Let Me Pursue You - Chapter 99

Yuan Cixian wanted to continue scolding, but found that after scolding for a while, she was energetic, but her strength was not enough, so she had to grit her teeth and hold back her strength.

Xuanshi waited outside for another half an hour before being escorted to the bedroom next door by Lu Shuangyu.

It’s really cold in winter, even if she blows the cold wind dryly, it won’t help. What’s more, when the door is opened and closed, it is easy to get involved in the frost and moisture, there are many people around, and there are many unclean things. On the contrary, it is not good for Yuan Cixian, and it is even more difficult for her to go in and cause trouble.

It’s just that Yuan Cixian gave birth suddenly, and the situation was not going well. Seeing that the whole afternoon passed, and there was no progress in the evening, Xuanshi didn’t have the heart to eat, and even barely took a few mouthfuls of dinner.

When it was almost time to go to bed, the news finally came, but it was said that Yuan Cixian was really not strong enough. If the time was delayed for a longer time, I am afraid that it would be even more precarious. So the two stable women thought about the method of standing delivery, but This method requires a lot of manpower, and it is best to ask an experienced woman to help.

When Xuan heard this, he immediately sent someone out to invite Mrs. Wen, and followed the new Mrs. Wen into the room to look at Yuan Cixian, and told her not to be afraid.

The room was filled with heat, Yuan Cixian was covered in sweat, her lips were pale and lifeless, and even her eyes were slightly dizzy, but she still tried her best to maintain her consciousness, probably knowing that it was late, so she said to her: ” Aniang, don’t be afraid, this trivial matter is not difficult for me…you go to sleep first, when you wake up, you must hold your grandchild…”

Xuanshi is getting old, and she has listened to and watched a lot, so she couldn’t help feeling a little sour when she heard the words, and grabbed her hand and said: “Shiqing is sorry for you, when he comes back, Auntie will tie him up in the house every day.” Confinement with you, don’t let him go out again!”

The Xuan family didn’t know anything about the affairs in the court, nor did they know that Lu Shiqing was in trouble on the way home, so he thought that he was focusing on government affairs and didn’t care about Yuan Cixian at all. Back then, he knew that he took the initiative to take the initiative to meet the Uighurs. Khan’s errand, and reprimanded him several times.

But Yuan Cixian understood his difficulties. Although he cursed badly, he didn’t mean to blame him in his heart. Hearing the words, he smiled weakly: “Okay, wait for him to come back…”

Afraid of the delay, Wen Po apologized and asked Xuan to retreat for the time being. She had no choice but to back out. It’s just that Yuan Cixian is still suffering, and Lu Shiqing is not at the house. She, a mother, dare not go back to her room to sleep. Seeing that it was late at night, she took a nap and rested on the low couch in the next room, and told her servants that as soon as there was news Wake her up immediately.

So in the middle of the night, Xuan heard a loud cry while half asleep and half awake, not knowing whether it was a dream or not, hurriedly put on his clothes, got up and walked to the next room, stood outside the door and asked about the situation inside.

The maidservant guarding the door announced the good news to her through the double-leaf fan: “Old lady, the first child has come out, and it’s a young gentleman!”

Xuan was overjoyed when he heard the words, and asked again: “When will the second one come out? Is Madam all right?”

“Wen Po said that after the first child is born, the second child will not be difficult, but it is not appropriate to open the door to let the wind in, so I have to trouble the old lady to sit aside for a while.”

She nodded, although she was thinking about her grandson, but because Yuan Cixian was still in labor, she resisted not going in, and walked back. After burning incense, she suddenly heard a panic noise from the next door, and she was anxious Had to knock again.

This time the door opened immediately, and the servant girl saw her and said: “Old lady, the second child is a little lady, but the little lady has not cried, and the women are in a hurry.”

A pair of dragons and phoenixes is originally a happy event, but it is a bad omen if the child does not cry, fearing that there is a danger of premature death, Xuanshi hurriedly stepped in: “What’s going on, let me see!”

The two stable women were patting the child on the back, trying to see if there was something stuck in his throat. Yuan Cixian also panicked on the bed, she was so happy that she wanted to ask them to take the little man who had been washed outside to have a look together, but now her heart is completely on the little lady, and she wants to get out of bed after throwing off the quilt.

It’s just that she gave birth for a full seven hours, and she didn’t faint immediately because she was supported by the joy in her heart. Her legs and feet didn’t have any strength, but when they touched the ground, they softened and fell back on the bed.

Shi Cui and Pick Zhi knew that she was thinking of the child in her heart, so she would not be able to lie down, and it was useless to persuade her, so they hurried to help her up.

Xuan Shi was also helping the two stable women pinch the child’s back, but saw that the little baby was silent, his forehead was getting darker and blacker, and his face was gradually becoming lifeless.

Yuan Cixian stepped forward with trembling hands, took the child from their arms, and lifted her upside down to pat her without saying a word.

No one in the room dared to make a sound, but she didn’t know where the strength came from. The slaps were harder and harder, and finally at the seventh slap, the child was vomiting blood and crying anxiously. up.

The people around were surprised and delighted. Yuan Cixian staggered and collapsed under the strain, and almost failed to hold the child, but fortunately was held steady by two stable women.

Xuan wiped the corners of her eyes with a silk handkerchief, and said to her: “It’s all right, it’s all right, rest now!” Then he ordered the two stable women, “Go outside and wash the little lady!”

Yuan Cixian breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to sit back on the bed, when she suddenly heard the woman Wen who hurried outside with the child in her arms say in surprise, “Where is Mr. Xiaolang?”

