Chapter 272 Misunderstanding?

Chapter 1 Accumulated Years Destroyed

Years of accumulation destroyed.

At this moment,

Jiang Zuo Wang even had the thought of perishing together with Jiang Chen!

Looking at that smug face so close, he really wished he could pounce on him and strangle this dog who relied on luck to ascend the throne.

But Jiang Zuo Wang ultimately held back.

Years of self-cultivation came into play at this time.

His voice trembled slightly as he said, "Your Majesty, this subject dares not speak carelessly about such a treasonous matter. Please seek someone more capable."

Jiang Chen heard the unusual tone in his voice, but he didn't expose it. He smiled and said, "It's fine. I just want to hear you say it."

"After all, this kind of thing, we still have to listen to the person involved. After all, it's your hard-earned army, Royal Uncle. It's just been wiped out by me in one go. I'm really afraid you'll be too angry and not last until the moment I announce your crimes."

"While I still have patience and am willing to deal with you, say it and vent. I can also find some amusement."

These words were too damaging. Even with Jiang Zuo Wang's composure, he was so angered that his blood rushed to his head and his eyes turned black.

"What Your Majesty said, this subject really doesn't understand... General Xu suppressing the rebellion for the imperial court is a joyous event. This subject is overjoyed, so how could I be angry?"

"Your Majesty, please don't make fun of this subject!" Jiang Zuo Wang squeezed out a smile, his heart bleeding.

Jiang Chen, however, withdrew his smile at this moment, his expression indifferent. "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. I just want to tell you to prepare for your funeral, because you don't have many days left to live!"

"Don't think that a small Zhenhai Regional Commander can save your life. As long as I want, I can end you at any time!"

Sensing the chilling murderous intent coming towards him, a hint of fear flashed in Jiang Zuo Wang's eyes, but he didn't show weakness in his words: "Your Majesty, if you are confident, you can just kill this subject directly. Why bother with so much talk?"

"After saying so much, this subject still has the same words: the innocent are innocent. Even if you search the entire Imperial Capital, you won't be able to find the so-called 'evidence'!"

Hearing this, Jiang Chen snorted coldly, "Royal Uncle, then I might as well tell you, the Son of Heaven kills people without needing a reason!"

"If it weren't for the concerns about the criticisms from the court and the people, I would have taken your head long ago."

"However, you won't be able to live much longer either. When I remove your last remaining forces, it will be your death date... Cherish the last moments of your life."

After speaking, Jiang Chen flicked his sleeves and stood up, knowing that Jiang Zuo Wang wouldn't shed tears until he saw the coffin, and there would be no gain in continuing to waste time.

"This subject respectfully sees Your Majesty off!" Jiang Zuo Wang also stood up and respectfully saluted, but his lowered eyes were full of resentment.

Although he spoke firmly, he was still apprehensive about Jiang Chen in his heart. This tyrant always kept his word. Now that he came to warn him, he must really have murderous intentions towards him.

The plan must be accelerated...

In the strange atmosphere, Jiang Chen walked to the door, as if remembering something, he paused and said, "By the way, Royal Uncle, I'll tell you another piece of news."

"These days, Consort Lü has served me very satisfactorily, so I specially bestowed a favor upon her... that is, the prince she bore for me also has the qualification to compete for the position of Crown Prince."

"Royal Uncle, you were taken care of by Consort Lü when you were growing up, so you should be happy for her, right? However, the only pity is that Royal Uncle, you are destined not to live to see that day."

"However, for the sake of Consort Lü, after I send you to the underworld, I will burn more paper money for you, so that you can truly be a wealthy idler underground, which can also be considered accumulating merit for my unborn child!"

After speaking, Jiang Chen's eyes revealed sarcasm and disdain, and he flung his sleeves and left.

Leaving Jiang Zuo Wang, who was stunned in place with scarlet eyes, to vent his anger in the empty courtyard.

"Ah! Jiang Chen, you beastly bastard!!"

"You actually dare to defile your own father's woman!!"

"Adulterer and *****, may you die a horrible death!!!"

...

Leaving Autumn Leaf Hall, Jiang Chen went to Eternal Joy Palace.

Consort Lü had been paying attention to his movements and was waiting early at the palace gate, wearing a red dress that cinched her waist, with a face like peach blossoms, like a blooming peony, noble and beautiful in a way that was hard to look away from.

Jiang Chen's imperial chariot did not stop, driving straight to the front door of her bedroom, as if he were favoring a concubine, without any attempt to avoid suspicion.

"Consort, it seems that you have lost a lot of weight since I last saw you, which makes me feel a little sorry for you."

Jiang Chen paced in her private boudoir, a frivolous smile on his face, approaching step by step: "However, you are still so beautiful, so charming."

As he spoke, he reached out and pinched Consort Lü's pointed chin, forcing her to look him in the eye.

Locked by Jiang Chen's aggressive gaze, Consort Lü's heart was slightly flustered. She subconsciously wanted to avoid him, but remembering Jiang Zuo Wang, who was imprisoned in the palace, she endured it and stood obediently in place, allowing the molestation.

She said softly, "This humble one thanks Your Majesty for your concern. I have also been very concerned about Your Majesty since we last met."

"If the affairs of the court are not too busy, can Your Majesty stay a little longer and chat with this humble one about family matters?"

This rare show of goodwill made Jiang Chen raise his eyebrows: "Tsk, what's wrong with my Consort Lü? This kind of enthusiasm makes me a little scared."

"You wouldn't be thinking of poisoning me, would you?"

Consort Lü's smile stiffened for a moment, and she gritted her teeth: "Your Majesty, please don't scare this humble one. You are the ruler of a country, how dare I?"

"Dare?"

Jiang Chen picked up a strand of her black hair and played with it: "The Gu poison that flowed into the palace before, the target should not only be Noble Consort Shu, right?" (Gu - poisonous insect/ witchcraft)

"Could it be that you haven't found a suitable opportunity, so you haven't attacked me, wanting me to die suddenly, and only provided Mei Ruoying, that poisonous woman, with aphrodisiac drugs that damage the body, wanting to slowly kill me?"

Consort Lü's pupils shrank, and her pretty face turned pale instantly.

But she was, after all, experienced and quickly stabilized her emotions, looking pitiful: "Your Majesty, these are all malicious slanders from villains. There is no evidence. Please don't fall for their tricks and misunderstand this humble one and the Prince!"

Jiang Chen sat down on the edge of the bed and raised his eyebrows: "Misunderstanding?"

"This morning's court meeting, Marquis Chengen stood up to defend Jiang Zuo Wang. Was that your instruction?"

"If there is no connection of interests between you, I can't understand why you, a consort who has lived in the deep palace for a long time, would do such a thankless thing?"

Consort Lü's delicate body trembled, and she knelt down pitifully: "Your Majesty, as a consort, I naturally have to take responsibility and don't want to see the royal bloodline kill each other, causing you to bear the blame. That's why I asked my elder brother to speak out and mediate."

"After all, there is currently no evidence to show that Jiang Zuo Wang is guilty. If you were to punish him, it would cause a lot of criticism and suspicion, shaking the foundation of the Great Wei."

"This humble one, this humble one is doing this for your sake, Your Majesty..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Jiang Chen.

"Consort, I came here not to listen to your lies."

"I have already investigated the matter of you and Jiang Zuo Wang joining hands to harm me, and I have also collected a lot of evidence! Are you sure you want to continue to quibble and protect Jiang Zuo Wang?"

As soon as these words came out, Consort Lü instantly collapsed, as if all the strength in her body had been taken away, and she could only look at Jiang Chen in a miserable and helpless manner...
