Chapter 41 Conflicts intensify

The next day, the queen was very unhappy while drinking her tea.

Last night she went to eavesdrop on the sound from the corner, but she spent the whole night there and still didn't hear the sound she wanted.

"The emperor has really changed his personality. He can even hold back after being drugged." The queen's face was gloomy.

First he suddenly attacked and killed Liu Fenggu, and now he refuses to have a child and remains calm while a woman is in his arms.

Unexpected things happened one after another. Although she was reluctant to admit it, the queen felt a little panicked.

What should I do? the queen thought.

"Empress, I have an idea." At this time, the palace maid Chunhua suddenly said, "I don't know whether I should tell you or not."

"Go ahead," the queen said, "you have been with me since you were little, so you don't need to be so cautious."

"Yes." Chunhua nodded and said, "Since the emperor doesn't want to have a daughter, and we can't force her, then why don't we just not let her have one? Tell the public that she is dying, and then just adopt a daughter from the clan, right?"

The queen was stunned and said stupidly, "Adopt a daughter? No, it's not possible."

She shook her head and said, "After all, an adopted daughter is not as legitimate as a biological daughter. There are still some people in the court who are on the emperor's side. When the time comes, they will definitely do something secretly. It's not safe."

"Then what should we do?"

The queen pondered for a moment, waved her hand and said, "Double the dosage!"

A few days passed after that.

During these few days, the amount of medicine in Chu Lu's dinner doubled every day, and soon he went from putting medicine in food to putting medicine in food.

The number of concubines sent here increased day by day, and there was almost no room for them to lie down in the room.

Although Chu Lu kept complaining in his heart, he basically remained calm. However, the Queen became more and more restless.

"We can't go on like this. We must think of a way. Otherwise, she will really think she is better than me!" The queen said viciously, biting her nails.

She wanted to go find Chu Lu in person, but the last disastrous defeat was still fresh in her mind, and going again would most likely bring humiliation upon herself.

"Let's go find Liu Jin'er. Yes, go find her!" The queen's eyes lit up.

She thought that her sister was very clever and had many tricks. If she could control her sister last time, she would definitely be able to control her sister this time.

"Let's go! To Liu Mansion." The queen stood up and said.

Soon, the queen left the palace and came to Liu Mansion.

After arriving home, she followed etiquette and went to see her mothers first to ask about their well-being, then greeted some closer relatives, and only then mentioned Liu Jiner.

However, when the Queen mentioned Liu Jiner, her mother's expression suddenly became subtle.

"She is in her room now."

"In the room? It's already afternoon. She's still staying in the room obediently? This is not like her." said the queen.

"It's not just this afternoon." Stepmother said at this time: "She has locked herself in the room for several days."

The queen frowned slightly: "What happened to her? Is someone bullying her?"

"We don't know either. She wouldn't tell us when we asked her." Stepmother said meaningfully, "We only know that she became like this the last time she came back from the palace."

The queen's expression changed slightly, and a feeling of uneasiness suddenly rose in her heart.

"I'll go and take a look!" said the queen immediately.

When she arrived at Liu Jiner's boudoir, she pushed the door open and walked in.

Liu Jin'er heard footsteps and the sound of the door opening, and subconsciously shouted angrily: "Who is it?! Didn't I tell you not to come in?"

"it's me."

Hearing the Queen's voice, Liu Jin'er was startled, then she came out and said, "Sister?"

"What's wrong with you? What happened after you went to see the emperor last time?" the queen asked straight to the point.

"Um, I, I..." Liu Jin'er looked scared.

"Don't be afraid, I'll support you, just tell the truth!"

Liu Jin'er seemed to have found her backbone. She nodded and told him everything.

The queen's face turned dark when she heard this.

She originally thought that it was Liu Jin'er who was going to bully the emperor, but she didn't expect it to be the other way around.

"This is too much! This is absolutely too much! Who does she think she is?" The queen was furious.

The frustration and dissatisfaction accumulated during this period of time completely erupted at this moment.

"Chunhua, let's go." The Queen said angrily, "This time, I want an explanation no matter what!"

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Chu Lu was still basking in the sun leisurely.

His face became a little rosy, and it was obvious that the effect of his recuperation during this period was very obvious.

"Dog Emperor! Get out here!" The Queen's angry roar came from outside.

"Are you finally here?" Chu Lu could guess the queen's purpose without thinking. He stood up, holding a silver needle between his fingers, and walked out calmly, with Little Li following behind him.

Soon they met the Queen.

