Concubine Liang smiled, and her originally plain face suddenly brightened up. She pulled Lu Yanluo and kept thanking her.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Liang Guiren's smiling face suddenly changed, and she covered her stomach with one hand: "I... my stomach hurts..."
Lu Yanluo's face changed, and she quickly helped the person to the bed beside her, stretched out her hand to take the person's pulse, and then frowned. It was obvious that Concubine Liang's fetus was unstable and she was having a miscarriage!
"Someone, come! Lady Liang suddenly has severe abdominal pain, go and call the imperial physician!"
Lu Yanluo did not tell anyone that Concubine Liang was pregnant, she only said that she had abdominal pain.
Anyway, once diagnosed, it can be seen that Concubine Liang is pregnant. After all, it is more appropriate to hear this from the imperial physician than from himself or Concubine Liang.
The imperial physician hurried into Yilan Palace, and as expected, after taking Concubine Liang's pulse, he told her that Concubine Liang was pregnant. He then pointed out that Concubine Liang's fetus was unstable and there were signs of miscarriage.
Just at this moment, there was a very regular sound of footsteps outside. Lu Yanluo's heart moved. She patted Liang Guiren soothingly and got up to check outside.
Outside, the guards had surrounded the entire Yichun Palace, and not just this place, it seemed as if all the guards in the entire palace had started moving.
When the leader saw Lu Yanluo coming out, he hurried over and said respectfully, "Hello, Princess. An assassin just broke into the palace. His Majesty ordered us to check for suspicious people in the palace. Princess, you'd better stay away for the time being to avoid being offended by someone so blind."
Seeing this, Lu Yanluo nodded, thanked her, and returned to Yilan Palace again. She told Concubine Liang what was happening outside and asked her to rest assured and take care of her pregnancy.
Lady Liang was already suffering from unbearable abdominal pain, and now she was even more nervous. She raised her hand with difficulty to motion Lu Yanluo to come to her side.
"Outside... there are too many people outside, don't go out for now. I'm afraid someone with ulterior motives will take the opportunity to harm you. I can only feel more at ease if you stay here."
Lu Yanluo naturally thought of it as well, and sat sideways next to Concubine Liang to make her feel at ease.
At this time, the imperial physician wrote the prescription and came to the bedside of Concubine Liang again, saying, "The prescription has been written. Your Majesty, please send someone to the Imperial Hospital to get the medicine immediately and boil it for you to take."
Concubine Liang nodded slightly and asked the maid to go with the imperial physician to get the medicine. The imperial physician bowed and was about to leave. As he moved, a very strange smell came to Lu Yanluo's nose.
"Wait." Lu Yanluo opened her mouth to stop the imperial physician. After looking him up and down, she looked at the sachet on the imperial physician's waist.
The smell just now was very familiar, it was the smell of safflower. Lu Yanluo was sure that she was not mistaken.
"Bring me the sachet on your waist." Lu Yanluo stared at the doctor nonchalantly: "I think the sachet is quite unique, what's in it?"
The doctor's expression suddenly became a little unnatural: "It's just an ordinary sachet, a vulgar thing, how can it be worthy of the princess's attention? Your Excellency is in a hurry to use the medicine, so I will withdraw now."
The imperial physician turned around and was about to leave, but Lu Yanluo would never let him go so easily. She shouted, "Stop!"
Following Lu Yanluo's angry shout, the imperial physician's footsteps suddenly stopped and he looked at Lu Yanluo at a loss.
Lu Yanluo was not polite either. She stood up and walked straight to the imperial physician and asked, "Where did you get this sachet from? As an imperial physician, don't you know that pregnant women cannot touch safflower? Tell me, who instructed you to harm Concubine Liang and her baby?"
Safflower promotes blood circulation and removes blood stasis. Although it is non-toxic, it is very dangerous for pregnant women. Any contact with it can easily cause miscarriage.
This imperial physician had obviously known about Concubine Liang's pregnancy long ago, or someone in the palace already knew that Concubine Liang was pregnant and was eager to get rid of the child.
The imperial physician was only sent by someone with ulterior motives, and his purpose was to get rid of the baby in Concubine Liang's belly.
As soon as Lu Yanluo finished speaking, Concubine Liang's face suddenly changed. She looked at the imperial physician in disbelief, her expression full of panic.
She knew that if her pregnancy was made public, she and her child would be in danger, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon.
The doctor froze, obviously feeling a little guilty, but he quickly adjusted his mentality and bowed to Lu Yanluo, "I don't know what the princess means, but the noble lady Liang is in labor now, and I'm going to get some medicine to boil. Please don't delay, otherwise if something happens to the noble lady and the prince, no one can bear the consequences."
The imperial physician wanted to use this to make Lu Yanluo give up, but he obviously underestimated Lu Yanluo. She just smiled and said, "The imperial physician is right." Then he picked up the prescription on the table and handed it to Xiao Ran, saying, "You go to the Imperial Hospital with the noble lady's maid. Let the judge read the prescription. If there is no problem, get the medicine. You will personally watch over the decoction and bring it to the noble lady to take."
The imperial physician's face suddenly changed, and he looked at Lu Yanluo with anger in his eyes: "What is the princess doing? Just based on a sachet, do you think I want to murder the noble lady and the prince? Today I must report to the emperor and make the decision for me!"
"What's going on? Yilan Palace is so lively today." Just when the imperial physician and Lu Yanluo were in a stalemate, a woman suddenly rushed in. Her clothes were not gorgeous, but she was dressed up carefully.
Lu Yanluo understood in her mind that the person who could enter and leave Yilan Palace at will was obviously the main concubine Xi of Yichun Palace, a concubine who was also not very favored.
Before Lu Yanluo could salute Concubine Xi, the imperial physician took the initiative and told her about how Lu Yanluo had stopped him from getting medicine for Concubine Liang, his words full of indignation.
As soon as Concubine Xi entered the room, she went straight to Concubine Liang's bed. Her eyes swept over Concubine Liang's belly from time to time, and she raised her hand and touched it slowly.
"What is the princess doing? Are you trying to delay time and let something happen to Concubine Liang's child? What is your intention!" Concubine Xi said unceremoniously: "Why don't you let the imperial physician go and get medicine for Concubine Liang!"
Lu Yanluo snorted in her heart. Let the imperial physician go? That's wishful thinking. If she came back to destroy the body and cover up all the evidence, wouldn't the matter be over?
"Empress Xi has misunderstood. This imperial physician has red flowers on his body. He is obviously being instructed by someone to murder the prince in Lady Liang's belly. We cannot let him go so easily."
"Nonsense! Concubine Liang is pregnant, but the news has not spread in the palace yet. How did the imperial physician know about it? And who could have instructed him to do so? From my perspective, you just don't want the child in Concubine Liang's belly to be born and become the Night King's rival!"
Lu Yanluo was speechless. How could an unborn baby pose any threat to Chu Xuan? It was simply far-fetched.
A young eunuch walked quickly from the doorway and said loudly, "Your Majesty has decreed that Concubine Liang is pregnant and that no noise should be made in the palace. Concubine Xuanxi and the princess should go to the Taiji Palace to see the emperor."
The situation in Yilan Palace alarmed the emperor, and Concubine Liang was pregnant with the royal heir, so it seemed that the emperor had to take care of this matter.
Lu Yanluo smiled, as if she didn't notice Concubine Xi's gloomy face. She said hello to Concubine Liang and left the hall.
