As soon as he said this, Li Xiaoran felt even more terrified.

However, before she could say anything, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. After looked up in a certain direction, Li Xiaoran’s eyes widened.

“Husband, there’s someone there!”

Luo Cheng thought that Li Xiaoran was trying to scare him and was immediately amused.

“Who is there? Look at you. You can’t even pretend!”

Li Xiaoran said anxiously, “Really, there’s someone there! Someone hung himself! ”

Only then did Luo Cheng realize something. He turned around and looked in the direction Li Xiaoran was looking.

Luo Cheng was frightened out of his wits.

In a forest in the distance, a woman in white was hanging from a tree and swaying. It was a terrifying sight.

“Are you sure that’s a human and not a ghost?”

Li Xiaoran said, “That person still has emotions, so she’s definitely not a ghost. How can a ghost have emotions that I can feel?” Then, Li Xiaoran started shouting.

Li Xiaoran shouted, “Someone, come quickly. Someone hung herself!” Now, many people heard Li Xiaoran’s words and ran over.

In the palace, the emperor suddenly saw Xiao Dezi walking over.

After Xiao Dezi said something in the emperor’s ear, his expression changed.

“Your Majesty, what’s wrong? Did something happen?”

The emperor smiled when he heard the empress dowager’s words.

“Mother, it’s nothing serious. It’s just that Luo Cheng’s wife encountered something! I have to go over and help her now. Otherwise, she won’t send me delicious food in the future! I really like the food she makes, so I’ll go over and take a look first!”

The empress dowager nodded with a smile when she heard that.

“Alright, zo ahead!”

The emperor nodded and left with Xiao Dezi.

After the emperor left, the empress dowager became even more disinterested, but she still perked up and went to watch other people singing and dancing.

Since her son had to resolve it personally, it must be something troublesome, so as his mother, she should stay here and take care of things for her son!

Soon, the emperor arrived at the forest under Xiao Dezi’s lead.

When the emperor saw the woman who had been saved and was being treated by the imperial physician, his expression turned even uglier.

“What the hell is going on?” the emperor asked through gritted teeth.

Li Xiaoran said, “What else could it be? It’s obvious that she hung herself to cause trouble for the emperor during the empress dowager’s birthday!”

When Luo Cheng heard his wife’s words, he quickly reached out and pulled her sleeve, signaling her not to spout nonsense.

Li Xiaoran also came back to her senses and stopped speaking.

She really hadn’t done it on purpose just now. When she was thinking about this, she happened to hear the emperor’s words, so she blurted it out.

After being reminded by Luo Cheng, Li Xiaoran came back to her senses. After the emperor glanced at Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng, he asked, “Why are you two here?”

Luo Cheng reported truthfully, “Father, we were originally out here to pay respects, but when we were washing our hands by the pavilion over there, we saw a woman in white hanging here. Xiaoran was frightened and cried out.

This attracted the attention of the palace guards!”

When the emperor heard this, he looked at a man standing at the side.

Seeing the emperor looking at him inquiringly, Tao Zhixin quickly replied, “Your Majesty, I did come over because I heard the consort’s shout. Then, I looked in the direction Seventh Consort was pointing and saw someone hanging in the forest!”

When the emperor heard this, his expression improved.

“The two of you have been gone for so long. Your grandma has asked about you guys several times. Hurry up and go back to accompany her! By the way, don’t tell anyone about what happened here!”

After Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran nodded, they quickly left.

After walking for a while, Li Xiaoran heaved a sigh of relief.

“No wonder people often say that there are more vengeful spirits in the royal family. It turns out to be true!”

When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he asked curiously, “Why did you say that it’s a vengeful spirit?”

“Because that person was hung on a tree after she was drugged!” Li Xiaoran said, “I sensed that she was still dreaming!”

Luo Cheng was speechless when he heard this.

“Have you forgotten what Father just said? Forget what happened today! Don’t say anything after you go in. Keep your mouth shut!”

When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she immediately pursed her lips and nodded, indicating that she would definitely remember his instructions.

Soon, the couple returned to the palace together and sat down together while pretending that nothing had happened.

When the empress dowager saw the two of them return, she only nodded with a smile. Then, she focused on watching the performance in the palace.

Li Xiaoran heaved a sigh of relief.

Before long, the emperor came in.

However, from the emperor’s expression, it was impossible to discern his emotions.

However, Li Xiaoran could clearly sense that the emperor was very angry.

He was even angrier than before they left!

Could something have happened after they left?

For the sake of her life, she shouldn’t think too much about anything else.

After that, everything went smoothly. Nothing else happened.

Finally, the palace banquet ended.

Li Xiaoran yawned as she was pulled into the carriage by Luo Cheng.

Soon, the carriage left the Imperial City and set off for the Seventh Prince’s residence.

When they arrived home, Li Xiaoran had already fallen asleep on Luo Cheng.

It couldn’t be helped. Participating in the palace banquet was too tiring.

Looking at those high-ranking officials wearing facades and clearly gritting their teeth in hatred but still acting harmonious on the surface, Li Xiaoran felt tired for them.

Therefore, after the palace banquet, Li Xiaoran was exhausted.

When they got out of the carriage, Luo Cheng picked Li Xiaoran up. As if smelling Luo Cheng’s scent, Li Xiaoran suddenly muttered,

“Husband, let’s go home! Home is best!”

Luo Cheng nodded softly when he heard this.

“Go home” sounded so heartwarming!

Luo Cheng was very glad that he didn’t insist on marrying Li Yan back then and that he married Li Xiaoran instead.

Because with her around, he finally had a home in this world.

Since Xiaoran didn’t like the capital, he should bring her back to Sichuan!

The revenge plan had been arranged, so they just had to follow the plan.

As for the throne, whoever wanted to have it could have it!

Anyway, he didn’t like it!

Li Xiaoran didn’t know that because of her fatigue, Luo Cheng had made up his mind to leave the capital.

When she woke up the next morning, Li Xiaoran heard a piece of news.

“You’re leaving tomorrow?”
