Chapter 416: The Brutal Little Emperor vs. the Beauty Killer (22)
Dark Gold bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. The Twin Gu Poison has been lost for a long time, and I haven't found any useful clues."
"However, I have heard a piece of news that there is a master known as Master Yun who has entered the secular world to cultivate. He should know about the Twin Gu poison."
"This person currently resides in Qingshi Village. He is the one that Empress Dowager Rong invited into the palace many years ago."
This plot of Lu Cha Ji.
The original owner was weak and sickly when he was young, and the people in the Imperial Hospital were helpless. Empress Dowager Rong was afraid of losing this trump card, so by chance, she invited Old Yun into the palace.
Under Master Yun's treatment, the original owner's health gradually improved. For the sake of his future health, he was given a gentle, feminine name, hoping to dispel the original owner's hostility.
Although Old Yun cannot cure the twin poisons, she can use this opportunity to reduce the villain's blackening value.
Lu Cha probably had a plan in mind.
"Your Majesty, Imperial Tutor Li has arrived."
The sound of Xiaoshan entering the hall to report interrupted Lucha's thoughts.
She signaled Anjin to leave before letting Xiaoshan bring in Master Li.
As always, Li Taifu held his head high and said in a sarcastic tone:
"Your Majesty hates my nagging, yet today you summoned me to the palace for a talk. Are you trying to find a reason to kill me?"
Unexpectedly, the little emperor was neither angry nor rebuked him. Instead, he bowed earnestly and changed his name:
"What the students did before was all out of helplessness."
"Now, there are traitors and rebels who are disrupting the imperial government and attempting to destroy the century-long peace in Jinchang. I beg you, teacher, to lend a helping hand."
Now the ministers in the court are divided into three factions. One faction supports Prime Minister Gu, one faction supports Prince De, and the remaining most important faction is the students of Li Taifu and the old ministers of the previous dynasty, who remain neutral.
Only the original owner had no support because of his cruelty and stupidity.
If she could get the help of Li Taifu, she would be able to regain power more quickly.
Otherwise, I have to do everything by myself, which is really tiring.
Lu Cha was very melancholy.
As Master Li stroked his gray goatee, a flash of relief flashed across his eyes.
Although he had not attended court in the past few days, he had heard about it from his colleagues.
His Majesty began to handle state affairs personally, and did an excellent job, and stopped killing innocent people indiscriminately.
But if His Majesty gets carried away, he'll soon be back to his old ways...
He needs to observe further.
What happened at Prince De’s Mansion is not enough to prove Your Majesty’s ability.
Li Taifu habitually sarcastically said, "This old minister is not that capable of helping Your Majesty. Apart from entertaining birds and tending flowers, this old minister can do nothing else."
Lu Cha smiled brightly and threatened openly, "Then, teacher, forget about your salary until the end of the year."
"Your Majesty, please deduct as much as you want! Even if I starve to death, I will never agree!"
After saying this, Li Taifu flicked his sleeves and left, but the corners of his mouth were raised high, revealing his joy.
Lucha looked disgusted.
Ugh~
An old man with a sharp tongue but a soft heart!
This tool person is not easy to fool, she still needs to achieve some results.
[The villain has been detected to be turning evil. Please go to the Cining Palace immediately to rescue the villain.]
The system gloats:
Empress Dowager Rong is currently ordering people to fight the villains, acting out a real-life version of a vicious mother-in-law.
Lu Cha was confused.
Why did the war between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law suddenly begin? ! ! !

At the same time, in the main hall of Cining Palace.
Shen Yi lay on the cold floor tiles, his clothes on his back were slightly torn in several places, and glaring blood was spilling out.
The old maids standing on both sides of him each held a bamboo stick in their hands and whipped Shen Yi.
Empress Dowager Rong, who was sitting in a high seat, sipped her fragrant tea leisurely, looking down at Shen Yi with contempt.
At the beginning, an official sent Shen Yi into the palace. Seeing that she was beautiful, she made her Zhaoyi.
Shen Zhaoyi was a very capable person and became the only woman that Helian Lu loved.
But Helian Lu is a girl, didn’t Shen Zhaoyi realize that something was wrong?
Empress Dowager Rong waved her hand.
The two old maids understood and stopped beating.
This is a common trick used by Empress Dowager Rong.
Beat him up first to show his power, ask him what he wants to know, and then reward him with some goodies.
She used both soft and hard tactics to make people dare not disobey her orders.
Empress Dowager Rong sighed deliberately: "I don't want to punish you, but since you entered the palace, you have never greeted me. You have no manners at all."
"As the Queen Mother, I have no choice but to punish you according to the rules. Otherwise, how can I manage this harem?"
Shen Yi lowered his head and said nothing. He seemed cowardly and fearful, but in fact, there was a cold light in his eyes.
He is now in the position of Zhaoyi, so it is not appropriate for him to take action. He can only wait until he leaves the Cining Palace and then send someone to deal with Empress Dowager Rong.
"You've been in the palace for a while now, and His Majesty even summoned you to sleep with him not long ago. Are you feeling any movement?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yi replied in a low voice: "Replying to the Queen Mother, Your Majesty has fed me with contraceptive soup."
Empress Dowager Rong was stunned.
Only concubines who had served the emperor would be given contraceptive soup.
But Helian Lu is a woman, how could she sleep with Shen Zhaoyi?
Could it be that she asked a guard to have sex on her behalf?
Remembering that she had indeed instructed Helian Lu to do so before, Empress Dowager Rong felt relieved and asked her personal maid to take out a small porcelain bottle and place it on the ground in front of Shen Yi.
"This is the tonic I found specially for Your Majesty."
"However, the relationship between me and His Majesty has become strained recently. Please add this medicine to His Majesty's daily meals."
"But I hope that this matter will only be known to those within the palace, and will not reach the ears of Your Majesty."
A hint of viciousness flashed in Empress Dowager Rong's eyes.
That damn eunuch Xiaoshan was completely brainless in his loyalty to Helian Lu.
Her people couldn't get close to Helian Lu, so they could only use Shen Zhaoyi to poison him.
Anyway, Helian Lu no longer listens to her and has openly broken off relations with Prince De. She might as well let that rebellious girl become an idiot forever and be her puppet!
Queen Mother Rong gave a hypocritical smile, tempting Shen Yi: "If you do this well, I promise you that the child you give birth to in the future will definitely be the future crown prince and the ruler of Jinchang."
Hearing Empress Dowager Rong’s words, Shen Yi’s lips curved sarcastically.
He was asked to keep his mouth shut and a bait was thrown out. The porcelain bottle probably contains poison.
That pervert was so cautious and suspicious that he wouldn't even eat a bite of the cakes he brought to him.
Poisoning is simply not an option.
But Shen Yi didn't say anything.
After all, the most urgent thing is to leave this place first.
Enduring the burning pain in his back, Shen Yi reluctantly stretched out his hand and grasped the porcelain bottle:
"I will definitely not let the Empress Dowager down."
He had just finished saying this when bang!
The tightly closed palace door was kicked open.
