The man was dressed elegantly in white and holding a folding fan. He pointed with the fan at the waist bag where she had just put the Heart-Slaying Grass, and said with a smile, "My name is Mu Yuebai. I have been looking for this herb for a long time, and finally found it when I came here today. I wonder if the young lady is willing to bear the pain and give it up?"

So handsome...

Lu Yanluo was stunned. When she regained consciousness, she finally shook her head and said, "No, this is really not possible."

This is related to her life and property!

The Queen had said before that she would use torture, and if she had no more bargaining chips in her hand, the Queen might just take her life.

But Mu Yuebai was a little disappointed when he heard this.

"In that case, I will not force you. Herbs are precious, I hope you will treat them well."

Lu Yanluo felt a little embarrassed and scratched her head, "Actually..."

"princess!"

Xiao Ran interrupted her with a cry of surprise, "Princess! Something terrible has happened! The Queen Mother's illness has relapsed, and someone from the palace is looking for you! Please follow me into the palace!"

Lu Yanluo hurried out of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion and met Chu Xuan who came to pick her up.

After getting on the carriage, Lu Yanluo frowned slightly, "What's going on?"

[It's just a minor heart disease. The medicine I prescribed is foolproof. There's no chance of it coming back.]

After hearing this, Chu Xuan finally relaxed the tension in his heart and breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Lu Yanluo knew what was going on, he would dare to guarantee her.

Soon, the two arrived at the Empress Dowager's bedroom. At this time, many imperial doctors were kneeling beside the Empress Dowager's bed.

Seeing Lu Yanluo and Chu Xuan coming in, Concubine Lin stood up immediately and said angrily: "Lu Yanluo, what do you mean? Before, you suddenly said that you could cure it. Your Majesty was kind and believed you. But now the Queen Mother is suddenly ill. This is the fate of believing you!"

Concubine Lin, the biological mother of Prince Ning Chu Zhen.

As for the relationship between Ning Wang Chu Zhen and Chu Xuan, it is incompatible. The two have been fighting for the throne for many years. They are evenly matched in the court. In the harem, Concubine Lin will naturally seize every opportunity to add insult to injury for Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan calmly walked in front of the emperor, without bowing or kneeling, but said calmly: "Father, it is true that Yanluo treated the Royal Grandmother's heart disease before, but it has been so long, and the Royal Grandmother's old illness suddenly relapsed. How can it be entirely blamed on Yanluo?"

The implication is that the Queen Mother had another accident after Lu Yanluo recovered.

How could this matter be blamed on me and Lu Yanluo?

Seeing that the emperor remained silent, Lu Yanluo took the opportunity to say, "Father, please allow your daughter-in-law to come in and treat the grandmother."

The emperor waved his hand, and Lu Yanluo hurried to the empress dowager's bedside.

No one noticed that Concubine Lin was laughing secretly, and there was a hint of viciousness in her eyes.

Lu Yanluo sat down beside the bed and saw Doctor Chen checking the Queen Mother's pulse, so she asked, "Doctor Chen, what is the Queen Mother's condition like?"

"How is it?" Doctor Chen's eyes flashed with sarcasm. "Doesn't your Highness know the Queen Mother's condition? I have said it before, your Highness, you are a woman who doesn't know anything, but you insisted on treating her. Now, even the doctors in the Imperial Hospital don't know the cause of the disease. It's all because of your Highness!"

"Everything is not clear yet. Why is Doctor Chen so eager to put the blame on me?" Lu Yanluo said coldly, staring at Doctor Chen with a grim look.

Doctor Chen sneered, his eyes full of disdain: "Whether it was the princess' fault, the princess knows it clearly!"

Lu Yanluo raised her eyebrows and smiled: "What do I know? I haven't been in the palace these days, and I don't even know what medicine you gave the Queen Mother. You put the blame on me for no reason, and you still say that I know it in my heart?"

"Someone come here! Bring up the medicine residue!" Doctor Chen ordered coldly.

Soon, the eunuch brought the bowl of medicine residue. Lu Yanluo pulled out the silver hairpin on her head and started to flip it over carefully.

Finally just shook his head.

"The medicine residue is fine. They are all common medicines used to calm the nerves."

Concubine Lin immediately snorted coldly, "It seems that Princess Ye is just making a lot of noise but doing little. Your confident words just now were just a cover-up for your guilty conscience."

"Why is the Imperial Concubine so aggressive? I only said that there is no problem with the medicine residue, but I did not say that the Empress Dowager's illness must be a heart disease." Lu Yanluo said coldly.

Chu Xuan took a step forward and immediately said, "The Queen Mother's heart disease had been cured for many days, but she suddenly became seriously ill in bed. If there was really something wrong with Yanluo's treatment, why did it flare up today?"

Both his words and his intention were to distance himself from the matter.

Chu Xuan defended herself like this again. Lu Yanluo lowered her head, feeling heartbroken.

What exactly caused the Queen Mother's old illness to relapse?
