Chapter 154: The Lame Princess vs. the Blind Hostage Prince Consort (31)
Yuan Ting had a bad feeling and avoided Lu Cha's words, frowning and scolding:
"Anping, you are so unruly now. You even dared to bring people into the imperial study!"
"Aren't you curious about what's inside?"
Lu Cha gave Lingying a look.
The latter untied the sack with understanding.
When he saw the woman with disheveled hair and a dark blue blood-stained dress, Yuan Ting's pupils suddenly constricted, and he couldn't help but use anger to cover up his panic:
"Asshole! What did you do to Concubine Lan?!"
"Oh~ I got the wrong one. This is Concubine Lan's maid." Lu Cha quickly signaled Lingying to go outside and exchange her. Her little face was innocent, but her eyes flashed with evil.
"Princess Lan got her dress dirty at home, so I asked her to change with a palace maid."
"My Royal Brother was able to recognize Concubine Lan just by her clothes. Their feelings for her are truly profound."
Yuan Ting gritted his teeth in anger.
It was obvious that she was deliberately teasing him!
And Lingying threw it back into a sack.
It revealed Luo Zelan, who was tied up and covered with bruises.
With a rag stuffed in his mouth and excruciating pain on his body, Luo Zelan was unable to speak. He could only lie weakly on the ground, looking at Yuan Ting with tears in his eyes.
The emperor is in the same boat with her and will definitely save her.
Yuan Ting wished he could kill Luo Zelan with one sword.
waste!
I swore that the plan was fine! What happened?!
Being dragged here like a dead dog! Maybe Yuan Lucha would find out something!
But he still had to continue this drama! He couldn't be exposed!
Fortunately, he had beaten Luo Zelan before, and she had the poison he had put in her body, so he didn't have to worry about her betraying him.
At worst, just give up this chess piece.
Yuan Ting quickly thought of a countermeasure, took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and asked in a cold voice:
"Anping! Why did you do such a cruel thing to Concubine Lan? Let her go!"
"Princess Lan poisoned me and tried to steal my military token. I've sent someone to ask Elder Ye to investigate." Lu Cha asked Lingying to take out the porcelain box and incense burner.
"When these two are mixed together, they become extremely poisonous."
"If you don't believe me, you can try it yourself."
Lu Cha took out the dagger from his sleeve and said seriously: "I don't mind helping my brother."
She cuts quickly! She has experience!
Yuan Ting's face darkened: "Nonsense!"
"I will severely punish this evil woman, Concubine Lan. Put the knife away!"
Luo Zelan was stunned.
Your Majesty, are you going to abandon her?!
But Lu Cha didn't do so, smiling sweetly: "Royal brother, this is about the military order. I suspect that Concubine Lan has someone behind the scenes, why not torture her?"
"If traitors take advantage of the situation and invade, won't Yuanchang be in danger?"
Before Yuan Ting could react to what Lu Cha was about to do, Luo Zelan, who was lying on the ground, suddenly twitched violently.
As the rag was taken away, screams like a pig being slaughtered echoed in the imperial study:
“Ahhhhh!!!”
Lu Cha thrust the dagger fiercely into Luo Zelan's knee and stirred it slowly, faintly hearing the strange snapping sound of the knife tip rubbing against the bone.
The blood trickled down, quickly soaking Luo Zelan's skirt red.
Lu Cha raised her red lips wantonly, her voice soft and sticky, as if she was coquettishly negotiating with someone:
"Princess Lan, if you can tell me who ordered you to do this, I will spare your life."
Luo Zelan looked at the girl with a sweet smile in fear.
The pain that spread fiercely from the knee throughout the body was like a ferocious beast tearing his flesh and blood with its sharp fangs.
Devil...she is a devil!
Luo Zelan, who had never suffered such torture before, opened his dry lips and uttered trembling words: "Yes, it's the emperor..."
"How dare you!" Yuan Ting slammed the table in panic and shouted angrily, "Luo Zelan, how dare you sow discord between me and my sister!"
"Someone! Throw her into the Heavenly Prison! Execute her by slow slicing!"
Without waiting for Luo Zelan to explain, the eunuch immediately covered her mouth and dragged her out of the imperial study.
Yuan Ting clenched his fists, trying his best to remain calm, and deliberately scolded Luo Zelan:
"This vicious woman! She's clearly resentful that I didn't give her the position of Imperial Concubine! She's seeking revenge!"
"Anping, don't believe her lies. I am your brother, how could I want to harm you?"
"I love you the most."
Lu Cha's eyebrows curved, revealing sarcasm: "Back then, my royal brother said the same thing."
In the original plot, Yuan Ting was not assassinated on the day the late emperor passed away.
Just because he was afraid of being unable to quell the war and being criticized by the people, he directed and acted in a play, intending to secretly cede land and withdraw his troops.
Unexpectedly, the original owner went to the battlefield and not only boosted morale, but also won a great victory.
Yuan Ting discovered the original owner's value and coaxed her to stay in the border area.
Unexpectedly, the original owner became famous and popular among the people.
There are even rumors that the original owner is worthy of sitting on the dragon throne.
Yuan Ting was jealous and panicked, fearing that his throne would be in jeopardy, so he secretly ordered people to spread rumors to destroy the original woman's reputation, and sent assassins to assassinate her on her way back to Beijing.
The original owner escaped the disaster by luck, but his legs were almost crippled.
But in order to preserve the relationship between brother and sister, even after finding out everything, he chose to play dumb.
Yuan Ting's repeated calls of "royal brother" made the original owner willingly eat the honey that contained knives.
Lu Cha sarcastically put away the dagger and licked his lips gently. The excitement in his eyes was still there, sparkling and terrifying.
"Brother, my legs have been hurting all the time."
Yuan Ting's heart trembled violently.
A chill spread down my spine, and I couldn't stop feeling anxious.
Why did Yuan Lucha say that?! Did she discover something?!
Yuan Ting's face paled slightly, and he forced a smile:
"Then Anping, go to the Imperial Hospital and get more rest and take good care of yourself."
"I haven't finished reviewing the memorials yet. Go check them first and don't make me worry."
Lu Cha smiled softly, but her voice was even colder and more eerie, like the low murmur of a female ghost at midnight:
"Brother Emperor, please take care of your health~"
Seeing Yuan Ting tremble obviously, Lu Cha's eyes became cunning.
Scare you to death, you bastard!
Watching the extremely abnormal woman moving her wheelchair away, Yuan Ting's eyes were cold and the veins on his forehead were throbbing slightly.
Yuan Lucha definitely knows about the assassin!
What if she revealed what she had done...
The image of a benevolent and magnanimous ruler that he painstakingly maintained would surely collapse and lead to condemnation!
A fierce and murderous light flashed in Yuan Ting's eyes.
You forced me to do this!
-
The hour of Hai.
Yuanjuzhai, a quiet private room.
Xun Ji leaned lazily in the chair, stroking the ebony cane with gold thread in his hand.
And Xi Hanfeng sat opposite.
The tea in the cup was gone, and the conversation was obviously over.
"I will proceed according to your plan, but..." Xi Hanfeng paused and said jokingly:
"Aren't you afraid that the princess will hate you?"
Xun Ji pretended not to hear anything and slowly stood up. A hint of madness flashed in his peach blossom eyes behind the ribbon.
His fingertips clenched the slightly cool cane.
It was as if the prey was firmly pressed under the palm.
He just wants her.
