Chapter 481 Does it look familiar?
Liu Xiang bowed to Emperor Chengde, and then endured the humiliation and took Liu Anyao and the unconscious Madam Liu to leave the palace first...
The palace banquet continued, but no one wanted to continue the performance. Looking at Emperor Chengde and others at the top with extremely ugly faces, they even became cautious when eating.
It should have been a joyous day with music and drums, but no one dared to even breathe, and they just wanted the party to be over as soon as possible.
Perhaps it was because the people’s voices were too strong, but not long after, Emperor Chengde told everyone to do as they pleased and left first.
I'm so angry that I wonder if I can eat anything.
As soon as Emperor Chengde left, the Empress Dowager also left.
So Queen Song also left.
The three most honorable persons left the table, and the other concubines realized that there was no need to stay, so they all got up and left.
The masters had all left, and the ministers did not want to stay any longer, so they said goodbye to each other and left.
…
The sky was covered with heavy clouds, slowly obscuring the bright moon.
Lu Xiang followed the old lady out of the palace, but saw an uninvited guest beside his carriage.
"Miss Third, can you please talk to me for a moment?" Liu Anhui looked at Lu Xiang with a stern gaze. Her expressionless face was the calm before the storm.
Lu Xiang raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded gently.
"Xiangxiang..." The old lady looked at Lu Xiang worriedly, her brows twisted into knots.
Liu Anyao had just gotten into trouble, and Liu Anhui was waiting for Lu Xiang here. Even though the old lady didn't know the reason, she had vaguely guessed something and was worried that her granddaughter would suffer at the hands of Liu Anhui.
Lu Xiang smiled at the old lady and said, "Don't worry, grandma. She won't dare to do anything at the gate of the palace."
Old lady: "We'll wait for you in the car."
"Yeah." Lu Xiang nodded.
Lu Xiang followed Liu Anhui to an empty corner.
Liu Anhui stared at Lu Xiang without blinking, the suppressed anger in her eyes almost burning him: "It's you, right?"
"I don't understand what Concubine Liu means." Lu Xiang said indifferently.
Liu Anhui gritted her teeth fiercely: "You don't have to pretend. Liu Anyao would do such a shameless thing because you drugged her."
"So what if it is? So what if it isn't? Concubine Liu wanted to watch the show, but she didn't expect to become a character in the show in the end. I wonder how she feels now?"
Liu Anyao wanted to drug her. Even if Liu Anhui was not an accomplice, she must have known it clearly, otherwise she would not have come to blame her.
Liu Anhui was startled and looked sideways. Under the palace lantern, Lu Xiang's profile was glowing, as if covered with a layer of light gauze. The corners of his slightly raised mouth had a strange arc as he looked at her, as if smiling.
"It's you."
"Oh, it's just a case of giving someone a taste of their own medicine. Concubine Liu dares to say that Liu Anyao has never thought of drugging me?"
Liu Anhui's body shook involuntarily, she was shocked, staring at Lu Xiang with her eyes wide open, pretending to be calm and said, "You...you are talking nonsense, it is obviously you who framed my fifth sister with evil intentions, she didn't prepare this kind of medicine to harm you, I will report it to the emperor and ask her to investigate this matter thoroughly and give justice to my fifth sister, you, a vicious woman, should be despised and deserve death..."
"Really? If it's not this kind of medicine, then what kind of medicine is it?" Lu Xiang said, and suddenly raised her arm. Liu Anhui clearly saw that there was a small paper bag between her fingertips, and her face suddenly changed.
"This is……"
"Does it look familiar? It's what your fifth sister is hiding on her body."
Liu Anhui was greatly shocked.
How is it possible? When did Lu Xiang get the paper bag containing the powder...
Liu Anhui couldn't figure it out. Looking at Lu Xiang's mysterious eyes, a chill rose in her heart for the first time. Lu Xiang's thoughts were more terrifying than she had imagined.
She pretended to be calm as she looked at Lu Xiang, sneering, "Miss Lu San is so funny. She just picked up something and said it belonged to my fifth sister. This dirty method of framing others is so handy. It seems that she has done this kind of thing many times."
"Same here." Lu Xiang was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "The final result is that I am safe and sound, Liu Anyao is ruined, and you are also implicated. I don't know if you can still keep your position as the second prince's concubine. If Concubine Liu wants to clear Liu Anyao's name, you must do it as soon as possible. After all, I also want to know what Liu Anyao wants to do by hiding the drug powder in the palace. I wish you good luck. Goodbye."
After saying that, Lu Xiang stopped looking at Liu Anhui's extremely difficult expression and turned away.
The moment Lu Xiang saw Liu Anyao in the palace, she decided to do this. It was inconvenient to act in the palace, but she could curry favor with someone powerful.
Ah Man was agile and immediately went to find Sheng Xian quietly after receiving her instructions, and then informed Chu Jinyan of her plan. Doctor Miao was Chu Jinyan's man, so it was not difficult for him to get some of this medicine that could cause people to lose their composure.
Afterwards, Ah Man disguised himself as a young eunuch and mingled among the busy palace servants in the hall, doing things according to her wishes.
She and Liu Anyao didn't have many opportunities to attend banquets at the same time, so Lu Xiang guessed that Liu Anyao would most likely try to trick her at the palace banquet, so she asked Ah Man to keep an eye on Liu Anyao at all times. Before the palace banquet began, Liu Anyao handed the medicine bag to a palace maid who had been bribed in advance, and Ah Man took the medicine away from this palace maid.
If Lu Xiang hadn't taken it out herself, Liu Anhui wouldn't have known that the medicine had already been in her hands.
Liu Anhui stared blankly at Lu Xiang's departing back, feeling cold all over.
Liu Anyao dared to take action at the palace banquet because she had the capital to be arrogant. As long as her father did not give up on her, she would be the noble daughter of the prime minister's mansion, loved by Concubine Shu, protected by the empress dowager, and helped by other gifted girls like Chu Pan'er and Zheng Wenshuang. So she dared to plot against Lu Xiang at the palace banquet because she was confident enough that she could get away with it.
But what about Lu Xiang?
Even though she is favored by the Queen, it is not a reason for her to take action. She has no relationship with the Queen, and if the matter is exposed, the Queen may not protect her.
But she didn't care, and wasn't even afraid that anything would happen. This kind of reckless madness made Liu Anhui tremble in her heart.
No wonder Liu Anyao often suffers at her hands...
Lu Xiang went to tell the old lady first, and the old lady immediately asked, "Did she embarrass you?"
"No." Lu Xiang said softly.
The old lady nodded slightly, and Lu Xiang got on another carriage. Qiao Jingru and Lu Qiao had been waiting anxiously.
