Bai Mo washed the blood from his hands, just now he had concentrated his attention completely on suturing, now that he had relaxed he noticed the sound of fighting outside, at first he thought Xiao Yi Chen had set off firecrackers to celebrate in joy, he didn't think...someone would come to cause trouble at such a time
Nanny Rong nervously ran to Bai Mo with the little princess in swaddling clothes: "Miracle doctor, what should we do?" An assassin had snuck in and was fighting with the emperor in the courtyard, the sound was so loud, the empress has fallen asleep in tiredness from giving birth, what can the old and weak woman as well as children do?"
Mo Xiang held the little prince in her arms tightly, looking with worry at the unconscious Ji Ling Xue lying on the bed, mistress seems to be extremely tired, otherwise with such a loud disruption outside who can she not be awake.
Bai Mo raised an eyebrow, thinking it over, this can't be another one of Xiao Yi Chen's plan, maybe he had guessed someone would cause trouble taking advantage of Ji Ling Xue's labour, in order to find the person behind the plan, he got half the guards at Chenhua palace to withdraw.
Bai Mo waved his hand, looking calm and natural, "Don't panic, keep calm, with Yi Chen outside the fighting won't reach inside, there's also me the miracle doctor keeping watch so nothing will go wrong."
Bai Mo had just finished speaking when there were two rumbles, from the roof came two sounds of tiles breaking, two masked men in black jumped down, the naked swords in their hands glistened coldly under the candle light.
"Ah!" Nanny Rong screamed, her complexion deathly pale in fright, fortunately she still remembered she was holding the little princess, she hid behind Bai Mo like she was grasping at the last straw.
Even though nanny Rong was an elder in the palace, when did she ever face such a ferocious scene.
Mo Xiang was a lot more composed than nanny Rong, she had faced too many stormy seas by Ji Ling Xue's side, she was already calm, she placed the little prince down beside Ji Ling Xue, she stood in front of the two, using her body as a wall, holding up the sky for the mother and son, unless she fell, she would not allow anyone to harm her mistress and little master.
Bai Mo's lips twitched, did he have a crow's beak, why did whatever he say come true?
Nanny Rong nervously tugged on Bai Mo's sleeve: "Miracle doctor, one against two, can you handle it?"
Bai Mo waved his finger, "I haven't exercised my muscles in a while, there's just not a lot of space, it's hard for this miracle doctor to bring out my skills!" As he spoke, his figure moved, heading towards the closest man in black in attack, the other man in black went to attack Mo Xiang who looked weaker.
Mo Xiang lips raised into a sneer, she stood her ground not moving, Bai Mo blocked a few moves and looked back, raising his hand he picked up a stool and threw it towards the back of the man in black heading towards Mo Xiang, the man in black turned and split the stool in half with the sword in his hand, the broken wood fell onto the floor with a clatter.
Bai Mo gave Mo Xiang a "you don't need to thank me, it was nothing" look.
Mo Xiang however rolled her eyes, meddlesome! Did she ask him to save her? If he hadn't meddled, that man in black would have taken two more steps and the poison she had scattered in the air would have taken effect already, but he had ruined it.
Such a loud sound, even the deep sleep Ji Ling Xue was startled awake, she opened her rather heavy eyelids, looking around her, she saw nanny Rong still holding a swaddling bundle behind Bai Mo and the son sleeping soundly behind her, she calmed down a lot.
Mo Xiang helped Ji Ling Xue up: "Mistress, are you alright?"
Ji Ling Xue glanced at the additional two men in black in the room, then turned to Mo Xiang: "Where's the emperor?"
There were unexpectedly two assassins, it was clear they were rather skilled, they were very familiar with the layout of the palace, their target was also very clear, it was to hinder her birth.
Xiao Yi Chen must have taken precautions against this beforehand, yet he didn't even have a secret guard, it seems someone had lured them away.
Mo Xiang said: "Mistress, there are also assassins outside who came from nowhere, the emperor is caught up, just now they were still fighting outside, the sound seems to be further away now, it seems he's been lured away."
Ji Ling Xue nodded, nanny Rong saw Ji Ling Xue had woken, she joyfully ran over to her, suddenly a shadow flashed in front, her hands were empty, the child in swaddling clothes had already been snatched by a man in black, nanny Rong cried out in alarm, "Ah...give me the little princess!"
The assassin in black sneered, he jumped through the hole in the roof and left, Bai Mo wanted to give chase but was impeded by the other assassin, the two were fighting closely with each other.
Mo Xiang broke into a run outside, not forgetting to say to Ji Ling Xue, "Mistress, this servant will get the little princess back!" Her words fell and her figure disappeared into the darkness.
Nanny Rong sobbed, she wanted to apologise and ask to die in front of Ji Ling Xue, "Empress, it's this old servant's fault...this old servant made a mistake...if anything happens to the little princess, this old servant can only die..."
Ji Ling Xue frowned, she hated to hear such demoralising words, even though she was anxious that her just born daughter was snatched away before even having a mouthful of her milk, she consoled nanny Rong: "Nanny don't talk like that...it's not your fault, even if you weren't here, she would still have been taken." She was after all the daughter of Xiao Yi Chen, and is their deadliest weak point.
Nanny Rong continued to kowtow and apologise, "This old servant is at fault, it doesn't matter if empress blames me or not, this old servant already has no way to forgive herself, if this old servant was calmer, more careful, the little princess wouldn't have been taken...now it's unknown whether she's alive or dead."
