Chapter 57: This crap is useless.
Outside the Qin Palace.
Chu Lu was furious. He first ordered his men to surround Prince Qin's palace to ensure that no one could escape, and then walked in alone with his sword.
Anyway, he has made up his mind. If the other party is obedient and cooperates honestly, then let them die quickly. If they don't cooperate, then they will be quartered.
However, at this time, Xu Liniang's voice sounded in his mind.
"Chu Lu, that... King Qin is my aunt." Xu Liniang said.
"Oh." Chu Lu said casually.
"No, Chu Lu!" Xu Liniang said anxiously, "Prince Qin is my aunt! My mother's biological sister, she has watched me grow up since she was a child!"
"good."
"Chu Lu! Don't kill her!" Xu Liniang shouted anxiously.
Chu Lu: "Well, I will kill her whole family."
"Chu Lu ah ah ah ah!" Xu Liniang screamed.
"Hiss, hiss." Chu Lu suddenly took a breath of cold air and felt that his brain was buzzing.
"Chu Lu, please." Xu Liniang begged: "The King of Qin has been very good to me. If I kill her just like this, I will not be able to sleep well in the future. Please at least give her a way to live, no, at least give her a way to survive." Take a chance!”
"Okay." Chu Lu thought for a moment that he had to take care of the other person's emotions when he was helping others, otherwise the good kindness would be compromised, so he said: "As long as King Qin cooperates honestly, admits his mistakes obediently, and clears the relationship with Liu Jinli, I will let her go, but she will persist in her persistence..."
"I understand, I understand." Xu Liniang nodded repeatedly and said, "Then I won't object to anything you do."
"Very good." Chu Lu nodded with satisfaction.
Arriving at the palace, a servant immediately came to greet him, nodded and bowed, and said humbly: "Long live the Emperor."
"Stop talking nonsense, where is King Qin?" Chu Lu said.
"The old prince is seriously ill and cannot come out to receive her. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me. She is waiting in the main hall now. I will take you there right now."
Chu Lu didn't say anything and followed the servant forward. Soon he came to the main hall and saw King Qin.
King Qin was obviously in the mood to put on a show. He was wrapped in a thick quilt, with several bowls of medicine on the table. His face seemed to be powdered and he looked quite pale.
When she saw Chu Lu, she immediately stood up slowly, as if it was very difficult, and wanted to salute Chu Lu.
"Okay, stop pretending." Chu Lu was anxious to settle the score with Liu Jinli and really had no interest in talking nonsense with her. "Hand over the Crown Princess."
King Qin immediately sneered: "The emperor arrived suddenly and asked for the imperial concubine without saying a word. Did he go on a killing spree last night and his brain was damaged? He wants to imitate that playboy and rob the people..."
Boom, there was a sudden muffled sound.
The table with the medicine was cut into two pieces and fell to the ground. The medicine bowl was smashed, and the fragments and medicine soup flew everywhere.
Chu Lu held the sword and looked at King Qin and said: "This sword should have fallen on your neck. Thanks to my kindness, you are still alive. But if I push Lai Lai again... I can only say that I have Kindness, but not much.”
King Qin looked at the mess on the ground and immediately turned pale.
Chu Lu's fierceness and decisiveness, and his straightforward methods were beyond her expectations.
She originally thought that when the two met, they would start to have a verbal exchange and have some exchanges.
There were all kinds of things hidden in the fabric, there were hints in the words, overt praise and covert criticism, at least they talked for a while, and then Chu Lu was beaten back and forth by her, and was speechless.
After that, you either leave wisely, or you become angry.
If it was the latter, she would curse loudly, making her blush and run away in shame.
But unexpectedly, before the two met and said a few words, Chu Lu had already drawn a knife and threatened.
"Okay! Okay! Your Majesty is so impatient! But you are not worthy of beheading me!" King Qin simply changed his strategy and was about to use the method of pressing the bottom of the box directly. She took out something heavy from the quilt. He threw the ground forward and said, "Open your eyes and see what this is!"
When Chu Lu heard the words, he looked over and saw that it was an ironware made of fine iron. The edges of the ironware were covered with exquisite patterns and decorations, and densely packed text was engraved in vermilion alchemy in the middle.
"Alchemy Book Iron Coupon?" Chu Lu said the name of this thing.
"That's right, it's the Iron Scroll of the Alchemy Book, or the Iron Book of the Alchemy Book that your mother gave me personally!" King Qin said with a proud face: "With this iron scroll, you can avoid the death penalty. This is what your mother personally promised! You Do you still dare to kill?"
