The little sister is a troublemaker

Chapter 366 How about we make a bet

The Empress Dowager suddenly stood in front of Madam Qian and said, "It's not her. Madam Qian has taken care of me since I was a child and she will not betray me."

Chu Jie sneered, "Just because I won't betray you doesn't mean I won't betray me."

The Empress Dowager was speechless after hearing this, but she still stood firmly in front of Madam Qian. Her life was like a joke, and only Madam Qian never left her and always stood behind her. She was more important than her family.

Chu Jie looked at Nanny Qian for a long time, then shifted his gaze to look at Xiao Linzi, who was so scared that he sat down on the ground, then got up and knelt, "Your Majesty, Master, it's not me, I am loyal to you."

"What were you doing when we entered the secret passage just now?"

"My little one...my little one...I want to go to the toilet when I'm nervous, so..."

Chu Jie's expression did not change at all, "Xiao Linzi, you forgot to get me my coat today."

This incoherent sentence made Xiao Linzi's face even paler, "No, Your Majesty, you must believe me." Then he kowtowed desperately, "Your Majesty, you must believe me..."

The leader of the secret guards came over and said, "Your Majesty, we should leave now. We can't hold on any longer."

Chu Jie didn't look at Xiao Linzi again, but looked at the Empress Dowager, "Grandma, this may take some time."

The Empress Dowager heaved a sigh of relief. He must have believed her. "Don't worry, I won't hold you back."

The group hurriedly walked forward along the secret passage. Xiao Linzi got up from the ground and followed them.

The leader of the secret guards reminded his master, and Chu Jie neither objected nor agreed, so everyone just ignored it.

Not long after they started walking, they stopped in front of them. "Oh no, there are enemies ahead too."

Now they were surrounded from both sides.

Chu Jie pursed his lips and led his men in another direction.

Similarly, they were stopped soon. They didn’t have as many people as the other side, so they could only retreat. Finally…

"Hahahahahaha, Imperial Sister-in-law, Little Emperor, where are you going?"

The Empress Dowager's face was gloomy. "Prince Cheng, what do you want to do? Rebellion?"

"Rebellion?" King Cheng smiled playfully. "Didn't I do this once more than a decade ago? Why is the Queen's sister-in-law so angry?"

“You…you are so outrageous!”

King Cheng sneered, not taking her seriously at all, but looking at the tunnel, "Royal brother is biased, he only told Chu Chenfeng about the secret passage in the palace, and we brothers really don't know anything about it. His face is cold and indifferent, and he really thought that the boy was not favored by the emperor, and deceived us all. Royal sister-in-law, do you know this secret passage?"

The Empress Dowager stared at him with a dark face and said nothing.

"Haha, it seems the Empress-sister-in-law doesn't know either, tsk tsk tsk."

King Cheng's eyes met Chu Jie's. The Queen Mother suddenly pulled Chu Jie behind her and looked at King Cheng warily, "What do you want to do?"

Nanny Qian was very nervous and stood in front of the Empress Dowager again.

"Hehe, don't be so nervous, sister-in-law. I just want to take a look. The emperor's eyes are really similar to the late prince's." Looking at the person who remained calm in such a situation, King Cheng was a little impressed by Chu Chenfeng, who actually taught people so well.

Chu Jie looked at the well-maintained hand that was pulling his arm hard, feeling a little surprised. It seemed that he did not expect that his grandmother would come forward to protect him in such a situation.

King Cheng winked at his men, who immediately understood and rushed towards Chu Jie with swords in hand.

"Don't...don't hurt the emperor." Xiao Linzi stood tremblingly in front of Chu Jie and the Empress Dowager, his whole body shaking.

King Cheng laughed and said, "Why are you, a traitor, pretending to be loyal here?"

When Chu Jie heard this, his eyes darkened and he pursed his lips without saying anything.

Xiao Linzi looked back at Chu Jie in panic, his eyes full of guilt.

Then he turned and glared at King Cheng, "You said you would not harm the emperor."

"You believe this? The people around the little emperor are really easy to deceive." Then he looked at his men with impatience, and the other party kicked Xiao Linzi in the chest, and then slashed at him with a sword.

"Xiao Linzi!" Chu Jie's eyes were bloodshot, he pushed away the person in front of him and rushed forward.

Xiao Linzi was hit on the neck by a sword. He was spitting out blood and twitching.

Chu Jie's eyes were red, "Xiao Linzi, Xiao Linzi!"

Xiao Linzi looked at the little emperor apologetically, and died without saying a word.

Chu Jie looked at Xiao Linzi's body, clenched his fists, and his body was shaking slightly.

The Empress Dowager hurried over and pulled the man to her side, blocking him like a hen protecting her chicks, although her face was now pale with fright.

King Cheng smiled, "That's really touching, sister-in-law. I suddenly remembered something. I've been thinking about it for many years, and now I've suddenly figured it out. Would you like to listen to it, sister-in-law?"

The Empress Dowager stiffened and stared at him warily.

King Cheng didn't seem to mind at all. "I remember that year, when I gave the poisoned wine to the former crown prince, in order to ensure that it was foolproof, I specially asked someone to imitate your handwriting and write a farewell letter. The former crown prince was shocked after reading it."

The Empress Dowager's eyes widened, her head was buzzing, and she was about to lose her balance. When she came to her senses, her eyes were bloodshot, the veins on her forehead were bulging, and she screamed through gritted teeth, "Become the King!"

King Cheng smiled calmly, "Don't get excited, I haven't finished yet. But afterwards, the letter disappeared without a trace. I can't figure out why the things I prepared disappeared without a trace."

The Empress Dowager seemed to have thought of something and her body couldn't stop shaking.

"Just now, when I saw my sister-in-law protecting the little emperor, I suddenly understood. When his life was slipping away, the first reaction of the late crown prince was to destroy the letter. Everyone said that the late crown prince and the Empress Dowager had a bad relationship, but they just didn't understand. How could a biological mother and son have a bad relationship? Sister-in-law, don't you think so?"

Madam Qian supported the pale-faced Grand Empress Dowager and said, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Don't listen to this. This is definitely not true, Your Majesty?"

The Empress Dowager suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fell down, but her hand was still tightly holding Chu Jie's arm.

Chu Jie also stared at Cheng Wang with red eyes, but the little child was not afraid at all.

King Cheng raised the corner of his lips, "I know that my army is no match for Chu Chenfeng. Therefore, my goal this time is not to march into Kyoto, that is just a cover-up."

"You want to use me to threaten your uncle!"

King Cheng raised his eyebrows, and seemed to be in a good mood. "Tell me, if I threaten Chu Chenfeng with your life and ask him to commit suicide, do you think he will do it?"

Chu Jie's face turned pale when he heard this. "You are dreaming! The emperor's uncle will never be threatened by you."

King Cheng shook his head, "I don't think so. How about we make a bet?"
