Chapter 812 Clean it up!
"What? Do you feel wronged?"
Suddenly, Li Wanhe raised her head. She couldn't lose the Li family as a support; otherwise, she would have no place to stand in the Luo family in the future.
"Your Majesty, my cousin, it's all my fault. Please, I really didn't frame my cousin."
"I know."
Unexpectedly, Li Wanhe heard this sentence.
The old lady and Liu were also taken aback. What was going on?
"Anuan, what did you just say?" The old lady blinked and turned to look at her, clearly unsure of what she had just heard.
“Grandmother, I know Li Wanhe has been wronged. She never plotted against Cousin Wanhua. Or, to be more precise, she just had Cousin Wanhua knocked unconscious and moved away because she was in the way. Li Wanhe, am I right?”
Is it in the way?
Liu's head throbbed, as if some bigger trouble was about to be unearthed.
"Cousin, I... I really didn't mean to scheme against Third Sister. Since you know all this, why did you do it just now? Cousin, I don't think I've ever offended you, so why are you doing this?"
"Why? First of all, Li Wanhe, you've misunderstood something. I know you're innocent, but that doesn't mean I'm obligated to clear your name. Secondly, I want you to know that this matter has nothing to do with me. The person who plotted against you wasn't me."
Li Wanhe was taken aback. Of course she knew that the person who plotted against her was not the Crown Princess, but then her eyes flashed. Could she say that it was the Crown Prince who was plotting against her?
The old lady finally couldn't hold back any longer. "Anuan, explain yourself clearly. What exactly happened?"
Mu Xin Nuan chuckled softly, "In the end, we'll have to ask my dear cousin. Aunt Fang, please repeat what the imperial physician didn't say earlier."
"Yes, Your Majesty, in response to the two ladies, this incense burner contains not only sleeping pills, but also an aphrodisiac incense. This aphrodisiac incense is not very effective for women; it is mainly effective for men."
Liu was completely stunned. "What, what's going on? How come there's aphrodisiac incense here again? Could it be that Fourth Sister has also been tricked?"
The old lady, having experienced much in life, quickly sensed something amiss in those words.
"Aunt Fang, what exactly is going on?"
"Your fourth young lady is truly a remarkable person. Before entering the Eastern Palace, she had already bribed one of our palace eunuchs to accurately report the Crown Prince's whereabouts to him. And the first man to enter this pavilion was not Consort Luo, but His Highness the Crown Prince."
Liu's heart skipped a beat. It's all over!
So it turns out that this fourth daughter wasn't plotting against Li Wanhua, but against the Crown Prince?
The old lady's expression changed instantly. Was this girl far too audacious? Daring to scheme against the Crown Prince in the Eastern Palace? How many leopards had she eaten to have such a death wish?
"As soon as the Crown Prince entered the room, he sensed something was wrong. The Crown Prince had received special training before, so he was naturally familiar with aphrodisiacs and sleeping potions. Therefore, the Crown Prince only stayed for a short while before leaving. However, this Fourth Miss clearly did not want our Crown Prince to leave so easily, so she was determined to keep him occupied."
Li Wanhe's face turned deathly pale. Having such an ugly scene exposed, she truly had no face to live any longer.
"You? How dare you?"
"I'm sure the old lady and Madam Li understand what happened next. The Crown Prince was unwell, so he sent someone to hastily summon the Crown Princess. This is the real reason why the Crown Prince and Crown Princess were late."
"What about the Crown Prince?" Liu glanced at Mu Xin Nuan and then noticed that her clothes and hairstyle had changed. Could it be...?
"The Crown Prince is unharmed, but his anger is too intense, and I cannot persuade him. Besides, when I learned of this matter, Li Wanhe had already consummated her relationship with Consort Luo."
"You wicked child! You're practically courting death! How could our Li family produce such a shameless creature like you? You actually dared to seduce the Crown Prince here, and when that failed, you resorted to drugging him! Do you even know what a heinous crime you've committed?"
Aunt Fang glanced at Li Wanhe expressionlessly, "To scheme against the Crown Prince and use aphrodisiacs to seduce him is, to put it bluntly, a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of one's family."
Almost everyone in the world knows that while aphrodisiacs can enhance sexual performance, they can also cause extremely serious damage to the body.
In particular, some medications that are too potent can directly affect a man's fertility, and that's no joke!
That is why the royal family hates this type of medicine so much.
Think back to a few years ago when the current emperor dealt with a favored concubine. At that time, the concubine dared to use aphrodisiacs in the room during intercourse. Afterwards, the empress found out the truth, and the emperor was furious and immediately banished the concubine to the cold palace.
Not only that, the concubine's family was also implicated, stripped of their official titles and ranks, which can be described as a loss that outweighed the gains.
Unexpectedly, the same situation is now happening to the Li family.
No matter how wrong that concubine was back then, she was still the emperor's respectable woman, and it was made public. But what is this Li Wanhe?
As a lady from a prominent family, how could she deliberately drug the Crown Prince? And the Crown Prince's own cousin's husband? Does she have no shame at all?
Madam Li was so angry that she wished she could kick her a couple of times.
Li Wanhe was completely limp on the ground, almost unconscious.
After seeing off the Li family, Mu Xin Nuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Aunt Fang, who had witnessed her performance today, was extremely pleased. It seemed that their mistress had fully adapted to her new role as the Crown Princess.
"Miss, why didn't you just expose the truth? Instead, you made Madam Li the Second and Miss the Third think that Li Wanhe was trying to harm her?"
"Of course I can't expose her. I want the second branch of the family to completely give up on Li Wanhe. That way, she won't have anyone to rely on in the Luo family in the future. Without the second branch of the family to support her, my second aunt won't come to me with any trouble she might have in the future."
"Does Miss mean that this Fourth Miss is completely a discarded pawn?"
"I suppose so! A woman like her is really not someone to pity. It was one thing for her to covet the Crown Prince in Huguo Temple, but now she even dares to set her sights on the Eastern Palace. I think she's really tired of living."
