Chapter 299 Departure
"It seems that Consort Yao is in grave danger!"
Xie Cangming raised his hand to rub his aching temples and yawned, looking extremely tired and sleepy.
"Didn't you just check on her fetal spirit yesterday? How could things be so badly done for her?"
Xuan Yuan frowned, a hint of worry creeping onto his face. After all, Consort Yao was Ye Wumian's beloved, and Yan'er seemed to like her too...
"Man proposes, God disposes. How could I have known she would suddenly have a difficult childbirth? Besides, are all the doctors at the Imperial Hospital just sitting around doing nothing?"
Xie Cangming spoke casually, showing no concern whatsoever, and then turned and left, leaving behind only a casual remark.
"Since you don't acknowledge your brother, that Consort Gui can't be considered your elder sister-in-law either. Besides, the child in her womb isn't your nephew. There's no need to worry too much. Go back and rest as soon as possible, and get enough rest to set off the day after tomorrow!"
After speaking, the snow-white figure disappeared around the corner.
Xin Moling's eyes flashed coldly, and she sneered, "Hmph! I knew he was always so cold-blooded. He was just like this when I begged him to save Yan'er."
Just then, Hua Buyu opened the door and ran out, her eyes filled with tears, looking completely distraught.
"Waaaaah~ The imperial physician said that Ruoyu and the baby can only choose one. Ye Wumian wants the adult, and Ruoyu wants the child. This... I really can't bear to watch anymore, waaaaah~"
Hua Buyu squatted on the ground, her hands on her knees, sobbing uncontrollably. Her shoulders were shaking. This was the first time she had ever witnessed such a cruel and heartbreaking scene. It was too tragic...
"A gentle breeze blows."
Suddenly called out, Feng Qingyang looked up and met his gaze, completely bewildered. "What? A-Yuan, I'm not a midwife..."
"Stop talking nonsense and get in!"
Xuan Yuan's face darkened, and he directly gave him an order.
Feng Qingyang grumbled unhappily, "Didn't Xie Cangming say that Consort Yao isn't your elder sister-in-law, and that child isn't your biological nephew either..."
He raised his hand to interrupt Feng Qingyang's protest, "I know you have a way, go in!"
Hua Buyu raised her head, her eyes brimming with tears, and roared, "Feng Qingyang, doctors have the hearts of parents! Are you just going to stand by and watch Ruoyu and her unborn child die together?"
"No! I never save people I have nothing to do with. If it weren't for Xie Cangming, I wouldn't have saved the princess that day. Besides, Xie Cangming said that Consort Yao has nothing to do with A Yuan. She's still a woman, so I don't want to save her even more."
This is Feng Qingyang's eccentric personality; he doesn't save people he's not related to, nor does he like to save women.
Xuan Yuan glanced at him coldly, staring at him and saying slowly and deliberately, "Yao Ruoyu is my sister-in-law, and her child is my nephew. With such a relationship, can you save her?"
"This……"
Feng Qingyang blinked, and a crack seemed to appear on his gentle, jade-like face; he was utterly shocked.
"A-Yuan, you..."
Xuan Yuan was no longer going to tolerate him. "Feng Qingyang, if you utter another word of nonsense, don't even think about traveling together the day after tomorrow."
"Squeak~"
The palace doors were pushed open in the blink of an eye, and Feng Qingyang rolled up his sleeves and rushed inside.
Xin Moling raised an eyebrow. "You... admit that you're the Night Emperor?"
"But right now, her and her child's lives are the most important thing."
Xuan Yuan explained calmly, acknowledging them only in the moment, and then returning to the beginning...
The three waited outside the door for another hour until they heard the faint cry of a baby.
A palace maid ran out with a joyful expression and immediately informed them of the situation inside the palace. Thanks to Feng Qingyang's tireless efforts, Yao Ruoyu finally mustered her last bit of strength and successfully gave birth to the child. Because of the premature birth and the fact that the child had been in the womb for a long time, the child was initially unable to cry. It was Feng Qingyang who personally helped, and the mother and daughter were finally out of danger.
Feng Qingyang also instructed that in the coming months, both adults and children should be carefully cared for and not exposed to the slightest cold. Fortunately, Yao Ruoyu was physically strong, and the child was lucky to survive. If it were an ordinary person, both the mother and child would have died long ago.
Hearing this, Ye Wumian was terrified. He felt heartbroken for the woman lying on the bed, who had lost too much blood. He was also filled with remorse. He knew that Ruoyu was in dire straits because of his torment over the past six months. He felt even more guilty towards the mother and daughter and wished he could give them the best medicine.
Upon hearing the news that the mother and daughter were safe, Xuan Yuan and Xin Moling both breathed a sigh of relief. They were also deeply moved by the perilous nature of childbirth for women, but they did not linger any longer. As Xie Cangming had said, they would definitely rest well tomorrow so that they would have the energy to travel far the day after tomorrow...
The royal family was overjoyed to have a little princess. The Emperor was delighted and granted a general amnesty, exempting all officials from court and bestowing ten taels of gold upon each household, so that all people could celebrate together.
This sudden bestowal of favor by the tyrannical king excited the people of the entire Yelan territory. They were grateful to the previously unheard-of noble consort and happy that the Yelan royal family had an heir.
Two days later, a group of eight people, led by Xuan Yuan, Xin Moling, Hua Buyu, Xie Cangming, and Feng Qingyang, and accompanied by Fei E Liuqing and Qing Que, boarded the ship on time.
The giant ship was manipulated by skilled craftsmen using special methods, making it easier to operate. Only one person needed to control the direction of travel from the center, and the ship could be steered by the wind and controlled at will.
"Ah Yuan, have you prepared everything? Is there anything you've forgotten?"
Ye Wumian stood with his hands behind his back below the boat, his eye sockets noticeably sunken, and a fine stubble growing on his chin. He hadn't slept a wink for the past two days, taking care of everything for the mother and daughter. At first, he was a bit overwhelmed, but thankfully, he was getting better and better at it. He could now put his daughter to sleep and change her diapers on his own...
"Everything is ready, you..."
Looking at Ye Wumian's haggard appearance, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Well... never mind, you should hurry up and leave! Your eldest niece is about to wake up, I need to go back and comfort her."
Ye Wumian waved his hand, his face full of indifference and impatience, but a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes. He believed that A Yuan would definitely find Gu Cang and bring Xiao Yan'er back.
He'd heard it too; this guy had privately admitted it to him the other day, and that Feng Qingyang had been forced by him to save Ruoyu. Heh~
"Okay, brother, let's go!"
Xuan Yuan turned around, patted Xin Moling on the shoulder, and then stepped onto the deck without looking back.
This startled Xin Moling. She looked up at the man in red in front of her. He curled his lips and a smile flashed across his eyes.
"Night Emperor, he told you he's setting off!"
"hold head high?"
Once he understood, his captivating face gradually became multicolored. The eight people had already boarded the ship, and apart from Xuan Yuan, the other seven were all looking down from the deck.
At this moment, he was truly happy, a happiness that came from the deepest part of his heart. In just over a month, he had a wife, a daughter, and now a younger brother—all the family affection he had longed for for many years…
He shouted towards the receding ships, "Ah Yuan, you must be careful!"
