The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1235: unknown
Chapter 1235 Life and Death Unknown
Even she, a woman in the harem, could guess this from the military report, let alone Bai Qingyan.
Although, considering the overall situation, Dong also thought it was right not to light the signal smoke, but Bai Qingyan was too bold. She was pregnant!
“Sister-in-law…” Fifth Madam Qi smiled and patted Dong’s arm. “Abao is the most sensible child. When you see her later, please don’t be mean to her! She must have been exhausted from the journey.”
“Yes, sister-in-law!” Third Madam Li couldn’t help laughing, “Abao and Jinxiu are the most trustworthy children in our family! Unlike Xiaosi, who is so reckless!”
Second Madam Liu held Wang Ge’er’s hand while he ate a piece of dessert. She smiled and bent down to wipe the corner of Wang Ge’er’s mouth. “A Bao is already the most worry-free child in our family. This time, A Bao did something worrying about the incident in Jiangzi City. I just need to say a few words to her! After all, A Bao is pregnant now!”
“Are you pleading for Abao, or do you want your sister-in-law to speak for Abao?” Third Madam Li couldn’t help but laugh.
Second Madam Liu smiled awkwardly, then said with a straight face: “We still have to talk about it! It’s too worrying! You said how dangerous the siege of Gyantse City is! Abao is too brave. If it weren’t for the Ninth Prince of Yan State leading his troops to help, if something really happened, we orphans and widows would cry to death and it wouldn’t help!”
Liu was really worried. When she heard the news that soldiers from Xiliang were besieging the city, and that old general Cui Shanzhong was in charge, and that Abao was alone in the city without her brothers and sisters, she was almost scared to faint. Later, she learned that it was the Ninth Prince of Yan who got the news and led his troops to rescue the city. That month, Liu went to the temple and lit a longevity lamp to pray for the Ninth Prince of Yan.
Seeing the carriage approaching slowly, Second Madam Liu was startled and said, “Here they come! Here they come! They’re back! They’re back!”
“Why hasn’t Xiao Ba come yet?” Fifth Madam Qi turned to look at Aunt Zhai and said with a smile, “Are you still sleeping in? You said yesterday that you would work harder than your elder sister did when she was a child and get up earlier, but today you’re still lazing in bed.”
Behind the carriage, Fu Ruoxi quickly chased after Bai Qingyan’s carriage with the battle report.
No one was allowed to ride a horse in the palace unless ordered to do so. Fu Ruoxi only had one arm left, so it was very difficult for her to chase.
“Your Majesty!” Fu Ruoxi breathed, “Your Majesty! Your Majesty, the battle report from Xiliang!”
“War report from Xiliang, Your Majesty!”
Fu Ruoxi’s voice came faintly. Bai Qingyan, who was tidying up his clothes in the carriage, paused and his scalp immediately tensed up: “Wei Zhong, stop the car!”
Wei Zhong, who was walking beside the carriage, quickly raised his hand and the carriage stopped immediately.
Wei Zhong glanced behind him and said, “Your Majesty, it’s General Fu, and he seems to be holding the Xiliang Army Report!”
According to the date, the affairs of Xiliang Yunjing should be settled.
“Miss! It must be good news from Yunjing!” Chunzhi looked happy.
Bai Qingyan lifted the curtain of the carriage and said, “Go and welcome General Fu!”
From a distance, Dong and the others saw the carriage stopped. Their hearts tightened suddenly, and they hurriedly took Madam Qin’s hand and took two steps down: “What’s wrong? Why did the carriage stop? Are you feeling unwell? Madam Qin, come… let’s go and take a look!”
Dong couldn’t wait a moment longer and led a group of eunuchs and palace maids towards the carriage.
Liu also followed behind Dong, holding the hem of her skirt in one hand and holding Wang’er’s hand in the other, and ran quickly towards the carriage.
