Is pig trotter soup poisonous?

Gu Yanyue remained calm and composed. She slowly approached, her palm-sized face filled with indifference. "Since you insist on believing that I poisoned the pig's trotter soup, then let the imperial physician come and determine whether the soup is poisonous or not."

The imperial physician naturally saw everything that had just happened.

Even though Gu Yanyue had been looked on coldly by others in the harem, he knew in his heart that she was still the empress above everyone else and had a very noble status.

He bowed and said, "I obey your command."

The imperial physician calmly took out the silver needle, while Luqiao opened the lid as instructed by Yanyue.

A fragrance hits you in the face.

The imperial physician couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and then he carefully put it into the pig's trotter soup.

It turns out that pig's trotter soup is not poisonous.

At this time, Yuwen Ran walked over slowly. He glanced at Lu'er coldly and gave her an order without hesitation.

"Come here, drag her away and sell her to Hongyiyuan."

Lu'er knew what Hongyiyuan was.

She hadn't expected that she would end up like this.

Lu'er kept crying and shouting, trying to plead for herself, but everyone's attention was no longer on her.

It’s not so much that Yuwen Ran was cruel enough to sell out Lu’er because she did something wrong.

It would be better to say that Yuwen Ran wanted to take this opportunity to make an example of someone.

Seeing beads of sweat on Gu Yanyue's forehead, it seemed that he had been in a hurry along the way.

Yu Wenran felt a little distressed, and lowered his voice again, saying in a voice that only they could hear: "Ayue, there's no need for you to come all this way."

Even so, Gu Yanyue still shook her head gently, "This is what I should do."

Yuwen Ran couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

Even though Concubine Su tried every means to hurt Gu Yanyue, Gu Yanyue was still kind enough to consider Concubine Su and even made pig's trotter soup for her personally.

At this time, General Su was also waiting outside the bedroom for news of Concubine Su's delivery.

On the surface, he was nervous and worried about Concubine Su's situation, but secretly, General Su had already taken advantage of this opportunity and secretly sent someone to deliver a message, gathering all the troops to hide in the suburbs near Kyoto City, waiting for the opportunity.

After Concubine Su drank the pig's trotter soup, the imperial physician returned to the bedroom to help with the delivery.

Gu Yanyue and Yu Wenran were waiting quietly outside the door.

Two hours later, the sound of a baby crying was heard from the bedroom.

Gu Yanyue and Yu Wenran looked at each other and both breathed a sigh of relief.

Considering that Concubine Su didn't want to see her, Gu Yanyue didn't stay long.

Yuwen Ran entered the bedroom slowly.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Concubine Su has given birth to a little prince."

The elderly nanny carefully picked up the baby in her arms and walked towards Yuwen Ran so that he could see the baby clearly.

Yu Wenran nodded calmly, without any joy in his eyes.

Concubine Su sat up with difficulty with the help of the palace maid.

Feeling pain all over her body, Concubine Su had no choice but to lie back down.

"Empress Su, you just gave birth, you still need to rest well now."

Yuwen Ran coughed lightly twice and simply instructed the palace maids to take good care of her.

At this time, General Su couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, please give him a name."

"This is your first child after all."

Perhaps General Su and Concubine Su always thought that Yuwen Ran was unaware of the situation, but in fact, Yuwen Ran knew the child's true identity better than anyone else, so when he saw the child, there was no emotion in his heart.

He even hoped to resolve all this as soon as possible and go back to see Gu Yanyue earlier.

"I know you are used to crossing Qilian City, so how could you be worried about seeing the moon in Luntai? Otherwise, you should just call me Yuwen Zhi."

Yuwen Ran had no intention of standing on one side, and he even casually chose his name.

This is a child with mixed royal blood. Why should he want him?

If the Su family wasn't so powerful, how could this child be born?

Concubine Su naturally noticed that Yuwen Ran was slightly distracted. She was annoyed, but there was nothing she could do about him.

This casually chosen name made Concubine Su even more angry.

But in General Su's eyes, this "Zhi" is not the prince's apparent name.

On the contrary, Yuwen Ran was reminding himself in disguise to "stop".

General Su withdrew his gaze awkwardly and pretended to be calm as he thanked Yuwen Ran for the name.

The next morning, in the main hall.

"If you have something to report, please do so. If not, please leave the court."

As soon as the eunuch finished speaking, Yu Linyi, the Minister of Rites of the Hanlin Academy, took two steps forward.

He cupped his hands and bowed to Yuwen Ran in the hall, "Your humble servant has something to report."

Long before this, General Su had secretly bribed the Minister of Rites in order to provoke debate among the court officials.

Seeing Yu Linyi like this, Yuwen Ran waved his hand casually, signaling him to speak frankly.

"I believe you all know that Concubine Su gave birth to a prince yesterday."

When Yu Wenran suddenly heard Yu Linyi mention the prince, he narrowed his eyes slightly, probably guessing what would happen next.

"In my humble opinion, that prince has the potential to be an emperor and is the most suitable candidate for the crown prince."

One sentence broke the silence in the hall.

While waiting, everyone was talking about it.

"This Imperial Concubine Su just gave birth to a prince, and Lord Yu can already tell that the prince has the potential to be an emperor?"

The person who spoke was General Shen, who was respected by everyone in the court.

He was of some age, and had always been outspoken.

What's more, what General Shen hated most in his life were these colluding gangs.

Choked by General Shen's words, Yu Linyi was unable to say anything.

"Just as Commandant Shen said, Lord Yu has never met the little prince in private before, so how could he know that he is the emperor's prime minister?" The one who sneered at this moment was Master Yu. He was no different from Commandant Shen and had always disliked such flatterers.

The implication is that Yu Linyi is talking nonsense.

If Yu Linyi insisted that the little prince was the emperor's son, he would be guilty of meeting with Concubine Su in private.

Yu Linyi never expected things to turn out like this.

He had originally accepted benefits from General Su and wanted to say a few good words for the little prince, but he did not expect to end up in such a situation. Not only did he become the target of public criticism, but he was also interrogated by these loyal ministers one by one.

"Master Yu, do you have anything to say in your defense?"

Captain Shen continued to ask questions relentlessly.

Seeing this, many of General Su's followers defended Yu Linyi, "General Shen, you don't understand these things, so it's better not to intervene rashly. After all, you are old..."