Chu Lu looked strange and said, "So this is your confidence?"
"That's right!"
Chu Lu looked at the iron certificate of the alchemy book and then at King Qin, the expression on his face became more and more subtle: "Okay, I understand."
He put down his sword.
King Qin's face became more and more proud when he saw this: "That's right! Go back to your palace. My background is not as small as yours... hmm? What are you doing?"
Chu Lu grabbed the iron coupon of the alchemy book, looked at King Qin expressionlessly, and then waved it fiercely.
The Alchemy Iron Coupon was made of fine iron and was originally heavy. However, the one in the hands of King Qin, a gift from the late emperor, was particularly delicate and large in size, so it was much heavier.
Chu Lu swung past, and King Qin immediately saw stars in his eyes and his ears buzzed, as if he was in the middle of a big bell being struck.
Chu Lu swung it again, and King Qin's nose was half crooked and dripping with blood, but it was like opening a soy sauce shop, with salty, sour, and spicy things rolling out.
Chu Lu then swung it again. The edges of King Qin's eyes were cracked and black beads burst out. It was like opening a shop of colorful silk, with red, black and purple all blooming out.
He beat back and cursed: "It's the same thing again, it's the same thing again!"
"Do you have any new tricks on your female channel?"
"I've broken Shang Fang's sword, but you're useless as a broken elixir book."
"Ahhhh! Your Majesty! Stop it, stop it!"
When the people in the palace who had been observing secretly saw this scene, they could no longer hold back and rushed forward one after another.
Chu Lu didn't panic when he saw this.
He threw the iron certificate of the alchemy book aside and picked up the long sword again. After all, it was not easy to use it to hit people.
Then he faced the group of tall servants.
With sharp weapons in their hands and martial arts in their hands, although the palace servants were outnumbered and powerful, how could they be Chu Lu's opponent?
Dong-dong-dong, the head fell to the ground, clatter, blood flowed. Chu Lu walked in while killing, with great momentum.
The movement was spread to the inner room of the palace.
The Crown Prince turned pale and said, "It's over, the Emperor has called in!"
"Husband." At this time, another delicate voice sounded.
Beside the prince, there was a beautiful woman.
She has black hair like a waterfall, mutton-fat jade skin, and a soft and frail face. She is Liu Jinli, the concubine of the Liu family.
Liu Jinli said: "Husband, what should we do?"
"The top priority is to run away first." The prince said, "Don't be afraid, madam, I will never let the emperor capture you!"
Boom!
As soon as the prince finished speaking, he heard a loud noise and the door of the house was kicked open hard.
The two of them were startled, turned around and saw Chu Lu walking in, covered in blood.
The cold eyes and the strong smell of blood were like evil spirits crawling out of hell. They were so frightened that their hearts stopped for a moment.
Chu Lu looked at the two of them, his eyes fell on Liu Jinli, and he guessed her identity based on the other person's gorgeous clothes.
"Are you Liu Jinli?" Chu Lu asked. Liu Jinli's face turned pale and he protected the prince in front of him.
And the prince saw Chu Lu's face covered in blood, and a strong uneasiness rushed straight to his forehead.
She shouted loudly: "Where is my mother? What happened to my mother? What did you do to my mother?!"
Chu Lu then looked at her and said, "Are you the prince?"
The prince turned a deaf ear and shouted loudly: "My mother..."
Pfft.
The sword penetrated the prince's throat. The latter looked shocked, then fell to the ground and died.
Then he looked at Liu Jinli again and found that the latter's legs were trembling with fear and his face was in a daze. When he noticed Chu Lu's gaze, he sat down with a thud.
"That's it?" Chu Lu raised his eyebrows and said, "You were so arrogant in the letter, why do you act so virtuous when we meet? Didn't you say you want me to understand who I can't afford to offend?"
"I, I, I..." Liu Jinli was trembling, unable to speak clearly.
Seeing the idiot's appearance, Chu Lu suddenly lost his interest in provocation.
It was difficult to interrogate in the palace, so he carried Liu Jinli outside, threw it to his men, and took him back to the imperial prison, where he also threw everyone else in the palace into the cells.
Since the question to be asked was more important, Chu Lu asked everyone else to leave and prepared to interrogate him personally.
Being locked up in the prison, Liu Jinli huddled up into a ball, like a frightened rabbit.
