Quick Transmigration: The Green Tea Mistress's Guide to Seduction - A Master's Handbook
Chapter 68 The Cunning Prince's Personal Maid (29)
This night alarmed not only the Third Prince and the Seventh Prince.
The two princes who were avoiding Luo Qingran while she dressed outside the courtyard noticed Prince Shen's expression and couldn't help but want to ask the imperial physician next to them to examine him now.
"What's going on?" The emperor was followed by a group of people, including the Imperial Concubine and Prince Ling.
"Why are the third and seventh sons here too?" The Emperor strode over and saw his three sons standing in a row, bowing.
"I made an appointment with Fifth Brother this afternoon. He said he would lend me the Cloud Piercing Bow to go hunting tomorrow," the Seventh Prince explained the reason for their presence.
"What's going on here? What are they doing at the gate of this courtyard so late at night? What's wrong with Fifth Prince? He looks so pale." Only then did the Emperor notice the imperial physician standing to the side.
"I heard a commotion and it was so bright inside when I passed by. His Majesty said he would come and see what you were doing," the Consort said as she stepped forward.
"Your Highness, you'll see once you go inside." The Seventh Prince stepped aside to make way for the doorway.
The smile on the imperial concubine's face slowly faded as she looked at the expressions on their faces.
"In that case, my beloved concubine, please go in and take a look."
The Imperial Concubine forced a smile. "Then I will go in and take a look first."
The maidservant beside the imperial concubine helped her walk forward. In fact, when she saw the man kneeling beside her, she basically had a guess in her mind.
However, when they entered the courtyard and saw Luo Qingran, who was already dressed but with disheveled hair and red, swollen eyes, they were still taken aback.
"What are you doing!" The Imperial Concubine couldn't help but point at Luo Qingran, then moved towards the door.
"Are you so unable to bear loneliness?" The Imperial Concubine couldn't help but scold.
Her words made it clear to almost everyone outside what had happened.
Even when the Imperial Concubine points at and scolds her, Luo Qingran no longer reacts; she is no longer as timid and fearful as she was when facing the Imperial Concubine before.
It's over.
It's all over.
Luo Qingran stared blankly at the Imperial Concubine, then moved to the screen wall behind her, and finally her gaze changed slightly.
"Grab her!" The moment the Imperial Concubine spoke, Luo Qingran had already crashed into the screen wall behind her.
Fortunately, the Imperial Concubine spoke up in time. Even though the two maids beside Luo Qingran hadn't reacted yet, they instinctively reached out and pulled her back just as Luo Qingran moved.
Seeing that she couldn't figure it out, Luo Qingran seemed to finally come to her senses, tears streaming down her face. "Your Majesty, save me! I followed your instructions exactly!!"
Luo Qingran still doesn't know how she ended up in this place.
This was just one of her last resorts, something she would only do when she had absolutely no other choice...
But today went very smoothly.
Her gaze suddenly fell on the two maids beside her. "Where have you been? How did I get here? How did I get here? I'm asking you a question!"
Su Huan and Su Xi were too afraid to speak anymore.
"Alright, if they can talk, just take them out for questioning." The emperor outside already understood most of the situation just from the commotion inside.
After glancing at the pale-faced Prince Shen, he finally softened a little. This son of his had really had a rough couple of years. He had finally managed to marry a princess to bring good luck, but this had still happened.
He patted Prince Shen on the shoulder, "Let the imperial physician examine your body first, and your father will take care of everything for you."
Upon hearing the Emperor's words, Prince Ling clenched his fist.
Seeing that the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince had not spoken up, Prince Ling finally stepped forward first, "Since the interrogation is to be conducted here, it is not a good place. Please, Father, move to another location."
The group moved in a grand procession to Prince Shen's courtyard, followed by the man who was being escorted there and Luo Qingran.
The two were held down tightly to prevent a repeat of their earlier suicide attempt.
"You mean you got drunk, somehow ended up here, and had an affair with this person?" The Emperor sat high in the center, his gaze imposing. "Lady Luo, do you think this is child's play?"
Luo Qingran's body trembled instinctively, and she shook her head repeatedly, "No... I really don't know."
Her gaze swept over everyone present, and when she saw Prince Shen, a glimmer of hope appeared on her face. "I drank with Your Highness, and after we finished, we went back to our room together. Your Highness, Your Highness, please say something!"
"When I woke up, the room was empty. I don't know who the princess went back to the room with." Prince Shen's pale face, coupled with these words, was heartbreaking to see.
"You did this yourself, and you still want to get away with it?" The Emperor was furious. "You tell me!"
His gaze shifted to the man being held captive to one side.
Listening to the man's intermittent account of how Luo Qingran contacted him, how she sent him messages, how she promised him benefits, and even where he was waiting for her today.
He was told to leave as soon as possible if he couldn't wait any longer.
Luo Qingran fell silent the moment the man spoke, and her face grew paler and paler as he continued to speak.
Finally, the man said that Luo Qingran had come alone tonight, and hadn't said a word since entering the room, and that they were going to have sex.
Luo Qingran then loudly interrupted.
She looked up at the eyes that filled the room, frantically scanning the surroundings, but no one could vouch for her, and she herself didn't know how she had gotten there.
She was already in a daze when the guards rushed in.
Luo Qingran frantically searched for the last glimmer of hope for survival. Finally, her gaze fell on the Consort who had remained silent to the side, and she immediately cried out, "Mother, Mother, please say something for me! The Prince is not going to make it. I have used all the medicine you gave me according to your instructions. I don't even know if the Prince can make it. How could I have slept with this scoundrel? I have been framed, Mother."
Luo Qingran's words at this critical moment startled everyone, and then everyone's eyes turned to the extremely weak Prince Shen.
The fact that Prince Shen did not refute Luo Qingran's words at this moment had already convinced them of the truth of what Luo Qingran said.
After all, Luo Qingran was the rightful princess consort whom Prince Shen married, and everyone knew that Prince Shen loved and cherished his princess consort very much.
King Shen has always been portrayed as a warrior who gallops across the battlefield. Even when he was recovering from his injuries for a year and was physically weak, no one would really think that he was in poor health.
The news that has just broken is truly shocking.
"Luo, you're making up stories when you're about to die! The imperial physician already said that the Fifth Prince's health has recovered well. When did I ever arrange for you to do such a thing!" The Consort suddenly stood up, as if she was furious at being wronged.
At that moment, the testimonies obtained from interrogating Su Xi and Su Huan outside were also brought in.
The Emperor opened the book, quickly read it, and then slammed it down in front of Luo Qingran. "I'd like to see how you can still try to explain yourself!"
