The mistress of the Hou family went crazy after doting on concubines and killing their wives.

Chapter 237: Murder of the Crown Prince's Consort
Qin Wan was in the room thinking about how to make Lu Liuli and Sun Ruyun break up with each other, when she suddenly remembered something that happened in her previous life.

Counting the time, it is today.

"Zhiruo, quickly call Fuxiao and Luzhu to follow me out of the house. Xiyan, change into palace clothes for me."

Qin Wan went to the inner room to look for clothes while giving instructions.

They came quickly at dawn.

"Fuxiao, go find Qingming..." Qin Wan ordered in a low voice.

At dawn they saw her wearing formal palace attire and knew she was going to enter the palace.

Fuxiao nodded: "Green Pearl and Red Pearl, take good care of the girl. I will catch up with you soon."

"Can you two swim?"

"Yes." The two sisters said in unison.

Qin Wan was relieved, "Let's go."

Luzhu and Hongzhu quickly prepared a carriage, and the three of them left the house together and soon arrived at the eldest princess's house.

"Sister Yuyi, let's go to the palace right away to meet the emperor and plead for our lady." Qin Wan said loudly as soon as she entered the room.

Li Yuyi and Feng Wenjun were talking when they saw Qin Wan rushing in wearing a palace dress. They were both stunned.

Qin Wan walked into the room and lowered her voice: "Today is the best opportunity. Sister Yuyi and I will enter the palace, and there will be a breakthrough soon."

Li Yuyi was a little surprised when she heard what Qin Wan said: "How do you know today is a good opportunity?"

Feng Wenjun also lowered her voice: "You are not really going to beg for mercy, are you? If so, don't enter the palace, lest you be dragged into this quagmire."

Qin Wan couldn't say that it was something she had heard in her previous life: "I got the news that today Lu Liuli asked Sun Ruyun to come to the palace to visit Concubine Lu who was reprimanded by His Majesty. I thought I could take this opportunity to run into her and spread some rumors to stir up a dispute between them."

Li Yuyi naturally believed Qin Wan and gave orders to the palace maids without hesitation.

"Okay, I'll go into the palace with you. Suiru, change my clothes quickly."

Suiru and several palace maids quickly helped Li Yuyi change into formal palace clothes.

Feng Wenjun was worried, so she pulled Qin Wan aside and told her, "Don't start a dispute with His Majesty."

"Don't worry, miss. If everything goes well, we can leave the palace without seeing His Majesty." Qin Wan blinked.

In her previous life, Qin Wan accidentally heard Madam Xie and Xie Huaiyu talking about the competition between the Lu and Sun families for the position of Crown Princess. They also said that an accident happened when Li Haochuan's wife Sun Ruyun and Lu Liuli entered the palace together. Sun Ruyun accidentally fell into the water and was rescued by a eunuch. In full view of everyone, the two came out of the water hugging each other, causing Sun Ruyun to be ruined.

The eunuch was beaten to death on the spot, and Sun Ruyun hanged himself shortly after returning to the eldest prince's residence.

But the matter did not seem to attract the attention of Duke Sun's Mansion, or perhaps Lu Liuli covered it up well and no one discovered that it was Lu Liuli who did it.

At that time, she thought they were competing for the position of Li Haoyu's principal wife, so she didn't pay too much attention to it, and was still wondering what the position of Crown Princess had to do with Sun Ruyun.

Now that I think about it, I realize that at that time they were already planning to remove Li Haoyu from the position of Crown Princess.

And the time they said it happened was today.

If they had entered the palace as usual today, then Lu Liuli's plan would have been carried out.

Dawn came quickly.

"How is it?" Qin Wan pulled her excitedly.

"Qingming said that they had just entered the palace and were heading towards Concubine Lu's palace." Fuxiao nodded.

Qin Wan's eyes lit up, and she pulled Li Yuyi into the carriage: "Let's talk after we get in the carriage."

The carriage rushed towards the palace at a very fast speed.

"What exactly happened?" Li Yuyi couldn't hold it in.

"Sun Ruyun and Lu Liuli entering the palace today is actually a trap set by the Lu family. The purpose is to ruin Sun Ruyun's reputation." Qin Wan explained very quickly.

