The Phoenix is Back - Chapter 176
Chapter 176 Syncope Preterm Labor
The wind was strong on the mountain, and the cold air was extremely heavy at night.
However, Xiao Xiwei’s room was burning silver charcoal day and night. In addition, the windows outside were pasted with thick Korean paper. No matter the cold wind howled outside, the room was as warm as spring.
I wonder if Chu Muzhi did what she said. At this time tomorrow, he should take action.
“Princess, the water for the bath is ready.” Behind her, Hong Yu’s calm voice rang out.
Xiao Xiwei regained his senses and nodded at Hongyu. Then, he supported her hand and stood up. Dumpling, who was leaning against her feet, hurriedly got up and wagged her tail to follow behind Xiao Xiwei.
“Tuanzi, stop. You can’t follow me now.” Zi Yan came in with the cloth towel and saponin for bathing. Seeing that Dumpling was still following behind Xiao Xiwei, she hurriedly shouted in a low voice.
Ever since Duan Zi was brought up the mountain by Chu Muzhi to see Xiao Xiwei, he had followed Xiao Xiwei wherever he went and refused to leave. No matter how hard he tried, he would not leave. Zi Yan said that it was estimated that Tuanzi had been locked up in Prince Yan’s Mansion for too long, and Xiao Xiwei had not visited it for a long time. He estimated that he was afraid that she would sneak away again, so he followed closely behind her.
Tuanzi looked at Xiao Xiwei, then turned his head and stared at the towel in Zi Yan’s hand for a long time. His eyes blinked, and finally his claws retracted and he lay on the ground at the door.
The two palace maids who followed Xiao Xiwei up the mountain said, Originally, he was still a little scared of this’colossal ‘monster, but after seeing it obediently lying at Xiao Xiwei’s feet all day long, there was no movement, and the fear in his heart faded a lot. Now, seeing it listen to Zi Yan like this, one of them couldn’t help but laugh, “Sister Zi Yan, do you think it’s a tiger?” I’ve never seen such a docile tiger. ”
Zi Yan glanced sideways at the palace maid and said, “Wen Shun? My Duan Zi is only docile to her own people. If anyone wants to harbor ill intentions towards the princess, see if my Duan Zi doesn’t rush over and directly tear her apart.” Zi Yan stared at the palace maid gloomily.
These two palace maids were brought from the Yongchun Palace. To put it bluntly, it was either the emperor’s spy planted beside Xiao Xiwei or Chu Muzhi’s spy planted them. Although there was no action to date, Zi Yan was still very happy to have such an opportunity to knock on these people.
Sure enough, a trace of panic flashed through the palace maid’s eyes, but she quickly concealed it. She smiled and said to Zi Yan, “Sister Zi Yan is joking again.”
Zi Yan curled her lips and glanced at the palace maid with a faint smile. Then, she lifted the curtain with a cloth scarf and a saponin corner and entered the inner room.
In the inner room, Hong Yu was taking off the jewelry on Xiao Xiwei’s head. Zi Yan put down the things in his hands, took the buckets from the two palace maids, and slowly poured the hot water into the bathtub. After pouring the water, she stretched out her hand to test the temperature. Seeing that the temperature was just right, she turned around and took out the plum petals that had been prepared early in the morning from the table and sprinkled them in.
“Princess, you can take a bath now.” After doing all this, Zi Yan walked to Xiao Xiwei’s side and blessed herself.
Xiao Xi nodded slightly, “You guys go out.”
She never liked to be waited on by her side in the bath. Both Hong Yu and Zi Yan knew of her habit. However, she was now heavy, so the two helped her into the bathtub before leaving the inner room. However, they did not leave but stayed outside the curtain.
Xiao Xi let himself sink into the warm water. He raised his head slightly and stared blankly at the square beam above his head through the layers of water vapor.
I only hope that everything on Chu Muzhi’s side will go smoothly and take advantage of this storm to quickly bring Xizhi out of the capital. He really can’t stay here any longer.
The soft liquid gently embraced her, and the tip of her nose was wrapped in a faint fragrance of plum blossom. In addition to the steam, she unknowingly felt her eyelids sink, and the scenery in front of her gradually became blurry …
Behind the curtain, Zi Yan was half-crouching on the ground playing with the ball, but no matter how funny she was, the ball shrugged its head and even gave her a stingy look. Zi Yan was a little unwilling. She simply reached out and grabbed Dumpling’s ear. Without thinking, Dumpling, who hadn’t reacted, suddenly stood up. Zi Yan was shocked. Before she could react, Dumpling let out a cry. She turned around and pulled the curtain in front of her and rushed inside.
Hong Yu frowned and felt that something was wrong. She hurriedly followed behind the ball and quickly walked in.
“What’s wrong? This is?” Although Zi Yan had a puzzled expression on her face, when she saw that Hong Yu’s expression was not right, she followed closely into the room.
Silver silk charcoal filled the room, coupled with warm water vapor mixed with a rich fragrance of flowers, Zi Yan felt somewhat stuffy as soon as she entered the room. However, when she saw Dumpling lying on the bathtub, screaming as she stretched out her claws and scratched inwards, she was shocked. She hurriedly ran over and didn’t care about anything. She reached out her hand and pulled Xiao Xi out from the bottom of the water.
“Quick, get your clothes.” Hong Yu, who had never panicked before, shouted at Zi Yan in panic.
When Zi Yan entered the room, she saw that Hong Yu had pulled Xiao Xiwei out of the water. In an instant, she felt that her blood was flowing backwards. She quickly pulled the clothes hanging on the clothes rack and surrounded Xiao Xiwei. “What happened? Didn’t the princess just recover?”
