Ah, you traveled through time too?
Chapter 440 Showdown
A few days later, the tension in the harem did not subside, but became even heavier. Li Yong's investigation into the imperial concubine and Zhao Chunrong gradually deepened, making them feel more and more pressured. Zhao Chunrong was filled with anger and anxiety, and she decided to confront Lian Di.
One evening, Lian Di was sorting some documents in her bedroom when she suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the door. She looked up and saw Zhao Chunrong walking in aggressively with an angry look on her face.
"Lian Di!" Zhao Chunrong said coldly, with dissatisfaction and hostility flashing in her eyes.
Lian Di was startled, but she remained calm, smiled and said, "Sister Zhao, what's the matter?"
Zhao Chunrong stepped forward, looked directly into Lian Di's eyes, and asked coldly, "Lian Di, did you say anything to the emperor behind her back?"
Lian Di was stunned for a moment, feeling uneasy. She did not respond immediately because she was still thinking about how to deal with Zhao Chunrong's sudden questioning.
Seeing that Lian Di did not respond immediately, Zhao Chunrong's face became even gloomier, and she said angrily: "What do you mean by not speaking? Are you pretending to be stupid?"
Lian Di took a deep breath and said calmly, "Sister Zhao, I don't know what you are talking about. I have never said anything bad about you in front of the emperor."
Zhao Chunrong sneered, her eyes full of mockery: "Lian Di, do you think I will believe you? The emperor's investigation of me is obviously your doing!"
Lian Di frowned slightly, feeling helpless and angry. She knew that Zhao Chunrong's accusation was groundless, but she also knew that it was not appropriate to confront her head-on at this time. She whispered, "Sister Zhao, I just hope that the harem can live in harmony, and I never thought of framing you."
Zhao Chunrong's anger did not diminish despite Lian Di's explanation. She slammed the table, pointed at Lian Di and said loudly, "Stop pretending to be a good person! Do you know how uncomfortable it is for me to be grounded because of you? I have never suffered such humiliation!"
Lian Di was shocked. She didn't expect Zhao Chunrong to be so fierce in accusing her. She knew that she had to calm Zhao Chunrong's anger as soon as possible, otherwise things might become more complicated.
"Sister Zhao, I really have never done anything to let you down. I only found out about your house arrest later." Lian Di tried her best to make her tone sound sincere and innocent.
Zhao Chunrong's eyes flashed with pain and anger. She stepped forward, stared at Lian Di, and whispered, "Lian Di, I know you are favored by the emperor, but don't think you can do whatever you want. I will definitely expose your true face and let the emperor see your true face!"
Lian Di looked into Zhao Chunrong's eyes and felt a complex emotion in her heart. She knew that Zhao Chunrong's anger was not only because she was confined, but also because she felt threatened and uneasy.
"Sister Zhao, I have never thought of becoming your enemy. We are all sisters in the harem and should support each other and jointly maintain the harmony of the harem." Lian Di said softly, trying to calm Zhao Chunrong's anger.
Zhao Chunrong smiled coldly, her eyes full of disdain: "Lian Di, keep these words of yours to deceive others. I have long seen through your true colors. I came here today to tell you that I will not let you continue to be proud!"
Lian Di felt helpless and exhausted. She knew that Zhao Chunrong's anger could no longer be calmed down. She sighed and said softly, "Sister Zhao, if you insist on doing this, I have nothing to say. But please believe me, I have never done anything to let you down."
Zhao Chunrong's face became even darker. She turned around and left Lian Di's bedroom angrily. Lian Di looked at her back and felt a chill in her heart. She knew that Zhao Chunrong's anger and hostility would not end there, and she had to be more careful to protect herself in this power struggle.
A few days later, Zhao Chunrong's anger intensified, and she began to spread all kinds of rumors about Lian Di in the harem, trying to damage Lian Di's reputation in this way. The concubines talked about it, and the atmosphere in the harem became more tense and complicated.
Lian Di knew that Zhao Chunrong's actions were all to retaliate against her, so she had to find a way to calm Zhao Chunrong's anger and protect her own reputation.
One day, Lian Di was walking in the Imperial Garden when she heard hurried footsteps. She turned around and saw Dong Xia walking towards her in a hurry with an anxious look on her face.
"Your Majesty, this is bad! Zhao Chunrong is spreading rumors about you again, and now the concubines are talking about it." Dongxia said in a low voice, her eyes full of worry.
Lian Di frowned slightly, feeling helpless: "Dong Xia, we can't just sit there and wait for death. We must find a way to expose Zhao Chunrong's conspiracy."
Dongxia nodded: "My queen, you are right. We must act as soon as possible and cannot let Zhao Chunrong continue to succeed."
Lian Di took a deep breath and had a plan in mind. She knew that she had to rely on Li Yong's power to completely resolve this crisis. So she decided to be honest with Li Yong and tell him all of Zhao Chunrong's conspiracies.
That night, Lian Di came to Li Yong's bedroom, and Li Yong was reviewing memorials. Seeing Lian Di coming in, he put down his pen and said with a smile: "Lian Di, it's so late, what's the matter?"
Lian Di sat down, took a deep breath, and told Li Yong everything that had happened recently. After hearing this, Li Yong's face became very serious, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
"How dare Zhao Chunrong be so bold? I will never let her off easily!" Li Yong said coldly, clenching his fists, obviously enraged.
Lian Di held Li Yong's hand and said gently, "Your Majesty, I believe you can find out the truth and protect the peace of the harem."
Li Yong nodded, his eyes gleaming with determination: "Lian Di, don't worry, I will definitely clear your name."
In the next few days, Li Yong began to investigate Zhao Chunrong's conspiracy and sent more people to protect Lian Di. The atmosphere in the harem was still tense, but Lian Di felt a glimmer of hope. She knew that as long as she had Li Yong's support, she could defeat Zhao Chunrong's conspiracy.
A few days later, Li Yong announced the results of his investigation to the public, proving all of Zhao Chunrong's schemes. Zhao Chunrong was confined to her house, and her power was also greatly hit. The concubines expressed their support for Lian Di, and the atmosphere in the harem gradually returned to calm.
Lian Di watched all this and felt relieved. She knew that the power struggle was far from over, but she was confident that she and Li Yong could overcome all difficulties and protect herself and her loved ones.
In the dead of night, Lian Di sat alone in her bedroom, looking at the night sky outside the window, her heart filled with mixed emotions. She knew that the struggle was far from over, but she was confident that together with Li Yong, she could overcome all difficulties and protect herself and her beloved.
