Chapter 252: Outrageous Situation

Chu Lu couldn't help but complain, "First there's a psychotic eldest princess who's reborn to seek revenge, then there's a brainless second princess who dares to threaten the emperor. These heroines come one after another. How many heroines are there here?"

Qin Su said at this time: "If nothing unexpected happens, there should be only these three."

"Why?" Chu Lu asked curiously when he saw Qin Su so confident.

"Because it's different from the last Xianxia copy." Qin Su explained, "The worldview of the fictional history is relatively rigorous, and the social structure and power system are all constrained by common sense. It's not like the Xianxia world where you can expand the map size at will. In theory, the story lines of multiple 'big heroines' can easily lead to violent conflicts due to competition for limited resources and influencing key figures, which will eventually lead to the inability of everyone's plot to proceed smoothly, so three is enough."

"I see." Chu Lu nodded.

However, just when he felt relieved, there was a sudden noise outside the study.

All I heard was a burst of hurried footsteps approaching, accompanied by the eunuchs' shrill and panicked cries and voices of trying to stop them.

"Second Princess! Second Princess, slow down!"

"Your Majesty is handling government affairs. You can't just barge in like this!"

"Ouch! Second Princess, you have to let me inform them, this is against the rules..."

"You...please don't push me!"

Amid the noise, a very arrogant female voice suddenly rang out, drowning out everyone else's voices: "Get out of here!"

"boom!"

There was a dull thud, as if someone was pushed to the ground.

Then, the door of the study was roughly pushed open from the outside, and a tall woman in a bright red palace dress rushed in.

The woman had a gorgeous appearance, with a charming and flamboyant look between her eyebrows, which was completely different from the temperament of the previous two princesses.

As soon as she came in, her eyes were fixed on Chu Lu behind the imperial desk. Without saying a word, she picked up a blue and white porcelain vase on the table next to her and smashed it towards Chu Lu!
"call--!"

The porcelain vase flew past Chu Lu's cheek with a strong wind, and hit the bookshelf behind him heavily, breaking into pieces!

A sharp and bright piece of porcelain, as if given life, accurately scratched Chu Lu's slightly tilted neck, leaving a tiny but painful line of blood.

Chu Lu subconsciously touched his neck and felt a warm and moist touch on his fingertips.

The palace maids and eunuchs outside heard the noise inside and realized something was wrong. They were about to rush in screaming, but were stopped by the woman in red.

She turned around and faced the door, with a charming and strange smile on her face: "I am just joking with my father, why are you making such a fuss? Wait outside and don't come in!"

After saying that, she turned back, her charming peach blossom eyes staring at the bloodstain on Chu Lu's neck with interest. She walked gracefully, her skirt brushing against the broken porcelain pieces scattered on the ground, and slowly walked to the imperial desk.

She stretched out her slender jade fingers, her fingertips were cold, and gently touched the wound on Chu Lu's neck, but her tone was filled with a creepy pity: "Oh, father, does it hurt? It's all my fault that my hand slipped."

Chu Lu looked at her, and immediately had a guess in his mind, and asked in a deep voice: "What do you want to do?"

"Of course I'm here to visit my dear father." The second princess smiled more and more ostentatiously, but her fingertips deliberately pressed lightly on the tiny wound, causing a sharp pain.

She moved closer, her breath sweet as orchid, but her eyes were filled with an almost morbid fanaticism and contempt.

"Father, I really envy you." She said quietly, her voice was gentle, but the content was chilling, "You were born with dragon blood and phoenix marrow, a man, this supreme position is within your reach, you don't need to spend so much effort to fight for it like I did."

Then she changed the subject, her tone becoming full of contempt and disdain: "But look at you now! The enemy countries around you are eyeing you covetously, the barbarians in the north are sharpening their knives, and the Rongdi in the west are ready to make a move, but you only know how to be incompetent and give in! The great country that our ancestors conquered is about to be lost in your hands!"

