Although summer was hot, it was a rainy season.
Duan Chengxuan and his group of people sat down at a nearby inn, but no one was aware of their hidden identities. While processing official documents every day, they had to take advantage of the night sky to fly over the walls, and only then would they be willing to fall asleep after taking a look at Gu Yingyan.
Even so, Hong Xiao had his eyes fixated on Wu Qing in the depths of Duan Chengxuan's eyes. He couldn't help but open his mouth and say, "That Your Highness is about to come. Even if he doesn't sleep well every night, it should be normal."
"But I can't stay by my side." Duan Chengxuan put down the letter in his hand, then his hands pressed onto the center of his brows as he said in exhaustion, "Maybe it's a good thing that I'm going to seize the throne, besides Duan Chengrui."
"It's not too late now." Hong Xiao quickly said.
"She will not be a caged bird, nor will she like the struggle of the court." "I'm only worried that her current body will be able to hold on. If it's possible, then once she recovers, I'll accompany her to travel the entire world, and it wouldn't be a bad idea to live a carefree life."
Hong Xiao and his subordinates were actually pleased.
If Navy Tide no longer had the King Jing, who could shake the world with his achievements, then the days of his subordinates would be safer. Similarly, Duan Chengxuan wouldn't have to worry about everything, and he could only wholeheartedly accompany his loved ones as they played around.
For people like them who walked on the edge of a blade, this was already a luxury.
Just as everyone was busy with their own thoughts, the door was slammed open by a waiter at the inn. He shouted, "I have come to tell you from the house nearby! Your wife is in labor! "
Just as he finished speaking, the door in front of the waiter had already been opened. As he fell to the ground, all he could see was a man's shadow.
Hong Xiao hurriedly followed, instructing the people around him to deal with this matter.
The waiter straightened his hat and got up, muttering to himself, "His wife is about to have a baby, and she's even staying in an inn. What's the point of being in such a hurry now?"
It was just that the pouring rain outside the window had stopped Duan Chengxuan from leaving. Because of this heavy rain, he could not hear anything from inside.
Even though the two officers guarding the door were dressed in the clothes of the house guards, the long rod in their hands was stubbornly placed in front of Duan Chengxuan, and they said in a deep voice, "These are all His Highness' arrangements. Please do not barge in recklessly."
"Your majesty, aren't you being too ruthless! She gave birth to the child of my master! " Hong Xiao rushed forward with dissatisfaction, lifting the soldier up with ease as his eyes turned red.
The latter's two feet left the ground, but the determination in her eyes did not change even a little: "If not for His Highness' order, you all would not have been allowed to step through this door. My princess aldan has never been subservient to anyone, much less put herself at risk, what do you think your master is compared to His Highness in the eyes of the people of Erdan!"
Half of his words were filled with anger.
In the hearts of many people, the imperial clan was working tirelessly for them, and even the decorations of the imperial palace was the smallest in many countries. There were no altars, no red brick walls, no divine altars, no red brick walls, no red brick walls, no small number of people had seen the emperor and the crown prince before their eyes.
But now, the princess, whom they loved and doted on a lot, was in grave danger, so why didn't they feel a chill in their hearts when they had to entrust all the dangers to the cold-faced War God of another country?
Hong Xiao wanted to continue attacking, but Duan Chengxuan pulled him behind him.
"It's not that she's heartless, it's that I owe her." As Duan Chengxuan spoke like this, blood seeped out of his tightly clenched fist, and only after suppressing it for a long time did he lightly say, "I don't have to go in, but if anything happens inside, I'll charge in recklessly."
The two officers grew even more dissatisfied, but they said no more.
And in the courtyard, the two best midwives in the city were directing people to run around, inside and out. The prescription that was prepared was also in the room; one was to give her medicine in time, and the other was to hold down the two midwives.
Gu Liuyan was lying on the bed, sweating profusely. Her eyes were bloodshot, and the pain from her hands had almost caused the quilt to wrinkle. The pain from her body was like a broken rib, piercing the internal organs.
However, this was the first time the two midwives saw such a woman. Just looking at the black marks on her legs made them tremble in fear. It was only when Gu Danyan raised his head and screamed that they recovered their thoughts.
"Yan'Er!" "Don't rush, breathe …" Yun Wan had saved Gu Liuyan's hand from twisting until it turned white. With his other hand, he kept wiping away her sweat. Seeing her pale face turn green, he couldn't help but be anxious. "This child, we …"
"Mother …" Her voice was choked with water, making it almost impossible for her to hear what she was saying. She screamed several times before continuing, "I won't die …"
"I know, I know." Yun Que kept saying yes, and it was strange that everything was clearly on the right track.
Placenta is very positive, fetus is very small...
But his grip was weak.
The two midwives hurriedly swapped to clean pads while shouting words of encouragement.
Gu Liuyan, on the other hand, could not hear clearly. She could hear the sound of flesh being cut open. She could still remember the knife cutting her skin, and the flesh beneath it turning out, blood flowing and her heart beating.
The white light in front of his eyes was like a light from an operating room.
"I don't want to die." She could hear her own voice so clearly, but then there was a rush of darkness, and she opened her eyes, and there was the wooden ceiling, and her legs were pinned down by the midwife.
"She's awake!" Yun Wan cried out in surprise and joy. She kissed on Gu Pingyan's forehead and said: "It's good that you've woken up, keep up the effort!"
However, he could not remember what happened after that.
His colleagues cried out in alarm as he was taken to the operation room. His heart stopped beating.
Gu Danyan clearly knew that she had already died once. There were no lanterns or meetings. There was only white at the end of it all. Her whole body was unconscious and her mind was blank.
When she opened her heavy eyelids again, she was greeted only by a thick darkness.
She had guessed correctly.
The clamor in his ears was accompanied by the sound of the rain, and his mother's voice seemed to come from afar. Gu Pingyan pursed her lips and silently clenched her palm, slightly moving her head to press it against his warm wrist. The water in her throat had turned into a raging flame, making her unable to speak.
The wrist was closer to her cheek. Something warm fell on her face and slid down the tip of her nose.
Yun Wan stood not too far away, holding the scrawny child in her arms. This was the first time she saw that man, reputed to be the god of war, weeping silently by his daughter's bedside. However, she didn't even glance at the child in her arms.
"You heartless woman." Duan Chengxuan slid down from the edge of the bed, bent over, and knelt beside the bed as he tightly held her ice-cold hand. He looked at his eyes that were slightly open under his long eyelashes, and only kissed the back of her hand again and again, "There won't be a next time."
