Chapter 503 Empress Li’s Thoughts
"In June, lotus fragrance fills the lake, and red clothes and green fans reflect the clear waves."
This poem by Empress Li brought back Luo Lan's thoughts.
"It seems that Empress Li is quite familiar with ancient poems."
Empress Li looked at her with a resentful look, and then said to the girl beside her:
"Everyone retreated. I and Princess Yu have a few words to say."
After hearing this, the girls around her retreated one after another. Luo Lan knew that although this Empress Li looked simple and simple on the outside, she should actually be very meticulous, otherwise she would not be able to climb to the position of the imperial concubine in a short period of time.
Seeing that everyone left, Luo Lan pointed to a white lotus in the lake and murmured:
"It comes out of the mud but is not stained, and is washed in the clear water but is not charming. The flowers of lotus flowers are beautiful, the fragrance is overflowing, and the green leaves are covered with green colors, symbolizing freedom and independent life without being bound by the world. Does Empress Li yearn for such a life?"
Empress Li stood still and looked at her. After a while, she suddenly smiled bitterly.
"I have no right to yearn for life now. The only thing I can do is think about how to survive."
"What will Empress Li tell me?"
Luo Lan knew that she had shut down the servants around her and must have something to say to her. If she guessed correctly, what she was going to say must have something to do with Concubine Li.
Seeing her asking, Empress Li slowly walked forward again, muttering with resentful eyes:
"I know why those concubines died in the past, so I lived carefully and felt like walking on thin ice every day. This kind of life made me feel unable to breathe, so I want to fight back..."
When she said this, she looked up at Luo Lan and continued with a serious expression:
"I know that Concubine Li has always regarded you and Prince Yu as thorns in her eyes and flesh. This is also the reason why I dare to say these words to you. The reason why I want to say a few words to you alone is that I want you to give me an idea. How can I kill her in one attack?"
One fatal?
Luo Lan raised her crystal eyes and looked at her, and suddenly she smiled.
"Concubine Li's status in the palace has long been deeply rooted. Do you want to kill her? That seems difficult, very difficult. If she hadn't done something that made the emperor angry, no one could have won her status. Besides, in less than a month, she would be the queen. At that time, the entire harem would be her world."
"I don't want her to be the queen."
When talking about this, Empress Li was a little anxious, "If she became the queen, I would definitely be the first person to deal with. So, within these twenty days, I must let the emperor take back the sacred order, no matter what method I use."
Although Luo Lan has no intention of harming others, she is like Concubine Li. She really doesn't want Concubine Li to take the position of the queen. This is also what she has been thinking about during this period.
Now that I heard Empress Li say this, she suddenly felt that this was a good opportunity. The princess outside the palace had no chance to attack. It might be easier for the pregnant Empress Li in front of her to stop her, so why not take advantage of it?
To be more precise, this is not considered a use, it is just giving her an idea.
Thinking of this, she lowered her head and pondered for a while, then frowned, thinking about the plots in ancient palace dramas, and murmured:
"If the emperor wants to temporarily suspend her from making her a queen, he must let the emperor see her evil heart, and everyone must see it. Otherwise, with the importance of her and Leng Xi in the emperor, it would be easier to defeat her."
Luo Lan did not directly tell Empress Li what to do, but gave her a tactful guide. She believed that with her intelligence, she would definitely understand it.
Empress Li was stunned for a moment, then grinned. She immediately stopped mentioning this matter, but changed the topic:
"Look, how beautiful the lotus over there is, let's go there and take a look."
From her expression, Luo Lan realized that she probably knew what to do.
At this moment, a shout came from the other side, "Someone fell into the water, someone fell into the water, come quickly..."
Luo Lan suddenly felt bad and said to A Cai and A Hong:
"Quickly, go there and have a look."
That direction was exactly the direction where Huaiyu and An An left just now, and Xiaobao and Yu Qiaoqiao also went in that direction.
Luo Lan prayed in her heart with a dark face, but she must not let these three children get into trouble.
As she thought about this, she also took big steps and couldn't wait to rush over there.
Because the shouts there were too high and the noise was too loud, everyone heard the cry for help there, and the emperor, Leng Yu, Leng Xi, and Leng Ming, who were playing chess with Lele, hurried over with a group of ministers.
When everyone saw Xiaobao who had just been fished out of the river, lying in Yu Qiaoqiao's arms wet, Leng Xi's face suddenly sank. He pointed at Yu Qiaoqiao who was constantly comforting Xiaobao and asked loudly:
"What the hell is going on?"
Yu Qiaoqiao blushed and shook her head timidly.
"I don't know either. I just sat in the pavilion over there for a while, and when I turned around, I saw Xiaobao falling into the river."
At this time, Xiaobao, whose face was red, pointed at An An who was standing not far away, coughed and shouted:
"Cough! Cough! It's her, that dead girl, who pushed me down the river, Dad, you have to make the decision for Xiaobao."
Seeing Xiaobao pointing to him, An An immediately looked at Xiaobao with his hands on his hips and said,
"Don't talk nonsense. It's obvious that you accidentally fell into the river. What does it have to do with me? I also said that you wouldn't push me down the river, but you fell into the pond by yourself."
"presumptuous."
Concubine Li took two steps forward with a dark face, stared at An An and scolded him with a stern voice:
"Little girl, dares to lie? How could Xiaobao fall into the pond by himself? It must be that you two negligent children who are united to bully Xiaobao. Your Majesty, do you have to make the decision for Xiaobao? They are not bullying Xiaobao once or twice. Every time they meet, Xiaobao will be hurt by them."
Leng Xi looked at An An with his back hand, and asked with a pale face as soon as Li Fei finished speaking:
"Why did you push Xiaobao into the water? Who instructed you to do this?"
Seeing the mother and son joining together to question An An, Luo Lan's anger came in an instant. She looked at Leng Xi coldly and replied with a angrily look:
"Prince Xi, how can you, as an adult, come and ask the child without asking any questions? Apart from Xiaobao's saying that An An pushed him into the water, who else can prove this? If no one can prove it, you have no reason to frame her?"
Seeing that my mother was talking for her, An An immediately straightened her neck and replied loudly:
