Her words made Ms. Liu, who was kneeling there, turned pale with anger. She looked at her sideways and yelled through gritted teeth:
"Hmph! You must have forced my miserable niece to tell you these things, and then you killed her. You are a monster. You deceived the emperor and Prince Yu. There must be something ulterior in your sneaking into the royal family. secret, you have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor and deserve death."
Listening to her hysterical shouting, Luo Lan was not angry. She knew that this woman must have taken advantage of others, so she pressed her step by step. She had always been a person who had no advantage and was unwilling to do anything early.
A Cai, who was standing next to her, pointed angrily at her before Luo Lan could speak, and cursed angrily:
"Is it possible for you, a common woman, to decide the crime of deceiving the emperor? Our princess has been served by Ahong and I since she entered the palace. We know best whether her identity is true or false. You sold the princess to Yu for money. No one in the entire capital knows about the matter of being buried with the royal family, but you lick your face and talk about it without any shame, you are so shameless."
Mrs. Liu, who has always been domineering and domineering, is not a light-hearted person. Seeing Ah Cai talking about her like this, she pointed her finger at Ah Cai and yelled:
"You are a stinky girl, so sharp-tongued. You must also be a monster. You are in the same group. Please put these two monsters into the sky prison and force them to reveal their original forms."
"Hehehe..."
Liu's words made Luo Lan couldn't help but laugh out loud. This suddenly reminded her of the monkey's classic saying in Journey to the West, 'What kind of monster are you, don't show up soon. '
Maybe it was because the laughter was too loud, or maybe it was too quiet here. The moment the veil covered her mouth, her laughter broke the silence here.
Concubine Chang glared at her hatefully and shouted sternly:
"Princess Yu, what are you laughing at?"
Hearing her question, Luo Lan quickly stopped laughing. She straightened her expression, leaned forward and said:
"Mr. Liu's words really make people want to laugh. Luo Lan couldn't hold it back for a moment. He was rude in front of the emperor and the two empresses. Please punish him."
Her words made Concubine Chang's face turn livid. The emperor frowned and asked coldly:
"What does Princess Yu think is so funny?"
Luo Lan raised the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, and replied calmly:
"Mr. Liu asked me to show my prototype. I'm not sure how to show it, so I feel like laughing. If I'm rude in any way, I hope the emperor will punish me."
The emperor's face suddenly turned cold. He glanced at Mrs. Liu who was kneeling on the spot and asked sharply again:
"Ms. Liu, you said that Princess Yu in front of you is not your niece. Do you have any evidence?"
Mrs. Liu raised her neck and replied directly:
"Your Majesty, the niece of a commoner's wife grew up in the countryside and knows nothing but how to weed pigs. The commoner's wife heard that Princess Yu in front of her was not only proficient in Hengqin calligraphy and painting, but also good at music and dance. She is also proficient in poetry, and can compose poems. Her poems are still circulated in the market, so the folk woman concluded that she could not be the niece of the peasant woman. The niece of the peasant woman could not even read a single big character, how could she recite it? Is the poem right? The common woman is certain that she must be an imposter, and she must have killed the common woman's niece. She hopes that the emperor will investigate clearly and make this monster appear as soon as possible to restore the life of the common woman's niece."
Her remarks really made Luo Lan feel a little ridiculous. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Mr. Liu who was speaking righteously, with a look of disdain on her face.
The emperor turned to look at Luo Lan again, half-squinting his eyes, and asked seriously:
"Princess Yu, do you have any objection to what Mrs. Liu said?"
What comments can you make? What she said was true and she had nothing to defend.
She could only purse her lips and smile bitterly, "I have nothing to say."
Hearing this, Concubine Chang suddenly snorted loudly:
"Shui Luolan, what is your purpose of deceiving the emperor and me and sneaking into Prince Yu's palace? What is your identity? Where did you take the real Shui Luolan?"
Luo Lan was not in a hurry, she knew that what Liu said was taught by Concubine Chang Guifei, so she leaned back and replied without changing her expression:
"Luo Lan doesn't understand what Concubine Chang said, but I have a few things to say. First, it's not that I wanted to sneak into Prince Yu's palace. Concubine Chang bought me from the Liu family for a thousand taels of silver. Second, I , my identity used to be Shui Luolan, a country girl, and now I am Princess Yu recognized by Prince Yu. I have no real identity. As for my skills, it can be understood as an extraordinary talent, self-taught without a teacher!"
"fart!"
Mrs. Liu suddenly spat and cursed:
"Are you talented? Are you self-taught? Besides being able to kill pigs and wipe your tears secretly, what else can you do?"
After saying this, she turned to look at the emperor and said righteously:
"Your Majesty, this woman is lying. Your Majesty, you can't believe what she says. She must be a fox demon or an evil woman. I heard that when she treats people, she will turn them into nothing. Only an evildoer can do such a thing. Please let your Majesty take a closer look at this matter!"
Luo Lan patiently listened to what she had to say, then took two slow steps to her side, condescendingly, and asked in a cold voice with sharp words:
"I dare to ask Mr. Liu, do you want to seek justice for your niece when you come to complain before the emperor? Or do you want to blackmail a sum of money? If it's the former, you can go back, because I, Shui Luolan, am standing here, no I need you to pretend to seek justice for me. If it’s the latter, you can go back. You must have earned a lot of money for coming here.”
As soon as she said this, not only Mrs. Liu's face turned ugly, but Concubine Chang's face also turned pale. Concubine Li, who had been sitting quietly on the other side of the emperor, twitched the corner of her mouth, showed a big smile, and then whispered: :
"Princess Yu, you are an excellent woman. Maybe it is because you are so outstanding that you are arousing suspicion. How about you prove that you are the original owner? Otherwise, the aunt who raised you since childhood will say that you are not who she is, and you He insists that he is who he is, and if this stalemate continues, the emperor may not be able to make a decision!"
Prove yourself?
Luo Lan couldn't help but want to laugh. This proved that she really didn't know how to do it.
She raised the veil, covered her mouth and smiled helplessly, then raised her eyes to look at the emperor and said word by word:
"Your Majesty, I have no way to prove that I am who I am, but this is Mrs. Liu. She has raised me like an animal since I was a child. I have lived in your house for sixteen years. I eat scraps and sleep with your dog. I am doing a job that even your donkeys are not willing to do, and I am being wronged that even a beggar is not willing to suffer. What reason do you have to come here to cry like a cat? I am Shui Luolan. To be able to live today, you have received one thousand taels of silver. From the moment you took that one thousand taels of silver, we have severed all ties between you and me, and I will never recognize you as my so-called aunt again. So, don’t make any alarmist remarks here. Slander this princess."
