Chapter 1178: Xiaoxiao Attacks

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

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

In other words, Madam Ru was not afraid of exposing herself in front of Granny Nie.

Indeed, there was a 50% chance that she would give birth to a son.

But there was also the possibility that it was a daughter.

No, there was a third possibility.

It was a trip to the gates of hell. Life and death were beyond her control.

It seemed that she was very afraid of death. She had to let Granny Nie deliver her child to reassure her.

However, Su Xiaoxiao also believed that she must have a way to control Granny Nie. She wondered what it was.

On the other side, the disciples of the Hundred Flowers Palace, who had been staring at the Heavenly Jade Hall, noticed the commotion.

When it was almost dawn, a guard from the City Lord Manor hurriedly came to the Heavenly Jade Hall.

Right on the heels of that, the Madam of Heavenly Jade Hall got into an inconspicuous carriage with a nanny.

The most skilled in qinggong was a male disciple called Doro.

He immediately returned to the Hundred Flowers Palace to report to the Palace Lord. The other three disciples secretly followed Madam Ji’s carriage and left a secret signal along the way.

The Palace Lord immediately set off.

She had just reached the door when she realized that Ling Yun was coming over.

Palace Lord asked, “Why are you up so early?”

Ling Yun said, “Oh, I want to see the commotion.”

The Palace Lord sized him up skeptically. “When did you like to watch the show?” Ling Yun said calmly, “I suddenly want to.”

“This child.”

The Palace Lord didn’t want to bring him along. She was afraid of touching his sore spot.

However, if Ling Yun insisted on going, she couldn’t tie him up at home.

The mother and son went to the Heavenly Jade Hall first and followed the secret signal to a farm in the east of the city.

“Palace Lord, Young Palace Lord!”

The disciple guarding outside the farm bowed to the two of them.

The Palace Lord asked, “How long has it been since the people from Heavenly Jade Hall entered?”

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

Palace Lord said, “I understand. Find a place to hide and don’t let anyone discover you.”

The four of them agreed in unison. “Yes, Palace Lord!”

The Palace Lord sneaked into the farm.

It was easy to find that courtyard. After all, it was the only one where there were still people entering and leaving at this hour.

The Palace Lord placed him on the roof and went down to walk around.

When he returned, Ling Yun asked, “How is it?”

The Palace Lord told her what he had heard. “There are a total of ten pregnant women and two wet nurses. Those ten people don’t Imow Ji Wanru’s plan and think that they are here to be wet nurses.”

Ling Yun sniffed and said, “They’re brewing medicine in the kitchen. They should be planning to rush the pregnant women into labor. Have you thought of what to do?”

This was a great opportunity to expose Ji Wanru.

However, the premise was that there had to be conclusive evidence. It was not possible to incriminate Ji Wanru with musk.

Ji Wanru could quibble that the musk was not used to accelerate labor but to clean the uterus after giving birth.

Unless the acceleration really happened.

However, in this way, these people’s lives were probably in danger.

Once there was danger, Madam Ji would only protect the young and not the old. In serious cases, two lives would be lost.

Naturally, they had also considered letting Xiahou Qing catch them red-handed the moment the delivery medicine was brewed and fed to the pregnant women.

But that was impossible.

Not to mention that Xiahou Qing would not leave the City Lord Manor at this moment, even if he really left, Ji Wanru would immediately inform the people of the Heavenly Jade Hall to terminate the plan.

Ji Minglou would take action.

The Palace Lord could fight him to a draw, but the commotion was enough to alert the people in the courtyard.

If they wanted to sue Ji Wanru, there was only one way to make the acceleration happen.

The Palace Lord snorted coldly. “I have many ways to deal with a mere Ji Wanru! Why should I sacrifice a few innocent lives?”

Ling Yun said, “The medicine won’t be ready so quickly. You can consider it again.”

The Palace Lord sighed and said, “When I saw them, I thought of Sister. If I really did that, how would I be different from Ji Wanru back then?”

There were things that people could do and things that they could not.

They could use unscrupulous methods on the enemy, but they could not disregard human lives.

She could make it a thousand or ten thousand times harder for herself. She did not want to take the shortcut paved by these innocent corpses.

She said seriously, “Actually, our plan is to crush her scheme and not give her the chance to do a switch to secure the crown prince!”

Ling Yun hooked her finger. “Mother.”

Palace Lord had goosebumps all over his body. “Why are you suddenly so mushy?”

“The medicine is ready.”

The Palace Lord’s eyes turned cold as she flew towards the kitchen.

Swoosh!

The kitchen was on fire!

The chef shouted, “Not good! There’s a fire! There’s a fire!”

He watched as the Palace Lord destroyed all the herbs in the fire and found the remaining herbs in various houses. She threw them all into the fire and burned them.

Jade Pavilion.

Ji Wanru was drenched in pain.

Granny Nie methodically prepared the things for the delivery.

Su Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ruyan had nothing to do and rested on the chairs.

Ji Wanru grabbed the blanket under her tightly. “Granny Nie, how long until I give birth?”

Granny Nie said, “There’s no hurry. It’ll hurt a little longer.”

Ji Wanru was speechless.

This time, it was unknown if it was because of the fall or if her body was indeed not as good as before. It hurt longer than her first child.

Moreover, after hurting for so long, the amniotic fluid did not break.

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

“Madam!”

A maidservant called from the door.

Cai Lian went out.

The young maidservant whispered in her ear. Cai Lian’s expression changed and she quickly returned to the house, staggering. Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows meaningfully.

Had the Mother Palace Lord succeeded?

Was there no way to change the crown prince?

Cai Lian came to the bed and whispered to Ji Wanru.

“What?!”

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

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

It seemed that she could only bet on the one in her womb.

Cai Lian whispered anxiously, “Madam, what should we do?”

Ji Wanru waited for the painful contraction to pass before asking with cold sweat, “Where’s my brother?”

Cai Lian was about to cry. “Hall Master Ji originally wanted to go over and take a look. Unexpectedly, we bumped into the Palace Lord of the Hundred Flower Palace on the way. The two of them fought!”

“Yun Shuang! Ah!”

Ji Wanru cried out in pain.

Xiao Ruyan’s scalp went numb when she heard that. She turned to look at Su Xiaoxiao and realized that she was in a good mood.

She asked in confusion, “Why do you seem very happy?

Su Xiaoxiao tilted her head. “Yes!”

A certain someone’s plan was going to fail. She wished she could set firecrackers to celebrate.

Xiao Ruyan’s gaze looked at her from head to toe. She opened her mouth with an indescribable expression. “I know you’re very happy, but do you want to not be happy first?”

What kind of words were those?

Su Xiaoxiao looked at her curiously.

Xiao Ruyan glanced at her skirt with her eyes.

Su Xiaoxiao followed her gaze. “Granny, I peed!”

Granny Nie said, “Your water broke!”
