On this day, the imperial palace was in a state of chaos, with many palace maids running about in the imperial garden. It was a mess. The source of the chaos was actually Yun Ruo Yao's residence.

It wasn't that Yun Ruo Yao was about to give birth, she was still a few months away from having a child.

"Just what kind of imperial physicians are you people?!" If we can't protect our children, we want your heads! " At this moment, Yuchi Xuan was furious. Yun Ruo Yao was already in bed, in so much pain that she was on the verge of death.

"Your Majesty, chenqie, it hurts …" Her voice was exceptionally sharp.

"Your majesty, the empress only ate things that she shouldn't have, but this humble subject has already prescribed medicine. As long as the empress takes this medicine, she can guarantee the fetal safety." The imperial physician was trembling with fear.

It was no wonder. After all, this was Yuchi Xuan's first child, and he had gone through the veins of the old imperial physician as well. He was a prince, and the successor to Yuchi Xuan's future throne had a chance of becoming the future emperor.

Naturally, Yun Ruo Lu knew what had happened over there. She also knew that aside from Yuchi Xuan, no one else in the imperial palace dared to harm the Empress's child. There was no way that Yuchi Xuan would harm his child. The empress suddenly ate something that she shouldn't have. According to ordinary people, she must have eaten something that she shouldn't have.

However, she didn't think that way. In this harem, pregnant women's meals were all matched together, and it was good for their children and their mother. The head chef of the royal kitchen wasn't an idiot. How could he not take care of the food carefully?

Thus, this should be a self-directed act of Yun Ruyao.

Yun Ruo Lu's guess wasn't wrong. After drinking the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician, Yun Ruo Yao's stomach didn't hurt anymore. She lay on the bed and said, "Your majesty, you have to avenge your concubine …"

"What did the empress eat?" Yuchi Xuan also found it strange. Did the people in the palace dare to neglect the empress?

"Reporting to the emperor, the empress didn't have much appetite today. She only drank some porridge and then changed into the clothes the imperial concubine sent over for the pregnant women to wear." A palace maid by the empress's side said.

"Tell me about the clothes." Yuchi Xuan said.

There was a faint musky smell on the clothes. Although the smell wasn't too deep, it was extremely harmful to the child in the womb. Even if she wore it once, it would still make Yun Ruoyao's life miserable.

Yuchi Xuan tossed the clothes aside. "Take them out and burn them!"

"Your majesty!" Yun Ruo Yao lay on the bed and called out: "These are the clothes my little sister gifted to chenqie, how can I burn them so easily? Sister will not harm me! " Although Yun Ruo Yao said this, a trace of hatred flashed past her eyes. How could she let such good evidence be burned?

"Queen, I don't know which crudely made girl these clothes are, but they are stained with musk! Humph! "Just who is in charge of serving the empress on a daily basis?" Yuchi Xuan asked.

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty. This servant is my servant." The palace maid who had been standing modestly by Yuchi Xuan's side earlier said.

"Someone come! This lowly servant did things so carelessly and nearly caused my son to disappear. Drag her out randomly and beat her to death! Also, don't make her scream out loud!" Yuchi Xuan said.

Just as the palace maid was about to beg for mercy, a ball of cloth was stuffed into her mouth, and she struggled as she was dragged out.

"The empress can relax, I've already pulled out the unreliable palace maid by the empress's side and killed her with a staff. If anyone fails to serve my beloved concubine well, I'll kill all the servants in this courtyard and give the empress another batch of careful ones." Yuchi Xuan said to Yun Ruo Yao.

Yun Ruo Yao didn't expect Yuchi Xuan to deal with this matter like this, so she could only nod. However, her anger was extremely difficult to bear, and she had already told Yuchi Xuan to find out and punish her. She originally thought she was pregnant with a prince, so she had a place in his heart.

However, she was wrong. She couldn't compare to Yun Ruo Lu at all. If she didn't have this child, she would be even less than Yun Ruo Lu.

That would have to wait until the child was born.

After Yuchi Xuan left, he didn't go to any other place but to where Yun Ruo lived.

Yun Ruo Lu was drying some herbs in the yard.

Xiang Qing was also helping out. Xiang Qing actually liked the smell of these herbs very much. It was very fragrant. Yun Ruo Lu just smiled at Xiang Qing. These herbs can indeed make people feel happy, it's just that if they are mixed together according to a certain ratio, it can become a very strong aphrodisiac.

But if you just leave it like this, you'll feel really spirited and harmless to the human body.

After Yuchi Xuan came, he ordered for Xiangqing to be temporarily taken away.

"You hate me so much!" Yuchi Xuan said.

"What is it? Are you here to suspect that I want to kill your child? " The corner of Yun Ruo Lu's mouth curved into a sneer. Right now, that child wasn't worth her taking action. At most, they would only be grieving for a while after that child died.

"I ask you, were you the one who put the musk on the clothes?" Yuchi Xuan said.

"What do you think?" Yun Ruo Lu turned around and looked at Yuchi Xuan. She didn't want to defend herself against him. She felt that there was no point in doing so. In any case, it was impossible for Yun Ruo Yao to give birth to that child.

