The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

"What did you say?" For a moment, Concubine Li's mind went blank.

She stood up in panic, looking at the emperor beside her who was already suspicious, she knelt down without knowing why: "Your Majesty, I don't know..."

She really didn't know, and didn't even know Xue Panrou.

"Empress Li?" Huo Zhiyu was also confused: "Why would the Empress do this?"

Concubine Li just shook her head anxiously: She did something shameful, but Xue Panrou was really not ordered by her!

At this moment, the people of the Northern Di delegation were watching such a farce as if they were watching a joke, and the emperor's face was even more gloomy.

A servant could be dealt with at will, but having his favorite concubine involved in such a scandal was a real loss of face for him.

Unexpectedly, the emperor suddenly smiled and said, "Don't worry, my beloved concubine. How could I believe the slander of a lowly slave and doubt my beloved concubine? Please sit down."

Even so, Concubine Li saw a chilling coldness in the emperor's eyes.

It's not that he didn't care, but he didn't want to lose face in front of the Northern Di people. Just like how he treated Concubine Song that day, he didn't get angry on the spot, but secretly made people suffer more than death.

If Concubine Song had not died, she would have been separated from her child after giving birth, or even sent to the cold palace under some excuse.

They all knew how petty their emperor was.

Thinking of this, Concubine Li felt weak all over and slumped in the chair as if exhausted.

Upon hearing this result, Xue Panrou cried heartbreakingly, but someone blocked her mouth and dragged her away.

After Xue Panrou was dragged away, the emperor smiled to cover up the trouble and said to the Beidi envoy: "I'm sorry to make you laugh."

After that, he changed the subject: "Well, it's getting late, and I don't know if your Highness has sobered up."

He stood up, holding his round belly: "I'll go to Liuhua Pavilion to take a look."

When Huo Zhiyu heard the words "Liuhuaxie", his eyes trembled noticeably.

Beside the emperor, Concubine Ge hurriedly supported him and served him diligently.

It's a pity that I failed to kill Huo Zhiyu. There's nothing to see if I go to Liuhuaxie now.

Thinking of this, she felt disappointed.

The emperor took the empress and several favored concubines to Liuhuaxie, and the Northern Di envoys followed them. Concubine Li took her leave on the grounds of feeling unwell, and the empress dowager also returned to Jianzhang Palace to take a rest.

The remaining guests were then free to do as they pleased, either staying at the table to chat or walking around in the imperial garden.

But Zhao Shen suddenly discovered that there was a piece of paper under the fruit plate in front of him.

He picked up the note, glanced at it, and quickly closed it, his eyes full of surprise.

He glanced around and made sure that Zhao Lian had gone out to stroll with the other ladies and no one was staring at him. Then he took out the note again and read it carefully.

"Your Highness is in trouble, Liuhuaxie comes to the rescue."

He muttered this to himself, feeling more and more anxious, and quickly stood up and ran towards the Liuhua Pavilion.

……

Xue Zhiyi did not go to see Huo Wuyou, but followed Huo Zhiyu and left the table.

When there was no one around, she said, "The princess doesn't look well, but has she recovered yet?"

Huo Zhiyu's eyelashes trembled. She lowered her voice, with fear in her eyes: "Sister Zhiyi, I was walking around the Taiye Lake today. I don't know what I ate by mistake. I felt dizzy, and then a palace maid told me to help me to rest at the Liuhua Pavilion... Just now, my uncle said that Helian You was also at the Liuhua Pavilion?"

As she spoke, she looked puzzled: "If Chuizhu hadn't followed me at that time, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to explain myself now. Tell me, is this Concubine Li trying to harm me? But why did she want to slander you like that?"

Although Chuizhu looks silly, he is actually quite skilled and is the person Huo Wuyou arranged to protect Huo Zhiyu in the palace today.

Hearing this, Xue Zhiyi only smiled: "Concubine Li wants to harm the princess. Besides, there is another person who wants to kill two birds with one stone. He wants to kill the princess and put the blame on me at the same time - Concubine Li is being used as a scapegoat."

Concubine Ge was well prepared. I don't know what means she used, but she instigated Concubine Li to get involved. She also arranged everything in advance, just in case the plan failed, there would be someone to take all the blame for her.

However, since you have done something evil, how can you remain unscathed?

At this moment, the Liuhua Pavilion must be extremely lively.

……

Pomegranate flower pavilion.

Helian You walked in alone, and the eunuch who led the way left tactfully.

He drew aside the curtain and saw a woman lying on the low couch inside, with her back to him. But for some reason, she looked much taller than Princess Anle, and did not look like an immature girl.

Confused, he walked forward and turned the woman's body over.

It was a strange but extremely stunning face, but unfortunately there was a slight flaw in it: there was a scar across her forehead.

While he was wondering, there was a sudden movement outside the door. He turned around and saw the door was kicked open.

The man who kicked the door was nearly thirty years old, with a beard but handsome appearance. At this moment, his face was filled with fear.

Ge Jingyang always felt something was wrong today, especially since Ge Yuanhui had been missing. After learning that Xue Zhiyi returned to the banquet unharmed, he became even more anxious.

Thinking of something, he hurried all the way to Liuhuaxie and knocked out the Beidi guards outside the door. Sure enough, as soon as he entered the door, he saw that the person lying on the bed was Ge Yuanhui.

"Who are you?" Helian You asked him.

Ge Jingyang didn't care about anything else, and hurried to check on Ge Yuanhui. After confirming that she was still breathing and her clothes were intact, he glared at Helian You and asked, "Why is His Highness Helian here?"

Helian You came here with dirty thoughts, and he couldn't help feeling guilty at the moment. After all, he was in the palace of the enemy country. He just pretended to be calm: "I drank some wine and wanted to find a place to rest, so I accidentally came here."

At this point, his plan to get involved with Princess Anle was bound to fail, and he just wanted to cover up the matter as quickly as possible.

But Ge Jingyang was thinking about something else.

He bowed respectfully to Helian You and said, "I am Ge Jingyang, the commander of the front department of Dayong Palace. His Majesty saw that His Majesty Helian had not returned for a long time and was worried. He ordered me to come and look for him. Since His Majesty is safe and sound, please return to your seat as soon as possible."

Then he glanced at Ge Yuanhui and said, "My sister is not feeling well and is taking a rest here. I don't want to disturb Your Highness. I will have someone send her back home from the palace."

Helian You smiled and said, "It turned out to be Miss Ge. I came here by mistake. Fortunately, you arrived in time and no trouble happened. In this case, please have someone take me back."

The moment Helian You turned around, Ge Jingyang's eyes flashed with ferocity.

In addition to killing Huo Zhiyu, there is another way to disrupt the marriage.

He drew his sword unexpectedly and stabbed Helian You in the waist and abdomen.

Blood splattered, Helian You looked back in disbelief, muttering: "You... dare!"

At this moment, Ge Jingyang had changed his expression. He sneered grimly: "If your highness's death can reignite the war between Dayong and Beidi, the whole Ge family will be grateful to your highness!"
