Chapter 263 Tit for tat
Chapter 263 Tit for tat
In the Yangxin Palace, Chu Lu looked at the angry Taifu in front of him and the crying Princess Jiang Miaoyan behind him, then looked at the Crown Prince, Queen and Liu Jiajia who were called over, feeling somewhat confused.
The queen, who had suffered a lot these days, looked pale and could only hold on with all her might. As for Liu Jiajia, she clutched the corner of her clothes tightly, looking a little overwhelmed.
"Father..." The prince, who was standing not far from Chu Lu, was also confused and worried. He looked at the master and others, then at Chu Lu, and asked in a low voice, "What, what happened? Master and others..."
Chu Lu signaled them to stay calm, and cast a calm gaze towards the Grand Tutor, asking in a deep voice, "Grand Tutor, what is the reason for barging into the Yangxin Palace with such a fierce momentum today?"
“What’s the matter?!” The Grand Tutor seemed to have heard a huge joke. He took a step forward, pointed at Chu Lu, and shouted sternly, “Your Majesty! Don’t you know why we are here?!”
Before Chu Lu could answer, Jiang Miaoyan behind him let out a more miserable cry, then slowly pulled open the sleeves of her inappropriate high-necked palace dress with great grievance, revealing the deliberately fake scars on her arms.
"Your Majesty! Look at this! Look at this!" The Imperial Tutor pointed at the scar, his voice trembling with grief. "Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs! The eldest princess is your own flesh and blood, how could you be so cruel?! Just because she begged you not to move her beloved magnolia tree? Are you still a human being?! You are unworthy of being a father! You are unworthy of being a king!"
Chu Lu looked at the whip marks, then looked at Jiang Miaoyan's tearful expression but the smug look in her eyes, and he suddenly understood everything.
He said helplessly, "Taifu, what you said is wrong. I didn't touch the eldest princess at all yesterday. She broke into the imperial study room without any reason, made a scene and left on her own. As for this injury..."
Chu Lu carefully examined the angle and strength of the whip marks and said, "Looking at the direction of the marks, the force is uneven. It seems like someone whipped his arm with a whip, right?"
"Wow!" Jiang Miaoyan seemed to have suffered a great injustice. Her cries suddenly became louder and her whole body collapsed. "Father! Not only did you beat me, but you also slandered me like this! I don't want to live anymore! Just let me die! Wuuuuu..."
“Your Majesty!” The Imperial Tutor became even more furious upon seeing this. His finger was shaking as he pointed at Chu Lu. “At this point, you still want to quibble? You even dare to accuse the princess? Is your heart made of stone?!”
Seeing the Taifu's indiscriminate look, Chu Lu sighed inwardly and immediately gave up trying to reason with them.
——Forget it, the most urgent thing is to let the old man Taifu leave first. He is old and a loyal minister who truly cares about the emperor. There is no need to let him get involved.
Thinking of this, Chu Lu showed just the right amount of regret and helplessness on his face. He sighed and his tone softened: "Alas... Never mind, never mind. Perhaps I was in a bad mood yesterday and... I was a little too heavy-handed. This matter is my fault."
He looked at the Grand Tutor and said with some sincerity: "Grand Tutor, your teaching is correct. I will pay attention in the future and will not do this again."
The Grand Tutor stared at Chu Lu for a long while with a cold face before he snorted heavily: "It would be best if Your Majesty could recognize his mistakes! But this old minister still has something to say!"
He glanced at the queen beside him, his tone was somewhat sarcastic: "As the mother of the country, you can't advise the king, but instead... Humph! It's really beneath your dignity! Your Majesty is vicious, and the inner palace is also responsible for failing to supervise!"
The queen trembled all over at this sudden accusation, and her eyes suddenly showed a hint of shock and grievance.
The Grand Tutor ignored her and turned to Chu Lu, saying sternly, "I am leaving this message here today! If Your Majesty dares to treat the princess so harshly again next time, I will not sit idly by even if I risk my life!"
After saying this, without waiting for Chu Lu's response, he flicked his sleeves, turned around and left the Yangxin Palace.
Chu Lu looked at their backs as they left, and the regret on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by calmness.
As for the queen, how could she have endured such public humiliation and accusations? As soon as the tutor left, she could no longer hold back and sobbed softly, looking very aggrieved.
The prince comforted her.
At this moment, the eldest princess Jiang Miaoyan, who had always pretended to be weak and pitiful, stopped pretending. She wiped the tears from her face and revealed her usual harsh, vicious and arrogant expression.
She stood up, crossed her arms, and sneered impatiently: "Cry, cry, cry! You just know how to cry! What are you crying for?! This family is going to be broken up by you crying, you piece of trash!"