Her eyes fell on Chu Lu's face, with undisguised contempt and pity: "Could it be that, father, you really intend to drink poison to quench your thirst, marry the daughter of that treacherous prime minister, win over that old fox, and stabilize your shaky government?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk," she shook her head, as if looking at something pitiful, "Father, oh father, I really pity you. You are the Son of Heaven, but you have to sell your body to keep your throne. This is really... unheard of, the most ridiculous thing in the world!"

Faced with this veiled and sarcastic humiliation, Chu Lu did not get angry.

Because he had confirmed his guess in his heart, he felt more numb than angry.

He looked at her expressionlessly, and once again, in an almost routine tone, asked: "Are you done? What do you want to do?"

Seeing that Chu Lu didn't dare to talk back despite being mocked by her, the smile on the second princess's face suddenly became more intense, arrogant and presumptuous.

"It's very simple." She slammed the imperial desk, leaned forward, and stared at Chu Lu with burning eyes. "Since you are incompetent, don't drag down the royal family like us. Hand over the tiger talisman. In this chaotic world, I, your son, will share your worries!"

Tiger Tally?

Chu Lu frowned slightly.

How would he know what a tiger talisman was? But judging from the other party's attitude, it was clear that they would not give up unless he handed over something.

After experiencing two strong female protagonists in succession, he felt extremely annoyed and really didn't want to talk nonsense with her anymore.

He turned his head and looked around the imperial desk, finally landing on the half-dry cotton towel beside the table leg that was used to wipe feet.

An absurd idea suddenly popped up in my mind.

He reached out expressionlessly and took off the slightly damp footcloth that exuded a faint smell of medicine, handed it to her and said, "Here, this is the tiger talisman."

The second princess looked at the cloth and was stunned.

But after just a moment of surprise, an even more fanatical light burst out from her eyes!

She stretched out her hand tremblingly and grabbed the footcloth, as if she was holding some priceless treasure. She put the cloth to her nose and took a deep breath, with an intoxicated, almost crazy expression on her face.

She bit the edge of the foot cloth, closed her eyes in extreme satisfaction, and murmured to herself: "Yes... this is the taste... the taste of power... the taste of supremacy... I really can't understand, how can there be someone in this world who doesn't like this taste?"

After being intoxicated for a moment, she suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes were as sharp as a knife, staring at Chu Lu, and a cold and dangerous arc appeared at the corner of her mouth: "However, father, there is one thing, I want to remind you--"

"Please, don't block my way!"

After saying this, she carefully put the footcloth into her arms, then turned around triumphantly and haughtily, and walked away laughing in the horrified gazes of the eunuchs and palace maids.

"..."

Chu Lu sat behind the imperial desk, looking at the broken porcelain pieces scattered on the ground, touched the wound on his neck that was still aching, and recalled the crazy look of the woman holding the foot cloth as if it were a treasure. He felt dizzy.

He was silent for a long time, and then he asked Qin Su a soul-searching question in a very weak tone: "She is also the heroine, right?"

Qin Su's voice was also very weak: "...Yes."

“……”Chu Lu could no longer sit still.

He stood up suddenly from the chair, and the huge movement knocked over the pen holder next to him, the brushes scattered all over the floor, and the ink spilled everywhere, but he didn't care.

He walked out of the study quickly.

"What are you doing?" Qin Su's voice sounded in his mind.

"What?" Chu Lu kept walking, his face full of annoyance, "What else can I do? Of course I have to check it out! Now! Immediately! Check it out clearly!"

He said word by word in his mind: "I want to see how many big! mistresses are hiding in this damn place!"

That night.

The moon was as cool as water, and the silent palace was shrouded in the deep night.

Chu Lu dragged his exhausted body and returned to the emperor's bedroom, Qian'an Palace, with unsteady steps.

He dismissed all the palace servants and sat alone in the empty and cold palace, his face filled with deep despair and... confusion.

