Chapter 418: The Brutal Little Emperor vs. the Beauty Killer (24)
Seeing Lu Cha reaching out to take off his clothes, Shen Yi retreated in panic, clutching the dragon robe draped over him even tighter:
"I am shy and it is daytime now. I dare not take off my clothes for fear of being seen and misunderstood. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."
Looking at the beauty who was forced into the soft corner, her eyes trembling, like a frightened little fox, using the dragon robe as its tail to protect its body tightly, Lu Cha couldn't help laughing.
The trembling little villain is so cute!
Taking into account the injury on Shen Yi's back, Lu Cha only teased: "Then wait until dark, I will come to change your medicine."
"Once the candle is blown out, my beloved concubine will not be afraid of being seen no matter what I do."
Shen Yi gritted his teeth.
Sexy man!
After Lu Cha left, Shen Yi called out Ying Yi to help him apply the medicine.
Through the brass mirror standing on the table, Shen Yi saw the crisscrossing scars on his back, which had already torn his skin and flesh.
Ying Yi carefully poured the golden medicine on Shen Yi's wound: "The master's wound will be healed in about ten days. You must take good care of it in the next few days, otherwise it will leave scars."
Shen Yi said calmly: “No need to bother so much, use the rejuvenation pill.”
Ying paused.
The Rejuvenating Pill was a medicine he specially prepared for the assassins of Chunxue Pavilion, which could heal all external injuries in the shortest possible time.
But there are also drawbacks.
Until it is completely healed, the wound will continue to feel painful and itchy as if it were being bitten by insects and ants.
"Pavilion Master, considering the severity of your injuries, if you take the Rejuvenation Pill, you will recover in two or three days. However, the medicine contains blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing ingredients, which will trigger the poison in your body."
"In other words, you'll have to endure two or three days of pain..."
"A short pain is worse than a long one." Shen Yi put on his clothes, interrupted Ying Yi, and gave instructions in an orderly manner:
"Helian Lu may come over in the next few days. Send someone to tell Gu Guifan to give Shen Qiuxi enough antidote and let her enter the palace to replace me for two days."
"Order the assassins from Chunxue Pavilion to assassinate Empress Dowager Rong."
"By all means, bring back her head."
Shen Yi leaned lazily on the soft couch, with a seductive and cold smile on his lips.
How could we let Empress Dowager Rong settle this account with just a beating?
Ying nodded in acceptance: "Then do you want me to take this dragon robe away and destroy it?"
He glanced at the dragon robe thrown on the couch, and his eyes suddenly dimmed.
That lustful man is not afraid of using the dragon robe to do bad things.
Do you trust him so much?
[Ding—Villain Favorability +3.]
Shen Yi retracted his gaze: “Keep it.”
It’s just a piece of clothing and it doesn’t take up any space, so the pervert won’t come to ask for it.

The other side.
Lu Cha returned to the imperial study and called out to An Jin: "How's the evidence collection going regarding the Empress Dowager's murder of the late Emperor's concubine?"
When she ordered An Jin to investigate the twin poisons, she also asked him to investigate Empress Dowager Rong.
"This matter happened too long ago. I am incompetent and have only found evidence that the Queen Mother framed Your Majesty."
An Jin presented Lu Cha with a stack of letters: "These are letters that were privately kept by several folk storytellers."
"The Queen Mother was worried that the palace maids and eunuchs might reveal her plans, so six months ago she bribed folk storytellers to frame Your Majesty and spread rumors that you were cruel and brutal and had killed all of the late emperor's concubines."
"However, those storytellers were afraid that this matter would implicate them, so they did not follow the Queen Mother's order to burn the letter. Instead, they agreed to secretly hide it under the floor tiles in their homes."
"It's a pity that the Queen Mother has hired someone to kill him. Otherwise, there would be a witness, which would be more beneficial to Your Majesty."
"These letters are enough." Lu Cha took the letter and put it on the table.
"Send a few skilled secret guards to the Cining Palace to protect the Queen Mother."
"As long as people don't die, nothing else matters."
Given the villain's personality, he will definitely ask someone to kill Queen Mother Rong.
She will need to use Queen Mother Rong in the future to restore her daughter's body, and she can't let the little villain ruin it.
After all, the original owner's wish was not only to get rid of Queen Mother Rong, but also to secure the throne.
The male protagonist and the bastard are now staring at her covetously. If Empress Dowager Rong dies, these two people will definitely make a big fuss about it.
What happened in the Cining Palace today will probably be used by officials to investigate.
Lu Cha sighed melancholy.
If she didn't have this wish to secure the throne, she could have killed all the troublemakers without any scruples.

As Lucha expected, at the morning court the next day, a minister stood up and said:
"Your Majesty, I have heard that you whipped the Empress Dowager yesterday for Concubine Shen Zhaoyi, and also ordered the Cining Palace to be sealed off, prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving."
"The Empress Dowager is your Majesty's biological mother. Your Majesty's actions are contrary to filial piety and will probably arouse public outrage. I suggest that your Majesty lift the ban on the Cining Palace and apologize to the Empress Dowager in public."
Taifu Li, who was standing at the first position on the right, sighed softly and shook his head.
"Your Majesty will report any flaws. Lord Wu, you are just a minister. How dare you give His Majesty advice? Be careful not to lose your head."
It seems that Li Taifu is being sarcastic to Lu Cha, but he is actually criticizing Lord Wu for not being clear about his own identity.
Among all the civil and military officials, besides Taifu Li, the ones with the most say are Gu Guifan and Helian De.
The three of them didn't say anything, but Lord Wu stood up and criticized His Majesty first. Doesn't this mean he doesn't take them seriously?
Just because Helian De is behind you, you are so rude?
A hint of sarcasm flashed across Master Li's eyes.
Lord Wu knew that he could not win the argument with Grand Tutor Li, so he waved his hand and signaled several other officials to stand up.
They were all Helian De's men, and were ordered to put pressure on His Majesty to release Queen Mother Rong.
One of the officials summoned by Lord Wu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please accept Lord Wu's suggestion and execute Concubine Shen."
"This woman is simply a disaster!"
"A few days ago, at the banquet at Prince De's mansion, she nearly caused a rift between His Majesty and Prince De. Now, she has tricked His Majesty into assaulting the Empress Dowager."
"If Your Majesty does not execute Concubine Shen, Jinchang will be destroyed by this woman sooner or later!"
As the official was speaking, there was a snap!
Lu Cha, who was sitting on the dragon chair, placed the teacup heavily on the table.
The officials were suddenly silent.
Lu Cha glanced casually at Lord Wu and the others standing in the center of the hall.
"My dear ministers, you are truly well aware of the affairs of the palace."
