Lu Yanluo had a hunch that Concubine Lian was not as simple as she seemed, but everything was just her guess and there was no substantial evidence.

"The most important thing for you right now is to take good care of your pregnancy and relax. Don't worry about anything else for now." Lu Yanluo gave a brief explanation and left Yilan Palace.

Judging from Concubine Liang's attitude towards Concubine Lian, I'm afraid that deep down she still regards Concubine Lian as her good sister. If I tell her now that Concubine Lian might want to harm her, I'm afraid she will never believe it.

"Come here." After leaving the palace gate, Lu Yanluo called the secret guards: "Privately contact the secret agents in the palace and ask them to secretly investigate Concubine Lian to see who she associates with privately. Remember, don't alert the enemy."

Chu Xuan did not hide the fact that he had planted secret agents in the palace from Lu Yanluo. The situation was turbulent and many things and many people had to be guarded against. The harem also involved the previous dynasty, so Chu Xuan took the opportunity to plant some people in the palace to be prepared.

All the way back to the palace, before Lu Yanluo could catch her breath, the housekeeper came up to her and said, "Princess, Wen Heng, the daughter of Wen Guangquan, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, sent you an invitation this morning, inviting you to come to the mansion to taste cakes. You were not here, and the gatekeeper was undecided, so he took the invitation. Look at this..."

"It's okay, give it to me." Lu Yanluo raised her hand to take the invitation, feeling strange. Wen Guangquan, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue? Why did her daughter invite her?

The emperor's health has improved, and court officials are now busy distancing themselves from Chu Xuan and Chu Han, for fear that they will be labeled traitors by the emperor who has just recovered from a long illness.

This Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is so stubborn that he can let his daughter invite Princess Ye to his house for a chat. It's really interesting.

Lu Yanluo shook her head helplessly, lamenting that she was destined to be a hard worker. She took the invitation, got on the carriage for the second time, and left the mansion.

The capital city is divided into four parts with Zhuque Street and Xuanwu Street as the central axis. The residence of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is in the west city. It is an official residence left over from the previous dynasty and is very magnificent.

Lu Yanluo stood at the gate and handed the invitation to the doorman. After a while, a little girl pushed open the heavy door, walked out quickly, and respectfully welcomed Lu Yanluo in.

Entering from the gate and walking around the screen wall, the view inside the mansion suddenly opens up, with pavilions, towers, carved beams and painted buildings, which is very pleasing to the eye.

The little girl walked in front without looking around, brought Lu Yanluo to the pavilion in the middle of the lake, and then retreated respectfully.

The pavilion in the middle of the lake was surrounded by white gauze, and as the breeze blew by, a woman's figure appeared vaguely.

Lu Yanluo understood in her mind that this must be the eldest daughter of the Wen family, Wen Heng, whom she was going to meet today.

"The princess is here, please take a seat." A pleasant female voice came from the pavilion. Wen Heng stood up, raised his hand and slowly lifted the white veil, and smiled at Lu Yanluo. She had a round and smooth face and a pretty appearance, and was a great beauty.

Lu Yanluo smiled back and walked into the pavilion: "Hello, Miss Wen."

Wen Heng was very polite and courteous. He picked up the warm teapot and poured tea for Lu Yanluo in a proper manner.

"Princess, you must be wondering why I would suddenly invite you to my house to have a chat when we are strangers."

Lu Yanluo looked at the teacup in front of her and felt a little amused. This little girl was too impatient.

"Miss Wen, if you have something to say, please feel free to tell me."

Wen Heng shook his head, lowered his head and smiled: "How is the Night King these days? Is he still worried about the things in the court?"

Lu Yanluo noticed the unnatural look on Wen Heng's face when he mentioned Chu Xuan, and she secretly had a guess in her mind.

"The prince has been doing well recently. As for the affairs of the court, the prince is always afraid that I will worry, so he only reports good news and not bad news. I am not very clear about the situation."

Wen Heng suddenly looked at Lu Yanluo with a strange look in his eyes, and said, "I heard that the prince is very concerned about the princess. I really envy the relationship between you two."

Lu Yanluo pretended to be shy, her eyes full of tenderness: "It is true that the prince treats me very well, but Miss Wen is beautiful and will definitely find a husband of her dreams in the future. There is no need to envy others."

She deliberately bit Ruyi Langjun very hard and secretly observed Wen Heng's facial expression. Sure enough, Wen Heng's indifference just now began to crack.

Lu Yanluo immediately understood that inviting her here today was probably Wen Heng’s own idea, and Wen Guangquan was either not aware of it or was just watching from the sidelines.

Wen Heng obviously came for Chu Xuan. It seems that Chu Xuan's romantic interests are unstoppable.

Looking at Lu Yanluo's appearance, Wen Heng knew that Chu Xuan must have been loving this woman in his hands, which made her extremely uncomfortable. Finally, she couldn't help but spoke, her voice trembling unconsciously.

"I know what the prince has been planning. I can help him achieve his long-cherished wish and ascend to the highest throne. It all depends on whether the princess is willing to agree to my conditions."

Lu Yanluo noticed Wen Heng's nervousness, but asked expressionlessly, "What are the conditions?"

"I want a status." Wen Heng finally showed her strong side: "I want a status that allows me to stay with the prince legitimately. Are you willing to give it to me, princess?"

The wind stopped, and everything seemed to be still. After a long while, Lu Yanluo smiled, stood up and looked at Wen Heng. She looked like she was willing to follow his advice, and slowly approached Wen Heng, saying word by word, "Of course, I don't want to."

Lu Yanluo doesn’t think she is stupid, but she doesn’t know why Wen Heng, who looks quite smart, would ask such a stupid question?

Wen Heng was immediately furious, slapped the table, and said angrily: "Princess, you are too selfish to be so arbitrary. You know who my father is. I am fully capable of helping the prince to ascend to the top, but you ruined the prince's plan because of your jealousy!"

"First of all, if a man wants to do something, he must marry a woman to achieve his goal, so it's better not to do it." Lu Yanluo looked at Wen Heng expressionlessly: "Secondly, Chu Xuan is a man of both literary and military skills. I don't think he needs anyone's help. Finally... Miss Wen, forgive me for being so presumptuous, do your parents know that you want to be my prince's concubine?"

Facing Wen Heng's angry and unwilling gaze, Lu Yanluo turned around and left in a domineering manner.

All the way back to the Night Prince's Mansion, she ran into Chu Xuan who had just returned. Lu Yanluo was a little angry, but asked casually, "What is your relationship with Wen Guangquan, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue?"

"What do you mean?" Chu Xuan asked back, "It's just a normal relationship between colleagues. Okay, let's not talk about this. I'm hungry. Let's eat."

Lu Yanluo had a feeling that Chu Xuan's answer was a bit perfunctory, so after thinking about it, she decided to let it go for the time being and not delve into it further.

Unexpectedly, the next day, rumors about Princess Ye's jealousy spread throughout the capital.

At the morning court, all the ministers changed their usual solemn expressions and looked at Chu Xuan with sympathy.

Some people even took the opportunity to send his daughter to Prince Ye's Palace, but they were all decisively rejected by Chu Xuan.