Just this afternoon, after experiencing a series of attacks from three "suspected" princesses, Chu Lu began a comprehensive investigation with the determination to "turn the palace upside down."

Since the first three he met were princesses, he instinctively felt that this identity seemed more likely to cause problems. So, he suppressed his irritation and, in the name of the emperor, met all the princesses in the palace, whether they were of marriageable age or not, whether they were favored or not, whether they were born of legitimate or illegitimate children.

Unexpectedly, after some careful probing, the remaining princesses actually behaved... quite normally. They might be arrogant, docile, or mediocre, but at least, no one jumped out to call him "biological daddy", no one threatened to start a war, and no one held the foot towel and shouted "the taste of power".

This result made Chu Lu's tense nerves relax a little. He even had an illusion for a while: Maybe... maybe there are really only those three weirdos? Qin Su's judgment is still reasonable? This world has its "upper limit" after all?

However, this brief peace of mind only lasted until he began to come into contact with the concubines in the harem.

First, he summoned Concubine Wan. This Concubine looked pitiful and delicate, with a pair of watery eyes that seemed ready to shed tears at any time. Chu Lu had just said a polite remark, and before he had time to probe further, the other party's voice rang in his mind.

"What is the dog emperor going crazy about?"

"He just called someone here to play with him when he had nothing better to do. He really deserves to be bitten by Da Huang."

"Dog emperor, dog emperor, dog emperor! I curse you to death."

Chu Lu: “?”

Next, it was Concubine Li. As soon as this concubine saw Chu Lu, she got straight to the point, looked at him with a firm look that said, "I know all your secrets," and said bluntly, "Your Majesty, I am the 108th generation descendant of Yaowang Valley. I already know that you have a hidden illness and a weak dragon body, which leads to impotence. But don't worry, Your Majesty, this minor illness is easy for me to cure. I only need three doses of medicine, and I guarantee that Your Majesty will regain his virility and enjoy life every night! But, there is no free lunch in this world~~"

Chu Lu: “???”

Then, there was Concubine Zhuang. This concubine was recognized as the most beautiful woman in the harem. She was so beautiful that she didn't look like a mortal. Her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, her skin was white as snow, her temperament was ethereal, and her every frown and smile was soul-stirring. At first glance, there seemed to be nothing wrong with her, except that she was a little too beautiful. However, Chu Lu was cautious and asked about it privately. The news he got was: When Concubine Zhuang first entered the palace, she was said to be extremely ugly - with a flat nose, pockmarked face, dark skin, short legs and thick waist. She was forced into the palace as a political deal. But since some time, she suddenly changed and became the fairy-like appearance she is now.

Then, faced with such a big change, her explanation was - "I didn't grow up before, but now I have grown up." "I just learned how to put on makeup." "The palace has a good environment, good food, and it can support people."

Chu Lu: “???”

After that, it was Consort Xian. After Chu Lu had come into contact with many monsters, Consort Xian was the only woman who looked, sounded, and felt completely normal. She was dignified and respectful, neither flattering nor distant, and her attitude towards Chu Lu was the standard of a subject's wife towards the king. Chu Lu thought he had finally met a normal person.

As a result, he subconsciously let down his guard and his attitude became a little gentler and more enthusiastic.

But I never expected that just this slight change would cause the other party to turn against me.

Her face suddenly changed, and her eyes instantly became extremely alert and disgusted, as if Chu Lu was some kind of monster. She took a step back and refused righteously, "Your Majesty, please respect yourself! I don't want to sleep with you!"

Chu Lu suddenly felt something was wrong and immediately asked for the reason.

As a result, she began to accuse him confidently: "Your Majesty! You indulge in beauty every day, linger in the flowers every night, and crawl from one woman's bed to that woman's bed. Don't you think you are dirty?! I think! I think it's dirty! I don't want to touch you. Please find someone else to sleep with you!"

