Chapter 719

The cause of the matter still lay with Jiang Yuyan.

Days passed one by one.

Tie Xinlan's due date was getting closer and closer.

Jiang Yuyan's pregnancy was fake; out of love for Hua Wuque and consideration for her status as an imperial consort, she thought of replacing the prince with a civet cat.

To be precise, it was a plan to swap the beams for pillars, stealing Tie Xinlan's child to be her own son.

To achieve this goal.

She told Hua Wuque that Yaoyue and Lianxing were locked in the Eastern Depot's secret room.

She understood Hua Wuque too well.

This person seemed cold and arrogant, but was actually warm-hearted.

Even though Yaoyue had harmed him before, she had raised him for eighteen years after all.

In terms of emotion and reason, he couldn't ignore it.

Sure enough, although Hua Wuque didn't want to leave his pregnant wife Tie Xinlan for even a step, he still decided to rescue Yaoyue and Lianxing, unable to bear seeing his two masters suffer.

Not two days later.

Another eunuch came to report that after Hua Wuque rescued Yaoyue and Lianxing, while escaping the pursuit of the Eastern Depot agents, the carriage accidentally rolled into a torrent, and their life or death was unknown.

Hearing this, Li Xiaoyao was worried and quickly went to find Hua Wuque.

This eunuch was naturally arranged by Jiang Yuyan.

Ever since Tie Xinlan "came back from the dead," Jiang Yuyan used the excuse of Liu Xi's threat to let Tie Xinlan raise her fetus and give birth in the palace. Because she had used Jiang Biehe's corpse to dispel everyone's suspicion of her earlier, everyone didn't doubt it, thinking Jiang Yuyan's heart wasn't bad and she was really just a pure and innocent little white flower.

After Tie Xinlan entered the palace, Jiang Yuyan treated her like a sister, not only giving her many precious supplements but also sending the midwife the Emperor had prepared for her own childbirth to help Tie Xinlan deliver.

Because Su Ying, although having superb medical skills, didn't know how to deliver babies, and Jiang Yuyan seemed very reliable, Li Xiaoyao and Hua Wuque agreed.

It's just that.

They didn't expect what kind of tragedy this would lead to.

At this very moment.

Jiang Yuyan first used Yaoyue and Lianxing to lure away Hua Wuque, the highest combat power by Tie Xinlan's side.

Then used the danger to Hua Wuque's life to lure away Li Xiaoyao.

By Tie Xinlan's side, only Su Ying remained, and everyone else was Jiang Yuyan's people.

Dealing with Su Ying was very simple; this woman's martial arts were not high, and Jiang Yuyan controlled Su Ying with just the Mind-Bewitching Great Method.

Actually.

The best way was to kill Su Ying.

But Jiang Yuyan hesitated for a moment and ultimately didn't take action.

Su Ying had saved her life after all; if it weren't for her, she would probably have died long ago.

As for the great hero Yan Nantian, he was still at the border and hadn't rushed back.

It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Night fell.

Tie Xinlan gave birth to a son.

At the same time, Jiang Yuyan was also wailing in pain in her bedroom, pretending to give birth.

The midwife and palace maids she had already arranged, the moment Tie Xinlan fainted after giving birth, the midwife took away Tie Xinlan's child and replaced it with a stillborn baby that had died shortly after birth.

And Consort Yan successfully gave birth to a dragon son.

The Emperor was overjoyed and immediately decided to title Jiang Yuyan as Noble Consort Yan.

Because his other sons were all naughty and dull, not fit for use, the Emperor even had the thought of making Jiang Yuyan's son the Crown Prince.

Little did he know, he was "happily being a father."

When the audience saw this, everyone felt their scalps tingle.

"Swapping the prince with a stillborn, Jiang Yuyan is going to usurp the country!"

"Too ruthless!"

"Awesome! This is a ruthless person who put a forgiveness hat on the Emperor and then let him happily be a father!"

The audience was scared by Jiang Yuyan's earth-shattering handiwork.

Tie Xinlan absolutely didn't believe that the child she gave birth to was stillborn.

Just before she fainted, in a daze, she clearly heard a loud cry from the child; there could be no mistake.

There must be a problem here.

She didn't believe it!

But the midwife, the imperial physician, and even the palace maids all said so.

And the people who could help her... Su Ying was controlled by the Mind-Bewitching Great Method, Li Xiaoyao and Hua Wuque were not by her side, and she herself had just given birth and had no strength in her body.

She was helpless and desperate.

In the vast imperial palace, everyone was rejoicing that Noble Consort Yan had given birth to a dragon son.

Not a single person stood up to seek justice for her.

Finally.

Li Xiaoyao, who had gone to find Hua Wuque's whereabouts, sensed something was wrong and rushed back.

But it was too late.

Because of the pain of losing her child, Tie Xinlan's mental state was almost abnormal.

Su Ying had her memories after the age of eight erased by Jiang Yuyan using the Mind-Bewitching Great Method and didn't remember what happened on the night Tie Xinlan gave birth at all.

The only two who might know the truth were the midwife and the imperial physician who delivered Tie Xinlan's baby that night.

It was as if an invisible hand was manipulating all of this behind the scenes.

Li Xiaoyao found Jiang Yuyan and proposed that he wanted to see the midwife and the imperial physician; Jiang Yuyan didn't refuse, and that midwife and imperial physician had already been coached by Jiang Yuyan and had their excuses ready.

Li Xiaoyao naturally couldn't ask anything.

After Li Xiaoyao left, Jiang Yuyan ordered Liu Xi to kill the midwife and the imperial physician.

At this time, Liu Xi had also defected to her.

These two knew too much and couldn't be kept.

When Hua Wuque returned to the imperial palace, what he saw was his haggard wife Tie Xinlan and his stillborn son who had already been buried.

For a time, he also fell into sorrow.

However, there was no time for him to be sad for too long.

Yihua Palace's Xingnu appeared in the imperial palace, covered in wounds.

It turned out that not long after the two palace masters Yaoyue and Lianxing returned to Yihua Palace, the news that their martial arts had been abolished was spread to the Jianghu by someone, instantly spreading throughout the entire Jianghu.

In the past, Yihua Palace relied on the strong martial arts of the two palace masters to be arrogant and domineering, offending countless sects in the Jianghu.

Now that they were tigers falling on flat ground, these sects that had once been submissive and didn't dare to take revenge naturally wouldn't let go of this heaven-sent opportunity.

Thus.

Those Wuxia sects that claimed to be famous and upright actually ignored the stigma of bullying the few with the many and joined forces to attack Yihua Palace.

Lianxing had no choice but to send Xingnu to fight a bloody path and rush to the imperial palace to seek help from Hua Wuque.

His two masters were in danger, so Hua Wuque naturally wouldn't sit idly by.

He immediately whipped his horse and rushed to Yihua Palace, entrusting Li Xiaoyao to take good care of Tie Xinlan.

And all of this was naturally Jiang Yuyan's handiwork.

The matter of Yaoyue and Lianxing having their martial arts abolished was spread to the Jianghu by her order to Hongye.

This was the reason she had kept the lives of these two palace masters.

Yaoyue, Lianxing, and Yihua Palace had too many enemies in the Jianghu.

Wudang, Shaolin, Emei, Huashan, Beggar Gang, Quanzhen Sect, Hengshan, Taishan, Tang Sect... which sect hadn't been bullied by their Yihua Palace?
