Luo Yan reached out and took the cloak from Luo Lin's hand and said, "Father and mother have a good relationship, and I am very happy to see it!"

Huo Nianyu couldn't help but say, "Our Yan'er is so pretty, the Emperor will surely dote on you like your father dotes on me!"

Luo Yan immediately murmured coquettishly, "Mother, you are mocking me again. I dare not ask for the emperor's favor. He is the king, how can he favor me alone?"

Just one sentence reminded Luo Lin of the emperor's instructions. He quickly said, "Nian Yu, tell the servants to prepare some sacrifices. Don't be careless!"

Huo Nianyu's smile froze on her face. She asked in confusion, "It's not even the anniversary of the elders' death yet? Why are they suddenly preparing sacrifices?"

Luo Lin sighed, "It's not the elders, but the Empress is going to pay tribute to your sister tomorrow, and the Emperor specifically instructed me to be extremely courteous!"

Huo Nianyu's heart suddenly sank. She tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand, and her eyes were instantly filled with fear and anxiety.

Luo Lin noticed something was wrong and asked with concern: "Nianyu, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell again?"

Huo Nianyu suddenly started coughing violently. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and her face turned red from coughing.

Luo Lin was startled and quickly ordered: "Yan'er, go get the palace doctor, quickly!"

Luo Yan did not dare to hesitate and immediately ordered someone to call the court doctor.

After Huo Nianyu's coughing finally subsided, she spoke tearfully, "Master, I just can't understand. Isn't the Empress pregnant? Why did she suddenly want to go and pay respect to her sister? Did the Emperor tell you the reason?"

Luo Lin nodded: "Yes, he said that the Queen has been having nightmares recently. Every time she closes her eyes, she hears Huo Jun'er crying and complaining, which makes it impossible for her to sleep. That's why she proposed to pay tribute!"

Huo Nianyu's fingers, hidden beneath the quilt, suddenly clenched. She sobbed sadly, "I don't know why my sister's spirit went to the Empress to cry and complain. I burn incense and offer tributes to her every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. How could she not be satisfied?"

Luo Lin quickly comforted her, "I understand that Nian Yu is very considerate. Since the Queen wants to be at peace, then take her with you. Since you are not in good health, let Yan'er take good care of her. After all, she has to enter the palace and get acquainted with the Queen first!"

Huo Nianyu shook her head. "How can that be possible? I can't let anyone gossip about me. I have to follow you. Master, don't worry. This matter will be handled very thoroughly. The Queen will never find any fault with me!"

Luo Lin patted her hands: "I knew Nian Yu was reliable. Don't overwork yourself. Take a break first. Leave everything to Yan'er. She was taught by you personally, so there will definitely be no mistakes!"

After saying that, he stood up and left.

After his figure disappeared, Huo Nianyu's forced smile suddenly disappeared.

She frowned and asked, "Yan'er, why did the Queen suddenly want to go and pay tribute to that woman?"

Luo Yan bit her lip. "My daughter can't figure it out either. Why did it happen at this critical moment? Could it be that my entry into the palace has provoked her?"

Huo Nianyu's eyes flashed with intense struggle, and she quickly said, "Yan'er, you go down first!"

Luo Yan nodded, turned around and left quickly.

She knew that her mother had a secret, but she didn't want to get involved too much. Only in this way could she protect herself in the future.

When Huo Nianyu was the only one left in the room, she called her personal nanny to come over.

She whispered, "No matter what, we must stop the Queen from going to the Huo family's ancestral tomb. Find a way to use that chess piece in the palace and have her find a way to make the Queen lose all her arms and legs!"

The nanny frowned and pondered, "This is a bit difficult. It's no exaggeration to say that the Weiyang Palace is now as strong as a fortress. More importantly, the Marquis' wife, who is a skilled doctor, has also entered the palace. With her by her side, the chances of the Queen getting into an accident are extremely small!"

Huo Nianyu glared at her in dissatisfaction: "So let her go to the Luo family's ancestral tomb? Others may not know what's inside, but don't you know? To prevent the truth from being exposed, we can only find ways to stop her journey!"

She took a deep breath and said, "Mammy, we don't have much time left. We only have from now until tomorrow morning!"

Mammy sighed, "I had originally thought of keeping that chess piece to help our young lady!"

Huo Nianyu interrupted without hesitation: "We can find help later, but now the situation is urgent, so we have no choice but to give her up first!"

The nanny responded respectfully: "Okay, I'll do it right away!"

As night fell, the entire palace fell into silence.

After Emperor Sheng An finished his official duties, he heard Li Delu come to report: "Your Majesty, the noble lady Ying in the Jade Palace is feeling unwell and is vomiting everything she eats. I've received the report from over there. Do you want to go and take a look?"

He was stunned. "What did you eat and what did you throw up? Did you sleep with me last month?"

Li Delu nodded: "Yes, you should go to her place two or three times a month!"

Emperor Sheng An did not hesitate any longer and rushed to the Jade Palace.

When he arrived in the hall, he saw a young eunuch running out in a hurry. He had no time to dodge and the two of them bumped into each other head-on.

"Bang!" Emperor Sheng An felt a black screen before his eyes, and his head hit the steps directly.

Li Delu hurriedly shouted, "Your Majesty, please come quickly and get Dr. Lin!"

Not only did Imperial Physician Lin arrive, but the Empress, who was just about to go to bed in Weiyang Palace, also heard the news. She asked in surprise, "The Emperor actually fell? What happened? Was it a serious fall?"

The eunuch replied, "Well, it's said that he got a big bump on his forehead and is now resting in Lady Ying's palace. It seems his ankle is swollen and he can't walk!"

The Queen stood up helplessly: "You are such a grown-up, yet you still fall down while walking. It's so worrying!"

Lin Yiwan came out with some pregnancy-nourishing medicine. "Is the Queen going to see the Emperor?"

The Queen nodded helplessly: "Yes, as his wife, I have to go and show my concern for him, so as to avoid being gossiped about and told that I don't care about him at all!"

Lin Yiwan stuffed the bowl of medicine into her hands and asked her to drink it quickly.

At this time, Concubine Rong also came over, holding Princess Youyi's hand. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and said, "Mother, my father must be in pain after falling. I brought him some very effective ointment!"

The Queen reached out and rubbed her head: "Our Youyi is so well behaved. Let's go and visit your unreliable father!"

A few people walked out of the Weiyang Palace. There were a few maids and palace maids holding lanterns around them, lighting up the way.

However, when she reached the Imperial Garden, Lin Yiwan suddenly heard a shrill cat cry.

She was startled and quickly stood in front of the queen.

But in a flash, a wild cat with a black body bit the queen's neck.
