Without worries, Shen Ninghua’s mood got better and better, every day the oldest and Xiaobao would accompany her for a walk, and would also rack their brains to think of ways to coax her to be happy, and many times the things they did were extraordinarily childish and cute, so that she couldn’t help but be amused.
Ten days later, the news of Baili Qingcang’s passing came over, Shen Ninghua changed into a plain dress, led the two children who had changed their clothes, set up an incense burner, and knelt down to salute in the direction of Kyoto.
“Mother, is it Imperial Grandpa who passed away?” The oldest was a bit more sensitive than Xiaobao, and had already understood some of it from Hongling’s mere words. Shen Ninghua didn’t hide it from him either, and when she heard him ask she told him straight. Wing Chen was a boy, naturally he had to take on more than Luo Yao, he was now two years old, although he was young, he wasn’t ignorant of everything.
“Yes, your royal grandfather passed away, so you’ll have to kowtow two more times.”
Little Treasure leaned in Shen Ninghua’s arms, “Mother, brother and Little Treasure’s names were chosen by Royal Grandpa, right?”
“Well, when you were born, the royal grandfather was extremely fond of you, after personally coming to see you, he gave you a name, are extraordinarily attentive, in the future do not forget this favor.”
“Yes, child remembers.”
Shen Ninghua rubbed their heads, and seeing that they were depressed, she couldn’t help but say, “Alright, how about sleeping with Mother tonight?”
“Good.” The two moody children immediately cheered up when they heard this proposal, they wanted to stick to their mother at all times, but daddy, that big bad guy, wouldn’t let them, saying that they were all big kids, humph, they were only two years old, clearly small.
In the evening, both children were quite excited, and specially asked Hongling to prepare hot water for them to take a bath, changed into warm little shirts, the whole person was fragrant and soft, lying beside Shen Ninghua, staring at two pairs of bright eyes.
Little Treasure climbed over and held Shen Ninghua’s hand, smiling foolishly, “Mother, I’m not sleepy at all, you go to sleep, I’ll help you keep an eye on your younger brother, and if he doesn’t listen in mother’s belly, I’ll talk about him.”
The oldest’s face fell with looking extraordinarily serious, but his little face carried the color of red excitement, “Sister, you and mother sleep first, I’ll watch my younger brother, I’m the eldest brother, he wouldn’t dare disobey.”
Shen Ninghua couldn’t help but laugh out loud at his words, “Alright, you two accompany mother to sleep together, your brother is very well-behaved, he also needs to rest at night, there’s no need to watch specifically.”
The two children sniffed and hurriedly leaned against Shen Ninghua’s side on the left and right, rubbing themselves extraordinarily contentedly. After they had stroked Shen Ninghua’s stomach on weekdays and felt their brother’s fetal movements, they taught their brother extraordinarily seriously that he should be obedient and not kick his mother, or he would be spanked when he came out.
Shen Ninghua couldn’t hold back her laughter after hearing this, so she let them educate her brother, so much so that now, they were afraid that her brother wouldn’t be honest after she fell asleep, so they had to watch specifically.
After the two children were excited for a long time, they quickly fell asleep, Shen Ninghua helped them cover the quilt and fell asleep herself. In the middle of the night, the three of them were sleeping heavily when Shen Ninghua violently opened her eyes.
At the doorway, Green Sparrow and Hongling were already all guarding her bedside with sharp swords, “What’s going on?”
“Miss, there’s been an assassination!”
Shen Ninghua’s eyes flinched, “How many people are there?”
“Many, about a hundred.”
“Can you tell where it came from?”
Green Bird replied, “Miss, it should be people from Bi Yun Pavilion and Qing Tian Pavilion.”
Shen Ninghua froze, “Baili Jin Yi’s people?” He was now in captivity, and there was no possibility of a resurgence afterward, so if he threw his weight around in grief and anger, it was really hard to tell.
“How did they find this place?”
“Ye Yi sent a portion of his people back to protect miss, they are afraid that they followed the traces of that group of people and tracked them here. There is a part of the Qingtian Pavilion that is extremely good at tracking, as long as there is the slightest trace, they will be able to find out the destination.” So many people rushed back to Jiangnan from Kyoto, even if they were no longer secretive, there would be witnesses and such, and it would not be uncommon for Baili Jin Yi’s people to follow those traces and track them over.
Shen Ninghua nodded and gently woke up Boss and Little Treasure and dressed them, “How is the situation outside?”
“The visitors are numerous and are all elite experts, miss, we can’t say it’s a good idea to prepare for evacuation.”
“Uh-huh.”
This garden had been prepared for a long time, and the room was set up with secret rooms and secret passageways. Shen Ninghua called the White Joint Forces and others over, roughly packed up some things, and made an emergency evacuation through the secret passageways.
Xiao Bao and the boss were being held, only looked at Shen Ninghua closely, and did not make any sound, well-behaved to make people extra heartbreaking. Shen Ninghua and the others came out from the secret passage, but they heard a shouting and killing sound around them.
Green Sparrow and Hongling fiercely blocked in front of Shen Ninghua: “Miss, there’s an ambush!”
Not far away, the fire had already risen, but the assassins who came to assassinate were not afraid to die.
The secret guards protecting Shen Ninghua and the others fought with them, but they could not take advantage of them in the slightest. Shen Ninghua could not help but feel a sense of awe in his heart, these assassins did not cover their faces and did not care about their injuries in the slightest between their actions, so it seems that they want to fight to the death.
