The leading captain sneered suddenly and gritted his teeth and said,
"Princess? The power of the palace is now in the hands of the Imperial Concubine! What does the princess's order mean?"
"Someone! Capture her!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several royal guards surrounded him!
"Since you've fallen into this trap yourself, don't blame us—"
Before he could finish his words, Yuan Nan'an suddenly moved!
She kicked off her feet and rushed out like an arrow, sweeping her spear across, instantly deflecting several spear tips that were stabbing at her.
He spun around to avoid the incoming blade, grabbed the leading captain's wrist with his backhand, and twisted it hard!
"Ah!" The captain groaned in pain, and the spear in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.
The Royal Guards did not expect that the little girl in front of them would have such amazing skills.
Yuan Nan'an's spear tip turned like a dragon, easily cutting the hemp ropes that bound the imperial doctors.
The imperial doctors had been trapped for a long time and their bodies had already become stiff. Some of the older ones even nearly fell to the ground.
Yuan Nan'an held one of the elderly doctors with one hand, but the whip in the other hand never stopped.
The spear swept across suddenly, forcing the rushing Royal Guards back several steps.
"Who is Doctor Chen?"
Her eyes were as sharp as torches, fixed on the people who had been untied.
After a moment, a gray-haired old man raised his hand tremblingly.
"This old man... This old man is..."
Yuan Nan'an looked at him and said without hesitation: "Follow me!"
As soon as the words fell, a sharp gust of wind suddenly hit—
“Stop them!”
The captain's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared and waved his hand. Several royal guards rushed forward again, swords and spears fired, determined to stop her.
Yuan Nan'an's eyes sternly turned, and he shouted in a low voice: "Hold tight!"
As soon as Doctor Chen reacted, she grabbed his shoulder and lifted him into the air!
The doctors around were all stunned - this little girl was so strong!
The long spears of the imperial guards came through the wind, but Yuan Nan'an was agile and jumped onto the roof of the Imperial Hospital with a flip of his spear and whip.
The roof tiles trembled slightly in the cold wind. The royal guards looked up and watched her standing in the wind, her spear shining coldly in the moonlight.
"Chase!" the captain shouted angrily and immediately ordered his men to climb onto the roof.
But how could Yuan Nan'an give them a chance?
She stepped on the roof with her toes, and her whole body flew towards the palace wall at a rapid speed like an agile eagle!
"Stop her—!"
The sound of dense arrows breaking through the air was heard behind him. The Royal Guards had actually given up on close encirclement and switched to shooting with bows and crossbows!
Yuan Nan'an snorted coldly, and as the whip of his gun swung, several flying arrows were shot down in an instant.
But she knew that this was not a long-term solution and she had to break through quickly.
She glanced ahead—
The palace wall is right in front of us!
Yuan Nan'an took a deep breath, kicked off his feet, and his figure swept across the top of the palace wall like a meteor, drawing a stunning arc under the moonlight!
The countless royal guards behind him only had time to see a black shadow flying past, and were still in shock.
Outside the palace wall, Yuan Xuan had been waiting on horseback for a long time. When he saw the figure flying out, he immediately urged his horse forward.
Fushan and Fuyu provided support at the same time.
Yuan Nan'an and Doctor Chen landed steadily on the horse's back!
"Walk!"
The two of them shouted almost at the same time, and Yuan Xuan immediately spurred his horse into a gallop, disappearing into the night.
Behind him, the Royal Guards stood on the palace wall, looking at the disappearing figure, their faces ashen.
The captain was so furious that he punched the wall hard.
…
In the princess's mansion, Song Yunci was lying on the bed, her face as pale as paper, cold sweat dripping down her forehead, soaking her hair.
Her fingertips had already turned white from the force, and she held Yuan Zhao's hand tightly, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.
The midwife was so anxious that she was sweating all over and kept trying to persuade him.
"Mother! Push harder! The baby's head is already halfway out, just a little bit more! Push a little harder!"
Another midwife skillfully wiped the sweat from Song Yunci's forehead, her voice anxious.
"My Queen, please don't faint! The child is stuck. If we stop now, it will be dangerous!"
Yuan Zhao didn't care about her status as the Crown Princess or the Princess at this moment. She knelt beside the bed, tightly holding Song Yunci's hand, her voice trembling.
"Sister-in-law! Hold on a little longer! The doctor will be here soon!"
Song Yunci's vision went dark and his consciousness gradually became blurred, as if even the pain had become numb.
She opened her lips slightly, her voice so weak that it was almost inaudible.
"Where's Ah Cheng...Xuan'er...have they...come?"
Hearing this, Yuan Zhao's eyes became hot and his heart ached.
She knew that what Song Yunci was most concerned about at this moment was her husband and children.
She leaned over and whispered softly but firmly into her ear.
"Sister-in-law, Xuan'er has gone to the palace to fetch the imperial physician, and my brother will be here soon!"
"Hold on a little longer! He will definitely come back!"
Song Yunci's trembling eyelashes moved, as if she had listened to Yuan Zhao's words. She took a deep breath with great effort, clenched her teeth again, and used up all her strength...
"ah--!"
…
Inside the delivery room, the air was still heavy, the baby's cry had not yet been heard, and everyone was busy and nervous.
At this time, Gan Tang hurried in from outside, looking a little panicked, and whispered in Yuan Zhao's ear in a low voice,
"Your Highness, several midwives have arrived, claiming to be sent by the Crown Princess's family..."
Yuan Zhao was sweating profusely as he wiped the sweat off Song Yunci's forehead. When he heard this, he almost subconsciously spoke.
