Chapter 700 Innocent Niece 8
Concubine Li had just heard Concubine Xu slandering her outside, and she spoke up before Concubine Xu could say anything.
"Your Majesty, I just heard that Miss Xu should be here. Where is Miss Xu now? If we find her, maybe we can find out what happened."
As soon as the emperor remembered it, he immediately sent people to look for it. At this time, Luo Chen thought it was almost done, so she found a closet in a side room and hid in it, waiting for someone to find her.
After a while, someone found Luo Chen. At this time, Luo Chen was unconscious. The servants called him twice, but Luo Chen did not wake up.
The servants immediately carried Luo Chen to see the emperor, and the chief eunuch said, "Your Majesty, Miss Xu was found in the closet of the next room, but she was unconscious."
The emperor asked the imperial physician to give Luo Chen two injections, and Luo Chen woke up slowly.
Looking at the people in the room, she suddenly showed a panic expression: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. What's wrong with me?"
The emperor looked at Luo Chen with cold eyes and asked, "Why are you here?"
Luo Chen said quickly: "It's Miss... It was Nanny Fang who was beside the Imperial Concubine who said that the Imperial Concubine specially allowed her to take a bath in the bathhouse of Jinhua Palace.
He said that this was not a place that ordinary people could enter, and it was specially awarded to me, my servant. After I arrived,
The bathtub was ready... Suddenly I felt someone hit me, and I knew nothing."
Concubine Li laughed out loud: "Oh, I am really enlightened. Everyone in the palace knows that Jinhua Palace is where the two princes live.
The place that the imperial concubine gave her unmarried niece to bathe in was actually the prince’s bathing pool.”
Luo Chen exclaimed in surprise and looked at it in disbelief: "What! The prince's bath? Aunt, you..."
Concubine Li continued, “Oh, Miss Xu, you don’t know, I thought the Xu family’s foster aunts were all madams hired from brothels.
Although I was a palace maid before, I was also a girl from an honest family who entered the palace. I knew from a young age that marriage between two families was determined by the parents’ orders and the matchmaker’s words. "
Concubine Xu quickly shook her head: "It was not me, it was Xu Luochen who wanted to marry Yi'er and seduced her herself."
Luo Chen was distraught: "Aunt, it was you who asked me to come here, otherwise I would have only been here for a few days and would not have known that Jinhua Palace was where the eldest prince lived.
I can also accurately find where the eldest prince takes a bath. This morning I went to find Princess Anle to come to Jinhua Palace to take a bath with me.
But the princess didn't tell me at all that this was the prince's residence. She even gave me pearl powder and asked me to soak in it for a while longer. "Aunt," Luo Chen wanted to ask.
My aunt clearly told my parents that she asked the Emperor to grant me a marriage with the eldest prince.
Why would you send me, the daughter of an official family, to the eldest prince's bed like a toy?
Princess cousin, don’t you know this is where the prince lives? Why didn’t you tell me? "
Everyone looked at Concubine Xu and Princess Anle with something strange in their eyes.
Concubine Li jumped out again and said, "This Imperial Concubine is really funny. If she wants to marry the eldest prince, she can just ask the Emperor to grant her marriage.
The emperor could have made her his principal wife just for the sake of the Minister of Personnel and the empress. Why would he have to do it without a matchmaker? This is the way to do things.
I really don’t understand. It seems that Princess Anle knows this at such a young age?”
Concubine Xu pointed at Luo Chen and angrily said, “How dare you, a bitch, slander me and the princess? The Japanese princess did propose to marry you to the eldest prince as his principal wife.
But the eldest prince doesn't like you, and I can force him to do it, so I have made it clear to you and promised to find you a suitable husband.
But you were blinded by the splendor and wealth in the palace, and actually found out the eldest prince's residence from Ling'er.
You sneaked here to seduce me. There is no such shameless bitch as you in the Xu family. "
Luo Chen pointed at Concubine Xu angrily and said, "Concubine Xu is really good at talking nonsense. You are confusing right and wrong. I have only been in the palace for a few days.
How could I have escaped from Chonghua Palace to Jinhua Palace without telling anyone in your palace? How could I have such a great ability?
Let the palace servants of Jinhua Palace obey my orders and prepare a flower petal bath for me in the eldest prince's bathing pool if I intend to seduce him.
Why did I ask the princess to come here? Do I have such great ability? "
Concubine Xu and Princess Anle felt extremely guilty and were unable to utter a word after Luo Chen's rebuttal.
Luo Chen looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, everything I said is true. I am willing to die to prove my innocence."
After saying that, he bumped his head against a pillar and fainted. Several women were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground. The emperor quickly asked the imperial physician to treat Luo Chen.
Zhao Yi quickly said, "Father, what Miss Xu said makes sense. How could she have the ability to transfer my servants?
I don't take flower petal baths either, so it's impossible for me to prepare them in advance."
Concubine Li immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Miss Xu has died to prove her innocence, which shows that this incident was indeed done by Concubine Xu.
Now Miss Xu’s matter is no longer important. What’s important now is to quickly seal this matter up and not let outsiders know about it.”
The emperor had a cold face and ordered Concubine Xu and Princess Anle to be locked up in their own bedrooms, and the eldest prince was confined to Jinhua Palace.
Luo Chen asked for treatment, and the matter was left to Concubine Li to investigate and make sure it was thoroughly investigated.
Concubine Li happily took on the task, and the emperor returned to his bedroom.
Concubine Li immediately brought Concubine Xu, Princess Anle and all the palace servants around Zhao Yi for interrogation under Luo Chen's arrangement.
These people said everything that Luo Chen had arranged, and Concubine Li was shocked to see how complicated it was.
The next day, after the emperor left the court, Concubine Li presented the result. The emperor spat out blood after reading it. It said that Princess Anle had been secretly in love with the eldest prince for many years.
Knowing that Concubine Xu was going to send Luo Chen to the eldest prince, she quietly followed him to Jinhua Palace, knocked Luo Chen unconscious, and entered the bath herself.
Concubine Xu was afraid that the eldest prince would reject the marriage, so she wanted to make the matter a fait accompli before asking for the marriage, because she was afraid that Luo Chen, a daughter of an official family, would not be willing to be seduced.
So he didn't tell Luo Chen, but the eldest prince knew about Concubine Xu's arrangement and pretended not to know, and went with the flow. He got the beauty without having to give her the position of principal wife.
The emperor never expected that his children and concubine would be such people. He spit out a mouthful of blood and fainted. When he woke up, he immediately issued an edict to demote Concubine Xu to a noble lady.
Princess Anle was sealed in the palace and was never allowed to go out again. The eldest prince was confined to his house for a year to study again, and Concubine Li was promoted to Noble Concubine Li.
He was in charge of the six palaces, the second prince was named King of Jin, and he entered the court to listen to government affairs, and Luo Chen was sent home.
Luo Chen was afraid that the emperor's sudden death would benefit the eldest prince, so he helped the emperor extend his life for a year, and then happily left the palace to prepare for the next plan.
Special arrangements were made for the palace servants who were involved, so that in case the royal family wanted to kill them to silence them, at least their lives could be saved.
