To Be a Mighty Empress, Or Not to Be - C137

In the dead of night in the palace, the entire Phoenix Nest Palace was abnormally brightly lit.

At this time, Li Ruolan was lazily lying on the soft collapse, one hand holding onto that half of her exquisite face, while the corner of her mouth had a thirty to fifty percent smile, making her seem dark and cold.

“Let her out!” The lazy voice came out lightly, with a hint of playfulness in it.

Hearing that, the two guards untied the ropes from the gunny sack, and the woman who was unconscious inside finally revealed her head. Seeing that the girl was still unharmed, Li Ruolan frowned slightly in dissatisfaction.

She had been poisoned and vomited so much blood that she had almost failed to save the prince. However, these people who had hurt her were able to eat and drink in the prison cell safe and sound. Immediately, Li Ruolan slowly opened her mouth: “Wake him up for me!”

“Your servant obeys!” Pearl trotted out to get a pail of cold water, and without a word poured it over her.

After being stimulated by the cold water, Liu Yue woke up from her stupor and looked around in confusion.

She only knew that she fainted after eating, but why did she wake up here?

Liu Yue looked around, and her gaze finally landed on the woman lying down on the soft bed, and was immediately stunned.

“What a bold palace maid. She actually dared to stare at the Empress without bowing!” Pearl’s cold voice came out, and then she slapped Liu Yue’s face.

Liu Yue who had not reacted to what was happening covered her face with one hand and looked at her in shock. After a long while, she opened her mouth, and spoke in a voice filled with fear and anger: “What are you guys trying to do?”

“What are we not doing? Today, we asked you to come here because we wanted to ask you a question.” You just have to tell me who ordered you to do this, and I’ll spare your little life. Li Ruolan said softly.

Liu Yue was frightened, but at the same time she replied: “No one is ordering me!”

“Oh? So you have already admitted that you were the one who poisoned this palace? ” Li Ruolan looked at her with interest.

“Imperial Concubine, this servant was wrongly accused. This servant didn’t poison him!” Liu Yue was a straightforward person, if not for what she did, how would she admit to it?

Li Ruolan would not let her go so easily. She let out a cold snort, and with a light brush of her long sleeves, she stood up and slowly walked towards her: “You’re already at this point, yet you still don’t admit? “Damned duckling, you’re so stubborn …”

“Empress, her mistress is Aunt Anran …” Zhu Er did not use too much strength, and it was coincidentally loud enough for Liu Yue to hear.

After hearing that, Li Ruolan seemed to have thought of this question, and laughed: “So that’s how it is. That bitch Shi Anran, just doesn’t like me getting pampered, and is even angrier that I beat her up earlier, so you got someone to poison her, right?”

Liu Yue quickly shook her head: “It’s not like that! The young mistress didn’t poison him at all! This servant doesn’t know what’s going on. ”

“You don’t know? Well, your master always knows, doesn’t he? As long as you obediently admit that Shi Anran ordered you to poison someone, I can let you go. ” Actually, this was Li Ruolan’s real goal. She had long been unable to get used to Shi Anran’s noble and noble appearance.

It didn’t matter if Shi Anran ordered it or not, she would push the blame onto Shi Anran this time and pull her into the water.

So she was trying to force him to wrongly accuse the young mistress! A thought silently appeared in Liu Yue’s heart, and he forced himself to calm down as he said, “What this servant has never done before, this servant will definitely not admit it.

Li Ruolan slightly raised her white and tender chin, her red lips slightly parted. “What a stubborn and lowly maid. Pearl, think of a way to make her speak.”

Pearl lowered her head and smiled, “Yes!”

Jadeite’s hand that was holding the handkerchief tightened. What should she do now? This matter was getting worse and worse, I am afraid that even if Imperial Noble Consort Lan were to use this punishment, Liu Yue would not be able to live for long? Should she tell her aunt?

As for Liu Yue, who was miserably kneeling on the ground, after she saw the torture instruments the guards had brought over, her pupils gradually dilated …

At the same time, Shi Anran, who had just fallen asleep full of questions, was disturbed by the noise. She asked in displeasure: “Who are you talking about outside?”

“Aunt, it’s Jadeite …” Cui Yun replied lightly.

Jade? However, Shi Anran had already experienced too many things in her previous life. In this life, as long as it was someone who had lied to her once, she would no longer take the risk to trust. What was she doing here so late?

“Let her go. If there’s anything, we can talk about it tomorrow. I’m very tired tonight, so I don’t want to talk anymore …”

“Aunt, Aunt, this servant really has something important to say!” She was very clear about the methods of the Imperial Noble Consort Lan. If that palace maid called Liu Yue was in her hands, she must be begging for death.

Shi Anran was annoyed for a while, but after that she helplessly donned her clothes, and slowly walked out. Because of the Sunflower Dew, she did not look too good, and said indifferently: “Speak, what do you want to say?”

“Aunt, the Imperial Noble Consort Lan brought Liu Yue, who was trapped in the prison, to the Phoenix Nest Palace. Jadeite simply explained everything.

After hearing that, Shi Anran felt a loud bang in her head, and then she walked out with large steps, with Cui Yu following closely behind: “Aunt, if you go at this time, Imperial Noble Consort Lan will definitely not let you go.”

“Do I have to let them bully my people?” In his previous life, Shi Anran had already been miserably bullied by the Li sisters. In this life, he definitely would not allow them to harm anyone by her side.

“But, but …”

“You don’t have to follow me!” If Li Ruolan found out that Jade took the risk to report this news, it was unknown what she would do.

Cui Yu stood where she was and watched her leave before leaving in another direction.

Cui Yun and Yi Yue quickly followed, and Yi Yue blocked her path: “Miss, you can’t go at this time.”

“All of you get out of the way, Liu Yue is still in her hands, if I don’t go, she’ll die …”

Hearing that, the two of them went silent. Cui Yun said in a low voice: “But, we can’t watch you rush off either. What difference is there between that and courting death? “Why don’t you go beg the emperor? The emperor usually dotes on his aunt so much, so he shouldn’t sit idly by and do nothing about it.”

Cui Yun’s words had also reminded Shi Anran. She nodded her head and returned back to him, “Yi Yue, go and invite the Third Prince over, Cui Yun, look after her at the Phoenix Nest Palace. I’ll go and look for the emperor at Changchun Palace right now.” Tonight, the emperor was in Imperial Noble Consort Zhao’s palace. The Imperial Noble Consort Zhao stood by her side, she wouldn’t just stand there and watch.

“Yes …” The two of them acknowledged each other and went to do their own business.

Shi Anran quickly headed in the direction of the Changchun Palace, feeling uneasy. If something happened to Liu Yue, she would really blame herself for her entire life, and if Xiu Er died, she would already be carrying an innocent life. If something happened to Liu Yue at this time, what would she do?

When the palace maid saw him, she first bowed in respect before stopping him. “Auntie, the emperor has rested for a long time. No one is allowed to disturb him.”

“Right now, I have urgent matters to discuss with the Emperor. I’ll have to trouble you to go in and inform him.”
