Concubine's true colors

Chapter 537 Yu Yan Gives Birth
The medicated bath water combined with the fumigating smoke ignited by the five poisons will cause people to suffer extremely intense pain while drawing out the toxins from the body.

Regarding this point, Bai Shu was by Xiao Jinxuan's side every day, and she was also very clear during the conversations between old man Ding and the others.

So deep down in his heart, Bai Shu, who really didn't want to accompany Xiao Jinxuan to suffer this crime, immediately retreated behind the screen according to what the other party said.

But before Bai Shu could stand still, Ding Yizhen shouted at her:

"Miss Baishu, the temperature of the medicinal bath water Jinxuan used today is indeed too hot. The medicinal effect will evaporate too quickly, which is not conducive to detoxification, so can you fetch some cold water for me?"

Now Bai Shu is the only person serving in the hall, so it is natural for her to do the job of helping old man Ding.

But almost as soon as Bai Shu left, Xiao Jinxuan, who was soaked in the medicine bath, stood up immediately, and then she smiled lightly at the innermost side of the dormitory where she was resting softly:
"Come here, Zhuxin, you will be the one who will replace me in this medicine bath. But don't worry, the water in the tub now looks blue but has no medicinal properties, and it won't make you feel irritated." The pain is unbearable. The master will stay here to help you hide Bai Zhu, it depends on the two of you to stabilize this place, I must leave now."

Upon hearing this, old man Ding, who had been angry with Xiao Jinxuan for a long time, immediately said with a chuckle:

"Apprentice, go and do your own work, that little girl Baishu, if she really finds out something, I'll just stun her out. There is a teacher here in the bedroom, so I guarantee that there will be no mistakes."

Ding Yizhen's martial arts are not weak, and he is a poison doctor. When Prince Rui's mansion was besieged, the other party was able to lead Shen Wenqing and others to break out of the siege.

With this master around, Xiao Jinxuan naturally has nothing to worry about.

But Xiao Jinxuan retreated to the inner room of the dormitory, and under Zhu Xin's service, quickly changed the clean clothes she had prepared in advance. When she came out again, she smiled wryly and said:
"Actually, why do you need to be reminded by the master, I don't know if this will tie Bai Shu and it is the safest thing. But after all, the other party has been with me all these years, and she has become what she is now, because Wen Xin was tired by me. So I still want to give her a chance, as long as Zhu Xin pretends to be me to accept the medicine bath, if the other party has any repentance, you can send her out of the palace safely, leaving a way out for the other party But if she is obsessed and does not regret it, then I can't blame me for not giving her the last chance."

Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan had finished speaking, she had already walked out of the dormitory.

Ding Yizhen, who sent the other party to the door, immediately had a new understanding of his apprentice.

In fact, Ding had already seen that Xiao Jinxuan was definitely not a villain, even if the other party's methods were indeed vicious, and they managed the harem, and they did not cause less murder.

But now seeing Xiao Jinxuan's cold face, the other party said such nostalgic feelings, even Bai Shu's betrayal of the Lord, she was willing to leave a way for the other party to survive.

For a moment, old man Ding really felt that his apprentice had just wrapped himself up too long and too tightly with indifference and ruthlessness. Under the other party's indifference, there was actually an extremely soft and kind heart.

"Apprentice, don't worry, I'll cooperate with Zhu Xin to finish the previous scene in a while, and completely hide that girl Bai Shu. I will leave the bedroom and watch her secretly outside, or if the old man is not present, she can do it if she feels remorse." It’s easier to speak out. You should leave quickly, otherwise when Bai Shu comes back, everything will be exposed when you two bump into each other.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan, who really had no time to delay this meeting, immediately bid farewell to old man Ding, and then quickly walked out of Zhaoyang Palace with Su Qi and a dozen hidden guards who came to meet her.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Jinxuan was seen rushing straight to the direction of Fengxiang Palace, while asking Su Qi beside him:

"In the past two days, you and Wen Xin have been closely monitoring all the movements of Fengxiang Palace. Are you sure that the other party will call Xue Yuyan to give birth tonight and perform the baby change? This is a big matter. If we make a move this time It is impossible to get the stolen goods from others, and the crime of slandering the empress dowager and intending to slander the concubine is not a small crime, and it is bound to be bitten by Queen Xue in turn."

Seeing the seriousness in Xiao Jinxuan's expression, what Su Qi has been responsible for by the other party's side is to secretly investigate and gather all kinds of information, which is what he is best at.

So even if the situation is really serious tonight, even if there is a disturbance in the front and harem, Su Qi still nodded confidently, and said in a positive tone:
"Master, you can rest assured that Fengxiang Palace will definitely have some changes tonight. First, Bai Shu and Zuo Wen's weird behavior, and then his subordinates bribed the little eunuchs outside Fengxiang Palace. Knowing that Xue Yuyan has abdominal pains every day, Occasionally, they could hear each other's wailing. It can be seen that the baby in Concubine Xue's womb was not a miracle from the sky, so the child was not born a few months later, it was obviously caused by man."

When Su Qi said this, seeing Xiao Jinxuan nodded in agreement, he couldn't help feeling inspired, and felt that his deduction would never be wrong, and then immediately continued:

"Master, just think about it, Concubine Xue is in pain like a wrenching stomach, and this pregnancy has been artificially delayed for several months. Even if the fetus can be born, I am afraid that this child will die. You mentioned it earlier. I clicked on my subordinate, and asked me to focus on the aspect of Empress Xue's baby change. However, my subordinate followed Baihou that day, and then visited Fengxiang Palace at night. There is indeed a less than a hundred in the hands of the Eastern Empress Dowager. I am afraid that as long as Concubine Xue gives birth to a baby boy, this child will be crowned with royal blood and become a sharp weapon in Queen Xue's fight for the throne."

Those who have been able to follow Xiao Jinxuan all the way to the present, whether it is Wenxin, Su Qi, Zhuxin Baichu and others, can be said to have their own strengths, and none of them is useless.

In particular, Su Qina was trained by Chi Ling Chi Ying, and he himself is astute.

Therefore, the analysis was not only clear, but also thoroughly analyzed Fengxiang Palace's intentions and ambitions.

As for whether Su Qi's deduction is correct, let's not talk about how Xiao Jinxuan rushed to Fengxiang Palace with all her strength.

But Empress Xue over there is indeed standing outside Xue Yuyan's dormitory. She has always looked calm, but now she can't hide a trace of anxiety, and she looks at Zuo Wen beside her with a frown and asks:

"Why, after an hour has passed, the child Yuyan has not yet given birth to a stillbirth. If you don't say that, Zuo Wen, the baby-eating Gu can kill this thing together with the stillbirth that was hollowed out by it, as long as it uses the special spice you developed as an inducement." Let's excrete together, we don't have time to delay for too long now. Don't forget that if Xiao Jinxuan succeeds Shen Wenqing from the harem tomorrow, she will definitely keep her eye on our Fengxiang Palace again. Don't say anything at that time Replace the stillborn baby with a boy from the blood of our Xue family, and become the little prince. I am afraid that once Xiao Jinxuan finds out, she will have to take the opportunity to eradicate me, the Queen Mother of the East Palace."

In fact, since Xue subdued her niece a few months ago, she wanted to replace the baby.

Therefore, when Xue's niece, who had just given birth to a baby boy, entered the palace to pay respects to Empress Xue according to Xiang Xiang's instructions in advance, and left her child in the palace.

In the past few months in Fengxiang Palace, it has been reported several times that Xue Yuyan is going to give birth, but in fact, it is Empress Xue who secretly wants to change the baby as early as possible.

But perseveringly, every time Xiao Jinxuan controlled it extremely tightly, and it took a little time to ignite it with spices to attract the infant-eating Gu from Xue Yuyan's body.

Therefore, after several months of delay, Xue Hou did not find the right opportunity to accomplish this matter secretly.

With Xiao Jinxuan falling ill, Empress Xue saw an opportunity, but Zhou Xianrui actually started to visit the harem frequently, and paid close attention to the movements of the Six Palaces.

And with Bai Shu, the insider of Zhaoyang Palace, Empress Xue not only knew that Xiao Jinxuan and Zhou Xianrui had never been married, but also knew that Zhou Xianyu actually stayed in the palace every day and never left.

In fact, the reason why the gossip of Zhaoyang Palace spread in the palace in the later period was that Empress Xue deliberately let it out, in order to force Zhou Xianyu out of the palace.

Otherwise, with the other party helping Xiao Jinxuan, Fengxiang Palace would still not dare to act rashly.

So after waiting for so long, Empress Xue had caught the opportunity that Xiao Jinxuan couldn't separate herself due to the medicinal bath. She immediately arranged for Xue Yuyan to give birth, and was going to complete the baby change in one fell swoop tonight.

And after half a stick of incense, when Empress Xue couldn't wait to ask Zuo Wen when he would be able to lure the Baby Devouring Gu out.

But before she could say a word, Xue Yuyan's ear-piercing scream suddenly came out from the bedroom.

But as soon as Zuo Wen heard the screams, her face was overjoyed, and she immediately said to Xue Hou:
"The Empress Dowager must be inside. When the Baby Eater Gu drags the dead fetus away from the mother's body, it will cause great pain. It must be that the Concubine Xue inside must have given birth to the dead baby. Master, hurry up and hug the little prince." Come on, send it to the delivery room as soon as possible, and what you planned will be considered accomplished."

Concerned all the time, Empress Xue, who was put down because of Zuo Wen's words, immediately asked her confidant palace maid to bring over the Xue family baby boy who had been hiding all this time, and then she walked towards the bedroom.

But before Zuo Wen helped her open the palace door, the midwife and imperial doctor who were supposed to help Xue Yuyan deliver the baby ran out in a panic, pale with fright.

When they saw Queen Xue standing outside the dormitory, the attendants, who were still in shock, knelt down to pay respects to the Eastern Queen Mother.

And one of the quick-talking little palace maids kowtowed to Empress Xue immediately, and said in a panic:

"The empress dowager, please spare me, go and see, Concubine Xue gave birth to a freak, it is really terrible. Please let the slaves go away quickly, the servants will be scared to death just looking at it."

Empress Xue looked at Xue Yuyan who had delivered the baby in the dormitory before, now she ran outside the dormitory alone, and knelt on the ground begging for a look from everyone she just wanted to leave quickly.

Seeing this, Empress Xue was not in a hurry to rush into the dormitory to see what was going on with Xue Yuyan, on the contrary, she gave a soft chuckle and sighed helplessly, and said faintly:
"You people, since you have seen something you shouldn't have seen, how dare you expect me to let you go now? Zuo Wen will not leave any of them, and they will all be killed. What happened in the bedroom today, I will never let you go. Allow a tiny bit of it to leak!"
