The villain female supporting role will never admit defeat

Chapter 226 A Secret

The next day, the emperor went to court with illness, and issued an imperial edict to make Chu Yaoguang the empress dowager, and granted him the right to handle the affairs of the court.

At the same time, rumors spread that Chu Mingyu was not of royal blood, and had been imprisoned for attempting to seek power and usurp the throne.

As long as the adults who have contributed to Chu Mingyu in this palace change, even those who are not deeply involved will be dismissed from their official positions. Those who have made great efforts will either be exiled or directly sentenced to death/penalty.

Under Chu Yaoguang's operation, Meng Zhongyu and the Meng clan were only sentenced to exile. Before leaving, she asked Chu Yaoguang for an antidote.

Chu Yaoguang smiled innocently: "It's just a pill to clear the heart and disperse the fire. You don't have to be afraid, Mr. Meng."

The corners of Meng Zhongyu's mouth twitched a few times, and he seemed quite resentful, but in the end he left without saying anything.

After bidding farewell to Meng Zhongyu, Chu Yaoguang went to see Chu Zhi.

This person was in prison and looked a bit embarrassed, but when he saw Chu Yaoguang, he was still calm and composed.

Chu Yaoguang originally thought that it would be extremely difficult to obtain the antidote from her, but he did not expect Chu Zhi to confess the hiding place of the antidote very frankly.

Such pleasure always makes people feel that there is a fraud in it and cannot be easily believed.

Perhaps seeing the distrust in Chu Yaoguang's eyes, Chu Zhi smiled: "Don't worry, I have no room to turn around. There is no benefit in hiding this kind of thing except to suffer more. It will be easier to confess earlier, not to mention -"

She paused, and her smile grew warmer.

"I'm curious, if you get the antidote, will you really present it to your empress?"

"Chu Yi recovered from illness. At her age, she can still be an emperor for at least 20 years. You have to be a princess for another 20 years. If she has another heir she likes, 20 years is enough to grow into a man." But if Chu Yi dies of illness now, the seat of the emperor must belong to you."

It has to be said that Chu Zhi's words are very provocative, if Chu Yaoguang and Chu Yi still have a rift, maybe she will really be moved by this proposal.

But now, her ambition is not so strong.

"Okay," Chu Yaoguang smiled, "Then you just wait to see our mother and daughter turn against each other."

She also blamed herself. At the beginning, she often set up the image of a ruthless and ruthless careerist in front of Chu Zhi. Now she feels that it is normal for her to harm Chu Yi for her own benefit.

Her attitude was so light and flirtatious that Chu Zhi was stunned.

"By the way, your disposal is settled. You have to guard the imperial tomb for the rest of your life. It's bitterly cold there, so prepare early." Chu Yaoguang said.

Chu Zhi nodded.

After saying this, there was nothing more to say. Chu Yaoguang turned around and walked outside without stopping.

After returning to the palace, Chu Yaoguang went directly to the Pingning Hall. The Qingyan Hall was burned down and is being rebuilt. Chu Yi is now resting here.

In summer, Chu Yi was wrapped in a thick layer of clothes, resting his chin with one hand, writing something with a calm expression.

Seeing Li, Chu Yaoguang smiled and said, "Why don't you take a good rest."

"Take a break after writing," Chu Yi said.

"I have good news for my mother." Chu Yaoguang smiled.

Chu Yi raised his eyebrows: "Speak."

"Prince Xiang has already confessed where the antidote is. It only takes three to five days to get it from Jizhou, so that the Queen Mother can recover." Chu Yaoguang said.

Chu Yi smiled and said, "Just in time, I also have good news for you."

Chu Yaoguang was puzzled: "What is it?"

Chu Yi finished writing the last stroke, put away the pen and ink, and casually threw the silk cloth to Chu Yaoguang: "Look for yourself."

Chu Yaoguang unfolded the silk cloth, looking at ten lines at a glance.

