Chapter 623: Beautiful Fox Demon vs. Unfavored Prince (19)
Lu Cha feigned indignation and said, "Although I am of humble origin, I have integrity. I will never harm my master just because I am afraid of death!"
"Please, Your Highness, don't say those words again!"
Lu Cha suddenly knelt down, tears welling up in her eyes as she said, "How dare this servant ask the Emperor to make the decision."
"Today, the Emperor is here, and the eldest prince dares to openly threaten this servant. If the Emperor is not here, I wonder what the eldest prince will do."
"I'm not afraid that the eldest prince will retaliate against me, I'm only afraid that my master will be implicated. The second prince has already suffered enough..."
At the end of the speech, Lu Cha's voice was choked with sobs and he was unable to speak.
Not only did she perfectly portray her loyalty to Nalan Ji, but she also implicitly accused Nalan Chen of disrespecting the emperor.
Daring to threaten people in front of the emperor, it is clear that you don’t take the emperor seriously!
The old emperor was so angry that his face turned blue.
Nalan Chen even wanted to tear Lu Cha's pitiful face into pieces.
Recalling her previous interactions with Qu Yueliu, Nalan Chen was no fool and quickly figured out what had happened today.
From Luo Qianqian's betrayal to his desire for Nalan Ji to take the blame for him.
Every step he took was within Yin Lucha's calculations!
Otherwise, this play cannot be performed at all!
Yin Lucha is not stupid at all!
Nalan Chen felt that he had been deceived and impulsively wanted to reveal the identity of the female fox demon, but it was as if his mouth was stuck by something and he could not open it.
The body seems to be fixed and cannot move.
Guessing that this was Lu Cha's doing, Nalan Chen became even angrier.
What on earth is going on with Wangyou Tower?!
The two fox demons sent here did not even have their demon pills dug out!
The old emperor was furious when he saw Nalan Chen remained motionless and showed no sign of repentance.
"You rebellious son! I trust you so much! And yet you still dare to deceive the emperor! Do you even have eyes for me, your father?!"
The old emperor did not doubt Lu Cha's words.
After all, he just saw that Nalan Chen paused in front of the woman for a while, obviously saying something.
"I am innocent!"
Finding that he could move and speak again, Nalan Chen regained some composure.
He couldn't expose Yin Lucha's identity, otherwise this bitch would take the opportunity to bite him! Then things would become even more troublesome!
The most urgent thing is to sever ties with Luo Qianqian!
Nalan Chen knelt down in front of the old emperor:
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I did this because I was afraid you would misunderstand me and think I was colluding with the demon clan!"
"In fact, I don't know who framed me."
"I just mentioned Nalan Ji because I was too nervous, worried that Father would be bewitched by that despicable and shameless fox demon!"
Hearing Nalan Chen cursing him in a roundabout way, Lu Cha glanced at him quietly without saying anything.
The old emperor sat back in his chair and looked at Nalan Ji who had been standing quietly behind him:
"Luo Qianqian said that it was Nalan Chen who sent her into the palace to deceive me. What do you think about this?"
"Did Nalan Chen collude with the demon clan?"
Nalan Ji replied timidly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Nalan Ji has no opinion at all, and I don't know how to look at it..."
Seeing that Nalan Ji looked pale, as if he would faint at any moment, the old emperor could not hide his disappointment.
With such a timid character, what kind of talents could Nalan Ji have?
Although the boss is honest, he is very dissatisfied with the way he handled today's matter.
How can you accomplish great things if you lose your composure at the critical moment?
As for the third brother, he has not returned to Beijing yet and is only thinking about traveling.
None of these three sons is capable of taking on such a heavy responsibility.
The old emperor suddenly felt a headache. "I will order someone to investigate Luo Qianqian's matter thoroughly. Until there is a result, Nalan Chen, you must stay in Chenyang Palace and not go out."
The implication was that Nalan Chen was placed under house arrest.
Lu Cha was not surprised by this.
Male protagonist No. 1 is the old emperor's most favored candidate for the crown prince, and he has many followers in the court. She has no intention of getting rid of him just because of Luo Qianqian.
It's just to pave the way for the good show in the future.
After Nalan Chen was taken away by the eunuchs, the old emperor issued two decrees.
One is to invite the imperial teacher back to Beijing to check if there are any monsters in the palace, and the other is to execute Luo Qianqian.
Whenever the old emperor thought about how he had once doted on an unclean fox demon, he couldn't control his nausea.
Looking at the woman standing below, neither humble nor arrogant, as beautiful as a peach blossom, the old emperor's mood calmed down a lot, and his tone became much gentler:
"Are you Nalan Ji's maid?"
"Your Majesty, I am the Second Prince's personal maid."
Lu Cha deliberately emphasized the word "closely".
In this palace, a personal maid also means a servant who serves the same room as the other.
Don’t even think about taking her into your harem, you bastard!
Unexpectedly, the woman had already slept with Nalan Ji. The old emperor suddenly lost interest and waved his hand to let them leave.
Nalan Ji, who also saw through the old emperor's thoughts, showed disgust in his eyes but it disappeared in an instant.
nausea.

