C202 Princess Lu

Since he had nothing to do, Li Ruotong decided to take a look around the imperial garden.

"I heard that Imperial Consort Liu fell down by the Mirror Lake that day." The servant girl beside her reminded Li Ruotong, who was standing beside the railing.

Hearing that, Li Ruotong laughed sarcastically, "With this railing protecting her, she can actually fall down? How stupid!" His mocking words were spoken so clearly that they were not concealed in the slightest.

The servant girl behind him also laughed. It took only a few seconds for her smile to stop. "Empress, look over there!"

Li Ruotong followed the direction of her finger and saw a light yellow figure. That person had a slender body, and looked like he was extremely weak. She narrowed her eyes in order to confirm that person's identity. She complacently raised her eyebrows and walked towards that direction.

She would be able to recognize it even if it was burned to ashes.

Li Ruotong acted as if no one was around and walked over, as though he was ignoring her, she brushed past her shoulder and bumped into her a little.

"Who doesn't have eyes for walking!" Liu Chugrong frowned unhappily and turned around to glare at her.

Seeing the identity of the yellow man, Li Ruotong raised his eyebrows with a smile that was not a smile, and swept the weakness on Liu Chu Rong's face: "So it's Imperial Consort Liu, I really couldn't recognize it in front of my own eyes."

After falling into the water, she had been burning up. Even now, her body was still not completely fine. She was originally in a bad mood, but after being hit by someone for no reason, she felt even more frustrated.

He originally thought that it would be some rash little palace maid, but he didn't think that the one he would see in front of him would actually be the carrageenan! How dare a mere concubine be so disrespectful to a concubine like her!

His fingers slowly clenched into a fist, and Xiao Lv hurried to support her. Imperial Concubine's body had not fully recovered yet.

"Empress, are you alright?" Xiao Lv asked worriedly.

When these words landed in Li Ruotong's ears, she could not help but laugh, "I really did not see Imperial Concubine, but I did not expect the Empress to be so delicate and weak."

In Li Ruotong's opinion, Liu Chugrong was probably faking it, if he really was weak, then that would be asking for it!

Hearing her words and seeing the disdain on her face, Liu Chu Rong wanted to go up and slap her, "Does carrageenan know the rules of the palace?"

"I naturally know, but it was Imperial Concubine who couldn't remember it clearly, right?" Li Ruotong laughed happily, "Placing almond powder in Elder Sister Consort Xian's pastries will make older sister allergic to it, Imperial Concubine really knows a lot about palace rule."

She called Shen Qingwan "elder sister," but she ignored her, the imperial concubine!

"What are you talking about?"

An extremely dignified male voice suddenly appeared, interrupting the conflict between the two.

Li Ruotong turned her head around and saw a bright yellow figure walking towards them. The ridicule in her eyes immediately disappeared and was replaced with a faint smile.

Liu Chugrong's eyes also gradually lit up as he glared fiercely at Li Ruotong. Now was not the time to spoil her life for such a small matter, so he decided to temporarily endure it.

"Get up." Fu Yuheng paused his gaze on Liu Chugrong and frowned slightly.

"What are you two doing?" The two of them weren't compatible people, so it was a bit incongruous for them to be together now.

Speaking of this, Liu Chugrong's eyes looked wronged. He wanted to say something, but was beaten by someone beside him.

"Chenqie had just bumped into Imperial Concubine." Li Ruotong pretended to be apologetic and looked at the people beside him, then her eyes lit up again, "But Imperial Concubine has a large number of experts, I do not want to bother with chenqie."

As she said this, she smiled and expressed her gratitude to Liu Chugrong, as if there really was such a thing.

Liu Chugrong was furious. She said that, even if it wasn't the truth, she couldn't say anything else. Otherwise, the emperor would have to say that she was a scaredy cat.

Fu Yuheng frowned slightly as he looked at Liu Xiurong. "Is that so?"

She had no choice but to agree with a smile, "carrageenan's sister did not do it on purpose, how can chenqie blame you?"

Although he said this, his heart was filled with hatred.

Fu Yuheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Ruotong meaningfully. How could he not know that Liu Chugrong had a crafty personality? And how could Li Ruotong be such a polite person?

However, he was not willing to help Liu Chugrong, so he cleared his throat and said, "Okay, just pay attention next time." He then nodded slightly in the direction of Liu Chugrong, "You are not well yet, so you should walk around and recuperate in the palace."

With that, he left, and Li Ruotong did not want to waste anymore time with her, so he went to Shen Qing Wan Palace. He told her about the Imperial Garden, and his face was filled with pride.

"Elder sister, you don't even know how angry Liu Chugrong is. You really make people clap and cheer!"

Shen Qingwan only raised her eyebrows in disdain, disdaining Liu Chugrong.

The two of them chatted for a while before Zhao Yuanrong came over. Li Ruotong knew that they had something to say, so she tactfully left.

"I wonder why Big Sister Consort De is here today?" Shen Qingwan's tone was light, it was hard to tell what she was thinking.

Zhao Yuanrong had a smile on his face as he gratefully pulled her hand, "Little sister, thank you so much for comforting Ling Ling that day."

"It was nothing." Actually, she didn't take the matter to heart. After all, Liu Xiugrong was a thorn in the side in Fu Yuheng's eyes. However, he looked like he was trying to please Fu Yuheng by raising the corner of his mouth.

"Sis, if you have something to say, just say it." Shen Qingwan didn't want to see her like this either. After all, their relationship wasn't that bad.

"Then sister will be frank." She sighed helplessly. "The emperor cares so much about you. I hope my sister can speak up for him. She's only a child, so she lost her sense of propriety while playing around."

She was afraid that the emperor would be angered and punish An Lingling.

Hearing this, Shen Qingwan gave a shallow smile, neither too much nor too little. She could tell that the emperor didn't like Liu Chugrong. No matter what the reason was, as long as the emperor didn't like it, she wouldn't be too protective.

Her tone was firm as she comforted her, "Elder sister, don't worry. Third Princess is still young, the Emperor will definitely not punish him."

"Really?" Zhao Yuanrong's eyes revealed joy, seeing her determined look, his heart became a lot calmer, "Thank you, little sister!"

Shen Qingwan was indifferent towards this.

In these few days, due to the progress made in the matters of the Wu Shang Shu, he encountered a bottleneck, so he had nothing to do, and was prepared to go out for a walk.

He never thought that he would actually see the The Great Luo Country princess, Hua Moer, on the streets. Alone? She had a deep impression of this princess at the banquet last time, she was too weak!

Although he had his suspicions, he was prepared to ask, but he did not expect Hua Moer to recognize him.

Hua Moer took the initiative to walk towards her. She looked around anxiously, as if she was dodging something, "Concubine Xian." She bit her lips, feeling a little uneasy, and avoided looking at Shen Qingwan.

Shen Qing Wan was even more suspicious, Hua Moer had given her the impression of a quiet and reserved person, so how could she be here alone?

"Why are you here?"

Hua Moer had a very good impression of her. After all, he had helped her during the palace banquet, and now, she still felt that if she was the one who saved him, she would be a lot more at ease. "Concubine Xian, can you help me out by letting me hide here for a while?"

Shen Qingwan narrowed her eyes in suspicion, looking at her suspiciously. Hide and hide? What did that mean?

"What happened?" In the end, she couldn't help but ask.
