Chapter 808 A Suffering That Cannot Be Spoken Of!
Prince Consort Luo naturally dared not say anything more; after all, he was in the wrong now.
Because he's a man.
In just a short while, he realized that the other party was the young lady of the General Zhenguo's Mansion, and it was naturally impossible for him to just walk away like that.
If he were to take this woman into his household, trouble would be inevitable, but at the same time, he would have to carefully consider the benefits that would come with it.
Putting aside Li Wanhe's appearance, just considering her family background, if I could form a marriage alliance with the Li family, it might not be a bad thing.
Consider this: although Prince Ming is currently favored, Consort Luo has been placed under house arrest.
The cause was simply that she offended the Crown Princess with her words.
The relationship between Prince Ming and the Crown Prince is now very deep. Not only that, but Prince Ming's wife and the Crown Princess are also very close.
Thinking about this incident, Consort Luo couldn't help but feel more resentful towards his younger sister.
You're supposed to be a proper concubine of the prince, why don't you just do your job properly and come to the Eastern Palace to provoke the Crown Princess?
When Prince Ming arrived at the Luo family that day, he made it very clear in his words that the Crown Princess never left her home, and it was Consort Luo who went there herself, trying to cause trouble for the Crown Princess. Wasn't she just being a busybody?
Prince Consort Luo thought that Consort Luo had already fallen out of favor in Prince Ming's mansion. Now, Prince Ming and his consort's relationship was gradually being repaired, and there was also the beautiful Princess Nali.
I heard that nowadays, the King spends most of his time at the Queen's place, and only about ten days a month will he stay in Princess Nali's room.
For a concubine, this was already considered quite favored.
Consort Luo has fallen out of favor, and the Luo family had previously offended the late Crown Prince's people. Now the Emperor is in high spirits and wants to settle accounts with the Luo family. Who can stop him?
Let alone the Emperor, just considering the affection between the Crown Prince and the former Crown Prince, I'm afraid he wouldn't let the Luo family get away with it.
These days, it's already quite difficult to find a leisurely job with food, drink, and a salary.
The Prince Consort Luo's mind raced, wondering whether or not to agree to the marriage with the Li family. If they didn't, how would the Li family deal with the Luo family? If they did, would Princess Zhaoyang cause another ruckus?
"Third Sister, tell me, what exactly happened back then?"
Li Wanhua glanced at Li Wanhe, who was kneeling on the ground and crying, and shook her head slightly. At this moment, she could roughly guess what had happened.
"Grandmother, I was reading here when I suddenly felt drowsy. I don't know how I ended up lying down over there."
Li Wanhua's statement was actually the truth.
But different people will react differently to it.
The first thing the old lady noticed was the ashen face of Li Wanhe.
The old lady was a very shrewd person, so she naturally understood the cause of the matter immediately!
It's probably no coincidence that this Prince Consort Luo came to this pavilion.
The two sisters were in the same room, and the older sister suddenly became like this while the younger sister was completely unharmed. She absolutely refused to believe that Li Wanhe hadn't done anything to them.
Xu naturally wanted to protect her own daughter first, and her eyes immediately turned sharply to Li Wanhe on the ground.
Liu quickly grasped the key points in her words, and seeing the unease and timidity of the maid beside Li Wanhe, she cleverly guessed some clues.
However, when Consort Luo heard this, he thought that Li Wanhe was deliberately setting a trap for him!
Thinking that he had only just reached the second floor, a surge of heat rose in his abdomen. Then, thinking about the girl's advances, he didn't think much of it at the time. Reason seemed to be overwhelmed by his physical instincts, and in a daze, he had relations with the girl.
Looking back now, I think I was the one who was most wronged, right?
"Alright, now I understand. It's clearly you shameless girls who deliberately sent him away and then tried to scheme against me! Humph! Let me tell you, I am, after all, a member of the royal family and a consort. Have you ever considered the crime you commit by scheming like this?"
The old lady was taken aback, clearly not expecting that Consort Luo's reaction would be so quick and intense; for a moment, she was stunned.
"What do you mean by this, Prince Consort Luo? It's obvious that you took advantage of our Li family's daughter, yet you say such things. If word gets out, are you trying to force our Li family's daughter to her death?"
Liu was the most rational and calm one, and she directly cornered him there.
Li Wanhe, who was on the ground, also heard her aunt's hint and immediately reacted. She got up and was about to crash into the pillar.
With so many people in the room, she certainly couldn't be allowed to kill herself so easily.
"I don't want to live anymore! Now that my innocence is gone, I'm being slandered like this. This is clearly an attempt to kill me!"
"Fourth sister, please calm down." Li Wanhua was also stunned. How did things develop like this?
The people below tried to persuade her, and Li Wanhua took this opportunity to start crying and wailing, as if she were really wronged.
"presumptuous!"
A cold voice rang out, and Li Wanhe was immediately startled, stopping her crying instantly.
"Who is so audacious as to seek death in the Eastern Palace?"
The one speaking was Aunt Fang, who was standing next to Mu Xin Nuan.
She entered the house first, then glanced at Li Wanhe and the others, and in a flash, she made a respectful gesture, announcing that the Crown Prince and Crown Princess had arrived.
Everyone quickly stood up and bowed. Mu Xin Nuan instructed people to bring seats for the old lady and her two aunts. Because of his status, Consort Luo also sat down on the side.
Aunt Fang glanced at Li Wanhe, who had just been contemplating suicide, and sneered, "Was this young lady trying to die here? Do you know where you are? Do you want to spill blood in the Eastern Palace? Are you planning to have the entire Li family buried with you?"
These words sent a chill down Li Wanhe's spine, who was already somewhat frightened.
She was just putting on an act, but little did she expect that the Crown Prince's men would find it unbearable so soon after she started.
"This humble woman, this humble woman dares not." With a trembling voice, Li Wanhe finally calmed down. Her small face turned deathly pale, first from losing her virginity and then from being frightened.
Li Wanhe lowered her head, barely able to see the Crown Prince's pair of yellow court boots.
Her fear grew stronger with each passing moment. She knew, of course, that her affair with this Prince Consort Luo was all the Crown Prince's doing.
But could she say that? Did she dare admit that she had been tricked by the Crown Prince?
