Chapter 279 The Empress Keeps a Mistress
Yu Tan's lips twitched. "My daughter! I know you often say surprising things, but what you said today is just too shocking!"
Yue Hongchen smiled. He could actually hear the little princess's thoughts?
Really interesting.

"My dear granddaughter, come with me to the banquet. Let's not look at the other men." The emperor picked up the child and ran off.

He was afraid that if he delayed even a moment, his little granddaughter would really bring the person back to the mansion.

Yue Hongchen smiled and shook her head, then followed in their footsteps.

He wanted to find out who the woman the little princess was talking about was. Which woman wanted to kill him?
The little princess fell silent again, and he felt a little anxious!
Before leaving, Lu Xiao glared fiercely at Yue Hongchen.

His daughter is his precious treasure; no one can even think about taking her away.

When they arrived at the banquet venue, all the ministers and their families were already there.

The Empress arrived with several princes.

When the Empress saw that it was the Emperor himself carrying the child in, her face turned very ugly.

He has never held any of the children born to the concubines in the harem. Is his granddaughter, who is he so fond of?
The Empress was very displeased. She had never seen him hold her son's grandson like this before.
"Your Majesty, you are the Emperor. It is inappropriate for you to hold a child. Please let a palace maid hold him!"

"Someone, quickly take the child away!"

Before the emperor could speak, the empress began to give orders to her servants.

Few children in the royal family survive to adulthood. This little bastard is the illegitimate child of the King of Qin, and the granddaughter of that old slut. She absolutely cannot let her live.

The palace maid beside the empress received the order and was about to step forward to carry the person away.

[You old hag, you actually want to harm me? Grandfather hasn't even spoken yet, what right do you have to interrupt? Are you trying to rebel?]

[You look respectable, but you do nothing right. You keep gigolos in your palace, and how many children born in the harem have you killed?]

[Grandpa, don't stop me! I'm going to fight her!]

Lu Yaoyao struggled incessantly in the emperor's arms.

The emperor's lips twitched incessantly; this granddaughter was showing him absolutely no respect!
The empress actually cheated on him?

He asked why all the children in the imperial harem had died in recent years!

He now only has two grown-up sons, the eldest prince Lu Li and the seventh prince Lu Xiao, as well as a princess who has just come of age.

The royal family's offspring are dwindling; it turns out the empress was behind it all?
puff!
puff!
puff!
Several sounds of spraying wine filled the banquet hall.

What did they hear?
The Empress actually kept a gigolo in her own palace?
No!

Was the one who just spoke the little princess in the Emperor's arms?
Several high-ranking officials sprayed their wine, for they had all heard the little princess's thoughts.

Looking at the others, whose expressions remained unchanged, could it be that only they could hear it?

The Empress heard it too, and turned pale with fright, but she had to remain calm.

How did that little bitch know her secret?
No!

She absolutely cannot let her live!

"Someone, quickly take this child away." The Empress gave a wink to the maid following behind her.

The maidservant quickly came up to take the child.

Don't touch me! You pretty boy! Your hands are poisoned!

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiao strode over and kicked the maid over.

"You want to poison my child? You deserve to die!" Lu Xiao grabbed the maid's hand, and sure enough, it wasn't a woman's hand.

This person looked a bit more robust than the average woman, with rougher hands, and had rouge on her face. If you didn't look closely, you would really just think she was a rather stout palace maid.

The palace maid's fingers were stained with some red powder.

This is arsenic; even a tiny bit of this powder falling into his daughter's mouth would kill her.

The man was caught and, terrified, knelt on the ground, crying, "Your Majesty, spare my life!"

The rough, hoarse sound confirmed the authenticity of Lu Yaoyao's true feelings.

The ministers who had just heard the inner voice were startled. The Empress took two steps back in fright, "That's not how it is!"

How could it become like this?
She just didn't like the Emperor being so nice to a lowly woman, so how did she end up dragging him into this?
【What do you mean it's not like that? Aren't you just jealous of me and want that man to carry me down and kill me?】

Serves you right! Now your kept man has been exposed!

The emperor suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth, ordering, "Guards, the empress is tired. Take her away to rest!"

You can't make a scene like this in front of others, it's too embarrassing!
"King Qin, take him away and interrogate him thoroughly." He then ordered the pretty boy to be taken away as well.

"Yes." Lu Xiao led the person away.

Without the Empress at the full moon banquet, everyone ate in an orderly fashion, and no one dared to cause trouble.

He only spoke flattering and blessing words to the little princess in the emperor's arms.

One by one, precious gifts were presented, and Lu Yaoyao was overjoyed.

These things are all hers! Hers!
Those ministers who had originally wanted to oppose the emperor's bestowal of the title of princess on Lu Yaoyao all fell silent.

What's the point of objecting? Didn't you see the Empress is under house arrest?

After the banquet ended, the emperor carried Lu Yaoyao directly to the empress's palace.

Yu Tan went back to the Prince's Mansion first. She couldn't very well go and see her father-in-law and mother-in-law make a fool of themselves, could she?

Lu Xiao, however, was worried about her daughter and went to the Empress's palace with her.

"Your Majesty, you must trust me."

As soon as the emperor arrived at the empress's palace, the empress knelt on the ground and began to complain.

Lu Xiao brought in the man who was beaten and covered in bruises.

When the Empress saw the man covered in blood after being beaten, her heartache was evident in her eyes.

The emperor's face darkened. "Is this what you call making me believe you?"

"This man has confessed! You ordered this man to kill all my children back then! And you also killed my imperial concubine!"

"I never imagined that the gentle and kind Empress would turn out like this!"

The emperor closed his eyes in anguish.

Lu Yaoyao ate her chubby hand, her eyes wide open, her intention to watch the show couldn't be clearer.

Grandpa Emperor, don't be sad. I'll be with you from now on.

Lu Yaoyao stretched out her chubby little hand to grab the emperor.

Unfortunately, her little hands wouldn't cooperate, and she couldn't grab it.

The emperor grasped the little girl's chubby hand, which was soft and squishy, ​​and his mood instantly improved. "My granddaughter still cares about me the most."

The Empress's eyes were filled with sarcasm as she listened to the Emperor's words. "Your Majesty, don't you know why I've become like this?"

"I entered the palace to marry you when I was sixteen. More than twenty years have passed, and apart from giving birth to the eldest prince with me, have you ever come to my palace? You hold a selection of concubines every year, and the number of women in the harem is increasing. Watching other women give birth to your children, I hate it! I wish they would all die!"

"Later, another Consort Ning appeared in the palace. You were with her every day. Except for the Empress's throne, you gave everything to that slut! Your heart was with that slut. When her child was born, you doted on her child. Did you ever even glance at our eldest prince?"

"How lonely it is in the harem! Do you know what it's like to be alone in an empty room? Do you know how many blue bricks are in the Empress's bedroom?"

"I count them every single night! How could you possibly understand my loneliness?"

"I keep a man only because I'm lonely in the deep palace! What did I do wrong! If it weren't for him keeping me company, I don't know if I would have survived until now. Now that you know, Your Majesty can do whatever you want!"

"I only beg Your Majesty to consider that the eldest prince is also your child and not to involve him!"

She only regretted that she hadn't been able to kill that little bastard.

She hates that bitch's granddaughter the moment she sees her!
