Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne

Chapter 427 Shen Zhinian Launches (Additional Updates after 60 Votes)

Madam Xiao thought for a while and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, Hegang is located in a remote area, and there are no concubines in the palace who are from there."

"But... I heard that Empress Liang's brother and uncle were ordered to go on a tour some time ago to perform official duties in Hegang..."

Tang Luochuan had almost analyzed the ingredients of the snake attractant powder, and then said: "My queen, this packet of snake attractant powder contains several medicinal herbs that only grow in cold places and can often be seen in Hegang."

Shen Zhinian sneered: "De Fei has never personally contacted Xiao Ruanzi, nor has she allowed her confidants to interact with him. Based on the information we have, it cannot prove that Xiao Ruanzi is De Fei's man."

"Even if this matter gets out of hand, after much investigation, it will only lead to Concubine Liang."

"It's indeed Concubine De's usual style!"

Handan smacked her lips and said, "Empress Defei is having a hard time with Empress Liangfei..."

Yuan Bao nodded: "It's normal actually. There are only a few high-ranking concubines in the palace. Apart from the Imperial Concubine, the Good Concubine is the one with the highest rank."

"If Concubine De covets the position of empress, I will certainly not let go of any opportunity to get rid of Concubine Liang!"

"I believe that Concubine Liang has seized the opportunity and will not let Concubine De go either!"

Tang Luochuan looked at the snake attracting powder in his hand with a sinister look in his eyes: "Empress Rou, what are you going to do now?"

He doesn't want to let go of anyone who intends to harm Concubine Rou!

Shen Zhinian simply couldn't imagine what would happen to her and her unborn child if she hadn't already instigated Xiao Ruanzi to rebel, once the Zhongcui Palace was crawling with poisonous snakes...

Concubine De is insidious and vicious, and Shen Zhinian can no longer tolerate her!

She looked at Xiao Ruanzi and said, "You did a great job on this matter. Don't alert the enemy yet. If Concubine De sends someone to ask about it again, just say that you are already looking for an opportunity."

Little Ruanzi said respectfully: "Yes!"

"You go down first."

"Slave, please resign!"

Shen Zhinian signaled Tang Luochuan to hand the powerful snake attractant powder to Xiao Zhouzi, and ordered: "Doesn't Concubine De like to play with snakes? Then I will give him a taste of his own medicine!"

"Once I show any signs of launching an attack, you will immediately sneak into Chengqian Palace and spread the snake attractant powder around Concubine De."

As a result, Defei suffered the consequences of her own actions and had no time to do evil things during the childbirth.

Anyway, Concubine De has thought of a "way out" for her. No matter how they investigate the matter of snake-luring powder, they can't trace it back to Shen Zhinian.

Little Zhouzi took the snake attractant powder and said eagerly: "Yes! I will definitely do this!"

Humph! Concubine De has tried to harm the Empress time and time again, and he has long disliked her!

Last time, only the root of Concubine De's nose was broken, and her crooked nose was healed. Xiao Zhouzi has always been unhappy.

Finally there is another chance to take action!

After this episode, Zhongcui Palace still did not relax its vigilance against Concubine De.

Because no one knows whether this is just a trick played by Concubine De or she has other evil plans.

August twenty-fifth.

There are still five days until Shen Zhinian is due to give birth.

Shen Zhinian had just finished eating a piece of osmanthus cake when she suddenly felt a falling sensation in her abdomen and her stomach contracted slightly.

Nanny Lin and Tang Luochuan had already told her that this was a sign of labor, so Shen Zhinian was not panicked: "...I seem to be giving birth."

Xiao Zhouzi immediately went out with the snake attractant powder!

Madam Xiao said in a deep voice: "Be careful, move the queen to the delivery room!"

"Qiuyue, Xiafeng, go and boil some water!"

"Xiao Mingzi, go ask Doctor Tang to come over!"

"Yuanbao, send someone to report this to Concubine Liang. You go to the Yangxin Palace in person and tell His Majesty the news!"

Originally, the empress was in charge of the birth of concubines. If there was no empress, the assistants in charge of the six palaces would be in charge.

But they don't trust Concubine Liang, so it would be safest to ask His Majesty to come and take charge.

Lest there be any blind person who would take the opportunity to harm the Empress!

Anyway, His Majesty had already ordered that if the Queen launched an attack, he should be notified immediately.

This is an honor that no one else has ever had.

Everyone in Zhongcui Palace started preparing for Shen Zhinian's delivery a long time ago.

Therefore, although she started the operation ahead of time, no one was in a hurry. All the procedures were carried out in an orderly manner.

Shen Zhinian had been moved into the delivery room, and Nanny Lin went in to accompany her personally.

The first birth of a woman is usually difficult and takes a long time. At this moment, she only felt the tightening of her stomach, and it would take some time before she felt the real pain.

Nanny Lin held Shen Zhinian's hand, feeling worried and distressed: "My lady, don't be nervous."

"I have delivered so many babies in my life, and all of them were safe. You and the heir will also be safe!"

No matter how strong Shen Zhinian's heart is, this is her first time giving birth in her past and present lives. It would be a lie to say that she is not nervous.

She took a deep breath, smiled and said, "I'm calm, nanny, you don't have to be nervous either."

……

Chengqian Palace.

Shen Zhinian had just started the operation and the news had not spread yet.

Little Zhouzi climbed up onto the roof silently, walked all the way to Defei's bedroom with his back bent, and carefully lifted a tile.

As expected, I saw Defei sitting below, talking to Qingdai: "I have prepared such a great gift for Roufei, she must give birth to the baby in her belly 'well' and don't let me down!"

Qing Dai lowered her head and smiled: "Your Majesty, the Third Prince is His Majesty's only prince, and no one can shake his position. If someone wants to give birth to a prince... I'm afraid they are unlucky and can't bear such a blessing!"

Little Zhouzi was so angry that the veins on his forehead stood up!

This poisonous woman!

He snorted in his heart, took out the snake-attracting powder from his arms and sprinkled it gently.

After Xiao Zhouzi finished this task, he covered the tiles and carefully wiped off the fingerprints on them before leaving quietly.

Concubine De has always known that Shen Zhinian is very vigilant and that the defense of Zhongcui Palace is extremely tight.

Because of this, the snake attractant powder she prepared this time is colorless, odorless, and effective very quickly.

By the time Shen Zhinian discovered something was wrong, Zhongcui Palace was already crawling with poisonous snakes!

I'm afraid Concubine De would never have thought that what she carefully prepared would eventually be used on herself...

Not long after, a young palace maid ran in from outside and said after paying her respects, "Your Majesty, Concubine Rou has launched an operation, and everyone has already rushed to Zhongcui Palace!"

Defei was about to go out when she suddenly stopped.

I'm afraid it won't be long before Zhongcui Palace is full of poisonous snakes. If she goes there now, what if she gets hurt by mistake?

De Fei sat back in her chair and said slowly, "I understand. I'll come over after I change my clothes."

"Call Li Cairong in to help me put on makeup."