When the queen saw Chu Lu, she immediately sneered, drew out her imperial sword, pointed it at Chu Lu and said, "You bastard emperor! You are so bold! You even dare to humiliate my sister!"

"Compared to you who dares to humiliate even the emperor, what I do is nothing." Chu Lu said.

"Hmph, that's enough. Stop showing off your eloquence here. I'm not here to engage in a verbal battle with you." The queen said coldly, "You should go to Liu's mansion and apologize for your crime now!"

Is this the same thing again? How boring, Chu Lu thought.

"What if I don't go?" He taunted, "Are you going to threaten me with the Imperial Sword again? And then act out the deep love between master and servant."

"Oh. Your Majesty, do you think I'm using the imperial sword to deal with you?" The Queen's expression suddenly changed, revealing an extremely vicious smile. "I'm using it to protect myself. Your Majesty, you were so wise in the past, but now you've become so shameless and despicable. This must be the work of Concubine Ping's wronged spirit after her death, which has blinded Your Majesty's mind. If Your Majesty still refuses to admit her mistake, then I will go and scatter Concubine Ping's ashes! Let that dustpan monster not dare to mess around again!"

After finishing speaking, the queen was very pleased. She had used this rhetoric to force Xu Li Niang to drink the poison last time, and she believed that she would succeed this time as well.

She looked at Chu Lu, expecting his face to be distorted with anger.

However, Chu Lu was extremely calm.

"Then let's raise it." Chu Lu said.

"What did you say?" The queen was stunned.

Then she said in disbelief: "I am going to scatter Concubine Ping's ashes!"

"Well. Go ahead." Chu Lu said, "If this is not enough, you can also burn Concubine Xian, Concubine Min, Concubine Jing... all the concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards, and scatter their ashes. I will never stop you. It's just..."

Chu Lu approached the queen step by step, not afraid of the imperial sword in her hand at all.

He stood before the queen and said, "For every person you kill now, I will make you pay tenfold in the future."

Chu Lu spoke calmly, but there was a bloody smell in his tone.

The queen felt a chill in her heart, as if the person speaking in front of her was not the emperor Xu Li Niang, but a madman who would kill an entire family at any time.

The queen subconsciously took two steps back. After she did so, her face immediately changed, and she realized that something was wrong and that she had shown her weakness.

The whole person's momentum dropped all of a sudden.

"Since you are scared, then go away." Chu Lu said.

The queen was so angry that her face turned red, but she also knew that if she stayed any longer, it would only make her more embarrassed, so she turned around and left without saying a word.

It was not until she returned to Kunning Palace that she began to vent her anger. She roared loudly and smashed all the tables, chairs and stools in the palace to pieces.

"Ahhhhh! Xu Li Niang! Xu Li Niang!" the Queen screamed hysterically.

The palace maids nearby were so frightened that they hid in the corner and dared not get close.

"Ha, ha, ha." After smashing for a while, the queen stopped and gasped.

"Chunhua, come here." The queen suddenly called.

"Yes." Chunhua came over, looking nervous. After venting her anger, the queen's expression calmed down, but her eyes became colder, as if she had made up her mind.

"I've decided. I'll do as you said before."

"Huh? What?"

The queen looked at her and said, "I want to find an adopted daughter for the emperor!"

########
Two days later, in the early morning, Chu Lu was suddenly woken up and told to attend the morning court.

This made Chu Lu immediately alert.

How could I be called to attend the morning court when my situation was almost like that of being deposed?
It was obvious that the Queen was playing some trick.

Xu Li Niang: "Strange, there was no such thing in my previous life. What is she doing?"

Chu Lu: "It doesn't matter. When an enemy comes, we will fight him; when water comes, we will block it with earth. Just counter it as it comes."

He stood up, let the palace maid change into the yellow robe, and then left the Yangxin Palace.

Qianqing Gate

Chu Lu sat on the throne, overlooking the civil and military officials below.

The civil and military officials did not dare to look up at Chu Lu, but even though he could not see their expressions, Chu Lu could feel that the atmosphere was a bit weird.

Chu Lu said in his heart: "Is there something wrong here? What is the procedure for your morning court?"

Xu Li Niang said: "After everyone arrives, they must first perform the ritual of bowing three times, and then the officials of the Honglu Temple report the number of people who came to the capital to express gratitude and left the capital to resign, and then other departments report their situations one by one... Like today, no one said anything, it is really strange."

At this time, the sound of footsteps was heard, and the queen, dressed in gorgeous clothes, walked slowly towards them, surrounded by several palace maids.

As soon as she arrived, she immediately attracted the attention of civil and military officials, who began to kowtow and salute her.

