[Crossing the Book] The Villain Regent's Substitute Princess
Chapter 15 The Empress Dowager's Call
Luo Qiuyi picked up a bowl of snake meat, walked over to Chen Chonglin with a smile on his face, "My lord is back? I happen to be having a snake meat feast, and my lord wants to try it too?"
"Yes." Chen Chonglin took the bowl.
The moment Chen Chonglin took the bowl, Luo Qiuyi's fingertips touched his fingertips lightly.This feeling of physical contact made him unconsciously recall the beauty of Chen Chonglin on the wedding night, and his face blushed slightly.
"It's quite fresh..." Fortunately, Chen Chonglin didn't notice this, and just took a sip of the soup from the bowl, "Why do you think of having a snake meat feast?"
"Because I suddenly saw a snake in the room in the afternoon," Luo Qiuyi quickly recovered his normal expression, "I beat it to death."
"...I can't tell, you are quite brave." A trace of surprise flashed across Chen Chonglin's eyes, "Since you are so brave, why can't you protect yourself in Tianxiang Tower?"
"Oh, that means there are too many people on the other side." Luo Qiuyi pouted.
"That's right. So, you're actually pretty good at martial arts?"
"That is." Luo Qiuyi was not humble at all.
[Chen Chonglin curiosity +10. 】
Caught off guard, a strange system sound sounded in Luo Qiuyi's mind.
...?It was the first time I heard the value of "curiosity".
"Huohuo." Luo Qiuyi called out the system again in his mind, "What is the degree of curiosity?"
【Come on.Curiosity is a value that affects the chances of two people meeting each other.In other words, the higher the degree of curiosity, the more likely the target of the strategy will want to meet the host proactively, which is conducive to the improvement of favorability.So the host turned on curiosity, which is a gratifying thing! 】
"...All right." Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations, but Luo Qiuyi suddenly felt guilty—Chen Chonglin was wondering if he was really strong in martial arts, but in fact, the original owner's martial arts were not that strong...
The general ethos of the imperial court is to emphasize civility over martial arts, and the prime minister is a civil servant, so the sons of the prime minister's family are not like the sons of the general's mansion who have to practice martial arts every day.Coupled with the fact that the original owner himself is also gentle, the martial arts are even more messed up.
Now that I have learned almost all the characters of this era, do I still need to find time to practice martial arts?
It's tiring to think about it!Can't you be a salted fish?The princess is obviously such a leisurely person!
But in fact, is it possible to tell the truth to Chen Chonglin?
But will he be on his side?Will he trust Chen Yuanyuan more?
Sure enough, it was not yet the time to fully trust Chen Chonglin.It's better to have the exact evidence of Chen Yuanyuan's private pockets first.
"Chen Yuanyuan," Chen Chonglin looked at the poor butler who was still kneeling on the ground and dared not get up, "What did you do?"
"It's okay, it's just a trivial matter." Luo Qiuyi replied before Chen Yuanyuan could speak, "It's nothing more than I also prepared a bowl of snake meat for Steward Chen, but he didn't dare to eat it because he was afraid it might be poisonous...it's obviously not poisonous. But It's really a trivial matter, butler Chen, get up quickly and stop kneeling."
"Don't get up." Chen Chonglin gave the opposite order to Chen Yuanyuan with a cold face, "A slave is not qualified to question the judgment of the master."
"The slave knows it's wrong!" Chen Yuanyuan was so frightened that he hurriedly kowtowed again.
"..." Although Chen Chonglin stood on his side in this matter, Luo Qiuyi was not very happy at the moment.Hearing Chen Chonglin's words, he felt that his feudal hierarchy concept and the idea of oppressing people with power were too heavy.
"You are amazing." Chen Chonglin looked at Luo Qiuyi again, "Let these people be submissive. From now on, I will hand over all the housekeeping power to you."
"Thank you, my lord, for your trust!" Hearing this, Luo Qiuyi was really surprised.Unexpectedly, Chen Chonglin was willing to trust him so quickly.
"Do you have any objections?" Chen Chonglin looked at Chen Yuanyuan.
