Chapter 555: Luo Cheng’s Analysis

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In the past, every time his uncle committed a crime, the emperor would turn a blind eye on account of the empress dowager.

But this time, things were different.

His uncle actually had designs on him.

His uncle dared to hurt his consort, so who knew how arrogant he usually was?

Therefore, this time, the emperor decided to teach his uncle a lesson.

“Mother, I can not announce what Uncle has committed this time. It’s just that I have to teach him a lesson. I remember that there are many places in Sichuan that need to be explored and opened up. Why don’t I let Uncle go over and open up the mountains?! Since Uncle committed a crime, he has to abide by the rules there. I’ll specifically remind the people there not to let Uncle have the chance to slack off!”

The empress dowager was surprised to hear that.

“Son! No matter what, he’s your uncle! You can’t treat him like this!”

“How did I treat him? Why didn’t you see how he treated me? He isn’t acting like an uncle. Mother, why didn’t you tell Uncle in advance and let him think before he does anything?!” The emperor roared angrily, “If you think that my punishment is unfair, hand this matter over to the court!”

The empress dowager said, “No, you can’t go to the court. If you really go to the court, your uncle will be screwed!”

When the emperor heard the empress dowager’s words, for some reason, he felt very upset.

“Mom, I’m your son! Why do you always favor mu uncle?”

When the empress dowager heard the emperor’s words, her heart ached, but there were some things she really couldn’t say to him.

“My son, I dote on you too. It’s just that this concerns the Li family’s reputation, so I have no choice but to do this!”

The emperor’s face was filled with disappointment and his heart ached.

At this moment, the Dark Dragon Guards received a letter.

After the emperor opened the letter, his pupils dilated when he saw the words carved in wood.

For some reason, upon seeing the emperor’s expression turn uglier and uglier, the empress dowager had a bad feeling.

“No wonder you were biased towards my uncle right from the beginning. It turns out that my uncle was the child between you and your lover, but was placed under my grandfather’s name. Not only did you hide this matter from my grandfather until he died, but even I was kept in the dark. I found it strange that you always stood on my uncle’s side.” As the emperor spoke, he laughed maniacally.

“So all of this is because my uncle is the child between you and your lover!”

These words made the empress dowager’s expression change.

The empress dowager never expected that this secret would be revealed one day.

However, now really wasn’t the time!

The emperor was already angry. Now that he knew the truth, he was even angrier.

“You’ve been unwell recently, so I’ll seal Cining Palace and let you recuperate in peace!” With that, the emperor left angrily.

By the time Luo Cheng received the news on the way, the empress dowager had already been locked up. The empress dowager’s youngest son had also been whipped 30 times by the emperor and sent to an unknown place to recuperate.

Of course, this was only for appearance’s sake. In fact, the empress dowager was being confined, and the emperor’s so-called uncle had been sent to a godforsaken place by the emperor. Then, the emperor got someone to monitor his uncle every day as he farmed every day and lived the life of a poor commoner.

Speaking of which, Luo Cheng had accidentally discovered these things.

At that time, Luo Cheng found it strange that the empress dowager was so concerned for his so-called granduncle.

Therefore, when he found out that what happened in the royal family that day was related to his granduncle, he began to investigate further.

The empress dowager thought that she had kept the secret well hidden, but her attention on her illegitimate son was too abnormal.

That kind of care and protection didn’t seem like an older sister’s care for her younger brother. Instead, it was like a mother’s care for her son.

At first, Luo Cheng was shocked by the thought that flashed across his mind. But later on, Luo Cheng became more and more convinced that this was the case.

Therefore, Luo Cheng began to investigate everything that had happened back then!

Fortunately, Luo Cheng had found someone who knew the truth, so Luo Cheng asked him everything he wanted to ask.

Therefore, after the empress dowager made things difficult for him, Luo Cheng began to plan.

At the same time, several princes experienced some accidents.

At first, no one suspected Luo Cheng!

However, later on, they encountered many unlucky incidents and assassination attempts.

When they thought of what they had arranged for Luo Cheng, they were immediately shocked by its similarity with what they had experienced.

Because everything they had encountered now was what they had arranged for Luo Cheng back then.

The most unlucky person was actually the second prince. From the day Luo Cheng left, the second prince suffered various assassination attempts one after another.

What was even stranger was that the second prince was unlucky, but the second prince’s consort was fine.

Every day, he lived in fear. Finally, the second prince broke down one day and entered the palace to look for the emperor in tears.

It was unknown what the second prince had said to the emperor, but after he returned from the royal family, the second prince stayed in his residence all day and didn’t dare to go out again. He even sent someone to negotiate with Luo Cheng.

Of course, that was later on.

When Li Xiaoran woke up from her dream, she sensed that Luo Cheng was in a good mood.

“Husband, did something joyous happen? Tell me so I can share in the joy!”

Luo Cheng asked, “Actually, it’s nothing significant. Do you remember why we came to the capital in the first place?

“Now, the show in the capital has begun!” Luo Cheng smiled and said, “Come over here. Then, I’ll tell you!”

Li Xiaoran stuck her head over. As she listened, her eyes widened.

Hearing this, Li Xiaoran was immediately amused. “They deserve it. You should have taught them a lesson like this long ago!”

Luo Cheng asked with a smile, “Are you happy now?”

When Li Xiaoran saw a boundary by the road, she immediately thought of something and said, “I’m more than happy. I’m so happy that I want to eat a few more mouthfuls! By the way, husband, is Clear Spring Town ahead? I heard that there’s a very famous dish called Spring Water Chicken here. Why don’t we try it?!”

Luo Cheng nodded and said, “We’re not in a hurry anyway, so eat whatever you want!”

Li Xiaoran shouted happily, “Alright, let’s turn around and set off for Spring

Water Town!”
