The emperor and empress joined forces to thoroughly investigate the clues that Luo Chen had left in the open. Fortunately, the three masters helped, otherwise Luo Chen would have had to be investigated by them.

The final clue points to Concubine Li Xianfei.

Even Lin Qingwan was found out. The emperor was furious and wanted to immediately order the death of these two people, but Lin Qingwan was easy to deal with, but Concubine Li was the mother of the eldest prince, so it was a bit difficult to deal with.

After Luo Chen woke up, the emperor came to see her.

"Luo Qing, how do you feel?"

Luo Chen said with red eyes: "I am fine, but the emperor has suffered a great crime. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why is Li so cruel? My child has not been born yet."

The emperor was heartbroken and held Luo Chen's hand: "My beloved concubine, please don't cry. Be careful not to hurt yourself."

"How does the emperor plan to deal with Li?"

The emperor showed a trace of struggle in his eyes, and said slowly: "I will never let Li go, but..."

"But what?" Luo Chen asked, holding the emperor's hand tightly.

"Sheng'er he..."

"The eldest prince."

Luo Chen was muttering to himself as tears fell from his eyes. The emperor immediately reached out to wipe them away. When his hand touched the corners of Luo Chen's eyes, he could feel the burning of Luo Chen's tears.

"Luo Qing, I have to take Sheng'er into consideration." After saying this, he didn't dare to look at Luo Chen.

Luo Chen laughed bitterly twice: "Hahaha, never mind, then you can do whatever you want."

"Don't worry, I will make Lin pay a heavy price."

Just as he finished speaking, Zhou Yu came in: "Your Majesty."

"Why did you come in?" The emperor frowned and looked at Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu said: "Your Majesty, I agree that I am two months pregnant."

The emperor was stunned. Here, another child was coming. He had few offspring, and each one was very precious. But as soon as he said this, how would it end?

Luo Chen secretly glanced at the emperor, seeing that he was in a dilemma again, he smiled secretly in his heart, but said nothing, just looked at him with a look of despair.

The emperor looked at Luo Chen in embarrassment: "Luo Qing..."

Luo Chen murmured, "Since the emperor does not punish Li, there is no reason to punish Lin."

Luo Chen looked at the emperor sadly, and said with a choked voice: "I don't ask for anything else, I can't ask for anything more, I just ask that the emperor will always remember this day, always remember that the emperor almost couldn't come to this world, and love the emperor more in the future."

The emperor nodded and said, "Don't worry, Luo Qing. I will not forget the grievances you and my son have suffered. I will love you and your son well in the future."

"Zhou Yu, pass on my decree. Li will be demoted to a talented lady and confined to the back hall of Chonghua Palace together with Wan Ying. A Buddhist temple will be built in Chonghua Palace. From now on, the two of them will be accompanied by the green lamp and the ancient Buddha for the rest of their lives."

Luo Chen turned around and said, "Your Majesty, please go and do your work. I am tired and want to rest."

The emperor tucked the quilt in for Luo Chen and said to the servants in the palace, "Serve the imperial concubine well."

Luo Chen turned around and heard this, his eyes lit up. He didn't expect there would be such an unexpected surprise. That's great.

After the emperor left, Luo Chen drove everyone out of the room, and immediately sat up and breathed a sigh of relief: "He's finally gone. It's so tiring to act out a scene for such a long time without any NGs."

[Host, even if you can't kill Concubine Li, why don't you let the emperor banish her to the cold palace? ]

Luo Chen explained: "If he is sent to the cold palace, he will probably die in a few days. Only by being locked up like this can he live in torment and tell everyone all the time that the eldest prince has a sinner mother."

[What if Concubine Li Xian couldn't bear it and committed suicide? ]

"If she is banished to the cold palace, then there is really no hope, and there is only one way out, which is death. If she is only demoted to a concubine and locked up, then Li will have hope. She will think that she can make a comeback with the help of her son, and she will not die for her son. She also hopes that her son will release her when he becomes emperor in the future."

【What about Lin Qingwan? 】

"Even in such a situation, there was still a sudden turn of events. I have to say that this heroine has an aura. She was tortured in Baohua Palace for two months and was able to keep the child. Even if I begged her, I probably couldn't kill her. It would be better to sell the emperor and let him remember how much my son and I have suffered for him. Only in this way can he take us mother and son to heart. The emperor's guilt is sometimes very useful."

【You humans are so complicated. 】

"You've been following me for so long, why are you still like this?"

[...Before, it was because the level was too low and it was just a machine without its own thoughts. Now...]

"What about now? You are not a machine now?"

[...I have gained wisdom.]

Luo Chen smiled and said nothing: "Yeah, I've grown up and have my own little secrets now."

【...】

The queen was somewhat disappointed that she did not kill Li completely, and felt that Luo Chen was useless.

In the past, Li relied on the fact that she gave birth to the emperor's only son, and later became the Holy Mother Empress Dowager, and often looked down on her. The queen had been holding this anger for more than ten years and had long wished that Li would die.

Unfortunately, it didn't happen.

Before, the Queen wanted to adopt Luo Chen's child, but now that this has happened, the Emperor is feeling guilty and must not do that. Now she hopes that Lin Qingwan can be as hardworking as her sister and give birth to a little prince. In this way, the Emperor will not let Concubine Shu raise two princes alone, and she will have a chance.

The queen rubbed her head, feeling sad. If she could give birth, she wouldn't have to be so scheming as she is now. She just hoped that Concubine Lin Shu could be more obedient and stop causing trouble for her, otherwise she would not be able to live like this.

The Queen sent someone to look after Lin Qingwan's child to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation.

Just after she gave the order, she heard the emperor's decree. It had only been a few hours, how come she was promoted to noble concubine? The queen took a deep breath and assigned twice as many people to Lin Qingwan's side. She must ensure the smooth birth of the child.

Luo Chen didn't care what was happening outside. Anyway, she already had a son, so her goal was half accomplished. The rest was just a matter of waiting for the child to grow up. She remembered that the emperor could still live for a few decades.

Ah, it has been such a long time. When can she go out and relax? It is too lonely staying in the palace.

Luo Chen, who had nothing to do, immediately issued an order to the Lin clan to expel Lin Qingwan when her mother came to the palace to see her.

Some elders in the clan thought that Lin Qingwan was also pregnant, and maybe it was a prince. At that time, the Lin family would have a greater chance of winning, so they asked Madam Lin to go back and persuade Luo Chen.

Madam Lin only said one sentence: "Are you people going to offend Concubine Lin and the Second Prince for a criminal who plotted to murder the heir to the throne?"

Now no one dared to say anything. After all, Lin Qingwan's crime had already been determined, and it was still unknown whether the baby in her belly was a boy or a girl. It was not worth offending the imperial concubine in the harem for an uncertain result.

Therefore, Lin Qingwan was successfully removed from the Lin family.

Luo Chen went to Lin Qingwan in person to tell her about this matter, because she knew that under the Queen's heavy encirclement, her people could not get close to Lin Qingwan.

Luo Chen knew what the Queen was thinking, but he was going to disappoint her because Lin Qingwan was giving birth to a daughter.
