Chapter 274 Take action
At the same time, at Lanri Villa.

Jiang Miaoyan came back contentedly. She leaned back on the couch, slowly sipping the fragrant tea served by the maid, and her mind kept recalling the scene in the side hall of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Chu Lu's shocked, stunned, helpless, and finally distraught look was so pleasing to the eye!

Finally! Finally, he had tasted despair! Finally, he understood what the consequences would be if he went against her! This was the result she wanted! This was the taste of victory!

All those little fights and so-called schemes before were nothing in the face of absolute violence! As expected, to deal with this self-righteous old man, this is the simplest and most direct way!

She hummed a tuneless little song, feeling that the frustration and anger that had accumulated over so many days had finally been completely released.

Just then, a familiar prompt sound rang out. It was a notification from the chat group.

Jiang Miaoyan raised her eyebrows, and opened the chat group interface with a bit of displeasure at being disturbed.

As soon as the interface opened, the first thing Jiang Miaoyan saw was Concubine Li, who was the heir of Yaowang Valley.

Concubine Li: "Oh, Princess, you are making quite a commotion. You are almost overturning the entire palace, right?"

Soon after, other people also came out.

Concubine Wan, who could be read by Chu Lu, was also a little dissatisfied and said, "Yes, I can smell the blood from a long distance away. Is it that serious?"

Concubine Zhuang, who possesses a beauty-enhancing system, said with concern: "Are you going too far? What if you scare His Majesty? Unlike you, my storyline requires the Emperor to fall in love with me first."

The second princess, like Jiang Miaoyan, is also an extremely strong heroine. Her words are not as peaceful as those of the above ones. She directly cursed: "Jiang Miaoyan! Are you crazy? I warned you not to mess around! What if something happens to the emperor? What about my story line? That bastard used a foot cloth as a tiger talisman to fool me, causing me to lose my master when I went to subdue the dark army. I was going to wait until the plot point to take revenge on him! If you mess up my revenge, I will kill you!"

Looking at the chattering messages on the screen, the pride on Jiang Miaoyan's face diminished slightly, replaced by a hint of disdain and irritability.

Jiang Miaoyan asked, "What are you arguing about? Is it worth making a fuss about such a small matter? Didn't I warn you before I took action? Didn't you object at that time?"

She did reveal in the group in advance that she would take more drastic measures to force Chu Lu. There was a period of time before that she suddenly calmed down, which was to try to persuade them. At that time, this group of people refused to agree to Jiang Miaoyan's request. After all, they were not members of a group like Zi Yan and the others in the previous copy.

In this case, when they arrive at a copy, they are naturally in a competitive relationship. Who would give convenience to their competitors? Especially for a character like the heroine who is extremely double-standard and extremely selfish.

Jiang Miaoyan spent a lot of effort and paid a huge price before she managed to convince them.

Concubine Li said, "That's what you said, but who would have thought that you would kill four people in one go? Liu Jiajia is fine, she is a character exclusive to your story line, but the commander of the Imperial Guards and the two important ministers are considered public supporting roles, right?"

The second princess was shocked when she heard this: "Wait! Lin Xiao is dead? Damn it! Although he is not an important character, he has appeared in my storyline!"

Jiang Miaoyan said impatiently, "Okay, stop talking nonsense. I know what's going on. What you're worried about is the impact on your storyline. The commander of the imperial guards sounds impressive, but in reality, they're just a few insignificant background characters. I've kept the important emperor, empress, and prince, so it won't have much of an impact."

Concubine Wan said: "Even if they are just background characters, it will be troublesome if you kill too many of them. Besides, I see you kill so happily, you might get addicted to killing someday, and you might lose control and kill the emperor too..."

Jiang Miaoyan snorted coldly and said, "If he knows what's best for him, I won't touch him. If he doesn't know what's best for him... hmph, then kill him and support a puppet. Anyway, all you need is an emperor, so who it is doesn't matter? Could it be that you really have feelings for him?"

Concubine Zhuang said, "What a joke! We are the heroines. Do you think we are the heroines of a sadistic novel? Anyway, take it easy."

Concubine Li said: "That's right, don't go too far, it will not benefit anyone."

Jiang Miaoyan said impatiently: "I know, I know, stop nagging!"

She closed the chat group interface, curled her lips, and looked disdainful.

"A bunch of nagging gossips, useless people who can't do anything but always cause trouble!" She spat in a low voice, "If that old man wasn't so difficult to deal with, I wouldn't bother to flatter you idiots!"

But it's fine now.

Thinking of Chu Lu's previous reaction, Jiang Miaoyan's mood turned from cloudy to sunny. She believed that Chu Lu must have been scared to death and no longer had the courage to fight against her.

But he is the emperor after all, he has to save face. I guess it will take a day or two for him to calm down, weigh the pros and cons, and confirm that there is no other way. Then he will send someone to discuss with me. At that time... hehe, the initiative will be in my hands!

So Jiang Miaoyan began to wait with peace of mind. She even had a good sleep for the first time in her life, and her dreams were filled with scenes of Chu Lu kneeling down to beg for mercy and offering the title of the clan leader with both hands.

However, a day passed and there was no movement in the palace.

Two days passed and still nothing happened.

Three days...

In the Lanri Villa, the smug smile on Jiang Miaoyan's face had long disappeared, and her expression became extremely gloomy.

