Chapter 134 Meng Yiyao's Memories 2
Ye Yunchu's hair was tied up with a jade crown, and he was dressed in dark black robes. At this moment, his handsome brows were tightly furrowed, and he was no longer as carefree as before! He clenched his fists tightly!
The relentless pursuit over the past three days has taken its toll on him! Moreover, his beloved Yao'er is about to give birth, yet he has to endure this arduous journey without sleep. He's been so useless, causing his sweetheart so much suffering. Now Yao'er's pregnancy has hit a rough patch and she probably won't last much longer, but their pursuers are still hot on their heels. What are they to do?
If he finds out who is behind all this, he will use all the power in Wuyang City to grind them to dust and avenge this day!
It hurts. It hurts so much. Brother Ye, am I about to die?
Ye Yunchu's heart clenched, his hands trembling as he gripped Meng Yiyao's hands tightly. "Silly Yao'er, what nonsense are you talking about! Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. We're just having a baby, we won't die! You'll be alright! Qingyin is ten miles ahead to meet us, and there's a midwife too, they're all waiting there! Yao'er, don't be afraid, just hold on a little longer!"
Ye Yunchu kept comforting his little Yao'er, but his heart was filled with bitterness. Little did he know that he was even more afraid than his Yao'er! Her pain was more painful for him, her fear was more terrifying for him! He dared not think any further, suppressing his trembling heart and forcing himself to calm down! He was Yao'er's support, and he had to protect his Yao'er and their child!
"Yao'er, hang in there a little longer, the carriage will be here soon. If it hurts, just bite your husband!" His anxious words were filled with tenderness, affection, and gentleness. He then stretched out his arm and offered it to Meng Yiyao's lips.
Just then, the sound of rapidly moving hooves and clashing weapons came from outside the carriage. The noise was chaotic and disorderly, clearly indicating a large number of people.
Meng Yiyao's soft moan turned into a scream.
Qingchi, who was driving the cart, had obviously heard the noise behind him, and his grip on the whip tightened. Veins bulged beside his white knuckles, and a fine layer of cold sweat beaded on his forehead.
What should we do, Master? Should we continue on our journey? Madam is about to give birth. Who sent these damned people? Qingfeng and the others are likely doomed. Master, I'll cover their retreat!
You and your wife should go first!
Ye Yunchu, inside the carriage, was also filled with resentment and anger!
Tension, pain, and a host of other emotions surfaced on her face. Her usual calm and composure were nowhere to be found; even looking at her bloodied arm, she felt no pain. The worry and anguish in her heart had completely overwhelmed her senses!
No need, Qingchi. Clearly, these people planned this all along. We are outnumbered and outgunned. And tonight, it's not just one force that has come.
There are three or four groups of people; if you go, you'll only be throwing your life away. Master, Qingchi will risk his life to protect you and your wife.
Besides, Madam has a young master. Master! Please agree to Qingchi's request!
Qingchi swears to be loyal to his master to the death!
No need to say more, these people are all after me and Yao'er! They won't give up until they achieve their goal. Wait until Madam gives birth. You will escort Madam and the child to General Gu's mansion in the capital. Take this jade pendant and go find Gu Fengyuan.
I entrust my wife and children to him. My wife and I once saved his life! We owe him a life-saving grace! I believe he will take good care of my wife and children.
My lord, please let Qingchi stay! Madam cannot live without you!
Aoike's order is not to be changed!
Qingchi sensed the resolute and unyielding tone in his words. He no longer objected. He knew that once his master made a decision, there was no possibility of change. "Very well! Your subordinate will not fail your trust."
He took the jade pendant from her hand and carefully tucked it into her bosom.
This jade pendant is called the Purple-Gold Double Pendant, also known as the Yin-Yang Pendant! One side is purple, and the other is gold! Purple belongs to Yin, and metal belongs to Yang! The Yin side feels cool to the touch, while the Yang side feels warm! Wearing it close to the body can keep you warm in winter and cool in summer, nourishing your meridians! There is only one pair of these jade pendants in the world; they are the token of love between the master and his wife, and also a symbol of Wuyang City!
Now that his master has entrusted both his mistress and young master to him, Qingchi feels an immense weight on his shoulders! Today, even if it costs him his life, he must protect his young master and mistress to live up to his master's trust!
The sounds of fighting behind them grew clearer and clearer. Five or six men in black broke free from the battle and sped towards the carriage.
Just then, ah! ah! A heart-wrenching scream, accompanied by the loud cry of a newborn baby, pierced the darkness. Waaaaaah…
Inside the train carriage, Meng Yiyao leaned weakly against Ye Wuyai's arms, her eyes misty with tears. She gazed at the baby girl in her swaddling clothes with deep reluctance.
Touching the baby girl's face, tears streamed down her cheeks like a broken string of pearls. "My child, my poor child! I'm so sorry, the enemy is at hand. I can't leave your father alone. You'll have to suffer! Once your father and I have driven away the bad guys, we'll come to take you home, okay?" Her gentle whisper seemed both a promise and a farewell.
Seeing these scenes, Gu Lingxi couldn't help but feel sad. The original owner's biological mother still loved the original owner very much!
Yao'er, if you go with the child, then Brother Ye won't have any worries! Yao'er, be good and don't throw a tantrum, okay?
Meng Yiyao didn't respond, but continued to speak to herself, "Brother Ye, how about giving her a name? How about... Ye Lingxi?"
"Alright! Let's call her Ye Lingxi! It's a very nice name! Just as beautiful as my Yao'er!" Ye Yunchu sighed inwardly. He knew that once his little girl made up her mind, nothing could change it. Helpless, he could only stop trying to persuade her. Well, as long as he was there, he could definitely keep his Yao'er safe and sound.
Qingchi, carrying the child, hurried away! Meng Yiyao steeled her heart and shoved the child into Qingchi's arms! "Madam, aren't you coming with me?"
Yao'er, you?
Alright! You two, stop talking nonsense! Qingchi, hurry up and leave, or it'll be too late! Go find Brother Gu and ask him to take care of the child for me! If Brother Ye and I manage to escape this time, we'll go to the Gu residence to pick her up! Hurry. If not… then I beg Brother Gu, I'll repay this kindness in the next life! The rest of her words grew softer and softer until they were swallowed by her own lips, and Meng Yiyao was sobbing uncontrollably!
Knowing his two masters' temperaments well, Qingchi didn't hesitate any longer. Holding the little master in his arms, he knelt on one knee and said, "Qinglong bids farewell to his masters and wishes them well!" After saying this, he turned around and disappeared into the vast darkness, rushing away into the distance!
Ye Yunchu pulled Meng Yiyao into his arms and buried his head in her hair. "Yao'er, I'm sorry for making you suffer. It's my fault for not being able to protect you and our daughter."
It is said that men do not easily shed tears, but only when they are deeply saddened! At this moment, Ye Yunchu held Meng Yiyao tightly, and hot tears dripped onto Meng Yiyao's fair neck. With such a wife, what more could a husband ask for!
