Upon arriving at Guan Yue Tower, I found Mu Wan lying unconscious on the steps.
My heart skipped a beat, and I was about to call for help.
At that moment, a sharp voice pierced through the air:
"Well! consort Jiang! How dare you lay a hand on my Mu Wan!"
I turned around abruptly to see Consort Liang approaching with a group of people.
A chill ran down my spine.
It was a trap!
Consort Liang was truly ruthless!
To frame me, she was willing to sacrifice Mu Wan's life!
She intended to pin Mu Wan's death on me!
Before I could explain, I felt a slap across my face.
Consort Liang seethed with anger: " consort Jiang! How dare you harm my Mu Wan!"
"Someone! Quickly carry Mu Wan back!"
" consort Jiang! Just wait! The Emperor will not let you off!"
I looked coldly at Consort Liang. "How ridiculous."
"Just moments ago, Mu Wan was perfectly fine."
"How is it that she falls unconscious the moment you arrive?"
Consort Liang choked on her words, forcing herself to remain composed:
"It must be you who drugged Mu Wan!"
Qiu Yue couldn't help but interject: "Your Highness, I just went to find you."
I saw Consort Liang's maid sneaking around in the shadows.
It seemed she was waiting for someone.
I squinted my eyes.
No wonder there were so many maids at Guan Yue Tower earlier.
They had been hiding here all along, lying in wait.
I let out a cold laugh. "Consort Liang, you really know how to play."
Consort Liang was flustered. "Stop talking nonsense!"
"Someone! Take consort Jiang away!"
Half an hour later, we gathered in the Empress Palace.
The Empress was still unwell.
Upon hearing that Mu Wan was in trouble, she hurried over.
She leaned against a soft pillow, her face pale.
I knelt in the hall, waiting for the Emperor's decree.
The Empress asked, "Consort Liang, what is going on?"
Consort Liang immediately began to cry. "Your Majesty, it's consort Jiang!"
"She actually pushed Mu Wan down the stairs!"
"Poor Mu Wan is only five years old and frail."
"Falling from the second floor, I don't know if she will be alright..."
The Empress turned to me. " consort Jiang, what do you have to say?"
I shook my head, "This Concubine has no words to defend herself."
The Empress sighed, "What did the Emperor say?"
Eunuch Wang entered to deliver the message:
"The Emperor said that consort Jiang has harmed the princess, a crime that cannot be forgiven."
"But considering her service in raising the prince, she shall receive thirty strokes of the rod and be placed under house arrest for half a month."
The Empress nodded and turned to Consort Liang:
"What does Consort Liang think?"
Consort Liang was taken aback, "Isn't the Emperor being a bit biased?"
The Empress snorted coldly, "How dare you!"
"Do you think you can question the Emperor's decree?"
Consort Liang quickly apologized.
At that moment, Mu Yao and Jing An entered.
Mu Yao looked at me with red-rimmed eyes, "Li Li Consort, are you alright?"
I shook my head, "I'm fine."
Jing An helped me up, "Mother need not worry."
Mu Yao nodded, "Yes! The Crown Prince will help you!"
Just then, a sharp voice rang out from outside:
"The Emperor has arrived!"
The Emperor strode in.
Everyone quickly knelt to pay their respects.
The Emperor glanced at me and asked, "What is going on?"
Consort Liang quickly reported, "Your Majesty, consort Jiang is trying to harm Mu Wan!"
The Emperor was taken aback. "Harm?"
The Empress explained, "Mu Wan fell from upstairs."
The Emperor furrowed his brow. "How could this happen?"
The Empress replied, "You should ask Consort Liang about that."
Consort Liang felt a surge of panic.
She instinctively looked at the maid behind her.
The maid trembled in fear.
At that moment, Qiu Yue suddenly said, "Your Highness, Mu Wan has woken up!"
Everyone was taken aback.
The Empress hurriedly said, "Quickly send for the imperial physician to check on her."
Half a stick of incense later, the physician returned.
He reported that Mu Wan was not seriously injured.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Before long, Mu Wan woke up.
Her face was pale as she leaned against the soft pillow.
