Luo Lan really couldn't guess what Shui Chunhua brought. Apart from the handkerchief, her uncle had never mentioned anything else to her, so at this time, she could only bow her head and remain silent.
The always suspicious emperor saw her silence, his face suddenly darkened, he frowned and asked:
"Ms. Liu, has Shui Luolan seen this thing before?"
"I've seen it."
Before Liu could speak, Shui Chunhua replied loudly and righteously:
"We were playing with it at that time. She knew that she had brought this thing with her when she came here. Therefore, the woman now must not be my poor sister. My sister must have been killed by this woman. Your Majesty... ...Uh huh... You have to make the decision for the civilian girl's sister!"
She cried so hard that people felt pity for her. Luo Lan didn't even know when the original owner formed such a deep friendship with her. Because according to common sense, even if the original owner died, Shui Chunhua would not cry. It seems that her acting skills have improved a lot during this period.
Seeing Shui Chunhua performing so hard, Chang Guifei raised the corners of her mouth slightly, then raised her eyebrows and said:
"Your Majesty, I think it would be better to leave this matter to the Division of Criminal Justice for interrogation. After all, she pretended to be someone else and got close to the royal family. Her purpose is suspicious. I even doubted whether she was a spy sent from a foreign country? Your Majesty? Do a thorough investigation and don’t let a small thing lead to a big loss.”
Seeing this, Concubine Li pretended to be a little panicked and echoed:
"Sister Chang's words are so scary! If it's really the work of a foreign country, it's not a trivial matter. It seems that it's better to stop losses in time. Please think twice, Your Majesty."
Although Concubine Li's words were cryptic, one could tell that she and Concubine Chang stood together on this matter.
The emperor's eyes darkened, maybe he was thinking about something, while Leng Xi still stood in front of Luo Lan, clasped his fists and said loudly:
"Father, I feel that the words of the two empresses are different. Why should I hand over the emperor's sister-in-law to the punishment department for interrogation? Who can go in there and torture them severely, even if they don't want to be tortured? That is coercion, this is Not only is the move not clever enough, it will also make people laugh, making the world laugh at the indifference of people in the royal family for treating a defenseless, soft woman like this."
Leng Xi's words were like needles. Luo Lan felt warm in his heart after hearing them, while the emperor and the two empresses were a little displeased.
After all, these three people have their own concerns. The emperor really suspects that Luo Lan's identity is fake, which may be detrimental to the royal family.
Concubine Chang hoped to lift her up personally and not take her seriously, not only to remove the stumbling block of Luo Lan, but also to slowly eliminate the big hidden danger of Leng Yu.
Li Fei wanted to take the opportunity of getting rid of her to weaken Leng Yu's inner defense and then get rid of Leng Yu.
Therefore, when Li Fei saw Leng Xi speaking for Luo Lan reluctantly, she frowned and glared at him and said angrily:
"Xi'er, why don't you back down? Your father didn't hold you accountable for taking Ming'er out of the palace secretly. How dare you be so rude here instead of secretly enjoying yourself? Your mother and concubine have really neglected to discipline you. .”
Leng Xi ignored Concubine Li's scolding and raised his eyebrows directly, continuing:
"The words of the mother concubine, father emperor and Chang Guifei are unreasonable, why can't Xi'er refute them?"
"Bold."
Seeing that Leng Xi was talking more and more excessively, the emperor shouted directly:
"I have made my own decision on this matter. Xi'er retreats. If you are rude again, I will put you in solitary confinement."
"Hmph, what else can you do besides confinement? You have imprisoned the fourth brother for three years and ignored him. He almost died in Prince Yu's palace. If the emperor's sister-in-law had not appeared in time, I am afraid that the fourth brother would have died. My brother has long been reduced to a pile of bones, is it possible that my father also wants to imprison Xi'er to death?"
"presumptuous."
Leng Xi's words completely angered the emperor. He pointed at him and shouted to the people outside:
"Come here, take Leng Xi down and put him in solitary confinement for three days."
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, two guards came up. Leng Xi saw this and wanted to resist, but Luo Lan quickly stopped him softly,
"Lengxi, don't be rude, go back and be put in solitary confinement."
Leng Xi bit her lip and looked at Luo Lan, but hesitated to speak. Luo Lan shook her head at him and said softly:
"I'm fine, go ahead!"
Although Leng Xi didn't want to leave here, he knew that if he continued to make trouble, the result would be even worse.
So, he followed the two guards and left obediently. Before leaving, he kept looking back at Luo Lan, his eyes full of worry for her.
Luo Lan smiled calmly at him, with a lot of helplessness in that smile.
Leng Xi was taken away, and the emperor straightened his expression and said to Luo Lan:
"Shui Luolan, no matter whether your identity is true or false, and no matter how qualified you are as Princess Yu, I cannot condone your deception. Therefore, I will give you a chance. If you honestly tell me that you are close to the royal family, Purpose and your true identity, I will give you a lighter sentence, otherwise, I can only hand you over to the Criminal Division for interrogation."
The emperor's words were spoken lightly, but everyone present held their breath. Although Shui Chunhua and Mrs. Liu lowered their heads, their faces were already blooming with joy.
Concubine Chang Guifei had said that as long as Shui Luolan's identity was found to be false, she would reward them with another thousand taels of silver, which would be enough for them to squander for a while.
Concubine Chang Guifei and Concubine Li also raised their eyebrows at Shui Luolan, waiting for her to argue.
Luo Lan pondered for a while, leaned forward and replied expressionlessly:
"I have nothing to explain, and I have never admitted that my identity is false. I hope the emperor will notice clearly. If the emperor insists on handing me over to the Criminal Division, then I have nothing to say. In the end, it will be just a beating. I won’t bring up that nonsense either.”
Seeing her harsh words, a cold light appeared in the depths of the emperor's eyes. The majesty of the royal family cannot be violated. Thinking of this, he shouted sharply:
"Here comes someone! Take Princess Yu to the Sentence Department and torture her severely."
"etc……"
Leng Yu appeared in front of the emperor at the right time. When she saw his tall and mighty body, Luo Lan's eyes suddenly turned red. She felt that the tight string in her heart suddenly relaxed at this moment.
Leng Yu came to Luo Lan, looked at her with loving eyes, then clasped his fists at the emperor and said:
"Father, I don't care whether this Shui Luolan is real or fake. I have already determined that she is my Princess Yu, so I ask my father to take back my life."
The moment he spoke, Shui Chunhua and Mrs. Liu looked up at him. When they saw Leng Yu's flawless face, Shui Chunhua suddenly took a breath of cold air.
Oh my God, this Leng Yu actually has such a handsome face. If he had known this, he would have asked his mother to send him to Prince Yu's Mansion. Why did he take advantage of Shui Luolan?
When the emperor saw Leng Yu, his brows suddenly furrowed. He didn't expect Leng Yu to come back so soon. According to his expectation, Leng Yu would only come back at night.
What he didn't know was that Leng Yu had already told Xiao Lingzi that if anyone gave the princess trouble, he would tell him immediately.
When Luo Lan entered the main hall, Xiao Lingzi, who felt something was wrong, immediately sent a distress signal, so Leng Yu arrived in time.
The emperor twisted his eyebrows and glanced at Leng Yu, a coldness flashed across his eyes, and he said seriously:
"Yu'er, I know this woman treats you well, but she deceived you first and committed the crime of impersonation. This is something I will never tolerate, but she refuses to obey..."
"emperor……"
