In order to personally take care of the affairs of Haoliang Guiren and her child, Lu Yanluo asked someone to bring the midwife and went to Taiji Hall in person.

In the Taiji Hall, the emperor sat on his high seat and had fun with his ministers, who sat in groups of three or four, toasting each other.

As Lu Yanluo came in, the ministers who were talking in the hall shut up at the same time.

The emperor looked unhappy when he saw this. He glanced at Chu Xuan with an ambiguous look before looking at Lu Yanluo and asking, "What are you doing? Who is tied up behind you?"

Lu Yanluo said in a calm and composed voice, "Your Majesty, Concubine Liang has just given birth. Both mother and child are doing well. Congratulations to Your Majesty on the birth of your son."

The emperor was delighted to hear this, and even felt that Lu Yanluo was very pleasing to the eye: "Great! Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, and the whole family is reunited. It seems that my prince wants to reunite with me, his father. Reward! Concubine Liang gave birth to a son for me, and her contribution is great. She is now named Concubine Liang!"

The ministers and relatives in the hall immediately echoed and congratulated the emperor.

[It sounds nice, but did you know your son almost died? You dog emperor.]

Chu Xuan sat in his seat, looking at Lu Yanluo's back, and frowned unconsciously.

In this excited atmosphere, Lu Yanluo spoke again at an inopportune time: "Your Majesty, regarding the birth of Lady Liang, I have something to report."

"The person tied behind me is the midwife who was prepared for Lady Liang. Unexpectedly, in the delivery room, this person actually hid arsenic in her arms, intending to take the opportunity to kill Lady Liang and the prince."

"Fortunately, it was discovered in advance, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

The emperor looked at the tied-up midwife angrily and shouted, "Why keep such a villain around? Drag her away and chop her in half!"

"Wait." Lu Yanluo stopped her and said, "This midwife has no grudge against Madam Liang Guiren, so she shouldn't risk her life to harm Madam Liang. In my opinion, there must be someone behind this person, so I hope Your Majesty will investigate this person strictly."

The emperor nodded, pointed at the midwife and asked, "Tell me, who sent you here? If you hand over the person behind the scenes, I can really spare your life."

The midwife was so frightened that she turned pale and just shook her head.

Lu Yanluo leaned over and whispered, "If you want to sacrifice your life for your master, then don't say anything. But you have to think clearly. If you die, will your master remember you? Why worry about it?"

The midwife looked up at Lu Yanluo nervously. Yes, she didn’t want to die yet…

After a long while, the midwife slowly raised her head and looked at Concubine Xian who was beside the emperor. She said, "The person who ordered me to do this was... Concubine Xian. She told me to poison Lady Liang and the child while she was delivering the baby."

Concubine Xian immediately jumped up and said angrily, "Nonsense! I don't even know who you are, how can I order you around! I think someone wants to frame me! Just because they found arsenic, they accuse me of it. What a joke! Come on, search her thoroughly from inside to outside. I want to see what else you can find."

The guards followed the instructions and took off the midwife's outer garment, leaving only her inner garment for the sake of respectability for those present.

Apart from that, everything was searched out and thrown on the ground.

At this moment, Concubine Xian feigned surprise and pointed to a bracelet on the ground and said, "This bracelet looks familiar to me. It seems to be the one I gave to Concubine Xi a few days ago."

When Concubine Xi heard this, she felt something was wrong. Concubine Xian was trying to pass the blame on to her, so she hurriedly denied and apologized, "No, my bracelet has been missing for a long time. Someone is trying to frame me."

Concubine Xian was relentless: "You said I was framing you? But this bracelet is indeed yours, and you live with Concubine Liang in Yichun Palace, and it has long been rumored that you have a bad relationship. You have the best reason and the most convenience to do this!"

Concubine Xian tried every possible means to shift the blame to others in order to protect herself.

Concubine Xi glared at her, she knew that Concubine Xian had bad intentions, but she didn't expect her to be so cruel.

Although Lu Yanluo disliked Concubine Xi, she couldn't let Concubine Xian shirk the blame: "Madam Xi, do you still remember when you lost this bracelet?"

Concubine Xi quickly calmed down and recalled what Lu Yanluo said: "I have only seen this bracelet once, when Concubine Xian gave it to me. I have never seen it again since then. It should have been half a month ago."

Lu Yanluo sneered: "Half a month ago, when Lady Liang Guiren was appointing a midwife, this midwife was found by Concubine Xian. After that, she has been living in Yilan Palace and has never seen outsiders. Lady Xi Guiren may not even have seen anyone. Who bought her from? I am afraid someone wants to use this bracelet to divert trouble."

"And the only people who had seen the midwife in advance and knew who she was were Concubine Liang Guiren and Concubine Xian Guifei."

Lu Yanluo said it couldn't be clearer. It was obvious who the mastermind behind the scenes was. It couldn't be that Concubine Liang wanted to harm herself.

The emperor looked at Concubine Xian, who looked obviously flustered, with a sullen face and full of impatience: "Well, there is no need to mention this matter anymore. This midwife has evil intentions. Who knows if she is deliberately biting me? Just drag her out and beat her to death to set an example!"

"As for Concubine Liang, giving birth was not easy, and she was frightened. I cannot bear it, so I will directly promote her from Concubine to Concubine. From now on, she will be Concubine Liang."

The emperor's attitude of favoring Concubine Xian was too obvious, and Concubine Liang could only hold her nose and let it go, but she hated Concubine Xian to death.

Lu Yanluo was extremely disdainful of this.

[Liang Guifei? The dog emperor is afraid that others don't know that he is protecting Xian Guifei. He is so stupid. ]

It is easy to imagine that the emperor must have been grateful to Concubine Xian for her contribution in finding a miracle doctor for him, so he had no choice but to suppress the matter. It is really ironic that he actually repays the favor.

The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet ended in a bad mood and ended hastily. Concubine Xian thought she had escaped a disaster and was secretly happy.

But Lu Yanluo disagreed. On the way back home, Lu Yanluo said, "The virtuous concubine is too smart for her own good. I'm afraid that from now on, His Majesty will no longer respect her. She has really ruined her good cards."

Chu Xuan nodded: "Your Majesty dislikes such uncontrollable people the most. Concubine Xian has used up the last bit of kindness that Your Majesty had for her."

Everyone present today could see that the emperor's expression when he left was extremely ugly. I'm afraid the emperor was also very upset about this matter.

In Fenghua Palace, Chu Han said angrily: "Why is mother so confused? Concubine Liang's child has just been born and poses no threat to me. Why would mother take the risk to get rid of him? It will only make father unhappy!"

In front of Chu Han, Concubine Xian has always been strong, but today she seemed a little weak. She never thought that something so perfect could go wrong.

Chu Han sighed: "Mother, please behave yourself today and don't act rashly."
