A little mint is added to the cooling cream, and a faint mint scent floats in the air.

But a very faint scent of musk hidden in the mint scent caught Lu Yanluo's attention.

"Where is the cooling ointment that I brought? Could you show it to me?"

Lu Yanluo suddenly asked to see the ointment. Concubine Lian felt a bad feeling in her heart and her hands hidden in her sleeves unconsciously tightened.

Then she kept comforting herself in her heart, no, what she had done to the ointment was extremely secret, how could Lu Yanluo know.

Lady Liang was unaware of her sister's panic, and nervously took out the cooling cream from her bosom and handed it to Lu Yanluo: "Is there something wrong with the cooling cream?"

Lu Yanluo raised her hand to take it, and then looked at Concubine Lian, and then smiled with an ambiguous meaning: "Don't be afraid, my dear, it's just that when I smelled the mint fragrance, I suddenly remembered that some mint was added to this cooling paste. The smell is a bit pungent, but it masks the smell of some other things. I'm afraid that you won't be used to it."

Lady Liang heaved a sigh of relief and said with satisfaction: "This mint smells refreshing and refreshing, but I don't feel anything. You are thoughtful."

Liang Guiren had no doubts, but Concubine Lian was already guilty, and she felt that Lu Yanluo had something else in mind. What did she mean by hiding the truth about other things? Could it be...

"What do you think of this, Empress Lian? Do you like it?" Seeing Lu Yanluo's meaningful eyes, Empress Lian was flustered. She stood up abruptly and said a few perfunctory words.

"I feel it's okay. It's noon now and I suddenly feel sleepy. I'll leave first. Sister, have a good rest." After saying this, he turned around and left in a hurry.

Even the noble lady looked at Concubine Lian's back and inexplicably saw a hint of escape in her.

She was a suspicious person to begin with. Recalling the conversation between Lu Yanluo and Concubine Lian, she intuitively felt that there must be something wrong between the two of them.

Concubine Liang frowned and looked at Lu Yanluo: "You and Concubine Lian...what's going on between you? Is there something wrong with this cooling ointment?"

Although the truth was too cruel, Lu Yanluo had to tell it. Picking up the cooling ointment on the table again, Lu Yanluo told the truth with a serious expression.

"There is something else in this cooling ointment, something that will kill the baby in your womb - musk!"

"Musk... Musk? How could it be?" Lady Liang was shocked and couldn't believe it: "This cooling ointment is yours..."

Lady Liang suddenly understood the unspoken meaning in Lu Yanluo's words.

The cooling ointment was indeed made by Lu Yanluo, but it was delivered to her personally by her younger sister, Concubine Lian.

Lu Yanluo took Concubine Liang's pulse and frowned unconsciously.

Concubine Liang was already overly worried, and with the safflower last time and the musk this time, although the child's life was not immediately lost, there were obvious signs of an abnormal fetal position.

"What's the matter?" Concubine Liang's face turned pale and she stared at Lu Yanluo's expression nervously.

"The fetus is in an abnormal position. I can only do my best to treat you, Your Excellency." Lu Yanluo felt a little reluctant.

"Today, the incident with Mrs. Hu happened in the mansion. I was too busy to deal with it. Just now, Concubine Lian came to Prince Ye's mansion, and I gave her the cooling ointment. I didn't expect... I thought she was your sister, and at least she would take into account the blood relationship and would not harm you secretly. It seems that I was careless."

Lady Liang shook her head slowly and said softly, "No, it definitely can't be her. I'm her biological sister, how could she possibly harm me?"

Ever since she became pregnant, Lady Liang has been very careful in everything she does, fearing that she might be tricked by others.

In this huge harem, if there is anyone she can completely trust, it is only her own sister.

After all, they were born of the same mother, and Concubine Liang could not believe that Concubine Lian would harm her.

How could Lu Yanluo not understand, but there are countless sinister things in the world, and the inner court of the imperial palace is even more dangerous. It can only be said that human hearts are fickle and the world is unpredictable.

"I personally gave this bottle of cooling ointment to Concubine Lian. No one else knew about it except her. I really can't think of anyone who could add musk into it without anyone noticing."

Lu Yanluo sighed, raised her hand and patted Concubine Liang in a soothing manner: "I know it is difficult for you to accept this truth for a while, but for the sake of the child in your belly, some things have to be prevented. Please cooperate with me, I will give you justice."

Concubine Liang was a little dazed. She looked at Lu Yanluo with a distracted gaze. After a long while, she mechanically nodded and agreed.

If it is finally discovered that Concubine Lian did it, then she really doesn't know if there is anyone in this world who can be trusted.

Night Palace.

It has been more than an hour since Lu Yanluo returned from the palace, and she has been in a daze in the study for more than an hour.

Chu Chen came in from outside the courtyard, and before he entered the study, he heard Lu Yanluo's complicated thoughts.

[This time, I will find out what this fox is about, and see how she can pretend! ]

[But Concubine Liang is so pitiful. She has no one to rely on in the palace. In the end, even her own sister betrayed her. What should she do? It's so sad! ]

Chu Xuan stood outside the door and secretly felt amused. He thought it was her who went to help Concubine Liang before, but now she was the one who was going crazy here. He really felt like he had found a treasure.

"Are you worried about Concubine Liang?" Chu Xuan walked in and decided to rescue the poor girl himself.

Lu Yanluo forced herself to cheer up and glanced at Chu Xuan: "Don't mention it. Today I told Concubine Liang that I would find out the truth, but now I can't bear it. Now my mind is full of Concubine Liang's distraught face."

Chu Xuan walked closer, hugged the person and patted him: "But you'll be kept in the dark your whole life, and in the end you may not even know how you died. Do you think this is a good thing, A'Luo?"

Of course it was not good. Lu Yanluo rested her head on Chu Xuan’s shoulder and slowly closed her eyes.

On the second day, when the emperor was discussing state affairs with a group of ministers, a young eunuch hurried out of Yilan Palace and went straight to Taiji Palace.

The young eunuch walked quickly to the emperor, leaned over and whispered, "The baby in Lady Liang's belly is gone!"

"What!" The emperor was shocked. He did not attend the morning court, stood up and went back to the inner hall.

"How could the child be gone? He was fine before!"

The emperor was furious. This child came when he was seriously ill. He had a special meaning to him, so he secretly sent people to keep an eye on Yilan Palace.

Unexpectedly, the child was not saved in the end.

The young eunuch hurriedly replied, "It is said that Lady Liang has been worrying too much, and the depression in her chest caused the fetus to be unstable, so the child could not be saved."

The emperor let out a deep breath: "Investigate, investigate for me! Why do you worry too much when there is nothing wrong? Why do you feel so depressed!"
