Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 475

Chapter 475 Yun Xiao Captured

Yun Xiao and Jiang Li sighed in relief when they saw that only a small number of guards were chasing after them. However, they did not expect that a large number of hooves would suddenly sound behind them. The hooves sounded like they were trampling on Yun Xiao and Jiang Li’s bodies.

Jiang Li had to try his best to drive the horse faster, but there were two people on one horse, no matter what, they could not run the people behind them.

At this moment, Yun Xiao felt that her abdomen was becoming more and more painful, and her face was even more pale. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead. Even though she had endured the pain, she couldn’t help but gasp.

“Madam, are you alright?” Jiang Li looked at Yun Xiao’s expression and his heart was filled with fear.

Rong Jin paid much attention to Yun Xiao and the child in her belly. He knew very well that was why he had sent him to protect Yun Xiao’s mother and son this time. However, he did not expect that the Empress would actually dispatch all of her forces to intercept Yun Xiao.

Hearing the sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer to them, Jiang Li became even more anxious.

Yun Xiao gritted her teeth and shook her head at Jiang Li, “I’m fine …” However, these three simple words seemed to have used a lot of strength from Yun Xiao.

Seeing that the people behind them were about to catch up with them, Jiang Li respectfully said, “Madam, I’ll stall them later. You ride your horse and run first. Don’t let the horse stop.”

Yun Xiao nodded. Even for the sake of the child in her belly, she still wanted to flee for her life.

However, at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared behind them, holding a long sword in his hand, blocking the pursuers.

After that person pulled out his sword, he turned his head in the direction of Yun Xiao and Yun Xiao and said to Yun Xiao with an apologetic expression, “Madam, please forgive me. This subordinate is sorry for you today. I will apologize to you with my death. This subordinate can still hold on here for a while. You guys should leave quickly.”

Hearing this familiar voice, Yun Xiao turned her head to look at Jiang Li not far away in disbelief. Her expression was embarrassed, and the doubts in her heart were all resolved at this moment.

Yun Xiao clearly knew how much Rong Jin cared about the safety of the residence. This courtyard had been carefully arranged. Even if the Empress really sent people to capture her, as long as she didn’t go out, no one else would think of taking her away.

However, no one expected that Qing Liu would betray them. Qing Liu was with her and Rong Jin and was someone they trusted. They knew all the arrangements in the courtyard. Qing Liu betrayed, so the arrangements in the courtyard naturally leaked out. No wonder the people sent by the Empress would rush in and easily enter the backyard.

Yun Xiao took a deep breath. It was Qing Liu who put her in danger. Do you want to say that you hate him? But at the last moment, he came to save them.

However, Jiang Li didn’t care that much. Seeing that Qing Liu could hold on for a while, he immediately twitched his horse and continued to run forward.

As long as he persisted for a while longer, his master would come over.

However, at this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came. Jiang Li and Yun Xiao’s expressions darkened slightly. Sure enough, a pair of guards appeared in front of them. When they saw the leader, Jiang Li’s expression darkened once again.

Seeing that there was a small alley not far ahead, Jiang Li led Yun Xiao into the alley without thinking. He quickly ran forward. Not long after, he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the front. His heart tightened. When he saw the person coming, Jiang Li heaved a sigh of relief and said directly, “Qing Mo, block the pursuers behind you first!”

Qing Mo quickly replied. However, when he was at least brushing past Jiang Qing, he suddenly reached out to the toilet and pointed at Jiang Li’s acupoint.

When Yun Xiao saw Qing Mo attack, she felt a chill in her heart. She looked at Qing Mo in disbelief. She only saw Qing Mo’s raised hand and his pair of apologetic eyes.

Even when Yun Xiao closed her eyes, there was still a trace of disbelief and self-mockery in her heart. She did not expect that the two people she trusted, Qing Mo and Qing Liu, would betray them in the end!

How ridiculous!

…

Yun Xiao was woken up by the pain, only to feel a burst of pain coming from her protruding lower abdomen.

Before he could open his eyes, he heard someone say, “Your Majesty, it’s already late. It’s time for you to go to bed.”

“Wait a bit longer. Go and see if that woman is awake?”

Not long after, Yun Xiao heard the sound of footsteps. She also wanted to open her eyes to see where she was, but the pain on her body made Yun Xiao unable to open her eyes.

The hands on both sides of his body were tightly clenched, and he subconsciously wanted to touch his stomach, which was in constant pain.

Yun Xiao already knew that she was about to give birth to such pain, but there was not a single movement in her stomach. A terrifying thought kept echoing in her heart, but Yun Xiao did not want to mention those two words no matter what.

The palace maid in the purple robe walked in and saw the sparkling droplets coming from the corner of Yun Xiao’s eyes lying on the bed. She frowned and immediately turned around and walked out. She respectfully said, “Reporting to Your Highness, that woman has woken up, but her body is constantly twitching, as if she is in great pain.”

