Chapter 507

When the incense burning time was about to pass, Li Derong was sweating and took Su ronghua into the waterside pavilion.

"Concubines and concubines see the emperor and the imperial concubine and empress." Su ronghua's hair was a little messy. She came slowly. She took a look at Wen Xiao with exquisite face and Nie Hong with sudden coldness. She bit her lips and said hello to them. "Concubines and concubines don't know your majesty and empress are coming to the lake. If you lose etiquette, please punish your majesty."

When Wen Xiaogang wanted her to be free and flat, he heard Nie Hong suddenly say, "it's not a big deal. There's no need to punish. Just stay away from the lake in the future."

Wen Xiao almost choked himself with a mouthful of watermelon. Mu Lu looked at Nie Hong suspiciously.

Nie Hong patted the back of Wen Xiao's hand like appeasement. His face didn't change. It seemed that he didn't see Su Lan's face turn pale in an instant.

Su LAN walked on the lake for two hours against the sun. Now her image is not very good. Now her face is pale, and she looks a little embarrassed.

She hesitated for a moment, took a step forward, knelt down and said in a dumb voice, "concubine didn't deliberately disturb the emperor's interest. Concubine just wanted to pick some lotus seeds to make soup for the Empress Dowager..."

"Oh?" Nie Hong picked his eyebrows, and his face eased. It seemed that he believed Su Lan's statement.

Su Lan thought for a moment, took the small basket in Bai Ru's hand, pushed it forward, and whispered, "my concubine only picked these. If your majesty wants to use them, my concubine will cook the soup and then personally send them to Chengqian palace..."

With that, she looked up slightly and looked at Nie Hong shyly.

Nie Hong didn't think it was very good-looking. Instead, he looked directly at himself, which made the powerful emperor faint and afraid.

"What a cymbidium like Su ronghua."

Wen Xiao looked at Nie Hong faintly and touched the cat's back. "Does Su ronghua know that bullying the king is a great crime to kill the nine families?"

Su Lan was stunned and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said she didn't dare.

"There is no concubine. Why does your concubine say that?" tears burst into Su Lan's eyes.

"Stop, don't cry yet," Wen Xiao sneered and said lazily, "you said you picked all the lotus seeds?"

Su Lan was stunned and nodded subconsciously.

"But your clothes are so clean that they don't look like you've just picked lotus seeds," Wen Xiao looked at her coldly. "Even if you're careful, your long sleeves will be stained with some water stains. How can you be so clean?"

Su Lan's reaction was also quick. She immediately explained, "this lotus seed was picked by the concubine's close maid, and the concubine didn't do it herself..."

"That's even more interesting," Wen Xiao looked at Su LAN jokingly. "You don't pick lotus. Do you support the boat yourself?"

Su LAN choked and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Concubine, concubine doesn't have it. Bai Ru, concubine's maidservant, pulled a boat close to Lianpeng and picked it again..."

"Oh?" the smile on Wen Xiao's face became more and more clear. "Then you say, the palace now sends someone to go around the lake. Can you find the trace of your lotus picking?"

Su LAN finally couldn't bear it. Sweating like rain, she knelt on the ground and said nothing.

Nie Hong snorted coldly, and his tone was a little impatient.

"He said he would collect lotus seeds for the empress dowager, but he actually fooled me and the Empress Dowager with lotus seeds that he didn't know where to come from. He was unfaithful and immoral. He thought he was the first offender and was demoted to the position of being a fifth grade concubine."

Before Su Lan thought of a way to defend, Nie Hong's voice rang.
