ever hit Concubine Shen?"
"I dare not!"
The nanny kowtowed in fear: "Even if this old slave had nine lives, I wouldn't dare to touch Shen Zhaoyi! There's something wrong with her learning..."
Seeing that Mammy was hesitant to speak, wanting to say something but not daring to, Lu Cha comforted her:
"Tell me the truth, I won't blame you."
Knowing that His Majesty had changed, Nanny hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke boldly:
"This old servant has been trying his best to teach Shen Zhaoyi these past few days. He gets up before dawn and goes to bed at three o'clock in the morning. I really can't teach her."
"She doesn't have a soft waist, her feet are big, and she's so tall, she doesn't look frail at all."
"Chen Zhaoyi is indeed a beauty, but she is not at all docile. Today alone, she broke nearly twenty teacups."
Perhaps she had found someone to pour out her sorrows to, so she poured out her sorrows of the past few days like pouring out beans. At the end, she added:
"But Zhaoyi Shen has a good figure and big enough breasts. When she gives birth to a child for Your Majesty in the future, she will definitely not have to worry about not being able to feed the prince."
Lu Cha couldn't help laughing.
Shen Yi's eyes were gloomy, and he wished he could kill the smiling little emperor and the weeping nanny right now. He felt a little aggrieved for no reason.
He is a man, how can he be as soft as a woman? !
[Ding—Villain's favorability -3.]
Oh no!
The little villain is angry!
Lu Cha instantly restrained her smile and cleared her throat: "Madam, please go down first. I will ask Xiaoshan to find someone else to teach Shen Zhaoyi."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Mammy stood up and left as if relieved, not hiding her joy at all. One could imagine how terrible Shen Yi was as a student.
Lu Cha brought Shen Yi into the palace and sat down: "Tonight, you and I will go to the Prince of De's Mansion to attend the banquet. It can be regarded as a way to get some fresh air outside the palace."
Shen Yi nodded meekly, suppressing his disgust as he held Lu Cha's hand on the table. His fingertips gently drew circles on the back of her hand, his voice soft and gentle:
"Your Majesty, can I please stop learning etiquette?"
"My feet hurt every day..."
The beauty looked at Lu Cha with grievance, with watery colors at the corners of her eyes, making her look pitiful and lovable.
Lu Cha pretended to ponder for a moment: "It depends on your performance."
"If it can make me happy, I will agree to it."
As he spoke, Lu Cha deliberately looked at Shen Yi's red lips.
Noticing her gaze, Shen Yi froze.
Sejun, do you want me to kiss him?
Shen Yi suddenly remembered the kiss in the imperial study that day, and his stomach began to churn again.
Kiss a man and he would rather die!
Suddenly Shen Yi’s head was touched by someone.
Lu Cha said innocently: "I like to see you smile."
"Just smile, and I will agree to anything you ask."
"My beloved concubine, with this expression on your face, could it be that you have misunderstood what I meant?"
Realizing that Lu Cha was teasing him, Shen Yi gritted his teeth in anger, but had to raise his bright smile and scolded:
"Your Majesty, why do you always like to tease me?"
After saying this, Shen Yi secretly adjusted his internal energy and punched Lu Cha’s chest in a shy manner: “Your Majesty is annoying.”
Lu Cha groaned as he clearly felt the impact coming, his chest aching as if he had been hit by a stone.
The beauty's little fist is quite powerful.
I suspect the little villain wants to take this opportunity to beat me to death!
