“Ah… yes, the Imperial Concubine just turned five months old a few days ago.” The eldest lady’s voice was a little hoarse, and her expression became nervous, with alertness in her eyes.

"When I was in the palace, I overheard the palace maids talking about how the imperial concubine's baby might be a boy."

As Jiang Xue spoke, she saw the bushes beside her move, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "If this is true, then this child is the prince who is second only to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and is qualified to inherit the throne."

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, hitting the lady's heart hard. This was what she was most worried about.

Her eyes involuntarily turned towards the bushes where the sound came from, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

Shangguan Jin, when you wanted to use the ink ring to make a deal with the eldest lady, did you ever think that this day would come?

Jiang Xue turned her gaze to the two golden carps in the pond, her lips curled up slightly. She gently sprinkled some fish food, and watched the two fish that had been living in peace fight for food, and a ripple appeared in her heart.

Shangguan Jin, and the child in Imperial Concubine Mo Ying's belly who might change everything, it seems like a good show is about to begin.

Because she was protected by the emperor, the eldest lady could not do anything to Jiang Xue; and when she learned that Mo Ying might be pregnant with the prince, she could not concentrate. After a few words, she found an excuse and left in a hurry, leaving Jiang Xue alone in the pavilion.

"Well, next..." Jiang Xue felt a little bored, so she stood up and looked at the bushes that had just made the noise. With a smile on her face, she raised her voice and said, "Second Miss Mo, although the weather is not hot now, there are still many bugs in the bushes. Why don't you come out and sit for a while?"

Mo Huan's body suddenly stiffened. The woman actually knew that she was hiding here.

After being stunned for a moment, she slowly stood up, her legs numb from squatting for a long time.

Although the eldest lady agreed to cooperate with her, she deliberately let her hide in the mosquito-infested bushes instead of behind the more secluded rocks.

At this moment, her hands and feet were covered with redness and swelling from mosquito bites. They were itchy and painful, which was really annoying.

"Since you know I'm here, you must also know why I'm here." Mo Huan walked to the front of the pavilion, facing the calm Jiang Xue, and waved his hand gently. Several dark shadows appeared from behind.

"Princess Changle, please forgive me, I have to do this." Mo Huan said.

At this time, Jiang Xue still had scars on her hands and there was no one to protect her. This was a perfect opportunity to capture her.

Thinking that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still waiting for her to bring back news, Mo Huan didn't want to disappoint him again.

"It seems that the Prince's Mansion has recruited many talented people recently." Jiang Xue's eyes swept across the black-clothed men who exuded a familiar smell of medicine, and said softly: "Feng Qiyuan has obviously learned about my presence in Hu Yin."

Jiang Xue stood up, tightened her gloves, and her eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Now the situation is getting tricky. She thought about it in her mind, and her eyes were fixed on a few people who smelled particularly strong of drugs.

The power of these alchemists far exceeds that of ordinary people. She is not known for her strength and her martial arts are not top-notch. If they attack together, she might find it difficult to resist.

Her only hope is to use her speed and the pair of gloves left to her by her master.

Before leaving, the master warned her: "Your Kung Fu is only second-rate, and you may not be able to compete with a real master. This pair of gloves made of ice silk may be able to help you in a critical moment."

Recalling his master's serious yet concerned look, Mo Huan felt a warm feeling in his heart.

Looking down at her hands, she was still a little unsure about the function of the gloves.

But there was no time to think about it at this time. Mo Huan remained silent and slowly lowered his raised arms. Then the men in black rushed towards Jiang Xue like arrows.

It's so fast.

The speed of those people is beyond imagination and ordinary people can't compare to them at all.

Jiang Xue didn't even see their movements clearly. She only saw a few black shadows flash by, and then a few enlarged faces appeared in front of her.

The sound of the sword being unsheathed was sharp and piercing, and a cold light flashed in the air, heading straight for Jiang Xue.

She had nothing in her hands, so in desperation she could only raise her hands in front of her to block.

Using her flesh and blood to fight against cold weapons was simply seeking death. Her hand was almost cut off.

Mo Huan watched all this from the side and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It's over."

But at this moment, a crisp sound of metal collision was heard.

Mo Huan opened his eyes wide in surprise, looking at the scene in disbelief. Jiang Xue actually blocked the opponent's attack with her hands and was unharmed.

How is this possible? The weapons in the hands of these Taoists are so sharp that they can cut through iron like mud.

Why can't even such a sharp weapon hurt a woman's hand?

It turns out that all this is thanks to the pair of ice silkworm gloves.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiang Xue quickly jumped up, tapping her toes lightly on the swords of the Taoists, using the force to leap up, and landed lightly on the screen wall not far away.

The sunlight shining from behind outlines her slender figure, and she seems to be surrounded by golden light, making her look particularly charming.

It seems that what the master gave me is really a life-saving magic weapon at the critical moment.

With the protection of this pair of gloves, even if the injuries on her hands have not fully recovered, it will not hinder her from displaying her skills.

For these Taoists...

She raised her eyebrows slightly, pulled out a bamboo flute from her waist, and slowly put it to her lips. Although she was no match for these warriors in close combat, she had more skills than that.

The clear and melodious sound of a flute was then heard, and soon, a rustling sound was heard in the grass around.

Mohuan looked at the ground in horror, and saw countless scorpions, insects, ants and poisonous snakes rushing towards them, making her face pale with fright.

This place was chosen just right, and it was surrounded by various small creatures, which greatly facilitated her plan. As the flute sound continued to change, it seemed to be directing these creepy little creatures forward.

Suddenly, the tune became sharp and rapid, as if sending out an attack signal. Immediately, the group of snakes and scorpions rushed towards the Danshi standing with a knife like a tide.

Even though these people were highly skilled in martial arts, they would find it difficult to withstand such a sudden attack.

In a flash, they were surrounded by layers of enemies, and only their terrified eyes were barely recognizable.

Mo Huan covered her mouth and fell to the ground, desperately retreating until her back was against the stone wall with no way to escape. The scene before her was too cruel, so she couldn't even scream.

When a snake crept up to her feet, she instantly lost consciousness due to fear.

"Xiaoxue." Xiao Zhan's voice was gentle but firm. He appeared from behind a rock and looked at her tenderly.

He didn't care about the soldiers whose faces were unrecognizable after being bitten by snakes and scorpions. There was only Jiang Xue in his eyes.

“You’re here,” she responded, and stopped playing.
