My wife kills me because she has me in her heart!

The head was ferocious and bleeding from seven holes.

Because of the dust, the blood and mud were mixed together. Before death, his face was scratched, making it impossible to recognize his original appearance. Only those cloudy eyes were unwilling to open wide, refusing to close their eyes.

The others did not dare to look further, but Yan Conling recognized it at a glance as the old nanny beside Queen Wu.

He turned out to be a tree demon with good moral character.

In this way, there is an explanation for the locust tree that belonged to the Yao family back then.

She gave him a gentle kick, and the head instantly turned into blood-red powder and scattered in the night wind.

"How dare you pretend to be one? Take the remaining torso and burn it at the gate. Then chop off a rooster, and the blood will drip on the threshold."

The servants acted quickly.

After losing another capable general, Empress Wu was bleeding with distress, but she did not dare to show it on her face. He could only watch as Yan Conling chopped the tree spirit into several pieces.

She thought she could hide it.

But I didn't expect that those roots in the ground had been broken long ago.

After dealing with the tree spirit, the cold feeling around him instantly dissipated a lot. At most, others didn't feel that cool, but for Zhou Ningzhu, who was giving birth inside, it was a big relief.

The last time we met, she was wearing a gorgeous dress and a beaded crown, and she looked arrogant.

Now it is like a flower that has lost its moisture, lying there pale and fragile. He was wearing no clothes or shoes, and his long hair was wet and tangled with sweat.

Seeing Yan Congling come in, he turned his face away as if he couldn't bear to be exposed like this in front of him.

Yan Conling didn't care what her reaction was.

His eyes only fell on her round and exposed belly.

Compared with ordinary pregnant women, it is larger, like a melon that is about to ripen and fall to the ground. Zhou Ningzhu, who was born on the other hand, was petite and slender, with a thin belly that was stretched out and turned white, and she looked a bit scary.

When her cold palm touched it, the other person trembled slightly.

Sweating even more.

Empress Wu and her party acted with deadly intent.

Without that peace talisman, it would be like stepping half-foot into the door of death. There was a faint gray air in the corners of Zhou Ningzhu Yintang's eyes.

"Hurry up and ask your Highness to invite Dr. Bai Shu!"

He pushed the personal maid who was still wiping away tears and looked at the woman on the couch who could barely hold back the ginseng slices in her mouth and was clearly taking in too much air and not letting out too much. Yan Conngling knew deep down in his heart that even Bai Shu could not save him this time.

If the child was normal, there would still be something that could be done, but this child had evil spirits when he was aborted.

Now it's like a hook to open the door.

It's not that the evil spirit cannot be eliminated, but that this child is the source of the evil spirit.

She checked it carefully.

Yan Conling didn't know anything about treating illnesses and delivering babies. But walking on the edge of life and death for many years has made her very clear about the state of people.

Evil energy invades the bones and penetrates into the heart. The child and the mother can only save one at most today.

"Miss."

Taking out a dark pill from the Qiankun bag, Yan Conngling lowered his body and asked, "One of these two pills can give you the strength to give birth to this child, but it will overdraw all your vitality. The other one is for It removes evil spirits and protects life."

The lamp was dim, illuminating the glistening trace of tears falling from the end of the woman's eyes. She didn't have the energy to speak, but her eyes made her choice silently.

Yan Conling paused slightly, "Your Majesty... I will have children in the future."

She is a shrewd person, with clear calculations, and she even dares to seek skin from a tiger, so she cannot fail to know this. The position of crown princess that she had worked so hard to achieve should not end like this.

The person on the couch didn't respond. As the candlelight flickered, Yan Conngling sighed softly and fed the medicine into her mouth.

The effect was quick, and at the cost of life, Zhou Ningzhu's originally lax pupils regained focus.

"The Baishu girl is here!"

The woman in a plain skirt hurried in carrying a medicine box. Yan Conling took two steps back, and the hem of her clothes suddenly tightened, and she was held tightly by slender hands.

She subconsciously turned sideways, and the light that had been blocked behind her fell into the woman's eyes.

Zhou Ningzhu finally had the strength to speak now and looked calmer than usual. While cooperating with Bai Shu, she stared at the girl in front of her and said, "Miss Yan, I have a request, please come closer."

You don't need to think about the request at this time to know that it is probably related to Tuogu.

The child still has a father, and it is not her turn as an outsider to intervene. But seeing the pleading in her eyes, Yan Conling still followed her and half-crouched down.

Forget it, let’s listen first.

Zhou Ningzhu's soft hands were still holding the collar. Zhou Ningzhu was sweating profusely. Her voice in her ear was so low that she said, "Help me hand over the child... to the Seventh Prince..."

The Seventh Prince?

Yan Conling was stunned.

She should have guessed that Queen Wu had a problem, but why the Seventh Prince?

The biological father and the prince are still alive, how can they be handed over to others?

Without waiting for a response, Zhou Ningzhu held her hand tighter, her knuckles turning white. The midwife next to her had a confused voice, and kept shouting for her to work hard.

"Let me beg you..."

Her voice was weak, and there was a scorching light in her eyes, "If you can't pay it back in this life, you will definitely pay it back in the next life..."

After a while, Yan Conngling nodded.

"Okay, I promise, empress."

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the baby's loud cry cut through the night outside the window.

"Born! Born!"

"He's a little prince!"

The midwives all looked happy and quickly fetched the embroidered blankets prepared in advance.

At dawn, the candlelight became fainter. Yan Conling took the child and carried it to her mother.

"She's a daughter. She should look like you when she grows up."

"Yeah." Zhou Ningzhu only glanced at it, and her pupils began to blur again. She gently stroked the child's face, then reluctantly looked away, letting the midwives carry the child out.

"This is the only stupid thing I have done in more than ten years."

But I'm afraid there are only a few opportunities to choose.

"Do you know why I didn't like you before?"

She asked suddenly, and Yan Conling almost didn't recover, "I know, it's because of His Highness the Crown Prince." At this moment, there was nothing she could not say.

Zhou Ningzhu stared at her for a moment, then laughed suddenly, "It seems you don't know yet."

what do you know?

Yan Conling didn't quite understand.

"You must be very confused, there are so many concubines in the East Palace that you can't even count them on two hands and feet, why I only target you."

Zhou's face has soft outlines, and she looks like Zhou Ningyu five times when she smiles. Yan Conling's eyelids twitched suddenly, and she suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

Her panic made the other party's lips raise even higher, and he took action to break the secret glass jar, "There is a portrait hidden in the secret compartment in His Highness's study, and the person in the painting is you..." …”

Pushing her hand away, Yan Conling stood up quickly and said, "I may have seen it wrong."

Zhou Ningzhu didn't speak again, her hand hanging down weakly.

Did they get it wrong... Both of them knew it well.

The first ray of morning light penetrated into the window pane, causing the candlelight reflected in her eyes to gradually dim.

The light of dust will dissipate.

"I hope...she can be freer and have more choices than me..."
