Back to the day I married my second wife, I turned around and married my ex-husband's uncle

The spring rain and thunder roared, tearing the darkness apart like a wild beast.

In Yongning Palace, Concubine Rong suffered from nightmares again and again.

When the emperor heard the news, he rushed to Yongning Palace in the heavy rain late at night and asked, "What happened to my beloved concubine?"

Qin Wenli quickly stood up and saluted, "Father, the imperial physician said that the recent frequent thunderstorms have made Mother feel uneasy, which is why she has been having nightmares."

Hearing this, the Emperor quickly grasped Concubine Rong's hand and held her in his arms, "Don't be afraid, my dear. I'm with you."

"The imperial physician said you're about to give birth, so please relax and give birth to the baby safely."

He has already lost the Wu Qu star and cannot lose this lucky star again.

The scene of the unification of the world that Jinghong Pavilion saw that day made him dream about it. If he could get the blessing star to bring prosperity to the country of Ning, it would be the help of God, and the day of the unification of the world would come sooner.

Concubine Rong nodded and leaned in the emperor's arms, still in shock.

The deafening thunder seemed to swallow her up, and the baby in her belly was also restless and made a lot of noise, as if it was also feeling uneasy.

……

The next morning, the rain had not stopped.

Jiang Ningwan hurried into the palace to accompany her aunt.

Not long after, the emperor came out of court and came to visit Concubine Rong.

Holding Concubine Rong's hand, he said, "My beloved, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory reported today that there are unusual celestial phenomena. We are worried that the lucky star will not be born safely."

"I have decided that, to demonstrate my sincerity, I will go to Huian Temple with my mother to pray and fast for seven days, praying for the child's safe birth."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan's eyes darkened.

"Fasting for seven days? But I will probably give birth in these few days. Won't Your Majesty accompany me?" Concubine Rong nervously pulled the emperor's hand.

"Don't worry, my beloved concubine. The Queen is still in the palace and will do everything she can to protect your unborn child."

Hearing this, Concubine Rong felt even more uneasy.

Wouldn't it be even more dangerous if the queen was the only one left in the palace?

"emperor……"

The Emperor patted her hand. "I have already made my decision. Wen Li and Jiang Ning Wan will accompany you. The doctors at the Imperial Hospital are ready to be dispatched at any time. You can rest assured."

"Wait until I come back!"

Huian Temple is a royal temple, so there is no need for too much preparation. The emperor and the empress dowager set off for Huian Temple early the next morning.

Fasting and praying.

Only the queen was left in the palace.

As her aunt was about to give birth, Jiang Ningwan stayed by her side in Yongning Palace.

Everyone was on edge.

On the third day after the Emperor and the Empress Dowager went to Huian Temple, Concubine Rong's stomach started to turn bad.

"It hurts so much..." Concubine Rong cried out in pain.

The midwife squatted at the corner of the bed, "My Lady, please push harder!"

Jiang Ningwan stood by and wiped the sweat from Concubine Rong's forehead with a handkerchief.

Concubine Rong held her hand tightly, using all her strength and in great pain.

Qin Wenli wandered anxiously behind the screen, feeling uneasy as he listened to the noise inside.

"The fetus is a little big, don't relax, ma'am, try harder!"

The veins on Concubine Rong's forehead bulged, her hair was soaked with sweat, and the cloth she was biting was almost bleeding.

Jiang Ningwan was extremely anxious, but she had no experience in delivering babies, so she could only ask urgently, "Has the imperial physician not arrived yet?"

Qin Wenli came to his senses and immediately ran out of the room, shouting, "Why hasn't the imperial physician come yet?"

There were several imperial doctors staying in Yongning Palace at all times during the past two days, but when the baby was born, not a single one of them was there.

The palace maid came running over, "Your Highness, there's been a sudden fire in the Imperial Hospital! The doctors are locked inside and can't get out!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Wenli's face suddenly changed. He knew that it would not be so smooth!

He immediately took people to the Imperial Hospital.

