Chapter 308 Plum Blossom Roasting 7
Shangshufu

Li Minglin was a little flustered these two days. Although Li Mingyao entered the palace instead of his daughter, he was still uneasy.

Because even if they look exactly the same, they have different temperaments. Li Mingyao is active and not afraid of getting into trouble, while her daughter is quiet and cowardly.

"Master, they both look the same, nothing will happen." Mrs. Li comforted.

"Ama Erniang, Mingyao and I have made arrangements, even if something happens, we have a way to remedy it." Li Wanru said with a smile on her face.

"What way?" Li Minglin asked hastily.

"If someone really checks, we'll say it like this..." Li Wangu said the solution.

Li Minglin's frowning brows were loosened, and he sighed and said, "That's the only way, Mei'er, help Miss go back to her room."

"Yes, master." Mei Er supported Li Wanru and left.

As soon as the two left, Eunuch De rushed in aggressively with a group of people.

"Master Li, where is your daughter?" Eunuch De looked at Li Minglin coldly.

"Didn't you enter the palace yesterday?" Li Minglin said with a guilty conscience.

"That's fake, Mr. Li, you are so brave, you dare to deceive the king, arrest me." Eunuch De waved his hand at the people beside him with a gloomy expression.

"Stop" Just when everyone was about to make a move, Li Wanru rushed out.

"Master Li, you really are deceiving the emperor." Eunuch De became even more angry.

"Eunuch De, Wanru remembers that the law expressly stipulates that all unmarried daughters of officials above the ninth rank who are 16 to [-] years old can be drafted, is there a mistake?" Li Wanru asked.

"That's the reason," Eunuch De snorted.

"Then there is nothing wrong with Mingyao entering the palace," Li Wanru said.

"What do you mean?" Eunuch De asked puzzledly.

"Li Mingyao is Ama's adopted daughter. She is my younger sister. In order to repay the emperor's favor, the Li family is willing to send both daughters to the palace for draft. I only left later because I was unwell, and I didn't intend to hide it. When Ah Ma was about to invite the emperor, Eunuch De sent someone to investigate." Li Wanru could only lie to Eunuch De for the sake of the entire Li family.

"But why does she look exactly like you?" Eunuch De was still a little puzzled.

"My younger sister looks a bit like me, but there are still differences after careful identification." Li Wanru said calmly, this is also what Li Mingyao confessed before entering the palace.

"So that's how it is. Our family will go to the court immediately to reveal the truth." Eunuch De looked at Li Wanru and the others, then turned and left.

"Now I can only send you into the palace again." Li Minglin sighed.

"Daughter, I have wronged you, my poor daughter." Mrs. Li hugged her daughter and cried bitterly.

"That's fine, with Mingyao accompanying me in the palace, I won't be wronged." Li Wanru forced a smile, she really didn't want to enter the palace, but now she couldn't escape.

"Forget it, it's fate. Fortunately, Mingyao is also in the palace, she will protect you..." Li Minglin looked at his daughter, turned and left.

"Daughter, you must keep in mind that after entering the palace..." Mrs. Li pulled her daughter to sit down and confessed some things uneasy.

Li Wanru returned to the room, sat down with a lot of thoughts, thought that she would escape the fate of entering the palace and becoming the emperor's woman, and grow old with the one she loves, but in the end she still couldn't escape.

She sighed, picked up the pen and wrote a letter, and said with complicated feelings: "Meier, after I leave, give this letter to him, and tell him that I have betrayed him..."

"Miss, Mei'er can't bear to part with you." Mei'er cried while hugging her young lady.

"Mei'er, I will come back to see you when I am free." Li Wanru patted Mei'er's back lightly, comforting her.