Green Bird and the others protected Shen Ningshu, carefully withdrawing to the side, but their line of people was particularly eye-catching, the assassins soon discovered them, and rushed towards Shen Ningshu.
The dark guards quickly surrounded and strangled the assassins who rushed to Shen Ninghua’s front, but before those assassins died, they took out a black ball from their arms and threw it at Shen Ninghua and the others. The dark guards quickly kicked the black ball away, but there was still one thrown in front of Shen Ninghua, only to hear a bang and a smoke rose up.
Shen Ninghua hurriedly raised her sleeves to cover her mouth and nose, her face instantly became ugly, “Qingquan, Hongling, quickly go, this smoke is unusual.”
There were already secret guards preparing the carriage, Qing Bird put the two children in first, and when she helped Shen Ninghua to get on the car, she suddenly heard her muffled voice, and hurriedly asked, “Miss, what’s wrong with you?”
“My stomach hurts ……” Shen Ninghua only felt a burst of pain coming from her abdomen, and the pain actually felt like she was going into premature labor.
“Miss!”
“Retreat, retreat quickly!”
Shen Ninghua endured the pain and got on the carriage, which quickly sped towards the outskirts of the city. The secret guards dispersed the wave of assassins and quickly followed.
Along the way, there were constantly assassins catching up, the dark guards took care of them as much as they could, and the carriage went out of the city of Su, heading in the direction of Kyoto.
On the carriage, Green Bird and Hongling knelt beside Shen Ninghua, looking at her cold sweaty appearance, their hearts were anxious: “Miss, what’s wrong with you, is there a problem with those fumes, can there be an antidote to be able to take?”
Shen Ninghua endured the pain and gritted her teeth, looking to the two children who were almost stunned to the side: “Qingquan, Hongling, I’m afraid I’m going to give birth.”
The two were alarmed, “Miss, you’re still under a month!”
Those fumes are poisonous, I inhaled some of them, if I handle the child’s delivery, the problem won’t be too big, if I can’t have a smooth delivery, I’m afraid that both the child and I will be in danger, call Zoqin in, let her help me deliver the baby, you two protect the oldest and the little treasure, don’t let them get scared.”
“Mother ……”
Shen Ninghua looked towards Qing Bird, who gritted her teeth and reached out to make a point on the two children’s sleeping points before hastily catching them. Without having to let the two children see the bloody side of what was to come next, Shen Ninghua let go of the worries in her heart and concentrated on feeling the pain in her abdomen.
Xia Rouqin quickly got on the carriage, “Miss, are you alright?”
Shen Ninghua’s face turned white, “I remembered that I had prepared labor-inducing pills before for some precautionary measures, did you bring them out?”
“Miss, if you take that medicine, you will suffer greatly.”
“Don’t worry about it, bring it!”
Xia Rouqin gritted her teeth and took out a bottle from the medicine box she brought out with her, “Miss ……”
Shen Ninghua took it, took a deep breath, opened her mouth and swallowed it with her head tilted back without hesitation, “Rouqin, I remember you learned from the midwifery sisters, I’ll leave the rest to you.”
“Miss, slave girl is worried ……” Xia Rouqin panicked six gods, because the matter is related to Shen Ningshu, she not only learned, but also learned very solid, but her turn to personally get on the hand, or directly related to Shen Ningshu and the little master’s life, she did not have a little bottom in her heart.
Shen Ninghua held her wrist, “Think back carefully, I believe you, my life and the child’s life is in your hands.”
Xia Rouqin fiercely bit her lips, all biting blood and still unconscious: “Yes, Miss!”
Shen Ninghua leaned against the wall of the carriage, panting heavily, and Hongling helped her to pad the welcome pillow behind her, holding her up so that she could suffer as little as possible from the bumps of the carriage.
“Miss, try hard!”
The carriage sped along at a fast pace, with shouts of murder coming one after another behind it.
The pain was like a tidal wave, violently drowning Shen Ninghua, and the labor-inducing drug began to exert its effects, doubling the original ten levels of pain once again, causing Shen Ninghua’s hands and feet to stop spasming slightly.
Rouqin and Hongling supported her on the left and right, constantly talking to her to encourage her, “Miss, hold on, you must hold on, you can’t pass out.”
The tearing pain kept coming, Shen Ninghua was almost drenched in cold sweat. Xia Rouqin took the ginseng tablets and told her to hold them, raised her hand and wiped a handful of tears, carefully observing Shen Ninghua’s condition, “Miss, the mouth of the uterus has opened two fingers, hold on, it will soon pass.”
Shen Ninghua now even have no strength to speak, a roaring sound in her ears, some time ago in order to save the child she damaged too much, this time to nurse back some, but it is only a little better than before, and now the stroke of premature labor, almost half of her life.
Rou Qin gritted her teeth and took out a silver needle, and was about to stab it in at Shen Ninghua’s acupuncture point when Hong Ling violently held her hand in place, “What are you going to do?”
“Sister Hongling, although I have followed Miss for the shortest period of time, my heartfeltness is not inferior to that of Sister in the slightest, I’m going to help Miss with the needles, and help her to induce labor, and if anything happens to Miss and the little master, Sister can take my life at the first opportunity!”
Shen Ninghua struggled to open her eyes, “Hongling …… let Zuoqin do it ……”
