Chapter 273 Determination
Chu Lu looked confused, sniffing the strong smell of blood in the air, as if he had not yet recovered from what had just happened. In front of him, Lin Xiao, Taifu, Li Wenyuan, Liu Jiajia... four bodies, still warm, were lying on the floor tiles, with blood flowing like branches.

Outside the palace gate, some palace guards could be vaguely seen, but they all stood far away, with their heads lowered, not daring to even breathe, let alone approach or whisper. The air was filled with not only the smell of blood, but also a fear that penetrated deep into the bones.

Chu Lu slowly turned his stiff neck and glanced at the palace guards who lowered their eyebrows and looked obedient. Everyone who looked at him looked away quickly as if they were pricked by a needle, with fear in their eyes that could not be concealed.

He felt a ridiculous sense of powerlessness.

Chu Lu couldn't help but ask, his voice extremely hoarse: "Do you think what just happened is reasonable?"

No one answered.

He asked again: "A princess of a country, in the palace hall, in front of the emperor and the courtiers, wantonly slaughtered important officials and guards, without even a decent rebuke or stop. And I, the emperor, can only watch helplessly, but can do nothing?"

Still dead silent. The palace guards lowered their heads even lower, their bodies trembling slightly, their eyes dodging, fearing that Chu Lu would notice them, just like students avoiding the teacher's call in class.

Chu Lu was a little agitated, and asked again: "What is going on? Why is it like this? Why can't I, the emperor, protect my own subjects? Why can Jiang Miaoyan be so unscrupulous? Don't you find it strange?!"

However, no one dared to answer. Or rather, no one could answer. They just lowered their heads even more, as if they wanted to shrink themselves into the cracks in the ground.

Chu Lu looked at this scene and suddenly seemed deflated, and did not continue to ask questions.

In fact, he knew better than these people themselves why they dared not resist.

In the face of the halo of the unreasonable heroine, the so-called ethics between the monarch and his subjects, and the social rules and regulations, are so fragile that they can be easily damaged. All means that conform to common sense are meaningless.

The reason for the question just now was not because I really wanted an answer, but otherwise I would not be able to vent the anger that was pent up in my chest.

"Ha..." Chu Lu sighed, then said weakly, "Someone come."

"I'm here." A eunuch came up with his head held high.

"Deal with their... bodies properly." Chu Lu said.

"The slave obeys the order."

Then Chu Lu turned around, left this hell on earth with light steps, and walked towards the imperial study.

Returning to the imperial study, Chu Lu dismissed his attendants and left himself alone.

He sat on the chair and closed his eyes, replaying the bloody scenes in his mind, as well as Jiang Miaoyan's cold eyes and final threat when she left.

“This is just the beginning.”

"If you don't agree today, more people will die tomorrow."

"Your harem, your courtiers... I will kill them all one by one until you surrender."

"Or...if you really don't want to, then I can just find another emperor who is willing."

He opened his eyes again and said, "Qin Su."

"I'm here." Qin Su said.

"She took action." Chu Lu's tone calmed down. "Now it seems that she is not bluffing. Why did you make a wrong judgment?"

"I probably...overestimated the heroine's rationality." Qin Su thought for a moment and explained, "After all, we haven't pushed a heroine to this extent before. So I didn't expect that she would just suffer such a small setback and start to break the jar and completely ignore the development of her own story line."

Chu Lu was silent for a moment, then a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "Since this is the case, there is no way to avoid it... Then there is no other way but to kill her." All the previous delays, calculations, and attempts to maintain superficial peace have vanished in the face of the bloody massacre just now. Jiang Miaoyan has completely torn her face, and Chu Lu has no choice.

If he continues to delay, everyone around him will die one by one, and in the end even he will not be able to escape. There is no point in doing this.

Surrender is absolutely not allowed, so the only way left is to fight back.

Qin Su heard this and a complicated expression appeared on her face. She knew that Chu Lu was right and this was his only solution. But the problem was that this solution itself was unrealistic.

"It's not difficult to kill her." Qin Su asked, "The problem is the follow-up. Once Jiang Miaoyan dies, the organization will definitely notice something unusual. The sudden death of the heroine is the most obvious signal. They will immediately lock onto this copy and descend directly. How will you respond then?"

Chu Lu frowned. What Qin Su said was exactly what he was most worried about.

This seemed to be a dead end. If he didn't kill her, she would continue to kill people, pushing him to the limit, and the final outcome would be unpredictable; if he killed her, he would expose his position and bring about a catastrophe.

He began to think.

The imperial study was silent, with only the sound of Chu Lu's fingers tapping unconsciously on the armrest.

How can we kill Jiang Miaoyan without alerting the organization immediately?
Poisoning? No, the method is not the point.

Accident? No, it's too difficult to do it with the heroine's halo.

Put the blame on others? Get rid of suspicion? Still no way. Although they don't have the ability to investigate the case, but relying on the halo of the heroine, no one can lie in front of them, and there is a high probability that they will still be found out.

Chu Lu thought about it again and again, going through all the possibilities in his mind, and then rejected them one by one. It seemed that no matter what he did, he could not kill Jiang Miaoyan without alerting the organization.

Is there really no solution?
Just when Chu Lu was about to fall into despair, a thought flashed through his mind like lightning.

An extremely crazy and risky idea, but one that does not seem impossible.

He sat up straight abruptly, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

"Qin Su," Chu Lu's voice was a little excited, "I have an idea."

"What is it?"

He quickly recounted the plan that had just been formed to Qin Su in his mind.

After listening to this, Qin Su was unusually silent for a long time, so long that Chu Lu thought she had crashed.

"Are you sure?" Qin Su's voice was filled with unprecedented shock and disbelief. "This plan is too presumptuous. Such a crude approach will be seen through at a glance, right?"

"But theoretically, is it possible to succeed?" Chu Lu asked.

"In theory? Well, in theory..." Qin Su admitted with difficulty, "If you are lucky enough, it is indeed possible to succeed. But you also need to be lucky enough!"

"That's enough." Chu Lu's eyes flashed with determination, "It's better than just sitting there and waiting to die, or being surrounded and attacked by the organization right after killing her!"

As for the risks...Hasn't he experienced enough risks? At this point, there is no way out, so he can only take this gamble! He stood up, and the original feeling of loss and despair was swept away, replaced by a determination to burn his boats.

"Then do it."
