Tai Chi Hall.

The emperor has been in good health in recent days and is able to get up. When Lu Yanluo entered the room, the emperor was sitting behind his desk with a frown on his face, dealing with memorials.

He still disliked Lu Yanluo. He just raised his head and glanced at the three people who came in, then lowered his head again to deal with government affairs. He just asked: "The servants of Yilan Palace came to report that Concubine Liang is pregnant. What's wrong with you three? Why are you arguing in Yilan Palace?"

After a few words, the emperor started coughing violently again. The eunuch beside him hurriedly handed him tea. Lu Yanluo thought secretly: Even if Concubine Xian was forced to stop poisoning the Nanli grass, the damage to the emperor's body is still irreversible. I'm afraid that at this moment, the emperor is just forcing himself to stay awake.

Before Lu Yanluo could say anything, Concubine Xi had already taken the initiative and complained to Lu Yanluo: "Your Majesty, Concubine Liang's pregnancy is unstable and she urgently needs medicine to save her life. But the princess is being unreasonable and insists on stopping the imperial physician and not letting him go back to get the medicine. In my opinion, Princess Ye obviously has ulterior motives and intends to murder the heir to the throne!"

"Your Majesty, you are wrong." Lu Yanluo spoke slowly, with an ambiguous look in her eyes: "There is indeed someone who intends to murder the heir to the throne, but this person is not really yours. The imperial physician who treated Lady Liang is a master of gynecology at the Imperial Hospital, but he is wearing a sachet filled with red flowers. I would like to ask, what is his intention?"

"Your Majesty, you can summon other imperial doctors to test whether the sachet on Imperial Doctor Wang contains red flowers that can cause miscarriage."

The Imperial Physician Wang who treated Concubine Liang was a specialist in gynecology and pediatric diseases. When concubines in the palace were pregnant, except for some of those with high positions who had special imperial physicians to treat them, most of the others were treated by Imperial Physician Wang.

In this case, it is very intriguing that Doctor Wang was wearing red flowers that can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.

Upon hearing this, Doctor Wang fell to his knees and cried out, "Your Majesty, I am innocent! This sachet is not mine. I just wore it casually because it looked exquisite. I didn't know there were safflowers inside. When I went to see Lady Liang, the servants only said that she had unbearable abdominal pain and didn't tell me that she was pregnant. How could I have foreseen the future and prepared safflowers in advance to harm Lady Liang!"

Concubine Liang was worried that someone would harm her, so she did not announce her pregnancy. Imperial Physician Wang simply did not know anything about the matter.

Lu Yanluo sneered, pointed at the sachet on Doctor Wang and said, "Is this sachet just casually hung around Doctor Wang's waist? But in my opinion, this sachet has been hanging on Doctor Wang for at least two days, which is why you smell like safflower even when you walk."

"I have a basic understanding of medicine and can smell it. Doctor Wang has been in the Imperial Hospital for so many years, can he not even distinguish the smell of safflower?"

With every word Lu Yanluo spoke, Doctor Wang's expression became more and more panicked, and even his hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

"As for you saying that you didn't know about Concubine Liang's pregnancy beforehand, that's easy to explain. After all, in this harem, what can be considered a real secret? Don't you agree, Concubine Xi?"

Concubine Xi gritted her teeth secretly, feeling annoyed in her heart, but she did not dare to act presumptuously anymore, because it was obvious that the emperor had believed Lu Yanluo's words.

Under the emperor's obscure gaze, Doctor Wang was speechless and collapsed to the ground, admitting that he had intended to murder Concubine Liang.

The emperor saw this and threw the cup at him, angrily saying, "Who ordered you to do this? Tell me!"

Doctor Wang's face was as pale as paper, and his body was shaking like a sieve. "No one ordered me to do this. It was all my idea. I just couldn't stand Concubine Liang, so I took action. It had nothing to do with others..."

Until this moment, Doctor Wang had always clenched his teeth and refused to give out the person behind the scenes. Lu Yanluo could guess that Doctor Wang might have some leverage in the hands of that person, preventing him from speaking.

At this point, Imperial Physician Wang pleaded guilty, and Concubine Liang was safe, so no matter how angry the emperor was, he had to let it go.

When Lu Yanluo returned to Yilan Palace again, Concubine Liang was fine, but she was still frightened by what happened before. If Lu Yanluo had not been there, she was afraid that the child would have disappeared for no reason. Just thinking about it was enough to terrify her.

“Princess, I am so grateful to have you here today, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.” Concubine Liang held Lu Yanluo’s hand tightly, crying, “There are too many sinister things in this harem, and I can’t hide from them even if I want to.”

Lu Yanluo patted Concubine Liang soothingly: "Your Majesty has already known that you are pregnant. He will definitely take good care of you and the baby in your belly. Don't worry, Concubine Liang."

Unexpectedly, Lian Guiren shook her head and pleaded, "I don't trust anyone in the palace, including Your Majesty. Only you, Princess, can you come to the palace often to accompany me? I know this request is a bit presumptuous, but I really have no other choice. I always feel like there are a hundred pairs of eyes staring at me in the harem, leaving me nowhere to escape..."

Lady Liang has been nervous in recent days, and after what happened today, she is on the verge of collapse.

Lu Yanluo said helplessly: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency should know that things are different now. I need to go back and discuss this matter with the prince, so I can't give you an answer right away."

Given the current situation, if Lu Yanluo frequently goes in and out of the harem, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.

Concubine Liang understood it in her heart, but did not force it. She forced a smile and sent someone to send Lu Yanluo out.

When they returned to the Night Palace, Chu Xuan was already waiting in Yunya Garden. Seeing that Lu Yanluo was not in a good mood, he asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with that noble lady Liang?"

Lu Yanluo shook her head, sat down beside Chu Xuan somewhat tiredly, sighed, and recounted the story of Concubine Liang to Chu Xuan.

"She wanted me to come to the palace to accompany her from time to time, but under the current circumstances, I did not agree on the spot."

"But you want to go." Chu Xuan saw through her thoughts at a glance, with disapproval on his face: "A Luo, we are not Bodhisattvas who love the world and can't grant every request. There are all kinds of people in the palace. I don't want you to get involved in this muddy water. It's too dangerous for you."

Lu Yanluo understood Chu Xuan’s concerns, but she really couldn’t bear to let Concubine Liang be harmed by those ruthless demons in the palace.

"Mom." Chu Yuan, who had been around Lu Yanluo, suddenly touched his mother's clothes and asked curiously, "Where did you go today, Mom? What is this?"

Lu Yanluo looked suspiciously in the direction Chu Yuan pointed. She was wearing a smoky green dress today, and if you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to notice that there was a layer of powdery substance on her shoulders.

Lu Yanluo quickly separated the little hand that Chu Yuan stretched out and carefully scraped off the powder.
