"As long as I agree to the prince's request, I will be fine."
She nodded, raised an eyebrow, and repeated his words, then said, "The prince is indeed very capable. What do you want me to do for you?"
Seeing that she finally gave in, Leng Yun immediately rubbed his hands together with a smile, and said with an impatient smile:
"I don't have any requests. It's just that it's late at night and you're alone here in a daze. I feel sorry for you. Plus, I've been feeling rather bored lately. Why don't we have some fun together?"
"OK!"
Luo Lan nodded without thinking. She pointed at a lotus pod that looked plump by the lake and looked at him pitifully.
"To entertain you? That's a good idea, but I need to see the prince's sincerity. If the prince is willing to pick the largest lotus pod in the lake and give it to me, I will go and entertain him."
Hearing her words, Leng Yun suddenly became excited. Could it be that he would be able to get Leng Yu's woman today?
Thinking of this, he looked at her proudly and asked excitedly, "Are you serious?"
Luo Lan blinked cunningly, then nodded, "Seriously."
After receiving her affirmative answer, Leng Yun lifted his clothes and smiled at her evilly.
"Okay, if you keep your word, I'll go right away."
After saying that, he excitedly ran to the edge of the lake, half leaned over, and stretched out his arms to grab the lotus pod.
Luo Lan pursed her lips and said loudly to him:
"Prince, can't you reach it? Let me help you!"
After saying that, she quickly stood up and rushed towards the prince before he could speak. Leng Yun used all his strength and muttered,
"No need... just come here, I'll catch it right away."
Luo Lan was behind him, raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hands, placed them on his shoulders, and said softly:
"Prince, I'm here to help you."
As she said this, she pushed hard with both hands. Leng Yun only had time to scream "Ah" and had no time to react before he fell directly into the lake.
He splashed around in the lake for a few times and choked on the water. Fortunately, the water was not deep. He wiped the water off his face and pointed at her. Before he could say anything, Luo Lan looked at him in surprise.
"Prince, why are you so careless? Wait, I'll go get someone to rescue you."
After saying this, she turned around triumphantly and prepared to leave.
But at this moment, she discovered that Concubine Chang was standing in front of her like a giant Buddha with a dark face, and beside her, Ruyi was looking at her with a smug smile.
Could it be that Concubine Chang saw what happened just now?
She calmed down her emotions, bowed,
"Good luck to Concubine Chang."
Concubine Chang gave her a meaningful look, then said to the eunuchs behind her:
"Hurry up and rescue the prince."
Upon hearing this, those people quickly ran towards the lake.
Concubine Chang looked at her with half-closed eyes, her eyes were sharp.
"What are you doing, Princess Yu? Failing to get along with him, you push him into the water? Do you acknowledge your guilt?"
After hearing this, Luo Lan really wanted to go up and slap her in the face.
The corners of her mouth twitched, and she raised her head and whispered to Concubine Chang:
"Excuse me, Your Majesty, which eye saw me and the Crown Prince having an affair? The Crown Prince accidentally fell into the water, and I just happened to see him. I can't swim, and I was looking for someone to save him."
"You're talking nonsense."
Ruyi took two steps forward, pointed at her, and raised her voice while pinching her nose:
"I saw it. It was clearly you who pushed the prince down, yet you still refuse to admit it."
Hearing this, Luo Lan thought to himself that something was wrong. Who could have thought that Concubine Chang would appear here at this time?
Now it's really hard to explain.
Concubine Chang showed a smug smile on her face, she frowned and said in a cold voice:
"Shui Luolan, the Emperor summoned you to the palace because you committed a serious crime and wanted to put you on trial. Yet, you're here, trying to have an affair with the Crown Prince. Then, you're trying to kill him by pushing him into the river in such cold weather. What are your intentions? Who told you to do this?"
Hearing this, Luo Lan frowned and looked at her, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? First of all, I have no intention of harming the Crown Prince, and secondly, no one asked me to do this. I wonder why Your Majesty deliberately said this? No matter what, I am your daughter-in-law after all. Are you willing to put Mo Xuyou's crimes on me? I really have never met a mother like you."
"Shut up."
Ruyi strode forward as she spoke, "How dare you speak to the Empress like that? You really don't know how to live or die."
As soon as she finished speaking, she stretched out her hand, ready to hit Luo Lan's mouth, but her wrist was tightly grasped by Luo Lan. She looked at her with gritted teeth and said coldly:
"You little bitch, who do you think you are? You're so brave to try to attack this princess."
After saying this, she pushed back hard, causing Ruyi to stumble and fall directly onto Concubine Chang. She hurriedly stood up, lowering her head in grievance, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, Ruyi didn't mean it."
Concubine Chang didn't look at her, but raised her eyebrows and looked at Luo Lan, questioning sternly,
"Just because you are my daughter-in-law, I cannot condone your evil deeds. Today, I saw with my own eyes that you wanted to harm the prince. I cannot sit idly by and watch this happen."
After she finished speaking, she shouted angrily to the people around her:
"Someone, Princess Yu has disregarded palace rules and shown disrespect to the Crown Prince. Tie her up."
"stop!"
Just as the people behind Concubine Chang were about to take action, the prince's voice stopped them.
The prince came to her, all wet, and pointed at her.
"Shui Luolan, you're so cruel."
Shui Luolan pulled the corners of his mouth into a wry smile, turned around and said to Leng Yun:
"Crown Prince, Concubine Chang said that I was having an affair with you. When that didn't work, she tried to push you into the water. You need to explain clearly what you were doing here and why you ended up in the water. Otherwise, others will really think that you and I are doing something unspeakable here. If the Crown Prince and Princess Yu were having an affair, it would be a big deal if it got out."
Luo Lan deliberately made the matter sound more serious. She concluded that Concubine Chang only saw her pushing Leng Yun into the water, otherwise Ruyi would not have only said that she wanted to harm the prince. She said that she had an affair with the prince, and she must have wanted to kill two birds with one stone. This must have been her imagination. She had no real evidence, so her accusation was not accurate.
Her words made Leng Yun frown. His father had already been furious about his evil intentions towards Luo Lan. If this matter was brought to his father's attention, he would be in trouble.
Besides, this Imperial Concubine Chang has always been eyeing the Crown Prince like this. If she hadn't been afraid of the power of her grandfather and uncle, she would have taken action against her long ago.
So, he cleared his throat and said to Concubine Chang:
"Mrs. Chang misunderstood. I was just trying to catch some fish in the river and I accidentally fell in. Princess Yu happened to be passing by and wanted to save me, but she couldn't swim, so she went to call for help. How could she have pushed me into the water? And how could she have tricked me?"
After he finished speaking, he pointed at the maids and eunuchs around Concubine Chang, "Who of you saw it? Who saw it?"
