Although the emperor's words were very calm, Concubine Li felt that it was a mockery of her. Especially when she saw Concubine Li smiling happily, her face suddenly became gloomy.

The emperor actually mentioned in front of so many people that he had been living in Furong Palace for the past few days. This was obviously an attempt to save face for Concubine Li in front of everyone. In this way, Concubine Li would definitely suppress her more unscrupulously in the future.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Her originally rosy face turned blue with anger. The fingers of both hands were digging into her palms tightly. When her eyes swept over the smug look on Concubine Li's face, she gritted her teeth in hatred.

Leng Yu clasped his hands together and replied solemnly:

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Garden has been newly decorated. You will surely be delighted when you see it. After you enjoy the flowers and scenery, I will arrange for several royal heirs to perform for you. Today's lunch will be prepared according to the standards of a grand ceremony held in the palace. In the afternoon, the families of the ministers will perform dances to liven up the atmosphere. When the moon is full, we will all enjoy it together. There will be cakes, fruits, and mooncakes for everyone to enjoy. In addition, I have prepared fireworks, which will be set off when the moon is full..."

After listening to Leng Yu's introduction, the emperor nodded with satisfaction. Since he fell ill, he has become more and more satisfied with Leng Yu's work.

"Okay, Yu'er will take care of it. I'm at ease. Liu Xi, please move to the Imperial Garden. I want to go enjoy the flowers and scenery."

Liu Xi hurriedly shouted at the top of his voice:

"The Emperor has ordered that everyone move to the Imperial Garden."

After hearing this, everyone moved aside to make way. Just as the emperor was about to stand up, Concubine Li suddenly stood up from her chair, without saying anything, knelt before the emperor, and accused him with a serious face:

"Your Majesty, I heard that you have been lingering in Hibiscus Palace recently. I have some doubts in my heart. Please allow me to speak out."

The emperor's brows were twisted into a shape of a "川" character, and he looked at her with displeasure in his eyes.

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, a day for family reunions. Please don't disturb everyone's good mood. If it's not something extremely important, let's talk about it later. I'm in a hurry to go enjoy the flowers."

When Concubine Li heard Concubine Li mention Furong Palace, her expression became unusually gloomy. It seemed that what Concubine Li wanted to say was related to her Furong Palace.

She had been staying at Hibiscus Palace quietly lately, so she shouldn't have been able to get hold of anything against her. What did she want to say?

Seeing that the emperor did not want to hear her finish her words, Concubine Li continued to insist:

"Your Majesty, the reason I want to speak out now is because there have been a lot of rumors in the harem recently. For the sake of the royal family's reputation and to silence the public, I want to speak out this matter while everyone is here to avoid malicious speculation behind my back. Please allow me, Your Majesty."

After hearing what Concubine Li said, everyone started whispering to each other. Luo Lan even looked at Leng Yu with a puzzled look.

What kind of tricks is this Concubine Li going to pull next?

The emperor's face turned cold as ice in an instant.

He raised his hand impatiently.

"Hurry up and tell us, don't disturb everyone's interest."

It was obvious that the emperor had reminded her for the second time not to say anything that would affect his mood at this time.

I don’t know whether Concubine Li really didn’t hear it or she was pretending not to understand.

She tightened her throat and said seriously:

"I heard gossip in the harem, so I sent someone to inquire. I heard that the emperor has been lingering in Hibiscus Palace recently because there is a special pot in Hibiscus Palace. The pot looks strange and is not common in the world. It can heat and cook meat and vegetables. Out of curiosity, I sent someone to investigate. It turned out that Concubine Li had not left Hibiscus Palace during this period. The pot seemed to have appeared out of thin air, which made me feel very strange. The most important thing is that, as far as I know, Concubine Li can't cook. She can't even tell whether the food is raw or done. How can she suddenly know everything now? And she has bewitched your majesty. I wonder if Concubine Li is possessed by something? Or has she learned some unknown witchcraft?"

After hearing her words, Luo Lan couldn't help but lift up her handkerchief to cover her mouth and laugh. How could Concubine Li, who was always smart, ask such a stupid question in public?

Leng Yu also looked at her and shrugged helplessly.

The emperor's face was expressionless. He turned his head to look at Concubine Li, who was sitting there with a flushed face, and said in a deep voice:

"Please explain this matter, my beloved concubine!"

In fact, the emperor was also quite curious about the pot, but after asking several times, Concubine Li was unwilling to tell him the origin of the pot. After a long time, he was too lazy to ask anymore.

Since Concubine Li has raised her doubts on this occasion today, it is also a good opportunity to let Concubine Li explain the origin of the pot.

Concubine Li looked a little nervous. She came before the emperor, knelt timidly, and mumbled back:

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, your concubine...your concubine..."

Seeing that Concubine Li was speechless, Concubine Li became more certain that there must be something wrong with Concubine Li, so she struck while the iron was hot and continued:

"Li Guifei, everyone is here today. Please explain this matter clearly to avoid people making random guesses behind your back. This will not only be bad for your reputation, but also insult the emperor's reputation."

Seeing Concubine Li's aggressive attitude, Luo Lan was about to step forward to explain, but Leng Yu stopped him by shaking his head.

He winked at her, and Luo Lan stopped moving forward.

Concubine Li knelt on the spot, her face flushed red, and she seemed a little embarrassed.

The emperor frowned upon seeing this and raised his voice impatiently, asking:
