From the moment she decided to come to Beizhou, Mu Qian knew that she would never see them again. As long as she entered Beizhou, she would see them again sooner or later.
The two finally sat face to face at the hotel where Mu Qian and Chi Si were staying.
However, this meeting seemed a little different from the last time.
Lingsu changed out of Nanzhou clothes and wore a traditional Beizhou style robe with silver silk threads showing off begonia flowers.
When she was a girl, she looked so smart and lively wearing such a skirt. Now wearing this long skirt, she actually looks more maternal.
"Are you looking for me because of Helian Shang?" Mu Qian asked straight to the point.
Lingsu glanced at her side. Although Lili, who was responsible for taking care of her, was not close, she was not far away either. She could hear their conversation.
"I want to eat red cake, please go down and buy it for me."
Of course Lili knew that Madam was trying to push her away, so she turned around and walked out of the hotel without saying anything.
"We don't have to beat around the bush, I already know the purpose of you and Chi Si coming to Beizhou." Lingsu said.
Mu Qian looked back and saw that Chi Si was already on the other side doing business.
Every night, people who came back from investigations from all over Beizhou would summarize the information and hand it over to Heng Li, who would then come over and report to Chi Si.
They all seem to be working hard to find the descendants of the ghost clan.
"After we returned to Licheng, the news coming from all over the continent every day was several times more than before. He spent almost all his energy searching for the descendants of the ghost clan. I think Miss Yun should be able to give me an explanation."
Mu Qian looked at the person in front of her. The aura in her movements was completely different from before.
That innocent girl finally matured, which is good.
"Your top priority now is to take good care of your health and give birth to this child safely. This is the most important thing." Mu Qian only said.
Lingsu's hand holding the cup tightened, and his expression was obviously not good, "You don't have to evade the serious matter. If you don't want to tell me, I have a way to find out by myself."
Regarding her persecution, Mu Qian did not intend to tell the truth.
She knew that Lingsu had recognized her, and there were some words that didn't need to be said, as both of them understood in their hearts.
"If He Lianshang was willing to tell you, you wouldn't come to my place." Mu Qian only replied.
This sentence caused Lingsu to completely collapse. She sneered and suddenly reached out and grabbed Mu Qian's hand on the table.
Sharp pain came from the palm of his hand, as if something had pierced into the flesh. Mu Qian frowned slightly, but made no movement to attack.
"Are you laughing at me?!" Lingsu's eyes were red, "I know everyone is laughing at me. They keep calling me little madam. Aren't they just laughing at me for being a little wife?!"
Lingsu held her hand harder and harder, and wet and hot liquid seemed to emerge from his palm.
"Everyone looks down on me. I can't even keep my husband's heart. Is it funny? Do you think I'm a joke from the beginning to the end?!"
Her voice suddenly increased, attracting the attention of others in the hall.
Chi Si raised his eyes and saw Mu Qian, who was entangled in Lingsu. The man frowned and stood up, striding over.
"Since you have left, why are you coming back? Since you have chosen not to contact any of us, you should disappear completely!!"
The last words seemed like she had tried her best to say them.
Chi Si stepped forward to separate the two of them. When he saw the blood on Mu Qian's hand, the man's expression turned stern.
Before he could attack, he was caught by the people around him.
Mu Qian shook her head at him.
Lili also returned after shopping. Seeing this situation, she hurriedly took the driver up and blocked Lingsu.
"Mrs. Helian, I don't want to see you a second time." Chi Si only said one sentence.
Lili supported Lingsu and was a little overwhelmed when she saw her hands full of blood. When did the lady get injured?
Now if I have a wound on my body, I don’t know how to explain it to the marshal when I get back.
"Miss Yun..." Lili was about to say something when someone around her held her tightly.
"Let's go back."
Lili could only help her walk outside the hotel. She didn't dare to let out the breath she was holding back until she walked out of the door.
The look in the gentleman's eyes just now was really frightening to death.
If Miss Yun hadn't been holding on to him, she had the feeling that he and the others would all die there.
"Why are you stopping me?" Chi Si looked down at her.
Mu Qian chuckled. She had a vague feeling in her heart, but she didn't know why.
"From the moment I picked her up, protecting her has almost become my instinct. During those days in Beizhou, she never left me and took care of me."
There has long been a family-like relationship between them.
"Go back and treat your wound." Chi Si grabbed her wrist and headed to the elevator.
Mu Qian took a moment and turned back to look at Heng Li, who had been silent. "You arrange for someone to follow her and listen to what's going on in the Wei'an Army building."
Heng Li nodded and walked out, while Chi Si led someone into the room.
"There is still time to worry about others."
Mu Qian watched as he took the medical kit and came over to squat in front of her. Lingsu almost dug the nails of all five fingers into her skin.
As she pulled and scratched, of course a lot of blood came out, which looked a bit shocking.
"It's very cruel." Chi Si took some alcohol cotton to disinfect her, "You still have to protect her like this."
Mu Qian shook her head, and the doubts in her eyes had not dissipated, "It's strange because she is so cruel. She has a very soft personality. Even if she is bullied to the point of being bullied, she will at most just curse."
After all, after spending so long with her, Mu Qian couldn't understand Lingsu's temperament.
Uncharacteristically, there must be something wrong.
"Have you ever thought about what has changed during the time you left? Whether the person in front of you now is still the same person you knew at the beginning, with the same original intention."
Mu Qian understood what Chi Si meant. People's hearts are unpredictable. People who get along day and night will change, let alone if they have been away for a long time.
But she believed that she would not be wrong when looking at people, and more importantly, she also believed in Lingsu's character.
"I gave her her name. When I picked her up, she was lying dying among the dead. She promised me loyalty and I gave her protection." Mu Qian chuckled.
If a person really wants to do evil, her eyes cannot deceive others.
During the farewell in the imperial capital, she believed that Lingsu had already made up his mind to say goodbye to her. Her and Chi Si's arrival in Beizhou was completely beyond her expectation.
Mu Qian could see her feelings for He Lianshang from her eyes. If it were the eyes of an ordinary person, what he saw might be very simple.
"I hope you're not mistaken."
Chi Si cleaned her wound and stood up. Fortunately, although there was a lot of blood, the wound was not deep or large. The five-crescent-shaped wound was now showing a faint tendency to scab.
"What does the news say?" Mu Qian looked up at him and asked.
Chi Si lowered his head and placed a soft kiss on her forehead, as if to calm her down, "Still looking, I already have something in mind."
After the man finished speaking, he walked to the desk to deal with the documents, leaving Mu Qian sitting alone on the sofa with her head lowered and contemplating the wound on her palm.
I don't know if it was her misunderstanding, but when Lingsu looked back at her, Mu Qian could see a bit of determination.
She rarely has that look in her eyes, there must be something wrong with it.
However, she was not kept waiting too long. Mu Qian was bored and looked through a few maps he had brought with him.
In these books, there is also a biography of Beizhou that she has not read before. It records the origin of Beizhou, its topography and climate, and even the distribution and origin of the Spirit Tribe.
Some information about the ghost clan was floating on the paper. It was already late at night after she read it several times.
The closed door suddenly opened, and Heng Li strode in.
He looked at Mu Qian's serious face, and she immediately understood that something might have happened.
"The news from Licheng is that Mrs. Helian started the operation as soon as she left. It seems that she is going to give birth prematurely."
Mu Qian frowned upon hearing this, "Isn't she just eight months old?"
"I don't know. Now the doctors and nurses have gone to the building, and we haven't heard any sound of the baby being born."
Their people are still guarding outside, and no news has been revealed yet.
All I know is that the Wei An Army invited the best doctors to rush there overnight. The entire building serves as the permanent residence of the Wei An Army, and one of the best military doctors lives on the 50th floor.
And in order to take care of Lingsu who was about to give birth, the best obstetricians and gynecologists in Licheng had also been contacted in advance.
Outside the closed door, Helianshang, who had just finished handling the matter, went to guard outside.
Lu Ye, who had never seen a woman give birth to a child before, followed Helianshang and glanced at the closed door with some worry.
"Why can't I hear the little lady's cry?"
