Luo Chen also understood why his grandfather's family did not care about his mother for so many years. However, their father did not disappoint them. Their mother was still as innocent as a young girl, and she still possessed that childish nature.

The old gramps understood that their visit today wasn't just to reunite with one another. There was probably something else the empress wanted to discuss with the madame as well, so she took her daughter to the back.

Luo Chen did not beat around the bush. Instead, she kneeled on the ground and said directly, "I have invited grandfather, grandmother, and two uncles to come. It was Luo Er who was inconsiderate.

The old gramps personally supported Luo Chen up. Their granddaughter was the empress, and the restrictions on her identity couldn't let her move freely. And if it wasn't for Luo Chen, they wouldn't even be able to recognize Rou Er.

"Grandfather, Luo Er's father is locked up in his cell. First Uncle, please take care of him and prevent him from getting hurt in secret."

"Don't worry about that, your eldest uncle can still do this," the old man replied.

The old master was about to say something, but he was swallowed back. His father didn't even give him a chance to show off as he bitterly glared at his father.

"Grandfather, Luo Er wants you to pay attention to the Prime Minister's movements, and Master Song Xinan …"

Luo Chen and the three stewards discussed for a long time before ending the conversation.

"It's getting late, let's go back," the old man said.

"Grandfather, mother has already prepared a room. Let's rest here!" Luo Chen's tone could not help but carry a hint of spoiled child. After chatting for a bit, she discovered that her grandfather's family was really very protective.

The old man looked at his reluctant daughter and his wife, who was constantly emitting a threatening aura, and nodded helplessly.

Luo Chen did not follow him. Instead, she sat in the pavilion and waited for someone to arrive.

"The empress is really scheming," a voice that carried a smile suddenly sounded, breaking the silent night.

Luo Chen got up, and invited her second uncle to sit, ignoring the ridicule at the corner of his mouth. She had taken advantage of the affection of the two old people, so her uncle was definitely not satisfied with her actions. "Uncle is too kind."

"Uncle, who do you think will be the second one to suffer in an accident at the Luo Family?" Luo Chen looked at the moon in the distance and asked indifferently.

"It definitely won't be Shangguan …" The Second Old Master suddenly stopped. That's right, the Emperor's heart was hard to fathom. No matter how loyal his Shangguan family was, they would not be able to withstand being framed. It was because he was too conceited, the imperial court was unpredictable, and no one could say for sure.

Luo Chen did not make a sound either, quietly waiting for him to understand.

"Esteemed Empress, then what do you need me to do?" The second master said in a deep voice, he looked forward calmly, calling Luo Chen the empress, and changing the Shangguan family to me, he didn't want to drag the Shangguan family into this mess.

Luo Chen smiled as she looked at his uncle. "Uncle, don't worry, I won't allow you to do anything. All of this is just to protect the Shangguan family and the Luo family."

The wind of early autumn was still chilly, the Second Master took off his cloak and gave it to Luo Chen.

Luo Chen received it with a smile and chatted with him for a while before urging her uncle to go back and rest. With the gentle breeze blowing, Luo Chen couldn't help but to tighten her cape, her face revealed a silly smile, the salty taste was left in her mouth, making him feel pain in her heart.

Early in the morning, Luo Chen sent her grandfather's family out of the room and fainted.

When Luo Chen woke up, a shocking piece of news came. Luo Shang Shu had admitted his mistake, he admitted that he had surrounded the place, but that family's death was caused by his subordinate not following his orders. The Emperor was furious and prepared to punish Luo Shang Shu severely. The Emperor, knowing that his crimes were grave, requested for a resignation, and the Emperor gave his final approval.

From then on, the empress's influence in the previous dynasty plummeted.

Luo Chen looked at his mother who was trying her best to hold back her tears, and gently wiped them away, revealing a forced smile, "Mother, don't cry, our whole family is still fine, right?"

Mrs. Love looked at his sensible daughter and swallowed the words in her heart. They didn't pity her, the pitiful thing was that she was her daughter. The empress of a weak family, how could she survive in the palace? That was a place to eat humans, just thinking about it made her resent the husband who forced her daughter into the palace.

Luo Chen looked at his furious mother, guessed what she was thinking, and said smilingly: "Mother, quickly go and fetch father. Only by bringing the person back can you freely complain about father."

Mrs. Love was amused. This child was always so sensible, but he still personally fed the medicine to Luo Chen. After she fell asleep, he finally got up and went to receive the study. Mrs. Love looked unwillingly at her daughter who was lying on the bed. Noticing the bruises on her face, Mrs. Love was afraid that she had not slept for the entire night, boiling hot tears were about to come out again. In the end, she turned around and left without a second thought.

Mrs. Love stood at the door, watching the Shang Shu being supported down from under the palanquin, tears in his eyes had long ago gushed out. It had only been a few days, but his hair had already turned a lot whiter.

"Madam, hehe, your husband is fine," the Minister laughed as he moved closer to her and tried to wipe away her tears.

Mrs. Love snorted coldly and went all out. Serves her right, it was to implicate her precious daughter. However, when they saw Shang Shu's trembling body and his forced smile, they knew that he was not doing well. Feeling pained, they reached out their hands to help him into the mansion.

The comatose Luo Chen could vaguely see a few figures, some were of her father and mother, and some were of Lan Er as well. In the end, unable to overcome the medicinal force, she fell into a deep sleep.

"Water, water," Luo Chen weakly shouted.

After a few rustling sounds, a cup of warm water was fed to Luo Chen's mouth. However, Luo Chen felt that something was wrong, she held onto his own arm, how could his arm be so strong? Luo Chen opened her eyes in a daze. With the help of the weak light from the candle, she saw a pair of eyes filled with worry, and upon seeing her awakening, she even brought a gratified smile on her face. Furthermore, there was a straight nose and thin lips.

"Your majesty, cough cough," Luo Chen's voice was hoarse and she began to cough non-stop.

Qin Muyun immediately patted her back to ease her anger.

After going along well, Luo Chen finally had some strength and was about to ask why he was here. A slender finger blocked her words.

"I, I have something that I need to talk to Master Luo about today, and coincidentally know that you're sick. I came over to take a look," Qin Muyun said as he avoided Luo Chen's eyes.

Luo Chen had been in a coma for the entire day, but she did not notice Qin Muyun's unease and trusted his words.

Qin Muyun took the medicine that he prepared and tasted it. It was just right for him to taste the temperature, so he ordered others to fry it for him.

Luo Chen did not refuse either. She could not even lift her hand, and the disease this time was a little severe. Luo Chen who had drank the medicine felt her eyelids grow heavier and heavier. Not long later, she fell asleep.
