Lu Yanluo entered the palace with the original intention of looking for Qin Xuelin and privately inquiring whether there were any unusual movements in the palace recently, but as she walked, she turned to Yilan Palace.

Qin Xuelin is pregnant, so it’s better not to disturb her about many things.

He headed all the way to Yilan Palace, but unexpectedly, he met his enemy on a narrow road. Just as he turned the corridor, he ran into the gloomy-faced Sixth Prince Chu Han.

Since Chu Han came back from the Northern Frontier, he has been very unpopular with the emperor.

There are two reasons. First, he led the troops to war, but he was not capable enough. Not only was he defeated, but he was also captured and had to be rescued by others.

The second reason was because of Concubine Xian. In order to save Chu Han, Concubine Xian did not hesitate to threaten Southern Xinjiang. The emperor did not say it on his face, but he was already dissatisfied in his heart.

So since Chu Han was rescued, the emperor didn't even summon him or ask him a simple question, but just left him alone in Prince Liang's mansion.

On the other hand, Chu Xuan was rewarded and commended by the emperor, which made Chu Han full of jealousy.

Lu Yanluo secretly cursed her bad luck. She turned around and wanted to leave without even looking at Chu Han.

Unexpectedly, Chu Han said, "Didn't Princess Ye see me? You left when you saw me. Do you really not take me seriously? Lu Yanluo, don't forget that even if I have fallen out of favor with my father, I am still his son!"

Lu Yanluo turned around and smiled calmly: "Of course, but no matter what, I am still your sister-in-law. Your Highness not only did not salute me, but instead shouted here. What's the matter? Did the King of Liang forget all the etiquette, righteousness, and honor during his time in the Northern Frontier?"

"You!" Chu Han was furious. He didn't want anyone to mention the affairs of Northern Xinjiang the most.

Lu Yanluo looked indifferent and turned away.

Chu Han was unwilling to give up, so he looked at Lu Yanluo's departing back and followed her quietly.

It was not until they arrived at Yilan Palace that they found out that Lu Yanluo came here to look for the Imperial Concubine. Chu Han was hiding in the dark and was going crazy with jealousy.

The moment she stepped into the palace, Lu Yanluo curled her lips in disdain. She knew that Chu Han was hiding in the dark and secretly watching her.

But she didn't care at all and swaggered into Yilan Palace.

Ever since the last incident with Zhou Sheng, Mrs. Lu always felt a little guilty towards Lu Yanluo. When she saw Lu Yanluo suddenly coming over, Mrs. Lu was overjoyed.

"You came, and I thought you never wanted to see me again." Unconsciously, there was a hint of grievance in his words.

Lu Yanluo smiled calmly: "How could that be? I don't want to see anyone but you. As long as you don't mind, I will come here often in the future."

She did not bring up what happened that day, nor did she say who was right or wrong. Talking about things that had already passed would only hurt feelings.

Lu obviously thought so too. She smiled brightly and pulled Lu Yanluo into the inner hall.

"I'd love for you to come and talk to me. I won't find you annoying, but you're always the type who won't come to me for no reason. Tell me, what's the matter?"

The two smiled at each other, and the past was truly past.

"You still understand me the best." Lu Yanluo said seriously, "Has there been any unusual movement in the palace recently?"

Lu shook her head and then asked, "Did anything happen to you?"

Lu Yanluo told the story of how the housekeeper in the mansion was seduced and coerced, which made Mrs. Lu feel frightened.

"Your Majesty has just returned from the northern border. The palaces are relatively honest, but there is no guarantee that someone will be unwilling to give in and secretly send people to plot against the Night Palace." The more Lu spoke, the more worried she became: "No, it's too dangerous for you and the prince. So, I have a group of Jingwei in my hand, which my father left for me before he left the capital. I will give them to you to ensure your safety."

Lu Yanluo quickly refused upon hearing this: "No need to do that, things are far from that point. You keep the elite soldiers to yourself, the prince and I can protect ourselves. Now the most urgent task is to find the person behind the scenes, otherwise it will be too disadvantageous for us if the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light."

Lu agreed very much, but the two of them had no clue for the time being, so they could only watch secretly and wait for the person behind the scenes to reveal himself.

After coming out of Yilan Palace, Lu Yanluo walked all the way to the palace gate without stopping.

It was cold in winter, and the air you exhaled when standing outside was covered with white mist. Lu Yanluo glanced at the white mist coming out from behind the trees on the roadside and sneered in her heart, thinking that he was really persistent.

Seeing the palace gate approaching, Lu Yanluo was in no mood to negotiate with a madman. She walked past Chu Han without stopping and without looking away.

"Stop!" Chu Han suddenly spoke out, stopping Lu Yanluo.

Lu Yanluo rolled her eyes, turned to look at Chu Han, and sneered, "What on earth does Your Highness Prince Liang want from me? You're following me, and you're surrounding me. If you really have something to say, you might as well tell me."

Chu Han's face turned red and white after his previous stalking behavior was exposed, but he still said with a stiff upper lip: "Lu Yanluo, you were the one who slandered me in front of the emperor, right? I warn you, you and Chu Xuan, don't be so arrogant, sooner or later, I will make you kneel down and cry and beg for mercy!"

The fact that Lu Yanluo went to the palace to see the Imperial Concubine reminded Chu Han of the Emperor's coldness towards him during this period. He wondered if Lu Yanluo had said something to the Emperor through the Imperial Concubine.

Lu Yanluo looked at Chu Han in confusion: "Are you mentally ill? Everyone is your imaginary enemy? I'm so sorry, my prince and I really don't take you seriously, you don't have to imagine yourself here, instead of following me, you might as well go to His Majesty to improve your favorability, by the way."

Lu Yanluo was very rude and made Chu Han speechless. He could only stand there, furious.

Just then, Concubine Xian walked out from the porch and rushed towards Lu Yanluo angrily. Fortunately, Chu Han regained his consciousness and quickly grabbed her.

"Mother, forget it, don't be impulsive."

Concubine Xian was furious, pointing at Lu Yanluo's back and cursing, "Why are you stopping me? This bitch is so arrogant, I'll tear her apart!"

Chu Han was too impatient to explain and forcefully pulled Concubine Xian away.

Lu Yanluo listened to the argument between the two people behind her, snorted sarcastically, and left the palace and returned home.

As soon as he returned home, the doctor who had previously treated Butler Li's mother came to see him.

Lu Yanluo was worried, thinking that something had happened to Li Guanjia's mother, and hurriedly asked, "But what happened to Li Guanjia's mother?"

Unexpectedly, the doctor shook his head and replied, "No, the condition has been temporarily relieved. Today, I came here to talk to the princess about the cause of the old woman's illness. Butler Li's mother is not sick, but poisoned."

"Poisoned?" Lu Yanluo was surprised: "What kind of poison is it? Can you find out?"

Before, Chu Xuan and she did suspect that Butler Li's mother was ill with a strange illness, but they never thought that it was poisoning.

"It is a poison unique to Beiliang, called Mu Si. People who are poisoned will think they died of illness until they die, so it is called Mu Si."
