Chapter 413: The Brutal Little Emperor vs. the Beauty Killer (19)
Lord Zhou only felt a buzzing in his ears, his head was in a mess, and he could only barely recall what had just happened. He was instantly frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.
He molested the emperor's woman?!
It's over...
Ignoring his aching head and chest, Lord Zhou hurriedly crawled out from under Lu Cha's feet, knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily: "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
"I drank too much tonight and was confused for a moment! I mistook Concubine Shen for a maid in the mansion!"
Lu Cha slowly took out a towel and wiped the remaining alcohol from his hands:
"You mean to say that my beloved concubine is dressed like a maid?"
Lord Zhou was so panicked that he stammered, "Your Majesty, your Majesty did not mean that!"
At this time, the officials in the hall heard the noise and came out.
Helian De, the leader, had already learned the whole story from the servants and glared at Lord Zhou angrily.
Although this person was loyal to him, he had a fatal flaw - lust.
He reminded Mr. Zhou that lust is a sword hanging over one's head and he should be more restrained, but the other party didn't listen at all!
Even if Helian Lu is a coward, he is still a man full of vigor and vitality!
Who can tolerate his wives and concubines being molested and almost humiliated?
madness!
Helian De suppressed his anger and gave Lu Cha a hypocritical smile:
"Your Majesty, Lord Zhou drank a lot tonight and didn't cause any harm to Concubine Shen. Why don't you forgive him this time?"
"Besides, it's hard to say whose fault it is."
Helian De whispered, "Zhaoyi Shen has a seductive look. Your Majesty should be more careful."
Suddenly, a cold light fell in front of his eyes.
Lord Zhou was beheaded on the spot.
As Lu Cha put away his sword, a cloud of hot blood mist splashed on Helian De's face.
The tip of the sword, dripping with blood, pointed directly at his throat.
"You mean, my beloved concubine is not disciplined?"
The young man had deep black eyes, but a faint smile on the corner of his lips, which made people feel strange and eerie.
Helian De suddenly realized something.
Emperor Jinchang was famous for his cruelty and bloodthirstiness, not for his cowardice or stupidity.
Helian De couldn't help but kneel down with weak legs, without any arrogance: "I dare not..."
The other officials and servants who were watching also knelt on the ground, not daring to utter a word.
Shen Yi was about to kneel down when he was suddenly supported by Lu Cha.
"My beloved concubine has been frightened, so you need to rest well."
Lu Cha returned the sword to the guard and signaled Xiao Shan to bring a chair for Shen Yi to sit on. Then his gaze fell back on Helian De.
"I think there is nothing that Prince De dare not do."
"A minister of rites dares not take me seriously, so he must be under someone's orders."
"Could it be that Prince De has already figured out how to seize power and usurp the throne?!"
At the end of his speech, the boy's voice, which was difficult to tell whether he was a man or a woman, suddenly became sharp.
Helian De trembled with fear and forced a smile: "I am your Majesty's uncle. How could I possibly do such a treasonous thing?"
Lu Cha snorted with an ambiguous tone, "I only believe what I see."
"Someone come! Search Prince De's mansion!"
"I want to see tonight if Prince De has any intention of rebellion!"
Xiaoshan immediately ordered people to do so.
Helian De's face turned pale. He wanted to stop Lu Cha's men, but he didn't know how to start. He could only keep wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
After the late emperor fell seriously ill, he thought the throne would definitely be his, so he sent people to secretly make a dragon robe and jade crown. Who would have thought that Helian Lu would take advantage of it.
He felt that he would take back the throne that belonged to him sooner or later, so he did not destroy those things, but kept them as treasures in the dark room of his study.
If Helian Lu's people were found, he would insist that someone had framed him.
Anyway, he has 50,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, so Helian Lu doesn't dare to break up with him until he gets solid evidence.
Helian De comforted himself and relaxed a lot.
Lu Cha ignored the official who was kneeling on the ground, asked Xiao Shan to get some medicine and white cloth, and took Shen Yi's hand.
Unlike the oppressive and serious tone just now, the boy's voice is now clear and gentle:
"It will be a little painful, my dear, please bear with it."
Only then did Shen Yi realize that there was a thin line of blood on his wrist.
It must be that he was trying to avoid Lord Zhou's touch and accidentally got his skin scratched by a branch.
"I'm sorry to have caused your Majesty any worry, but my injury is not serious."
Shen Yi wanted to pull his hand back, but suddenly caught a glimpse of the watery light in the boy's eyes and froze.
Sejun, are you crying?
Is it because you feel sorry for him?
Shen Yi felt something strange for no reason and lowered his eyelashes unnaturally.
It seemed like no one had cared about him for a long time.
[Ding—Villain’s favorability +3, Darkness value -1.]
Looking at Shen Yi's flawless wrist, which had an extra blood line that destroyed the perfection, Lu Cha's eyes were filled with heartache.
She likes the little villain’s hands the most!
Fortunately, it won’t leave scars!
Lu Cha couldn't help but sniff, trying to wipe away the tears in her eyes, and couldn't help but sigh:
The original owner's physique was such that he would cry whenever his emotions fluctuated.
"Your Majesty! I found the dragon robe in Prince De's study!"
The palace maid who returned knelt on the ground in fear and presented the bright yellow dragon robe with both hands.
Everyone was stunned.
How could Prince De be so bold?! He even dared to secretly order someone to sew a dragon robe?!
Helian De was stunned.
The dragon robe held by the palace maid was finely crafted and was not the one he had hidden in the secret room.
What's going on?!
Helian De didn't have time to think, and immediately cried out in injustice: "Your Majesty! I have no idea why there is a dragon robe in my house! Someone must have framed me!"
"The dragon robe was found in your study! Do you still want to quibble?!" Lu Cha pretended to be angry and threw the dragon robe to the ground, and secretly gave Xiaoshan a look.
The latter understood and pretended to be flustered to pick up the dragon robe: "Your Majesty, calm down. This matter is strange. Prince De would never think of rebellion."
Xiaoshan deliberately took a deep breath and said in surprise, "Your Majesty, this dragon robe... is the one you wore when you were drunk a few days ago!"
"You said at the time that the robe smelled too strongly of alcohol and you didn't want it anymore, so I put it in a box and gave it to the palace servants to destroy. How did it end up here?"
"The only person who frequently enters and leaves the palace without being checked by the guards for belongings is Prince De."
"But if it was the dragon robe that Prince De stole, why didn't he take a new one? Why did he take the one that Your Majesty had worn?"
Xiaoshan suddenly knelt down and said, "I have spoken carelessly, Your Majesty, and I beg your forgiveness."
Lu Cha was shocked at the right moment and looked at the bewildered Prince De: "How could you have such thoughts about me?!"
Prince De & the others: “???”