As the palace maid spoke, she secretly looked at the Empress’ face. Her expression was a little embarrassed.

After the Empress finished her cold instructions, she stopped talking and the palace maid immediately walked out. “Go and call an imperial physician to show her.”

After walking outside the palace, she saw that there was no one left and right. She took out a small bamboo joint from her sleeve and blew lightly. Then, she saw a black figure appear in front of her. The palace maid immediately said, “The Empress has caught Madam. Quickly inform Young Master.”

The black-clothed man disappeared in the blink of an eye. The palace maids in purple quickly walked forward as if nothing had happened. On their way to the Imperial Hospital, they even greeted a few familiar palace maids and eunuchs.

After entering the imperial hospital, the woman dressed in purple robes looked for imperial physician Liu. Imperial physician Liu had only entered the imperial hospital a few years ago. Although she was young, her medical skills were very good, so she asked her to follow her into the Empress’ Phoenix Jubilee Palace.

After greeting the Empress, Imperial Physician Liu saw the woman lying on the bed with a cold sweat. She quickly checked her pulse and her expression immediately changed. “Aunt Lan, this woman is going to give birth, or is it difficult to give birth?”

“What?” Before Aunt Lan, who was dressed in a purple palace dress, could speak, a shrill shout came from behind her.

Imperial Physician Liu immediately knelt down with an embarrassed expression. “Reporting to the Empress, this lady is having a difficult labor.”

“Can the child be preserved?” The Empress frowned, her face was embarrassed, and her voice carried an aura of self-prestige.

“I don’t dare to protect the child, wait for me to treat the madam first,” Taiyi liu secretly rejoiced, luckily she found him earlier, and in the evening, I’m afraid that the child in her stomach will be difficult to protect.

“Quickly apply the needles and try to protect the child in her stomach,” the Empress said in a low voice. She turned around and left the bedroom.

When Aunt Lan saw this, she immediately followed him and said with a puzzled expression, “Your Highness, why do you still want to protect his child when the Eldest Prince disobeys you so much?”

The Empress looked at her with a cold expression, “Is this something you can ask?”

Aunt Lan’s face turned pale, and her eyes became a little more frightened. She immediately knelt down and said, “This servant knows her mistake. Please forgive me, Your Highness.”

The Empress did not say anything to get her up. She only instructed the palace maids on the other side to invite Rong Jin over. Then, she picked up the Tremella Lotus Seed Congee and drank it slowly.

Fifteen minutes later, Imperial Physician Liu’s face was pale and sweat covered his forehead. He respectfully knelt down and said, “This official is incompetent. I’m afraid the child in Madam’s belly will not be able to be saved. If there is a hundred years of ginseng, then I can hang on to Madam’s breath. Perhaps the child will still be saved.”

After the Empress heard what Imperial Physician Liu said, her expression became a little strange. She said calmly, “Lan’er, go and take out the hundred-year-old ginseng from the warehouse and feed it to the people inside.”

Aunt Lan quickly stood up and clapped her head at the Empress. She quickly ran down, feeling anxious. Imperial Physician Liu’s medical skills were excellent. Now that he had said that the child might not be able to survive, what could he do now?

Aunt Lan ran quickly to the warehouse, but she had no choice but to conceal her thoughts. She constantly hoped that Rong Jin would come earlier.

The hundred-year-old ginseng was quickly taken over. Imperial Physician Liu first had people cut the ginseng into several parts, then took half of it and sent people to boil the ginseng soup. The rest was cut into small pieces, and Aunt Lan placed it in Yun Xiao’s mouth, letting Yun Xiao keep it in her mouth.

After being acupunctured by Imperial Physician Liu, Yunxiao felt that the pain on her body had eased a little. She felt the smell of ginseng and opened her mouth to hold it. Only then did she slowly open her eyes. She saw a handsome Imperial Physician, a palace maid dressed in a dark purple palace dress, and a dignified empress dressed next to the palace maid.

When Yun Xiao saw the Empress, a strange look flashed through Gujing Wubo’s eyes. Her eyes contracted violently and she remembered what happened before she fainted. Her expression became even more embarrassed.

His hands clenched into fists, and a trace of hatred appeared in his eyes. However, Yun Xiao did not say anything and only stared fixedly at the Empress.

Aunt Lan snorted coldly and harshly scolded, “How dare you not salute the Empress!”

Yun Xiao sneered and looked at the woman who had an inexplicable hostility towards him. Her beautiful face and well-maintained skin looked like she was only in her twenties. She did not look like Rong Jin and Rong Xun’s mother at all.

“The maiden greets the Empress. May I know why the Empress specially invited the maiden here?” Although Yun Xiao’s voice was weak, it was very calm.

The empress asked softly, “County princess is wrong. You are the county princess of An Ning of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Since the county princess has come to the West Vietnam, I will naturally treat you well.” As she spoke, she walked forward slowly and her gaze fell on Yunxiao’s raised belly. “How does the county princess feel about her body now?”
