Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 474
Chapter 474 Divide the Troops into Two
When Yun Xiao heard Jiang Li say that there were people outside, her face turned slightly pale. She was shocked. The current situation was not good for them at all.
The subordinate caressed her stomach, and Yun Xiao even thought of the meaning of what Mu Xuan had said before she left that day.
She had given birth to a child in her previous life, so she knew a little about what had happened before giving birth. However, she was not sure yet. After all, there was still more than a month until the due date.
Seeing everyone staring at him, Yun Xiao’s face was slightly pale. At this time, everyone’s lives were tied up with her. There must be no mistakes. In addition, even if she really wanted to give birth, she had to go out of this dangerous period. Not to mention, she was only in pain now. It was still a long time before she gave birth. Finally, she sighed and said, “I’m fine. I’m just a little tired. It doesn’t matter.”
Jiang Li was originally a doctor. Although his medical skills weren’t as good as Rong Jin’s, his medical skills were also at the peak. With the brightness of the torch, he could clearly see that Yun Xiao’s face was terribly pale. The fine beads of sweat on his forehead were definitely not as simple as Yun Xiao had said.
She bowed slightly to Yun Xiao, “Madam, please allow this subordinate to take a pulse for Madam.”
When Jiang Li finished speaking, he had already grabbed Yun Xiao’s wrist. Even if Yun Xiao wanted to struggle, it was already too late.
He could only anxiously stare at Jiang Li, and the bad feeling in his heart became more and more intense.
After a long time, Jiang Li’s body stiffened and he withdrew his hand. However, his expression was very embarrassed. “Madam, you’re going to … give birth.”
Everyone who heard this sentence looked at Yun Xiao’s bulging stomach in disbelief.
They didn’t dare to imagine the consequences of giving birth in such a situation or giving birth prematurely.
“What should we do now?” Qing Mo’s ice-cold face finally became a little anxious. No one expected that Yun Xiao would give birth in advance.
Looking at Yun Xiao’s bulging belly, the eight-month-old child, coupled with Yun Xiao’s body, it was hard to say if this child could survive.
As the old saying goes, seven lives and eight doesn’t live. Now, eight months old children, everyone was secretly sweating for Yun Xiao.
Jiang Li was also stunned at this moment. His expression was a little strange. After thinking for a long time, he said, “We must inform Master now, and then find a quiet place for Madam to give birth.”
Yun Xiao’s current situation obviously could not be delayed any longer.
However, in Yun Xiao’s case, it would be troublesome for them to go out, so how could they find a quiet place to wait for delivery?
Yun Xiao bit her lips and caressed her raised abdomen with both hands. Her expression was filled with unconcealable nervousness, and her hands were trembling slightly.
In her previous life, she had conceived several times before finally giving birth to a Nuo. However, she did not expect that in this life, the first child would be born prematurely even though it had been preserved.
Originally, when a woman gave birth to a child, she would have to walk through the gates of hell, and when she gave birth prematurely, she directly handed her life to King of Hell. Whether she could pull it back or not was unknown.
Yun Xiao’s hands trembled, her eyes flashing with hatred. This matter must have something to do with Mu Xuan! Otherwise, she wouldn’t have said that that day. She took a deep breath and Yun Xiao calmed herself down as soon as possible.
It would be extremely disadvantageous for them to be anxious at this moment, so it would be better to honestly think of a way.
However, Yun Xiao couldn’t figure out what she should do for a moment. ‘”Let’s first think of a way to inform Rong Jin about this. I’m only in pain now. There should still be some time before I give birth. Let’s see if we can delay it. Qing Mo, go back and see if Qing Liu has brought the medicine back. Jiang Li, let’s first see how many medicines you have on you and whether you can concoct some of them to knock out the Guards Legion outside.”
If the guards outside were all stunned, Yun Xiao did not dare to say so, but if she could stun them a little, it would be good for them and give them some hope of breaking out.
Everyone moved quickly, but Chun Mei and Chun Lan did not know what to do at this moment.
After the reward was quickly prepared, his gaze fell on Chun Lan. His brows furrowed tightly, “Your figure and Madam’s are somewhat similar. I will disguise you as Madam. Later on, we will split up into two groups.” In this way, he might be able to escape safely.
“Alright,” Chun Lan refused without thinking, then quickly wrapped up the clothes they brought out, intending to prop up her stomach like this.
However, Yun Xiao’s stomach was really too big. Even if they used all the clothes they brought over, it was not as big as Yun Xiao’s stomach. Chun Lan immediately said, “Doctor Jiang, change my appearance first. Chun Mei, go pick up something lighter. No matter what it is, as long as you can prop up your stomach, it will be fine.”
Chun Mei immediately followed the path she had taken.
On this side, because Jiang Qing didn’t bring enough things, she could only slightly embellish Chun Lan’s face. No matter how much she embellished her face, there was nothing she could do without medicine.
Not long after, Chun Mei returned. She did not find anything soft. Instead, she found some worn-out hard objects. Chun Lan quickly used the hard objects to support her clothes. It was like seventy to eighty percent. Seeing this, everyone was finally relieved.
