Marrying into a rich family by mistake, it is difficult to be a mistress

Xiao Wenxuan's face darkened.

He wanted to keep Wei Yan's child. After all, the timing of the child's arrival would not pose a threat to him, and it was also his bargaining chip to firmly control everyone in the Weiguo Mansion.

The child he wanted to get rid of, he never knew where to start, and the child he wanted to save, was gone just like that.

How could this matter not make him angry!

"Yan'er, don't worry. I will not let go of anyone who hurts our child. All you have to do now is to take care of your health."

After getting Xiao Wenxuan's assurance, Wei Yan nodded with tears in her eyes.

Xiao Wenxuan got up and left only after Wei Yan fell asleep.

After walking out of Wei Yan's palace, he looked in the direction of the palace where Chang Ru lived, with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.

At night, a gust of north wind blew over the sky above the palace.

It is already winter, but the temperature is not very cold yet. Suddenly, a cold wind swept in with severe chill.

The strong wind blew the lanterns in the palace up and down, and many of them fell to the ground. The palace maids and eunuchs were busy checking the lanterns everywhere, fearing that they would cause a fire.

Suddenly, a beam of fire lit up in the night sky, and the silent palace suddenly became noisy.

"The palace of Empress Chang is on fire, hurry up and put out the fire!"

"Put out the fire, it's on fire."

Chang Ru was only wearing a thin piece of clothing, and her personal maid brought her a thicker cloak and wrapped her tightly.

"My lady, we have to escape as soon as possible, the fire is getting bigger and bigger!"

Chang Ru held her stomach and quickened her pace.

The palace was already full of guards, maids and eunuchs helping to put out the fire.

"Your Majesty, please stay away from the palace and retreat outside. The fire is too big and may not be put out in a short time."

"Okay." Chang Ru stepped out.

The howling north wind made her shiver.

"Your Majesty, I have brought you another cloak. Please put on this one as well." A second-class maid in the palace ran over holding a thicker cloak.

Just as she walked in front of Chang Ru, she suddenly moved her hand, and a sharp dagger was seen in the hand covered by the cloak.

Just when the personal maid took the cloak and was about to put it on Chang Ru, the maid who delivered the cloak suddenly attacked Chang Ru!

When Chang Ru saw the dagger in her hand, her face turned pale with fright.

The dagger stabbed towards her stomach!

Just as the arrow was about to penetrate Chang Ru's stomach, a short arrow pierced through the palace maid's palm, and the dagger in her hand fell to the ground.

The next second, several guards surrounded her and restrained the maid.

The palace maid's body suddenly spasmed and blood flowed from her mouth.

"Madam Chang, she committed suicide by taking poison."

"Just die, drag him away." Chang Ru responded indifferently.

After the palace maid was pulled away, Chang Ru slowly lowered her head and looked at her belly.

The dagger had already cut through her clothes at the abdomen. It was hard to imagine what serious consequences would have occurred if the guards had acted a little slower.

The man who assassinated her is already dead.

She also knew who sent it.

Xiao Wenxuan must have thought that Wei Yan had killed the baby in her belly, so he used such an extreme method to get rid of the baby in her belly.

If setting such a fire in the palace could burn her to death, that would be the best. If not, there are other arrangements.

Fortunately, she is lucky.

Also, the guards sent by the Empress Dowager protected her very well.

Just based on the chaotic look just now, it was really amazing that the guard could still tell that there was something wrong with the palace maid.

No wonder the Grand Empress Dowager reminded her more than once to be careful, because there were times when the Grand Empress Dowager could not protect her.

Now, she believes it.

"Xiao Wenxuan, oh Xiao Wenxuan, you are so cruel, do you really want to kill me?"

Xiao Wenxuan attempted to assassinate her at least twenty times.

Later, as the baby in her belly grew older, Xiao Wenxuan's determination to kill her became stronger and he became more unscrupulous.

In the following days, every day was like a torment for her.

……

Chang Ru's palace was burned down, and the Empress Dowager was very angry. She took the opportunity to punish a group of people.

This group of people were the palace servants who secretly defected to Xiao Wenxuan.

Xiao Wenxuan's wings had finally grown a few feathers, but the Empress Dowager took the opportunity to pluck them out.

Since Chang Ru had no palace to live in, the Empress Dowager directly let Chang Ru live in her palace.

In this case, if Xiao Wenxuan wanted to take action again, it would be extremely difficult.

……

Xiao Yan'an personally brought the news from the palace to Ji Chuhe.

"It seems that Chang Ru and Ji Shuangshuang teamed up to get rid of the baby in Wei Yan's belly, which completely angered Xiao Wenxuan." Ji Chuhe said with emotion.

Xiao Yan'an shook his head gently. "They are all his own flesh and blood, but he can treat them differently to this extent. Can people really lose their humanity for their own benefit?"

"Sir, people are different."

"In fact, this time it was very dangerous. The people who rescued Chang Ru were ours, and the Empress Dowager's people were in chaos. Moreover, no one suspected the maid. They all thought that Chang Ru was surrounded by people they could trust. I can't imagine what the consequences would be if we were a step late."

"So, I didn't believe that the Grand Empress Dowager could protect Chang Ru from the beginning. If she could protect Chang Ru, then Concubine Cao wouldn't have gotten into trouble."

Xiao Yanan nodded in agreement.

"Madam, the situation will only become more and more tense. Chang Ru lives in the palace of the Grand Empress Dowager. It will not be easy for the emperor to take action again. However, the emperor will also guard the palace of the Grand Empress Dowager as well as the iron gate. If Chang Ru gives birth to a girl, it will not be easy for the Grand Empress Dowager to replace the baby under the emperor's nose."

"Next, we will wait and see what happens."

"Ah."

Time flies.

With the emperor's strong support, Luo Jixun not only recruited the Luo family's former subordinates, a total of 23,000 soldiers, but also recalled 30,000 troops from the northern border, all of whom were under Luo Jixun's command.

He also ordered Luo Jixun to take these troops back to a place less than thirty miles away from the imperial capital to set up camp and conduct training.

General Nan requested permission to leave the imperial capital several times, but was rejected by Xiao Wenxuan.

The Emperor did not agree to let General Nan leave the imperial capital. Even the Empress Dowager could not make the decision to let General Nan leave.

After Wei Yan had a miscarriage, the Wei family had been investigating the evidence.

Although the people in their mansion have admitted that they were bribed by General Ji's men, General Ji refused to admit it and said that the Wei family was framing him.

The case was handed over to Lu Hongru for trial, but he was unable to reach a verdict due to insufficient evidence.

Everyone in the court today can feel the tense atmosphere.

Finally, Chang Ru showed signs of taking action.

After dinner, she suddenly felt a little pain in her stomach, and the person who served her immediately reported the matter to the Empress Dowager.

"Guard the palace gates strictly and don't make any noise. This has just begun and we don't know how many hours it will take for the baby to be born." The Empress Dowager instructed in a deep voice.

"Yes."