Everyone in the room was taken aback for a moment, Xuan Shi slowed down before Yuan Cixian, and hurried out to look, and saw that the rocking car where Xiao Langjun was lying was empty, and then looked around, and suddenly felt uncomfortable A good idea comes.

Shi Cui, who came out with Xuan Shi, also noticed something was wrong, and hurriedly asked: “Where is the other woman Wen?” After that, he hurriedly opened the door and asked the maid who guarded the door outside.

The maid didn’t understand, so she said: “Wen Po came out just now, and said to go outside to get some things, but she was empty-handed and didn’t hold Mr. Xiao Lang, so the maid let me go.”

When Yuan Cixian heard this, her heart that had just fallen was suspended again, and being supported by Caizhi, she staggered to the outside, and asked Shicui anxiously: “The one who didn’t see is that Wen Po who came later?”

Her question hit the nail on the head, and everyone in the room sank in unison.

The first two stable women who came here were reliable people arranged by Lu Shiqing before he went back to Uighur, but the third one who arrived later was temporarily invited to help. At that time, the situation was urgent and there was no need to worry about it, but now that I think about it, the Yuan and Lu families have high status, and the offspring they gave birth to are more important and special than other families, so it is indeed a bit risky.

And just a while ago, everyone, including Yuan Cixian, focused on the little lady who couldn’t cry, and indeed missed the movement outside.

But the problem is that Mrs. Wen left empty-handed, and because of Lu Shiqing’s order before leaving, the main courtyard has sent extra people to protect Yuan Cixian’s safety day and night, and even there are servants guarding the window. Why didn’t you see it?

The Wen woman was invited by the Xuan family. After figuring out what was going on inside, she became dizzy in a panic, took a step back, and was almost held by the maid beside her.

A room full of old people, small ones, and chaos all at once, but Yuan Cixian managed to calm down and make a quick decision, and ordered the servant girl next to Xuan: “Help the old lady to the next room and find a doctor for a pulse diagnosis.” Then she looked at the two stable women. , “You also carry the little lady and move to the next door and take care of her. Pick up the branches and pick up the emerald greens to stay.”

Yuan Cixian repelled the servants at the side, supported his limp knee, opened the mechanism outside, and then said to the shocked two people: “Shi Cui, go and see if there are any clues left in this secret passage. Zhi, you follow the road you will pass from Mr. Xu’s mansion to the outside of the city, and lead people to chase after him.”

After Caizhi and Shicui took the barrier knife to lead the order, Yuan Cixian leaned against the wall and collapsed, his head was in chaos.

There is only a secret way, and it should be the only place that can take the child away without anyone noticing.

This secret passage is of great importance and should not be exposed easily, so even the two maidservants around her never mentioned it, but Cao An, the only person who knew about it, left Chang’an. Ask Shicui to go in and have a look.

Yuan Cixian was exhausted, holding on to his will, anxiously waiting for the news, and after about a stick of incense, he heard the rustling of footsteps coming from the other side of the secret road.

She leaned on the wall and stood up with difficulty, but was stunned by a sudden hand knife.

The moment he woke up again, Yuan Cixian understood all the cause and effect.

The Lu residence was heavily guarded, and Mrs. Wen stayed outside for a short time. In fact, she couldn’t find the entrance to the secret passage at all. What’s more, opening the secret door will definitely make a sound, even if she really figured out the mechanism, she can’t take the child away so quietly.

It was because she had just given birth to a child and was exhausted, her head was not very clear, and she had preconceived ideas about the secret passage, and she was blocked by it, and forgot to check other places outside.

In fact, when everyone was in a panic, the child was probably still in the house, hiding in a hidden place.

But now, she and the child have been robbed.

During the days when Lu Shiqing left Chang’an, the secret passage of Xu’s house was exposed. The other party walked all the way to Lu’s mansion, and then lurked inside, waiting for her to take the bait, waiting for her to open the secret passage on her own initiative, and marry him and herself. The child was delivered to him.

Yuan Cixian’s heart throbbed with remorse, but in the next moment she realized that something was wrong around her.

She was in a carriage, but the movement of the carriage was unusual, as if it was moving forward rapidly in a tilted posture. Ridges of moonlight came in and shone on her clothes, which made her wake up all of a sudden, and climbed up by pressing the sore back of her neck.

The windows and doors of the carriage were sealed with wooden slats, only a few gaps were exposed, and there was no one or horse outside, and the whole carriage was rolling on a long downhill road in the mountains. The **** seemed to be frost-covered and extremely slippery. And in front… She was panting nervously, through the cracks in the boards, she saw the situation clearly through the moonlight, and suddenly opened her eyes wide.

Ahead is a cliff.

The doors and windows were blocked, and she couldn’t jump out of the car. She had nothing at hand, and she tried to break the wooden sticks with her bare hands, but she didn’t budge even with all her strength.

Seeing that the cliff was getting closer and closer, Yuan Cixian suddenly heard the sound of trampling horseshoes behind him in desperation.

She turned her head suddenly, and within a few counts, she saw that the people behind her had caught up with the carriage, but it seemed that they couldn’t stop the carriage for a while, and she pulled out her waist knife on the galloping horse, and shouted to her: “Get out of the way!”

Yuan Cixian dodged quickly, and saw the sword light flashing in his hand, and he slashed like a mountain and ground.

The wood was broken with a knife, and the door was torn apart.

He stretched out a hand to her: “Give me your hand!”

Yuan Cixian sent out the express hand, and was dragged into his arms by him, but because of a forward momentum, he also slammed him off the horse.

The two fell straight towards the edge of the cliff, he protected her head with one hand, and stabbed the waist knife into the frosty ground with all his strength.