Yuchi Xuan stared into Yun Ruo's eyes as he replied. Her eyes, however, were calm and unflustered. Could it be that this child really wasn't harmed by her?

He didn't know why, but he felt a little disappointed in his heart. Why couldn't she be jealous of Yun Ruo Yao?

Yuchi Xuan gave Yun Ruo Lu a simple warning, then left.

Yuchi Xuan, it's not that I don't want to kill your child, it's just that I want him to live a little longer! Yun Ruo You wanted to let Yun Ruo Yao know that her child was about to arrive, but the feeling was just like what she felt before.

If she was going to kill the child, she wouldn't need anything so boring as a musk.

Although Yuchi Xuan wasn't as diligent as he had been in the past, she still personally gave Yuchi Xuan the "tonic" she had personally made. Every time she saw Yuchi Xuan drink, she would feel relieved.

Yuchi Xuan was always very happy when she drank it, even though she probably wouldn't drink any of the dark stuff herself.

The maidservant behind her came out with an empty bowl. They were walking in the imperial garden.

"Looks like Imperial Concubine is in a good mood. She sends gifts to the emperor every day. They really have a deep love for each other." Scarlet Jade, whom she had not seen for a few days, once again appeared in front of her.

"Do you want some?" Yun Ruo Lu turned around and said to Chi Yu: "If you want to drink, I can make it for you." She originally wanted to say that if you drink it to death, it'll poison you to death, but she forgot that Chiyu didn't even know that it was poisonous.

Thus, Chiyu replied, "Sure."

Then he said to her, "Didn't you want to make it for me to drink?" He ran to Yun Ruo Lu with a mischievous smile.

Yun Ruo Lu had no other choice but to come to the imperial kitchens. Cooking? In her previous life, she had never cooked before, and in this life, she had never cooked either. Not only that, she couldn't recall any signs of cooking. That was why she had made that bowl of blackened food for Yuchi Xuan to drink. The only thing that Yun Ruo Lu hadn't lied to Yuchi Xuan about was that she had indeed made that bowl of blackened food herself.

Yun Ruo Lu could only take something like a stew and add some water, then casually threw in some medlar and red dates, then threw in some materials. Finally, the water boiled, but Scarlet Jade was not in a hurry. After simmering for about an hour, a prank suddenly appeared in her heart.

She poured some soy sauce into it and then spooned some chili powder into it.

Then she said to him, "Well, you can eat now. What? Didn't you say you were going to eat my food? This is what I did. "

"I really don't understand. Why would Yuchi Xuan drink this?" Your cooking skills are so bad. " He said to Yun Ruo You.

Yun Ruo Lu felt something pricking her heart. Was this thing really that bad to eat? Moreover, she had poisoned him. Every time, he would tell her that it was delicious, and then he would tell her to drink it.

Seeing that Yun Ruo was still in a daze, she took the bowl of dark food and drank it all in one gulp.

"What are you doing?" This is very hard to drink! " When Yun Ruo Lu saw him drink the bowl, she became a little anxious. She didn't expect that he would actually drink it. His neck was burning red.

"If he can drink it for you, so can I." Scarlet said a strange sentence, as if she was chasing after her.

Yun Ruo Lu didn't know what to say. She really wanted to say that right now, she wanted to use her identity as the imperial concubine to suppress him, but she couldn't say it.

"I'm going back." She turned around, feeling that if she stayed any longer, she would fall in love with the person in front of her. For some reason, she felt as if they had known each other for a long time, and she thought she would never fall in love with anyone again.

At night, she thought of Yuchi Chen. Someone had said he was not dead, so where was he now? She hoped furiously that when she was done with her revenge, she would go and find him, so she couldn't fall in love with anyone else right now.

As she thought of this, the sleeping Xiang Qing moved a little, before opening her eyes.

She sat up suddenly, her eyes turning blue, and came out. Yun Ruo pulled Xiang Qing along, only to discover that there was something different about her. She didn't seem to notice her at all.

Then he walked straight ahead, out of the room.

Yun Ruo Lu could only follow, afraid that something would happen to her. She knew that she was sleepwalking, and those who were sleepwalking shouldn't wake up so easily.

However, when she discovered that Xiangqing was walking towards the original location of the Hall of Jade Clouds, there was a trace of doubt in her heart. She continued to walk forwards and discovered that there were no guards at night at the Hall of Jade Clouds. Lan Yun stood in the center of the hall and she quickly hid herself. Xiang Qing saw Lan Yun, but Lan Yun touched her hair.

Then, Xiangqing fell into Lan Yun's arms.

"Come out, I know you're curious." Lan Yun knew that the rhyme was hanging around outside.

When Yun Ruo walked in, she realized that Lan Yun's eyes were also blue.

It suddenly occurred to her that Red Calyx's eyes seemed to be blue, too.

"Xiangqing is our youngest sister." That was the first thing Lan Yun said to her.

"Sister?" Ruo Ruo didn't understand.

"I came from the same place as her. I believe you should have seen this jade pendant on her." He took out a jade pendant. It was from Red Calyx's neck.