Li Yuyi understood immediately: "You mean, Lu is planning to dethrone his brother, push Li Haochuan to the top, and then take away Sun Ruyun's position as the crown prince?"

"Exactly."

Li Yuyi opened his mouth and sneered: "It's true that people of the same family are alike. In front of the imperial power, the Sun and Lu families are equally vicious to their own people." When Li Yuyi and Qin Wan arrived at the Imperial Garden, they happened to see Sun Ruyun fall into the water.

Lu Liuli, who was standing nearby, was shouting in panic, "Hurry up, someone, the eldest prince's wife has fallen into the water."

Sun Ruyun's maids couldn't swim and were so anxious that they jumped on the shore.

A noble lady dragged a eunuch and ran over: "Hurry up and get in the water to save him."

The eunuch hesitated. How could he dare to go into the water to save the eldest prince's wife?
The noble lady kicked him from behind and the eunuch fell into the water.

"Hurry up and save people. If anything happens to the Crown Prince's wife, you will not survive." The lady screamed on the shore.

Lu Liuli also shouted: "The eldest prince's wife is about to drown, you should swim over quickly to save her."

The eunuch was helpless and was about to swim over.

"Green Pearl, Red Pearl, save people!"

Before Qin Wan could finish her words, Luzhu and Hongzhu jumped into the water together and swam away quickly like two flying fish.

Lu Zhu quickly intercepted the eunuch and shouted at him, "Why don't you go back to the shore!"

The eunuch swam away immediately.

Hongzhu had already swam to Sun Ruyun, lifted her chin and swam towards the shore. Luzhu also swam over quickly to help.

Sun Ruyun's maid quickly squatted down, and several people hurriedly pulled the person onto the table.

Qin Wan and Li Yuyi approached, and both saw the gloom in the eyes of Lu Liuli and the other noble lady.

When Lu Liuli saw the two of them, she was stunned. Then she came over and pretended to greet them: "Your Highness the Princess and Madam Xie."

The noble lady also came over and saluted: "Your servant He Jinhua greets Her Royal Highness the Grand Princess and Madam Xie the Crown Prince."

Qin Wan took a look at her and felt that she looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen her before.

When the lady saw her looking at her, she introduced herself: "I am the niece's granddaughter of Madam Xie's family."

Someone from Lu Jinshu’s mother’s family?

Qin Wan remembered that she had seen her in the Xie family in her previous life. She was originally one of the candidates for the prince's concubine.

No wonder Old Madam Xie and Xie Huaiyu knew it so clearly, it turned out that their family members were involved in this matter.

Sun Ruyun was wrapped in clothes by the maid, her face was pale, as if she was too frightened.

The eunuch wanted to escape, but was controlled by the guards brought into the palace by Li Yuyi.

Li Yuyi glanced at her and ordered, "Xiangluan Palace is not far away. Hurry up and change your clothes to avoid catching a cold."

Sui Ru winked at the palace maids beside her, and two palace maids immediately stepped forward, pulled the maids aside, carried Sun Ruyun and left.

Li Yuyi and Qin Wan looked at each other and followed.

Seeing this, Lu Liuli rushed forward to stop Li Yuyi: "Princess, you finally returned to the palace, you should go to see His Majesty. I will go with Ruyun."

Li Yuyi looked at her coldly: "Why, you haven't even become the Crown Princess yet, and you want to control me?"

Lu Liuli's expression changed slightly, and she smiled and said, "I dare not..."

Li Yuyi curled her lips and said, "You are right. I haven't seen my father for a long time. I came to the palace today to apologize to him. Who knew I would see such a good show."

She turned to Sui Ru and ordered, "Go and tell the emperor that someone is trying to murder the eldest prince's wife. Please come to Xiangluan Palace."

"Yes." Suiru glanced at a palace maid beside her, and the maid left immediately.

Lu Liuli and He Jinhua both turned pale.

"Your Highness the Princess..."

"Come here, take away the two people who plotted to murder the eldest prince's wife." Li Yuyi ordered in a cold voice, pulling Qin Wan towards Xiangluan Palace.

Luzhu and Hongzhu stepped forward and each twisted their arms behind their backs. The two screamed in pain but could not break free.
