Soft and crispy waist

"No." Xue Wuyang, who had completely lost the ability to think, answered instinctively.

"The Great Zhou has a clear rule that cult sorcerers are not allowed to enter the country and will be executed on sight. I don't think any sorcerer would risk his life to help Concubine Xue change her gender. Perhaps Concubine Xue has become hysterical because of the thought."

The girl's voice sounded confused, as if she was trying to find an excuse for Xue Wuyang, but it actually pierced the spot that was most difficult for Xue Wuyang to turn over.

After all, even though Xue Wuyang was born in the Minister's Mansion, she was just a concubine's daughter. In this Kyoto city, she would be far behind in terms of seniority.

If what she said was true, why would a sorcerer who had the ability to change a person's gender risk his life to come to Kyoto and take such a risk, instead of looking for a mere concubine's daughter of a minister and a concubine of the crown prince, like her?

Even if he didn't go looking for the concubines in the palace, he should go to the legitimate wife of a wealthy family. At the very least, it would be Wei Qingqing. It would never be Xue Wuyang's turn.

If it’s not hysteria, what else could it be?

Even if Xue Wuyang shouted to the sky, no one would believe her.

What a needle hidden in cotton, it kills with one blow.

Xia Zhengdu took a quick look, but she didn't expect that the girl suddenly turned her head and her eyes met his. Suddenly, the corners of her mouth turned up, revealing a simple and harmless smile.

Xia Zheng immediately lowered her eyes, with only one thought in her mind: this person's scheming and tactics were no worse than Tao Yurong's, and she was even better at disguise.

"Hysteria? Me?" Xue Wuyang began to doubt herself. "No! Impossible! He gave me the medicine, and it's here. How could that sorcerer be fake? This..."

"The poison is real, but the sorcerer is fake. You, a vicious woman, made everything up to murder my son. Now you still want to get away with it? Dream on!"

Mrs. Wei's voice came in like a gust of wind, and when she raised her head, she had already rushed in front of Xue Wuyang.

The slap was so powerful that Xue Wuyang was sent flying three feet away, hitting the sheep-horn stone lamp next to her. The corner of her eye was hit so hard that blood oozed out. She sat on the ground, covering her head, and was unable to get up for a while.

Madam Wei was still not satisfied and was about to step forward when she heard General Wei shouting from behind, "Stop! His Highness is here and will see to it that justice is served. How can you do this without permission?"

Madam Wei finally flung her hands aside, holding her breath, and turned to the emperor, saying, "Your Highness, please forgive me. I only have this one daughter. Giving birth to a daughter is usually like a journey to Hades, and now she's been poisoned by a lowly woman, narrowly escaping death. I can hardly remain calm."

*** raised her eyelids, looked at Madam Wei, who was still filled with resentment, and General Wei, who was suppressing his murderous intent beside her, and said in a slightly softer tone than before, "I understand, General Wei. Madam Wei, don't worry. Now that Qingqing has entered the Duke's Mansion, I will not treat her badly. Anyone who plots to harm her will be severely punished."

The four words "severe punishment without mercy" made Xue Wuyang, who was lying on the ground, struggle to get up and say something.

Before she could struggle to get up, Doctor Wu, covered in blood, rushed out of the house. When he saw General Wei and Madam Wei, hesitation appeared in his eyes.

"Doctor Wu, how is my daughter?" Mrs. Wei hurried forward and grabbed Doctor Wu and asked.

Doctor Wu was so embarrassed that he couldn't speak for a moment.

"Tell me the truth, what's Qing'er's condition like? If there's no way to save her, we... we won't blame you." General Wei said the rest of the words with difficulty.

Glancing at General Wei, Imperial Physician Wu finally turned to the emperor and said, "The concubine was born prematurely in a transverse position, which is why the birth was difficult. Furthermore, the hemorrhage was difficult to stop. Of the two... only one can be saved. If the concubine is saved, she may have difficulty getting pregnant in the future. I seek Your Highness's approval."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wei rolled her eyes and fell backwards. Fortunately, General Wei grabbed her and prevented her from falling.

Gritting her teeth, Mrs. Wei held on to her last bit of consciousness.

If she faints, she won't be able to protect her daughter.

She grabbed General Wei's hand, her nails digging into his flesh, but neither of the couple noticed. They both stared at ***, waiting for her to speak.

According to the rules of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a woman must obey her husband after marriage. Even her parents do not have as much power as her husband's mother-in-law. Moreover, the other party is a prostitute. No matter what choice she makes, the Wei family has no choice but to accept it.

So, they can only hope.

"Protect the emperor." *** said without hesitation.

Madam Wei's legs instantly weakened, and she knelt on the ground and kowtowed in gratitude: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your grace."

General Wei also clasped his fists in greeting and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you, Your Highness."

"We'll always have another child. Qingqing was raised by me, so how could I abandon her?" The Queen reached out and personally lifted Madam Wei up. Without even looking at Xue Wuyang, she said, "Send Xue to the inner prison."

The inner prison is a place where life is worse than death once you enter it, and few people can come out of it.

Most of the things that came out were incomplete and had crazy shapes.

Xue Wuyang wanted to struggle, but Madam Wei beat her so hard that she had no strength left. She was dragged out by two old women like a rag, and she couldn't even scream.

Looking at the miserable figure moving away quickly, Xia Zheng couldn't help but think of when Xue Wuyang entered the door. The wind blew up her veil, and she was so bright as light.

But it was only a few short months.

"Ah~"

A scream of pain that penetrated her bones brought Xia Zheng back to her senses, and her whole body couldn't help but tremble.

Chunzhi's face turned even paler with fright, but when he felt her trembling, he held her a little tighter, and the two of them stood there supporting each other.

Wei Qingqing's screams of pain gradually subsided. After she stood there for almost an hour, Doctor Wu came out with a cloth bag in his hand.

There was no sound and no movement.

I dare not imagine what is inside.

At this moment, her stomach was suddenly kicked, as if the little guy inside was telling her, I'm fine.

He gently stroked the raised area and watched Doctor Wu bring the cloth bag to his mother and open a corner.

Others couldn't see it, but Tao Yurong and General Wei and his wife, who were standing there, could see it.

Mrs. Wei immediately threw herself into General Wei's arms and burst into tears, while Tao Yurong covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes full of sorrow. However, *** remained calm and waved her hand slightly, letting Doctor Wu hand the cloth bag to the nanny next to her to take it away.

At this point, Xia Zheng and others could no longer watch.

On the way back, she and Chunzhi were silent. Even when they reached the gate of the courtyard, Chunzhi still didn't let go of her hand.

"Chunzhi, I'm here, you can go back." Xia Zheng reminded softly.

Chunzhi shook her head, "I...I'm scared."

Looking at Chunzhi's still pale face, Xia Zheng couldn't bear it. "Then you can sleep with me tonight. I think the Queen and the Crown Princess won't mind us going tonight."

Upon hearing this, Chunzhi immediately pulled Xia Zheng into the yard.

After entering the house and sitting on the couch, Chunzhi's pale face finally regained some color. "Today was truly terrifying. Fortunately, you were kind to that maid and escaped. However, I've never seen that maid before. When did you help her?"