"... fluctlight... that is, the emperor's throne..."

Chu Yaoguang closed the silk cloth.

Omg it's horrible my eyesight is not working at such a young age.

Expand again.

"...that is, the emperor's throne..."

Look at the time again.

Six days later, it will be Chu Yaoguang's birthday and her coming-of-age ceremony.

Chu Yaoguang murmured: "It doesn't look like a joke..."

Chu Yi heard it, and couldn't help frowning: "What are you kidding?"

"It's nothing," Chu Yaoguang shook his head, and said seriously, "It's just that this is too urgent. When the antidote arrives, the Queen Mother's body will gradually recover, and then she will naturally regain her energy to deal with the affairs of state. It is necessary to hand over this seat to the minister so early."

"My son is still young and has little qualifications. I'm afraid he is not enough to take on this important task."

Chu Yi said: "With me behind you, what are you afraid of?"

Although the empress is very domineering, Chu Yaoguang still racked his brains to think of reasons to persuade Chu Yi: "My son..."

Chu Yi frowned at her.

"Okay," Chu Yaoguang told the truth, "The government is too busy, and I still want to enjoy a few years of leisure, and I also plan to go out with Xingyun after we get married and have a happy life."

Chu Yi snorted coldly: "You have a good idea."

He said angrily, "Where did your self-motivation go?"

"But such a big event as getting married, you can't just give it no time to rest," Chu Yaoguang said cheekily, "Do you still want a granddaughter, Mother?"

Chu Yi's eyes moved slightly, and he changed his words: "Then change it to half..."

Chu Yaoguang looked expectant.

Chu Yi said alertly: "Three months later."

Well, it's better than ascending the throne in six days.

"...Thank you, Queen Mother, for your kindness." Chu Yaoguang said.

.

The rebuilding of the burned-out building, the confiscation of the house by criminal officials, the investigation by Jizhou officials, and the approaching wedding of Chu Yaoguang and the soon-to-be coming-of-age ceremony of the Crown Princess made the palace extremely busy.

Chu Yaoguang was too busy to touch the ground, but when he was free, he remembered something about Chu Mingyu.

Just when she was going to meet Chu Mingyu, news came from Dali Temple.

The fifth prince bribed the guards to sneak into Dali Temple Prison, intending to fish out Chu Mingyu and was caught.

To be honest, after the palace change, Chu Yaoguang remembered this unsettling factor, and specially asked someone to arrest Chu Changan.It's a pity that this person is very sensitive and has already escaped.

But Chu Yaoguang didn't care, and only told Dali Temple Secretary to keep an eye on the cell, Chu Mingyu was in the capital, and Chu Changan would come back sooner or later.

Sure enough, it was all caught up.

Chu Yaoguang raised his eyebrows and headed towards Dali Temple.

She didn't go to see Chu Changan, but went directly to Chu Mingyu's cell.

"Chu Mingyu, long time no see." Chu Yaoguang nodded.

The life in the cell may be really torturous. Chu Mingyu has lost a lot of weight, her eyes are black and blue, her hair is scattered, she looks haggard, and her mental state is also very tense.

She stared at Chu Yaoguang: "What are you doing here, to see my joke?"

"You once said that you want to tell me a secret, and I want to know it now." Chu Yaoguang said calmly.

When she was imprisoned, Chu Mingyu once said that she would tell her a secret. Although she could guess that it might be a secret like time travel, she couldn't be sure.

Chu Mingyu smiled maliciously: "I said at the time that I told you before you died, and now you die immediately, I will tell you."

Chu Yaoguang said: "I can't die. If you want to die, I can satisfy you."

"fine."

Although she was curious, she didn't force it, she turned around and wanted to leave directly.

"You really look like a senior sister like me. You look alike, you have a similar temperament, and even your name is exactly the same." Chu Mingyu's voice was full of displeasure that could not be ignored.

Chu Yaoguang stopped, and she turned around suddenly, in disbelief.
