Chapter 249 Dead, all dead!
"Master Chu, don't be so excited."
Seeing Chu Guoan trying to pounce on Yun Yue again and again, Liu Chengan hesitated but raised his hand to stop him.
Chu Guoan glanced at Liu Chengan with red eyes. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Liu Qizhang's majestic voice from the generals' camp beside him: "Master Chu, please don't scare the child. Since His Majesty has summoned her to the palace, why don't we listen to what Miss Yun has to say."
Although Liu Qizhan did not often attend court, his reputation and status were extraordinary, and he was the current leader of the military generals. As soon as he said this, the military generals on the side all stared at Chu Guoan with sharp eyes, and their eyes were very terrifying.
A group of warriors.
Chu Guoan cursed in his heart, but he could only step aside obediently.
"Yunyue, what exactly is going on here? Tell me and I'll take care of it for you."
At this time, the gentle voice of Emperor Jianping came from the high platform not far away. Yun Yue was stunned for a moment. The voice seemed slightly familiar. She raised her eyes slightly and inadvertently met the eyes of Emperor Jianping.
Prince Zhou.
Yun Yue never expected that the Master Zhou she met on Qixi Festival would actually be the current emperor! And Bai Tan'er...was she a female guard or a lady-in-waiting in the palace?
Yun Yue had a lot of thoughts in her mind, but suddenly she felt the gaze of Emperor Jianping on her. It seemed like he... secretly winked at her?
Is it an illusion?
Yun Yue collected her thoughts, organized her words, and then slowly spoke: "I did live in the Chu family before..."
Yun Yue briefly recounted her experiences in the Chu family. The focus, of course, was on how Chu Yunfei had framed her again and again, and the assassination attempt this time.
"I have left the Chu family and changed my surname. I only want to live a peaceful life. However, the Chu family has repeatedly tried to kill me. Your Majesty, please stand up for me! Seek justice for me!"
Yun Yue's voice was resounding, and before she finished speaking, she had already knelt heavily on the ground.
The court officials standing by were silent, but everyone knew what was going on. Chu Guoan was truly unkind and cold-blooded...
"Yuer, my Yueer, I didn't expect you to suffer so much. It's all Daddy's fault. Daddy was busy with official duties and neglected the management of the harem. He even ignored you on weekdays..."
At this time, Chu Guoan started performing again while crying bitterly.
All the civil and military officials in the court showed contemptuous eyes, and Meng Xiang glared at Chu Guoan fiercely.
"His Majesty!"
At this time, a slender figure hurried to the hall. It was Du Mingzhou, the imperial guard officer in charge of this case.
"Your Majesty, Madam Chu and Miss Chu II, they..."
Du Mingzhou hesitated for a moment, then spoke solemnly, "When I arrived, they both committed suicide out of fear of punishment. This is the blood confession they left behind."
As he spoke, Du Mingzhou took out two letters covered in blood from his arms. These were found in the boudoirs of Mrs. Chu and Miss Chu II, and should have been left behind by the two before they died.
"died?"
Emperor Jianping's voice was slightly too high, and he subconsciously looked in the direction of Chu Guoan.
Chu Guoan's eyes were red as he looked at Du Mingzhou in disbelief. He then rushed over and grabbed Du Mingzhou's arm, asking tremblingly, "You, who are you talking about? Who died? Who died?"
Chu Guoan was crazy, but it didn't look like he was pretending. The ministers in the court looked at him with eyes that changed from contempt to pity.
Only Gu Yanqing has been watching all this coldly——
crazy?
He felt that among all the civil and military officials in the court, Chu Guoan was the most sober-minded.
In order to protect himself, this guy even spared no effort in killing his wife and daughter. He is truly a man without cruelty.
So cruel.
"Hahaha, dead, all dead, I deserve to die too, I deserve to die!"
Chu Guoan's crazy words kept echoing in the hall. While no one was paying attention, Chu Guoan suddenly crashed into the pillar beside the hall. His head was bleeding and he passed out.
Today's grand court meeting was truly bloody...
A quarter of an hour later.
The court meeting was over, and many ministers walked out of the hall with sighs on their faces. What happened today?
I saw a lot of excitement, but after the excitement there was a sigh.
Chu Guoan could no longer become the Minister of Rites, and even lost his official position, but at least he saved his life.
But so what?
The Chu family was originally small, and Chu Guoan's lineage only had two daughters. Now the eldest daughter disowned him, the second daughter committed suicide out of fear of punishment, and even his wife died.
Overnight, the Chu family was finished, and people from other branches would naturally be implicated by Chu Guoan, not to mention that the Meng family was also involved this time.
Who among them dares to be an enemy of the Meng family?
It seems that I need to prepare a few more memorials after returning today. Those guys in the Chu family have dirty hands too, so I might as well clean them up at the same time. It will also help me improve my favorability in front of Lord Meng.
As for the Chu family's false report of Chu Yunyue's death, Emperor Jianping did not pursue the matter, so other officials could not add insult to injury.
"Miss Yun."
When Yun Yue came out of the Golden Palace, she was still in a daze. Before she had walked far, she was stopped by a eunuch in the palace.
"Miss Yun, please stay. His Majesty invites you." The eunuch looked at Yun Yue with a smile and spoke slowly.
"Your Majesty?" Liu Cheng'an, who had been following Yun Yue, was slightly startled and said subconsciously, "I will go with you."
"General Xiao Liu." The eunuch smiled at Liu Cheng'an and said, "Your Majesty only wants to see Miss Yun."
"Lord Liu, please leave the palace first. I can handle it."
Yun Yue gave Liu Cheng'an a reassuring look, then turned and left with the eunuch.
"Why, worried about your sweetheart?"
Liu Qizhan's familiar voice suddenly came from behind Liu Cheng'an.
Liu Cheng'an's face flushed, and he immediately spoke nervously, "No, no, I'm just worried that since it's her first time in the palace, she might not know the rules and offend His Majesty."
"Ah."
Liu Qizhang smiled faintly and stroked his beard. "It's hard to say much about our Majesty, but when it comes to women of all kinds, he is always very compassionate and gentle. Miss Yun is such a beautiful woman, His Majesty will definitely treat her with kindness, you don't have to worry."
Be kind and gentle to women...
Liu Cheng'an's expression became even more unnatural. Could it be that His Majesty... has fallen for Yun Yue?
When he thought of this, Liu Cheng'an felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
Liu Qizhang, who was standing by, seemed to see through his son's thoughts. He smiled and patted his shoulder: "You still need to hone your skills. Learn more from Dong Pingle in the future. That guy is really good at pleasing girls."
And Dongping Lexue?
When Liu Chengan heard his father's words, he hesitated for a moment.
He will be leaving the capital in a few days. Isn't it a bit late for him to go to Dong Pingle to study now?
and many more.
I don't want to do anything to Miss Yun, so why should I go to Dongping Lexue!
Just when Liu Cheng'an was full of confusion, Yun Yue had already followed the eunuch to the imperial garden of the imperial city. The garden was full of blooming flowers, flowing water under small bridges, and the scenery was pleasant. In an elegant pavilion in the imperial garden, Emperor Jianping, dressed in a dragon robe, was sitting opposite another person, looking lazy and calm.
