Chapter 232 Unwilling to Spread Rumors

Emperor Yuan Yong also echoed Xu Lanshan and said, "You go first. The Imperial Concubine is right."

Du Qingzhi was furious, but she still had to put on a gentle smile, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Soon the sedan was ready, and Xiao Fuzi and Nanny An helped to carry Du Qingzhi out.

As he sat in the sedan chair, Du Qingzhi's face suddenly turned cold and as gloomy as ice.

What a Concubine Chen! She's just jealous! That's why she's targeting me on purpose.

In Lianyi Palace, Xu Lanshan was feeling rather glum, and Emperor Yuan Yong was also feeling strangely unhappy. Both of them were upset by Du Qingzhi's situation.

Xu Lanshan smiled and said, "Today's incident has reminded me. Your Majesty, could you please tell Miss Du that I have to take care of the little prince, and in my spare time, I'm thinking of embroidering a purse and sachet for Your Majesty. Unless it's something urgent, why not ask Miss Du not to come to my place again? I really don't know how to entertain Miss Du, nor do I know what to talk to her about. I'm always exhausted and embarrassed to talk. You know I'm too lazy to put my mind to these things! Otherwise, let her go and talk with someone else to relieve her boredom?"

"Besides, I'm also worried that if she falls in Lianyi Palace next time, I won't be able to explain it clearly! I'm afraid she will misunderstand, and I'm also afraid that the emperor will misunderstand. Your Majesty, is it okay..."

Emperor Yuan Yong was a little surprised: "Does Miss Du come to Lan'er's place often?"

Xu Lanshan nodded repeatedly, looking extremely troubled!

Emperor Yuan Yong smiled and said, "Lan'er has to take care of the little prince, so she really doesn't have much free time. How could I not know your lazy nature? Well, I'll have someone talk to her later. That purse sachet you mentioned...when will it be ready?"

Xu Lanshan laughed and gave him a coquettish glance: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Your Majesty will be there for you! When have I ever broken my promise?"

Emperor Yuan Yong smiled and embraced her in his arms: "Then I will be waiting!"

The two chatted and laughed intimately for a while, and Xu Lanshan, feeling somewhat worried, warned, "By the way, when the Emperor tells someone to talk to Miss Du, please be tactful and gentle, and explain things to her properly. Don't let her misunderstand! If Miss Du misunderstands that I despise her, I won't care. I'll just settle the score with the Emperor!"

Emperor Yuan Yong was both amused and annoyed: "Don't worry, she won't."

Xu Lanshan smiled sweetly: "Yeah!"

I act like I believe everything you say.

In fact, I thought to myself, "Haha," no? Someone like Du Qingzhi, really wouldn't do that?

She was sure that the Du Qingzhi that the emperor knew and the Du Qingzhi that the emperor saw were completely different from what they saw - especially what she saw.

Du Qingzhi always showed off in front of him how unusual her relationship with the emperor was. If he could only lose control of himself a little, he would have quarreled with her long ago.

Even if there is no fuss now, it is already disgusting.

However, Xu Lanshan had no intention of mentioning these things to Emperor Yuan Yong.

Why are you in such a hurry? It’s still early!

She didn't believe that Du Qingzhi could endure staying in the palace in such an unclear situation. Sooner or later, she would be unable to bear it and express her true feelings to the emperor. By then, the emperor would naturally know what kind of person she was.

Xu Lanshan was sure that the emperor had no feelings for her at all, otherwise he would not have waited until now and done nothing.

If it was really as Du Qingzhi said, the emperor would have been eager to confer the title on her and pamper her to the sky.

But she didn't get any favors!

All that is left is the past feelings of freedom in the palace.

This means nothing in Xu Lanshan's eyes.

Xu Lanshan didn't mention Du Qingzhi anymore and started talking about other things with Emperor Yuan Yong.

He stayed overnight, and the two of them were intimate and warm again.

He now treats her with even more passion, and their affection grows stronger day by day. How can Du Qingzhi compare?

She is inferior to anyone, whether on the couch or outside the couch!

Not many people took Du Qingzhi's fall seriously, and it didn't even cause a stir in the palace.

This is completely different from what Du Qingzhi thought.

She had thought that at least someone would make a big fuss about this and attack Concubine Chen, thinking that Concubine Chen was framing her.

But, there really is nothing.

The more Du Qingzhi thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt - in this case, wouldn't her fall have been in vain?

"Yunlan, Yunxiang, take some silver and go spread the news for me..."

Since no one said anything, she would find a way to get people to say it.

She didn't believe that the concubines would not take advantage of this opportunity to add insult to injury!

Could it be that they were all willing to watch Concubine Chen oppress them and do nothing?

Yunlan and Yunxiang were both startled: "Girl! This, this——"

"Do as I say."

Yunlan said in a trembling voice: "Miss, we servants are not very familiar with this palace. If someone finds out, I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."

If it is really discovered, it would be a frame-up of the imperial concubine.

Framing the imperial concubine was no small matter, enough to cost the lives of humble maids like them.

I'm afraid he'll die in a very undignified way.

Du Qingzhi refused to accept this loss and sneered, "What are you afraid of? I have my own way! Just be careful."

Xu Lanshan would be too busy looking after herself to investigate this. Even if they did, she wouldn't be afraid. Just be careful and don't show her face.

Yunlan and Yunxiang had no choice but to agree.

This rumor was first spread by the eunuchs serving in the imperial garden. As Du Qingzhi expected, many people were willing to push the wall down and go with the flow.

Anyway, I don't have to take any responsibility. At most, I'm just following the crowd, which is nothing.

But if it is possible to frame and slander the favored imperial concubine, or even better, to bring her down, why not do it?

When Concubine Bai found out, she hurried to Lianyi Palace to ask Xu Lanshan. Only then did Xu Lanshan know what was being spread outside, so she ordered Xiao Fuzi to investigate.

Xiao Fuzi was quick and well-informed, and he had a general idea of ​​the situation in just one day.

Xu Lanshan sneered: "This matter spread quickly in the palace. I'm sure the Queen must know about it too, right?"

Xiao Fuzi nodded without hesitation: "Of course."

Xu Lanshan said, "Since the Empress is playing dumb and clearly doesn't want to get involved, we don't need to bother her. Nanny An, please take good care of the little prince. I will go to Qianyuan Palace now."

Xiao Fuzi was stunned: "Your Majesty, don't you want to wait for the Emperor to come..."

Xu Lanshan sneered: "I can't wait!"

Xu Lanshan came to Ganyuan Palace, threw herself into Emperor Yuan Yong's arms and started crying, which surprised Emperor Yuan Yong who was writing furiously at his desk reviewing memorials!

"What's wrong with Lan'er? What happened? Stop crying, stop crying, and tell me. I will definitely take care of Lan'er..."
