Chapter 432
Li Derong led Su Ronghua into the waterside pavilion, sweating profusely, when the time for a stick of incense was about to pass.

"A concubine sees the emperor, sees the imperial concubine." Su Ronghua's hair was a little messy, she walked slowly, glanced at the exquisite Wen Xiao and Nie Hong whose expression suddenly turned cold, bit her lips, and rushed to the two of them. Please An said, "My concubine didn't know that His Majesty and Empress are coming to the lake, and she broke the etiquette, so please His Majesty punish her."

Just when Wen Xiao was about to let her go without any courtesy, she heard Nie Hong suddenly say, "It's not a big deal. There's no need for punishment. Just stay away from the lake in the future."

Wen Xiao almost choked herself with a mouthful of watermelon, and looked at Nie Hong suspiciously.

Nie Hong patted the back of Wen Xiao's hand soothingly, his expression remained unchanged, as if he hadn't noticed Su Lan's instantly pale face.

Su Lan walked around the lake under the sun for two hours, her image is not very good now, but now her face is pale, making her even more embarrassed.

She hesitated for a moment, then knelt down and said in a hoarse voice, "This concubine didn't deliberately disturb the emperor's interest, this concubine just wanted to pick some lotus seeds to make soup for the queen mother..."

"Oh?" Nie Hong raised his eyebrows, his expression softened, and he seemed to believe Su Lan's statement.

Su Lan settled down a bit, took the small basket in Bai Ru's hand, pushed it forward, and said softly, "The concubine only picked these, if your majesty wants to use them, after the concubine cooks the soup, I will send it to Cheng in person. Qian Palace..."

After finishing speaking, she raised her head slightly and gave Nie Hong a shy and timid look.

Nie Hong didn't think it was so good-looking, but the gaze beside him was looking straight at him, which made the powerful emperor a little apprehensive.

"What a beautiful Su Ronghua with a beautiful heart."

Wen Xiao glanced at Nie Hong faintly, and patted the cat's back, "Does Su Ronghua know that bullying the emperor is a serious crime against the nine clans?"

Su Lan froze for a moment, then quickly knelt on the ground and said she didn't dare.

"There are no concubines, why does the imperial concubine say that about concubines?" Tears welled up in Su Lan's eyes instantly.

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

Su Lan froze for a moment, then subconsciously nodded.

"But your clothes are so clean, it doesn't look like you just picked lotus seeds." Wen Xiao looked at her coldly, "No matter how careful you are, with your long sleeves, there will be some water stains, so what? Will it be so clean?"

Su Lan's reaction was also quick, and she immediately explained, "This lotus seed was harvested by the concubine's personal maid, and the concubine did not do it herself..."

"That would be even more interesting," Wen Xiao looked at Su Lan jokingly, "If you don't pick lotus flowers, how can you personally row the boat?"

Su Lan choked up, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Concubine, there is no concubine, it was Bai Ru, the concubine's maid, who punted a boat and approached the lotus pods, and then picked them..."

"Oh?" The smile on Wen Xiao's face became clearer, "Then tell me, I'm sending people to go around the lake now, can they find traces of you picking lotus?"

Su Lan finally couldn't take it anymore, she knelt down on the ground with sweat profusely, speechless.

Nie Hong snorted coldly, with a hint of impatience in his tone.

"Talking about picking lotus for the Empress Dowager, but actually using lotus seeds that I don't know where to fool me and the Empress Dowager. I am unfaithful and unvirtuous. I think it's my first offence, and I want to be demoted to the fifth-rank concubine."

Before Su Lan could think of a way to defend herself, Nie Hong's voice rang out.
