Chapter 228: The Irritable Queen Mother vs. the Cold Imperial Master (11)
Mulan Yue said calmly, "As the daughter of the Imperial Censor, it is impossible for me to steal the golden hairpin from Concubine Wan."
"If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can send someone to search my palace."
As soon as she finished speaking, a sweet voice sounded:
"Mu Jieyu doesn't need to prove herself."
"Since Wanpin accused you of stealing, she should produce relevant evidence to prove it. Otherwise, it would be slander."
Seeing Lu Cha coming towards her with a smile on her face, Wanpin felt both afraid and resentful.
Why is it that every time she teaches Mulanyue a lesson, she always runs into that bitch Jiang Lucha?!
She pretended to be calm and said, "My maid saw it with her own eyes."
Wanpin's personal maid nodded timidly:
"Your Majesty, I saw Concubine Mu sneaking into my Madam's bedroom half an hour ago."
"Not only did they steal the golden hairpin that the Emperor had given her, but they also stole a jade bracelet, a relic left to her by her mother."
Lu Cha was very curious: "Then why didn't you stop it?"
The maid choked and avoided Lu Cha's gaze guiltily: "I didn't react at the time, and when I came to my senses, Concubine Mu had already run away."
"Like this—"
Lucha smiled meaningfully, and suddenly changed the subject:
"Come here! Wanpin poisoned my cakes a few days ago and murdered me. How cruel! I stripped her of her title as a concubine and banished her to the cold palace. I'm also giving her three feet of white silk!"
Jin Yu immediately ordered someone to hold down Wanpin.
Wanpin was stunned: "Empress Dowager! You are slandering me! I have never harmed you!"
"My words are evidence."
Lu Cha said nonchalantly, "Didn't Wanpin just rely on her words to convict Concubine Mu?"
"Why are you unwilling when it's your turn?"
"That's different!" Wanpin, who was pinned to the ground by the palace maid, saw that she couldn't break free and knew that Lucha was serious. She shouted in desperation:
"I just served you in bed two days ago! Maybe I'm pregnant with the emperor's heir now! Queen Mother, you can't kill me!"
Jiang Lucha had no evidence that she had drugged him, so as long as she refused to admit it, she could escape this disaster!
But Wanpin forgot that the current empress dowager was moody and never needed a reason for doing anything.
Lu Cha glanced at Wanpin's abdomen in surprise.
Wanpin was sick but still served the emperor in bed...
The male lead has a strong taste!
"Then hand Concubine Wan over to the Emperor for his punishment. Give her poisoned wine or white silk."
Choose one of the two and see how thoughtful she is!
Wanpin was stunned.
Who doesn't know that the emperor only obeys the empress dowager's orders? Jiang Lucha's words directly determined her death.
When Wanpin wanted to speak up for herself, she was covered with her mouth by a palace maid and dragged away.
Mulanyue, on the other hand, looked at the girl in gorgeous clothes in front of her calmly.
In her previous life, she had met this young empress dowager once.
The other party not only comforted her when she was sad, but also had dinner with her. He was very easy to get along with and was not as bad as the rumors said.
Mulanyue leaned down slightly:
"Lan Yue thanks the Queen Mother for her protection today."
"To put it simply, you've helped Lan Yue twice."
Once was a coincidence, but what about twice?
Having been murdered once, it was hard for Mulanyue not to suspect whether Concubine Wan was instructed by the Empress Dowager.
But why did the Queen Mother go to so much trouble to do this?
Want to win over her father?
Lu Cha waved his hand to signal Mulan Yue to stand up, and said seriously: "I just have a connection with you."
Although she said so, the girl's bright eyes were full of admiration and love, which inexplicably made Mulanyue feel like she was some kind of exquisite porcelain.
She lowered her head unconsciously, her cheeks flushed lightly.
The Queen Mother's eyes were so strange.
Looking at the shy Mulanyue, who had no hostility towards her, Lu Cha felt relieved.
It seems that she was right to go to the Imperial Garden to look for the little heroine!
The little heroine will only hate Wanpin, not her~
Mulanyue glanced at the carriage parked in the distance, and realized that Lucha was about to leave the palace, so she spoke tactfully:
"It's getting late, Queen Mother, please be careful on your journey. Lan Yue will not stay to disturb you."
After saying that, Mulanyue bowed and left.
Lu Cha was reluctant to leave.
Look! The little heroine's slender figure!
I just regret that I’m not the emperor!
Lu Cha sighed sadly and was about to help Jin Yu back to the carriage when he suddenly caught a glimpse of white, like a light cloud in the sky, falling into the earth.
Oh no!
Little villain!
Ming Yan stood among the flowers, holding an exquisite wooden box, with a cold and silent look in her narrow phoenix eyes.
The little fox was sleepy, which gave him just enough time to go to the palace and deliver the medicine.
I never expected to see the Queen Mother and a woman talking and laughing in the corridor.
Looking at Lu Cha's bright little face, especially her pair of watery almond eyes, which were filled with surprise and seemed very happy to see him, Ming Yan frowned slightly.
Unexpectedly, he didn't feel as disgusted with her as he did a few days ago.
Perhaps, it was because her eyes were as clear as those of a little fox?
"Is the Imperial Master here to deliver medicine to me?"
Ming Yan nodded slightly, put the wooden box on the ground and asked Jin Yu to pick it up.
The white jade porcelain cup was still filled with warm medicine.
"Did Her Majesty take the medicine I sent you yesterday while it was still hot?"
Jin Yu froze.
The Queen Mother was late in waking up yesterday, and the medicine had already gone cold, but she didn't dare to move it. This morning, she followed the Queen Mother's instructions and poured it into the flowerpot.
Lucha said obediently, "Already drinking it while it's hot."
Jin Yu pursed her lips silently.
We must never undermine our own empress dowager!
To avoid Ming Yan asking more questions, Lu Cha glanced at the porcelain cup held by Jin Yu and changed the subject:
"My hands hurt, and Jinyu is clumsy and can't take good care of me. Would the Imperial Master be willing to feed me?"
The girl spoke softly, as if she was acting coquettishly.
Ming Yan remained indifferent: "I have never served anyone before, so it is inevitable that I might accidentally hurt the Queen Mother."
"Besides, there are differences between men and women."
"The Queen Mother can find other palace maids."
[Ding—Villain's favorability -5.]
“…”
Lu Cha was obedient, picked up the porcelain cup and drank it all in one gulp.
Ming Yan's eyes flickered when he noticed that the girl was holding the porcelain cup in both hands and licked her tender pink lips after drinking it.
The Queen Mother's little movements are very similar to a little fox eating pastries.