Chu Lu looked at her and said: "I already know about the conspiracy between you and the queen. The queen also truthfully repeated the words you said at the beginning. What's 'This has always been the case, is it right?', what's 'everyone's life' And equality', I heard it all. So I asked straight to the point, don't pretend to be stupid for me anymore, this way I save time, you are exempted from the penalty, and it is good for everyone, do you understand? "
Liu Jinli nodded with fear on his face.
"Very good." Chu Lu said, "Then let me tell you straight, did you come through time?"
"Ah?" Liu Jinli was stunned, "Through it? Cross it? Then, what is that?"
Chu Lu frowned, sighed and said, "I told you not to act stupid."
Then he casually picked up a torture instrument and introduced it to Liu Jinli: "This thing is called a clamping stick, and it is the mildest of the torture instruments. Have you seen these three wooden stiles? If you don't do it from the truth, I will use them to pierce your wrists." Clamp it, and then tighten the rope. Every time you tighten it, you will feel the pain as if your bones are being crushed. If you think this is nothing, then there is this..."
Tiger bench, pepper water, finger shackles, nose pliers, nail board...
Every time Chu Lu introduced a torture instrument, Liu Jinli's face turned paler. Later, he looked as if he was about to ascend to heaven.
"Are you going to say it now?" Chu Lu asked.
"I, I, I really don't know what time travel is." Liu Jinli was about to cry.
"Then how do you know these words?" Chu Lu asked again.
"That's, that's, that's..." Liu Jinli stammered, looking hesitant.
"It seems that you won't die until you reach the Yellow River." Chu Lu stood up, "Then I'll give you a punishment first."
"Ahhhhh! No! No!" Seeing that Chu Lu was really about to come in and take action, Liu Jinli was so frightened that he backed away and his emotions collapsed instantly: "I said it, I said it!"
"Wouldn't it be better if this was the case? How on earth do you know this?"
"Yes, it was my maid Cuihua who told me." Liu Jinli whispered.
"Girl." Chu Lu was stunned, and then suddenly remembered the queen's confession.
——At first she just came to say hello to me, with a silly-looking maid behind her.
"Please explain it clearly." Chu Lu asked: "What is the origin of that maid? How did she learn about it? Why did she tell you this?"
"This... Cuihua has a very ordinary origin. She was a farmer in the countryside who couldn't afford to raise her daughter, so she was sold to the government. She usually worked hard and was silly, so everyone didn't like her very much. Also It’s just that I am a concubine with no status, so I have no choice but to accept her.”
"She suddenly changed when one day she was caught in a heavy rain and fell ill. She was very ill, but she had no money to buy medicine. She was dying, so I ordered people to pack her up and throw her into the woodshed to die. . Unexpectedly, she suddenly recovered."
"After that, Cuihua seemed to be a different person. She became more agile and smarter. One night, she even came to me and asked me what my plans are for the future."
"She said that I am just a concubine who is not favored by the Liu family. From now on, I will either marry a useless petty official as my wife, or I will be someone else's concubine. Will I be willing to watch the other sisters become prosperous and have a noble status?"
"Of course I wasn't willing to give in. So she said she had a way to help me enjoy a lifetime of glory. She said that she dreamed of a god when she was sick, and the god taught her these ways. She herself was from a humble background and couldn't use these means, so She just wanted to help me, and I hope I can help her when the time comes.”
Chu Lu frowned and thought to himself: Coming back to life after a serious illness? Like a different person again? Still dreaming about gods? That's right, this one named Cuihua is a time traveler!
"Since you married into the Prince of Qin's Mansion, Cuihua, as your maid, should also come with you, right?" Chu Lu said immediately: "Just in case, I arrested all the servants of the Prince of Qin's Mansion. Get up, come with me, and tell me which Cuihua is."
"Um... Cuihua is not in Prince Qin's Mansion now."
"Huh? What did you say?"
"Cuihua did come here as a dowry at the beginning and has been staying with me, but yesterday when she saw the emperor leading your army to rampage in the city, she left a letter, gave me a few words, and then left." Liu Jinli said. : "She left two letters in total. The first one has been entrusted to be delivered to you, the Emperor."
"She said that if the emperor is smart enough, after reading the first letter, he will not embarrass the Qin Palace. But if the emperor refuses to give up, and if the Qin Palace is in trouble, then hand over the second letter, at least it can Keep me safe." Liu Jinli took out a letter from his arms and said, "Your Majesty, this is it."
Chu Lu was stunned and took the letter in surprise.
