The words she said casually made Leng Yu's face instantly darken.

He looked at Concubine Li, and said with a serious face:

"What does Concubine Li mean by this? If I colluded with the guards guarding the palace gate to cheat, then I should have colluded with Concubine Li in advance, otherwise, how would I know that you would raise your doubts about that pot in front of your father and emperor on such an occasion today? ”

"I ......"

Concubine Li was dumbfounded by Leng Yu's question, indeed, no one expected that she would be suspicious of that pot, and she brought it up in front of so many people.

Therefore, Leng Yu didn't have time to arrange these things at all, and it was useless to rely on Concubine Li's suspicion alone.

The emperor's face was a little gloomy, he looked at Liu Xi, and commanded loudly:

"Liu Xi, you personally go and call the guards on duty that day to confront you."

Liu Xi hurriedly bowed and replied:

"The old slave understands, the old slave will go."

The emperor asked Liu Xi to send someone to find the guard who was guarding the door that day, in the eyes of others, he didn't believe Leng Yu, and was afraid that he would take advantage of this time to collude with the guard.

Leng Yu felt that his father was trying to avoid suspicion, and he didn't feel anything wrong.

After Liu Xi left, the emperor ordered someone to go to Furong Palace to get the pot.

In the midst of waiting, the place became quiet for a while, and everyone held their breath and did not dare to make a sound.

Li Guifei and Li Guifei knelt in front of the emperor, but the emperor didn't let them get up, and they didn't dare to move when they knelt there.

After touching a pillar of incense, Liu Xicai hurriedly came with two guards.

When they entered the door of the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, they came to the emperor with their heads bowed, kneeling on the ground, Liu Xi took two steps forward and explained:

"Your Majesty, they are the guards guarding the door that day."

The emperor looked at these two people, frowned, pointed to the copper pot placed in front of them, and asked in a loud voice:

"Did you see this thing three days ago?"

The two guards looked at the pot carefully, and one of them said:

"Your Majesty, the slave has seen it, and that pot is a Yu ...... Princess Yu brought it into the palace. ”

When the guard said this, he trembled, not daring to look at Leng Yu and Luo Lan.

He knew that the emperor checked this pot in front of so many people, and there must be something wrong with this pot, and he was afraid that he would say something wrong and offend Prince Yu, so he spoke carefully.

The emperor looked at the other guard,

"You saw that too?"

"Back to the emperor, he checked the pocket that Princess Yu brought into the palace that day, and the slave didn't dare to check it again, but I heard him mention it afterwards, Princess Yu brought a strange-looking pot and some dishes, and I don't know what to do."

Concubine Li looked back at the two of them, raised her voice and asked:

"You guys are talking nonsense, I have sent people to the gate of the palace to ask in the past two days, why does no one know about this? Now you say that you have seen it, that you are lying, and you say, are you being coerced to dare to lie in front of the emperor? ”

One of them hurriedly hung his head and replied:

"Back to my mother's words, the day before yesterday, when my father went up the mountain to pick herbs, his leg was broken, and he was in a hurry to go back to take care of it, so he took leave with the gatekeeper."

"What about him?"

Another guard also lowered his head and replied:

"My dad was working with his dad when he saved his dad and hurt his waist, and I took a leave of absence."

Such a coincidence?

Concubine Li looked at the two of them with suspicious eyes, "How could it be so coincidental?" Don't lie in front of the emperor, otherwise, you will be guilty of deceiving the king. ”

When the two guards heard this, they hurriedly prostrated their heads.

"The minions don't dare, the minions are true, if the emperor doesn't believe it, you can send someone to the minions' house to check it, and you will know if it's true or not. ”

Liu Xi also said in a loud voice:

"Your Majesty, the old slave can testify about this, when I just went to find them, the gatekeeper said that there was an accident in their family and they took leave, and they just came to work today, and there will be no fake in this matter."

This......

Luo Lan saw that Concubine Li still looked unrelenting, she laughed mockingly,

"Concubine Li has a lot of doubts about this pot, but it makes me very puzzled, this is just an ordinary copper pot, without any mechanism, nor any sharp weapons, it will neither hurt nor harm people, but it can make people eat a few more mouthfuls of delicious food, but you say that there are people in the palace who are talking behind their backs, and some people are suspicious of this pot? I think that the people who are suspicious are not suspicious of this pot, but they are not used to seeing the emperor stay in Furong Palace! By the way, may I ask Concubine Li, which blind person in the palace dares to talk about this matter behind her back? The person who owes such a mouth should tear her mouth apart. ”

Hearing that Luo Lan was upset about herself, Li Guifei suddenly raised the handkerchief in her hand, hid her face and cried, and said aggrievedly:

"Your Majesty, the concubine couldn't eat a few days ago, Princess Yu saw that the concubine was pitiful, sent this pot, and taught the concubine to make delicious food, Princess Yu was kind-hearted, thinking about making the concubine appetizing, the emperor You also came by smelling the smell yourself, not the concubine licking her face to invite, today I heard Sister Li say this, the concubine will not dare to stay in the emperor in the Furong Palace for the night, this pot ...... ”

Speaking of this, she looked at Luo Lan with teary eyes, pursed her lips and continued:

"Please take this pot back and destroy it by yourself! Your kindness, I can only accept it in my heart, I dare not use this pot again, for fear that others will be suspicious again......"

"Don't ......"

As soon as Concubine Li finished speaking, before Luo Lan could answer, the emperor couldn't wait to raise his hand to stop him:

"Since it is Princess Yu's kindness, why should Concubine Ai refuse, not to mention, I also prefer this bite, keep it, and go back to make it for me to eat."

Hearing the emperor's words, Concubine Li's face turned blue and white at this time, she obviously stole chickens and ate a handful of rice.

Li Guifei stopped crying, her eyes were full of joy and nodded again and again,

"Then according to the emperor's wishes, leave this pot, and go back to the concubine to learn a few dishes from Princess Yu......"

Luo Lan had a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and the emperor nodded to her appreciatively,

"Princess Yu is indeed very smart enough to come up with such a dish, but this time, I don't want to praise you, you made a big mistake, do you know?"

The emperor's words made Luo Lan and Leng Yu's expressions become nervous, Liu Xi also looked at the emperor with puzzled eyes, and Li Guifei directly pleaded:

"The Emperor's ......"

The emperor waved his hand to stop her from continuing, but smiled and squinted, and continued:

"I don't have much appetite lately, why does Princess Yu only think about Concubine Li and not about me?"

Seeing that the emperor was picking on this reason, Luo Lan was busy bowing and saluting,

"Erchen knows that he is wrong, next time there is anything delicious, he must give his father a taste first."

Leng Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and Liu Xi also grinned.

Judging from the emperor's attitude towards this matter today, the emperor is very interested in the dish that Princess Yu came up with, and the most important thing is that in the past few days, the emperor has not mentioned that he wants to drink the soup made by Concubine Li, which makes Liu Xi quite happy.

Concubine Li's face had turned blue and black at this time, and the emperor looked at her and waved his hand impatiently,

"Concubine Li has this idle effort, let's take care of serious things! Don't delay everyone's time in such trivial matters in the future. ”

The meaning of the emperor's words was obvious, and what Concubine Li had just done made him very dissatisfied.

Liu Xi raised his head and shouted happily:

"The emperor will drive the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers and scenery!"

As soon as his words fell, the emperor stood up from the dragon chair, with one hand behind his back, he took a big stride, walked through the middle of the crowd, and walked directly to the outside of the Qianqing Palace.
