"The fragrance of lotus flowers fills the lake in June, and red clothes and green fans reflect the clear waves."

This poem by Empress Li brought back Luo Lan's thoughts.

"It seems that Ms. Li is quite familiar with ancient poetry."

Empress Li glanced at her sideways with resentful eyes, and then said to the girl beside her:

"Please step aside. I and Princess Yu have a few words to say."

After hearing this, the girls around her retreated one after another. Luo Lan knew that although Empress Li looked innocent and simple on the outside, she was actually very thoughtful, otherwise she would not be able to climb up to the position of noble concubine in a short time.

Seeing everyone leaving, Luo Lan pointed to a white lotus in the lake and murmured:

"It emerges from the mud without being stained, and washes the ripples without being evil. The lotus flowers are delicate and fragrant, and the fragrance is spread far away. The green leaves are green, symbolizing freedom and an independent life unfettered by the world. Does Li Empress long for such a life?"

"

Empress Li stood still and looked at her. After a while, she suddenly let out a wry smile and said,

"I no longer have the right to yearn for life. The only thing I can do is think about how to survive."

"What does Mrs. Li want to say to me?"

Luo Lan knew that she had something to say to her when she rejected the servants around her. If she guessed correctly, what she wanted to say must be related to Concubine Li.

Seeing her taking the initiative to ask, Li Niangniang walked forward slowly again, murmuring with resentful eyes:

"I know why those concubines died in the past, so I live cautiously. I feel like walking on thin ice every day. This kind of life makes me feel like I can't breathe, so I want to fight back..."

When she said this, she looked up at Luo Lan and continued with a serious face:

"I know that Concubine Li has always regarded you and Prince Yu as a thorn in her side. This is why I dare to say these things to you. The reason why I want to say a few words to you alone is to let you give me an idea.

, how can I kill her with one move?"

One fatal move?

Luo Lan raised his crystal eyes and looked at her, and suddenly smiled,

"Concubine Li's status in the palace has long been ingrained. Do you want to kill her with a fatal move? That seems difficult, very difficult. If she hadn't done something that made the emperor furious, no one could have touched her.

Moreover, in less than a month, she will become the queen, and by then, the entire harem will be hers."

"I don't want her to be queen."

Mentioning this matter, Li Niangniang was a little anxious, "If she becomes the queen, the first person she has to deal with will definitely be me. Therefore, within these twenty days, I must make the emperor take back his holy order, no matter what method is used."

Method."

Although Luo Lan has no harmful intentions, like Concubine Li, she really does not want Concubine Li to take the position of queen. This is something she has been thinking hard about during this period.

Now when Li Niangniang said this, she suddenly felt that this was a good opportunity. She, the princess who was outside the palace, had no chance to make a move. The pregnant Li Niangniang in front of her wanted to stop her. It might be easier, so why not take advantage of it?

Just a moment.

To be more precise, this is not considered taking advantage, it is just giving her advice.

Thinking of this, she lowered her head and pondered for a while, then frowned, thinking about the plots in those ancient palace battle dramas, and murmured:

"If you want the Emperor to postpone the appointment of her as his queen, you must let the Emperor see her evil heart, and let everyone see it. Otherwise, given the importance of her and Leng Xi to the Emperor, if you want to break the relationship,

It's easier said than done to defeat her."

Luo Lan did not directly tell Empress Li what to do, but gave her tactful guidance. She believed that with her intelligence, she would be able to understand.

Li Niangniang was stunned for a moment, then grinned. She immediately stopped mentioning the matter and changed the subject:

"Look, the lotus flowers over there are so beautiful. Let's go over there and have a look."

From her expression, Luo Lan realized that she probably knew what to do.

At this moment, there was a shout from the other side, "Someone fell into the water, someone fell into the water, come here..."

Luo Lan suddenly felt bad and hurriedly said to Ah Cai and Ah Hong:

"Quick, go over there and have a look."

That direction was exactly the direction Huaiyu and An An left just now, and Xiaobao and Yu Qiaoqiao also went in that direction.

Luo Lan looked gloomy and prayed secretly in his heart, please don't let anything happen to these three children.

While thinking about this, she took big steps and rushed over there impatiently.

Because the shouts over there were too loud and the noise was too loud, everyone heard the cries for help over there. The emperor, Leng Yu, Leng Xi, and Leng Ming, who were playing chess with Lele, also led a group of ministers and hurried away.

Came over.

When everyone saw Xiaobao, who had just been fished out of the river, lying wet in Yu Qiaoqiao's arms, Leng Xi's face suddenly darkened. He pointed at Yu Qiao, who was constantly comforting Xiaobao.

Qiao asked loudly:

"what happened?"

Yu Qiaoqiao blushed and shook her head timidly.

"I don't know either. I just went to sit in the pavilion over there for a while, and when I turned around I saw Xiaobao falling into the river."

At this time, Xiaobao, whose face was red, pointed at An An, who was standing not far away, coughed twice and shouted:

"Cough! Cough! It was her, that dead girl, who pushed me into the river. Dad, you have to make the decision for Xiaobao."

Seeing Xiaobao identifying herself, An'an looked at Xiaobao angrily with her hands on her hips,

"Don't talk nonsense. It was obviously you who fell into the river accidentally. What does it have to do with me? I also said that you tried to push me into the river but failed, and you slipped and fell into the pond."

"presumptuous."

Li Fei took two steps forward with a dark look on her face, stared at An An, and scolded sternly:

"Little girl, how dare you lie? How could Xiaobao fall into the pond by himself? It must be you two neglectful children who ganged up to bully Xiaobao. Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for Xiaobao? They are not once

They bullied Xiaobao twice, and every time they meet, Xiaobao will be hurt by them."

Leng Xi looked at An An with his hands behind his back. The moment Li Fei finished speaking, he asked with a livid face:

"Why did you push Xiaobao into the water? Who ordered you to do this?"

Seeing the mother and son teaming up to question An An, Luo Lan was instantly angry. She looked at Leng Xi coldly and replied with an angry look:

"Prince Xi, how can you, an adult, come to interrogate a child like this without asking the truth? Apart from Xiaobao saying that An An pushed him into the water, who else can prove this? If no one can prove it, you have no reason.

Framing her?"

Seeing that her mother had spoken for herself, An An straightened her neck and replied in a high-pitched voice:

"No one instigated him, and I didn't push him into the water. He approached the edge of the pond and accidentally slipped into the water. We were so far away from him. Even if I had eight legs, I couldn't fly to him in a short time.
