"Sister Gu, please go and take a look first. I won't be in any trouble here alone." Qin Ruoruo said.

Gu Yanyue had no choice but to stand up and said to Qin Ruoruo: "I'll go take a look first and be back soon."

Qin Ruoruo nodded in agreement, and Gu Yanyue and Ah Yan walked away. Qin Ruoruo felt extremely bored staying here alone, so after drinking her milk tea, she planned to take the maid she brought into the palace for a stroll in the Imperial Garden.

Qin Ruoruo, like Gu Yanyue, was a lotus lover. The lotus flowers everywhere in the capital could not compare to those in the imperial garden of the palace. After she told Xiao Mo about it, she took the maid to the lakeside.

Before Qin Ruoruo reached the lake, she suddenly heard a woman's short scream from the front, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

"thump!"

The sound sounded like someone falling from somewhere. There were rocks everywhere near the rockery. Qin Ruoruo was afraid that if someone really fell from a height and hit their head, it would be a serious problem, so she immediately walked over with her maid.

After passing the rockery, there was a long staircase. At the bottom of the staircase, a woman was lying on the ground. She was bleeding profusely. If she was not treated quickly, her life would be in danger. Qin Ruoruo strode forward, ready to check on the woman. As soon as she turned her over, she froze in place when she saw her face clearly.

The person who fell down the stairs was actually Liu Yanyan! Liu Yanyan was clutching her lower abdomen at this moment, her face covered in sweat, her face as pale as the wall. She curled up into a ball, screaming in pain, and kept shouting: "Child...child...my child..."

Qin Ruoruo looked up from the position where Liu Yanyan was and found that the steps there had been tampered with. Not to mention Liu Yanyan, even if she passed by there, she would fall down.

Seeing that it was Qin Ruoruo who came, Liu Yanyan stretched out her hand with difficulty and uttered only two words: "Child." Then she tilted her head and fainted.

The maidservant had been following Qin Ruoruo the entire time, so she naturally knew that the child in Liu Yanyan's belly was not a true dragon seed. Qin Ruoruo had also thought about making her have a miscarriage, but the current situation was not in Qin Ruoruo's favor, so she asked, "Miss, this is..."

"Go call someone." Qin Ruoruo frowned and said, "The baby in Liu Yanyan's belly is probably gone, but Liu Yanyan can still be saved. As a doctor, I can't just stand by and watch her die."

The maid nodded and hurried over. Xiao Mo also heard the noise here, and thought that the concubines in another palace had started fighting again, so he hurried over with his men, but saw Qin Ruoruo and Liu Yanyan, who was dressed in blood red, together.

Thinking about what Qin Ruoruo had just said, it seemed like Qin Ruoruo had attacked Liu Yanyan, but she lost control of her stance and made a big fuss.

Xiao Mo immediately looked around and said to Qin Ruoruo, "Miss Qin, don't worry. There's no one here right now. If someone says you pushed Concubine Liu down, we'll help you bear false witness and we won't let you fall into the hands of the Queen Mother and the others."

Qin Ruoruo sighed softly, knowing that her words had misled them, and she explained the whole story to Xiao Mo. Xiao Mo nodded repeatedly, and after realizing that she had misunderstood Qin Ruoruo, she quickly apologized to her. Then she immediately realized, "Since it wasn't you, Miss Qin, who pushed the car, then who is the murderer?"

"She had disappeared before I arrived." Qin Ruoruo stared: "Anyone who can hurt people like this in the palace must be from a powerful background. You can ask His Majesty and Sister Gu to investigate it thoroughly. It might be a drama directed and acted by the Queen Mother and others." As she spoke, Qin Ruoruo looked at the dying Concubine Liu on the ground and sighed.

The servants arrived quickly and were shocked to see Concubine Liu's condition. Although Yuwen Ran didn't seem to mind Concubine Liu's pregnancy, he knew she was pregnant with his first son, and he wondered if he would be furious if he found out the child was gone.

Without saying much, these people quickly sent Concubine Liu to Yanxi Palace. They wanted to go to the Imperial Hospital to ask for a doctor, but Qin Ruoruo flatly refused. She asked the maid to get her medical box and planned to rescue Liu Yanyan herself.

Seeing that it was Qin Ruoruo who was treating Liu Yanyan, Xiao Mo knew that Liu Yanyan would be alright, so he immediately sent someone to inform Yuwen Ran and Gu Yanyue. Regardless of whether the child was Yuwen Ran's or not, Qin Ruoruo was the first to discover Liu Yanyan's condition, and he insisted that Yuwen Ran and Gu Yanyue come over to see her. This was to prevent the Queen Mother from getting wind of the news and causing trouble with Qin Ruoruo.

Yuwen Ran and Gu Yanyue quickly arrived, but Qin Ruoruo discovered that He Fangyan, who had gone to Yuwen Ran's study to discuss matters upon entering the palace, was nowhere to be seen. But saving Liu Yanyan was more important at the moment, so Qin Ruoruo only glanced at him briefly before returning her attention to Liu Yanyan.

After Yuwen Ran arrived, he just asked the people around him and they said that there was not even a maidservant beside Concubine Liu at that time, otherwise she would not have fallen down the stairs without anyone to support her. When he asked people to go and rescue her, he saw the maids in Qin Ruoruo and Gu Yanyue's palace.

After hearing this, Gu Yanyue frowned and asked, "Wasn't Concubine Liu talking with Miss Shangguan in Yanxi Palace? How did she suddenly come to the Imperial Garden without a single palace maid accompanying her? How do you, the people in Yanxi Palace, serve her?"

Before the maid from Yanxi Palace could say anything, a short scream suddenly rang out from the room. Then, the maid from Yanxi Palace suddenly ran out, knelt down in front of Gu Yanyue and Yuwen Ran, and kowtowed repeatedly. Gu Yanyue was frightened by this and was about to ask what happened to Liu Yanyan when she saw Qin Ruoruo walk out.

When Qin Ruoruo came out, the blood on her hands had not yet been wiped clean. She stared blankly at Gu Yanyue. After a long while, she whispered, "Sister Gu, Liu Yanyan...Liu Yanyan is gone..."

As soon as Qin Ruoruo said this, everyone in the room fell silent.

"No more?" It was Gu Yanyue who spoke. She asked, "How come Liu Yanyan suddenly knew it?"

"I was a step too late when I sent her back. If I had discovered it earlier, she wouldn't have… she wouldn't have…"

When Gu Yanyue learned that neither Liu Yanyan nor the baby in her belly had survived, she couldn't describe the feeling in her heart. Liu Yanyan was naturally stupid, but she had never imagined that Liu Yanyan would actually die in the palace like this...
