Chapter 807 The Incident Was Sudden!
"Grandmother, I've been framed. Grandmother, you must do justice for me!"
Looking at Li Wanhe's teary eyes, the old lady was furious. She suddenly frowned and said, "Weren't you with Wanhua and the other girl? How come you're all alone now?"
Li Wanhe dared not tell the truth, but seeing that Li Wanhua was not present, she boldly said, "Grandmother, I don't know either. I only know that my third sister sat for a while and then said that she was a little tired. She was taken to the side to rest by two palace maids from the East Palace."
Madam Xu felt her eyelids twitch violently. She looked around and exclaimed, "Where is the Third Miss? Wasn't she supposed to be next door? Go find her quickly!"
"Yes, Second Madam."
The old lady really felt a headache coming on. In such a short time, she hadn't even figured out what happened to the fourth girl, and now the third girl had been dragged into it.
Before long, Mu Hua accompanied Li Wanhua in.
"Greetings to the Old Madam. The Third Miss just woke up and, upon hearing that something had happened to the Fourth Miss, she was about to go to the back to seek help from the Crown Princess. She was halfway there when she ran into me, so we turned back together."
The old lady finally felt more confident. As long as Mu Xin Nuan was involved, things would naturally be much easier to handle.
"Where is the Crown Princess?"
"Reporting to the Old Madam, because the Crown Prince is unwell, the Emperor has been away from the palace these days, and most of the affairs have been handled by the Crown Prince. Last night, the Crown Princess did not sleep well and kept saying that she felt heavy, so the Crown Prince did not close his eyes all night. He went to the morning court this morning and has a fever now. The Crown Princess can only go and take care of him first. However, the Crown Princess asked me to bring this message."
The prince consort's heart clenched with anxiety.
Li Wanhe's face turned deathly pale. By this point, how could she not understand that the Crown Prince was deliberately plotting against her! He wanted to see her humiliated and force her to become someone else's concubine!
Unexpectedly, the seemingly gentle and handsome crown prince was so ruthless, leaving her no room for maneuver and directly destroying her innocence.
At this moment, Li Wanhe could no longer hear what Mu Hua was saying. She was only thinking about how to turn the tables and how to dispel the doubts surrounding her.
Even if Grandmother doesn't believe it, at least Prince Consort Luo has to believe it.
She knew that the two had already been intimate, and it seemed that she had no other choice but to marry her as a concubine.
The Prince Consort Luo was truly wronged. He entered the place only to find it deserted. Later, he heard noises coming from the second floor and went up there without thinking.
Who would have thought that a beautiful woman would throw herself into his arms on the second floor?
The Crown Prince finally emerged from the water, and Mu Xin Nuan was relieved to see that his complexion had improved somewhat.
“Anuan, I know you must be protecting the Li family’s reputation, but that Li Wanhe is really no good. Even if you want to protect the Li family, you can’t let Prince Consort Luo think you’ll back up Li Wanhe!”
“I understand, you should rest for a while. Although the effects of the medicine have worn off, I’m afraid it may have harmed your health. This Li Wanhe is indeed a cunning person. Don’t worry, once I’ve dealt with Consort Luo, I will teach her a lesson.”
“You’re always too kind to your family, you can’t bring yourself to be ruthless. In that case, I’ll go with you.”
"But what about you now?"
Duanmu Chuze smiled and suddenly leaned his head closer. "I'm fine now. How about Anuan tries it and gets tested again?"
Mu Xin Nuan glared at him, then reached out and slapped his shoulder in an annoyed tone, "You're such a person, you never take advantage of others."
The two walked hand in hand out of the bedroom, and then slowly strolled to the front of the pavilion.
Duanmu Chuze was actually fine a long time ago, but he deliberately pretended to be unwell in order to stall Anuan.
Firstly, it was to see whether he, her husband, was more important to her, or her relatives.
Finally, Ah Nuan did not disappoint him.
It has to be said, this Crown Prince is really too idle; he gets jealous for no reason.
On the other hand, and most importantly, Duanmu Chuze wanted to use this opportunity to make the Li family see clearly that Mu Xinnuan was not only a relative of the Li family, but also the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace.
Anyone in the Li family who dared to target his wife, whether they knew about it or not, should be taught a lesson!
"Before I came out of the attic, I carried her up to the second floor and gave her an aphrodisiac. The aphrodisiac was extremely potent and could also cause people to lose their memory for a period of time."
Mu Xin Nuan was taken aback. "You mean, Li Wan He has completely forgotten that she took the initiative to throw herself into the arms of Prince Consort Luo?"
"Of course! That would make the play even more entertaining, wouldn't it?"
Mu Xin Nuan rubbed her forehead helplessly, wondering how she could have fallen for such a cunning guy.
Could this person be even a little bit more normal?
"Anuan, it's a promise. You can't be too attached to the Li family later. Even if Old Madam Li says something, you can't be soft-hearted. Besides, after all this, it's perfectly normal for Li Wanhe to marry into the Luo family as a concubine."
“I know that I will not be soft on Li Wanhe. I also understand your good intentions. You don’t want the Li family to become a burden to me. I am the Crown Princess now, and I should recognize my status. Aze, I will not let you down. No matter how much I value those relatives and friends, I cannot violate my principles, and I cannot ruin your important business.”
"That's good. Ah Nuan, I intend to give the Li family an important position, so before that, I must let them know who I am and who they are."
This is not only a punishment for Li Wanhe, but also a warning to the Li family.
If someone fails to recognize their own position and thus does something that is inconsistent with the rules and their status, then Duanmu Chuze would rather not have such a subject.
His subordinates can cause him trouble and put him in a difficult position, but they absolutely cannot always make him, the crown prince, clean up their messes.
Now, he wants to use Li Wanhe's matter to give the Li family a good warning. Just because the Li family was not affected this time, and even produced a granddaughter of the Crown Princess, doesn't mean they can be arrogant.
Although the direct descendants of the Li family had never done anything too outrageous, what about the servants? What about the collateral relatives?
In the attic, Mu Hua finished conveying the Crown Princess's message and then looked at Consort Luo, saying, "You are the consort, but this is the Eastern Palace. His Highness the Crown Prince has also said that before the matter is clarified, Consort Luo will have to bear with this."
