"You are quite courageous." Emperor Xiao Ping spoke in a low voice, his eyes were deep, and it was unclear what he liked or disliked.
Su Ruohua swayed like a willow in the wind, her eyes charming as she said in a delicate voice, "Your Highness, I am very timid. If you don't believe me, come and listen."
Seeing that she was about to walk to Emperor Xiao Ping, Emperor Xiao Ping held his breath. Seeing that she was about to come closer, he used the pen in his hand to block her.
Su Ruohua was stunned for a moment, then smiled charmingly.
She thought that Emperor Xiao Ping had been drugged and had no idea that he didn't want her to get close to him.
She thought he wanted to play something else, so she twisted her body and knelt down in front of him obediently.
A charming little face raised slightly, eyes were charming and hooked, and she reached out to lift the man's clothes -
When Emperor Xiao Ping saw her like this, he suddenly felt nauseous. Seeing that the woman's hand was about to touch the hem of his clothes, he couldn't help but kicked the woman on the shoulder.
But he held back. After all, Su Ruhua was Su Wanti's sister, and he couldn't hurt her.
Otherwise, based on her crime of giving the emperor an aphrodisiac today, she would be sentenced to death eight or ten times over.
Emperor Xiao Ping's force was not strong enough, and Su Ruohua fell on her back on the ground, rolled over, and lay on her side looking at him.
Emperor Xiao Ping had internal energy to protect his body and was not affected by any aphrodisiac. Su Ruhua had absorbed quite a bit of it, but now she just felt uncomfortable with the heat.
Her eyes moved, and there was spark in her eyes as she looked at Emperor Xiao Ping.
Her voice was so charming that it could drip water. "Does Your Majesty want to lie on the ground——"
She giggled, supported her elbows on the ground, held her chin with one hand, and stroked her exquisite curves with the other fair hand.
Emperor Xiao Ping couldn't bear to watch this any longer. He closed his eyes and said coldly, "Xiao Dezi, get someone to bring a bucket of ice water!"
Eunuch De was guarding outside the door and heard everything going on inside clearly. His heart was pounding, and he was afraid that the emperor would blame him for letting people in.
After hearing the emperor's order, he hurriedly asked the eunuch to prepare ice water.
In just a moment, the ice water was brought into the Qinzheng Hall.
At that time, Su Ruohua was still on the ground winking at the emperor. Eunuch De and the eunuchs carrying water all lowered their heads, too embarrassed to watch.
"Your Majesty, the ice water is here."
Emperor Xiao Ping sat upright on the dragon throne and raised his finger, "Pour it all on her."
The young eunuchs had been serving in the imperial court since they were young and obeyed the emperor's orders.
Without a second's hesitation, they lifted the buckets and poured two buckets of ice water over Su Ruohua's head.
"Puff—cough cough cough" Su Ruohua was drenched and felt cold all over. She even choked a few times.
The two buckets of ice water made her completely sober. She was wet and cold all over. She huddled on the cold and wet ground, her eyes full of confusion.
"Your Majesty..." She raised her eyes slightly, her eyes gleaming with a pitiful look, "Your Majesty, do you not like your subject?"
Emperor Xiao Ping was extremely annoyed by her pretentious appearance, but he still held his temper and said:
"Who arranged for you to come?"
Su Ruohua's eyes evaded, "Your Majesty, I don't understand what you are saying—"
Emperor Xiao Ping raised his chin to Eunuch De and said, "Little Dezi, go get that incense burner for her."
"The incense in this incense burner was given to you by the Queen Mother, right? It has aphrodisiac properties. Giving me drugs is tantamount to treason, and you will be punished by slow slicing."
His voice was so cold that Su Ruhua couldn't help but shiver. She folded her arms and knelt down properly.
She lowered her eyes slightly, turned her eyes, and said in a sad voice:
"Your Majesty, I had no choice but to do this. You've blamed the wrong person. The medicine was given to me privately by my sister. She said—"
She raised her eyes, looking frightened.
Emperor Xiao Ping frowned, his eyes shimmering with undercurrents. "What did she say?"
Su Ruohua hunched her shoulders, lowered her head, and said timidly:
"My sister knew that I had entered the palace. She found me a few days ago and gave me this medicine in private. She said that she had been accompanying the emperor for a long time and was afraid that His Majesty would dislike her. She wanted me to serve His Majesty together with her in order to ensure that His Majesty's favor would continue—"
After she finished speaking, she secretly raised her eyes to look at the emperor's expression.
Emperor Xiao Ping's face was gloomy, and he exuded a murderous aura. His slender fingers clenched the armrests of the dragon throne. Su Ruohua could see the veins bulging with anger.
Su Ruohua lowered her head and pursed her lips slightly.
There was a glimmer of success in her eyes. Since she couldn't get the emperor's favor, she might as well pull Su Wanti down and make the emperor dissatisfied with her. Let's see how long she can be proud?
Emperor Xiao Ping did not ask any more questions. He opened his thin lips and said, "Take Su Ruohua and take her to the imperial palace to await my decision."
"Your Majesty—Your Majesty—I am innocent. It was my sister who made me do this—"
Su Ruohua was halfway through shouting when the young eunuch covered her mouth and pulled her away.
Emperor Xiao Ping looked at her back, his eyes dark and he said coldly:
"How dare you frame the Imperial Concubine with such a dirty thing? How audacious! If she weren't Earl Su's daughter and the Imperial Concubine's sister, how could I have spared her life?"
Eunuch De stepped forward cautiously, "Your Majesty, what should we do with this Second Miss Su?"
Emperor Xiao Ping thought for a moment and said, "Let me ask the imperial concubine first. After all, she is from her family. I cannot deal with her lightly. Don't let her blame me."
He looked at the incense burner on the ground and said in a voice as cold as the winter wind, "Send this incense burner to the Queen Mother."
————
After Su Ruhua entered the palace, Su Wanti asked the system to report her whereabouts at all times.
Before, she was quite obedient and only stayed in the Cining Palace.
But today, she appeared in the Qinzheng Hall, and then went to the Ye Ting, until now.
