The person who was sent to Luanfeng Mountain did not return for a long time and there was no news. The emperor suspected that he was killed secretly, so he secretly sent out a group of secret guards.

But after a few days, there was still no news, as if the person had disappeared into the sea.

At the same time, a rumor suddenly spread among the people, saying that the emperor had listened to slander and murdered loyal ministers, which had reached the point where heaven was enraged, people were resented, and even ghosts and gods were outraged.

Even the ghosts and gods couldn't stand it and came to punish him.

"Nonsense! A bunch of unruly people in the market have been bewitched and dared to fabricate stories about me!" The emperor was furious and overturned the desk in front of him.

The young eunuchs were all terrified and knelt on the ground, trying to reduce their presence.

Zhang Xuanlin lowered his head and stood in front of the emperor in silence.

"Someone must have spread the rumors on purpose. Zhang Xuanlin, I'll leave this matter to you. You must find out who is behind this. I'll make sure he dies without a burial place!"

"Yes, I obey your command." Zhang Xuanlin remained calm, bowed and retreated.

He had no interest in standing there and enjoying the shouting of an old man.

Investigate? How? Although he did not do this, he did contribute to it. In his eyes, the emperor was no different from a clown.

Soon, these days will be over, and by then he will make the dog emperor penniless, and then send him to the underground to be buried with more than a hundred people from the Zhang family!

A few days later, several great Yuan officials in the court were imprisoned one after another, including Zhang Fude, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture.

The emperor looked at the confessions presented to him and personally approved the execution of several people.

He is the emperor, the most supreme person, and he will never allow anyone to covet his position.

When the news reached Night King's Mansion, Lu Yanluo was very surprised.

She had people spread the rumors about the emperor among the people in the market. Her intention was only to prevent the emperor from sending people to Luanfeng Mountain, but she didn't know it would lead to such a result in the end.

Lu Yanluo asked casually: "What role did Zhang Xuanlin play in this matter?"

They have now basically figured out Zhang Xuanlin's background, including the purpose of his current actions. The reason they chose to wait and see is simply because of the emperor's suspicion.

Chu Xuan snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Anyway, he is not a good person. Adding fuel to the fire is a trick that those civil officials often use."

As the two were talking, a servant knocked on the door and reported softly, "My Lord, Princess, the Imperial Noble Consort in the palace has sent someone to summon you to the palace."

Lu Yanluo looked at Chu Xuan, then stood up and opened the door: "Ask the visitor to wait for a moment, I will enter the palace immediately."

I don't know what the Imperial Concubine is doing, but I guess something must have happened in the palace, otherwise she wouldn't have sent someone over so anxiously.

Lu Yanluo changed her clothes and followed the people from the palace.

In Guanju Palace, the Imperial Concubine was fidgeting in the hall with an impatient look on her face. Seeing Lu Yanluo finally coming, she hurriedly waved away the palace maids around her and pulled her into the inner hall.

"What happened? Why is your Highness so panicked?"

The Imperial Concubine whispered, "Something happened. The harem has been restless recently, and people's hearts are unsettled. I have been keeping an eye on it privately, but I didn't expect to find out that someone was secretly monitoring Guanju Palace. The porridge sent to the Seventh Prince this morning was poisoned! Fortunately, I have been careful in everything I do recently, otherwise..."

The Imperial Concubine held Lu Yanluo's hand with red eyes and was filled with fear. If she had not used a silver needle to detect it in advance, she and her son would probably have died by now.

Lu Yanluo was also frightened. In this huge harem, the Imperial Concubine was the most important master besides the Emperor. The Seventh Prince was also highly valued by the Emperor. Who could get a hand into the Guanju Palace?

"Don't panic, madam. Now that they have discovered it, you don't have to worry about them secretly tampering with it. I will immediately send people to secretly investigate the palace and Guanju Palace. Who has been through the porridge for the Seventh Prince? Without exception, lock them all up for questioning. I don't believe that the person behind this will not reveal anything."

"Okay, I'll send someone to investigate right away!" After seeing Lu Yanluo, the Imperial Concubine felt more confident. She quickly sent people to arrest several people who might have come into contact with the porridge in the morning and interrogated them strictly.

Lu Yanluo hurriedly left the palace and told Chu Xuan about someone's conspiracy against the Seventh Prince. She then sent people to investigate the matter secretly.

If you don’t check, you won’t know. If you check, another matter will be involved.

This matter has to start from the time when the Emperor was so angry with the King of Qi that he vomited blood and fainted.

The emperor's health has been deteriorating since he vomited blood, which reminded him of the last time he was poisoned and almost died.

However, the imperial physician confirmed that the emperor was just angry and had a strong liver fire, and there was no sign of poisoning at all.

The matter was eventually dropped and the emperor began to focus on taking care of his health.

However, this time Chu Xuan sent people to investigate the matter of the Seventh Prince, and as a result, mud was brought out along with it, and the emperor was the mud that was brought out.

"Are you saying that His Majesty's illness is because Concubine Xian put chronic poison in his food? She even dared to privately carve the imperial seal!" Lu Yanluo said in surprise.

[Poisoning again. As the old saying goes, women are the most poisonous.]

[This dog emperor must have offended Concubine Xian in his previous life, and he is destined to die in her hands in this life. ]

Chu Xuan laughed: "What are you thinking about in your little head all day? Concubine Xian did this because Chu Han lost the emperor's favor. She was anxious and wanted Chu Han to sit on the throne before he lost all his supporters. But doesn't she have to get rid of the current emperor first?"

"After getting rid of the emperor, and holding the imperial edict and the imperial seal, he is definitely the heir."

Lu Yanluo couldn't help but admire Concubine Xian's wolfish ambition, and said in amazement: "She really has a plan in mind. What about poisoning the Seventh Prince? Could it be that the Emperor has been doting on the Seventh Prince recently and is afraid that someone will use this as an excuse to prevent him from ascending the throne, so he took the initiative?"

Chu Xuan tapped Lu Yanluo's nose in appreciation and praised: "A Luo is smart."

That's exactly what she was thinking. I have to say, when a woman becomes ruthless, she is just as ruthless as a man.

On the second day, Lu Yanluo went to Guanju Palace and told the Imperial Concubine about the incident, asking her to be more careful in the palace and not let anyone take advantage of her.

Before leaving the palace, Lu Yanluo deliberately took a detour to the Fenghua Palace. At this time, if nothing unexpected happened, Concubine Xian should have just returned from the Emperor.

Lu Yanluo felt amused as she walked. In order to let the emperor see her good intentions, Concubine Xian would visit the emperor every day and serve him with soup and water, but secretly she was doing things that could take people's lives. It was really ridiculous.
