Despite her weakened state, she got up and tried to snatch her child back from the masked man.
Suddenly feeling a thick, warm flow in her lower body, she lowered her eyes.
Blood stained her trouser leg.
Li Wenshu hadn't paid much attention to it before, thinking that it wasn't surprising for a baby to have bleeding after its first birth.
The next moment, she heard the masked man whisper in a hoarse voice:
"I'm taking the child with me!" Clearly, without a hostage, he couldn't leave.
"Don't do anything rash!" Li Wenshu exclaimed, her face turning pale with fright.
He Lin was furious.
Who exactly are you?
However, the masked man didn't even glance at him.
He stared at Li Wenshu's firm eyebrows and eyes, his expression full of apology.
The poor child was crying loudly.
The sound of crying broke Li Wenshu's heart.
She stared intently at the masked man's features.
Suddenly, her previously grieving heart felt a sense of relief.
She shook her head. "Don't do anything reckless."
"Put the child down!" He Lin brandished his sword to stop them, but...
The masked man's throwing knife was already pointed at the child's neck.
He Lin was forced to stop what he was doing.
"Stop!" Li Wenshu shouted sharply at the masked man.
She was in agony and shook her head violently at the masked man, watching helplessly as he carried the child away from her sight.
Li Wenshu was too weak to keep up, and the other child she was carrying slipped from her grasp, nearly falling to the ground.
Fortunately, He Lin caught it safely.
He Lin, carrying the other child, immediately gave chase, his eyes fixed on the masked man's actions of holding the child.
He suspected that the masked man was one of Shu'er's previous suitors.
"Are you the eldest prince?"
The masked man ignored him, his expression remaining unchanged. Taking advantage of the brief moment...
He tried to escape with the baby in his arms, but was stopped by Gu Qian, who had just killed all the men in black.
Knowing he was no match for Gu Qian, the masked man subconsciously tightened his grip on his wrist.
Inside the room, Li Wenshu felt a warmth return to her lower body. At that moment, she felt dizzy due to excessive blood loss.
At that moment, she realized...
I'm afraid I won't survive.
She brought this upon herself; even a miracle couldn't save her life.
She looked dazed and shook her head at Gu Qian outside the courtyard.
"Senior brother, let him go!"
Gu Qian...
He paused slightly, exchanged a couple of feints with the masked man, and began to hold back.
He Lin listened to Li Wenshu's voice,
Let him go.
A surge of intense jealousy welled up in my heart.
The masked man didn't have time to escape, but He Lin blocked his way.
He Lin roared, "Who exactly are you?"
The masked man remained silent.
He paused slightly, and several throwing knives shot out with a whoosh.
Taking advantage of a gap, he grabbed the child and fled as fast as he could.
"Stop!" He Lin quickly gave chase.
He didn't believe the masked man would actually kill the child.
Gu Qian did not participate in the fight.
The reason is that the masked man was no match for He Lin.
However, to everyone's surprise, the masked man once again pressed the throwing knife against the child's neck as a threat, forcing He Lin to stop in his tracks once more.
Seeing this, Li Wenshu said urgently,
"Senior brother, save the child!"
The man in black instinctively withdrew his hand, but his hand continued to move.
He Lin panicked, and even tightened his grip on the child.
The other child in his arms also burst into tears because of his actions.
"Don't do anything reckless!"
You could tell that He Lin was genuinely worried about the child.
Gu Qian: "..."
The masked man in front of me looked like...
That seems a bit silly.
"If you harm the child, you will only face death!"
The masked man remained silent, still in the same position, holding the child tightly with one hand and pressing a throwing knife against the child's neck with the other.
Then, while holding the child, he threatened He Lin and retreated step by step towards the courtyard gate.
But just as they retreated to the courtyard gate,
Several black-clad guards suddenly appeared beside him.
The next moment,
One of the guards shot an arrow into the masked man's shoulder.
He was in pain.
Realizing something was wrong, he suddenly turned around.
He Lin, wielding his longsword, had already attacked.
At this moment, it had already pierced his chest.
It's too late to hide.
He slowly closed his eyes, still maintaining the same posture as before.
Li Wenshu's tears welled up instantly.
In a split second, she lunged forward and stood in front of the masked man.
With a soft thud, the longsword pierced Li Wenshu's flesh, striking her shoulder blade squarely.
Gu Qian reacted quickly, managing to grasp only half of the blade.
Then, he quickly helped Li Wenshu up.
Gu Qian glared at He Lin with resentment.
He Lin was completely stunned.
He kept shaking his head, "No, no!"
He had no intention of harming Shu'er.
He urgently called out to Zhan Yue, who was standing nearby, "Quickly, summon the imperial physician!"
Having just dealt with the men in black outside and only recently been admitted to the hospital, Zhan Yue disappeared without hesitation.
The moment the masked man's eyes widened in shock...
Just as he was about to hug Li Wenshu, she pushed him away with a slap.
With her last ounce of strength, Li Wenshu shoved the masked man outside the courtyard gate with a single blow, yelling at him urgently:
"Hurry up, hurry up!"
At this moment, the masked man was still holding the child he had just snatched.
Left with no other choice, he carried the child and disappeared while being chased by several bodyguards.
Li Wenshu's body went limp, and she collapsed to the ground.
He Lin tossed the child in his arms to Gu Qian, and with lightning speed, caught Li Wenshu and held her tightly in his arms.
Seeing her blood-stained clothes, he simply assumed it was from childbirth and didn't think much of it.
Gu Qian felt the same way, but he couldn't help but worry deeply about his junior sister's health.
He Lin's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at Li Wenshu's slightly lowered gaze. He then spoke sharply to the guard beside her.
"Chase him! Dig three feet into the ground to find him! I will tear him to pieces!"
Then, he carried Li Wenshu's body and quickly entered her boudoir.
"Li Wenshu, who was that man just now?!" He Lin was filled with remorse. At this moment, he felt deeply that Li Wenshu had betrayed him.
"I have no idea."
Li Wenshu shook her head, and under He Lin's angry and hateful gaze, she closed her eyes slightly, avoiding his gaze.
"Li Wenshu!" He Lin threw Li Wenshu onto the bed.
"You actually risked your life to save him. He's trying to kill me to get you, do you even know that? Did you ever consider how I feel?"
Li Wenshu: "..." She didn't want to reply to this question.
She knew that the man had kept his promise, and it was she who had wronged him.
Gu Qian, carrying the child, followed closely into the house, his eyes filled with sorrow.
"The child." Li Wenshu weakly raised her hand, and saw Gu Qian squat down and hold the child in front of her.
Li Wenshu took the child from Gu Qian's arms, tears streaming down her face.
"My child, I can't bear to part with you."
Her eyes were filled with reluctance.
Blood from his palm soaked the child's cheek.
Li Wenshu hurriedly wiped away the bloodstains from the child while crying, but the more she wiped, the more bloodstains appeared.
He Lin stood there dumbfounded for a moment, then, looking at Li Wenshu's stubborn face,
Say one thing,
"Shu'er, since you are unwilling to come to the palace with me, then so be it!"
