Ah, you traveled through time too?

A few days later, one evening, Lian Di was sitting alone in her bedroom, holding her beloved white fox Xue Er in her arms. She was still full of doubts about Li Bin's sudden visit. Li Bin's behavior and her words that day made her feel uneasy, as if there was some kind of conspiracy hidden in it.

The white fox Xue'er lay obediently in Lian Di's arms, her fur soft and smooth. Lian Di gently stroked Xue'er's head, but her heart was restless. She whispered to herself, "Xue'er, what did Lipin mean by that day? Did she really want to help me, or did she have other intentions?"

At this moment, the palace maid came to report: "Empress Liandi, Empress Lipin is here to visit again."

Lian Di was startled, thinking that Lipin's visit must be for something important. She signaled the maid to invite Lipin in, and she sat on a chair holding Xue'er, waiting for Lipin's arrival.

Soon, Lipin walked into Guangqing Palace under the guidance of the palace maid. As soon as she entered the door, she saw the white fox Xue'er in Liandi's arms, her face suddenly turned pale, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes.

Seeing this, Lian Di smiled slightly: "Sister Lipin, you come to see me again, what's the matter?"

Lipin forced herself to remain calm, bowed to Lian Di and said, "Sister Lian Di, I came here today because I have something to tell you."

Lian Di nodded and motioned for Li Bin to sit down: "Sister, please sit down. If you have anything to say, please feel free to tell me."

After Lipin sat down, she still glanced at the white fox in Liandi's arms from time to time, looking very uneasy. Liandi noticed this and became even more confused: "Sister Lipin, you seem to be afraid of my white fox Xue'er?"

Lipin forced a smile and nodded: "Sister Liandi, you are right, I am indeed afraid of your white fox."

Lian Di gently stroked Xue'er and said softly, "Xue'er is very well behaved and won't hurt anyone. Why would you be afraid of it, sister?"

After hearing this, Lipin turned even paler and whispered, "Sister Liandi, you don't know that this white fox killed my maid Ping'er."

Lian Di was shocked when she heard this and asked hurriedly, "Sister Lipin, what do you mean? How could Xue'er kill your maid?"

A trace of pain flashed across Lipin's eyes, and she whispered, "A few months ago, my maid Ping'er met this white fox in the palace. She liked it very much at the time, so she tried to get close to it. Unexpectedly, the white fox suddenly went crazy and bit Ping'er, causing her to die from her injuries."

After hearing this, Lian Di was shocked and confused. She had never seen Xue Er go crazy at anyone, let alone bite anyone. She whispered, "Sister Lipin, Xue Er has always been docile and well-behaved, and she would never bite anyone casually. What happened that day?"

A trace of complex emotions flashed across Lipin's eyes, and she whispered, "Sister Liandi, I know you like this white fox very much, but this is the fact. Ping'er's death has filled me with fear of this white fox. Every time I see it, I will think of the scene that day."

Lian Di was filled with doubts and uneasiness. She knew that Lipin's words were a little unbelievable, but she also understood that her fear was real. She said softly, "Sister Lipin, I'm sorry to hear such news. But I believe Xue'er wouldn't go crazy for no reason. Is there any other reason?"

Lipin lowered her head and remained silent for a while, as if she was thinking about something. After a while, she whispered, "Sister Liandi, I don't know the specific reason. Maybe it was because Ping'er's behavior that day scared the white fox, causing it to go crazy."

After hearing this, Lian Di was even more confused, but she didn't want to ask any more questions. She gently stroked Xue'er and said softly, "Sister Lipin, Xue'er is my beloved and has never hurt anyone. I hope you can understand that maybe there was some accident that day."

Lipin nodded, with a forced smile on her face: "Sister Liandi, I understand how you feel. But I hope you can be more careful and don't let this happen again."

Lian Di smiled slightly: "Thank you for your reminder, sister. I will pay attention to it."

Seeing this, Lipin felt a little relieved. She knew that she needed to be careful and not let Lian Di have more doubts about her. She stood up and said goodbye to Lian Di: "Sister Lian Di, it's getting late, I won't bother you anymore."

Lian Di smiled and sent Lipin away, but she was full of doubts and uneasiness about this conversation. She knew that Lipin's sudden visit and her explanation must have a deeper meaning, and she must be more vigilant.

After Lipin left Guangqing Palace, she returned to her own bedroom. Jingyin saw that she looked pale and asked with concern, "Madam, are you okay?"

Lipin shook her head and whispered, "Jingyin, I'm fine. But we must be more careful this time and not let Lian Di doubt us."

Jingyin nodded: "My queen, don't worry, I will continue to keep a close eye on Lian Di's movements to ensure that our plan goes smoothly."

Lipin nodded with satisfaction: "Jingyin, you have always been my right-hand man, I believe you can complete the task."

Jingyin said firmly: "My lady, don't worry, I will do my best."

In the next few days, Lipin and Jingyin continued to closely monitor Lian Di's every move, trying to find more opportunities. Lian Di secretly strengthened her vigilance to prevent Lipin and Guifei's conspiracy from succeeding.

One night, Lian Di was sorting documents in her bedroom when she heard hurried footsteps outside the door. She looked up and saw Dong Xia approaching in a hurry with an anxious look on her face.

"Your Majesty, this is bad! Zhao Chunrong and Lipin are spreading rumors about you outside, 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: "What tricks are they playing? We must find evidence as soon as possible to prove our innocence."

Dong Xia nodded: "My Lady, we have already started the investigation and I believe there will be results soon."

Lian Di took a deep breath and said calmly: "Dongxia, we can't just sit there and wait for death. We must take the initiative. Go check Lipin's recent movements. She must have taken some action."

Dongxia nodded and left, and began to secretly investigate Lipin's movements. After several days of hard work, she finally found some clues that proved that Lipin and the imperial concubine were indeed plotting a conspiracy in secret.

That night, Dongxia brought these clues back to Lian Di: "Your Majesty, we have found out that Lipin and Guifei are indeed secretly plotting and trying to frame you."

Lian Di looked at these clues and gradually understood: "So, Lipin and Guifei were indeed behind everything."

Dong Xia said worriedly: "Your Majesty, we must report to the emperor as soon as possible and let him know the truth."

Lian Di nodded in agreement: "Yes, we must be careful and not let them find more loopholes."

That night, Lian Di presented the results of the investigation to Li Yong and explained in detail what happened. After reading it, Li Yong's face became very serious, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

"How dare the Imperial Concubine and Lipin be so bold? I will never let them 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: "I will, Lian Di. Don't worry, I will definitely clear your name."
