When she said this, her eyes were sharp and she pressed forward every step of the way until Mrs. Liu lowered her head and did not dare to look at her seriously.
The more Luo Lan talked, the angrier she became. Thinking of the past and the anger the original owner had suffered over the past ten years, she wanted to step forward and slap Mr. Liu twice.
But she endured it. Since she came to Prince Yu's Mansion, she has decided not to have anything to do with her anymore. Therefore, if she hadn't intentionally violated her today, she wouldn't even want to look at her again.
Obviously, her words made Mrs. Liu feel guilty, but for the sake of the thousand taels of silver, she still firmly believed that the person in front of her was not the submissive Shui Luolan, and she must be an imposter.
She tightened her throat and raised her voice again to ask:
"You must not be Luo Lan. Although you look exactly like her, your tone of voice is different, your eyes are different, and... and you never spoke to me so loudly before."
Condescendingly, Luo Lan listened to her guilty words, looked at her with raised eyebrows, and asked sternly again,
"The former Shui Luolan is indeed dead. She is heartbroken and does not want to mention the past again. From now on, Shui Luolan will not bow to anyone, nor will she yield to anyone. Don't think about relying on your Just come here and slander me in just a few words, but be careful I will accuse you of slandering someone from the royal family."
Hearing this, Mrs. Liu's body trembled violently, and her eyes drifted towards Concubine Chang Gui.
Seeing this, Concubine Chang hurriedly shouted to her:
"Ms. Liu, Shui Luolan has lived with you for sixteen years. You are like her mother. Don't you know her well enough? What is true is true and what is false is false. Why bother here?"
After saying this, she looked directly at the emperor, half-squinted her eyes, and said righteously:
"Your Majesty, I feel that Liu's words are not unreasonable. When I was looking for a princess for Yu'er, I thought she was just an ordinary country girl. Who would have thought that she actually has skills that no lady has ever had, so , I also believe that Princess Yu’s identity is suspicious and should be handed over to the Criminal Investigation Department for investigation and questioning.”
As soon as she said this, someone outside suddenly shouted:
"Let's see who dares to be rude to my royal sister-in-law."
The person who spoke was none other than Leng Xi, and she was seen striding forward menacingly, with a rare majesty on her face.
Seeing him coming in, Li Fei was the first to turn cold and was about to stop her, but he quickly came to the emperor, cupped his fists and saluted directly:
"Father, regardless of whether the identity of the emperor's sister-in-law is true or false, at least since she came to Prince Yu's Mansion, she has not done anything detrimental to the royal family, let alone anything harmful to the fourth brother. Why are you here to treat her so cruelly? Is she interrogated? Why should she be handed over to the Criminal Division? May I ask which law of Daning Kingdom she violated?"
Luo Lan was surprised that Leng Xi could appear at this time. She did not expect that the always unruly prince Leng Xi would come out to speak for her at this critical moment. She suddenly felt warm in her heart, and while the corners of her mouth raised, He shook his head at Leng Xi and smiled bitterly.
The emperor looked at Leng Xi, who had a serious face and a fearless attitude, and suddenly became a little angry. He pointed at him and asked:
"What do you know? Even if she has not done anything detrimental to the royal family, the fact that her identity is suspicious is not enough for her to gain a foothold in the royal family. Therefore, this matter must be investigated clearly. For matters that have nothing to do with you, withdraw. Down."
Seeing the emperor's tone, Concubine Li was a little angry and hurriedly raised her eyebrows at Leng Xi and said:
"Xi'er, don't be rude. This matter has nothing to do with you. Stand back."
Leng Xi stiffened his neck and shook his head resolutely:
"I won't retreat. The emperor's sister-in-law saved the fourth brother, cured the son of King Zhennan, and now she has cured Ming'er's injury, but you are treating her like this. No wonder others say that the royal family is ruthless. You are so ruthless. .”
"presumptuous!"
Hearing what Leng Xi said, the emperor suddenly slapped the table and roared angrily. Seeing this, Concubine Chang raised the corners of her mouth slightly, showing an expression that she was just watching the fun and not afraid of the big deal.
Concubine Li had a gloomy face and whispered to Leng Xi again:
"Xi'er, step back quickly. This matter has nothing to do with you."
Leng Xi stood there unwillingly, vowing to fight for Luo Lan to the end.
Time was stagnant here for a while. At this moment, someone came to report from outside.
"Your Majesty, there is a person named Shui Chunhua outside who wants to see you."
Waterspring?
Hearing this name, the corners of Luo Lan's mouth rose slightly, and the disgust in his heart was palpable.
That woman is as selfish and greedy as her mother. It must not be a good thing for her to come.
The facts were exactly as she imagined. After Shui Chunhua was brought in, her face was full of arrogance, and judging from her clothes and her exquisite makeup, she should be living well, or in other words, her family was living well with the money from selling her. not bad.
After she came in, she first knelt down beside her mother and saluted, "Daughter Shui Chunhua greets the emperor and the two empresses. I wish the emperor good fortune and happiness, and I wish the two empresses will always be beautiful."
Her words surprised Luo Lan. It seemed that Shui Chunhua had put in a lot of effort before she came, otherwise she wouldn't have said such polite words based on her behavior.
The emperor nodded slightly, frowned and looked at her and asked:
"Shui Chunhua, why did you come to see me?"
Shui Chunhua straightened her expression first, then raised her eyes to look at the emperor, and said in a sweet voice:
"Your Majesty, Shui Chunhua is the daughter of the Liu family and the younger sister of Shui Luolan. When she came this time, she brought something. I would like to ask the emperor to see it. This thing can also prove the true identity of Shui Luolan. Fake."
After saying that, she took out a purple-red handkerchief from her sleeve. No one could see what was packed in the handkerchief.
Liu Xi stepped forward, took the veil, bowed and handed it to the emperor. After the emperor took the veil, he placed it on the table in front of him and slowly opened it.
A somewhat black longevity lock suddenly appeared inside. The writing on it was a bit blurry, but if you look closely, you can still vaguely see the blue characters.
The emperor glanced at the longevity lock and said to Luo Lan:
"Princess Yu, since you said you are Shui Luolan, what tokens do you have?"
Hearing this, a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of Luo Lan's mouth. She was still a little baby when her uncle picked her up. How did she know what items she had on her body?
By the way, her uncle once gave her a piece of handkerchief. Thinking of this, she took the handkerchief out of her sleeve, leaned forward and said:
"Your Majesty, I only have this veil."
Before the emperor could speak, Mrs. Liu was preparing to snatch the veil from her hand and shouted:
"You must have taken this veil from my niece. You vicious woman, give me my niece's life."
Hearing this, Luo Lan quickly clenched the handkerchief in his hand, stared at her, and said hatefully:
"Don't you feel guilty for saying this?"
When Leng Xi who was standing aside saw this, he quickly stepped in front of Mrs. Liu, puffed up his chest and stared at her, roaring angrily:
"Shrew, no matter what, this is Princess Yu of Prince Yu's Mansion. Do you dare to be disrespectful to her? You are challenging the royal dignity. Don't you want to live?"
Leng Xi's words made Ms. Liu's legs soften immediately. She took a few steps back and knelt down on the ground again. Although her body was trembling slightly, after looking at Concubine Chang Guifei, she immediately raised her head and said sternly:
"Your Majesty, this veil is carried by the niece of a commoner woman. She must have robbed it. As for the thing in your hand, she does not remember it, so it must be a fake."
