Chapter 269: Slander Again? ?

In the following days, just as Chu Lu had expected, Jiang Miaoyan did not give up after hitting a wall with the emperor. She first went to the queen mother to cry and complain, trying to use the same trick again. Then she tried to contact the upright officials in the court, trying to incite them to submit a petition to put pressure on the emperor.

Unfortunately, because Chu Lu had previously captured the traitor of the Imperial Guards and thwarted the poisoning conspiracy, and occupied the reason in the matter of the clan school assessment. These people were not very willing to help Jiang Miaoyan deal with Chu Lu. Even under the halo of the heroine, they reluctantly set off, but often lacked fighting spirit.

When Chu Lu's attitude was a little bit of a wall, she wanted to back down, which was far less than the emperor's efforts. In the end, all of Jiang Miaoyan's attempts fell on deaf ears and failed to stir up any waves. This made her even more angry and anxious.

On the other side, in the imperial study.

Chu Lu was quite satisfied with his repeater strategy. Facts have proved that when dealing with a brainless heroine like Jiang Miaoyan, the cold treatment is much more effective than confronting her head-on or reasoning with her.

"It seems that as long as I can hold on for a few more days like this, and wait for the Ministry of Rites to complete the wedding ceremony and pack her up and send her on a carriage heading to the northwest, this biggest time bomb will be temporarily dismantled." Chu Lu thought in a good mood, and even had the leisure to flip through an unimportant travelogue.

However, just when he thought everything was under control, a burst of hurried and panicked footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall.

Then, the eunuch Xiao Luzi, whom he had sent to monitor Jiang Miaoyan, rushed in, his face pale and his voice tearful: "Your Majesty! Something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened!"

Chu Lu frowned and asked, "Why are you panicking? What happened?"

The next moment, he suddenly realized that Jiang Miaoyan might have done something big again, and immediately asked in a deep voice: "What did the eldest princess do again?"

Xiao Luzi fell to her knees, shaking like a sieve, and cried out in a sobbing voice: "No, no. This time it's the other way around. It's the eldest princess... She, she was molested!"

"What?!" Chu Lu's eyes widened when he heard this. Could the heroine be molested? And with Jiang Miaoyan's mad dog-like temper, who dared to molest her? Who could molest her? Was she trying to kill herself?
He asked, "Who molested you? Where?"

Xiao Luzi raised his head, his face full of fear and disbelief. He pointed at Chu Lu tremblingly, and then uttered a few words with difficulty: "Yes, yes... Your Majesty..."

Chu Lu: “???”

The expression on his face froze instantly and his mouth opened slightly.

——What the hell? !

A moment later, Chu Lu rushed to the scene of the crime with a grim face.

The location was cleverly chosen, next to a rather remote forest near Lanri Villa. At this moment, the place was already full of people.

Chu Lu saw Jiang Miaoyan in the center of the crowd at a glance. Her clothes were disheveled, her hair was untied, and there were several scratches on her face. She was folding her arms, shivering in the arms of an old palace maid, with tears in her eyes. Her pitiful appearance could make even the hardest-hearted feel a little pity.

Not far from her, several tall and strong personal soldiers who were obviously not ordinary guards were pinning down a man in the uniform of the Imperial Guard. The man had a bruised face and a blocked mouth, and he struggled with a whimper, his eyes full of fear.

Lin Xiao was also at the scene, commanding his imperial guards with a serious expression. What made Chu Lu even more troubled was that the emperor, the queen mother, and a large group of important officials in the court had already gathered here, pointing at him, whispering, with different expressions. This scene was very strange, and no one knew how they got together so quickly.

"Lin Xiao!" Chu Lu suppressed the absurd feeling in his heart and asked in a deep voice, "What on earth is going on?!"

Lin Xiao took a step forward, bowed, and with a bit of embarrassment on his face, he reported: "Your Majesty... According to, according to Her Royal Highness the Princess... It's, it's you..."

He paused, as if he was having difficulty speaking, but finally he continued, "You bribed this captain of the Imperial Guards and ordered him to capture the princess and bring her into the palace with evil intentions. Fortunately, several of the princess's personal soldiers arrived in time to stop the evil deed and captured the man on the spot."

After hearing this, Chu Lu almost laughed out of anger.

— He bribed his subordinates to do something bad to his own daughter? And he was caught by his daughter's personal soldiers who appeared out of nowhere? Which idiot whose brain was caught by a door wrote this script? How could this work? !

He suppressed the urge to complain and said in a cold voice: "What nonsense! How could I do such a beastly thing?! Also, when did the eldest princess have these so-called personal soldiers? How come I have never heard of them?!"

However, he was apparently the only one who thought so.

The emperor in the crowd was the first to jump out, pointing at Chu Lu and angrily scolding him: "Rebellious son! Beast! Look at what you have done! You even spared your own daughter! Do you have any humanity left?!"

The Queen Mother also covered her face with a handkerchief, looking heartbroken: "Your Majesty, how could you...how could you be so foolish!"

Other ministers also echoed this, looking at Chu Lu with eyes full of contempt and condemnation.

"Your Majesty! If this matter gets out, how will the royal family maintain its reputation?"

"Oh my God! This is horrifying!"

Chu Lu showed helplessness. He looked at the angry crowd in front of him and found that not everyone was crazy. Li Wenyuan and the others were relatively calm. So he decided to try to defend himself. After all, the charge was too serious and he really didn't want to be involved.

"Everyone, please be patient!" Chu Lu's voice was steady and powerful, suppressing the noisy discussions. "This matter is full of strange things. Please think about it with me!"

He took a step forward, looking sharply at the lieutenant of the Imperial Guards who was pinned to the ground, and then turned to the crowd: "What Lin Xiao said just now was the eldest princess's one-sided statement. Let me ask you, as the emperor of this dynasty, if I really want to deal with the eldest princess, there are fair and aboveboard means. Why do I need to resort to such dirty and self-destructive tricks? Besides, she is not good at studying and has a perverse personality. I have already issued an order to marry her to Xibei, so there is no need to do this!"

He paused, his tone becoming somewhat sarcastic: "Besides, even if I really lost my mind and wanted to do something like this, I could just bring her into the palace and drug her. Why would I need to go through so much trouble? And I even used my own Imperial Guards captains. Isn't this obviously leaving a handle and waiting to be caught? Is there such a stupid conspiracy in the world?"

There was a low whisper among the crowd, and some ministers looked thoughtful. Chu Lu was right. The emperor had many ways to deal with his daughter, but it was unreasonable to use such a method to tarnish his reputation.
