As she was still talking, she heard a commotion outside the hall. No wonder Xuanyuan Yuchuan and De Guifei wanted to punish her, and the smallest trivial matters were reported to the Yanxi Palace.

The young eunuch rushed into the hall, knelt down, and said without even swallowing his saliva: "Oh no, madam, the General Zhenbei has killed a servant."

Concubine Shu was particularly indifferent: "Kill him if you want. A great general cannot punish a servant?"

The young eunuch said anxiously, "The general, he, he killed Xiao Lan Zi who was working in the Yang Xin Palace."

"A small basket?"

The nanny reminded: "It's the little eunuch whose relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is unclear."

Concubine Shu's face relaxed, "I didn't think it was a big deal. It's just right. Killing a eunuch can protect the reputation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. It's the best of both worlds."

Concubine Shu showed no concern for the feelings of her servant. The eunuch who came in to report raised his eyes as if he wanted to say something, but then lowered his eyes and held it back.

"Go down, you are just a servant."

After the young eunuch left, the situation in the palace was quietly changing.

The gates of the East Palace were closed as usual. But Xuanyuan Yuchuan was almost going crazy, kneeling in the courtyard with the corpse in the small basket and crying bitterly.

Hu Luanfei tried to comfort him, but he was still in sorrow, unable to extricate himself, dazed and motionless. The fallen leaves of the crabapple blossoms withered and fell on the pale face of the small basket. A vibrant life, like these withered leaves, passed away.

Finally, Xuanyuan Yuchuan was willing to speak, "There's nothing to be sad about. It's just the death of a servant. Besides, what I wanted from the beginning to the end was power."

"Do you want to believe it?" When he arrived at Yangxin Palace after learning the news that Xiao Lan Zi had been killed, Qi Shenyuan had already stabbed Xiao Lan Zi in the throat with a sword. If Xiao Lan Zi had not died, he would have been able to recover with the spiritual spring of space. Unfortunately, he was one step too late, and Xiao Lan Zi lost his life in vain.

At this moment, apart from blaming himself, Hu Luanfei could not find a suitable reason to describe his feelings at the moment.

The atmosphere in the East Palace became a little gloomy.

Xuanyuan Yuchuan's face also became more terrifying.

Although he said he was not sad, he was already mad with anger in his heart.

The death of Xiao Lanzi became the last straw that broke the camel's back for Xuanyuan Yuchuan. The gradually cooling corpse told him that he had to become stronger, otherwise he would not be able to protect anyone.

The next day was the time for the battle.

After a night of sadness, Xuanyuan Yuchuan became much more mature and steady. Even Xuanyuan Li couldn't help showing a hint of surprise when he saw him.

In the palace, Concubine Shu was holding her daughter and coaxing her to sleep. A nanny was waiting beside her, fanning her gently with a silk fan. Xuanyuan Li sat quietly, and the maid served him tea. Xuanyuan Li took a sip of the tea and said, "The prince came to pay his respects this morning."

"What did you say?" Concubine Shu held her sleeping daughter and handed her to the nanny. She turned her head and looked at Xuanyuan Li, smiling slightly: "Let me guess, are you still questioning the princess's background?"

Xuanyuan Li said, "Shufei, you are overthinking. The prince has apologized to me and has come with me to the Yanxi Palace. I thought that the blood test might have hurt you, so I didn't let him come in with me. According to Shufei's wishes, do you want to see the prince?"

Concubine Shu seemed unconvinced and asked worriedly, "Does Your Highness really think that he is wrong?"

"If Concubine Shu sees him in person, she will know the Crown Prince's intentions."

"No." Concubine Shu frowned and put her hands on her chest. "I can't let go of the grudge in my heart. Ze'er is his brother, Ling'er is his sister, and he dared to embarrass me in front of all the concubines in the harem and almost killed Ling'er. Ze'er has been killed and there is no possibility of him succeeding to the throne. What is he doing in the Yanxi Palace? To laugh at me?"

As he spoke, he covered his face and wiped away his tears.

Xuanyuan Li sighed, "If you don't want to see him, then don't see him. I will send someone to send him away."

……

Hu Luanfei was in a side hall of Chengqian Palace when he suddenly remembered that modern technology could use DNA testing to prove whether the two were parent-child.

She flashed into the space and came to the screen panel in the exchange area, ready to ask Liu Ruofeng if he could help her, but Liu Ruofeng sent a message in advance saying: [The shells of the previous rain bombs will fall down. When you use them, remember to stay away from the crowds and villages to avoid the shells falling and hitting people. Oh, by the way, do you still need rain bombs? If not, I will cancel the order.]

It is better to be prepared for rain bombs. Hu Luanfei has plenty of money. Anyway, he has no plans to return to the 21st century for the time being, so it is useless to keep the money. So he replied to Liu Ruofeng to order dozens more. At the critical moment, he also asked him if he was willing to help get the materials for paternity testing.

Liu Ruofeng made an extremely surprised expression, and then ate melons again, [Sure, I thought life in ancient times was very boring. Tell me, how many hats did your man wear for you.]

Hu Luanfei sent a hammer and left a direct message: "Wait."

After leaving the space, Hu Luanfei went to look for Xuanyuan Yuchuan. On the way, he unexpectedly met Shufei and her group.

They seemed to be going to the Queen Mother's palace to pay respects. When they met, Concubine Shu held the child and smiled sweetly: "I heard that the young master and my little princess are not much different in age. We are lucky to meet today. Why don't you take the young master to the Queen Mother to have tea and chat?"

Hu Luanfei smiled, took two steps closer to Concubine Shu and looked at the little princess, "Ah, this child is so tender and fair, and looks so good, unlike my kid, who is dark and looks like his father."

Hu Luanfei touched the little princess's hand lovingly, "Your fingers are long and slender, but you inherited them from Concubine Shu. Oh, your nails are a little long, be careful not to scratch your fair and tender face."

Concubine Shu said calmly: "The nail knife in the palace is not suitable for her to use. In the past, Ze'er..."

Talking about Xuanyuan Yuze, Concubine Shu's cheerful expression quickly changed. Hu Luanfei took out a baby manicure knife to divert Concubine Shu's attention. "If your majesty doesn't mind, I have a special manicure knife for babies in swaddling clothes. You see, just aim at the nail and press it gently, and the nail will be easily cut off. And, if you turn it around, the danger of this manicure knife will be greatly reduced."

Shufei accepted the nail clippers, still thinking about her poor son. Her attitude towards Hu Luanfei was neither kind nor humble, nor cold and distant. She said goodbye quietly and left.

Hu Luanfei came to the East Palace. There were two more eunuchs guarding the gate of the East Palace. They were from Chengqian Palace.

When the two saw her, they greeted her with a smile, "Princess, please stay."

Hu Luanfei paused, "What's the matter?"

The young eunuch said, "Her Royal Highness the Concubine has ordered me to wait here for Her Royal Highness the Princess to go to a place to get something together."

Hu Luanfei tried her best to suppress her doubts and said reluctantly: "This princess is here to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Young eunuch: "The Empress knows, so she ordered me to wait for your arrival. Your Majesty, please..."
