Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Luo Lan walking in with a pale face. She saluted the emperor and said:

"Father, please don't rush to convict Concubine Li. As a doctor, I know what's going on."

Seeing her standing there, Leng Yu hurried over to help her, and the emperor waved his hand and said:

"Yu'er, help her sit down quickly."

Luo Lan sat down with Leng Yu's support. She raised her eyebrows and glanced at Concubine Li who was kneeling on the ground, with a hint of pride on her lips.

Since you want to harm my child without anyone knowing, I will use your own method to repay you and let you know that I, Princess Yu, am not someone you can easily mess with.

However, this time I just want to teach her a lesson and scare her. If she dares to do anything to me again next time, it won’t be so easy to solve the problem.

When Concubine Li saw her sitting down, she asked anxiously:

"Princess Yu, I gave you this handkerchief out of kindness. I don't know how it got fennel on it, but I truly didn't intend to use it to harm your child. Even if I did, I wouldn't have done it so blatantly!"

"Empress Li is right."

Luo Lan raised his eyebrows slightly, chuckled, and nodded, "Father, I also think that Empress Li is right. She wouldn't be so foolish as to use a handkerchief to harm me. That would be easily discovered. If she really wanted to harm me, she could use other methods, such as using a knife to kill someone else..."

When she said this, she looked at Concubine Li with a deep gaze, staring at her so hard that she lowered her head in panic.

In fact, her heart was beating fast at this moment. Could it be that she found out about the purse?

"Empress Li..."

When she was at a loss, Luo Lan suddenly raised his voice and asked:

"I'm a doctor and know a lot about medicinal herbs. Fennel is harmful to pregnant women. Ordinary people use it to fumigate clothes and other items to boost their spirits. Perhaps, the maidservant beside you is doing this to boost your spirits, Madam Li?"

Her words reminded Concubine Li that she had no way of explaining herself, so she might as well go with the flow and dispel the emperor's doubts first.

Thinking of this, she nodded hurriedly.

"Princess Yu is right. I'll check it out later."

At this moment, Madam Lu, who was standing outside the door, rolled her eyes a few times, walked in directly, and knelt down in front of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the incense on this handkerchief was sprayed by this old servant to cheer up Madam Li. I didn't know it would end up in the hands of Princess Yu. Please punish me, Majesty. This matter has nothing to do with Madam Li."

Obviously, this Madam Lu wanted to take the blame.

A clear and beautiful look flashed in Luo Lan's eyes, and then he said to the emperor:

"Father, since Empress Li did this unintentionally, I only had a miscarriage. I just need to go back and rest. Please don't blame Empress Li for this matter."

Seeing this, Concubine Li nodded hurriedly.

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I will never do it again next time. Please forgive my carelessness!"

Seeing this, the emperor's anger that had just risen subsided a lot. He frowned coldly and waved his hand.

"In that case, let's leave this matter at that. I'll have some supplements sent to Prince Yu's mansion later. Princess Yu, you must take good care of yourself during this period. The royal heir is in your womb, so don't be careless."

Luo Lan stood up from his chair slowly and bowed, "I understand, your Majesty. Thank you, Father."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Concubine Li with a cunning look in her eyes, and an indescribable smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

The incident ended just like that. After returning to Prince Yu's Mansion, Leng Yu peeled an apple for Luo Lan while asking:

"Madam, was this arranged by you?"

Hearing this, Luo Lan looked at him in surprise, "Why did you say that, my husband?"

Leng Yu cut the peeled apple into small pieces, put one into her mouth, and said softly:

"I only know that you were warning her. I don't know what she did to you."

Her words made Luo Lan stunned for a moment, then she ate the apple in her mouth and nodded.

"Nothing can be hidden from my husband. She did intend to harm me, but I saw through it, so I really just wanted to teach her a lesson."

Hearing this, Leng Yu suddenly looked at her with cold eyes, and there was anger in his eyes, "What did she do to you?"

Seeing that he was a little angry, she quickly put her hand on his and shook her head to explain, "It's not a big deal. But having a child in the royal family is really like walking on thin ice, so I am giving everyone a warning in advance, so that no one will dare to harm me in the future."

Hearing this, Leng Yu looked at her in a daze, raised his hand and held her hand in his, brought it to his mouth and kissed it while saying self-reproachfully:

"I'm sorry for making you feel wronged. Don't worry, I will protect you well from now on until our child is born."

Protect well? How? Even if you are always by your side, some things are hard to guard against.

Who would have thought that the purse Yu Qiaoqiao gave her would be a tool for Concubine Li to kill someone with a borrowed knife?

So she shook her head with clear eyes and smiled gently:

"Don't worry, my husband. I will be more careful in the future. Besides, after this incident, I believe no one will dare to act rashly again."

Leng Yu stuffed another piece of apple into her mouth and asked in confusion:

"Since you know she has the intention to harm you, why are you helping her today?"

"Because that handkerchief was just a lead, it wasn't enough to explain the problem. The Emperor would eventually find out after a thorough investigation that there's no serious problem for a pregnant woman to smell fennel for a short period of time. Everyone was a little flustered at the time, so we forgot about it. Besides, I didn't want to make a big deal out of it; that wouldn't be good for anyone."

Leng Yu had some idea of ​​what she said, but he still nodded heavily.

"No matter what, my lady, you must be more careful in the future. As you said, giving birth to a child smoothly in the royal family is not an easy thing. Over the years, many concubines in the harem have suffered miscarriages during pregnancy. Thinking about it now, it's really a bit scary."

Luo Lan pouted and said coquettishly with some grievance:

"The Emperor is the only man in the entire palace. How can one gain his exclusive favor without some tricks? In fact, the source of all these things lies with the Emperor. If he could treat everyone equally, or... or just marry one woman, could this kind of thing be avoided?"

Leng Yu's eyebrows flickered a few times, and he half-closed his eyes and said jokingly:

"From ancient times to the present, I have never heard of an emperor marrying only one woman. I wonder if there will be one in the future!"

Hearing him say that, she pouted and ignored him.

Realizing that she was a little unhappy, Leng Yu moved his face closer to her and said to her with a smile:

"But maybe there will be one in the future..."

Hearing him say this, Luo Lan's eyes sparkled, and he muttered deliberately, "What are you talking about?"

"Why? Didn't you say it had never happened before? Could it be that the next emperor will be a eunuch?"