Bai Qingyan had just bent down and came out of the carriage. Before she could get off the carriage, she snatched the Xiliang battle report handed to her by Wei Zhong. It was Bai Qingqi’s handwritten letter. She was reading it word by word. Her pupils shrank, and the blood color on her face gradually disappeared. Her heart was in pain as if it was being torn apart, and a surge of blood rushed to her heart…
The sky was clear at noon, without a single cloud in sight.
The huge square where the carriage was located was surrounded by towering eaves under the dazzling sunlight, and the white jade steps were dyed the most brilliant color by the golden sun.
The hooves of four horses were kicking, but Bai Qingyan was nowhere to be seen getting off the carriage.
She stared at the parchment military newspaper, her knuckles turning white as if she was about to pierce through the parchment, and her throat was tight and she could hardly breathe.
Chun Tao saw her eldest daughter’s face was as pale as paper, and called out cautiously: “Eldest daughter…”
“Fu Ruoxi!” Bai Qingyan raised his eyes to look at the breathless Fu Ruoxi, tightly clutching the military newspaper, and walked towards the carriage. His voice was hurled to the ground, and his anger and hatred were like a raging fire, as if chewing blood through the gums, “Immediately mobilize the Anping army, set off immediately, and conquer Xiliang with me…”
One step on empty air…
“His Majesty!”
“Big girl!”
The world was spinning, and Bai Qingyan fell heavily from the carriage onto the shiny bluestone floor of the square.
She felt a sharp pain in her abdomen, and the dense pain was tightly wrapped around her abdomen and waist. She held her stomach tightly and cried out in pain.
But the physical pain was far less than the pain in her heart that felt like thousands of ants were drilling into her heart, making her feel like she was living a life worse than death.
“Abao! Abao!” Mrs. Dong saw her daughter fall off the carriage with her own eyes. She was so frightened that her scalp was about to crack. She let go of Nanny Qin’s hand without paying attention to the rules, and ran quickly towards Bai Qingyan holding up her skirt. “Quick! Call the imperial physician! Call the imperial physician!”
Bai Qingyan’s aunts were also frightened. Fifth Madam Qi opened her eyes wide in shock. Her heartbeat almost jumped out of her mouth. She calmed herself down, turned her head and said quickly: “Hurry up! His Majesty is about to give birth! Prepare the delivery equipment and boil hot water! Let all the midwives who have been prepared in advance come over! Quick!”
Wei Zhong did not dare to delay, and stepped forward to pick up Bai Qingyan and put him in the carriage: “Quick! Go back to His Majesty’s bedroom!”
“Abao! Abao…” Dong followed and got on the carriage.
The carriage started moving and headed straight for Bai Qingyan’s bedroom.
Mrs. Dong held Bai Qingyan in her arms. She saw that Bai Qingyan’s face was pale, she was holding her abdomen tightly, curled up, and tears fell down: “Abao! Abao, don’t be afraid! Mother is here! Mother is here!”
Bai Qingyan was in so much pain that she couldn’t say a word. She tightly grasped the Xiliang War Report written by Bai Qingqi herself…
The original plan between the Great Zhou and the State of Yan was that Bai Qingyu would lead his troops to feign defeat, so that the Western Liang army could enter the State of Yan and ambush them and then destroy them!
But the news leaked out from somewhere and the people of Xiliang learned about it in advance. Cui Shanzhong led his troops to set an ambush before reaching the ambush site of the State of Yan. According to the Bai family soldier who escaped back to deliver a letter under Bai Qingyu’s command, Bai Qingyu was hit by several arrows.
When Bai Qingqi and his troops arrived, there were corpses everywhere. Bai Qingyu had disappeared, and even Xiaoqi and Bai Jinse, who had gone to the battlefield with Bai Qingyu, were not found. The fate of the two was unknown!
In Da Zhou, only a few people including the Bai family knew how the two armies fought, and it was impossible for them to reveal it to the outside world. If the news leaked out, it would definitely be on the side of Dayan.
Now Bai Qingqi has sent people to find out whether Bai Qingyu and Xiaoqi were captured alive by General Cui Shanzhong.