When the queen was scolded by her, she cried even more aggrievedly.
Chu Lu was too lazy to pay attention to this farce. He looked at Jiang Miaoyan and said bluntly: "Tell me, what do you want by making such a fuss?"
Seeing that Chu Lu finally got to the point, Jiang Miaoyan immediately stopped mocking the queen and turned around with an undisguised smug look on her face: "Humph! What do you want? Let me tell you, old man! I can't stay in this palace for a moment! I feel sick just by looking at you guys, so give me the Moon-Lan Villa outside the city! I want to move out! I want to be alone, quiet and comfortable!"
When Chu Lu heard this, his heart was moved.
Leaving the palace? This was a pleasant surprise. He was eager to get rid of this time bomb, but he didn't expect that she would take the initiative to bring it up. As long as she stayed away, he wouldn't be bothered by it, and he could accumulate correction points at ease.
"Okay..." Chu Lu was about to agree.
"No!" The prince suddenly spoke up, and he said anxiously, "Father! Didn't you say before that Lanyue Villa would be given to Jiajia as a villa after she reached the age of marriage? How can you give it to her?"
The next moment, without waiting for Chu Lu to react, Jiang Miaoyan suddenly became furious. She turned her head abruptly and stared at the prince with a look as if she wanted to eat someone.
"What did you say?!" she screamed, her voice extremely shrill.
The next moment, she pounced towards the prince like a madman, her movements were incredibly fast, completely unlike her weak appearance just now.
"You idiot! Are you idiot?!" Jiang Miaoyan screamed, twisted, and crawled darkly like a monkey. She grabbed the prince's hair frantically and beat him violently. "You are such a traitor! Who is Liu Jiajia?! An outsider! A bastard! Do you think you are worthy of competing with me?! I am your biological sister! You don't stand by me, but by her?! I will beat you to death, you traitor! I will beat you to death!"
However, facing the short and thin Jiang Miaoyan, and this ridiculous and disorganized fighting style, the prince was actually beaten back step by step and wailed incessantly.
Chu Lu was stunned.
In his sight, the prince seemed to be under a spell. Although he was almost a head taller than Jiang Miaoyan, he stood there stupidly, allowing Jiang Miaoyan to beat him madly like a sandbag. He howled in pain but had no intention of fighting back.
——Is this prince a fool?
Seeing that the prince was beaten so badly that his face was bruised and bloody, Chu Lu finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Stop!" he shouted.
However, Jiang Miaoyan did not stop, but became even more excited. Her eyes were wide open and bloodshot, and her mouth was stretched into an extremely exaggerated arc, with a mixture of cruelty, complacency and an almost morbid pleasure on her face, and a strange laugh came out of her mouth, which looked particularly scary.
Seeing this, Chu Lu's eyes flashed with coldness. Without hesitation, he took a step forward and kicked Jiang Miaoyan hard in the side of the waist!
boom!
Jiang Miaoyan was kicked so hard that she staggered back several steps, hit a pillar heavily, and then fell to the ground with a groan of pain.
Then, she reacted, slowly stood up, looked at Chu Lu, a trace of confusion flashed across her face, as if she didn't expect Chu Lu to actually take action.
But then, her face suddenly twisted and her eyes turned red, like a hideous devil crawling out of hell.
“Ahhhhhh!” She screamed hysterically, and pulled out a shining sword from somewhere. “You dare to hit me?! You all deserve to die! All of you deserve to die! I will kill you! I will kill you all!”
She brandished her sword and prepared to rush over.
"Are you crazy?" Chu Lu couldn't help but complain when he saw this, and then he immediately shouted: "Come here! Protect the emperor! Capture the princess for me! Lock her up!"
However, the guards and eunuchs in the hall stood there like wooden sculptures or clay figures, their faces filled with fear and hesitation. No one stepped forward to obey orders, as if their hands and feet were bound by an invisible force.
Chu Lu was stunned again and couldn't help but curse: "You guys are crazy too!"
At this moment, he suddenly discovered a faint halo appeared behind Jiang Miaoyan.
Chu Lu's heart sank, and he instantly realized that something was wrong. He asked in his mind, "Qin Su, I seem to see a halo, what is that?"
"It's the heroine's halo." Qin Su's voice sounded in his mind at the right time, "It seems that as the chat group gradually recovers, you can now barely see its existence."
Chu Lu understood instantly. Why did the Grand Tutor go crazy, why did the Crown Prince not dare to fight back, why did the guards not dare to take action? It turned out that the halo was already taking effect.
