Ah, you traveled through time too?

As the affairs of Guangqing Palace went smoothly, Lian Di's position in the palace gradually became more stable. However, the struggle for power never stopped, and some concubines felt threatened by Lian Di's rise and began to challenge her.

One day, Lian Di was handling affairs in Guangqing Palace when she suddenly heard a commotion outside. Dong Xia hurried in and said nervously, "Your Majesty, Zhao Lianghuan and Wan Guiren are here, and they seem to be dissatisfied with you."

Lian Di frowned, feeling a little uneasy, but remained calm: "Dong Xia, please ask them to come in."

Soon, Zhao Lianghuan and Concubine Wan walked into Guangqing Palace. Zhao Lianghuan had a cold smile on his face, while Concubine Wan looked unhappy. They both bowed to Lian Di briefly, and then said coldly: "Sister Lian Di, your behavior seems to be a little inappropriate recently."

Lian Di smiled slightly and said in a gentle tone: "Please take a seat, sisters. I don't know what I did wrong. Please let me know."

After Zhao Lianghuan sat down, he said coldly, "Sister Lian Di, you have been acting in the palace recently and have been somewhat disrespectful to Concubine Chun. This is a crime of great disrespect."

Concubine Wan also agreed, "Yes, Sister Lian Di, as a member of the harem, we should all respect Concubine Chun. You are being too arrogant."

Lian Di's heart tightened, but she remained calm. She smiled and explained, "My two sisters, I have always admired Concubine Chun and have never been disrespectful. If any of my actions have caused misunderstandings, please forgive me."

Zhao Lianghuan snorted coldly and continued, "Sister Lian Di, this is not a misunderstanding. There have been rumors in the palace recently that you are talking about Concubine Chun behind her back. This is a crime of great disrespect."

After hearing this, Lian Di felt angry, but she suppressed her emotions and said calmly, "Sister, the rumors in the palace are not to be believed. I have never talked about Concubine Chun behind her back. These are all fabricated."

Concubine Wan sneered and said, "Sister Lian Di, how can we believe you if you say that? Please give me an explanation."

Lian Di took a deep breath and said slowly: "My two sisters, if you think I have been disrespectful, you can tell the emperor and Concubine Chun. I am willing to accept any investigation and punishment. But please do not accuse me without solid evidence."

Zhao Lianghuan and Wan Guiren looked a little unhappy after hearing this. They had originally planned to take this opportunity to suppress Lian Di, but they didn't expect her to be so calm and composed, not giving them any leverage.

Zhao Lianghuan snorted coldly and said, "Okay, since Sister Lian Di said so, then we will believe you for now. I hope you can pay more attention to your words and actions in the future."

Concubine Wan also said, "Yes, Sister Liandi, I hope you can be careful with your words and actions and not let us hear these rumors again."

Lian Di smiled slightly and said respectfully: "Thank you for your reminder, sisters. I will be more cautious."

Seeing this, the two of them could not say anything more and had to say goodbye and leave. Lian Di watched them leave, but she felt a little uneasy in her heart. She knew that the power struggle in the palace was not over, and she had to be more cautious.

Dong Xia stepped forward and said worriedly, "Your Majesty, Zhao Lianghuan and Concubine Wan are obviously looking for trouble on purpose. What should we do?"

Lian Di sighed and said softly, "Dong Xia, the struggle in the palace has never stopped. We can only remain calm and cautious and not give them any handle."

Dong Xia nodded, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "My lady, I will always be by your side to protect your safety."

Lian Di looked at Dong Xia gratefully and said with a smile, "I feel at ease with you around."

In the following days, Lian Di became more cautious and careful in her words and deeds when handling palace affairs. She knew that only by staying alert and calm could she remain invincible in this chaotic palace.

Once, when Lian Di was handling affairs in Guangqing Palace, Dong Qing hurried in and said nervously, "Your Majesty, there are rumors outside that you and Concubine Chun are not on good terms. These rumors spread very quickly in the palace."

Lian Di frowned, feeling troubled. She knew that these rumors must have been spread deliberately by someone in order to sow discord between her and Concubine Chun. She had to deal with this matter as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

"Dongqing, go investigate the source of these rumors first and see who is spreading them." Lian Di said calmly.

Dong Qing nodded: "Yes, Madam, I will check it right away."

Lian Di watched Dong Qing leave, but she felt heavy in her heart. She knew that this challenge was not easy, but she had to stay calm and strong to cope with everything.

A few days later, Dong Qing came back with the results of her investigation, her expression solemn: "Your Majesty, I found out that these rumors came from Zhao Lianghuan and Concubine Wan."

After hearing this, Lian Di was furious, but she remained calm: "Dong Qing, you did a good job. This matter cannot be handled rashly, and must be handled carefully."

She thought for a moment and decided to go to Concubine Chun in person and tell her the truth. Only by winning Concubine Chun's trust can this crisis be resolved.

Lian Di took Dong Xia and Dong Qing to Chaolu Palace. They were in a heavy mood along the way, knowing that this meeting was crucial.

When they arrived at Chaolu Palace, Lian Di said to the maid, "Please inform Concubine Chun that Lian Di wants to see her."

The maid responded respectfully and came back after a while: "Madam Lian Di, Madam Chun invites you in."

Lian Di took a deep breath and walked into Chaolu Palace with Dong Xia and Dong Qing. She saw Concubine Chun sitting in the main seat with a calm expression, as if she had anticipated her arrival.

Lian Di stepped forward and saluted: "Your Highness, Imperial Concubine Chun, I have come to pay my respects to you."

Concubine Chun smiled slightly and said gently, "Sister Lian Di, there is no need to be polite. Please take a seat."

After Lian Di sat down, she got straight to the point and said, "My Lady Concubine Chun, there have been some rumors in the palace recently, saying that I am disrespectful to you. These are all groundless, so please be careful."

Concubine Chun smiled slightly and said calmly, "Sister Lian Di, I have heard these rumors a long time ago. I also know that you have always respected me and have never been disrespectful to me."

After hearing this, Lian Di felt relieved, but she remained cautious: "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I only hope that the truth can be found out as soon as possible and I can be cleared of all charges."

Concubine Chun nodded, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes: "Sister Lian Di, I don't want such rumors to spread in the palace. I will find out the truth and give you justice."

Lian Di said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will do my best to cooperate."

Concubine Chun smiled slightly and said gently, "Sister Lian Di, when you go back, just focus on handling palace affairs. I will deal with this matter as soon as possible."

Lian Di bowed and left, feeling relieved. She knew that with Concubine Chun's support, this crisis could be resolved quickly.

After returning to Guangqing Palace, Lian Di immediately summoned Dong Qing, Xiao Chun and Xiao Lan, conveyed Concubine Chun's order to them, and reminded them to be more careful.

"Dongqing, you are shouldering an important responsibility now and must be more cautious. Remember, our safety and honor are in your hands." Lian Di said solemnly.

Dong Qing nodded, with a determined light in her eyes: "My lady, I will do my best to protect everyone's safety."

Xiaochun and Xiaolan also expressed their support and cooperation, and Liandi felt a little relieved. She knew that with everyone's joint efforts, the safety and order of Guangqing Palace would be maintained.
