After transmigrating into the book, the prime minister always wants to farm with me.

Chapter 495 Framed
Although everything was ordered by the Emperor, it could never be said openly; everyone should just understand the unspoken rules.

But thinking of the emperor's methods, he gritted his teeth and caught up with Pei Yuanjun.

As soon as Pei Yuanjun stepped out of the palace gate, he saw Qi Yunran waiting to the side and immediately went to greet her.

"Madam, why are you here?"

Qi Yunran feigned a complaint and said, "Why are you only coming out now? I've been waiting for ages!"

At this moment, Grandpa Desheng also arrived.

Upon seeing Qi Yunran, his heart skipped a beat: "How is Your Majesty?"

Qi Yunran looked at him arrogantly: "What's so good about it? It's so hot, I almost got heatstroke here. My husband has been here for so long, can't you come back with me now?"

Eunuch Desheng hesitated, "The Prime Minister hasn't been summoned by the Emperor yet."

Qi Yunran immediately grabbed Pei Yuanjun and pulled her away, saying, "What does the Emperor mean? He summoned my husband to the palace but didn't see him. Let's go back, I'm starving." With that, she dragged Pei Yuanjun away.

Pei Yuanjun looked at Qi Yunran with a gentle expression when suddenly a voice from an unfamiliar eunuch came from behind him: "Your Excellency, the Prime Minister's wife, the Emperor requests your presence."

Qi Yunran and Pei Yuanjun exchanged a glance, and Qi Yunran said with feigned dissatisfaction, "This emperor really knows how to pick his time. He's not as straightforward as us country folk."

Upon hearing Qi Yunran's words, the eunuch and Eunuch Desheng lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

Anyone who dares to question the Emperor is asking for trouble.

This virtuous lady is absolutely fearless. But Eunuch Desheng was thinking of this country girl, who was always vulgar and rude.

However, such arrogance means he's not far from death. After all, it's the Emperor…

The eunuch led Pei Yuanjun and the others through several palace gates, only to find themselves being taken into the inner palace.

Pei Yuanjun's eyes darkened; never before had a man been allowed to enter the harem so freely. A flicker of wariness crossed Qi Yunran's eyes; what scheme was this man plotting now?
"This is the inner palace. Are you sure the Emperor wants to summon my husband and me here?"

Suddenly, a woman cried out in pain from inside the room, and Qi Yunran took two steps forward.

Then the eunuch quickly ran away.

Qi Yunran opened her Eye of Illusion and saw a woman who was heavily pregnant and about to give birth.

She bled profusely due to a difficult childbirth.

Qi Yunran and Pei Yuanjun exchanged a glance. Lou Chen was truly ruthless. Knowing that this beauty and the child in her womb would not survive, he deliberately called them over to frame them.

It seems they can't wait to attack them. The baby in her womb is completely bruised and has been poisoned; the mother has also been harmed. She probably doesn't have long to live!

Sure enough, as soon as they arrived, a squad of soldiers surrounded them: "You audacious madmen, how dare you trespass into the inner palace!"

A moment later, a series of hurried footsteps were heard, and Emperor Lou Chen stumbled over, asking, "Where are my beloved concubine and prince?"

The head guard said righteously, "Your Majesty, these two people have appeared suspiciously in the inner palace, and our guards have also found the missing concubine who is about to give birth to the prince. She is in this cold palace!"

Lou Chen stared at Pei Yuanjun in disbelief: "Prime Minister, you actually kidnapped my beloved concubine who is about to give birth to a prince?"

A group of guards rushed in and carried out the beauty, who was in excruciating pain. The imperial physician immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress has been suspected of being assassinated. She is covered in blood and has been poisoned with a rare toxin. The prince and the Empress may not survive!"

Lou Chen roared in fury, "Guards, arrest these two criminals who plotted to harm the imperial heir! I will exterminate their entire families!"

Immediately after he finished speaking, soldiers surrounded Qi Yunran and the others.

Lou Chen then said with a heavy heart, "I never expected you to be so ambitious and treacherous, daring to come to the inner palace to kidnap and harm my beloved concubine and prince. If I don't punish you with death today, I will be letting down the spirits of my ancestors in heaven!"