Chu Lu also realized in an instant that he was helpless.
Although he had accumulated ten correction points, enough to offset her heroine aura, it did not mean that he could take action immediately.
After all, if she was killed, it would make too much noise and would immediately attract the attention of the organization. Even if she was not killed, the abnormal situation caused by the failure of the aura would be enough to alert people and she might still report to the organization. In the final analysis, now was not the time to tear each other apart.
"That's enough!" Chu Lu took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and said to Jiang Miaoyan, "Stop making trouble! Lanyue Villa is for you! I'll give it to you right now!"
Jiang Miaoyan's crazy movements suddenly stopped, and she looked at Chu Lu suspiciously, as if to confirm the truth of his words.
Seeing that Chu Lu didn't seem to be joking, the madness on her face gradually faded away, replaced by a strong sense of pride.
"Humph! That's right!" She put away her sword and said proudly with a victorious attitude, "It should have been done a long time ago! I told you all, don't mess with me! Don't even think about messing with me!"
After saying this, she hummed a little tune triumphantly, and without paying any attention to the prince who was still groaning on the ground and the queen who was crying beside her, she turned around and walked out of the Yangxin Palace with a swagger.
##########
The Hall of Mental Cultivation was in a mess.
Chu Lu expressionlessly ordered the eunuchs to carry the prince, who was still groaning on the ground, to the Imperial Hospital for treatment, and sent the empress, who was about to faint from crying, back to Kunning Palace to rest. Liu Jiajia was also frightened, so Chu Lu asked her to go back to her own palace to calm down first.
Soon, Chu Lu was the only one left in the noisy Yangxin Palace.
He walked to the imperial desk and sat down with a gloomy face.
"Qin Su," he asked in his mind, "What is the subsequent story line of this Jiang Miaoyan? Will she be quiet for a while after taking over the villa? What tricks will she come up with later?"
"For some reason, I can't see their story line clearly. I can only see the general idea." Qin Su's voice was a little solemn, "But it is obvious that she will not be content after taking over the villa. Instead, she will come up with all kinds of endless tricks to torture you, just like today. It even seems that her story line ends with your death..."
Chu Lu: “…”
"So there is no room for turning back?" Chu Lu asked.
"It seems so."
"Okay." Chu Lu sighed lightly, "It seems that we must get rid of her as soon as possible."
Qin Su said at this time: "But killing her directly is too risky. I don't recommend you do this."
"I know. Since we can't kill her, let's send her away." Chu Lu pondered, "And we have to send her away in a way that she and the people affected by the halo can't find fault with her."
Qin Su asked curiously, "What's the solution?"
Chu Lu smiled slightly: "Just watch."
##########
On the other side, Jiang Miaoyan returned to her Jingren Palace contentedly.
Thinking that she had gotten the stubborn old tutor to charge into battle for her with just a few words, and that she had easily snatched the Lanyue Villa from Chu Lu, and also taught that annoying prince a lesson, she felt extremely happy and proud.
In the afternoon, the chief eunuch of the Imperial Household Department came in person to read out the imperial edict, and brought the land deeds, house deeds and all other related documents.
Jiang Miaoyan was too lazy to even listen to the eunuch's nonsense. She waved her hand impatiently to drive him away and just threw the documents to her female official in charge.
"Hurry up! Tell the people downstairs to pack up immediately! I'm going to move there tonight!" she ordered excitedly.
The female official in charge quickly agreed and immediately directed the palace maids and eunuchs to get busy.
Jiang Miaoyan was drinking tea leisurely on the side.
She remembered clearly that in her previous life, the most beautiful and luxurious Lanyue Villa outside the capital was given to that bitch Liu Jiajia by that old man! At that time, she was so jealous that her eyes turned red, but she could only watch Liu Jiajia move in and enjoy everything that should have belonged to her!
And now, just by going crazy and using some tricks, this villa fell into her hands easily!
"Hmph, Liu Jiajia, just wait, I will take back everything that belongs to you one by one!" Jiang Miaoyan thought proudly, with a contented smile on her lips.
In the evening, everything was ready. Jiang Miaoyan, accompanied by a large number of servants and luggage, marched out of the palace and headed towards Lanyue Villa.
The carriage was driving on the way out of the palace. Jiang Miaoyan lifted the curtain and looked at the palace walls gradually disappearing outside. Her mood became more and more cheerful.
However, when the convoy finally arrived at the destination and stopped in front of the gate of the villa, the smile on Jiang Miaoyan's face froze instantly.
Where is the luxurious villa in front of me?
It was clearly a dilapidated old house that had been abandoned for a long time!
