Chapter 459 Threat

She slowly walked to the soft couch beside Lifei, sat down, picked up the teacup, took a sip of the so-called Emei Snow Tea, and nodded.

"It is indeed a rare good tea, but the source of this good tea should be checked out. As far as I know, Emei Snow Buds are produced in Chicheng Peak in Emei, and they do not come from the south of the Yangtze River. Emei Snow Buds' tea has the characteristics of flat, flat, smooth, straight and sharp. Your tea leaves are obviously too large and have more broken foam. At most, it is a new tea of ​​the season, not Emei Snow Buds."

As soon as she said this, Concubine Li's face turned pale in an instant. She put down the tea cup that she had just regarded as a treasure, gritted her teeth and said angrily:

"If what you say is true, then these people who pay tribute to tea must clean up. They are so bold that even the emperor dares to cheat. It's too much."

A perfect arc appeared on the corner of Luo Lan's mouth, and then she chuckled disdainfully:

"If tea leaves are fake, it is not bad for drinking. If this person's identity is fake, it is easy for big trouble."

She said this lightly, and Concubine Li's face changed drastically after hearing this.

She looked at Luo Lan and asked with a cold face:

"What do you mean? I know that Yu'er was imprisoned in the heavenly prison, and you were angry, but you didn't have to come to me for being sarcastic. This has nothing to do with me, and it wasn't that I asked the emperor to lock him up."

Luo Lan picked up the cup of tea at hand and took a sip. The moment she put the tea cup down, she spoke calmly:

"This matter has nothing to do with Concubine Li, but this matter has something to do with Chu people. I also heard that you are also from Chu people?"

As soon as she said this, Concubine Li's hand trembled, her face turned pale in an instant. She hurriedly waved her hand to the servants beside her.

"You all retreat. Princess Yu and I have a few words to say."

Seeing this, Luo Lan also whispered to A Cai and A Hong:

"You guys should also step back. Some words should not be known to too many people."

After A Cai and A Hong nodded, they bowed and retreated together with the girl in Liyuan.

When there were only two of them here, Concubine Li looked ashen and pretended to be calm and asked:

"What did you mean just now? Saying that I am from Chu? This is really ridiculous. I have lived in Jiangnan since I was a child and was born and raised by Daning. How could I have something to do with Chu?"

Although Concubine Li pretended to be calm, Luo Lan had already found clues in her panicked eyes, otherwise she would not have let the servants here retreat when she heard that she suspected her identity.

Her pretty eyes flashed slightly a few times, and she continued with a solemn expression:

"To be honest, this time I went to the Western Regions and met several times with the queen of Chu and the princess of Chu. I learned some things from them. They also told me that you were from Chu. They also told me that you were sent by Chu to Daning.... I wrote in detail."

In the last two words, Luo Lan is very serious in pronunciation, and her eyes are also sharp at this moment.

When she looked at Concubine Li, Concubine Li did not dare to look at each other, but instead sneered and shook her head with a blank look.

"Impossible, Li Tianyang said that he never told anyone about this."

At this point, she might have realized that she had just left because she was too anxious.

She quickly settled her emotions and continued to defend herself:

"I mean, I do look similar to an old friend from Li Tianyang, and this is why I can get close to him and thus kill him. But I am not from Chu. Don't guess it, Princess Yu."

Although Concubine Li's explanation seemed to be a little far-fetched, Luo Lan still realized from her words and her expression that she must be lying.

It seems that my previous guess is correct. Concubine Li does have some kind of relationship with the people of Chu that is not suitable for others to know.

Luo Lan's mouth raised slightly, and after bent out of a perfect arc, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Concubine Li with her eyes as bright as she looked.

Concubine Li lowered her head and used an excuse to drink tea to hide the panic in her eyes.

Luo Lan suddenly laughed. After laughing, she continued to ask harshly on the words: "I'm not guessing. He had already told Princess Chu about you and Li Tianyang, and you were once lovers, right?"

When asked this, Luo Lan stared at Concubine Li with sharp eyes.

When Li Fei heard this, her hand suddenly shook, and the tea in the teacup instantly fell on her clothes. She didn't bother to wipe it, and looked up at Luo Lan viciously, threw the teacup on the table, and gritted her teeth and questioned.

"What the hell are you going to say? Since you came to Liyuan, you have been talking about something I don't understand here."

"Hahaha."

Luo Lan suddenly raised her head and smiled. Concubine Li was anxious. It seemed that she had guessed it right again.

The reason she had such speculation was because she and Li Tianyang mentioned that day that he had a son, and when she talked with Li Tianyang in close contact, their expressions made her guess the subtle relationship between them.

After laughing, Luo Lan played with the teacup on the table with one hand and said casually:

"This is why you approached Li Tianyang and killed her, because you thought that only he knew your identity, but you didn't expect that he had already told others. Now there is another one I know. If I tell the emperor about this..."

"Don't say it again."

Concubine Li waved her hand impatiently and said with gritting her teeth and hatred:

"So what if you tell the emperor? I'm doing it right and going well. There's nothing to be afraid of."

Seeing that she was still stubborn, Luo Lan slowly stood up, nodded and chuckled:

"I believe you are doing well, but if Leng Yu comes out of the prison within three days, I will not mention anything again. Otherwise, I will go to the emperor to slander you, Concubine Li, and Prince Xi, anyway, I have nothing to take into account anyway. I believe that the Ministry of Revenue can also verify the identity information you left when you entered the palace..."

When she said this, she stood up straight and seemed to bow to Concubine Li politely, "Hello, let's rest, my son will leave first."

Leaving this sentence, she shook the handkerchief in her hand, took big steps, and walked freely outside Liyuan.

At this time, Concubine Li sat in place as if she was stunned.

She suddenly felt a little scared. Even if Princess Yu did not have enough evidence to show that she was from Chu, if the emperor became suspicious and ordered the Ministry of Revenue to investigate the matter, her identity would not be hidden.

In that case, not only her will be finished, but Leng Xi will be finished.

No, she must not let such a thing happen. Although she knew that Luo Lan was threatening her, she could do nothing.

Now that the emperor just wanted to let her take the position of the queen, she must not make any mistakes. As long as she stabilizes her position, she finds an opportunity to change Leng Xi to the crown prince. When the emperor dies, Leng Xi can successfully take the throne. By that time, who dares to discuss her identity behind her back?

Thinking of this, she tightened her expression and recalled what Luo Lan had said just now.

Luo Lan walked out of Liyuan with a serious face, and Ah Hong asked in a low voice:

"Princess, is things going well?"

At this time, Luo Lan's heart was pounding the drum. When she said those words just now, she was also a little worried. If she guessed wrongly, Concubine Li would definitely seize her handle and go to the emperor to sue her for the evil case.

But now it seems that Concubine Li would not do this, which proves that she is right in guessing.
Chapter completed!
