What happened to Xue Yuyan, and the dozens of people who were in charge of delivering the babies turned pale with fright, and they hurriedly ran out of the dormitory.

In fact, even if Empress Xue didn't go in to take a look, she didn't know what terrifying scenes were inside.

But after Xue Yuyan was forced to swallow the Baby Devouring Gu, Zuo Wen had already told Xue Hou in advance that the fetus born by being devoured alive by this Gu was not only mostly damaged by the baby's body.

Moreover, when swallowing the lower belly, the baby devouring Gu is only the size of the thumb cover, as it can't stop devouring the flesh and blood of the fetus, it will also grow up rapidly, and replace the original fetus's position to completely occupy the mother's uterus.

So this is also why the fetus Xue Yuyan was carrying had already been devoured by nearly half of her, but from the outside, she still had a high abdomen, and all the imperial doctors couldn't tell whether her vein was male or female.

Because in the end, she was pregnant with a Gu worm that devoured flesh and blood, and where was there still a baby girl who was still immature waiting to be born. So it seems that Xue Yuyan still has a big belly, but it is impossible to reach the pulse of her fetus.

Therefore, Empress Xue hadn't even entered the hall to see it, just thinking about her niece giving birth to a Gu worm that was almost the size of a baby, and this thing was still mixed in the stillbirth, it was difficult to think of that scene without seeping people.

Even someone like Xue Yi, who has always been ruthless and ruthless, she feels extremely disgusting even thinking about it.

There was a tingling on his body for no reason, so it was no wonder that the people who delivered Xue Yuyan with their own hands were unbearable and fled.

But just as Empress Xue said, the dozen or so midwives kneeling in front of her now, because they saw a scene that they shouldn't have seen, so only when they all shut down, would she, the Empress Dowager of the East Palace, feel at ease.

And the people who were still panicking and scrambling to tell Xue Yi about the terrifying scene in the hall.

They are also regarded as old people in the palace, and they don't understand that Fengxiang Palace is going to kill people.

Especially kneeling at the front of everyone, a midwife surnamed Deng, she was a must-have in Beijing because of her midwifery skills, and even entered the imperial medical department because of this, specializing in delivering babies for palace concubines and palace concubines.

More than 30 years have passed, and there are even hundreds of royal children born safely through her hands, and Granny Deng has been a midwife in the Imperial Medical Department for a lifetime.

And now, seeing that Empress Xue was holding a crying baby boy in her hand, looking down at the others, and said the words of Shicai's order to Zuo Wen to kill them.

For a while, Granny Deng couldn't see where she was, and Empress Xue had obviously planned for a long time, and she wanted to do something on the royal heir.

has served the royal family all his life, even the current Emperor Zhou Xianrui, as well as Zhou Xianyu and Xiangping. In Zhou Tianjing, who went to Yongchang Palace, Zhou Tianhao and the brothers can be said to have delivered babies single-handedly by Granny Deng.

So the temperament is already a little stubborn, and there is an instinctive sense of maintenance for the royal orthodox bloodline because she has delivered so many children.

Immediately saw that Empress Xue wanted to make trouble with the heirs of the current emperor, and immediately she did not kneel, but stood up directly, and asked:

"Queen Mother, Concubine Xue gave birth to a different fetus and it was not caused by our unfavorable delivery. Now you want to secretly execute the old slave and others in Fengxiang Palace, I'm afraid it's not for Concubine Xue's mother, but for the baby boy in your hand. ”

A mere midwife, even if she is old enough in the Imperial Medical Department, she will not be taken seriously by Empress Xue, so she couldn't help but laugh sarcastically, and then looked at Granny Deng mockingly and said:

"What is going to be done in the future, there is no need to explain it to an old midwife like you. You people are not even as good as ants in the eyes of the queen, and you died in my Fengxiang Palace, and the queen didn't think that your blood had soiled my palace, where was your turn to ask the east and the west. Zuo Wen will kill this old woman now and be the first to give Ben Hou, and tell her to completely close her mouth forever after Ben Hou. ”

Zuo Wen on the side naturally took the order immediately after hearing this, and immediately glanced at the henchmen and guards guarding Empress Xue on both sides.

Immediately, more than two dozen guards drew their sabers and surrounded Granny Deng, who was still standing stubbornly in front of Queen Xue, unwilling to say a word of begging for mercy.

But just when Granny Deng, a fifty-year-old woman, felt that she would inevitably escape this catastrophe today, and finally closed her eyes and waited for a head-on knife to fall.

Suddenly, the gate of the courtyard where Xue Yuyan lived was pushed by someone from the outside, and then Granny Deng heard an extremely sarcastic sneer, and when she opened her eyes in surprise.

Only then did I find that Xiao Jinxuan, who is now in charge of the harem, this Concubine Xiao Niangniang, was surrounded by more than 100 guards, and walked in together with Shen Yunqing, who was Zhou Xianrui's concubine.

Immediately, although she was stubborn, but Granny Deng, who was extremely active, saw Xiao Jinxuan coming, and immediately felt that she might be able to escape this catastrophe.

Therefore, without saying a word, she immediately fell to her knees, and immediately complained loudly:

"The old slave Deng gave Concubine Shen Niangniang, Concubine Xiao Niangniang asked for peace, and the two Niangniang were blessed and auspicious. However, the old slave has something to explain to Concubine Xiao immediately, you are in charge of all matters in the six palaces, and now you must be able to see the baby boy in the hands of the queen mother of the East Palace. And this child's old slave is Concubine Xue's midwife, so he knows that this baby was not born to Concubine Xue at all. But the Queen Mother wanted to carry the child into the dormitory, and she wanted to put all our slaves to death immediately. What does the other party want, please ask Concubine Xiao to make a clear decision, and make decisions for us and others, and protect one of our lives. ”

When this person's life is about to be lost, there is no difference between dignity and inferiority, and he can no longer care about the following crimes.

