"what sound?"
Just then, the sound of fighting came from outside.
Leng Yan said, "They're assassins!"
King Liang said, "I will go and see. You stay here and protect your younger brother, sister-in-law, and mother."
But as soon as King Liang went out, he was knocked back in.
These assassins are far too audacious!
The Empress Dowager was startled. Upon closer inspection, she realized that the other side had sent a large number of people, all of whom were highly skilled in martial arts.
Madam Yun was puzzled. "How did these people get in?"
Before they could figure things out, the assassins stormed in.
Leng Yan quickly led his men to resist, asking, "Who are you people, and where did you come from?"
The palace was heavily guarded, and these people were dressed in the uniforms of the Imperial Guard.
It is clear that there were spies who had already infiltrated the palace.
The assassin didn't say a word to him, and immediately started slashing, heading straight for the delivery room!
Late at night, in the inner chambers of the palace, Yun Xiyue lay on the magnificent birthing bed, her face pale, her hair soaked with sweat and clinging to her forehead.
She bit her lip tightly, gripping the sheets beneath her with both hands until her knuckles turned white from the force.
With each contraction, she couldn't help but let out a painful groan, a sound that was both weak and powerful.
The palace maids were busy and nervous, bringing in basins of hot water and taking them out one after another.
Granny Cao kept wiping the sweat from the Empress's forehead and gently comforted her, "Your Majesty, push harder, it will be over soon."
Qingmei anxiously observed the situation from the side, ready to deal with any unexpected events.
Yun Xiyue's breathing was rapid and disordered, her eyes were sometimes confused and sometimes firm, and her body trembled incessantly, but she never gave up. For the sake of her unborn child, she did everything she could.
"Ah Yue, let's not have a natural birth." Ghost Hand had already prepared the tools to finish the process and changed his clothes, and had someone start tidying him up.
Yun Xiyue was conscious, but the exertion had left her drenched in sweat. "Master, are there assassins outside...?"
A cacophony of footsteps and the clash of weapons could be heard outside.
Immediately afterwards, a group of assassins burst in like ghosts.
They were dressed in black, with cold and stern faces, and the sharp blades in their hands gleamed coldly in the candlelight.
Yun Xiyue opened her eyes in terror, an overwhelming sense of fear welling up inside her.
The midwives were terrified; some screamed, while others tried to protect the Queen. The assassins quickly approached, their killing intent palpable.
Ghost Hand killed an assassin with a hand chop!
However, there are still assassins.
I have no idea where they came from.
"Take good care of the Empress!" A ruthless glint flashed in Ghost Hand's eyes as he decided to deal with the assassins first.
Just at this critical moment, a figure appeared silently, "Go and deliver A-Yue's baby, hurry, don't delay any longer!"
Is that Murong Yu's voice?
Yun Xiyue couldn't help but get up to look, "Your Majesty..."
"Ah Yue!" Murong Yu had only brought one person with him when he came in through the secret passage. After killing the assassin, he quickly came over and took her hand. "Don't be afraid, I'm back."
"Hmm." Yun Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief, tears welling up in her eyes as she cried, "Your Majesty... I'm in so much pain, I don't want to give birth anymore."
“Then we won’t have the baby. We’ll have a C-section. Trust your master,” Murong Yu said immediately.
After exchanging a glance with Ghost Hand, Ghost Hand breathed a sigh of relief the moment he made his decision.
Without further hesitation, he administered anesthesia to Yun Xiyue.
There were still sounds of fighting outside, and it seemed that no one knew that Murong Yu had returned.
A fierce battle ensued between the imperial guards and the assassins, with flashing swords and deafening shouts of battle.
Yun Xiyue lay on the bed, her consciousness somewhat hazy. She could only see a blurry face wiping her sweat, and smell a familiar scent.
Murong Yu was dressed in black brocade robes, keeping a low profile, clearly having quietly returned from the border alone.
Even Leng Yan and the others did not receive the news.
The fighting continued; the assassins were fierce, but the guards did not back down.
Ultimately, the assassins were gradually driven back by the guards' tenacious resistance.
The Queen gave birth to her child with great difficulty during this harrowing crisis.
At this moment, the sun rises in the east.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of a baby crying was heard.
"Wow wow wow!"
"gave birth!"
Lady Yun shouted excitedly. They were just outside the Jiaofang Palace, guarded by Leng Yan and Prince Liang, so there was no danger.
