Chapter 622: Beautiful Fox Demon vs. Unfavored Prince (18)
The old emperor's eyes were sharp: "You'd better tell me the truth!"
Nalan Chen clenched his fists slightly, still feigning confusion on his face: "I don't recognize this red fox. Why is Father so angry?"
Seeing that Nalan Chen refused to admit it, the old emperor immediately looked at Qu Yueliu and said, "You tell me!"
"Tell Nalan Chen everything you reported to me this morning!"
Qu Yueliu took the order and stepped forward. "Recently, there have been a series of murders in the city. Rumor has it that a fox demon is responsible. Therefore, Yueliu and several Taoist priests have been investigating this matter day and night."
"Last night, another murder occurred in the city. Yue Liu happened to be near the crime scene and caught the fox demon. Who would have thought that it was the current Luo Guiji?"
"If Luo Guiji hadn't been seriously injured at the time, I'm afraid Yue Liu would have let her escape again."
Having said that, Qu Yueliu glanced at Luo Qianqian lying on the ground.
The latter understood and transformed into a human form.
Before Luo Qianqian entered the palace this time, Lu Cha had taken away her demon pill.
He reached a condition with her in this way - as long as she could prove that Nalan Chen was colluding with the demon clan, he would return the demon pill to her.
Luo Qianqian looked at Nalan Chen with tears in her eyes:
"Grand Prince...I am following your orders to seduce the Emperor...You must save me..."
The old emperor's face was terribly gloomy: "What else do you have to say?!"
"I strictly forbid people from having any contact with demons, yet you let a fox demon harm me!"
"Are you eager for me to pass on the throne to you after I die?!"
Nalan Chen panicked, not expecting Luo Qianqian to betray him, but he quickly regained his composure and knelt on the ground, saying:
"My son's character is obvious to all. I would never collude with the demon clan. Please understand my father!"
"In the matter of Concubine Luo, someone must have framed me!"
The old emperor lost his temper, but calmed down. He looked at the honest and simple-looking Nalan Chen, was silent for a moment, then turned to Qu Yueliu and said:
"There's nothing for you to do here, so go down first."
"You have performed a great service in catching the monster. I will reward you handsomely."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qu Yueliu bowed and took her leave.
Her part is over, now it depends on how the little fox demon will perform next.
After Qu Yueliu left, the old emperor had the annoying Luo Qianqian taken away, and then he looked at Nalan Chen again:
"You said someone framed you. Do you have a choice in mind?"
This matter may become a scandal in the royal family, so it is not advisable to let Qu Yueliu know too much.
Besides, Nalan Chen is the only heir in his mind, and he doesn't want the other party to be involved with the demon clan.
He was willing to give Nalan Chen a chance to prove himself.
However, Nalan Chen had no idea how to answer, and in a hurry, he put the blame on Nalan Ji:
"Father, I suspect it was Nalan Ji."
The old emperor frowned: "Are you sure?"
Knowing that the old emperor would not believe it, Nalan Chen gritted his teeth and said again:
"Father, don't be fooled by Nalan Ji's usual timid and cowardly appearance. In fact, that is all his disguise."
"I only recently learned that Nalan Ji has been keeping a low profile."
"What happened today is that he is afraid that I will seize the position of Crown Prince and harm me."
"After all, his mother is a demon, so it would be easy for him to contact the demon clan."
Seeing that the old emperor was shaken by what he said, Nalan Chen completely relaxed: "If your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can call him over and ask him."
"It would be best to bring Nalan Ji's personal maid, Yin Lucha."
"I've investigated and found that Yin Lucha has done a lot of things for him in secret."
As long as Yin Lucha comes over and cooperates with him to throw dirty water on Nalan Ji, he can escape danger!
The old emperor thought for a moment and asked the eunuch to call Nalan Ji here.
Not long.
Nalan Ji and Lu Cha walked into the imperial study one after another.
When the old emperor saw the appearance of the woman in red clearly, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
There is such a beauty in this palace?
"Nalan Ji greets the Emperor."
Nalan Ji timidly bowed and saluted, bringing the old emperor back to his senses.
"Let me ask you, did Luo Qianqian disappear from your place yesterday?"
"Yes, Nalan Ji was having dinner when two men in black suddenly appeared and took Luo Guiji away."
Nalan Ji answered in a low voice according to what Lu Cha told him, but doubts arose in his heart.
Isn’t Yin Lucha Nalan Chen’s man?
Why use Luo Qianqian's affairs to harm Nalan Chen?
Before Nalan Ji could think clearly, the old emperor spoke again:
"Yin Lucha, is what Nalan Ji said true?"
While the old emperor was not paying attention to him, Nalan Chen quickly winked at Lu Cha, asking her to shake her head in denial.
Receiving Nalan Chen's eye signal, Lu Cha tilted his head, looking bewildered:
"Why are you winking and shaking your head at me, my great prince?"
The old emperor looked over immediately.
Nalan Chen froze and coughed lightly a few times deliberately: "Yin Lucha, you misunderstood. I caught a cold yesterday and I felt a little uncomfortable kneeling on the ground."
This idiot, can't he even understand a single glance?!
The old emperor was skeptical about Nalan Chen's words, but still waved his hand and said:
"Get up and sit over there."
"Thank you, father." Nalan Chen specially chose the chair next to Lu Cha.
As he passed by the Lucha Corridor, he quickly lowered his voice and said:
"Admit that he colluded with Luo Qianqian."
This "he" naturally refers to Nalan Ji.
Nalan Chen thought his order was clear enough, but the woman suddenly raised her voice:
"First Prince, how could you threaten this servant and ask her to wrongly accuse the Second Prince?!"