After saying this, Concubine Xian covered her chest as if she was afraid of being defiled by Chu Lu, glared at him as if he were trash, and then left quickly without looking back.

Chu Lu: “???”

After a rough check of the palace, Chu Lu, who was exhausted physically and mentally, still felt uneasy, thinking that there might be a big heroine outside the palace. But he couldn't go incognito, so he could only let his maids and eunuchs do it, and let them gather and report all the unusual things in the whole capital.

As a result, in just half a day, he received a lot of suspicious information.

For example, in the mansion of a prince who was imprisoned for treason, although the mansion had been sealed off and heavily guarded, there was a country girl who was said to be pretending to be a princess, and she was openly cultivating vegetable fields and planting flowers and grass in the backyard of the mansion. It was said that she used these to feed the remaining elderly, weak, women and children in the mansion...

For example, the prime minister of the current dynasty was a humble man when he was young. He attended a banquet for the rich and powerful and happened to rescue a daughter of an official who had fallen into the water. Later, he married this daughter under pressure. After many years of marriage, the prime minister's wife has been law-abiding, taking care of her husband and children, and is a typical good wife. But not long ago, this lady was stimulated by something and suddenly changed her temperament. She changed her low-key style and began to frequently go to various social places. Her dress and appearance also became extremely... bold and exposed, attracting bees and butterflies everywhere, showing off her charm, and even showing signs of interfering in government affairs, causing a storm in the capital...

Also, the Zhenbei Palace was wiped out by spies from the enemy country, and only a young daughter survived because she married a young general early. She endured the grief and took on the responsibility of being a mistress, managing her husband's family compound in an orderly manner, and even took out her own dowry to supplement the household expenses. It can be said that she was a perfect daughter-in-law. But unexpectedly, when the general returned triumphantly, was awarded a title and became a general, he suddenly proposed to divorce his wife and marry the female general who followed him to fight everywhere...

And so on, and so on, such abnormal intelligence, one after another, one after another, densely packed with Chu Lu's imperial desk. Each case taken out alone is a novel with a heroine. And now, they are all concentrated in this small palace and the capital!

Chu Lu looked at the pile of secret reports in front of him and felt his scalp tingling and his vision going dark.

He was completely shocked.

He couldn't help but complain in his mind: "Isn't it possible that there are more heroines in this copy than all the famous characters in the original male-oriented historical novel?! What the hell is going on?!"

"Qin Su!" Chu Lu called out in his heart in a tone that was almost broken, "What on earth is going on?! Explain it to me!!"

Qin Su was obviously also shocked by the outrageous number and chaotic situation. Her voice was filled with unprecedented confusion and shock as she murmured to herself: "I... I can't figure it out... how could it be like this? So many... so many heroines... No, some of them don't seem to be heroines, but that's even weirder."

She seemed to be trying her best to understand this unreasonable situation, her tone full of confusion and worry: "Each of their story lines is extremely conflicting and exclusive. So many people are crowded in the same world, and their goals, interests, and even story backgrounds may be completely different...Won't the plot be completely messed up? In this way, everyone's story line can't be advanced synchronously. What's wrong with Zhang Lan? What are they doing? I don't understand, I don't understand."

Hearing Qin Su's words, Chu Lu's heart sank suddenly.

An unprecedented feeling of fear, like an icy tide, instantly overwhelmed him.

He had thought before that if there were only two or three heroines, it would be no problem for him to deal with them, and the worst that could happen was that he would overturn the table.

Adding one or two more would just be a little more effort.

But if there are ten or twenty more, or even one or two hundred more...that would be completely different.

Faced with such a large group of heroines, Chu Lu immediately realized that this time he might not be able to rely on the previous methods to break the deadlock.

Faced with this crazy copy of the heroine that seemed to be out of control and everywhere, any rash action might trigger an unpredictable chain reaction and drag him into an abyss of no return.

For a moment, Chu Lu felt cold all over, and a deep feeling of powerlessness gripped his heart.
