In the palace, Concubine Xian and Concubine Lian sang the same tune, as if Lu Yanluo was really guilty of a heinous crime and cruelly harmed the child in Concubine Liang's belly, and they were eager to convict her.

Lu Yanluo watched coldly at the duo who were pretending to be so serious.

[You are so hypocritical. You won't cry until you see the coffin. I wonder how long you can keep acting. ]

Chu Xuan immediately understood what he meant. It seemed that their A'Luo came prepared this time.

Concubine Xian pretended to comfort Concubine Lian, then turned to look at Lu Yanluo with eyes full of condemnation: "Princess Ye, this matter is of great importance. Even if the Night King protects you today, I will not tolerate you!"

Can't tolerate it? Lu Yanluo found it funny. From the beginning to the end, when could she tolerate herself?

"My two majesties, please forgive me for being so rude." Lu Yanluo bowed gently and looked at Concubine Lian meaningfully: "Mrs. Liang suddenly had a miscarriage. As her younger sister, shouldn't Concubine Lian care about her? Why are you wasting time with me here?"

And he even has the mind to pretend to be righteous here.

Concubine Lian was stunned by the question. She obviously didn't expect Lu Yanluo to say this suddenly. She quickly replied, "What do you know! Of course I care about my sister, but now only by catching the real murderer can I give my sister justice. So finding out the truth is the most important thing at this moment!"

"Is that so?" Lu Yanluo responded with a smile, "In that case, let's give justice to Noble Liang and investigate thoroughly."

"It's a coincidence that when I hurried into the palace today, I ran into a maid named Xiao Rui who was by the side of Concubine Lian. When she saw me, she turned around and ran away. I thought she was sneaky, so I ordered people to arrest her."

As soon as he finished speaking, two guards escorted a little palace maid into the hall.

Lu Yanluo turned around and smiled, "Yes, it's this girl. Madam Lian, take a look. Is she Xiaorui from your palace?"

Concubine Lian's legs were trembling and she began to panic. It was Xiao Rui, but how could it be such a coincidence that Xiao Rui would be met by Lu Yanluo and caught!

Without waiting for Concubine Lian to respond, Lu Yanluo suddenly spoke up: "After Xiao Rui was captured, I felt uneasy no matter how I thought about it, so I interrogated her casually. I didn't expect that I really got some information out of her. Concubine Lian, do you know what Xiao Rui said?"

Cutting flesh with a blunt knife is the most torturous. Lu Yanluo obviously knows everything, but she is just keeping you hanging and not giving you a quick death, gradually wearing out Concubine Lian's tense nerves.

"I don't know what you are talking about! Stop talking nonsense. You just grabbed a maid and wanted to bite me? You are dreaming!"

"Whether it's a dream or not, Concubine Lian will know after you take a look."

Lu Yanluo put away the smile on her face and stared at Concubine Lian coldly: "Xiao Rui admitted that she secretly left the palace to find musk for you, and she also saw you mix musk into Concubine Liang's ointment with her own eyes. Concubine Lian, do you admit this or not!"

"She's talking nonsense!" Concubine Lian pointed at Xiao Rui and said angrily, "I've always been kind to you, why are you framing me?"

"I didn't!" Xiao Rui retorted excitedly, "Empress Lian ordered me to secretly leave the palace to look for musk. I found it. How can you say I was slandering you? I always obey your orders. Please save me!"

Concubine Lian secretly hated Xiao Rui's betrayal and wanted her to shut up immediately. She was confused and said, "This slut did it herself. I don't know what kind of musk it was. Don't listen to her nonsense. She must be dissatisfied with me ordering her around so she teamed up with others to frame me. You can't trust her."

Concubine Lian pushed everything onto Xiaorui in an attempt to clear herself.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Xian quickly agreed, "That's right. There are many servants in the palace who betray their masters and seek glory. They are ungrateful and cannot be trusted. Concubine Lian and Concubine Liang are sisters from the same mother. Anyone could harm Concubine Liang, but Concubine Lian would never do that. How could she harm her sister? Don't be fooled by this lowly servant."

Lu Yanluo curled her lips and couldn't help sneering in her heart.

【Birds of a feather still know how to protect each other, how ironic. 】

Chu Xuan felt the same way. He sneered and said, "A maid is like her master. I don't believe that there would be a servant so stupid as to deliberately frame her own master. What good would it do her? Madam Lian, do you think that if you put everything on a servant, everything will be fine?"

At this time, many concubines had gathered in the palace. They had all heard that the emperor was ill, so they rushed over to show their courtesy, but they ended up watching a good show for free.

A few concubines who were watching the fun suddenly spoke up: "Your Highness, what you said reminds me of something. The day before yesterday at noon, my maid Xiaojiu said that she saw Xiaorui from Concubine Lian's palace sneaking out of the palace. When she came back, she was holding two paper bags in her hands. They looked like medicinal herbs."

"Yes!" Another concubine echoed, "At that time, we sisters said that the Liang Guiren and her sister were quietly doing great things, and maybe Lian Fei would be pregnant too."

Regardless of the mockery in the scolding crowd's tone, Concubine Lian quickly explained: "It's just that I'm not feeling well, so I sent Xiao Rui to buy medicine."

"Forget it." When the wall fell, everyone pushed it. Among the many concubines, several who had long looked down on Concubine Lian stood up at this time: "There is no shortage of medicinal herbs in the palace. Do you need to go outside the palace to buy them? Besides, why do you have to buy medicine secretly? It's obvious that you bought something that harms people secretly and dare not tell anyone."

Concubine Lian was exposed on the spot. She looked a little embarrassed, but she gritted her teeth and refused to admit it.

How to admit it? Once she admitted it, she would be doomed. She had finally come to this day.

We must never give up like this!

"Is what they said true?"

Outside the door, Liang Guiren, supported by her maidservant, slowly walked in, walked straight to Concubine Lian, and asked again: "Speak! Is what they said true? Are you going to harm me?"

Concubine Liang believed that she had always treated Concubine Lian sincerely. Since she was a child, she had always felt that her family members did not treat Concubine Lian as well as she did, so she cared about her more. However, she did not expect that she would end up raising an ungrateful person.

Concubine Lian remained silent for a long time facing Concubine Liang. After a long while, she laughed, and her laugh was extremely crazy.

"Yes! I did it, it's all me! What can you do?"

Although she had expected it, when she heard Concubine Lian admit it, Noble Lady Liang still couldn't stop the pain in her heart.

"Why...why? I'm your biological sister!"

"So what if she's my biological sister." Concubine Lian taunted, "The family only recognizes you as the eldest daughter. When will there be a place for me! I'm jealous of you, so I want to kill your child. How can you have what I don't have!"
