Chapter 258: The Irritable Queen Mother vs. the Cold Imperial Master (41)
Chu Yixiao didn't call himself "I" or "son minister", and he called Lu Cha's name affectionately: "Cha Cha, I know you hate me for lying to you."
"But at that time, I was just the third prince. If I didn't fight hard for the throne, I would be killed by the other princes."
At this point, Chu Yixiao sighed deliberately: "In the past few months, I have often been unable to sleep because of the guilt I feel about this matter."
"I'm sorry, Cha Cha. I owe you an apology."
"I'm not asking you to forgive me, but considering that we once loved each other, can you please help me this time?"
"As long as you tell the ministers that you stole Meihuahan just to frame me, I promise that you will always be the queen mother."
Chu Yixiao looked at Lu Cha affectionately, thinking that the other party still had feelings for him.
This was the quickest way he could think of to shut up all the officials.
Otherwise, if this matter gets out of the palace, no matter whether the Queen Mother is his biological mother or not, the mere fact of being unfilial will be enough to make him lose his position on the throne.
Lu Cha curled her red lips slightly, mockingly saying, "Why should I help you?"
Chu Yixiao’s deception was the last straw that broke the camel’s back for the original owner.
It was clearly he who mistook the original owner for Jiang Lianxue, but it was the original owner who took the blame.
The stimulated darkening, which was pent up in the heart, further dragged down the body.
"Furthermore, the Emperor, feeling guilty, was behind this, working with General Jiang to incite the people and slander me as the murderer of the Ming couple?"
After General Jiang died, Li Yuanfan found out that the rumors circulating in the community were also the work of Chu Yixiao.
Lucha suddenly laughed strangely:
"The Emperor is doing this because he's afraid that the Imperial Preceptor will come after you to avenge his father."
That year, when General Jiang went to see Ming's father to discuss cooperation, Chu Yixiao happened to go to Ming's mansion as well.
If Chu Yixiao wants to gain the support of the people and ascend the throne, he must win over his father Ming, who is supported by the people.
As a result, Chu Yixiao accidentally overheard the conversation between General Jiang and Ming's father in the study.
But he pretended to be ignorant of the matter. After being rejected by Ming's father, he used this matter to threaten General Jiang and reached a deal with the other party.
This is why General Jiang forged the will and chose Chu Yixiao to succeed him, just because he was afraid that the matter would be exposed and leave a bad reputation.
The reason why General Jiang knew that Ming's mother was recuperating in the countryside was because Chu Yixiao revealed the information.
Unexpectedly, after Ming's mother fell off a cliff and died, Ming's father was the first to find out that this matter was related to Chu Yixiao.
So, Ming's father came to question him. Chu Yixiao was worried that he would be implicated by General Jiang and affect his succession to the throne. He lost control for a moment and killed Ming's father. He also pretended that the other party committed suicide and followed Ming's mother.
Chu Yixiao did not tell this to General Jiang, choosing to keep it in his heart.
Until he ascended the throne later, Chu Yixiao began to deceive Ming Yan again, pretending to have found survivors in the village and asked Ming Yan to help him poison the original owner and overthrow the Jiang family.
Lu Cha sighed softly, "What would happen if the Imperial Master knew the truth?"
Chu Yixiao suddenly froze.
Although Ming Yan didn't have much affection for Mr. Ming, he had deceived him for so long, and given Ming Yan's personality, he would definitely kill him.
Why did Jiang Lucha know what happened back then?!
Chu Yixiao felt as if there were countless flies flying around his ears, disturbing him and making him feel upset.
Chu Yixiao stood up hurriedly and wanted to leave, but was held down by Jin Yu when he was about to leave the hall.
"You bold maid! Why don't you let me go?!"
"Your Majesty has no respect for his elders and calls me by my name. You have no sense of etiquette. As your mother, I naturally have to teach you a lesson." Lu Cha clapped her hands in a bad tone.
The old lady standing not far away came over with her back bent, a little hesitant to take action.
After all, the person in front of him is the current emperor, whose status is higher than that of General Jiang!
Lu Cha thoughtfully asked Jin Yu to hand the old lady a wooden stick and said, "Use this to hit her."
"I will protect you."
When the old nanny heard this, she skillfully rolled up her sleeves and hit Chu Yixiao on the shoulder with a wooden stick, exactly where he was injured.
Chu Yixiao screamed immediately and tried to break free from Jin Yu's grip, but two strong eunuchs came to hold him down.
"Do you want to be executed?!"
However, the people in Cining Palace only obeyed Lu Cha and did not care about Chu Yixiao's shouting words at all.
Especially since Chu Yixiao was still a puppet emperor, they could certainly tell what was more important.
Chu Yixiao was so angry that his eyes were about to burst: "Mother! Do you want to completely break off relations with your son?!"
Lu Cha was bewildered: "Have I ever been good to you?"
Chu Yixiao choked.
Mulanyue happened to come over at this time, and Chu Yixiao's anger was immediately fueled. He didn't even care about beating his old nanny, and shouted:
"Why did you betray me?!"
How had he wronged Mulanyue? She actually wanted to join forces with Jiang Lucha to deal with him!
Mulanyue's eyes were cold: "I have never stood on the emperor's side, how can I betray him?"
Chu Yixiao was stunned.
Was she lying to herself about everything that happened before?!
"You bitch!"
Chu Yixiao struggled to hit Mulanyue, but was hit on the shoulder again.
Lu Cha, who had taken the stick at some point, said seriously, "How could the Emperor insult Concubine Lan?"
Her little heroine is so cute!
"You!" Knowing that he couldn't resist Lu Cha now, Chu Yixiao suppressed his unwillingness, his eyes filled with deep hatred, and he gritted his teeth:
"It's my son. I was too excited. Please forgive me, mother."
Lu Cha couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
So patient!
She waved her hand to signal the palace servants to let Chu Yixiao go.
After paying his respects to Lu Cha, Chu Yixiao limped away.
"The Queen Mother shouldn't let the Emperor off so easily." Mulan Yue couldn't hide her worry:
"The Emperor is vindictive, even if he has no power. What if he wants to fight to the death?"
"I hope so." Lu Cha threw away the stick.
One of the original owner's wishes was to make Chu Yixiao pay the price.
Poisoning alone is not enough to dethrone him.
However, what happened just now should have made Chu Yixiao anxious.
Lu Cha licked his lips lightly, his eyes glittering with cunning.

At the same time, in the study of the Imperial Master's Mansion.
Ming Yan read the notes over and over again, but could not find a solution.
It’s just because there is too little information recorded about the dream that lasts for a hundred days.
There is no problem with the antidote. Is it because the Queen Mother is too weak to absorb it?
Ming Yan couldn't figure out the reason, so he finally called Zhuo Xuan who was waiting outside and said, "Go boil the medicine."
He wants to test the poison himself.
As Zhuo Xuan took the order and left, a servant came in and reported: "Sir, the emperor is here and wants to see you."