The more nanny Rong spoke, the more worried Ji Ling Xue was, but her body wasn't well, the difficult birth had practically used up all her strength, now she didn't even have the energy to move a little, she could only pray to the heaven to pity her daughter, don't let her suffer.
Bai Mo held a surgical knife in his hand, he stabbed the main artery in the assassin in black's neck, this was deadly, people died with the flow of blood.
The assassin in black fell to the floor, his eyes wide open, a pool of blood gradually covered the floor.
Bai Mo turned to look at the pale and the dulled eyed Ji Ling Xue, "Are you alright?" Why did he feel like there was no life in Ji Ling Xue's eyes right now, her soul seemed to have left her body.
Ji Ling Xue muttered: "Bai Mo, my daughter was taken..."
Bai Mo nodded, "It's good you're fine, I'll go find her for you." As he spoke he flew outside, his figure like lightning, in a blink he was gone.
Bai Mo who had left came face to face with Xiao Yi Chen, Xiao Yi Chen said: "Did something happen in Chenhua palace?"
Bai Mo nodded: "Two assassins showed up, they worked together to take the just born little princess, Mo Xiang gave chase, I'm also about to do the same."
Just now that fake imperial guard had deliberately lured him away, the imperial kitchen was also infiltrated by assassins, the patrolling imperial guards were lured away.
Creating a diversion, was a good plan.
Xiao Yi Chen calm face became more gloomy, who would try to ruin his happiness right now, Yuchi Gong Ru was already dead, Ji Ling Qing had also passed away, Yi Yun was also chased out of the palace by him.
"Which way did they go?" Xiao Yi Chen asked.
Bai Mo said: "I'm afraid they'll leave the palace."
The two used all their light martial arts to fly towards the palace gates, on the limestone steps at the palace gate they found Mo Xiang lying in a pool of blood clutching the baby and the assassin in black.
Bai Mo picked up the baby in Mo Xiang's arm and gave it to Xiao Yi Chen, checking Mo Xiang and the assassins breathing, he shook his head, indicating there was no way to save them.
Mo Xiang grabbed Bai Mo's hand, weakly saying: "I...took...the little princess back." As she spoke, she spat out blood.
Bai Mo nodded, "Girl, I really underestimated you, so amazing."
Mo Xiang gave a bitter laugh, "I used poison..." Only she accidentally got infected.
Bai Mo: "Is there any words you want me to pass on?"
Mo Xiang nodded, using all her strength to look at Xiao Yi Chen holding the baby, "I'm sorry your majesty...I tried my best...the little princess...was also poisoned...the poison is very strange...even I don't have an antidote..."
Xiao Yi Chen looked down at the baby in the swaddling cloth whose lips had turned purple, the softest part of his heart was touched, he wanted to cry for no reason.
Bai Mo said: "Girl, don't worry, as long as I live, I will find a way to cure her."
Mo Xiang grinned, the blood at the edge of her lips made the smile look so poignant...
Mo Xiang: "Help...help me tell my mistress...I...I can't serve her anymore..."
Bai Mo nodded, "I will, I will pass on your message."
Mo Xiang smiled, the smile on her lips gradually faded, her eyes closed powerlessly, falling into an eternal sleep.
Xiao Yi Chen held the baby, a cold air around him, an imperial guard hurried over kneeling for coming too late to protect the emperor.
Xiao Yi Chen coldly ordered: "Find out for us, who did this." None of the assassins from today lived, there was no way to find out who was behind this.
The sun slowly rose from the darkness, it was dawn.
"Empress, you haven't slept for a night, rest first, this old servant will guard over you and the young prince..." Nanny Rong knelt in front of Ji Ling Xue persuading patiently.
Ji Ling Xue's eyes were red, she had just gone through a difficult birth, then her daughter was taken, it was hard for her to not feel restless, nanny Rong blamed herself continuously.
Dadada, footsteps could be heard from the door, Ji Ling Xue raised her head in anticipation, Xiao Yi Chen came in with the sun at his back, in his arms was the lost little princess.
Ji Ling Xue cried tears of joy, "You've returned, quickly come over for me to see."
Xiao Yi Chen walked to Ji Ling Xue, placing the daughter and son safely by Ji Ling Xue's side, the little princess who had taken a stroll outside had returned with rather purple lips, she was still sleeping soundly.
Xiao Yi Chen said: "The assassins identities are still being looked into, the princess has been poisoned, I asked Bai Mo, this poison isn't fatal, only..."
"Only what?" Ji Ling Xue asked quickly, her hand gently stroking her daughter's face, happy yet guilty.
Xiao Yi Chen was silent for a while then said: "In order to save the little princess, Mo Xiang...passed away from this strange poison."
A tear rolled down from the corner of Ji Ling Xue's eye, it landed with a splash on the bedding.
Ji Ling Xue muttered: "Did she have any dying words..."
Xiao Yi Chen nodded, repeating what Mo Xiang had said, patting Ji Ling Xue's shoulder in comfort: "Xue Er, don't blame yourself...we promise you we will revenge Mo Xiang, I will posthumously bestow her the title of princess, she will be buried as a princess, gifts will be given to her family..."
Bai Mo washed the blood from his hands, just now he had concentrated his attention completely on suturing, now that he had relaxed he noticed the sound of fighting outside, at first he thought Xiao Yi Chen had set off firecrackers to celebrate in joy, he didn't think...someone would come to cause trouble at such a time
