Su Xiaoxiao noticed that when Mrs. Ru saw them enter the room, there was no fear in her eyes.

In other words, Madam Ru was not afraid of being exposed in front of Granny Nie.

True, there was a 50-50 chance that she would give birth to a son.

But there is also the possibility that the other half is a daughter.

No, there is a third possibility.

It was like walking through the gates of hell, where life and death were not in one's control.

It seems that she is very afraid of death, and she must have Granny Nie deliver the baby for her to feel at ease.

But Su Xiaoxiao also believed that she must have a way to control Grandma Nie, but she didn't know what it was.

On the other side, the disciples of Baihua Palace who had been keeping an eye on Tianyu Hall noticed something was happening.

As dawn approached, a guard from the City Lord's Mansion hurried to Tianyu Hall.

Immediately afterwards, the wife of the headmaster of Tianyu Hall and a maid got into an inconspicuous carriage.

The one who was most skilled in Qinggong was a male disciple named Duo Luo.

He immediately returned to Baihua Palace to report to the Palace Master, and the other three disciples secretly followed Madam Ji's carriage and left secret signals along the way.

The palace master set off immediately.

As soon as I reached the door, I saw Ling Yun coming over.

The Palace Master asked, "Why are you up so early?"

Ling Yun said: "Oh, I want to go and see the excitement."

The Palace Master looked at him doubtfully and asked, "Since when did you like to watch the fun?"

Ling Yunfeng said calmly: "I just suddenly wanted to watch it."

“This child.”

The Palace Master didn't really want to bring Ling Yun along, as she was afraid of touching Ling Yun's sore spot.

But Ling Yun insisted on going, and she couldn't tie him up at home.

The mother and son first went to Tianyu Hall, and followed the secret code to a farm in the east of the city.

"Palace Master, Young Palace Master!"

The disciples guarding outside the farm saluted the two men.

The Palace Master asked, "How long have the people from Tianyu Hall been in there?"

A female disciple said, "They deliberately took a detour and just entered not long ago."

The Palace Master said, "I understand. Find a place to hide and don't let anyone find you."

The four of them responded in unison: "Yes, Palace Master!"

The Palace Master took Ling Yun and sneaked into the farm.

The yard was easy to find, after all, it was the one with the most people coming in and out at this hour.

The Palace Master placed Ling Yun on the roof and went down to walk around.

When he came back, Ling Yun asked, "How is it?"

The palace master told the situation she had gathered: "There were a total of ten women who had just given birth, and two wet nurses. Those ten people didn't know Ji Wanru's plan, and thought they were here to be wet nurses."

Ling Yun sniffed and said, "They are boiling medicine in the kitchen. They should be planning to induce labor for the pregnant woman. Have you figured out how to do it?"

This is a great opportunity to expose Ji Wanru.

But the prerequisite is to have solid evidence. It is not possible to bring Ji Wanru down just by having musk.

Ji Wanru could easily argue that musk is not used to induce labor, but to clean the uterus after childbirth.

Unless the induction of labor actually happens.

But if this happens, these people may be in danger of their lives.

Once danger occurs, Madam Ji will only save the younger ones, not the older ones, and in serious cases, two lives will be lost.

Naturally, they also considered having Xiahou Qing catch the culprit in the act the moment the labor-inducing drug was prepared and given to the women in labor.

But that is simply impossible.

Not to mention that Xiahou Qing would not leave the City Lord's Mansion at this time, even if he really left, Ji Wanru had spies in the City Lord's Mansion, and would immediately notify the people from Tianyu Hall to come and terminate the plan.

Ji Minglou will take action.

The Palace Master was able to fight him to a draw, but the noise he made was enough to alert everyone in the courtyard.

There is only one way to sue Ji Wanru, and that is to make the induced labor happen for real.

The Palace Master snorted coldly, "This Palace Master has plenty of ways to deal with Ji Wanru! Why should I sacrifice a few innocent lives?"

Ling Yun said: "The medicine won't be ready so soon, you can think about it again."

The Palace Master sighed and said, "When I saw them, I thought of my sister. If I really did that, how would it be different from Ji Wanru back then?"

People should do what they should do and should not do what they should not do.

She would rather make things a thousand times, ten thousand times more difficult for herself than take the shortcut paved with these innocent corpses.

She said seriously: "In fact, our plan is to crush her conspiracy and prevent her from having the opportunity to replace the crown prince with a cat!"

Ling Yun hooked her fingers: "Mom."

The palace master got goose bumps all over his body: "Why are you suddenly so cheesy?"

Ling Yun: "The medicine is ready."

The palace master's eyes turned cold and he flew towards the kitchen.

Swish! The kitchen is on fire!

The cook shouted, "Oh no! There's a fire! There's a fire!"

Ling Yun watched as the Palace Master took advantage of the fire to destroy all the medicines, and then searched each house for the remaining herbs and burned them all in the fire.

…

Jade Pavilion.

Ji Wanru was so wet from the pain of contractions.

Granny Nie prepared the delivery supplies in an orderly manner.

Su Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ruyan had nothing to do, so they just rested on the chairs.

Ji Wanru tightly grasped the quilt under her body: "Granny Nie, how long will it take for me to give birth?"

Granny Nie: "Don't worry, it will hurt for a while."

Ji Wanru: “…”

I don’t know if it was because I fell or if my body was really not as good as before, but the pain this time was much more severe than my first pregnancy.

And the pain lasted for so long, but my water didn't break.

Ji Wanru was in so much pain that she wished she could have convulsions.

"lady!"

A little maid called out at the door.

Cai Lian went out.

The little maid whispered something in her ear. Cai Lian's face changed and she quickly turned back to the house, staggering a bit.

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows meaningfully.

Did the Palace Master succeed? Is there no way to replace the prince with a cat? Cai Lian came to the bedside and whispered to Ji Wanru.

"What?!"

Ji Wanru was so excited that she happened to have a contraction and almost fainted from the pain.

Su Xiaoxiao finally saw panic in Ji Wanru's eyes.

It seems that I can only bet on what's in your stomach.

Cai Lian whispered anxiously, "Madam, what should we do?"

Ji Wanru waited until the painful contractions were over before she asked in a cold sweat, "Where's my big brother?"

Cai Lian was about to cry: "Master Ji originally wanted to go over to take a look, but unexpectedly he ran into the Master of Baihua Palace on the way, and the two of them started fighting!"

"Yun, Shuang! Ah——"

Ji Wanru cried out in pain.

Xiao Ruyan's scalp tingled when she heard this. She turned to look at Su Xiaoxiao and found that she was in a good mood.

She asked puzzledly, "Why do you seem so happy?"

Su Xiaoxiao tilted her head: "Yes!"

Someone's plan was going to fail, and she wanted to set off firecrackers to celebrate.

Xiao Ruyan looked at her from head to toe, opened her mouth, and said with an indescribable expression: "I know you are happy, but do you want to stop being happy first?"

What are you talking about?

Su Xiaoxiao looked at her strangely.

Xiao Ruyan glanced at the hem of her skirt.

Su Xiaoxiao followed her gaze and looked down: "Grandma, I peed!"

Granny Nie: "Your water broke!"

Three more hours.

Xiaoxiao: Oh, I’m afraid of the pain! 　　Pharmacy: Leave it to me.

Ask Xiaoxiao for a monthly delivery ticket. Wei Xiaobao is really coming out! 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