Isn’t it heartbreaking for women to give birth? Why is there no movement at all?
"The little madam's prenatal check-ups have always been fine, and there is still some time before the due date. She will not have an attack early for no reason." Cheng Ming said.
After hearing his words, Helian Shang looked at the people waiting with lowered eyes.
They are all the people responsible for taking care of Lingsu closely. They all know who she sees and what happens to her every day.
"Who did Madam meet before she started?" Lu Ye asked immediately.
In this current situation, it is not ruled out that someone has plotted against me.
"Madam just came back from Xiucheng Town." The driver lowered his head and said.
Cheng Ming looked at Helian Shang, "Did the young lady go to see Yun Muqian?"
The little lady is now pregnant, and she is very careful not to run to Xiucheng Town in the middle of the night.
If she really must go, she will definitely meet someone special.
"Could it be that Yun Muqian did it?" Lu Ye asked.
Helian Shang only looked at him coldly, and Lu Ye shut his mouth knowingly. Did he just say the wrong thing?
Cheng Ming pulled the man aside silently and gave him a look to signal him not to speak.
"Do you need me to contact Fourth Master Chi?"
If Madam saw them last, it's unclear what happened.
Helian Shang sat back and clasped his hands on his knees, "No need, the top priority is that she gives birth to the child safely."
Cheng Ming also understood in his heart that the late pregnancy was not very peaceful to begin with, and the factors for a pregnant woman's sudden premature birth were complicated. Now, the most important thing is to be able to give birth safely.
In the room, Lingsu, who was already surrounded by midwives and doctors, was covered in sweat, and the sheets underneath him were wrinkled.
"Madam, don't be afraid, just relax." The nurse comforted her softly.
After the doctor finished all the examinations, his face was solemn, and several doctors gathered together to discuss the plan.
"If the fetal position is incorrect, it will be very difficult to give birth naturally, and the mother's body will be in danger."
Therefore, to be on the safe side, caesarean section is the best choice and the safest.
Lili, who was watching by the side, was anxiously circling around. The lady had been restless since she came back, and soon she started to have stomachache.
She was about to give birth prematurely.
"Get ready for surgery!"
Lili, who was standing nearby, was kicked out. She tried her best to lower her presence and stood behind Helianshang.
She didn't know how to explain to the marshal that she had always been responsible for taking care of the wife, and now she was born prematurely.
They are inevitably responsible for poor care.
The people outside the door waited for days like years. I don't know how long it took. It wasn't until the cry of a baby was heard from inside the door that the people at the door stood up.
"It's happening, it's happening!" Lu Ye almost jumped up in excitement.
"Congratulations, Marshal." Cheng Ming said with a smile.
This is the marshal's first child, so he will naturally play an important role in their security army.
Helian Shang stood up and finally let go of his hanging breath.
The nurse walked out with the child in her arms and reported the situation respectfully, "Congratulations, Marshal, you are a young master."
Lu Ye cheered loudly from the side. This good news must be known to the entire security army.
The eldest son of the Marshal was born. This is a great event worthy of celebration by the entire Beizhou.
"Madam's condition is very stable and she needs a good rest. I will take the young master over for a checkup now."
From Helianshang's perspective, he could see the wrinkled little face wrapped in swaddling clothes, a very fragile but very powerful little life.
The corners of the usually indifferent man's lips couldn't help but rise. He slowly stretched out his hand and carefully touched the child's pink face with his fingertips.
The child seemed to sense it, and his little face moved.
Lili couldn't help but be moved when she saw this. Although the marshal looked cold, he would definitely be a good father.
The entire building instantly erupted in applause and cheers, and some soldiers rushed out of the building and shouted into the sky.
People passing by were a little confused, and then they saw the huge banners and the security guards taking to the streets to hand out wedding candies.
Only then did we know that the eldest son of the marshal was born, and everyone sincerely blessed and prayed for their marshal.
Wherever there are people in Licheng, there are sounds of cheering.
In the room where Lingsu was placed, the person on the bed woke up before the anesthetic took effect.
The servants who had been guarding all this time jumped for joy. Lingsu looked at the crystal lamp above his head, still feeling groggy.