Hong Yu’s face was heavy as she stretched out her hand to pinch her people.
Seeing Hong Yu’s movements, Zi Yan came back to his senses and said, “Let me do it.” After saying that, she helped Xiao Xiwei up and raised her hand to slap her back forcefully.
Xiao Xiwei, who was in a coma, suddenly coughed and spat out a mouthful of water. Then, he slowly opened his eyes.
“Miss.” Seeing that Xiao Xiwei was awake, Hong Yu’s tears gushed out.
If Tuanzi hadn’t noticed, if she had just arrived a step late …
Hong Yu did not dare to imagine what would happen afterwards. She felt as if her entire body had been pulled out of ice water, and her entire body was so cold that it was bone-chilling.
“Princess, are you alright?” Zi Yan stretched out her hand and rubbed Xiao Xiwei’s hand non-stop. Her eyes were red and her back felt cold.
At this moment, Xiao Xiwei felt weak and dizzy. She could hear Zi Yan talking, but she did not open her mouth and could not make a sound.
Hong Yu looked at Xiao Xiwei’s expression and smelled the heavy fragrance in the room. Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind. “Zi Yan, quickly help the princess out.” After she finished speaking, she hurriedly stood up and pushed open all the tightly shut doors and windows.
In an instant, Zi Yan suddenly regained her senses. She could no longer care about anything and helped Xiao Xiwei out of the inner room by pulling a strap around her.
The cold wind blew in, making the heavy fragrance in the room much lighter.
“Sister Hong Yu, Sister Zi Yan, what happened?” At this time, the two palace maids waiting outside heard the sound and pushed the door open.
Zi Yan coldly glanced at them, then carefully placed Xiao Xiwei on the couch, then pulled the brocade quilt and wrapped Xiao Xiwei up.
At this time, Hong Yu also walked out of the inner room. She quickly walked to Zi Yan’s side and said, “How is it? Is Princess okay?”
“Sister Hongyu, what happened to the princess? Do you want this servant to call the imperial physician?” The palace maid named Tea Fragrance stepped forward and probed.
Zi Yan’s gaze swept across the tea fragrance sharply, and then she said to Hong Yu, “Sister Hong Yu, go get the imperial physician. I will take care of the princess here.”
Hong Yu raised her eyes to look at Zi Yan and instantly understood what she meant.
This time, the princess suddenly fainted and drowned. I’m afraid that these two palace maids are inextricably linked. I’m afraid that if they go to the imperial physician, it’s impossible to guarantee that there won’t be any mistakes on the road.
“Alright, I’ll go now.” Hong Yu nodded. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly heard Xiao Xiwei frowning and shouting. “Princess, what’s wrong?” She hurriedly turned her head.
The dizziness in her mind was taken away by the cold wind, but there was a faint sharp pain in her abdomen. She even felt a liquid gushing out from beneath her body. Her pupils suddenly opened. Her face seemed to be bloody red, and a surge of strength surged out of her body. She raised her hand and grabbed Hong Yu’s hand. She shouted at her with all her might, “Quick, quickly get a doctor …”
Xiao Xi’s slightly blood-red eyes were filled with fear. In an instant, Red Rain seemed to understand something. She turned around and ran wildly towards the outside.
Scarlet blood slowly flowed out from his smooth thigh, blooming a beautiful and decadent flower on his plain white dressing gown.
In a trance, it was as if she had returned to that night.
That night was as cold as the day before.
She watched helplessly as the unformed child in her stomach turned into a pool of blood. The torn pain and despair drowned her like a tide, and today, was she going to repeat the despair of her previous life? Was she going to watch her child leave her once again after reviving her life?
No!
Absolutely not!
Suddenly, Xiao Xiwei’s eyes emitted countless sharp lights. Even Zi Yan was stunned by Xiao Xiwei’s gaze.
Xiao Xiwei coldly swept his gaze towards the two palace maids in the room. He endured the intense pain in his stomach and said sternly, “What are you still waiting for? Hurry up and boil the hot water.”
Being swept by Xiao Xiwei’s cold gaze, the two palace maids hurriedly lowered their heads and even answered’yes’. They even forgot to bow and ran out as if they had escaped.
“Princess.” Zi Yan also saw the blood red underneath Xiao Xiwei. Her tears gushed out and she looked at Xiao Xiwei helplessly. She didn’t know what to do for a moment.
Dense cold sweat oozed out from his forehead. Xiao Xiwei bit down on the tip of his tongue forcefully. The sharp pain and the smell of blood between her lips and teeth made her more conscious. She knew that she must not fall at this time. She must hold on. For the sake of the child in her belly, she must hold on.
“Zi Yan, listen to me. Don’t panic. There’s a sandwich under the jewelry box. Open it and take out the pills. Quick.” Xiao Xiwei propped himself up forcefully, his gaze firmly fixed on Zi Yan’s eyes as he gritted his teeth and said word by word.
Her words brought Zi Yan back to her senses. She then remembered that not long after the princess was pregnant, Du Er Da had specially prepared a few pills and sent them over, saying that they were for the princess’ emergency needs.
“Princess, you wait. I’ll go now.” Zi Yan shook Xiao Xiwei’s hand and quickly walked into the inner room. She found the jewelry box and quickly took out the pills.
A warm feeling immediately came from his dantian after a medicinal pill. Soon, the warmth flowed through his limbs and bones, and the blood gushing out of his body stopped quite a bit.
Zi Yan supported Xiao Xiwei. Before she could express her joy, the door was pushed open and a figure walked over with a cold wind.
“What’s going on!”