As soon as Qin Wenli left, footsteps were suddenly heard outside, and then the queen entered the room.

Standing behind the screen, he asked, "How is Concubine Rong? Can she give birth?"

The midwife said anxiously, "No, the fetus is too big, and the imperial concubine is having a difficult delivery!"

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed across the Queen's eyes, and she feigned anxiety, "How can this be possible! The Emperor and the Queen Mother went to Huian Temple to fast and pray for this child! We must ensure the child's safe birth!"

"have you understood!"

The two midwives in the room felt nervous. This was what it meant to sacrifice the older to save the younger...

"yes!"

Soon, Zheng Mingyi's voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine has been unable to give birth because of an evil star. If the evil star is not eliminated, the lucky star will not come to the world!"

Hearing this, the Queen looked serious, "Who is the evil star?"

Zheng Mingyi said sternly: “Jiang Ningwan!”

"I've looked at her birth chart. Born in July, the Yin energy is concentrated, which is the evil star that collides with the lucky star. It must be conquered by fire at noon under the scorching sun, otherwise both Concubine Rong and the child will be in danger!"

Hearing this, the queen's expression became serious.

"Someone, arrest Jiang Ningwan."

Hearing the guards rushing towards the room, Jiang Ningwan immediately stood up and walked out, "I'll be right out!"

"No one is allowed to disturb Concubine Rong during her labor!"

Concubine Rong looked at Jiang Ningwan as she left with a pale face, filled with worry, "Ningwan! Ningwan!"

"Aunt, I'm fine."

Jiang Ningwan said something comforting and then walked out of the room.

The Queen also came out, her expression serious but helpless, "Jiang Ningwan, I'm not targeting you."

"But now that Concubine Rong is unable to bear a child, we can't have two deaths, right?"

"The Emperor has issued a strict order that the child must be born safely. This palace has no other options! Before noon, I must eliminate the evil star. Only then can the imperial concubine and the child survive!"

"Master Zheng, I'll leave this matter to you!"

Zheng Mingyi immediately accepted the order, "Yes!"

The guards immediately stepped forward, held Jiang Ningwan's shoulders, and escorted her to the square outside Taiming Palace.

On the way, we saw many patrolling imperial guards. The entire inner palace had been controlled by Zhou Lin's men.

An altar-like arrangement had been set up in the center of the square, with dry firewood scattered across the ground.

Everything is prepared so completely, the trap set today is to kill her.

Jiang Ningwan was tied to a wooden pillar and surrounded by a large amount of dry firewood. The guards next to her held torches, waiting for the order to light the firewood.

It rained last night and the weather is clear today. Zheng Mingyi looked up at the sky from time to time, waiting for noon to come.

Jiang Ningwan scoffed lightly, "You want to burn me alive in the palace? You're really too bold."

Zheng Mingyi snorted coldly: "If the evil star is not eliminated, the concubine's child will be difficult to be born!"

"To ensure the arrival of the lucky star, I have no choice but to resort to this desperate measure. If the emperor punishes me, I am willing to die!"

Zheng Mingyi's righteous look just makes people laugh.

"What's more, I have calculated your birth date and it conflicts with the child in Concubine Rong's belly. This is the evidence. The Emperor will spare my life for the sake of my luck."

After all, the emperor has already firmly believed in the so-called lucky star, so killing Jiang Ningwan in order to ensure the birth of the lucky star is understandable.

Jiang Ningwan narrowed her eyes slightly and smiled coldly: "How do you know whether my birth date and time are true or false?"

Zheng Mingyi snorted coldly: "Your birth date and time were given by Ling Chaowen, how could it be false?"

"You never thought that you would die at the hands of your loved ones."

The midday sun became dazzling. Zheng Mingyi took the torch from the guard and said with a smile, "This fire was lit by Ling Chaowen."

"If you die with regret, then seek revenge on him."

As he spoke, Zheng Mingyi threw the torch onto the firewood.

The flames spread rapidly.
