Ah, you traveled through time too?

"Lian Di, I know you don't want to talk to me anymore, but I really hope you can live a good life. If you need any help, please tell me." Wang Chang said earnestly.

Lian Di looked at him, with a hint of complex emotions in her eyes. She knew Wang Chang's good intentions, but she had to remain rational and calm: "Master Wang Chang, I have already said that our identities are different and it is not appropriate for us to have too much contact. Please take care of yourself."

A trace of pain flashed across Wang Chang's eyes, but he still insisted: "Lian Di, I just want you to be happy. No matter what difficulties you encounter in the palace, I will do my best to help you."

Lian Di took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down: "Thank you, sir, but please understand that I have to focus on my own life now."

Wang Chang helplessly watched Lian Di's departing back, his heart full of contradictions and pain. He knew that he could not change the status quo, so he could only silently bless Lian Di and hope that she could find her own happiness in the palace.

As time went by, Lian Di's life in the palace gradually stabilized. Although she knew that Wang Chang still cared about her, she understood that she had to break off this relationship to avoid unnecessary trouble. She focused on her duties and tried her best to maintain peace and stability in the harem.

However, Wang Chang's shadow still lingers in her heart. She knows that she once had a good impression of Wang Chang, but the current reality forces her to let go of this feeling. She can only silently wish Wang Chang well and hope that he can find his own happiness.

One night, Lian Di talked with Dong Xia in the bedroom, with a determined light in her eyes: "Dong Xia, we must continue to be vigilant and ensure the peace of the harem."

Dong Xia nodded, expressing her understanding and support: "Your Majesty, I will fully cooperate to ensure your safety."

Lian Di smiled slightly, with determination in her eyes: "No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we must persevere. Only in this way can we maintain our status and dignity."

A few days later, Lian Di met Wang Chang again at a palace banquet. This time, Wang Chang did not take the initiative to approach her, but stood aside silently, looking at Lian Di. He knew that he could no longer disturb Lian Di's life, but he still hoped that she could live a good life.

Lian Di also noticed Wang Chang's presence, but she tried to keep herself calm and focus on the affairs of the banquet. She knew that she could no longer have any entanglement with Wang Chang, which would be a relief for both parties.

The night was deep, and the struggle in the palace never stopped. Zhao Chunrong, a scheming concubine, was sitting in her bedroom, thinking about how to improve her status. She recently received an important piece of information - Lian Di had planned to elope. This news was undoubtedly a great opportunity for her to attack Lian Di and thus weaken her position in the heart of Emperor Li Yong.

A sneer flashed in Zhao Chunrong's eyes. She already had a sinister plan in her mind. She knew that if this matter was handled properly, it would not only hit Lian Di, but also improve her own status. She needed to find a suitable time to reveal this matter to the emperor.

A few days later, Zhao Chunrong noticed Li Yong and Lian Di talking at a palace banquet. She saw the right moment, deliberately walked to Li Yong, bowed, and whispered, "Your Majesty, I have something important to report to you."

Li Yong frowned slightly, motioned Lian Di to wait, then turned to Zhao Chunrong: "Zhao Chunrong, what's the matter?"

Zhao Chunrong whispered, "Your Majesty, I have recently heard some rumors about Lady Lian Di, and I feel it is necessary to report to you."

A trace of doubt flashed in Li Yong's eyes: "What rumors?"

Zhao Chunrong lowered her head and pretended to be hesitant: "I heard that before entering the palace, Empress Liandi had planned to elope. I am worried that this incident will affect the reputation of the Empress, so I came to report it to the emperor."

When Li Yong heard this, his face suddenly became serious. He was well aware of the struggles in the harem, but this matter was of great importance and had to be treated with caution. He glanced at Lian Di and couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

Lian Di felt Li Yong's gaze and her heart tightened. She knew she had to explain clearly. She took a deep breath, met Li Yong's gaze, and said frankly: "Your Majesty, I did have such an experience, but it was a long time ago. After entering the palace, I devoted myself to Your Majesty and the harem, and never had any second thoughts."

Li Yong felt a little relieved when he heard Lian Di's words, but he still felt the need to find out the truth of the matter. He turned to Zhao Chunrong and said coldly: "Zhao Chunrong, I will find out the truth of this matter myself. You can leave first."

Zhao Chunrong bowed and stepped back, smiling smugly in her heart. She knew that she had successfully planted the seeds of doubt in the emperor's heart, and now she just had to wait for the right time.

A few days later, Li Yong began to secretly investigate Lian Di's past. He sent his trusted eunuch Su Changde to verify that Lian Di had planned to elope. Su Changde was always cautious and soon brought back conclusive evidence. Li Yong looked at the evidence and felt a complex emotion in his heart.

In the evening, Li Yong came to Guangqing Palace. Lian Di saw his serious face and her heart tightened. After Li Yong sat down, he looked directly at Lian Di and said in a deep voice: "Lian Di, I have already found out your past. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Lian Di knew that the matter could no longer be concealed. She lowered her head and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, I did have such a thing before, but it was because of the pressure from my family. I did not really leave, but I was forced to have such an idea. Since entering the palace, I have always been loyal to Your Majesty and have never had any second thoughts."

Li Yong felt a complex emotion when he heard Lian Di's words. He knew that Lian Di did not conceal the truth intentionally, but the matter had a great impact after all. He was silent for a moment, and finally sighed: "Lian Di, I believe you, but if this matter gets out, it will have a great impact on your reputation. You must be more careful."

Lian Di nodded, with a determined light in her eyes: "Your Majesty, I understand. I will definitely be more cautious and not let anyone take advantage of this matter."

