Cruel Empress
Chapter 88 ~ Choosing The Wrong Enemy.

Lu'er, who was walking towards the basement, still seemed to have been dreamy in his memory.

When he was in front of the Door of the Basement, he was so very confused when he saw the crowd of people in the basement. The noise inside the room made Lu'er feel free to enter the room.

His steps were quite careful, then he saw Empress Jia Li, the Emperor, Consort Dongli and also the Soldiers who always guarded the basement.

Consort Dongli who was at that time was beside Empress Jia Li, because he heard the sound of someone's footsteps quickly he turned his face towards the back. And he saw Lu'er standing on the stairs.

"Ah... Lin?!" Said, Consort Dongli who immediately turned his body to be able to see himself Lu'er, who was on top of the stairs.

Empress Jia Li and Emperor Aximing quickly turned their faces to see Lu'er on the stairs.

Lu'er looked extremely cold as he looked at the faces of the three people who were also staring at his face.

"Hmmm, what exactly has happened?! It looks so weird." In Lu'er's mind, then his eyeball immediately glanced towards the side of Empress Jia Li's body.

He looked at Concubine Fengying who was already lying lifeless with such a tragic condition. Such an extremely thick red blood filled the body of Consort Fengying, her skin was visible to Lu'er. Full of sharp incisions.

"Huh?! Who would have done such a thing to himself?!" In Lu'er's mind that looked so very surprised when he saw such a thing.

Then he began to stare at the Face of the Empress, the Emperor and also Consort Dongli. The look they gave off looked so very sharp to Lu'er.

"Do you know that Concubine Fengying has been killed by someone? And it seems like that person hates him so much!" Said, Consort Dongli who was seen looking at Lu'er with a suspicious look.

Lu'er who heard such words from Concubine Dongli, she only fell silent coldly, then Lu'er immediately answered the words from Consort Dongli to her.

"It looks so." Answer, Lu'er with a cold and indifferent face. He didn't seem to care much about that kind of problem.

Concubine Dongli who saw Lu'er so deeply indifferent to such a thing made herself slightly upset. Then, he immediately smiled cunningly at Lu'er.

"Didn't you and Consort Fengying fight a while ago, even if you punish her?" said, Consort Dongli who looks is looking at Lu'er's face with a sharp gaze.

Lu'er is still standing on the stairs. His eyes looked so sharp and cold, as Consort Dongli said that to himself.

"Hm... Looks like I'm being bait, yeah...." In Lu'er's mind who was still watching Consort Dongli's face coldly.

"True, then do you think I'm the one who took the life of Concubine Fengying?" tanya, Lu'er who still showed a cold face before Consort Dongli.

The Emperor as well as Empress Jia Li who saw Lu'er's attitude, made them so very confused. Empress Jia Li looked so very cold and sharp when she saw Lu'er.

"This woman? Why was she still able to show such a calm demeanor when Concubine Dongli was saying that to her?! Is... He wasn't the culprit who had killed Fengying?!" In the mind of Empress Jia Li, now she was very worried about the attitude of Lu'er.

Emperor Aximing only fell silent coldly, without saying anything he seemed to be taking Lu'er seriously.

Concubine Dongli who already looked very upset. It seemed that he was so very unwilling to let Lu'er slip from his grip.

"Damn... Fucking woman! This time I will never let you get away with it!" In the mind of Consort Dongli who looked so very upset to Lu'er.

With rest Lu'er also walked to be able to go down the stairs. Then, he began to approach Consort Dongli to be able to approach him. As he looked at each other face to face, Lu'er began to stop his steps. With a cold gaze, she was still able to smile a little before Consort Dongli, then she started to speak to the Woman firmly.

"No, but there is one thing that you should underline, O honorable concubine Dongli! Maybe everyone will think the same as you, because they only look at one point of view. But everyone never knew how many enemies the Fengying Concubine had, did they? So too with the enemies I have." Say, Lu'er firmly. The green eyeball looked so very sharp when it was looking at the Face of Consort Dongli.

Concubine Dongli looked nervous as Lu'er said such to herself. Then he started talking again to Lu'er.

"You're absolutely right... But it couldn't have been, if the one doing such a thing was an outsider? Because this room was so heavily guarded by the Soldiers. There's no way they're negligent at work." Say, Consort Dongli firmly to Lu'er.

That made Empress Jia Li and the Emperor even more confused. However, they also could not claim that the culprit who killed Concubine Fengying was Lu'er.

Lu'er smiled again as Consort Dongli said so to her. Then he started glancing towards the two Warriors who were standing behind Consort Dongli's body.

"Hm... You're absolutely right, so the culprit is the one inside the palace? If I look, the wound that was on the body of this Fengying Concubine was not caused from a sharp object like a Sword, or a Blade. Except...." Lu'er quickly walked over to be able to approach the Fengying Concubine who was inside the Prison. Then, he began to pay attention to the iron bars and also the injuries from Concubine Fengying.

Concubine Dongli then turned her body to be able to see what Lu'er was going to do.

"Hm... It looks like it's been locked up for a long time... Hm." In Lu'er's mind that looked quite confused about such a situation. Then Lu'er saw beside Consort Fengying's body there was a red thread.

Lu'er began to narrow her eyes, then she immediately turned her back to be able to see Consort Dongli back.

"Akana but I'm not a person who likes to hold feelings of resentment!" Said, Lu'er firmly then he immediately walked over to be able to leave the dungeon.

As Lu'er was about to pass, Consort Dongli who was beside Lu'er quickly pulled out Lu'er's left hand quite strongly.

"It can't be like that! I see you have absolutely no denial, and I actually have proof that you are the culprit!" Say, Consort Dongli firmly to Lu'er.

Empress Jia Li and the Emperor looked so very surprised when they heard what Consort Dongli had just said.

"Proof what do you mean, Dongli?!" Empress Jia Li asked with a puzzled look.

Concubine Dongli smiled cunningly before Lu'er, then she immediately took out the Bross Butterfly in Lu'er's blue.

"Here, one of the guards found this thing in this room. And he gave it to me! Isn't this yours?" said, Consort Dongli who immediately took out the Bross Butterfly with blue color in the grip of his left hand.

Lu'er only fell silent when he saw that Bross was in the hands of Consort Dongli.

"I'm quite impressed, but the real culprit is not me! Because how could I possibly commit such recklessness! If I want to what should I secretly do? Shouldn't I kill him the moment the Emperor allows me to punish him? You had said to me that the Guard would never be negligent in his work, so how could I possibly enter secretly and take his life, unless... They've been involved in this! If you have proof then I have proof too!" Say, Lu'er firmly to Consort Dongli.

Concubine Dongli looked so very surprised when she heard Lu'er's words. Suddenly his face looked nervous as Lu'er said that to him.

"What do you mean this! What evidence?!" Said, Consort Dongli with a nervous look in front of Lu'er.

Lu'er smiled coldly as she looked at Concubine Dongli who looked nervous before her.

"What's Concubine Dongli? Why are you so sweaty! And nervous like that?! Are you afraid that I can really reveal who the real culprit is?" said, Lu'er with eyes that look so very sharp when looking at Consort Dongli's Face.
