He reassured Bai Qingyan, promising to do everything in his power to find Bai Qingyu and the child Bai Jinse.
Their fate unknown...
At this moment, Bai Qingyan’s mind was filled with that dream, where A Yu was struck by several arrows, covered in blood, calling out to her... begging her to save him! And in her mind, she saw the smiling face of the child Bai Jinzhi looking up at her.
She should have been more cautious!
Her rebirth was already a blessing from heaven, and this time heaven gave her a warning dream, yet she dismissed it as merely a dream!
Those four words, ’fate unknown,’ tore at her insides like a twisting hook.
Bai Qingyan’s lips were tightly pressed, her entire body drenched in sweat from the pain, as she tightly clenched the military report, unwilling to let her mother see and worry.
Yan Kingdom...
Was it truly the Yan Kingdom?
Was it Xiao Rongyan?
If it were Xiao Rongyan...
Pain washed over Bai Qingyan, so intense that she nearly blacked out, yet she gritted her teeth and refused to let out a sound.
No, it wasn’t Xiao Rongyan!
Could it be... the Empress Dowager Yan?
Bai Qingyan recalled what Bai Jintong wrote in the letter, mentioning that the Empress Dowager Yan seemed to have secretly sent people to Xiliang, and that people from Xiliang had secretly entered the Yanhuang Palace.
Then, was it not Xiao Rongyan, but instead he informed the Empress Dowager Yan of the war tactics discussed between Zhou and the Yan Kingdom, hoping to ease his sister-in-law’s mind, leading to the Bai family army... and A Yu and the child falling into such a calamity?
Before Bai Qingyan could piece together her confused and chaotic thoughts, she was already sent into the prepared... delivery room in the side hall of the bedchamber.
Mrs. Dong sat by the bedside, using a cloth to wipe Bai Qingyan’s sweat; several of her aunts were present, all of whom had experience with childbirth and were able to help until the midwife arrived.
Mrs. Liu instructed Nanny Luo to take Brother Wang back home and arranged for someone to cook thick ginseng soup for Bai Qingyan, to use if necessary.
Mrs. Li whispered to Bai Qingyan, "Kid, this pain... comes in waves, when it doesn’t hurt, take a few sips of water, don’t scream... conserve your strength, wait for the midwife to tell you to push, then push with all your might! Don’t push early, pushing early could hurt you!"
After speaking, Mrs. Li felt she had said something redundant; Kid was the last person to be unable to endure pain, no matter how severely injured she had been before, she never complained.
Before the eighth girl Bai Wanqing could approach Bai Qingyan’s bedchamber, she was stopped by Nanny Zhai, who was by the side of the fifth Madam Qi.
Soon, Bai Qingyan received the military report from Xiliang, and news of her accidental fall from the carriage spread.
Commandant Lu, Minister Shen, and Minister Dong had already learned of the Xiliang war report and immediately went to the palace without delay.
