Quick Wear: Beautiful, Strong, Miserable, Whitening Guide

In the warm room, the charcoal fire was still crackling.

Lin Ci'an was reviewing the memorials, and the sound of his red pen scratching across the paper made a rustling sound.

Chu Ziyu had been comforted and fell asleep curled up on the soft couch beside him.

(The Liu family... are truly tired of living.)

A bloodthirsty glint flashed across his eyes.

I originally wanted to keep them and slowly beat them up, but now it seems that their lives are too long.

At this moment, a cautious eunuch's voice came from outside the palace: "Your Highness, Uncle Liu and several censors have requested an audience outside the palace gates. They are concerned about Your Majesty's health and implore Your Highness to allow them to visit or to select another renowned doctor to consult with Your Majesty."

Lin Ci'an didn't stop writing, and didn't even raise his eyelids. He just spat out one word coldly: "Get lost."

There was a sudden silence outside the hall.

The eunuch crawled back, fearing that he would get into trouble if he was a step slower.

However, this is just the beginning.

Over the next two days, officials of the Liu Party, led by Liu Chen, acted as if they had made an appointment.

Some submitted joint petitions, while others knelt in front of the palace gate to plead, their words sincere and each sentence always including "Your Majesty's health is related to the foundation of the country", "Your Majesty is extremely worried", "Please consider the overall situation first".

On the surface, they acted in a high-sounding manner, but in reality, they were pressing forward step by step, trying to create public pressure, challenge Lin Ci'an's authority, and also to cover up their real conspiracy in secret.

Lin Ci'an's approach was simple and rough.

All memorials requesting visits will be kept and not sent out.

All the officials kneeling outside the palace gate were ignored and allowed to kneel until they were exhausted.

Several censors who spoke particularly harshly and tried to force their way in were dragged away by the Imperial Guards and imprisoned on the charge of "roaring in the palace and disturbing the emperor's carriage."

Under the iron-blooded wrist, the undercurrent in the court was temporarily suppressed, but the oppressive feeling of impending storm became more and more intense.

The Liu family is secretly operating even more frantically.

Empress Dowager Liu and her brother-in-law Liu Chen met again in a secret room, and both of them looked even gloomier and uglier than last time.

"Did you see that? Lin Ci'an is determined to keep His Majesty in his care! He won't even allow him to visit. What on earth does he want to do?! He's my son."

Empress Dowager Liu gritted her teeth, her nails almost digging into her palms.

Liu Chen's eyes were sinister. "It seems that Your Majesty is in danger in his hands. Or... he has already become his plaything, unable to see the light of day! We can't wait any longer!"

"What do you mean, brother?"

"Two-pronged approach, but faster and more ruthless!"

Liu Chen lowered his voice and said in a ruthless tone, "On the surface, continue to exert pressure, but don't expect to see His Majesty anymore.

We need to contact more court officials, especially those old officials who have long been dissatisfied with Lin Ci'an's arbitrary rule, to tell His Majesty that something unexpected has happened to him.

"Let the rumor of the Regent's ulterior motives spread, disrupting the government and making him exhausted!"

"secretly,"

A vicious gleam flashed in his eyes, "Confirm it with Prince An immediately!

Tell him that as long as he is obedient, his grandson will be the future emperor!

Let him use all the hidden power in his hands and find an opportunity within three days..."

He made a gesture of wiping his neck and lowered his voice to a very low level: "...Let His Majesty die of illness.

As soon as the news of his death comes out, we can immediately take out the "last will" and support the new king, catching Lin Ci'an off guard!

By then, the situation will be irreversible, and even if he has extraordinary abilities, he will be powerless to reverse the situation!"

"it is good!"

Empress Dowager Liu's eyes blazed with madness, "That's it! I'll draft a blood letter from 'Your Majesty' begging for help, and find a way to get someone out!"

Then, let's see how Lin Ci'an explains it!"

(And in the warm room)

Lin Ci'an frowned as he looked at the medicine presented by the imperial physician again.

He waved the imperial physician away, holding the bowl of thick black medicine, and walked to the bedside.

Chu Ziyu was sleeping quietly, breathing evenly and with a peaceful face.

The sunlight filtered through the window, casting tiny shadows on his long eyelashes.

Lin Ci'an looked at him, his promise echoing in his mind.

An idea grew and grew wildly in his mind—

(If he never remembers...)

(If he keeps relying on me and trusting me like this...)

(Isn’t it… better?)

(I can protect him. I can keep out all the wind and rain. It’s better to forget the dirty, painful past.)

(Without those memories, he would just be my Ziyu.)

He stood in silence for a long time, then suddenly turned around and poured the bowl of steaming medicine in his hand into the charcoal basin in the corner without hesitation!

With a light "hiss" sound, the medicinal juice was instantly evaporated by the hot charcoal fire, turning into a white smoke with a bitter medicinal smell and dissipated in the air.
