Chapter 530: Chapter 531

Unexpectedly, Lu Hehao smiled and asked in return, “Could it be that as soon as I come in here today and throw myself on the ground and can’t stop begging for forgiveness, Your Majesty will spare me?”

Emperor Duanhua was silent.

This is of course impossible not to mention the fact that the Emperor and Empress Wei both hate Lu Hehao to death now, and are eager to strip him to the bone, so how could they be softened by his pleas for mercy?

What’s more, now that Emperor Duanhua has lost his reputation and his future is uncertain, the extent to which he can make decisions is not as good as Empress Wei, so even if he says that he will release Lu Hehao, the people underneath him may not do so.

“So this bastard simply let go and say whatever he wants to say?” The emperor thought with some disinterest, “I hadn’t thought that he used to hate me like that, it’s funny that I still always thought that he was my sibling brother, much more affectionate than other brothers such as King Suk and so on now it seems that, except for the youngest King Shu, there is no such brother who doesn’t have jealousy and resentment towards me, is there? ”

“Even the King of Shu, because of that argument with the Crown Prince before, may be secretly hating on me at this moment!”

Emperor Duanhua was finding it hard to say anything about the depression, but before he thought about it, he heard Lu Hehao say, “What’s more, even if Your Majesty wants to kill me now, that would require a nod from the Empress Dowager!”

“The Empress will not kill you?” Emperor Duanhua snorted and looked at him suspiciously, “Is it hard to believe that you have any other cards that are strong enough to make the Empress change her mind?”

The emperor does not quite believe even if Lu Hehao can now help the crown prince overwhelm Su Wang ascended to the throne in one fell swoop, with Empress Wei’s distaste for him, but also certainly will not commemorate his embrace of the merit of the use of him to finish and then get killed is more or less the same.

And Lu Hehao has little capital to blackmail the Empress …

“This statement shows that although His Majesty has been treating the Empress as his heart for quite some time, yet the Empress is in the end guarding against you!” Lu He Hao also laughed, with obvious malice in his subtle smile, “Could it be that you still don’t know that the smallpox incident that happened in Cui Hua Mountain last year was not at all done by Jian Ping Yu and Jian Li Kuang, but by my hand?!”

Emperor Duanhua rose steeply!

In fact, having fallen into the Emperor’s current situation, he has become numb to being betrayed and hoodwinked and ridiculed and falling on his sword.

After all, from last night until now, the Emperor had already endured too drastic a blow in just less than a day and a night!

But at the moment, he was still a bit unable to suppress the anger in his heart!

Empress Wei was now cold to him, with sharp words and a poor attitude, and although he was uncomfortable, he knew that the two events of house arresting the Empress and picking a newcomer had greatly hurt the Empress’s heart!

But when the smallpox incident happened last year, he still had immense trust in Empress Wei, and truly did not want to take on any newcomers, and planned to live like this for the rest of his life with the Empress guarding the Crown Prince!!!!

Originally, he thought that he had failed the Empress, but he did not realize that even if he did not count the matter of Han Ji’s poisoning, it was still the Empress who had failed him first!!!!

Emperor Duanhua’s mood at this moment could be imagined!

“This matter, when did the Empress know about it?!” The Emperor gasped roughly for a moment, holding on to his last shred of hope to ask.

But Lu Hehao’s light laughter, cut off his line of thought of fluke, “Last year, the end of the summer vacation, after the return of the imperial capital, the Empress should be in mind, right? Otherwise, she would not have sent someone to spy on me, and in front of you, intentionally or unintentionally unfavorable to me well in the smallpox matter above, she is not innocent, in the end did not dare to reveal anything!”

Glancing at the redfaced Emperor Duanhua, he shook his head and sighed, ”What’s the use of your majesty’s anger now? Now that you’re already an abrogated son, your only role is to sit awkwardly on the throne before the court decides on a new ruler, lest you break the rule that the country can’t live without a ruler for a day! And if the Empress is lucky, she may even become the Empress Dowager, you say this up and down the people, now is to listen to you or listen to her? If you go to question her now, you’re just making a fool of yourself!”

He seemed to smile, “Not to mention that with the respective eloquence of you and the Empress, even if the Empress doesn’t use her power to suppress you, it’s still a question of whether or not you’ll be able to speak over her?”

“You do look up to this palace!” Before the words left his mouth, Emperor Duanhua was feeling angry at the top of his lungs when the door to the hall suddenly opened, and Empress Wei in her phoenix crown and gown gathered her sleeves and crossed the threshold, her face icycold as she picked up the words, “Then guess what this palace has come here for?”

As he spoke, he looked around, and the courtiers retreated in a line, shutting the door of the palace that had only just opened again, leaving only Xinqian to serve at the side.

“The Empress hates me to the bone, what else can she do here besides eradicating me?” Lu He Hao turned his head to look at the imposing Empress Wei, but there was nothing to be nervous about, instead, he laughed a little before saying, “But, does the Empress really dare to kill me?”

Empress Wei’s corner of the eye gently picked, phoenix eyes in the sharp flow, she slowly walked to Lu Hehao, coldly looked at him for a moment although the Empress is older than Lu Hehao, but there are differences between men and women, but than this little uncle is a head shorter.

However, at this moment, the Empress looked at his eyes, but through the condescending arrogance and contempt, she stretched out her hand, new snowlike catkin, but a little bit of the fingertips of the blood color demonic, gently patted Lu Hehao’s cheeks.

Uncle and sisterinlaw are of the same generation, and the difference in their ages is only five or six years, but the Empress did this, but it does not give people the slightest sense of frivolity and ambiguity, but instead has a cold and unfeeling meaning.