With Deng Maternity taking the lead, kneeling behind her, the people who had just given birth together, knowing that Empress Xue was going to kill them, immediately didn't care whether the other party was the queen mother or not.

They all kowtowed to Xiao Jinxuan, and accused Empress Xue of intending to assassinate them, hoping to get the concubine Xiao Niangniang, who was in charge of the harem, to give them shelter.

And knowing that the people in front of him who delivered Xue Yuyan were actually the most favorable witnesses in Xue Hou's baby exchange, Xiao Jinxuan naturally would not let them have any accidents.

So seeing that Xiao Jinxuan didn't even hesitate, and didn't plan to save face for Empress Xue at all, she immediately waved her hand and motioned to Su Qi to immediately take over the safety of Mrs. Deng and a dozen people.

Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan, who should have been soaked in the medicinal bath and had no time to be separated, not only broke into the Fengxiang Palace at the same time as Shen Wenqing, Empress Xue was simply shocked by this.

But before she could figure out what was going on, Xiao Jinxuan was about to snatch Mother Deng and the others directly in front of her.

Although Empress Xue still couldn't understand why the news from Baizhu was wrong, she couldn't care about clarifying these things.

Because not only did Xiao Jinxuan know that Mrs. Deng and the others were very important, but Empress Xue didn't know that if these people were rescued, they would inevitably correct her for changing the baby.

Immediately, she was also ruthless, and although she was a woman, she was indeed very courageous.

I saw that she would make a decision immediately, in order to prevent Mrs. Deng from saying something unfavorable to her, Empress Xue actually ordered the guards around her to kill her directly in front of everyone.

Anyway, even if all this was seen by Xiao Jinxuan with her own eyes, Empress Xue felt that it was better to stay alive.

If there is no proof of death, even if she kills people in public, it can be regarded as an excesses at best.

As long as the matter of the baby exchange can be suppressed, Xue Yi believes that no one can shake her position as the queen mother, after all, only a few servants in the palace have died, and no one dares to do anything to her because of this.

But although Empress Xue's plan is good, it can be regarded as a decisive response.

But just after the guards of Fengxiang Palace took the two suitable people who were in charge of delivering the babies, they would be in a panic and want to flee for their lives.

Before these guards could aim their bloody knives at Granny Deng and the others again, Su Qi rushed to the front with a group of elite hidden guards, and quickly suppressed these guards of Fengxiang Palace.

After all, the martial arts of the hidden guards that have been passed down to the red spirit and the red shadow, all of them have practiced internal skills, as well as the exercises of the rivers and lakes routines, which are by no means comparable to the harem guards.

Therefore, under the disparity in strength, with the guards of Fengxiang Palace completely disarmed with swords and subdued, Granny Deng's life was saved.

As soon as Xue Hou saw that her side did not have an advantage in force at all, she immediately wanted to catch Granny Deng and the others in her hands, and immediately looked at Xiao Jinxuan with her eyes, and scolded in an extremely harsh tone:

"Okay, you Xiao Jinxuan, the Fengxiang Palace behind this is given by the first emperor himself when he was alive. You are just a palace concubine, and you dare to come to me to spread wild. These dog minions who gave birth to Yuyan were difficult to kill when they were on an errand. Xiao Jinxuan, I know that you are in charge of this harem now, but don't forget that I, Xue Yinai, am the Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou, why do you dare to be presumptuous in front of me. ”

Seeing that Empress Xue couldn't kill people, Xiao Jinxuan, who would even bring out her identity and oppress people, would not be frightened by the other party's tricks at all, and immediately replied without humility or arrogance:

"As the queen mother of a country, although her status is extremely noble, if it is done by the mother, it is unbearable and even affects the royal bloodline. Na Jinxuan is now trusted by the emperor and holds the power to control the six palaces, so she has to take care of this. And Deng Maternity and the other midwives are the key witnesses to whether Concubine Xue is different this time, and the mother killed them in public, isn't this a self-inflicted weakness. And the Queen Mother reprimanded me for being rude, so you'd better explain clearly where you got the baby boy you're holding in your hand from. ”

As soon as Xiao Jinxuan mentioned the baby boy she was holding in her hand, Xue Hou's heart was tight, and now the child was not carried into the dormitory, plus Granny Deng and others testified from the side.

Even if Empress Xue desperately wanted to say that the baby boy in her hand was the child born to Xue Yuyan, she couldn't even convince herself of this kind of lie, let alone have enough convincing power to deal with Xiao Jinxuan.

Therefore, since the explanation is not clear, there is no better way to solve the current dilemma, so I immediately avoided talking about the question raised by Xiao Jinxuan.

And she also made up her mind, that is, she wanted to use her position to force Xiao Jinxuan to retreat, and when the palace gate was closed, as long as she was given time to breathe and come up with countermeasures, Empress Xue believed that she would definitely be able to get through the difficulties in front of her.

"Xiao Jinxuan, you are just a harem concubine, even if you have the right to rule the six palaces, it is not your turn to question the queen. If you want to know what is going on with the child in the hands of the queen, then ask the emperor to ask in person. I don't want to argue with you anymore, don't forget that I am still the Empress Dowager of the East Palace. Therefore, I will order you to get out of here immediately, and I want to see which of you dares to really disobey the will of this queen! ”
