A concubine? You're more like a joke. I'd rather send you to your death.

"It was my fault, I shouldn't have come to the palace. But the Empress summoned me and insulted me without explanation, even threatening to kill me. Waaah..."

Ha ha! ! !

Her acting skills are so good, she deserves an Oscar for Best Actress.

Bai Luoluo made a muffled sound, but inside she was overjoyed.

Having watched so many palace dramas, if she couldn't outwit this Consort Shu even after trying everything she learned, wouldn't she have wasted her life?

"You..." Consort Shu revealed a gentle smile, "Miss Bai, please don't slander me like this. I just happened to run into you today and wanted to have a private chat with you. Your reaction is completely baffling to me."

"His Majesty will surely deliver justice on who is right and who is wrong, and the matter of humiliating my daughter will not be easily forgotten."

Bai Luoluo's eyes were filled with fear as she spoke, and she even trembled a few times. She looked weak and helpless, which was heartbreaking.

At this moment, the Emperor arrived with Eunuch Yuan, striding in with an air of authority.

Upon seeing this, Consort Shu's face turned pale with fright, and she quickly stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects."

"What happened?"

The Emperor glanced at Bai Luoluo, who was sitting half-on the ground looking terrified, his eyes filled with anger, but he did not tell Consort Shu to get up.

"Your Majesty, save me! Consort Shu is going to kill me! I..."

As Bai Luoluo spoke, she shuddered and almost fainted.

"Someone, help Miss Bai up."

The emperor's voice was somewhat cold, and two palace maids immediately stepped forward to help Bai Luoluo up.

At this moment, the imperial physician arrived in haste.

"This old minister pays his respects to Your Majesty."

He was in his fifties, kneeling on the ground.

"Yes, go and take a look at Miss Bai, how is she?"

Seeing Bai Luoluo struggling to breathe and leaning against a palace maid, the Emperor was somewhat worried.

The imperial physician got up and came to Bai Luoluo to take her pulse.

"Commander Chen, do you know what's going on?"

"Your Majesty, Miss Bai was being chased by these palace maids and eunuchs. She kept calling for Your Majesty to save her, saying that someone wanted to kill her. When I saw her, Miss Bai was already quite frightened."

Chen Hao answered truthfully without hiding anything.

Why are you pursuing Miss Bai?

The emperor said angrily.

"Yes... it was Consort Shu's order, and we servants..."

The palace maids and eunuchs immediately knelt on the ground, trembling.

"Consort Shu, why did you send people to chase after Miss Bai?"

The Emperor frowned, his face dark as he looked at Consort Shu kneeling on the ground.

"Your Majesty, it is I who wanted to speak with Miss Bai, but she ran away as soon as she saw me. I do not know why she did so. I was afraid that she would get hurt, so I sent palace maids and eunuchs to watch over her."

Bai Luoluo squinted, looking at Consort Shu's attempt to defend herself with utter disdain.

Consort Shu, according to the book, lived out her days in peace and tranquility, and was always in the Empress's camp.

It was because the Empress noticed that she resembled Consort Yun that she personally carried her shoes, making her a substitute for the Emperor in his longing for Consort Yun.

However, this person was ruthless and vicious, on par with the Empress. Later, he became one of the accomplices who gave Liu Yulan advice on killing the original owner of the body.

It seems we've run into each other again today; we'll take them down one by one.

"Your Majesty, Consort Shu insulted me, saying I was of low birth and had no manners. She even threatened to beat me to death. I dare not come to the palace again. Everyone here is fierce and menacing. I am terrified. I beg Your Majesty to send my father to take me back."

Bai Luoluo's eyes were slightly red as she spoke; she had pinched herself and it hurt.

Upon hearing this and seeing her like this, the Emperor felt extremely sorry for her and was trembling violently. He knew that Consort Shu must have come to cause trouble for Bai Luoluo because of the Fifth Princess.

"Your Majesty, what has happened?"

The Empress rushed over upon hearing the news, not understanding what Consort Shu was up to.

"Consort Shu, do you know your crime?"

The Emperor's voice was cold and icy, which made Consort Shu tremble.

"Your Majesty, I am truly innocent."

Consort Shu's eyes were filled with tears.

"The matter of the Fifth Princess is a matter of public outrage, and it really has nothing to do with me. Your Highness, please don't hold a grudge against me. I will never dare to come to the palace again."

"Waaah........."

Bai Luoluo's sobbing caused the Emperor a great headache.

"You little wretch, how dare you frame me!"

Consort Shu, in her anger, blurted out something that almost made Bai Luoluo burst out laughing.

idiot!

Go ahead and curse me all you want, I'll be sent to the cold palace to reflect on my actions soon.

"Your Majesty, you must do me justice, otherwise I will never dare to enter the palace again, and I am afraid I will not be able to do anything well."

Bai Luoluo looked at the Empress with tears in her eyes, feeling very sorry for her.

Although it was a plea for the Empress to make the decision, it was actually a threat.

The Empress wasn't stupid; she could naturally tell from her eyes that she was displeased.

Damn it, how dare he threaten her at this time? Was it intentional or unintentional?

In the choice, getting rid of that bastard Gu Yanchi is naturally important, but it doesn't matter if Consort Shu is abandoned.

"Your Majesty, I have truly been wronged."

Consort Shu cried out, begging the Empress to save her.

"I know that my status is not as noble as that of Consort Shu. I hope Your Majesty will send me out of the palace. I will never come to this palace again."

Bai Luoluo coughed lightly a few times, as if she were feeling unwell, using this as a strategic retreat. She hated the palace and hoped that she would never be summoned there again.

"Bai Luoluo, who exactly instructed you to frame me?"

Consort Shu looked repulsive at this moment, and had lost all her ladylike demeanor.

The Emperor bestowed upon her the title of Consort Shu because of her dignified and virtuous character.

At this moment, a hint of disgust flashed in the Emperor's eyes. There was no trace of Consort Yun left.

"I was summoned to the palace by the Empress. How could I have been instructed by someone to frame me?"

Haha, this water is murky enough.

She was acting under someone's orders, speaking as if she were an empress.

Upon hearing this, Consort Shu looked at the Empress with a sinister gaze, wondering if the Empress intended to eliminate her.

Seeing her like this, the Empress cursed her inwardly as a fool.

"The Prince of Xiling and Miss Bai are about to get married. I just want to ask about some things related to the wedding."

The Empress spoke up to explain.

"Your Majesty the Empress is quite right, but Consort Shu grabbed me and insulted me with extremely vile words. No matter what, I am the legitimate daughter of the General Who Protects the Nation, and will be a first-rank princess in the future. How dare a mere concubine order my death? Where is justice?"

Bai Luoluo's voice was soft, but everyone could hear every word clearly.

At this moment, the imperial physician withdrew his hand and reported, "Your Majesty, Miss Bai's body is weak and her pulse is feeble. The excessive fright has caused her old injuries to relapse. She needs to rest and should not be frightened by anything else."

"It's that serious."

The Empress looked completely bewildered. Just a moment ago, he was lively and energetic; how could he have become like this in such a short time?

What exactly did Consort Shu say to frighten Bai Luoluo like this?

Bai Luoluo groaned and moaned, half-dead, but her eyes shone with a clear light.