Li Yong smiled and gently held Lian Di's hand: "Lian Di, I know you are devoted to me. As long as you are loyal to me, I will definitely protect you."

Lian Di was touched and nodded, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will definitely live up to your trust."

After Li Yong left, Lian Di felt relieved, but she knew that this was only a temporary peace. Although Zhao Chunrong's conspiracy had not succeeded for the time being, she would not give up. Lian Di had to be more careful to maintain her position and the emperor's trust.

A few days later, Zhao Chunrong tried to approach Li Yong again, hoping to further attack Lian Di. At an event in the palace, she deliberately walked up to Li Yong and whispered, "Your Majesty, I recently heard that there seems to be more to Lian Di's affairs..."

Li Yong glanced at her coldly: "Zhao Chunrong, are you trying to sow discord? I have already found out the truth of the matter, you'd better not say anything more."

Zhao Chunrong was frightened by Li Yong's tone and didn't dare to continue. Although she was unwilling, she knew it was not appropriate to say more at this time, so she had to bow and leave.

Lian Di knew that Zhao Chunrong would not give up easily. She discussed closely with Dong Xia and decided to take action to counter Zhao Chunrong's conspiracy. They secretly collected some of Zhao Chunrong's misconduct, hoping to expose her true face at the right time.

One night, Lian Di and Dong Xia discussed in detail in the palace. Dong Xia whispered: "Madam, we have collected some evidence to expose Zhao Chunrong's conspiracy."

Lian Di nodded, with a calm light in her eyes: "Dongxia, we must be careful. We can't act rashly, otherwise we will alert the enemy."

Dongxia expressed her understanding: "My Lady, we will continue to collect evidence and wait for the most appropriate time."

A few days later, Lian Di finally got her chance. At a palace banquet, Zhao Chunrong tried to get close to Li Yong again, trying to say something unfavorable to Lian Di in front of him. Lian Di saw the opportunity and deliberately approached Li Yong, smiling and saying, "Your Majesty, I have an important matter to report to you."

Li Yong looked at Lian Di, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes: "Lian Di, what's the matter?"

Lian Di whispered, "Your Majesty, I have recently discovered something about Empress Zhao Chunrong. I hope you can take a look at it."

Li Yong frowned slightly: "What's the matter?"

Lian Di took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it to Li Yong: "Your Majesty, these are the evidences I have collected, involving some improper behavior of Madam Zhao Chunrong."

Li Yong took the letter and read it carefully, his face gradually becoming serious. After he finished reading, he looked at Zhao Chunrong coldly: "Zhao Chunrong, do you have anything to explain?"

Zhao Chunrong turned pale immediately, knowing that her conspiracy had been exposed. She said in panic, "Your Majesty, I am innocent. These evidences are all false accusations..."

Li Yong interrupted her coldly: "Zhao Chunrong, I will investigate this matter thoroughly. If you are truly innocent, I will clear your name. But if you are indeed guilty, I will never let you off easily."

Zhao Chunrong knew she had no way out and could only bow her head and confess her guilt. Li Yong ordered a thorough investigation of all of Zhao Chunrong's actions and soon discovered the conspiracy behind her. Zhao Chunrong was eventually exposed, lost the emperor's trust, was demoted to a commoner, and expelled from the harem.

After Lian Di returned to her bedroom, she looked extremely tired. She sat on the bed and rubbed her temples, trying to relax her tense nerves. Dong Xia walked in and saw Lian Di's appearance. She asked with concern: "My queen, are you okay? Do you want to drink some ginseng soup?"

Lian Di shook her head and sighed: "Dong Xia, I really don't want to see the emperor again. What happened during this period of time makes me feel very tired. I need some time to sort out my emotions."

Dongxia lowered her head and said cautiously, "My queen, has something unpleasant happened between you and the emperor?"

Lian Di did not answer directly, but nodded gently: "The emperor and I had some disputes, and things became a little complicated."

Dongxia understood and comforted her softly, "My queen, maybe it would be better to give each other some time to calm down. You should rest first, I will stay outside."

Lian Di looked at Dong Xia gratefully, lay down and closed her eyes, but her heart still couldn't calm down.

At the same time, on the other side of the palace, Xiao Dengzi and Dongxia were discussing recent events.

"Xiao Dengzi, do you think the dispute between the Emperor and Empress Liandi will affect the entire harem?" Dong Xia asked worriedly.

Xiao Dengzi frowned and whispered, "I heard that the emperor has been in a rather unstable mood recently. It may be because of the things in the harem that make him irritable. We servants can only try to be careful and not cause trouble."

Dong Xia nodded and sighed, "I hope they can reconcile as soon as possible, otherwise the atmosphere in the harem will become even more tense."

At the same time, Xiao Lizi, Su Changde and others are concerned about and tracking the whereabouts of the emperor. They know that the emperor's mood changes will directly affect the stability of the entire palace.

"Little Li, have you found out where the emperor is now?" Su Changde asked.

Little Li nodded: "The emperor is in the imperial study now. It is said that he is dealing with some urgent matters. Should we go and take a look?"

Su Changde thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Let's go and have a look. The emperor has been in a bad mood recently, so we have to pay attention to him at all times."

The two of them came to the outside of the imperial study and knocked gently on the door. Li Yong's voice came from inside: "Come in."

They pushed the door open and saw Li Yong sitting at his desk with a serious expression. Li Yong raised his head, glanced at them, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Su Changde said respectfully: "Your Majesty, we are just worried about your health and came to see if you need anything."
