Xiao Juan slowly explained his guess.

"Back then, the Empress and Imperial Concubine Yue were pregnant at the same time. No matter which of them gave birth to the prince, the Wen family's status would improve. But in the end, none of their children was born."

"Imperial Concubine Yue's child was poisoned to death by Noble Consort Shu. What about the Empress? At that time, Noble Consort Shu was just an ordinary concubine. The power of the harem was still in the hands of the empress. With Noble Consort Shu's ability, it's impossible for her to harm the child in the empress's stomach."

Yu Niaoniao was entranced.

She really wanted to know. In the end, what caused the empress to lose her child?

Xiao Juan saw that she had come out of her distracted state and that there was light in her eyes again, so he continued.

"There's also Lo Pingsha's father, Luo Heng. He was a Vice Commissioner of the

Imperial Hospital when he was alive and his medical skills were superb."

"The Empress and Imperial Concubine Yue were pregnant at the same time. It was impossible for Luo Heng to only treat Imperial Concubine Yue and not care about the Empress. In the end, their children could not be saved. After that, Luo Heng committed suicide at home. Not only that, but he had burned all the records of the pulse cases when he was alive."

"If it were just because of Imperial Concubine Yue's death, Luo Heng would not have done this. After all, Noble Consort Shu was only an ordinary concubine at that time."

"As the Vice Commissioner of the Imperial Hospital, he had been in the palace for many years. It was not that he did not have the ability to protect himself."

"There had to be something about the empress. Luo Heng knew who had harmed the child in the empress's stomach. It was because he knew who it was that he was even more afraid. He knew that he definitely could not live, so he chose to commit suicide and burn all the pulse cases."

"He even left a suicide note, reminding his son not to investigate the truth."

"Think about it. Who could have planted someone in the Fengyi Palace to kill the Empress's child and make the Vice Commissioner of the Imperial Hospital, who had seen many storms, give up resisting and die?"

Yu Niaoniao followed his train of thought and quickly thought of a figure.

She gasped involuntarily.

"That's his own flesh and blood. How could he bear to do it?"

Xiao Juan said, "So what if they're biological? In the face of royal power, even biological father and son can become enemies."

Yu Niaoniao was still puzzled. "But how did Noble Consort Shu know about this?"

"You should think in this way: Why was Noble Consort Shu able to kill Imperial Concubine Yue and her son so smoothly?"

"It would be fine if Noble Consort Shu was really smart. But it was obvious from her attitude towards you and me that she was actually not that smart."

"A not-so-smart person could quietly kill the extremely favored Imperial Concubine Yue. Someone must have secretly helped Noble Consort Shu. The person who would help her was probably the emperor."

"It was also because Noble Consort Shu knew this that she used this to threaten the emperor. In the end, the emperor killed her."

After hearing Xiao Juan's analysis, Yu Niaoniao had a new question.
