In the study, Lu Yanluo and Chu Xuan sat opposite each other, both of them looking somewhat solemn.

The powder on Lu Yanluo's body is a poison. If one is contaminated with it for a long time, the body will become weaker and weaker, and eventually the organs will fail and the person will die.

Needless to say, this powder must have been contaminated from Yilan Palace today, but what is worth investigating is who placed the poison in Yilan Palace.

After a long silence, Lu Yanluo slowly spoke with a cold tone: "Liang Guiren had just had an accident today, and Xi Fei came to watch the fun. The two of them live in Yichun Palace together, so this incident must have something to do with Xi Fei."

"Then what do you want to do? Do you really want to take Concubine Liang under your wing?" Chu Xuan seemed to have some sense.

Although she didn't want Chu Xuan to worry about her, Lu Yanluo really couldn't just stand by and watch him die, so she finally nodded reluctantly.

Then, he took Chu Xuan's hand and assured her in a very sensible manner: "Don't worry, I promise to be very careful and never put myself in danger. If I can't bear it anymore, I will run! Okay?"

Chu Xuan's tense face was defeated by Lu Yanluo's gentle attack. He held her in his arms helplessly: "Why are you running? If you can't bear it, I'm your husband. I'm here, so you can boldly do what you want."

"Okay!" Lu Yanluo buried herself deeply in Chu Xuan's arms, unable to hide the smile on her lips.

The next morning, Lu Yanluo handed in a greeting card to Yilan Palace. Before noon, news came from the palace that Concubine Liang invited Princess Ye to enter the palace.

Lu Yanluo brought a lot of medicinal herbs for nourishing the pregnancy into the palace. When she passed by Fenghua Palace, she met Concubine Xi who had just come out of Fenghua Palace and was about to go back.

When Concubine Xi saw Lu Yanluo, she immediately came over with a bad look on her face. She glanced at what Xiaoran was holding and said sarcastically, "Princess Ye, are you in a hurry to please Concubine Liang? Seeing how attentive you are, someone who doesn't know would think that the person living in Yilan Palace is the late Concubine Yun!"

Lu Yanluo glanced at Xi Fei indifferently. Not wanting to engage in a meaningless argument with her, she walked around her and was about to leave.

"Stop!" Xi Fei shouted sharply, "This is the only rule in the Night Palace! You dare not greet me when you see me, do you take me seriously? Today, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of the Night King, a concubine who has no sense of propriety and does not observe etiquette!"

As soon as Xi Fei finished speaking, the two maids behind her came forward, one on the left and one on the right, trying to catch Lu Yanluo.

How could Lu Yanluo just sit there and wait for death? She raised her hand to separate the two of them and said coldly, "With just them, Lady Xifei wants to lynch me? I'm afraid you will be disappointed."

Lu Yanluo grabbed the hands of the two maids and pushed them hard onto Xifei. The three of them fell into a ball.

The noise outside quickly alarmed the people inside. Concubine Xian was supported by someone and walked out. Seeing Concubine Xi's clothes were disheveled and she had just gotten up from the ground, she hurriedly walked over to her and said, "What happened? Concubine Xi, didn't you go back? What is Concubine Ye doing here?"

Lu Yanluo didn't say anything, but just stared at Xi Fei with a half smile.

Concubine Xi threw away the two maids and pointed at Lu Yanluo fiercely: "She has no respect for her elders. When she saw me, she not only did not greet me, but also started fighting with me. This is really lawless. Please, Your Majesty, help me!"

Concubine Xian looked at Lu Yanluo impatiently, wishing she could drag her out and chop her into pieces.

"Princess Ye is getting more and more arrogant. It's fine that she's disrespectful to me, but she's so unreasonable to Concubine Xi. What is Princess Ye going to do? King Ye hasn't even ascended the throne yet. It's too early for Princess Ye to be so arrogant! Someone, ask Princess Ye to kneel by the corridor for two full hours. You can leave only when you admit your mistake!"

Lu Yanluo didn't accept the punishment after hearing this. Instead, she smiled and said, "Your Majesty, forget it. Although the Imperial Concubine is now in charge of the harem, I am not a concubine in the harem, but a princess with a rank. If I make a mistake, Your Majesty will punish me. At the very least, she has to be the Empress of the Central Palace. The Imperial Concubine really doesn't have the qualifications to punish me for the time being."

"Besides, when we first met, Her Majesty Xi Fei acted like she was second only to me and above everyone else. This really frightened me and I forgot to greet her for a moment. But when Her Majesty Xi Fei ascends to the throne, I will be the first one to bow down to her."

Become the queen? Be the only one who is in power? Concubine Xian looked at Concubine Xi with an ambiguous expression, not knowing when this unpopular Concubine Xi had the ambition to become the queen.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Xi felt that something was wrong. She no longer cared about getting entangled with Lu Yanluo and hurried to Concubine Xian to show her loyalty.

Lu Yanluo curled her lips, very satisfied with herself for provoking the internal conflict between the two of them. She walked around the two of them and left, heading straight for Concubine Liang's bedroom.

Because Concubine Liang is pregnant, the guards in Yilan Palace are much stricter than yesterday. It seems that the Emperor is not indifferent to the child in Concubine Liang's belly.

Lu Yanluo looked around as she walked inside. Unexpectedly, she caught a glimpse of a little palace maid hiding stealthily at a nearby rockery, looking towards her.

The maid seemed to see that Lu Yanluo had discovered her and turned to run away. Lu Yanluo acted decisively and shouted, "There's an assassin! Capture that maid!"

Upon hearing this, the guard who was on duty nearby quickly chased in the direction Lu Yanluo pointed, and soon captured the suspicious palace maid.

Lu Yanluo asked with a cold face, "Who are you? Why are you sneaking around outside Yilan Palace? What are you trying to find out?"

The palace maid's face was pale, her teeth were clenched, and she didn't say a word.

Seeing this, Lu Yanluo did not feel embarrassed. She raised her hand and handed the maid to the guards: "This person is spying outside the bedroom of Concubine Liang. Someone must have instructed him. Take him back..."

Before Lu Yanluo could finish her words, the little palace maid suddenly exerted force, broke free from the guards' shackles unexpectedly, and slammed her head against the wall.

By the time everyone reacted, the person was already dead.

Lu Yanluo frowned, walked closer and took off the badge on the palace maid.

There was a word "moon" engraved on the waist badge. Moon? Yuehua Palace?

Who is in Yuehua Palace? It is Concubine Lian.

Just as Lu Yanluo was thinking, footsteps were heard in the hall. It was Concubine Liang who was startled by the noise just now.

Just as Concubine Liang was about to push the door open and walk out, Lu Yanluo promptly had the body carried away, then walked in to welcome Concubine Liang back.

Concubine Liang was already overthinking. If she knew what happened today, she would probably be like a frightened bird and unable to sleep at night.

During the casual chat, Lu Yanluo asked casually, "Are Concubine Lian of Fenghua Palace and the noble lady familiar with each other?"

Lady Liang smiled and replied without thinking: "That's my sister. Since entering the palace, we have always had a good relationship, but neither of us sisters has ever competed for favor, so we have both stayed in the palace in a tepid manner."