Lu Cha and Nalan Ji had just walked out of the imperial study when they ran into Nalan Xiyan coming towards them.
"Hey, what are you doing in the imperial study?"
Lu Cha: "Princess, this servant and the Second Prince are here on the orders of the Emperor."
"Who asked you? This princess is asking Nalan Ji!"
Nalan Xiyan habitually found excuses to bully Nalan Ji. Just as she was about to whip him, she suddenly met the woman's cold gaze.
"This place is very close to the imperial study. If the princess does anything, I'm afraid the emperor will hear it."
Nalan Xiyan couldn't help but retract her hand, but she didn't want to admit that she was scared by Lu Cha, so she raised her chin arrogantly: "This princess is not afraid of my father!"
"You are such a vicious slave, be careful you won't be able to get married in the future!"
Lu Cha smiled and said, "Don't worry, Princess. I will never marry in my lifetime. I will only stay by the Second Prince's side and serve him."
"Princess, if you block our way again and don't let us leave, I might accidentally throw you into the pond."
"You!" Nalan Xiyan's eyes widened with anger, like a kitten whose fur stood on end.
Lu Cha couldn't help but reach out and rub Nalan Xiyan's chubby face, but his face was serious:
"Princess, your face is dirty. Let me wipe it for you."
"How dare you! Who allowed you, a slut, to touch this princess!" Nalan Xiyan angrily tried to knock Lu Cha's hand away, but he took a step back first, and her attack missed.
Nalan Xiyan became even angrier, and her little face turned red.
The culprit's smile only deepened.
The little princess is so cute!
Gets angry when teased!
In order to avoid the other person getting really angry if he continued to tease her, Lu Cha stopped while he was ahead and left with Nalan Ji.
Nalan Xiyan stayed where she was, gritting her teeth and saying, "Sooner or later, I will make this lowly slave kneel down and kowtow and admit my fault!"
The maid beside her asked, "Why didn't the princess tell the emperor about this?"
"The Emperor loves you so much, he will definitely punish Yin Lucha severely..."
"Is it your turn to tell me what to do?!" Nalan Xiyan interrupted the palace maid impatiently:
"What are you all standing there for?"
"Hurry up and follow me to Chenyang Palace to see my brother!"
"This princess wants to see who is so bold as to falsely accuse my royal brother of colluding with the demon clan!"
Nalan Xiyan shouted loudly, but an unknown gleam flashed in her eyes.

Nalan Ji frowned slightly when he found that the path Lu Cha took him to was the only way to the palace gate.
"Aren't we going back to Qingzhu Cottage?"
"I'll take the Second Prince to a good place."
The inn she and the little heroine opened today, and she had to bring the little villain to liven up the atmosphere!
Lu Cha had no intention of hiding it from Nalan Ji.
The capital is so small that information spreads quickly, so there is no need to hide anything.
What's more, the inn was opened in the name of Qu Yueliu, and she was only helping behind the scenes and would not be discovered.
"I have prepared the carriage, Second Prince, just follow me."
Hearing Lu Cha referring to himself as "I" again, Nalan Ji suddenly remembered everything that happened in the imperial study.
And, she defended him in front of Nalan Xiyan.
How many faces does this fox demon have?
What's going on between her and Nalan Chen?
Nalan Ji wanted to ask Lu Cha, but couldn't find a suitable opportunity to start the conversation, so he had to give up for the time being and followed her into the carriage.
After a while.
The carriage stopped on the most prosperous street in the capital.
When he saw the plaque with the three words "Tianya Tower" engraved on it and a piece of red silk cloth hanging on it, which represented a good luck in the opening of the business, Nalan Ji paused in getting out of the car.
He is the son of a monster, a symbol of bad luck and misfortune. Wouldn't he be disliked if he came to such a place?
Just as Nalan Ji was about to go back to the carriage to sit down, the woman pulled his sleeve.
"Now that you're here, why don't you go in and have a couple of drinks, Second Prince?"
At this time, Qu Yueliu walked out of the inn.
Seeing Nalan Ji and Lu Cha, Qu Yueliu bowed and said, "Yueliu greets the Second Prince."
"I've prepared the food and wine, and several fellow Taoists are here too. Chacha, quickly bring the Second Prince in to taste the cooking skills of the chef I hired."
When he heard that there was food, Lu Cha's eyes lit up instantly and he forcibly pulled Nalan Ji off the carriage.
Nalan Ji was forced to follow Lu Cha into the inn.
Since it was the first day of opening, most of the people in the inn came to show their support and congratulate Qu Yueliu.
And all around are festive red silk cloths.
Nalan Ji, who was attending such an occasion for the first time, sat uncomfortably in the corner.
He thought someone would look at him strangely or mock him, but it was unexpected.
After paying their respects to him, these people went back to doing their own things.
It was as if he was just an ordinary guest who came to congratulate.
Some people even took the initiative to toast him and praised him cheerfully:
"The Second Prince should go out more often so that the people of the capital will know how handsome the current Second Prince is."
Nalan Ji was at a loss for what to do. He subconsciously tried to look for the familiar figure in red, but the woman had disappeared long ago.
Where did Yin Lucha go again?
