"Ah …" There are snakes and snakes, save me! " Not long later, Li Ruoxue's frightened voice came from the opposite room. Seems like Shi Anran was as afraid as she was in her previous life?
The news of Li Ruoxue being bitten by a poisonous snake quickly spread. Not only did it startle the Imperial Noble Consort Lan, even the Emperor himself had come late into the night, "How is Ruo Xue?"
The imperial physician bowed. "To reply Imperial Concubine, the poison in this body has already been expelled. It's fine now, but I still need to rest in bed for a few days."
"Why would there be venomous snakes in this good storage palace? It's all because the hands and feet of these Consort Candidate s aren't clean. I've always thought that the emperor must seek revenge for Ruoxue! " Li Ruolan said angrily.
The Emperor's expression was dark as his gaze swept across the Consort Candidate in front of him one by one. After that, he coldly glanced at the guards and asked unhappily, "Where did the poisonous snakes from the Hidden Soo Palace come from?"
"Your majesty, the forests around the palace are huge, connected to the mountains and rivers …" It meant that there was a poisonous snake, and the person who spoke was Imperial Noble Consort Zhao.
Hearing this, the emperor's expression eased a bit, as if he felt that her words made sense. He nodded, "Your beloved concubine's words are reasonable, but we still have to investigate thoroughly. If someone is scheming against us, I'll absolutely not let them off lightly!"
Li Ruolan's eyes reddened as she held onto his sister's hands. "Ruoxue, wake up quickly. Tell Big Sis who harmed you, I will definitely seek justice for you."
The emperor waved his hands impatiently. "Back to the palace. I'll send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly. No one is allowed to discuss it in private!"
Even if Li Ruolan had any objections, she didn't dare say anything when the Emperor said it. She could only bow her head and say: "Chenqie only loves my little sister dearly, maybe I was bitten by a poisonous snake today, maybe I would be poisoned tomorrow. Chenqie pleads for Your Majesty to arrange another residence for my little sister."
When he heard these words, the Emperor was obviously displeased. When Li Ruoxue was bitten by the poisonous snake, Li Ruolan thought that it was a trap and immediately asked to be investigated, this action was a little immoral, and now it became even more outrageous, the Emperor looked at her for a good while, and then indifferently said: "Everyone in the is equal, no one has any privileges."
After that, Li Ruolan did not say anything, and at this time, she had offended the Emperor, so she did not have any good days ahead of her, and in the end, she tactfully kept her mouth shut.
Shi Anran slept soundly that night. The next day, the emperor sent someone to thoroughly investigate the Sage Storage Palace. Naturally, they did not manage to find any clues.
When Li Ruoxue woke up, she ordered her men to release the snake, even if it was herself who bit it, she did not dare say anything, for fear that someone might find out and cause it to fly up to her feet.
"Mistress, everyone has gone to see Young Master Li. Aren't you going?" Xiu Er asked softly.
Shi Anran drank her tea and said lightly: "Let's go back later." Li Ruoxue should really want to see her now, right? However … She would not act too eagerly. Instead, she would make those who did not understand the situation feel that she was trying to curry favor with them.
In the afternoon, when everyone had left, Shi Anran then slowly pushed open her door: "I heard that little sister was bitten by a poisonous snake last night, is it okay?"
"Hmph …" Li Ruoxue's body was still weak, he could only snort and turn his head away from her.
Shi Anran smiled. "Since there's nothing else, then Big Sis will be leaving."
"Halt!" Li Ruoxue shouted: "Don't be complacent, I won't let this go."
"Oh? "Why does little sister say that?"
"Stop pretending to be stupid, Shi Anran! From today onwards, I, Li Ruoxue, will be irreconcilable with you!" Li Ruoxue said angrily.
Shi Anran smiled without a care: "Then little sister, you need to take care of your body first." Otherwise, they would have been tormented to death too early, how could they continue to play?
Looking at her leisurely walking away, Li Ruoxue was so angry that her face turned white. She bit her lips and muttered: "I won't let this go."
After failing to deal with her several times in a row, Li Ruoxue had a bad taste in her heart, and could only curse her even more fiercely. Shi Anran probably wouldn't be so lucky next time.
During the night, Hong Ling laid on Shi Anran's bed with the fruits in her hands and spoke into his heart. After taking a bite, she said unclearly, "Big Sister Anran, I heard that Imperial Noble Consort Lan is almost forty.
"Hong Ling, it's best not to discuss these matters in order to prevent others from hearing it. If I denounce you in front of the imperial concubine or the emperor, what will happen to you?" Shi Anran said faintly.
Hong Ling's eyes brightened, and nodded her head: "Big Sister Anran is the best."
"Alright, let's rest early."
After a few more days, the emperor selected a few Consort Candidate s to watch the duels between the princes. Shi Anran was fortunate enough to be selected.
"Why would a little girl like you need to go to such an extent?" Li Ruoxue said with a taunting tone as she walked past her.
The few of them were waiting for her to make a joke out of them. Unexpectedly, Shi Anran sat on the ground, with a generous and proper smile on her face, she slowly stood up with extreme elegance, and walked out of the storage palace without even looking at them.
When the scene entered Hong Ling's eyes, she thought to herself: This Big Sister Anran looked like an extremely quiet and quiet lady, but her every movement and smile seemed to be even more noble than a noble daughter, as if she was born with an indescribable noble aura.
Shi Anran's performance had really angered Li Ruoxue, and the two of them could be considered to be at odds with each other.
The Consort Candidate's identity was naturally inferior to that of a concubine, so she could only sit at the side of the concubine. The huge fighting stage had already been set up long ago, and at the moment, there were already guards beating their drums.
"This son greets royal father." The princes cupped their hands and bowed simultaneously.
The Emperor nodded in satisfaction and said, "All of you, dispense with the formalities."
While everyone was watching the match, Shi Anran's gaze was searching for Li Mu's figure within the crowd of people, and finally found him in an inconspicuous spot. Third Prince was good at camouflage, at this point in time, he would not reveal his true abilities, otherwise he would make the princes suspect him or even become wary.
When Li Mu went up on stage, with a playful posture, he jumped onto the horse with a beautiful flip of his body.
The one in his group was the current famous Crown Prince, Li Gan. The targets were all hit by the red heart, and only Li Mu missed his targets, there were even some targets that did not hit.
The emperor originally didn't have much hope for him, so he shook his head and said, "Third Bro, you have to train more. If you lose like this against an outsider, where would I put my face?"
Hearing that, Li Mu lowered his head: "This son will work hard!"
While he was speaking and working hard, he didn't seem to be practicing much. When the emperor's gaze turned towards the crown prince, he smiled in extreme satisfaction, "I am very pleased that the crown prince's archery skills have improved!"
"Thank you, royal father, for your praise. This is something this son should be good at." He spoke with extreme modesty, causing the emperor to laugh and cheer. It seemed that the emperor was still extremely fond of this crown prince.
No one would have noticed Shi Anran's position. Using the reason of going to the restroom, she left by herself, and when she reached a corner, she met the Third Prince. Her expression was not the least bit surprised, and she said calmly: "There might be someone assassinating the Emperor in a while, be more careful."
