If Gu Yanyue continues to stay with Yu Wenran, it will not be easy to eliminate her in the future.

It is better to take advantage of this opportunity and pursue the victory.

Thinking of this, General Su clenched his hands into fists hidden in his sleeves, and his face was gloomy.

Gu Yanyue was also well aware of this.

General Su came to see her specially today, probably because he wanted to make the final move.

At this moment, General Su will definitely join forces with Concubine Su, and even find ways to frame her.

After thinking it over, Gu Yanyue turned around and glanced at the palace maid in front of her.

"Luqiao, take some maids and hide in the dark. Without my order, you must not show up or reveal anything."

Hearing this, Lu Qiao bowed respectfully and said, "I understand."

Looking at a group of palace maids hiding in the bushes of the imperial garden, Gu Yanyue gradually calmed down. No matter what General Su and Concubine Su wanted to do next, she was no longer afraid.

After all, Gu Yanyue had already made all the necessary preparations.

After a brief pause, Gu Yanyue walked alone to the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

She sat down slowly, a look of contentment on her palm-sized face, and she looked quite contented indeed.

But in fact, Gu Yanyue was indeed waiting quietly.

Waiting for the conspiracy to come.

"I never thought the Empress would have such a refined taste that she would secretly leave the palace banquet and hide here alone."

After hearing the familiar voice clearly, Gu Yanyue narrowed her eyes slightly, and a hint of a triumphant smile flashed in her eyes.

"Isn't Concubine Su also coming to the Imperial Garden now?"

The corners of Gu Yanyue's lips lifted slightly, revealing a smile.

Imperial Concubine Su lowered her eyes unnaturally and replied calmly, "I feel that the palace banquet is too boring, so I want to go out for some fresh air."

"This palace and Concubine Su really think alike."

Gu Yanyue smiled nonchalantly, then slowly stood up.

She walked forward, her eyes fixed on Concubine Su.

Seeing Gu Yanyue approaching the pool, a gleam of light flashed in Concubine Su's eyes. This was a good opportunity.

While thinking this, Concubine Su slowly moved over and said, "Empress, the fetus in your belly..."

While speaking, Concubine Su secretly extended her hand.

She originally wanted to push Gu Yanyue hard, forcing Gu Yanyue to lose balance and fall into the pool, but unexpectedly, Gu Yanyue dodged, not only avoiding Concubine Su's push, but also causing Concubine Su herself to lose control.

Gu Yanyue snorted coldly and reached out without hesitation to push Concubine Su.

"thump--"

Concubine Su fell into the water miserably.

After witnessing this scene, Gu Yanyue still remained calm and composed.

"Empress, what are you doing? Why are you so malicious as to deliberately murder the unborn prince?"

The voices of those standing up for justice were gradually getting closer.

When Gu Yanyue heard the voice, she looked over and saw General Su with a red face.

He didn't care about anything else at all. Seeing that the guards beside him were stunned and didn't know what was going on, General Su immediately gave orders.

"What are you still standing there for? Go and save them!"

At this time, General Su came forward angrily again, and when he stopped in front of Gu Yanyue, he pointed out her sins everywhere.

"Empress, I never thought you would be so cruel. Not only did you fail to consider the Emperor, but you even attempted to harm Imperial Concubine Su."

General Su kept blaming Gu Yanyue, as if all this was really what Gu Yanyue did.

Gu Yanyue remained unmoved and simply said nonchalantly, "General Su's appearance was truly timely."

General Su's expression changed slightly. Recalling that there were no other witnesses around Gu Yanyue just now, he simply made a big deal out of the matter.

With no other choice, everyone had to return to the palace banquet.

At this moment, the unconscious Concubine Su had been sent back to the palace and the imperial physician was summoned for examination.

At the banquet, all the important officials were pointing fingers openly and secretly. Especially after hearing General Su's explanation just now, everyone was unconditionally on General Su's side and believed that Gu Yanyue had ulterior motives.

Gu Yanyue stood alone in the center with an indifferent expression.

I never cared about what other people said.

Half a minute later, the imperial physician hurried over. He saluted respectfully and took the initiative to say, "Your Majesty, Concubine Su's fetus is unstable and she is about to give birth."

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Ran nodded to show that he understood.

"Your Majesty, I think this is the Empress' fault. Just as General Su said, it was the Empress who pushed Concubine Su into the pond in a fit of rage. Otherwise..."

Before the man could finish his words, Gu Yanyue interrupted him.

"The truth of the matter will have to wait until my witness arrives."

Finally, Gu Yanyue sent palace maids to bring Luqiao and other maids over.

Luqiao was just a little palace maid and had never seen such a grand occasion.

She was slightly distracted, remembering Gu Yanyue's instructions, calmed herself down, and knelt down in the main hall.

"Your servant Luqiao greets His Majesty."

Yuwen Ran glanced at Gu Yanyue imperceptibly, and when she nodded slightly, he spoke calmly as usual: "Luqiao, tell me everything you saw and heard today."

Luqiao knelt all the time and didn't dare to lie.

"The Empress was a little upset just now, so she stayed alone in the pavilion in the middle of the lake to relax. She also deliberately sent me and others away. However, I was worried about the Empress's health, so I couldn't go far, so I simply hid in the dark."

After a slight pause, Lu Qiao continued, "Later, Noble Concubine Su went all the way and arrived at the Empress's side. I was a little worried that Noble Concubine Su would deliberately cause trouble, so I kept a close eye on her. However, I didn't expect that just as Noble Concubine Su arrived, I and others had already seen General Su suddenly rushing over from a distance."

General Su's "coincidental appearance" attracted everyone's attention.

Yuwen Ran casually tapped the table with his fingers, a hint of impatience in his expression. "General Su, why don't you tell me why you ended up in the Imperial Garden at such an opportune time? Why did you even witness the Empress pushing Concubine Su?"

General Su was a little nervous and didn't have time to answer for a while.

He frowned and looked a little panicked.

At this moment, Yuwen Ran no longer insisted on pursuing the matter of General Su, and stood up directly. "In this matter, the Queen is also innocent. I will naturally send people to investigate the truth. My dear ministers, there is no need to say more now. Please withdraw."