"The servant dare not object!" Chen Yuanyuan quickly replied, "This power should belong to the princess, and the servant will definitely hand over everything to the princess and explain everything clearly."
"It's good that you understand." Chen Chonglin nodded.
From the next day, Chen Yuanyuan really started talking to Luo Qiuyi.
He took a ledger to Luo Qiuyi.
According to the plot of the original book, Luo Qiuyi guessed that this should be a problematic ledger.
But this still needs to be verified.
However, before Luo Qiuyi had time to investigate this matter, he heard a news from the palace - the queen mother wanted to summon him.
Luo Qiu knew that the Queen Mother was not Chen Chonglin's biological mother.Chen Chonglin's biological mother was a low-status concubine who had passed away many years ago.square.report.ember.district.alone.Home.all.reason.
So, is this an ordinary meeting between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, or is there some secret behind it?
Luo Qiuyi was a little apprehensive, but he had no choice but to follow the Queen Mother's instructions and go to the palace.
"The concubine pays homage to the Queen Mother." After seeing the Queen Mother, Luo Qiu saluted in a proper manner.
"Concubine?" The legendary kind-hearted Queen Mother had an inexplicably creepy sneer on her face, "Your dress and soft tone are really perfect."
"...?!" Luo Qiuyi was startled into a cold sweat - did the Queen Mother know that she was a man?how come?Could it be that Chen Chonglin told her?But according to the plot of the original book, the relationship between Chen Chonglin and the queen mother is obviously very distant, why did you tell her such a thing? "The concubine doesn't understand what the queen mother means."
"Really? You don't know what Aijia means? Then do you know..." The queen mother made a gesture, and a woman who was tied up was escorted up, "Who is she?"
"...!"
Luo Qiuyi was too familiar with that woman's face - wasn't it almost exactly the same as the original owner's face he saw in the mirror every day? !
But he saw the woman shaking her head desperately at him with tears streaming down her face.
Luo Qiuyi understood immediately.This is the original owner's twin sister Luo Chunfu!The Queen Mother unexpectedly found her from nowhere and brought her back!
"Although this person looks very similar to me, I don't know her." Luo Qiu understood what Luo Chunfu meant by shaking her head and winking, so she had no choice but to answer.
"Really? Since you don't know... come here!" The Queen Mother gave an order with a sneer, "Put this person to death."
"Wait a minute!" Luo Qiuyi broke out in cold sweat for a while, "She didn't make any mistakes, how could the queen mother kill her casually?!"
"She offended Aijia, that's her fault." The queen mother said coldly, "A lowly woman, Aijia can be killed if she wants to, do you still need your permission, Wangfei?"
"..." Luo Qiuyi couldn't refute this sentence - this was the ancient times when the privileged class had the power of life and death.The maids and eunuchs next to the empress dowager, the emperor's concubines, and the eunuchs could be dragged down and executed at any time if they said something wrong, and no one would criticize it.If she doesn't recognize Luo Chunfu's identity, she is just a commoner.
"The concubine is guilty!" Luo Qiuyi had no choice but to kneel down and confess, "The concubine admits that she is the real Luo Chunfu... This fact is a matter of last resort, and I hope the Queen Mother can give us a chance to explain... "
"There's no need to explain." The Queen Mother interrupted him, "Your brother-in-law is weak, he couldn't stand the torture, and he has already confessed everything to Ai's family. If you committed such a crime of deceiving the emperor, even if your father is the prime minister, he can't protect you. But Now, as long as you do one thing for the Ai family, the Ai family can save your sister and brother-in-law's life."
"Yes." Chen Chonglin took the bowl.
The moment Chen Chonglin took the bowl, Luo Qiuyi's fingertips touched his fingertips lightly.This feeling of physical contact made him unconsciously recall the beauty of Chen Chonglin on the wedding night, and his face blushed slightly.
"It's quite fresh..." Fortunately, Chen Chonglin didn't notice this, and just took a sip of the soup from the bowl, "Why do you think of having a snake meat feast?"
