Hearing what Wu Linlin said, Concubine Chang looked at Luo Lan as if she was watching the excitement and was not afraid of trouble. The corners of her mouth raised, as if she was waiting to see her excitement.
The expression of Concubine Li was very plain, she seemed not surprised or happy, but there was a meaning that was hard to figure out.
The emperor looked at Shui Luolan and suddenly asked:
"Linlin said you seriously injured her, is this true?"
Luo Lan bent down and replied unhurriedly:
"Returning to the Emperor, what the Crown Princess said is wrong. First of all, I, Shui Luolan, am not a wild woman. I am Princess Yu whom Concubine Chang decided to marry. Your Majesty also approves it. Now the Crown Princess is slandering me, Princess Yu, in front of everyone. What do you mean by wild woman? Do you look down on me, Shui Luolan, or do you look down on Concubine Chang Gui?"
Her words were like needles, which surprised Wu Linlin, and everyone present broke into a cold sweat for her.
No one knows that Prince Yu was banned for life for intending to kill his father. He was also about to die. The nominal Princess Yu was nothing more than a funerary object.
Today, she dared to contradict the Crown Princess in public? Her courage is really too great.
Among these people, only Yu Qiaoqiao looked at her with a hint of clarity.
Wu Linlin heard what she said and hurriedly explained.
"That's not the case. Don't sow discord here. I mean, it's true that you are from the countryside! It's true that you walked too fast and made me duck."
"Of course there is a mistake."
Luo Lan turned to look at her and replied word for word:
"Excuse me, Princess, who saw me, Shui Luolan, walking like the wind and bumping into you? You were walking slowly in front, and I followed behind with my girl. How could I, walking like the wind, knock you down?"
Wu Linlin pinched her nose and snorted coldly, pointed at her and said angrily:
"Many people saw it at the time, and they could all prove to me that you did hit me."
After saying this, she pulled the woman next to her and said, "Miss Sun, did you see it?"
The young lady surnamed Sun nodded decisively, "Yes, I was behind at the time, and I saw clearly that it was Princess Yu who hit the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess almost fell, and then she couldn't dodge and ducked."
Hearing that Miss Sun was willing to tell lies to testify against Wu Linlin, Luo Lan turned around and looked at her with eyes as sharp as a knife, as if he could chop her to death. Miss Sun lowered her head with a guilty conscience and did not dare to look Luo Lan in the eye.
Wu Linlin said to the emperor again:
"And the girls around me have seen it, do you think that's right?"
Naturally, these girls didn't dare to talk nonsense, so they nodded and agreed: Yes.
Luo Lan didn't interrupt her, just looked at her as if she were watching a play.
After Wu Linlin asked someone to prove it, Concubine Chang frowned and asked Luo Lan like a parent:
"Princess Yu, you were personally selected by me, so even if you come from the countryside, I have never treated you badly. Why did you do such a reckless thing today on my birthday? It really makes me sad. disappointed."
Concubine Chang's words made Luo Lan couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at her with contempt in his eyes.
This woman must be hating herself for choosing her, Shui Luolan, as Princess Yu! Because she, Shui Luolan, did not become a pawn that she could come and go at a moment's notice.
She turned her gaze to the emperor, still folding her hands, bowed her knees and saluted, and said to the emperor unhurriedly:
"Your Majesty, for what Luo Lan has not done, even if others want to slander, they cannot do so. At that time..."
"Do you still want to deny it?"
Seeing that she wanted to explain the situation, Wu Linlin quickly interrupted her and said bitterly:
"Princess Yu, this is the first time I've met you. I didn't expect you to be such a snake-hearted person that you would kill me. You...you are so filled with hatred. What is your purpose?"
At this point, she picked up the veil and covered her face again and started sobbing.
Seeing how realistic her performance was, Shui Luolan's eyes tightened, she blinked and said to her:
"If the Crown Princess insists that I knocked you down, then I won't explain much. I just want to ask, I, Princess Yu, also entered the palace to celebrate the birthday of Concubine Chang Gui, and my identity is also recognized by the Emperor. You Why did the servants around the Crown Princess speak disrespectfully to me? Is it wrong for me to ask my girl to teach the girl who made the rude remarks? If you didn't use all your strength to hit me, how could you get away from it? "
Hearing what she said, Wu Linlin bit her lip, stared at her, couldn't help but asked sharply:
"Hmph! It was you and your servants from Prince Yu's Palace who were rude to me, the Crown Princess, and dared to hit my girl. Shouldn't I hit you? Why did you suddenly squat down at that time? If you didn't hide, I Why did you lose your waist?"
Her words undoubtedly showed that it was not Luo Lan who hit her when she ducked, but it was caused by Luo Lan's dodge when she wanted to hit someone.
Luo Lan twitched the corners of her lips, thinking to herself, no wonder she became the crown princess. She was really as stupid as that dog prince, and she could get ahead with just a few words.
This matter is a confusing matter, and the emperor will not tell them who is at fault. Instead of doing this, it is better to end it as soon as possible, so as not to get too entangled in this matter and lose one's own dignity.
Thinking of this, she pursed her lips and whispered apologetically:
"Luo Lan was wrong. The Crown Princess taught Luo Lan that I shouldn't have dropped the handkerchief at that time. Even if it was dropped, I shouldn't have bent down to pick it up. Let the Crown Princess teach you a lesson. Luo Lan shied away because of this, I'm sorry, Your Majesty, please punish Luo Lan for his stupidity and disrespect for the Crown Princess."
The emperor could naturally hear the meaning behind their words. No matter who was right or wrong, or which girl caused the dispute at that time, Wu Linlin's waist was not caused by Luo Lan, it was caused by her failure to hit someone.
Thinking of this, the emperor frowned and raised his hand to stop him:
"Okay, that's it for now. Don't disturb my concubine's birthday party."
Upon hearing this, Wu Linlin shouted reluctantly:
"Father, you have to make the decision for me. If it weren't for her, how could my waist be injured?"
The emperor looked at her and replied coldly:
"Does the Crown Princess want me to ask about what you just said?"
Hearing what the emperor said, Wu Linlin lowered her head a little unreasonably.
Just now she clearly said that Shui Luolan hit her, and later she told the truth in the conversation. Now it is not easy to hold Shui Luolan accountable. If Shui Luolan pursues the matter of framed her again, then she may not I can take advantage of it.
Thinking of this, she glared at Luo Lan angrily, tore the handkerchief in her hand hard, and bit her lip angrily.
Although she was dissatisfied, she could only swallow this breath secretly. Anyway, there would be many opportunities to deal with this ignorant woman in the future, so she was not in a hurry.
When the emperor saw that Wu Linlin was finally quiet, he waved directly to Luo Lan and said:
"There is an empty seat next to the stream. You can sit there. After all, she is Princess Yu. She is not afraid of making people gossip if she sits in the corner."