Lu Hehao read her gaze, the superiority and certainty of an executioner.

Full of towering confidence.

And the mockery of slaughtering at will.

“After noticing the underestimation of you, this palace expected that the matter of Cui Hua Mountain would not be able to help but cause another ripple!” Empress Wei retracted her hand, next to her Xin Jian immediately handed over a snow white silk handkerchief, she wiped her hand while slowly and methodically saying, “Been waiting here for you for a long time sure enough, this card you don’t play, in the end, you’re not willing to do so!”

“But what’s the point?”

“It’s nothing more than wanting to tarnish Minister Gu’s reputationonly you don’t think about it: in terms of reputation, you’re worlds apart compared to Gu.”

“A disloyal, unrighteous, unwise, and unfilial person like you, yet you are so delusional as to try to defame the Chancellor of the dynasty and the head of the family who has been famous for decades that to say that you are whimsical would be an exaggeration!”

“Simply, just don’t know what’s going on!”

“You can’t deal with Minister Gu!”

“Then, trying to blackmail His Majesty, and this palace, with this point is even more impossible!”

“Of course you’re bound to get smart and think that you can take this, and tell the Sue family!”

“Let the Su Family step in and target Minister Gu!”

“Finished well proves that Minister Gu is a crowned disciple, full of the desire to eradicate dissenters and monopolize power!”

“Then, using Minister Gu as a springboard, the fire will be burned to His Majesty since Minister Gu is a profitminded person, and His Majesty gave birth to King Qing with Consort Nuan, who knows if the late Emperor’s death came from the two of them joining forces?!”

“For the reason since, they fear that the wise late Emperor, will perceive the end?!”

When Empress Wei said this, the corner of her mouth hooked slightly, and threw the handkerchief that had already finished wiping her hands onto Lu Hehao’s face, her tone mocking, “It’s really comical!”

“Since the Empress thinks this is funny, why not do it now?” Lu He Hao let the handkerchief fall down after hitting his face, and after sweeping his eyes down, he restrained his smile, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a faint voice, “But instead, you use this kind of pretense of condescension to find ways to strike me?”

“None the less, it is because you are not sure whether I have, in my hand, only such a card left.”

“Or do I have other backhandersor perhaps my calculations regarding the matter of the smallpox at Cuihua Mountain are not as simple as you say?!”

Lu Hehao raised his head and surveyed Empress Wei’s face, which was solemn in its beauty, and said heatedly, “So you want to provoke me into revealing my bottom line through such actions and words, yes or no?”

He laughed and sighed, “It’s a pity that although I am from the same mother as His Majesty, I am not as easy to coax as His Majesty! If the Empress wants to play this hand with me, she has also overestimated me!”

“Gu Shao is extremely prestigious, and his methods are excessive!”

“His move to eradicate dissenters by means of the smallpox matter, not to mention the lack of evidence, even if there was evidence, it would be very difficult to bring him downwhy do I need to be reminded by the Empress of this reasoning, don’t I know it?!”

“I mention the smallpox matter just to tell you: do you know why Gu Shao would target Jian Pingyu’s father and son over the smallpox matter?!”

“The reason is very simple: because the Su family discovered Gu Shao receiving a large bribe from the alreadyvictimized Song Lu!”

“In order to disrupt the court, they took this evidence and quietly placed it in Jian Yijiu’s study!”

“Jane Yiyu saw, since he sought Jane Li Kuang to discuss Jane Li Kuang so went to find Gu Shao, trying to set the mouth!”

“But I didn’t want it to backfire on Gu Shao, mistakenly thinking that Jian Ping Yu was euphemistically threatening him!”

“In that case, how can Gu Shao not fight back?”

“And this passage was all seen by Elder Lady Duanmu and Jian Li Miao so it wasn’t long before Empress Dowager Su personally advised His Majesty to pass on Jian Xu Bai to the third house! Do you think that the Empress Dowager was quite willing to step in at that time?”

“It’s just a last resort due to Old Lady Duanmu’s blackmail!”

He said here, a slight smile, “Just as the Empress you just said: you have long been suspicious of me, guessing that the real culprit of last year’s smallpox matter is me, naturally, you will respond to this situation, make all sorts of responses! To ensure that one day, I throw out this card, you can not only not panic, but also take advantage of the situation with me to settle accounts!”

“Elder Lady Duanmu and Jane Li Miao, having known that Gu Shao was harboring selfishness in disposing of the smallpox matter, would they not have left a hand to prevent him from being useful in the future?”

“Just as, Elder Lady Duanmu helped me to cause Dowager Consort Nuan to give birth to King Qing with His Majesty”

“Oh yes! Such a rainy day, perhaps Your Majesty does not quite understand.”

“But surely you are very familiar with it, Empress?”

“After all, you and old lady Duanmu origin similar, it is said, this is the family valve read children from childhood developed habits: whether it seems redundant at the time, can stay hand to stay hand, may not be their own use, siblings, grandchildren and descendants can be used it?”

Lu Hehao smiled brightly, “Empress, you guessed that Old Lady Duanmu, left what backhand?”

Seeing Empress Wei’s face finally change, the color of triumph on his face intensified.

“Even if Old Lady Duanmu has her own means of targeting Minister Gu, but they are the backers of Marquis Yan, not yours!” Empress Wei lost her composure for a moment, then regained her haughty color and laughed out coldly, acerbically saying, “You’re nothing more than a pawn in her eyes! All of her backhanders, that must be reserved for the Marquis Yan could it be that she would still use them for you?!”

“And the Marquis of Yan, has fallen to King Su!”

“You don’t need to tell me that this backhandedness will be used sooner or later!”

“In that case, what reason does this palace have not to kill you?!!!”
