Fenghua Town, Liu family mansion.

Liu Yu surrounded Lu Yanluo and learned acupoint pressing techniques, while at the same time he arranged for people to prepare a horse and travel money for her.

"Miss Lu, after you finish your business in the capital, will you come back here? If I don't learn acupoint pressing, can you still continue to teach me?"

Liu Yu has been introverted since childhood and loves reading, so his mind is very simple and he doesn't have so many messy thoughts.

But this also made Lu Yanluo feel particularly embarrassed, and she was unwilling to take advantage of this nerd for nothing.

It happened to be a rainy day, and Lu Yanluo inadvertently discovered that Father Liu's legs and feet had become much clumsy when he walked, and it was obvious that he had rheumatism.

Lu Yanluo took out the silver needles and personally gave acupuncture treatment to Liu's father.

After a few injections, Father Liu suddenly felt his legs and feet were much more relaxed, and his perception of Lu Yanluo improved even more.

"Miss Lu, how do you feel about spending a few days with me? Yu'er has a kind nature. If someone marries him in the future, they will definitely be very lucky."

The implication of Liu's father's words was too obvious. Lu Yanluo understood it immediately. While her hands kept moving, she casually said, "Mr. Liu is very talented and kind. He is a good person."

Father Liu could tell the perfunctory tone of the question, but he still pressed on, "Miss Lu, since you think Yu'er is pretty good, why don't you stay with her? That child is very useful to you and cares about you."

Lu Yanluo paused while applying the needle: "Thank you for your kindness, but the relationship between Mr. Liu and I is just mutual help. I taught him acupuncture techniques, and he helped me return to the capital as soon as possible. Maybe it's a bit hurtful to say this, but I don't have the slightest romantic interest in Mr. Liu. Why did Mr. Liu persuade me again and again?"

"Mr. Liu has a rich family, is extremely talented, and has outstanding looks. He will definitely find a woman who suits him. Why should Mr. Liu be so anxious?"

Lu Yanluo's people spoke very bluntly during the conversation. Even though Father Liu was unwilling, he had nothing to say and could only let it go for the time being.

In the palace, Chu Xuan rushed back all the way, feeling very depressed. Lu Yanluo finally had news, but the Imperial Concubine and Lu Yanluo had a close relationship, and he couldn't just leave it alone. He had no choice but to come back temporarily to deal with the Imperial Concubine's affairs.

While walking towards the Taiji Hall, the young eunuch whispered to Chu Xuan that it turned out that it was Concubine Xian who was causing trouble again.

Today, Concubine Xian suddenly reported to the Emperor that the Imperial Concubine was having an affair with someone, saying that she had found some of the Imperial Concubine's personal belongings in the possession of a guard. During interrogation, the guard admitted that the Imperial Concubine was having an affair with him.

Because of Zhou Sheng’s previous incident, although it was eventually proved that the Seventh Prince was indeed his son, the Emperor was suspicious by nature and always had a grudge against the Imperial Concubine.

So Concubine Xian took this opportunity and used her old tricks again, making the emperor furious. He locked up Imperial Concubine Hu without any investigation.

Chu Xuan rushed to Taiji Hall and asked to see the emperor to plead for the imperial concubine.

"Father, this is all one-sided words from that guard. We cannot convict the Imperial Concubine yet. Please investigate this matter carefully."

The emperor said angrily, "What else is there to investigate? The evidence is irrefutable, and the guard has admitted it. I believe that flies don't bite eggs that have no cracks. If she is really innocent, why would someone point to her when there are so many concubines in the palace?"

Chu Xuan paused. Although he knew the emperor was averse to this, he had to bring up the past again. "Father, do you still remember Zhou Sheng that day? He also admitted that he had an affair with the imperial concubine and had evidence in his hands. But in the end, it was found out that someone deliberately framed him. Don't you think that this incident is exactly the same as Zhou Sheng's?"

"Someone deliberately framed the Imperial Concubine and deceived your father. If your father punishes the Imperial Concubine without any investigation, wouldn't that just be what the person with ulterior motives wants?"

After Chu Xuan finished speaking, the emperor fell silent. His mind, which had been blinded by anger, gradually became clear. After a moment, he finally said with relief: "Okay, since you are so sure, I will leave this matter to you to investigate. I want to see what is going on!"

Chu Xuan took the order and went to find the Imperial Concubine to question her first. As expected, the Imperial Concubine Hu looked confused and had no idea what caused this unexpected disaster.

Seeing that he could not get anything out of the Imperial Concubine, Chu Xuan sent someone to bring the guard over.

The guard had red lips and white teeth, like a handsome scholar, but he was actually a timid and cowardly person. Before Chu Xuan could do anything, he confessed.

"Your Majesty! Please spare my life. The whole thing was done by Concubine Xian. Concubine Xian arrested my whole family and threatened me that if I didn't obey her, she would kill my family! I had no choice but to frame the Imperial Concubine!"

In this way, the truth came to light. Chu Xuan sent the guards before the emperor and presented his previous confession.

The guard also told the emperor that Concubine Xian had imprisoned his family. The emperor was furious and ordered that Concubine Xian be confined to the bedroom and not allowed to go in or out. The Imperial Concubine was also released.

Chu Xuan hurried into the palace and left in a hurry. He used thundering means to uncover Concubine Xian's conspiracy, which made Concubine Xian very angry.

All the originally planned things were ruined. Concubine Xian was furious in the bedroom, secretly cursing Chu Xuan as a killer.

The previous time it was Lu Yanluo, and this time it was Chu Xuan. What kind of grudge does she have with the Night Palace that she is always ruining her plans!

Lu Yanluo? Oh, by the way, why didn't we see Lu Yanluo when the Imperial Concubine got into trouble this time? Instead, it was Chu Xuan who showed up.

This was a bit abnormal. After thinking about it, Concubine Xian secretly found her spy in the palace and sent her to secretly find out why Lu Yanluo did not enter the palace.

The servant acted quickly and brought back the news in the evening.

"My queen, it is said that Princess Ye has been missing for many days. The Night King was going to look for Princess Ye, but he was found by someone and rescued the Imperial Concubine. I heard from the servants in the palace that they have not seen the Princess for many days."

"Lu Yanluo is missing?" Concubine Xian was surprised, but then she smiled smugly: "It's good that she's missing. If she's missing, she should never come back! Go check and see if you can find out where Lu Yanluo is now. Didn't the Night King say he was going to look for her? Where is he going to look for her? This time, I'm going to make her disappear from the capital forever!"

Chu Xuan rushed all the way to Fenghua Town, but unexpectedly he did not see Lu Yanluo in Liu Mansion. When Liu's father learned that Chu Xuan was looking for someone, he was selfish and did not tell the truth, but lied to Chu Xuan instead.

"The mansion did rescue two women, but they were both good girls from nearby villages. I have already sent them back home. There was no such person as you mentioned. I am afraid you have come to the wrong place."

Chu Xuan did not doubt what Liu's father said. He thought he had really made a mistake. It happened that Lu Yanluo was taken out by Liu Yu, and the two missed each other by accident.