Yun Xiao sat on the ground, her small hand tightly stroking her painful lower abdomen, the sweat on her forehead growing more and more.
They had waited here for so long, and Qing Mo had never returned. Yun Xiao was somewhat worried about whether they would encounter danger when they returned. “Jiang Li, go take a look first. Why haven’t Qing Mo and Qing Liu come yet?” Right now, there were only four of them. She was pregnant, and Chun Mei and Chun Lan were powerless. Jiang Li was the only one who could use them. If Qing Liu and Qing Mo came, they would be able to break out of the encirclement.
Jiang Li didn’t have any objections to this, but before he left, he worriedly asked, “Madam, are you still able to hold on?”
Yun Xiao nodded. Although her lower abdomen hurt, she could not bear it.
Seeing this, Jiang Li also turned back.
Chun Lan and Chun Mei did not have any experience in women’s childbirth. However, seeing that Yun Xiao’s forehead was covered in cold sweat, they suggested to carefully massage her. Yun Xiao reached out to stop the massage. Massage required physical strength. After exhausting all of their physical strength, how could they escape at that time?
“I’m fine. You don’t have to worry.”
They waited for a while before Jiang Li returned with Qing Mo. As for Qing Liu, they could not find him. “Madam, we must leave this place as soon as possible. This hidden path should not be long before it is discovered. Qing Liu disappeared without a trace and the medicine was not found. I have already sent news to Master. Master should be here soon.”
Yun Xiao’en said. She couldn’t care about that much anymore. She could only say, “There’s no need to look for medicine anymore. Let’s think of a way to break out of the encirclement.” Since he had informed Rong Jin that Rong Jin would arrive soon, Yun Xiao was finally relieved.
As long as Rong Jin was by her side, she would feel at ease.
Jiang Li quickly made a choice, so the others naturally had no objections. “Yes, Madam and I are together. Qing Mo will protect Chun Mei and Chun Lan.”
Qing Mo was Yun Xiao’s personal maidservant, and she was even more inseparable from Yun Xiao. With Qing Mo around, as long as Chun Lan was dressed up like that, someone would believe her.
Jiang Li first sprinkled some medicinal powder through a crack. When he felt that someone was already falling down not far from the hidden passage, Jiang Li immediately opened the secret passage door.
The few of them moved forward quickly according to the original plan. Jiang Li even whistled and summoned two horses. Qing Mo brought Chun Mei and Chun Lan to ride one. He and Yun Xiao rode together. However, before they could get on the horse, they were surrounded by the soldiers who had rushed over.
Qing Mo and Jiang Li exchanged a quick glance. Then, the two of them drew their long swords from their waist, and they were invincible. They twitched their horses and quickly split into two opposite directions and rushed out.
The imperial guards were confused for a moment. They didn’t know who to chase after. After all, there were pregnant women on both horses.
Just as they were in chaos, a light blue figure suddenly appeared. Her brows were tightly knitted. Mu Xuan looked at the people on both sides and did not know where exactly Yun Xiao was.
Logically speaking, Qing Mo was Yun Xiao’s personal maidservant, so she should be with Yun Xiao. Since Yun Xiao was a married woman, it was even more impossible for her to ride with other men.
She immediately made up her mind and ordered a small group of people to chase after Jiang Li. She took them to chase after the horse Qing Mo was riding, “Follow that horse, and the others will follow me!”
“Yes.” Everyone quickly moved, turned around, mounted their horses, and chased after him.
Mu Xuan quickly brought a large group of people to chase after Qing Mo. Not long after, Mu Xuan suddenly grabbed the horse and snorted coldly at the people closely following behind her. “All of you, turn back and chase after the people on the other horse!”
A lieutenant general did not understand why Mu Xuan had made such a decision. “Doesn’t that mean that woman should run away?”
“The person on the horse is not Yun Si.” Mu Xuan’s expression was cold. She did not expect that she would almost be tricked by them. Yunxiao was really cunning!
“Why did Miss Mu say that?”
“I’ve seen Yun Xiao before. I said that the woman wasn’t the person we wanted to invite, right?” Although they played very similar roles, the woman with a big stomach had obviously worn a bit of worn shoes. The cloth she used was too clean, and it wasn’t the shoes that Yun Xiao wore.
When the others saw this, they naturally didn’t dare to have any objections. They all turned their horses around and continued to chase after them.
Qing Mo naturally sensed the commotion behind them. His expression was extremely embarrassed. He did not expect Mu Xuan to be so intelligent. He immediately saw through their plans and saw everyone turn back. If Yunxiao and Jiang Li did not leave in time, they would definitely be caught by Mu Xuan.
“Qing Mo, what should we do now?” Chun Lan did not know where the problem was, but Mu Xuan was still chasing after them, and in the blink of an eye, she went back.
‘”Since they’re not chasing us, I’ll send you to a safe place later, and then I’ll go save Madam.” Qing Mo made up his mind and quickly started to twitch his horse.
Qing Mo was the only one who went to save Yun Xiao. Naturally, Chun Mei and Chun Lan were unwilling. However, the two of them did not have any martial power. If they went, they could only drag their feet. Although they were unwilling, they could only obey.
