Liu Ruyan motioned Xunyou to present the things: "I have been reflecting on my past in Yilan Pavilion these days. I have copied all the palace rules according to your majesty's instructions. Please have a look at it."

The emperor glanced at it casually and found that the handwriting was actually red. He could also smell a faint smell of blood: "What's going on?"

Liu Ruyan raised her eyes and looked at him with tears in her eyes, her delicate body trembling slightly: "I know that I did something wrong in a moment of confusion and made Your Majesty angry. I dare not ask for Your Majesty's forgiveness, I only hope that my sins can be alleviated..."

"So...so I cut my own blood and copied the palace rules to show my sincerity..."

The emperor scolded, "Nonsense! Don't you care about your own body or the heir in your belly?!"

Liu Ruyan bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down!"

"It's not that I don't care about the heir to the throne. This is to atone for my sins and pray for the heir to the throne. If I make Your Majesty angry, I will be guilty of a thousand deaths..."

Xun You held back her tears and said, "Your Majesty, you don't know that during the days when she was confined to Yilan Pavilion, the young lady repented for her sins every day and did not hesitate to hurt herself for this. Seeing the young lady depressed and anxious all day long, I was really distressed and worried..."

"Xunyou, stop talking."

Liu Ruyan bowed deeply. "I did something wrong, and it is reasonable for Your Majesty to be angry. Now that I have handed the copied palace rules to Your Majesty, I will take my leave first."

"After I return, I will pray for Your Majesty every day, wishing Your Majesty good health and a long life..."

Nangong Xuanyu grew up in the harem and had seen many women who appeared gentle and kind but were actually vicious. He had seen through Liu Ruyan's true colors, so how could he be deceived by such a simple trick?

However, he didn't care about Liu Ruyan, but he had to care about the heir in her belly. If he was confined to Yilan Pavilion all day, he would be depressed, which would not be conducive to the development of the heir.

"Since you have already copied the palace rules, there is no need to confine yourself to your room any longer. Go back and take good care of your pregnancy."

Liu Ruyan suppressed the joy in her eyes and said, "Yes..."

Xunyou also breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, if the young lady has no future, she will be doomed too.

On the way back to Yilan Pavilion, Xunyou asked unwillingly, "My young lady, I just saw that His Majesty is still very concerned about the 'royal heir' in your belly. Why don't you take this opportunity to tell His Majesty how Concubine Rou ordered the palace servants to treat us harshly?"

Liu Ruyan glanced at her and said, "Stupid!"

"Everyone in the palace knows that Shen Zhinian is the favorite concubine of His Majesty? His Majesty's attitude towards me has just improved a little, and I said bad things about Shen Zhinian in front of him. How is this different from seeking death?"

Xun You's eyes flashed with hatred: "I have never eaten spoiled food since I was a child, not to mention the eunuchs who deducted money from us in other places."

"All this is because of that bitch Rou Guiren, are we just going to let it go like this?!"

Liu Ruyan touched her belly and smiled sinisterly: "How can I let it go? The 'child' in my belly is still waiting for her! Shen Zhinian dared to murder the heir to the throne. Even if His Majesty dotes on her, she will definitely die!"

Perhaps it was because enemies often meet on a narrow road, the master and servant had just passed a rockery when they ran into Chen Da Ying head-on.

Chen Da Ying looked a little flustered and subconsciously took a few steps back.

Liu Ruyan's heart suddenly sank. She stared at Chen Da Ying and asked word by word, "How much of our conversation just now did you hear?!"

After the initial panic, Chen Da Ying calmed down and sneered, "I have the evidence in my hands, Lady Liu, how dare you act so arrogant in front of me?!"

"I just heard it with my own ears. You are planning to use the child in your belly to frame Concubine Rou!"

"Tsk... Which woman in the harem doesn't want to be pregnant with the emperor's heir? Why are you doing this? It hurts your own life while hurting the enemy. Is there something wrong with this child? Or is it not your Majesty's child at all?"

Liu Ruyan and Xunyou exchanged glances calmly, suppressing the murderous intent in their eyes: "You heard it all..."

Not long ago, Liu Ruyan was driven back from the Xiaotangshan Palace by the emperor, and Chen Da Ying led people to taunt her on the palace road. After Liu Ruyan became pregnant, Chen Da Ying had been worried that she would give birth to a prince, and the mother would take advantage of the son's status and retaliate against him. Today, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's God's will that you have fallen into my hands! I will report this to the Imperial Concubine. The harem will never tolerate a woman with a vicious mind like you!"

Chen agreed and turned around and ran, and Xunyou quickly chased after him!

She had just been punished by Concubine Liu to kneel at the gate of Yongshou Palace a few days ago, and her knees had not yet recovered. Of course, she could not run faster than Xunyou.

"boom!!!"

Xunyou grabbed Chen Da Ying's head and slammed her head hard against the rockery! With a loud noise, her body fell down limply, with blood flowing from her forehead.

Xun You squatted down and sniffed Chen Da Ying's breath, and said coldly: "My lady, she is dead. You deserved it for threatening us!"

Although Liu Ruyan was cunning, she was only scheming. It was the first time she saw such a bloody scene, and her face turned pale as paper.

Xun You helped her up and said, "We can't stay here for long, my lady, let's go!"

"No! You can't just leave like this!"

Xunyou looked up at Liu Ruyan and said, "This place is remote, no one will know that Chen Da Ying was killed by us. If we don't leave, are we going to wait for people to find out?"

Liu Ruyan bit her lip and said, "Are you confused? There was a murder in the palace. If we don't find the murderer, won't people be in a panic? What if the people above investigate and find us through some clues..."

Xunyou asked: "My lord, what do you mean?"

Liu Ruyan took a deep breath, and a sinister look flashed across her delicate face: "There are only a few hidden chess pieces left by my father. It's time to use them..."

……

"Your servant pays respects to Lady Rou!"

"Your Excellency Rou, I am serving beside the Concubine Kang. Our young master ordered me to come here and ask Concubine Rou to go to Shangxiang Palace immediately. She said she has something important to tell you!"

Shen Zhinian frowned and asked, "Did Sister Kang say what it was about?"

The young eunuch shook his head: "I don't know. But looking at the young master, it seems that he is very anxious..."

Concubine Kang and she have always been on good terms. If there is something really important, Shen Zhinian will naturally not sit idly by: "Handan, help me change my clothes."

"Yes."

Time was running out and there was no time to prepare a sedan chair. Shen Zhinian took Handan and Fuqiu and hurriedly followed the young eunuch.

When he was about to enter a rockery, Shen Zhinian suddenly stopped.

The young eunuch turned around and asked in confusion: "Lady Rou, what's wrong? Our young master is still waiting for you."

Shen Zhinian's fox eyes narrowed dangerously: "I have never seen you in Shangxiang Palace. If Sister Kang really had an emergency, why would she send a little eunuch like you who is unfamiliar to her?"