Chu Lu narrowed his eyes, wondering if the Queen was demonstrating?
After the queen arrived, she came to the special seat, held out her hand and said, "My dear ministers, please stand up."

After all the civil and military officials stood up and the Qianqing Gate became quiet again, the Queen slowly said, "Today, I have an important matter to discuss with you."

"This matter is of great importance and is related to the private affairs of the royal family. It should not be discussed publicly, but the situation is urgent and I have to make special arrangements." The queen said slowly: "I plan to adopt a girl from the clan to fill the position of the crown prince."

Chu Lu was stunned.

Xu Li Niang in his mind suddenly screamed: "What is she going to do?!"

The civil and military officials were also in an uproar.

"Queen, this is absolutely not allowed!" An old woman stood up with a look of shock on her face.

She was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, named Zhao Chongli, and was one of the few people in the court who stood on Xu Li Niang's side. She said loudly, "The position of the Crown Prince is of great importance. How can it be so casual? The Emperor is young and strong, and it is only a matter of time before he gives birth to a child. Why does he need to adopt a child?"

"Alas." The Queen sighed, "If the Emperor could give birth to a child, why would I resort to such a desperate measure? This should be a royal secret and should not be made known to the public, but now that things have come to this, I can do nothing about it. The Emperor...is no longer able to do it!"

Minister Zhao was stunned: "Ah?"

The Queen continued, "Although the Emperor is young, his body has long been hollowed out. Every time he has sex, he has to put in a lot of effort to prepare, and then after a few moments, it's... gone. That's why I have never had any children."

After saying this, the queen started to sob.

The atmosphere on the scene became extremely strange.

In Chu Lu's mind, Xu Li Niang began to roar crazily: "Slander, this is all slander! Nonsense! I'm not drained! I'm super brave! I can do it seven times a night! You vicious woman, what nonsense!"

Minister Zhao also reacted, and in shock, he looked directly at Chu Lu and asked, "Your Majesty, is this true?"

"It's fake." Chu Lu said.

"Minister Zhao, please stop asking. Who would admit to such an embarrassing question?" The Queen said, "After all, the fact that the Emperor has three palaces and six concubines, but none of them is pregnant, speaks volumes."

"Nonsense! Nonsense!" Xu Li Niang continued to roar in Chu Lu's mind, "I just wanted Concubine Ping to give birth to her first child, so I have been controlling her secretly! There is nothing wrong with me, I am too good!"

However, Minister Zhao looked at the two of them suspiciously and chose to believe Chu Lu.

"Impossible! Even if there is a hidden illness, you should take medicine to treat it first. Why are you in such a hurry to adopt a branch of the clan? I think you, the queen, have other plans, right?" Minister Zhao said angrily, "You want to depose the emperor and establish another young ruler so that you can control the government!"

"Minister Zhao, you can't talk nonsense." The queen narrowed her eyes.

"Okay. Queen, you said at the beginning that the emperor was seriously ill and that's why you were reluctantly acting as the governor. Now I see that the emperor is in good condition. Since you have no ambitions, how about returning the government to the emperor?" Minister Zhao said.

The Queen's face turned cold; Minister Zhao had already touched her bottom line.

"Someone, Minister Zhao is ill. Take her away to rest!" said the Queen.

Several soldiers came immediately and carried Minister Zhao out.

Minister Zhao was furious and cursed: "Poisonous woman! Poisonous woman who brings disaster to the country and the people! You shall not die a good death!"

Minister Zhao's voice gradually faded away.

The Queen looked around at the others and said, "Do you have any objections?"

Most of the people who stayed here were from the Liu family, so naturally no one spoke.

The queen showed a smug smile, then looked at Chu Lu and said, "Your Majesty, do you have any objections?"

Chu Lu glanced at her, then looked at the civil and military officials below and said, "I don't want to do this, but is there anyone willing to help me?"

There was silence below.

"I see." Chu Lu looked around at everyone, memorized all their faces, and then said, "Since no one is willing, then let's listen to the queen."

The queen looked more and more pleased. She stood up and said, "Dismiss the court!"

Return to the Hall of Mental Cultivation

At this time, Xu Li'niang gradually calmed down from her anger and began to worry.

"Chu Lu, what should we do? I didn't expect that the Queen would use such cruel means!" Xu Li Niang said, "How about... we just give in? Cooperate and have a baby. This is better than watching her adopt a son."

"No." Chu Lu shook his head.

"Chu Lu, don't be stubborn. Don't you still want to buy time?"

“There’s no need to fight for it anymore.”

"what?"
