When Zhen Yuandao saw Yu Rao holding the letter, his heart sank, knowing that he could no longer hide it, he slowly said:

"That day, Father asked you to go to the palace to find out the cause of Yuyin's death, but you refused! Father then remembered a mother and daughter whom he had sponsored in Hangzhou many years ago. Liu Ruchun's mother had died, and in order to repay her kindness, she was willing to enter the palace as a concubine!

It was also a coincidence that the emperor happened to pass by Hangzhou when he went to Fujian, so Ama arranged a poetry meeting for them to meet. The current Concubine Wan is Liu Ruchun, and she has found out that Yuyin's death is related to the Imperial Concubine.

A few days ago, during the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, she found an opportunity to let me go out, and I was bumped into by the imperial concubine's mother, Lin. My father hid in the bushes, but Lin seemed to have heard everything. She asked Wan Fei why she wanted to harm her daughter, but was controlled by Wan Fei and the palace maid Lu Zhu.

I only found out the next day that Lin was dead, so I guess Concubine Wan had something to do with it."

Zhen Yuandao finished speaking in one breath, his face full of guilt, "Lin's innocent death was tragic, and I only found out about it afterwards! I heard that the emperor has confined the imperial concubine, so the matter of Yuyin has been dropped!"

Yu Rao looked worried, "But how could she let the Imperial Concubine's mother die tragically? I wonder if she will find out about us. If she knew about this, based on the friendship between her father and her father, would she let the Zhen family go?"

Yun then felt scared. No matter how many conflicts there were within the family, no one would die. But plotting against the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine would be a serious crime.

The conversation between the few people happened to be overheard by Zhen Heng. He bought some small accessories for his sister at Zhengyang Gate and was thinking of bringing the news of Shen Beile's return to his sister, but he never expected to hear these conversations at the door.

He was speechless. The kindness of the Imperial Concubine to the Zhen family could not be expressed in just a few words. However, his father had plotted against the Imperial Concubine behind her back.

Zhen Heng often went in and out of the harem. He knew that the most favored person in the harem was Concubine Wan. He looked at Zhen Yuan and said:

"Ama, why is this happening?"

Seeing that his son and daughter were against it, as well as Yun's disappointment, Zhen Yuandao fell into deep self-blame for a moment.

So he picked up his pen and wrote a letter to Liu Ruchun, in which he clearly asked her not to investigate Yu Yin's death any further and to make up for his debt to the Imperial Concubine with all his heart.

"Zhen Heng, go to the palace often and find an opportunity to deliver the letter!" Zhen Yuandao reminded.

In Yongshou Palace, Liu Ruchun saw Zhen Yuandao's letter and sneered a few times, "It's too late. Do you think I'm still the little girl who made a living in Hangzhou? Now I'm Concubine Wan, I'm favored by the emperor, and I can have whatever I want in the future."

Lu Zhu is dead, and Zhen Yuandao asked her to give up the mission at this time. This sudden feeling of being abandoned made Liu Ruchun feel so ironic.

"Impossible. The Imperial Concubine and I are enemies. I killed her mother with my own hands. She will not let me go!" Liu Ruchun sneered, as if she was crazy.

She touched her belly, which had not yet bulged, and was proud of herself, "Fortunately, I have a child. If I give birth to a boy, I will have someone to rely on for the rest of my life!"

A palace maid came in with a joyful look on her face and announced, "Your Majesty, the Emperor is here!"

When Liu Ruchun heard that it was the emperor who came to see her, she quickly ruffled her hair to make herself look more haggard.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health!" Liu Ruchun bowed and saluted.

"You are still pregnant, so there is no need to be so polite!" The emperor stretched out his hand and helped Concubine Wan up.
