Chapter 238: The Irritable Queen Mother vs. the Cold Imperial Master (21)
Seeing what the Imperial Censor was thinking, Lu Cha sighed in mock melancholy.
"Actually, this is the order from the late emperor."
"Before the late emperor passed away, he told me to join forces with Lord Mu to eliminate the scourge of the Jiang family."
"The relationship between Ai and General Jiang is not simply that of father and daughter. We are puppets and manipulators."
Lu Cha told the story of how General Jiang used her as a scapegoat.
Including the bullying he suffered in the Jiang family since childhood, he portrayed himself as a poor little person who endured humiliation and bore heavy burdens.
After hearing this, the Imperial Censor's brows were furrowed into a shape of a "川" (river) and his eyes were filled with surprise.
He had always felt that the relationship between General Jiang and the Queen Mother was somewhat subtle.
No one expected that General Jiang was so cruel that he would even use and sacrifice his own daughter.
"General Jiang is a man of wicked ambition. As a minister, he does not work hard for the Chu State. Instead, he disrupts the government and acts recklessly."
"If we don't get rid of this treacherous minister, the Great Chu will perish!"
The girl sitting in the pavilion had her face blurred in the darkness, but every word she spoke was powerful.
It was as if there were clusters of blazing flames burning deep in her heart.
Just to push back the darkness and bring light.
The Imperial Censor was inexplicably touched.
Seeing that the old man with gray hair had begun to hesitate, Lu Xiaohuo continued:
"Lord Mu, General Jiang has always wanted to bring you down so that he can completely control the government."
"Lan Yue had just entered the palace not long before he sent Jiang Lianxue into the palace, determined to get her pregnant with the royal heir first. He deserves death."
When it came to Lan Yue, the Imperial Censor's face turned cold. He naturally knew that Commander Jiang disliked him.
He was also fed up with the other party's hypocritical and arrogant old face.
Besides, he only has Lan Yue as his daughter.
What if the Queen Mother attacks Lan Yue because of his non-cooperation...
As if guessing his worry, the calm voice was filled with a smile.
"Whether Lord Mu agrees or not, I will only protect Lan Yue."
"Lan Yue is a good girl."
The shy little heroine is so cute!
Not knowing that Lu Cha was thinking about his precious daughter, the Imperial Censor looked up to her.
The Queen Mother is broad-minded, does not threaten others with her family, and has been able to endure for so long. She is someone who can accomplish great things.
No wonder he was entrusted with such an important task by the late emperor.
The Imperial Censor bowed and saluted:
"Your Majesty, I obey your command."
Lu Cha gave Jin Yu a look.
The latter immediately invited Mulanyue, who was hiding behind the rockery, to come out.
"Lan Yue?"
The Imperial Censor looked at Lu Cha in confusion: "Empress Dowager, why is my daughter here?"
"I want to cooperate with Master Mu. As your only daughter, Lan Yue should know about this."
Mulanyue was in a complicated mood.
Tonight, she received the Phoenix Seal and heard the conversation between the Queen Mother and her father. The impact on her was really too great.
But it is undeniable that if she wants the position of queen, relying on her father alone cannot completely eradicate the Jiang family.
Only by joining forces can we achieve peace.
What's more, the Queen Mother has helped her several times, and she cannot forget this kindness.
Mulan Yue did not perform the Wanfu ceremony as before, but instead imitated her father and bowed, performing the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects:
"Lan Yue, support the Queen Mother with father."
Lu Cha was happy.
The little heroine is finally in the same boat with her!
"At today's banquet, I saw that you didn't eat much, so I asked Jinyu to prepare some food."
"The evening breeze is cool, take it back to the palace and eat it."
Lu Cha handed the food box to Mulan Yue, her brows softened: "You and I are of similar age. When there are no outsiders around, you can call me sister."
"Thank you, sister, Lanyue." Mulanyue took it with a blush.
Since the Imperial Censor was still here, Lu Cha could only resist the urge to touch Mulanyue's little face. After giving her a few instructions, he took Jinyu away.
The Imperial Censor stroked his graying beard and glanced at the food box meaningfully:
"The Queen Mother understands people's hearts very well."
Such small details can easily impress people.
Mulanyue gently opened the lid of the food box in her hand. The food inside was still steaming. She smiled gently:
"But the Queen Mother has never harmed her daughter."
Anyway, she doesn't love the emperor.
All she wants is the position of queen.
-
The sleeping hall of the Cining Palace.
Because Lu Cha had no habit of having anyone keep watch at night, Jin Yu changed her clothes and then left with the other palace maids, leaving only one palace lantern for lighting.
Lu Cha was lying comfortably in the warm bed, but she heard the hesitant voice of the system:
[In the original plot, was there any mention of the emperor's instructions? ]
He almost tore the book apart but still couldn't find that paragraph.
“Oh, I made that up.”
system:"......"
You are the King of Hell issuing a notice - you are talking nonsense!
The candlelight in the palace lantern hanging not far from the bed suddenly flickered.
Sensing someone approaching, Lu Cha quickly pulled out the dagger hidden under the jade pillow and stabbed at the dark shadow outside the bed curtain.
Then he immediately stood up and pushed hard, causing the dagger to completely penetrate the opponent's chest.
The masked man in black froze, perhaps not expecting her to have a knife, or because of her clean and quick movements, but he stumbled back.
Almost at the same time, Lu Cha pulled out the dagger, slashed it across the black-clothed man's neck, and finally inserted it back into his exposed eye.
Blood splattered.
Looking at the surprise in the other intact narrow and long phoenix eye of the man in black, Lu Cha narrowed his eyes suspiciously.
Why does it feel a little familiar?
[Oh, because he's a villain.] The system said nonchalantly, using the same tone that Lucha had used when answering it just now.
“?!”
This is something I didn’t expect!
Lu Cha immediately let go of the knife.
Ming Yan fell to the ground, barely breathing.
Why does the villain disguise himself as an assassin? ! ! !
What now???
The system was about to ask Lu Cha to save people, but it saw its own host ruthlessly pull out the dagger that was stuck in Ming Yan's right eye and stab it into his chest again.
【What are you doing? ! ! ! 】
Lu Cha said seriously, "The little villain lost one eye and I cut his throat. Even if I could save him, he would still hate me."
[So you killed him and wanted to turn back time?]
"You are so smart."
“…”
Without waiting for Lu Cha to experience the feeling of stabbing the villain again, the system directly went back in time to express its protest.
A flash of white light.
Lu Cha returned to the time when he wanted to pull out the dagger from under his pillow.
This time, she let go of the dagger and looked at the dark shadow outside the bed curtain in fear, tears welling up in her eyes:
“There’s an assassin!!!”
