Ah, you traveled through time too?

A few days later, one morning, Lian Di was combing the fur of the white fox Xue Er in her bedroom. She couldn't get over what Li Concubine said that day, and was full of doubts. The white fox Xue Er had always been very docile, and it was impossible for her to bite someone for no reason. She decided to ask Li Concubine for clarification.

So, Lian Di ordered someone to summon Li Bin. After receiving the news, although Li Bin felt a little uneasy, she still pretended to be calm and went to Guangqing Palace. She knew that Lian Di must have some suspicions, but she had to respond carefully and not reveal any flaws.

As soon as Lipin entered the room, she saw the white fox Xue'er in Liandi's arms. She pretended to be calm and saluted Liandi: "Sister Liandi, what's the matter that you are so anxious to summon me?"

Lian Di looked at Lipin and said calmly, "Sister Lipin, I have something to ask you. That day you said Xue'er bit your maid Ping'er, I really can't believe it. Xue'er has always been docile and well-behaved, she would never hurt anyone for no reason. Sister, can you tell me in detail what happened that day?"

Lipin's face changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure and forced a smile, "Sister Liandi, I don't really know what happened that day, I only know that Ping'er was indeed bitten by your white fox."

Lian Di looked at Li Bin sharply, and said firmly: "Sister, you really don't know? Xue Er never bites people for no reason. Did someone do something to it?"

Lipin's face stiffened for a moment, and she felt uneasy in her heart, but she still tried to hide it: "Sister Liandi, I really don't know the details. Maybe Ping'er did something that day to scare the white fox."

Lian Di looked at Lipin coldly, obviously not satisfied with her words: "Sister Lipin, things are not that simple. I hope you can tell me honestly."

Lipin felt a chill, knowing that Lian Di had become suspicious, and panicked. She whispered, "Sister Lian Di, I... I really don't know the details."

Lian Di's eyes became sharper and her tone was stern: "Sister Lipin, if you are unwilling to tell the truth, I will go to the emperor and ask him to investigate it himself."

When Lipin heard this, her face turned even paler, knowing that she could no longer hide it. She took a deep breath and whispered, "Sister Liandi, I'm telling the truth, but I hope you can forgive me."

Lian Di looked at her calmly, waiting for her explanation. Li Bin felt complicated and began to recall what happened that day.

That day, Lipin was in a bad mood. After seeing the white fox Xue'er in the palace, a vicious idea suddenly came to her mind. She ordered her maids Ping'er and Jingyin to catch the white fox Xue'er. Although Ping'er was reluctant, she did not dare to disobey Lipin's order and had to act with Jingyin.

When Ping'er and Jingyin approached the white fox Xue'er, Xue'er seemed a little nervous and kept backing away. Ping'er tried to lure it with food, but Xue'er didn't buy it. So Ping'er decided to catch it directly.

Just as Ping'er reached out to grab Xue'er, the white fox suddenly went crazy, struggled and bit Ping'er's hand. Ping'er screamed in pain and let go, but Lipin did not stop. Instead, she became even more angry and ordered Jingyin and Ping'er to continue to catch the white fox.

The men finally caught Xue'er, and Ping'er, out of pain and anger, beat Xue'er hard, trying to teach her a lesson. Xue'er struggled desperately and cried out in pain, but the men did not stop until Ping'er finally fell to the ground due to excessive blood loss.

Recalling all this, Lipin was filled with regret and fear, but she knew she had no way out. She whispered, "Sister Liandi, it was indeed my fault that day. I shouldn't have ordered Ping'er to catch the white fox, nor should I have let them do anything to it. I was just in a bad mood and acted impulsively, so I did such a thing."

After hearing this, Lian Di was filled with anger and sadness. She didn't expect Lipin to be so cruel as to attack the innocent white fox Xue'er. She said coldly: "Sister Lipin, do you know how cruel your behavior is? Xue'er is just an innocent animal, how could you treat it like this?"

Lipin lowered her head, tears flashing in her eyes: "Sister Liandi, I really regret it. If I can, I am willing to make up for everything."

Lian Di shook her head and said coldly: "Sister Lipin, some things cannot be made up for. I cannot forgive you for treating Xue'er like this."

After hearing this, Lipin turned even paler, knowing that she had lost Lian Di's trust. She took a deep breath and whispered, "Sister Lian Di, I will confess everything to the emperor and accept the punishment I deserve."

Lian Di looked at Lipin, her heart filled with mixed emotions. She knew that although Lipin was wrong, she was also a pawn used by the Imperial Concubine. She said softly: "Sister Lipin, it's a good thing that you are willing to confess everything to the Emperor. But you also have to understand that the Imperial Concubine will not let you go easily."

Lipin nodded, a look of determination flashed in her eyes: "Sister Liandi, I don't care anymore. I am willing to accept all the consequences, and I only hope to get your forgiveness."

Lian Di was silent for a while, and finally said: "Sister Lipin, I hope you can sincerely repent. If you are willing to cooperate with me to expose the imperial concubine's conspiracy, I may consider forgiving you."

After hearing this, Lipin's eyes flashed with hope, and she nodded and said, "Sister Liandi, I am willing to cooperate with you to expose the imperial concubine's conspiracy."

Lian Di nodded and said softly, "Okay, then let's work together to expose the true face of the imperial concubine."

In the next few days, Lian Di and Li Bin began to work closely together to collect evidence of the imperial concubine's crimes. Li Bin told Lian Di everything she knew, including the details of how the imperial concubine used her and plotted to frame Lian Di.

Lian Di collected all the information and presented it to Li Yong. After seeing the evidence, Li Yong's face became very serious, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. He decided to thoroughly expose the imperial concubine's crimes and clear Lian Di's name.

A few days later, Li Yong summoned the concubines in the harem and announced the imperial concubine's crime. The imperial concubine was deprived of all power and confined to the cold palace. Although Lipin was wrong, she was forgiven for her initiative to confess and cooperate with Lian Di to expose the imperial concubine's conspiracy, but was demoted to a concubine.

The atmosphere in the harem gradually returned to calm, but Lian Di knew that the struggle was far from over, and she had to remain vigilant at all times to protect herself and her beloved in this palace full of conspiracies and power struggles.

In the dead of night, Lian Di sat alone in her bedroom, looking at the white fox Xue'er in her arms, her heart filled with mixed emotions. She knew that the struggle would continue, but she was confident that she could overcome all difficulties together with Li Yong to protect herself and her beloved.
