They are all concubines, so of course they choose the future emperor.

There were no outsiders in the hall. Luo Yudian raised his head with a calm and confident smile on his face.

"With the Emperor here, Ze'er will be fine. But you, the Empress, don't seem to be well!"

Her tone seemed concerned, but the excitement in her eyes betrayed her true feelings.

Jiang Wanyue understood.

Sure enough, Luo Yudian also took action on her side.

At this moment, she had some guesses about what Luo Yudian was going to do.

Luo Yudian took action against both herself and the prince, and then she ran to Li Ce, probably trying to find an excuse to lure Li Ce over and make him misunderstand and suspect her.

Fortunately, Jiang Wanyue took proper precautions and did not let Qiongzhi get close to her, so she was not hit.

As for the prince...

Jiang Wanyue was a little disappointed.

After what happened last time, he still hadn't learned his lesson and was tricked again.

She quickly collected her thoughts and noticed the flash of pride in Luo Yudian's eyes.

It seems that we have to use the second plan.

Jiang Wanyue's eyes flickered slightly, she glanced out the window, and quickly regained her composure.

The corners of her mouth curled up slowly, deliberately, and then she laughed, with contempt and mockery.

"You don't think I didn't notice what you did, do you?"

Jiang Wanyue lowered her voice.

Luo Yudian's expression froze for a moment, then returned to normal.

"What are you saying, Queen? I don't understand."

"Now that there are only you and me here, do you still want to pretend?" Jiang Wanyue sneered, "You deliberately had someone drug Li Chengze to make him look like he was allergic and unconscious. Do you really think that you did it so well that no one would find out? Concubine Shu, you underestimate me too much."

Luo Yudian's pupils contracted violently, and his fingers couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"You and I……"

She wanted to refute, but was interrupted by Jiang Wanyue before she opened her mouth.

"What? You still want to deny it? It's useless. The eunuchs around Li Chengze confessed everything after being beaten with dozens of sticks. I underestimated you. I didn't expect you to attack your own son."

Jiang Wanyue clicked her tongue twice and casually fiddled with the sachet hanging around her waist; the sneer on her face became more obvious.

Luo Yudian's heart was pounding and beads of sweat broke out on his forehead.

She didn't expect her plan to be exposed so quickly.

She knew Jiang Wanyue's abilities, and was also aware that she couldn't hide this trick from her for too long. However, in her estimation, it would take at least until the next day for Jiang Wanyue to realize something was wrong.

How could it be so fast?

Luo Yudian's thoughts were a little confused.

But she still stubbornly replied: "Are you trying to frame me by saying these things, Queen? No matter what I am, I will never do anything to Ze'er."

Jiang Wanyue raised her eyebrows and the smile on her lips deepened.

"You are so sure and confident. Are you sure that nothing will happen to Li Chengze? Yes, since you dare to make such an arrangement, I think you are sure that the thing will not harm him. It's a pity that you forgot that everyone in Taiji Palace is my people."

Jiang Wanyue suddenly leaned forward, and the sachet in her hand came off at some point and fell right in front of Luo Yuding.

She lowered her voice to the lowest level so that only the two of them could hear it.

"Do you think that you can kill two birds with one stone by putting the blame on me after the crown prince is gone? Luo Yudian, you are too naive. You actually helped me in today's situation."

These words were like a needle piercing Luo Yudian's mind.

Her face changed drastically and she looked at Jiang Wanyue in horror.

How did Jiang Wanyue know my plan?

Luo Yudian screamed in her heart.

"Are you plotting against me?!"

"Haha, how can I be the one scheming you? Didn't you do this yourself? It was you who ordered Li Chengze to fall into a coma? And you were also the one who did things around the crown prince, right? What does this have to do with me? Do you think that by letting something happen to your own son, you can dispel your suspicion? You don't take the emperor seriously at all."

"You must have always thought that you had a plan that was perfect, right? You thought that you were the only smart person in the palace and everyone else was stupid? What a pity! Your plan was full of loopholes, and because of it, you even sacrificed your own son."

"If you go there now, maybe you can see your son for the last time."

Luo Yudian was shaking all over and couldn't stop.

She really wanted to calm down and test whether what Jiang Wanyue said was true or false.

But when she thought that Ze'er might have been murdered, her mind was in a mess and she couldn't calm down or think.

What if...even if it was just a single chance, she couldn't bear the consequences.

When Luo Yudian looked at the smile on Jiang Wanyue's face, the string in her head broke.

She pounced on Jiang Wanyue and grabbed her neck with both hands.

"If anything happens to Ze'er, I want your entire Jiang family to be buried with him!"

"Shu Fei, what are you doing?!"

Li Ce's shocked and angry voice suddenly sounded from behind him.

Luo Yudian was completely frozen.

The next moment, Li Ce rushed over and kicked her in the back.

He used all his strength and kicked Luo Yudin to the ground.

"Wan'er!"

Li Ce called out anxiously.

Jiang Wanyue covered her throat, her face full of pain.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Shu is crazy."

Her voice was hoarse and she couldn't help coughing after saying a word.

Li Ce breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was not seriously injured. He then turned around and looked at Luo Yudian, who was lying on the ground vomiting blood, with cold eyes.

"Somebody come!"

He shouted.

A figure suddenly walked out from a shadowy corner of the hall.

Luo Yudian froze and looked at the figure in disbelief.

Was there someone in this hall just now? !

Why did I get provoked into taking action by Jiang Wanyue's words just now?

She did it on purpose!

She knew there were secret guards in this palace, so she said those words deliberately to let the secret guards lead the emperor over!

At this moment, Luo Yudian woke up.

She ignored the pain in her back and crawled to Li Ce's feet.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent. I was framed! It was the Queen! She wanted the Fourth Prince to take the throne and wanted to get rid of the Crown Prince and Ze'er. She planned all this secretly and used me! She is also using you! She has no sincerity towards you. She only wants power!"

Luo Yudian shouted at the top of her lungs.

"Even if I am wrong, I just want Ze'er to come back to my side..."

These few words are extremely provocative.

In a way, she was half right.

However, Li Ce, who had just discovered that he had misunderstood Jiang Wanyue and was filled with guilt towards Jiang Wanyue, how could he believe it?

"How dare you slander me!"

Li Ce kicked her away and shouted to the inner guards.

"Hurry up and drag this slave away! She is guilty of murdering and framing the queen. She must be strangled immediately!"

Li Ce was obviously extremely angry. He gave the order directly without even interrogating the person.

Jiang Wanyue coughed and grabbed Li Ce's hand.

"Your Majesty, calm down. Ahem, Concubine Shu is, ahem... the biological mother of the Third Prince. Even if she made a mistake, she should not be convicted so hastily. Besides, she is the great-niece of Duke Lu. Her father has been an official in Lu for more than ten years and has made great contributions."

Jiang Wanyue spoke sincerely and pleaded for Luo Yudian with all her might.

Li Ce took several deep breaths and finally calmed down.

"Send Concubine Shu back to Shujing Palace, and let her reflect on her mistakes facing the wall. She is not allowed to step out of her room. All the palace maids in Shujing Palace will be sent to the Ye Ting for strict interrogation."

"Send a message to the Secretariat: The Duke of Lu's mansion has behaved improperly and has refused to change despite repeated admonitions. His title will be stripped and his mansion will be taken back."

"Ask the Minister of the Central Secretariat to draft an edict, saying that the Luo family is a disgrace to the world for not educating their daughter well. Let him write the details himself."
