Shi Wei took the phoenix sedan chair and soon arrived at the Imperial Garden with Zuo Xuanxiang.
Shi Wei was sharp-eyed and saw at a glance that Liu Zhao was hugging Chen Lulu and standing in the sea of flowers, looking very affectionate.
If other concubines encountered such a thing, they would just hide away and get angry, but Shi Wei didn't do that.
She went straight around the rockery from the back.
At times like this, it would be better to go up and cause trouble.
"Your Majesty, when will you banish the imperial concubine to the cold palace?"
"What? Are you anxious?"
"The Imperial Concubine caused me a lot of trouble during the beauty pageant! The Emperor didn't even help me vent my anger!"
"She is still a noble concubine after all. Please be as tolerant as possible. I cannot touch her now."
"I think you can't bear to let her go! Such a great beauty! Besides, there's more than one of her. There's another one in Chu Xiu Palace now. You must have changed your mind!"
"Who I love the most, don't you know?"
…
Zuo Xuanxiang was so angry at the scene before her that she gritted her teeth. She didn't expect that the person she treated as a sister would not only harm her, but also secretly want to harm the imperial concubine who had done her a favor.
Zuo Xuanxiang couldn't help but rush forward to ask, but was stopped by Shi Wei.
Shi Wei smiled faintly and shook her head at her.
Zuo Xuanxiang finally endured it.
"Wow! This Imperial Garden is really a great place. I was just strolling around and unexpectedly ran into our busy emperor."
Shi Wei walked out from the back mountain.
As soon as he heard Shi Wei's voice, Liu Zhao pushed Chen Lulu out as if by reflex.
Chen Lulu was caught off guard and fell to the ground in an instant.
Liu Zhao felt distressed, but he didn't dare to help her. He just smiled and said to Shi Wei, "My dear, why are you here in the Imperial Garden?
Based on his past observations, Gu Shiwei was the most lazy person and hated going out in the summer, especially in a place like the Imperial Garden where the sun was shining brightly.
That's why he scheduled the date in the Imperial Garden.
"Of course I'm here to see the flowers! I didn't expect to run into Your Majesty. What a coincidence!"
Liu Zhao coughed lightly and stared at Shi Wei with a doting look on his face: "If you like flowers, you should tell me. I will order someone to send you the most beautiful and colorful flowers in this garden."
Shi Wei pretended to have just noticed Chen Lulu lying on the ground and asked in surprise, "Ah! Isn't this Chen Xiu Nu who stepped on the tail of Zuo Meijie's skirt? Why is she here in front of His Majesty? And she even fell down?"
"This young lady is so clumsy that she even fell down when she was greeting me."
Liu Zhao waved to Chen Lulu and said indifferently, "Okay, you can go down now!"
Chen Lulu then slowly got up and said unwillingly, "Yes."
Chen Lulu thought fiercely, this damn bitch! When she becomes the queen, she will definitely kill her!
Zuo Xuanxiang looked at Shi Wei anxiously: "My Lady!"
After Chen Lulu took two steps despite the pain, Shi Wei said coldly, "Wait!"
"What else is there?" Liu Zhao felt a little guilty, afraid that Shi Wei would discover his flaws.
Shi Wei's lips curled up into a cold smile: "Of course it's about Chen Xiu Nu murdering Zuo Xiu Nu!"
"How is this possible!" Liu Zhao immediately denied it: "Lulu is a kind person, how could she possibly hurt someone!"
"Really?" Shi Wei's smile grew even more sinister. "The Emperor knows Chen Xiu Nu quite well! He even remembers her maiden name!"
"This..." Liu Zhao was sweating coldly.
Shi Wei said, "Everyone in Chu Xiu Palace has confessed. Emperor, do you want to protect her?"
"This... they must be trying to frame her!" Liu Zhao said firmly. Seeing Shi Wei's expression was not right, he quickly said: "I mean, this kind of thing must be investigated thoroughly. We can't wrongly accuse a good person."
Chen Lulu also knelt on the ground with hatred, pleading pitifully: "Your Majesty, please investigate! I didn't do anything. Those people must have wanted to harm me!"
"So many people want to harm you, it seems you're not very popular!" Shi Wei said with a smile, then glanced at Liu Zhao and said, "If you're worried that I've wronged someone, then the emperor should also follow me to Chu Xiu Palace!"
After Shi Wei finished speaking, she got into her phoenix sedan chair and had someone carry her back.
Liu Zhao glanced at Shi Wei in the phoenix sedan with a bad expression. Worried that Chen Lulu was being wrongly accused, he followed her to Chu Xiu Palace.
The palace maids and the concubines naturally repeated their testimonies.
Liu Zhao didn't believe it at all. In his heart, Chen Lulu was still the well-behaved and lovely girl she was when she was a child. She would not harm anyone. At most, she would just say a few words and that would be it.
But when twenty taels of silver were presented to him, his expression changed slightly.
Wasn't this something he had someone give to Chen Lulu? He was worried that she wouldn't have a good time in the palace, so he specially gave her a thousand taels of silver.
Shi Wei smiled as she picked up the two silver coins and said, "This is the new official silver that came out this year. Does Chen Xiunv have any?"
As everyone knows, Chen Lulu's family is impoverished and her father is just a porter. How could he have so much money?
"No."
"Then where did this silver come from?"