Most of the courtyard wall had collapsed, revealing the weed-covered wasteland inside. The red lacquer gate had long been mottled and peeling, and a crooked plaque hung on it. The words "Lan Ri" could be vaguely recognized, but the side was covered with spider webs. The air was filled with a damp, rotten, and musty smell, mixed with an indescribable stench.
"What's going on?!" Jiang Miaoyan couldn't believe her eyes. She jumped off the carriage and grabbed the female official who was standing next to her, asking shrilly, "Where is the Lanyue Villa?! Where is that magnificent villa?! What the hell is this place?!"
The female official in charge also had a look of bewilderment and fear on her face. She trembled as she took out the documents and maps given by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, checked them carefully, and then replied in a trembling voice: "Your Highness... That's right... The title deed and the map point to... this is where it points..."
"Impossible!" Jiang Miaoyan snatched the document and started reading it herself. The more she read, the more gloomy her face became.
It was clearly written in black and white on the document and drawn clearly, pointing to the dilapidated yard in front of us!
"Old bastard! How dare he play tricks on me!" Jiang Miaoyan understood instantly and was so angry that she trembled all over and almost broke her teeth.
She immediately wanted to rush back to the palace to settle the score with Chu Lu, but when she looked at the sky, it was already completely dark and the palace gates had already been locked, so it was impossible for her to go back.
Helplessly, she could only suppress her nausea and anger, and with a heart full of resentment, she gritted her teeth and had someone clean up the shabby yard so that she could temporarily live there.
That night, Jiang Miaoyan tossed and turned in the shabby room filled with mold and stench, and hardly slept.
Early the next morning, she had two big dark circles under her eyes and felt that her whole body was stained with that foul smell. She rushed back to the palace angrily, ready to go to the clan school for classes - and to find an opportunity to make trouble.
However, when she arrived at the school in a stinking state, she found that the class had already ended and there was no one inside!
Upon asking, I found out that just yesterday afternoon, Chu Lu suddenly issued an order to modify the course timetable of the clan school and moved the class time forward by a full hour!
Because Jiang Miaoyan lived outside the city and the journey was long, coupled with the trouble she had last night, she was still late despite her best efforts and completely missed today's class.
"Old thing!" Jiang Miaoyan immediately understood that this was another conspiracy of Chu Lu! Not only did he use the fake courtyard to trick her, he also used this method to prevent her from studying at the clan school! The purpose was to prevent her from getting the first place in the assessment so that he could marry her off legitimately in the future!
Jiang Miaoyan was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. Her face was grim and she was about to go find the Queen and the Prince to have a big fight and vent her anger.
When they went to Kunning Palace and Donggong to ask, they found that both of them were not there! The reason was that they were injured and needed to recuperate. Chu Lu ordered them to be moved to another palace to recuperate. The palace people said they didn't know where they were!
Jiang Miaoyan failed and became even more furious. After changing her mind, she went to find trouble with Liu Jiajia again.
However, Liu Jiajia was always accompanied by other noble children. When they saw her coming, they immediately protected Liu Jiajia behind them. Liu Jiajia hid behind them and said confidently that the matter of the other courtyard was between her father and her sister. She knew nothing and never said anything. It was none of her business. Jiang Miaoyan was choked and speechless.
Finally, Jiang Miaoyan couldn't stand it anymore and decided to go directly to Chu Lu, the culprit, to settle the score!
But when she angrily rushed to the vicinity of the Yangxin Palace, she saw from afar Chu Lu and Concubine Li, the heir of Yaowang Valley and proficient in medicine and poison, walking and chatting in the Imperial Garden.
Jiang Miaoyan's steps suddenly stopped.
She glanced at Concubine Li, hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted her teeth, turned around and left angrily.
In the imperial garden, Chu Lu looked at Jiang Miaoyan's back as she left in disappointment, with an imperceptible curve at the corner of his mouth.
"It seems that I guessed right." He breathed a sigh of relief. "In order to prevent their respective story lines from interfering with each other and causing uncontrollable chaos, these heroines will indeed avoid direct contact and conflict with each other."
"This will make it easy." Chu Lu felt relieved. "As long as I continue to use various methods to interfere with her going to the sect school and prevent her from getting the first place, I can then legitimately send her away. Then I can concentrate on cleaning up those spies and accumulating enough correction points."
However, Chu Lu also knew that Jiang Miaoyan was the heroine after all, and she would definitely not give in so easily, and she would definitely have other ways to deal with it.
"In order to respond as soon as possible, we still have to send someone to keep an eye on her." Chu Lu thought, "We have to find a smart eunuch to monitor her at all times to see what tricks she is going to play next."
