After leaving Qin Xuelin, Lu Yanluo had nothing to do so she took a detour to Guanju Palace.

The Imperial Noble Consort was alone in Guanju Palace taking care of the Seventh Prince, and the Emperor had been staying at Qin Xuelin's house quite often recently. Lu Yanluo was a little worried, so since she was already here, she decided to stop by to take a look.

As soon as she entered Guanju Palace, Lu Yanluo felt something was strange. There was not a single palace maid or eunuch in the palace, not even a single servant to clean the room.

This is really abnormal. Because the Seventh Prince is here, Guanju Palace is crowded with people coming and going all day long. What happened today?

There was no one outside, so there was no need to pass the message. Lu Yanluo walked to the main hall suspiciously. Before she got close, she heard a voice from inside the hall.

Lu Yanluo felt even more strange. She walked a few steps to the door and was about to push it open when suddenly a male voice came into her ears. Lu Yanluo was so frightened that she stood there in shock.

In the palace, Imperial Noble Consort Hu, with her clothes half-undressed, leaned weakly in the arms of a man who was also in dishevel, her breath sweet as orchid, and the two were talking tenderly.

"Your Majesty, I have to go. I will come to accompany you next time I am on duty." The man said in a gentle voice.

Lu Yanluo heard it clearly outside and instantly understood what happened inside, and she became furious.

"Where are you going?" Just as the two were reluctant to say goodbye, Lu Yanluo brazenly pushed the door open and blocked the two of them on the spot.

The imperial concubine quickly blocked the man behind her, her eyes showing panic: "A Luo...you...why are you here?"

Lu Yanluo was furious. Without saying a word, she took a few steps forward and kicked the man to the ground. She said sternly, "Who are you? How dare you seduce the Imperial Concubine again? Are you courting death?"

"A Luo, don't do that!" The Imperial Concubine stood in front of the man and begged while crying, "He is just a guard in the palace. I...I found him. This is all my fault. Please don't hurt him."

"Your Majesty, you are confused!" Lu Yanluo was anxious. As an imperial concubine, she ignored the emperor and had an affair with a guard, making the emperor a cuckold. Wasn't this courting death?

"Have you ever thought about what would happen to you and the Seventh Prince if this matter got out? What would others say? You are a fickle person, seducing the harem and confusing the heirs. Madam, how could you do this?"

Lu Yanluo didn't know what to say.

The Imperial Concubine's face turned pale, and she sobbed, "I don't want to do this either, but A'Luo, this deep palace is too lonely. His Majesty is surrounded by so many people, including Concubine Xian, Concubine Hui, this Concubine, and that noble lady. When has he ever seen me? In order to suppress the Night King, he is willing to push a newborn child to the forefront!"

"A Luo, how can a man like this be worth me keeping my virginity for? I will feel lonely too. Why can he have three thousand rivers, but I can't find a close friend for myself?"

"You..." Lu Yanluo was speechless. Since ancient times, women followed the three obediences and four virtues, gave birth to children, and hoped that their husbands would come to their rooms all day long. In this endless loneliness, they lived their lives in an obedient manner. But is this what women deserved to endure?

Finally, Lu Yanluo compromised: "My queen, I will keep this a secret for you and will never let any news leak out. But you have to know that the harem is in chaos and complicated right now. Maybe someone is secretly watching your every move, so I want you to promise me that from today on, you are not allowed to see this person again."

"My lady, can you promise me? As long as you promise, I will help you keep this secret."

The imperial concubine looked back at the man reluctantly, and nodded heavily after a long while: "Okay, I promise you, I will never meet him alone again."

Hearing the answer she wanted, Lu Yanluo stepped forward to help the imperial concubine up, and then said to the guards who had not spoken a word, "Leave here immediately. From now on, do your duty and don't have any more thoughts that you shouldn't have! Get out!"

The man stood up, took one last look at the Imperial Concubine, turned around and left. Only when she saw the man's figure getting farther and farther away did the Imperial Concubine breathe a sigh of relief.

"A Luo, thank you for promising to keep this secret for me."

Lu Yanluo didn't want to say more. Before turning around and leaving, she looked at the Imperial Concubine meaningfully: "Your Majesty, this is all I have to say. I hope you will turn back soon. The palace will not tolerate you taking a wrong step. Even for the sake of the Seventh Prince, you should not be so reckless."

Lu Yanluo left, leaving the Imperial Concubine alone in the palace with a confused look on her face.

After leaving the palace, the guard had not left yet and was secretly eavesdropping on the conversation inside the room. A cold light flashed in Lu Yanluo's eyes, and the man noticed it and hurried away.

Lu Yanluo felt strange and after thinking for a moment, she followed him. She wanted to see who this guard was.

They walked straight out of the palace gate, the guards walking non-stop, as if they were in a hurry to meet someone. Lu Yanluo followed closely behind, hiding in the dark and observing secretly.

Unexpectedly, three men in black suddenly appeared out of nowhere and caught Lu Yanluo off guard. After several fights, when she repelled the men in black, the guard was nowhere to be seen.

Lu Yanluo was unwilling to accept the fact that she had lost the person, but at the same time she was also more certain that there was definitely something wrong with this guard and someone had deliberately let him go.

Night Palace.

Lu Yanluo carefully instructed the secret guards in the palace to investigate the true identity of today's guard, but she overlooked an important thing. Today in the palace, she did not even ask what the guard's name was.

If she wanted to investigate, she would have to start from the affair between the Imperial Concubine and the guard, which really made Lu Yanluo feel a little embarrassed.

[How treacherous! He didn't even tell Wu what the guard's name was.]

[Is he really going to reveal the affair between the imperial concubine and the guard? But that guard seems suspicious no matter how you look at him. Could it be that someone has deliberately set a trap for him? ]

[The little guard has red lips and white teeth, no wonder the imperial concubine fell in headfirst. ]

Chu Xuan stood outside the door, listening to Lu Yanluo in the room talking more and more outrageously. He couldn't help but frown. He pushed open the door and walked in.

"Which little guard are you thinking about? You didn't even notice that I was coming. You are so bold, Lu Yanluo." Chu Xuan pretended to be angry and raised his hand to gently pinch Lu Yanluo's cheek.

Lu Yanluo smiled flatteringly and held Chu Xuan's hand tightly, "No way, no way. No guard in any family can be as handsome as our prince!"

Then he told Chu Xuan what he had encountered in the palace: "Tell me, what should I do? That guard is obviously not a good person."

Chu Xuan smiled, turned around and called Shen He: "Go check if there is a guard who is often on duty in the harem recently and is very close to a concubine in the palace. Be careful and come back quickly."

Lu Yanluo was extremely satisfied. There were records of the shifts in the palace. The guard who had an affair with the imperial concubine must have done it near the harem, so she could find out easily.