"What's going on?!" Jiang Miaoyan threw a teacup to the ground, breaking it into pieces. "That old man! How dare he not come?! Wasn't there enough people he killed last time? He thought I wouldn't dare to do it again?! He won't cry until he sees the coffin?" A surge of anger rushed to Jiang Miaoyan's head again. She gritted her teeth, her eyes full of murderous intent. "Okay! Very good! In that case, I'll kill a few more! I want to see how long you can hold on!"

She was just about to go to the palace to arrest a few more people to make an example of them, when a eunuch rushed in and knelt down to report: "Your Highness, the Princess, His Majesty asks you to go to the Imperial Study immediately, saying that he wants to discuss the marriage with you again..."

When Jiang Miaoyan heard this, she was stunned at first, and then a smile of ecstasy and pride instantly broke out on her face.

“Hahahaha!” She couldn’t help but burst into laughter, her voice full of triumph. “I thought he was really so strong-willed, but in the end he gave in!”

The waiting and anxiety of the past few days disappeared in an instant.

"Let's go! Go to the Imperial Study immediately!" Jiang Miaoyan waved her sleeves and walked towards the Imperial Study impatiently. This time, she wanted to see the old man bow his head and admit defeat with her own eyes!
In the imperial study room.

Chu Lu sat alone behind the imperial desk with a calm expression.

Jiang Miaoyan pushed the door open and walked in, with an undisguised look of sarcasm and pride on her face. She didn't bow, but walked straight to the imperial desk and looked down at Chu Lu: "Tell me, old man. Have you figured it out? How are you going to beg me?"

Chu Lu raised his head and looked at her, who had returned to her usual smug look, with no ripples in his heart. Although he knew that any verbal confrontation had lost its meaning, he still wanted to make one last attempt.

"Miao Yan," Chu Lu's voice was very calm, "Stop it. Things are not yet irreversible, and it is still within the limit of my tolerance. If you stop now, I can still treat what happened before as if it never happened."

"Huh?" Jiang Miaoyan seemed to have heard a huge joke. "You are telling me this now? Are you still asleep? I have the final say now! Stop talking nonsense, revoke the arranged marriage, and give me back the first place. Otherwise, you know..."

"I am serious." Chu Lu interrupted her, "Do you think you can get what you want by killing them? What you are doing now will only push yourself into an abyss of no return. Even if you force me to surrender today, what about tomorrow? Do you think this world, this court, will tolerate a princess who kills important officials and threatens the emperor and father?"

"What does it matter? Aren't there many emperors among you who have killed important ministers and threatened their fathers?" Jiang Miaoyan sneered and said, "How can you do it? Why can't I?"

"Because you are just a princess! You have no power, no influence, and no one to rely on. How can you have the ability to act wildly? Don't you think it's ridiculous?" Chu Lu said.

"Pfft!" Jiang Miaoyan sneered, "This is ridiculous! What is your right to point fingers at me when I do something? This is so stupid. You are about to die, and you still say I am ridiculous. I am ridiculous, so why do you behave like this?"

"I just don't want to see you destroy yourself..."

"That's enough!" Jiang Miaoyan completely lost her patience. She interrupted Chu Lu impatiently, "I thought you came here to beg for mercy, but you kept whining here. It seems that you don't intend to obey me. Well, since you don't want to drink the wine, don't blame me for being cruel!"

The smile on Jiang Miaoyan's face disappeared instantly. A fierce light flashed in her eyes. She raised her hand and was about to grab Chu Lu, wanting to tear Chu Lu's face apart.

However, the moment she made her move, something strange happened!
Chu Lu stretched out his right hand, and unexpectedly arrived first, grabbing her throat accurately!

"Well--!"

Jiang Miaoyan only felt an overwhelming force coming, her breathing was cut off instantly, and her whole body was lifted up!

There was an expression of incredible horror on her face!

——How is it possible?! How can he be so fast?!
She tried to struggle and resist, but was shocked to find that her strength was so small in front of the opponent's seemingly casual grab. The opponent's palm was as indestructible as if it was made of fine iron.

"Why, why..." She squeezed out a few words from her throat with difficulty, her eyes full of fear and confusion, "You...break free...no..."

There was no expression on Chu Lu's face, only a deep sense of helplessness and fatigue.

"Alas..." Chu Lu sighed, his tone extremely helpless, "I said, I don't want to kill you. You forced me to do it."

He looked at Jiang Miaoyan's face which was distorted by suffocation, and there was a hint of anger in his helpless tone: "Why? Why do you have to kill people? Why can't you just be your heroine and use your childish and ridiculous female methods to deal with me honestly? Then I will use the same childish and ridiculous female methods to defend myself. You slap me, I kick you; you frame me, I expose you; you call for help, I repeat myself... We can obviously keep performing those absurd plots, torturing each other, pulling each other, until this copy is over. Isn't this good? Why do you have to force me into a dead end? Why do you just..."

Chu Lu gnashed his teeth and said, "Do you really want to die?"

As he spoke, the force in his hands became tighter and tighter.

Jiang Miaoyan's face was filled with shock when she heard this. She opened her mouth as wide as she could and wanted to say something, but unfortunately her strength was getting weaker and weaker, her consciousness began to blur, and finally the light in her eyes was completely extinguished.

Click.

A slight sound of bone cracking was heard.

Chu Lu let go of his hand.

Jiang Miaoyan's body slid softly to the ground without a sound.

The imperial study room was once again in deathly silence. Only Chu Lu stood there, looking down at the gradually cooling body on the ground, speechless.
