Chapter 295 It’s not me!
There were two young eunuchs guarding the door of the dressing room. They stopped Concubine Li and prevented her from entering.
Concubine Li was displeased: "You two slave dogs, why are you blocking my way?"
The two young eunuchs felt bitter.
Neither the Crown Prince nor Concubine Li were people they could afford to offend.
One of them bowed to Concubine Li and smiled ingratiatingly.
"Your Majesty, it's not that we don't want to let you in, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered that no outsiders are allowed in. If we let you in without permission and make the Crown Prince unhappy, everyone will suffer in the end. I hope Your Majesty will forgive us."
It was precisely because of the consideration for the Crown Prince that Concubine Li did not dare to force her way in.
She looked at the closed door in front of her, and became more and more certain that something had happened to Duan Liangdi.
I just don’t know what happened?
Concubine Li raised her chin slightly and said, "Then go in and tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that I have something to ask for an audience."
"Yes."
A young eunuch pushed the door open and walked into the room.
The moment the door opened, Concubine Li leaned over and took a look inside the room.
Unfortunately, there was a large screen at the door, and the view inside the room was completely blocked by the screen. Concubine Li could only vaguely see a few blurry figures through the screen.
Soon the door was closed.
Concubine Li could only look away and stand at the door patiently waiting.
Not far away, a few palace maids and eunuchs were looking over here curiously, wanting to know what was happening here.
In the locker room.
The prince listened to the eunuch's report with no expression on his handsome face, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Duan Liangdi thought of a lot in just a short moment.
She knew that she was being plotted against.
Whether it was the palace maid who accidentally spilled wine on her, or the strange man who suddenly appeared in the dressing room, they were all arranged in advance by others with the purpose of destroying her innocence.
Although she and Yingxiang worked together to knock the man unconscious and preserved her innocence, she knew in her heart that this incident would become a thorn in the prince's heart.
Even if the prince was kind and did not punish her, she would never be favored again.
Thinking of this, Duan Liangdi's resentment continued to surge in her heart.
The person who plotted against her must be one of those women in the Eastern Palace!
At this time, when Duan Liangdi heard that Concubine Li had arrived, she was moved. Could it be that Concubine Li had done it?
It must be her!
It must have been Concubine Li who arranged everything and showed up at the critical moment, pretending to have accidentally discovered the fact that she had committed adultery with other men and deliberately made a big deal out of it. In this way, she couldn't wash herself clean even if she jumped into the Yellow River!
Duan Liang Di thought more and more about it, and said with red eyes: "Your Highness, Concubine Li did not show up earlier or later, but appeared at this time. The timing is too coincidental."
Luo Qinghan looked at her expressionlessly: "Do you suspect Concubine Li?"
"I feel that the timing of her appearance is too suspicious. I'll have to trouble Your Highness to help me thoroughly investigate the truth."
Luo Qinghan: "Since you suspect her, let her come in and confront you face to face."
The young eunuch opened the door and signaled Concubine Li that she could come in.
Concubine Li brought Caiyun into the house.
They walked around the screen and finally got a clear view of the interior of the house.
Concubine Li reacted extremely quickly and understood what was going on almost instantly.
Without even thinking, she blurted out, "It's not me!"
Luo Qinghan looked at her coldly: "Why not you?"
Concubine Li knew that she was in big trouble this time.
She secretly regretted why she came to join in the fun. Now, instead of watching the fun, she got herself involved.
Concubine Li tried hard to defend herself: "I really don't know anything. The reason why I showed up at this time is because I saw Your Highness coming upstairs. I was curious and wanted to know what happened upstairs, so I wanted to come up and take a look."
Duan Liang Di tearfully asked, "So many people downstairs saw the prince coming up, why are you the only one curious and no one else is curious?"
Concubine Li curled her lips: "How should I know? Maybe I'm just unlucky."
Duan Liangdi felt that Concubine Li was just quibbling.
Concubine Li felt that she was very wronged.
The two of them started arguing.
Duan Liangdi: "You must have deliberately framed me. You are just jealous of my favor and want to destroy me!"
Concubine Li: "You are not the only one favored by the prince, why should I frame you? Compared to you, I hate Concubine Bai and Concubine Xiao more. If I want to harm someone, I will definitely start with them!"
Duan Liangdi: "You are making up stories!"
Concubine Li: "You are being unreasonable!"
…
Luo Qinghan: "Shut up!"
Duan Liangdi and Concubine Li noticed that the prince's expression was not very good. They were afraid that he would get angry, so they quickly shut their mouths.
Luo Qinghan said in a deep voice: "Duan Liangdi is under house arrest from now on. Without my order, you are not allowed to leave Ningwu Garden."
Duan Liangdi's face turned pale and she looked panic-stricken.
Concubine Li laughed triumphantly.
Just then, she heard the prince continue.
"Concubine Li, go back to your Golden Wind Palace and continue copying your scriptures. The last time you copied the Lotus Sutra 100 times, it didn't make you calm. This time, you should copy it 200 times."
The smile on Concubine Li’s face froze.
She had finally managed to escape from the nightmare of copying books!
She would rather go to Ziyun Temple to reflect for a while than copy books!
Copying books is simply not something a human being should do!
Concubine Li wanted to cry: "Your Highness, I am really wronged! I just happened to be here, please forgive me!"
Luo Qinghan: "I didn't do anything cruel to you because I knew you were wronged. Otherwise, do you think you can get away with just copying the scriptures? These two hundred copies of the scriptures are to teach you a lesson. Don't join in the fun in the future, or you'll get into trouble."
Concubine Li couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears.
She was wrong!
She shouldn't have joined in the fun!
If she hadn't joined in the fun, she wouldn't have been dragged into this trouble!
If she had not been involved in this trouble, she would not have been punished to copy the Lotus Sutra two hundred times!
Her life is so miserable!
Luo Qinghan said coldly: "Don't spread this matter for now. I have other plans."
Duan Liangdi and Concubine Li could only accept it reluctantly.
"Yes."
Luo Qinghan: "Mo Hua, take someone to carry this man out, don't let anyone find him."
Mo Hua responded respectfully, "Yes."
Luo Qinghan took Eunuch Chang out of the dressing room.
The two young eunuchs guarding the door immediately knelt down and saluted.
Luo Qinghan noticed the people who were looking over here not far away and whispered.
"Chang Xi, go and drive those people away."
"Yes."
Eunuch Chang walked up to the palace maids and eunuchs and said something to them. After hearing what he said, the palace maids and eunuchs were very scared and did not dare to stay there any longer. They ran away in a flash.
Luo Qinghan then slowly walked downstairs and returned to his seat.
