The next day, when the emperor woke up, he heard Su Peisheng talk about the murder of Mrs. Shen Lin yesterday.

"Can you find out who did it?" the emperor asked calmly.

Su Peisheng: "Reporting to the emperor, the maid Luzhu of Yongshou Palace was the personal maid of Concubine Wan. The Imperial Concubine sent her to the Ministry of Punishment yesterday. She admitted that she killed Madam Shen, but the specific reason needs further investigation.

"It's just that I'm very surprised. Luzhu said that Madam Shen insulted Concubine Wan, and she was angry and killed someone accidentally. Madam Shen has no grudge against Concubine Wan, and she would never insult Concubine Wan!"

"You are right. There must be something wrong here!" The emperor drank too much yesterday and still had a headache.

But the Imperial Concubine would be heartbroken after losing her mother, so he didn't care about his headache anymore and ordered:

"Su Peisheng, prepare the sedan chair and go to Tangli Palace!"

Soon Su Peisheng had a sedan chair prepared and waiting at the gate of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity. The emperor put on his casual clothes and got on the sedan chair.

As she was walking, she heard someone crying in the distance, "Your Majesty, I want to see you!"

Only then did Su Peisheng realize that someone was carrying a sedan chair and taking a route that passed by Yongshou Palace. He glared at Xiao Xia Zi fiercely.

"How dare you accept favors from anyone, you little bastard? If the Imperial Concubine finds out, you'll be in trouble!"

"Master, it really wasn't me!" Xiao Xiazi looked aggrieved, and he pointed at Xiao Lizi not far away.

Only then did Su Peisheng notice that this young eunuch who had recently come to serve in the Yangxin Palace was very smart and was deeply loved by the emperor.

"So it's him. Looks like I have to investigate his background. Otherwise, I'll be sold out and count money for others."

When the emperor heard someone calling him, he looked towards the Yongshou Palace and saw Liu Ruchun in her palace dress, kneeling at the palace gate, begging desperately:

"Your Majesty, I am pregnant. Please come to Yongshou Palace to take a look!"

The sound was so miserable that it was unbearable to listen to.

"Forget it, let's go to Yongshou Palace first!" The emperor couldn't bear to see Liu Ruchun kneeling like that, so he asked them to go to Yongshou Palace first.

As soon as the sedan chair landed, Liu Ruchun stared at the emperor with her eyes, as if she saw infinite hope.

"Your Majesty, please save Luzhu. She had an argument with Madam Shen over the child in my belly and accidentally killed Madam Shen!"

After Liu Ruchun finished speaking, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

Su Peisheng had seen many concubines in the harem competing for favor, but this was the first time he had seen someone as good at acting as Concubine Wan.

The emperor picked up Liu Ruchun and asked Su Peisheng to call the imperial physician.

As expected, the imperial physician diagnosed that Liu Ruchun kept the emperor, "Your Majesty, yesterday it was Madam Shen who knew that I was pregnant, so she deliberately bumped into me. In order to protect me, Luzhu accidentally stabbed Madam Shen Lin with a golden fork, but it was an accident, it was definitely not intentional!"

Emperor: "You are pregnant, so don't worry too much. After all, Lin died because of Lu Zhu. In order to give an explanation to the Imperial Concubine, Lu Zhu must die. I promise you, I will leave her body intact and bring her back to Hangzhou for burial!"

"Your Majesty, Luzhu and I grew up together, and our friendship is like that of sisters. Please spare her life, even if it means exile and making her a servant!" Liu Ruchun said, covering her face and crying again.

"No, Madam Shen Lin is the mother of the Imperial Concubine. The hatred of killing my mother is irreconcilable. I am also in a difficult situation!"

The emperor said a few words of comfort, then quickly walked out of Yongshou Palace and prepared to go to Tangli Palace.
