Chapter 400 Public Outrage
A scream of "Ah?"
Li Liangdi's face instantly became red and swollen. She covered her face with her hands and cried out in grievance.
"Why did you hit me? Just because I told the truth? Just because I didn't want to see the prince continue to be stubborn? Just because I didn't want to die miserably and complain to the emperor?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Liangyuan was so angry that she trembled all over, and the hand that was pointing at her trembled non-stop.
"You? You? Are you complaining? You want to destroy the prince! How can you be so vicious? I still recognize you as my sister.
You want to frame me? Stop dreaming. Do you think the emperor will believe it?
We all know the character of our Crown Prince! "
After Lu Liangyuan finished speaking in an angry voice, all the strength in her body seemed to be drained away. She staggered and almost fell.
Fortunately, the senior palace maid who had been stunned beside her reacted in time and supported her.
*
After being slapped twice, Li Liangdi roared like a mad dog.
"How could I have said anything nonsense? The evidence has been found and the facts are the facts.
Can you please use your brains? Everyone knows that Yiqiu Courtyard is well guarded. How could I have the ability to frame someone?"
Qian Shiqi, who was still confused, suddenly had an idea and asked loudly,
"Then how do you know there is a dragon robe in the tree hole?"
"God gave me a dream!"
"What nonsense! You are absolutely crazy!"
Concubine Qian felt that she had been fooled, and her anger was burning fiercely.
She yelled "Ah!" and rushed over like crazy.
"I'm going to fight you! Why do you want to drag us down with you if you want to die?"
She burst into tears, pulled off Li Liangdi's hood, grabbed her hair hard and slapped her all over the face.
"Qian? Concubine Qian, how dare you, how dare you?" Li Liangdi, who was in pain from having her head pulled, screamed loudly.
He was fumbling to block Qian Min'er's slaps and kicks.
Li Liangdi, who was used to a life of luxury, was too weak and was pinned to the ground by Qian, the concubine whose strength had suddenly increased. She didn't even have the strength to resist.
*
When the palace servants around saw the chaotic scene, they started to make a fuss.
"Hey, Li Liangdi? Stop fighting."
"Hey, concubine Qian? Please stop it! He's about to be beaten to death!"
Seeing the masters were fighting like crazy.
The senior palace maids around them wanted to step forward but couldn't pull them open no matter how hard they tried, and they didn't dare to use force.
Not knowing what to do, he could only shout at the top of his voice and try to stop the fight like a shaman beside his master.
"Hey, Concubine Qian, please let go! My Concubine Liangdi's hair is about to be plucked."
That exclamation,
"Ouch, ouch, someone come quickly! Lu Liangyuan has fainted from Li Liangdi's anger!
Master, please wake up, don't scare me! Can you say something? Woo woo woo..."
*
The chaos at the scene made Nanny Jiang, Xiaodouzi, Muman, Haitang, and the two wet nurses purse their lips tightly with a solemn expression.
My heart aches.
I can't understand why God is so unfair to the prince, and why he gets fatal blows one after another?!
With tears in their eyes, they worried about the safety of the Crown Prince, Concubine Fang, and their two children. They were so anxious that they were like ants on a hot pot, but they had already forgotten their own situation.
Have you forgotten that if the nest is overturned, how can the eggs remain intact?!
Everyone looked towards the door of the main house, praying that Concubine Fang would not come out and scare the children.
Qin Huai watched coldly as Li Liang Di framed the prince. He saw her sitting on the ground leaning on the head maid as if she had lost her strength.
Looking at Concubine Qian and Lu Liangyuan, who were in a state of disarray after the commotion, he felt a little sad.
But his face was calm.
He remembered what the prince had told him, that no matter what happened in the Eastern Palace, as long as Fang Qingge and her three daughters were not harmed, he should ignore everything and let things develop naturally.
*
After a while of quarreling, Qian's maid saw that her master was finally tired of beating her, so she stepped forward and dragged the person away.
The concubine Qian, who was dragged away, suddenly came to her senses and burst into tears.
"Your Highness, what should we do if something happens to you?"
Her maidservant was crying loudly.
"Concubine Qian, something happened in the Eastern Palace. Can we still survive? Wuwuwu..."
At this time,
Guard Captain Li coughed twice, as if he had seen enough of the show, and shouted,
"Quiet."
As soon as the voice came out, the scene suddenly became eerie and silent.
He glanced at all the people in the East Palace who were driven into Yiqiu Courtyard by the guards, and gave a loud order.
"Everyone in the East Palace, listen up! Stay where you are right now and don't move. I will report everything to the Emperor before we deal with it.
And you two go guard the door of the main house and don't let Concubine Fang and the others escape.
The ten of you should guard the East Palace tightly."
"Yes, Captain of the Guards."
The dozen or so guards who came forward obeyed the order in unison.
As soon as the words fell, the "wooooooo" crying sound started again.
The ones who cried the loudest were Concubine Qian, Di Li Liangdi and the servants in their respective courtyards.
*
Just at this time,
A scolding sound came from far away.
"Who is making so much noise?"
The chief guard was about to go back with a guard holding the dragon robe to report when he saw the visitor. He and the other guards hurriedly bowed and saluted.
"Your subordinate greets King Rui."
Prince Rui and Eunuch Dong strode over, and he quickly glanced at the messy scene.
Fang Qingge and the children were nowhere to be found in the dark crowd.
When he saw the guards standing guard at the main house door, he understood and the surprise on his face was fleeting.
He asked expressionlessly.
"Has the captain of the guard discovered anything?"
"Your Highness, we did find a dragon robe. Please take a look."
"Oh, there really is one? Where did you find it?"
King Rui pretended to know nothing.
*
"Reporting to Prince Rui, I found it in the tree hole in Yiqiu Courtyard."
The captain of the guards pointed to the tree hole in the corner and said.
"What did you say?"
Everyone saw a surprised expression on King Rui's face. He really couldn't believe it and asked again,
"Captain of the Guards, are you sure you found it in this courtyard?"
When the chief guard heard King Rui's disbelieving question, he nodded firmly and said,
"Your Highness, all of our subordinates are witnesses."
King Rui knew he had spoken out of turn, and quickly pretended to be disappointed and said,
"This? How could the Crown Prince be so confused? How has Father ever treated him unfairly?"
Prince Rui's voice was trembling, and he was full of confusion and regret about the prince's behavior.
He glanced at the crowd and saw that they were all bowing their heads and trembling.
After a while,
King Rui suddenly said with a serious expression,
"Captain Li, this matter has not been thoroughly investigated, and the emperor has not yet reached a conclusion. You are making a lot of noise in this courtyard and using your power to pressure others. Isn't that inappropriate?
After all, my two nephews are still young, so they should not be frightened."
