On the day of rebirth, I took my baby to find Jiuqiansui to recognize his relatives

In the prison cell of Concubine De, the dim light reflected her haggard face, but her eyes still flashed with unwillingness. Jiang Yanwan stepped into the room with steady steps and a firm gaze, but also mixed with a subtle vigilance.

"Empress Defei," Jiang Yanwan's voice was calm and a little chilly, "Although we are not old acquaintances, we have met once. I remember that at your request, I secretly delivered your baby and saved a child that should not exist in the world. Are you willing to remember that favor?"

Concubine De sneered, her eyes full of resentment: "Jiang Yanwan, do you think I will be grateful to you? In fact, that is a bastard, an existence that can never see the light of day. My life is dragged down by such a stain. And you are just a tool I used."

"Your Majesty, this is wrong," Jiang Yanwan shook her head. "I came here today to give you a chance. As long as you are willing to cooperate and give out all the information about the remnants of Prince Jin's gang, I can plead for you with the emperor and at least save your life."

"Hmph, do you think I will believe you?" De Fei sneered, "Even if I tell you, what can you do to Prince Jin? The people behind him have already laid out the plan, and they will make a comeback when the time is right."

"You underestimated the emperor, and you also underestimated us." Jiang Yanwan's tone was neither hot nor cold, but every word was weighty. "If you insist on resisting to the end, then I will have no choice but to act according to the original plan. By then, you may lose not only your life, but also the last bit of your dignity."

De Fei's face suddenly changed, and she suddenly pulled out the short blade hidden in her sleeve and stabbed at Jiang Yanwan fiercely. This attack was extremely swift, but Jiang Yanwan had been prepared, and easily dodged it by moving her body to the side, and grabbed De Fei's wrist with her backhand, forcing her to drop the weapon.

"You are still so stupid. Do you think you can solve the problem in this way?" Jiang Yanwan said coldly, with a bit more severity in her eyes.

De Fei struggled, despair and madness flashing in her eyes: "What I can't get, you can't get either! The entire palace is a huge trap, you will eventually reap what you sow!"

Jiang Yanwan let go of Concubine De and took a few steps back, her eyes complicated: "Your Highness, you are wrong. Everything you do will only make you lose more. Now, you only have one last choice."

De Fei sat down dejectedly, staring blankly ahead. After a long while, she finally spoke in a weak and bitter voice: "What do you want to know?"

"Everything," Jiang Yanwan responded concisely and forcefully.

In the next few hours, Concubine De told her everything she knew about the layout and plans of the remnants of Prince Jin, and Jiang Yanwan listened patiently and took notes from time to time. As the conversation deepened, Concubine De's face became paler and paler, as if her soul was being peeled off piece by piece.

Late at night, Jiang Yanwan stood up and looked out the window at the dark night sky: "We will verify everything you said. If you truly repent, there may be a chance for a turnaround."

After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Concubine De's voice: "Jiang Yanwan, have you ever thought about why you can always walk on the edge of danger, but always escape unscathed?"

Jiang Yanwan stopped and didn't look back: "Everyone has his own way of survival, right?"

"Yes, it's a way to survive." De Fei's voice was full of sarcasm, "Do you know that someone is very interested in you?"

These words were like a flash of lightning that cut through the night sky. Jiang Yanwan's heart trembled, but she remained calm on the surface: "Thank you for the reminder. I will pay attention to it."

Walking out of the cell, Jiang Yanwan took a deep breath. The night wind was a bit chilly, but it also made her more sober. She knew that this struggle was far from over, and the role she played was becoming more and more complicated.

When they returned to Yun Ji's bedroom, Wu Junyao, Zhao Zheng and Yun Ji had been waiting for a long time, and there was obvious concern in the eyes of the three.

"What's the situation?" Yun Ji asked anxiously.

Jiang Yanwan briefly reported the contents of Concubine De's confession, and added at the end: "I hope we can lay our net before Prince Jin makes his next move."

Zhao Zheng frowned: "Prince Jin is a cunning man, we must be careful."

"That's right," Wu Junyao nodded, "But now we have new clues, and it's time to act."

As they talked, the night grew darker, but there seemed to be some kind of power gathering between the four of them, which was the belief in victory and the unspoken trust in each other.

Just as the conversation was about to end, Yun Ji suddenly spoke softly: "No matter what the future holds, I am grateful to each and every one of you. I hope that when our child is born, he or she will be able to see a brighter future."

"We will, Your Majesty." Jiang Yanwan replied with a smile, her eyes full of determination, "We will create a bright future for your Highness and for this land."

The night wind blew across the courtyard, the moonlight danced, and Yun Ji's painful moans seemed particularly heartbreaking in the quiet bedroom.

For some unknown reason, half an hour ago, Yun Ji began to suffer from unbearable abdominal pain and bleeding.

Jiang Yanwan's face was solemn, and she placed her fingers lightly on Yun Ji's pulse, trying to calm her inner anxiety. "My queen, you have to hold on. I will find a way to save you as soon as possible."

Zhao Zheng and Wu Junyao looked at each other. The former quickly ordered the guards to seal off the bedroom to prevent any accidents, while the latter had a serious look on his face, thinking about the possible mastermind behind the scenes. "This poisonous insect technique is extraordinary. There must be a master who secretly did it."

Jiang Yanwan knew that time was running out, so she quickly left the palace and rushed towards the back mountain. Rare herbs grew there, which were the key to removing poisonous insects from the body. In the night, her figure was like a gust of wind, passing through the heavy shadows of the palace and heading straight for the secret place that was not contaminated by the world.

The back mountain was shrouded in mist, and the grass and trees exuded a faint medicinal fragrance. Jiang Yanwan shuttled through it, relying on her memory and intuition to find the precious herb. Just when she was about to touch the life-saving herb, a cold wind blew, accompanied by a slight metal collision sound, and a mysterious masked man appeared in front of her without knowing when, his eyes revealed a cold light through the gap in the mask.

"I am very interested in your mother insect." The mysterious man's voice was low and hoarse, revealing an irresistible power.

Jiang Yanwan quickly stood firm, watching the other party vigilantly, the dagger in her hand quietly unfolded, ready to deal with any unexpected situation at any time. "Who are you? Why do you want to be my enemy?"

"It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that I know you have the mother poison that can control all poisonous insects." The mysterious man approached slowly, and there seemed to be an invisible pressure surrounding him.

"If you want the mother Gu, it depends on your ability." Jiang Yanwan finished speaking, and moved like a spirit snake out of a hole, going straight to the opponent's vital point. However, the mysterious man had a strange figure and easily dodged her attack, and counterattacked with amazing speed.
