Yuwen Ran felt contempt in his heart, thinking that Concubine Su was so vicious and petty. She ate well and dressed well, but she still had to care so much about a person who lived in the cold palace.

However, in response to Concubine Su's question, Yuwen Ran did not mention anything about the cold palace or Gu Yanyue. He only said, "How about I send some more supplements and servants to serve my beloved concubine?"

"Your Majesty, you are so kind to me." Concubine Su leaned in his arms, a happy smile on her face, but she was furious in her heart. Yu Wenran simply ignored the question about the cold palace. What did he mean? Was he helping Gu Yanyue? It seemed that he cared a lot about the child in Gu Yanyue's belly!

After Yuwen Ran left the bedroom, Concubine Su immediately changed her expression. Her face became ferocious and she gritted her teeth, as if she wanted to eat someone. Even Lu'er, who was standing by, found it very scary.

"No, Gu Yanyue, I will never lose to you. Isn't it because you killed the prince that you gained the emperor's respect? Then I will force you to have an abortion. Without the prince, I will see how you can fight me!"

Concubine Su called Lu'er over, and the two of them discussed it and decided to give Gu Yanyue the abortion pill!

Noon, cold palace.

Gu Yanyue relaxed in the Imperial Garden and then returned to the cold palace. As soon as she got back, she found a bowl of chicken soup on the table.

Gu Yanyue thought that Liu Mei might want to make soup for her to nourish her body, so she didn't think much about it and picked up the bowl to drink.

But the smell of the chicken soup hit her in the face. She didn't know if it was too greasy or what, but it made Gu Yanyue retch and feel so nauseous that she got goose bumps. Gu Yanyue thought that this might be because she was too sensitive during pregnancy and had such a big reaction to a bowl of chicken soup.

Gu Yanyue couldn't drink the chicken soup anymore, so she went to the kitchen and prepared to make a nutritious meal for herself.

As soon as Gu Yanyue entered, she saw a palace maid squatting stealthily beside her. When she saw Gu Yanyue coming, her face became a little flustered.

Gu Yanyue saw some herbs in the backpack on the ground and felt that they looked familiar. When she got closer, she found that they were scorpion poison grass. This thing can cause pregnant women to have miscarriages!

When the palace maid saw Gu Yanyue discovered the herb, she no longer planned to pretend to be calm and wanted to run away.

Gu Yanyue immediately stepped forward and grabbed her hand, preventing her from leaving. She scolded him, "As I recall, you seemed to be Concubine Su's maid?"

"Your Majesty, I am the maid of Concubine Su, but you, what are you going to do? Why are you holding my hand and not letting me go? Concubine Su is still pregnant, and I have to go back to take care of her. Please let me go, Your Majesty!" The maid looked at her with fear. After all, Gu Yanyue was pregnant with the prince. If people knew that she wanted to kill the prince, wouldn't she be dead?

Gu Yanyue pointed at the scorpion poison grass in the backpack and said angrily, "I just smelled the scent of that scorpion poison grass and it felt familiar. It's like... it smells like a bowl of chicken soup. Could it be that you put that bowl of chicken soup in the cold palace?"

The palace maid was so frightened that she began to tremble, cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She was so frightened by Gu Yanyue's fierce momentum that her brain could not think straight: "This, this servant was forced to do this. In fact, I have no intention of harming the prince at all!"

When Gu Yanyue heard this, she immediately understood that Concubine Su had already known about her pregnancy and was trying to force her to have an abortion!

"I can't see anyone. So I went to the kitchen to slack off!" Lu'er suddenly appeared and scolded the palace maid: "If the queen is unwell, you will have many heads to chop off. What are you standing there for? Why don't you go back and serve the queen!"

As Lu'er spoke, she quietly stretched out her palm to show the palace maid, and there were words written on her palm: Keep it a secret, the Queen will protect you.

Now, the palace maid felt relieved and wanted to leave, but Gu Yanyue wouldn't let her.

Lu Er rolled her eyes at her and said, "You've already been banished to the cold palace. What qualifications do you have to manage us palace maids? Don't you even consider your own worth?"

Gu Yanyue was unhappy when she heard this: "So, you are qualified to teach me a lesson? Do you believe that I will punish you with a stick? Do you think I have this right?"

"You, you dare! I am Concubine Su's person. If you dare to do this, the Queen will definitely not let you go!" Lu'er was a little lacking in confidence, but she couldn't lose that momentum.

At this time, for some reason, Yuwen Ran appeared and came to the kitchen!

"Why are you so noisy? What happened?" Yu Wenran frowned and looked at Lu'er unhappily.

The maid, believing that Imperial Concubine Su would definitely save her, bravely said, "Your Majesty, I was the one who planted the poisonous scorpion grass. I've seen you many times in the kitchen mixing herbs for pregnancy protection. I thought you were pregnant, and that this would be detrimental to Imperial Concubine Su, so I decided to protect you and thought..."

Gu Yanyue knew she was lying as soon as she heard it, but she had no evidence to expose her. Since she was willing to risk her life for Concubine Su, she was destined to be a cannon fodder.

So, the palace maid was sentenced to death, and the matter was over.

But Gu Yanyue and Yu Wenran both knew that the palace maid was just a tool and the real murderer was Concubine Su.

A few days later, the palace maid was to be beheaded in public, but that night, Concubine Su did not go to save her.

"My Queen, why haven't you come to save me yet? Are you lying to me?" The maid muttered to herself. Tomorrow morning would be her death date.

"No, since I am just your tool, you can forget about living in this world!" The maid bit her finger in hatred and wrote down Concubine Su's evil deeds on the prison wall with her blood.

But he could not change his fate at all, and was executed the next day.

Yuwen Ran and Gu Yanyue have been spending the past few days together, feeling very happy. They have already left the palace for an outing.

By the lake in the suburbs.

"It seems that I can't eat casually. From now on, I can only eat the food I cook. There are too many people with evil intentions, and few people in this palace can be trusted. The imperial physician kept saying that he would keep it confidential, but he still leaked the news to Concubine Su." Gu Yanyue said leisurely while sitting by the lake fishing.

"Ayue, don't be afraid, I will protect you!" Yuwen Ran put his arm around her shoulders and said confidently.

"I'm tired of hearing you say that!" Gu Yanyue laughed. Although she said that, she felt particularly happy in her heart every time she heard it.

The fishing rod moved, and the fish was hooked.

"Wow, Your Majesty, what a big fish!"

…

At this time, Concubine Su on the other side.

"What? The Emperor and Gu Yanyue went for an outing?" Concubine Su was so angry that her face turned ferocious, and Lu'er beside her was so scared that she dared not even breathe.

"She is also pregnant with a prince, so why does he always run to Gu Yanyue? I am so angry! No, I must not let Gu Yanyue go. Since you must fight with me, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Concubine Su clenched her fists and had already decided to kill Gu Yanyue.
