Chapter 224 Production
The servants quickly brought splints for the fingers, and the atmosphere instantly became extremely tense.
Xiao Yiming and Madam Xiao Er's faces turned pale, and their eyes were filled with fear and despair.
"No! No! You can't do this! We are your relatives!" Mrs. Xiao shouted at the top of her lungs, tears mixed with blood at the corners of her mouth, making her look particularly miserable.
The boy put their hands in the handrails and pulled the deck.
A heart-wrenching sound suddenly rang out in the room.
"ah…………"
The fingers were connected to their hearts, and the intense pain made the two struggle and scream.
Madam Xiao Er hurriedly begged for mercy.
"Fushu, ah... Second Aunt is begging you, please... let us go. We promise we won't bother you again. We only came to you this time because we were forced into a desperate situation!"
Xiao Fushu remained unmoved, her voice was as cold as ice.
"Where is Xiao Funian?"
Xiao Si's hands were getting stronger and stronger, and both of their fingers were bleeding. If they continued to pinch like this, their fingers would definitely be broken, and their hands would be unable to do anything and they would be useless.
Xiao Yiming couldn't bear it any longer, as he couldn't become a useless person.
"Fushu, I'll tell you, I'll tell you..."
Xiao Fushu raised his hand and the servant finally stopped the execution.
"I don't like wasting time. I hope you won't play any tricks, otherwise I won't be the one who suffers."
Xiao Yiming was breathing heavily, his eyes full of fear and regret, and he spoke in a trembling voice.
"Fu...Fu Nian is not at home. He was taken away!"
"The people who brought him said that we can only survive if we can get the Regent Princess out. I... we really have no other choice."
Madam Xiao II endured the pain in her hand, crawled to Xiao Fushuo's side, and reached out to pull her skirt.
"Fushu, Second Aunt is begging you, please save Fu Nian. We are really being forced. You know, we only have this one son, and Second Aunt can't live without Fu Nian..."
There was indeed someone behind this, Xiao Fushu frowned and spoke.
"If you really want to save my life, tell me in detail what happened."
Xiao Yiming gritted his teeth and spoke while looking at Xiao Fusu.
“Fushu, Second Uncle knows that it was wrong of us to make such a fuss in front of the Imperial Master, but since Funian was arrested, we were also implicated by you.”
"We are far away from home, and it is impossible for us to offend the people in the imperial city. Although we were unwilling to break up our relationship at the beginning, Fu Nian persuaded us again and again, and even had a few big arguments with us, forbidding us to disturb us."
"We've let go of the past two years, and Fu Nian is studying hard. He said he'd use his abilities to support us in our old age. He even thought about waiting until after the New Year to rush to the Imperial City to participate in the Spring Examination. He just didn't want to come too early to disturb you."
"But half a month ago, someone suddenly showed up and took Fu Nian away. The people who took him away told us to come to the Regent's Palace to cause trouble. We went there and found out that Fu Guang was in the Imperial Master's Mansion, so we went there. You know what happened next."
This is targeting my sister. My sister is not in the imperial city now. It seems that someone has become suspicious. Xiao Fushu took a deep breath and decided to stay calm and not give the enemy any opportunity to take advantage of him.
"But did you see what the person who took Fu Nian away looked like?"
Xiao Yiming and Madam Xiao Er looked at each other, confusion and fear in their eyes.
Xiao Yiming shook his head, his voice filled with tears.
"Those people were dressed in black, with their faces covered and swords on their bodies. We couldn't see their faces at all."
Madam Xiao thought about it and suddenly her eyes lit up.
"Oh, now I remember. That guy has a black tattoo on his wrist. It looks like a weird pattern."
"They wanted to take Fu Nian with them, and I was anxious and tried to pull them away."
"Black tattoo?" Xiao Fushu frowned and thought, who could it be?
"You are all staying in the Marquis' Mansion now. You are not allowed to go anywhere. I will send someone to look for Fu Nian. If he is still alive, I will do my best to rescue him."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yiming spoke hurriedly.
"Fushu, you better hurry up. Those people are very vicious and we didn't let Fuguang out. I'm worried..."
Xiao Fushu glanced at Xiao Yiming coldly.
"If you had come to the Marquis' Mansion from the beginning and explained the situation to me, things wouldn't have turned out like this."
"Amber, take them down first and keep them under close watch. Don't let them run away, and don't let anyone get close to them."
Madam Xiao Er was taken away, looking back as she walked.
"Fushu, you promised me that you must save Fu Nian."
Xiao Yiming also spoke loudly.
"It's you who have implicated us this time, Xiao Fushu. We didn't mean to disturb you. As long as Funian is alive, we will leave immediately, but if he... you and Fuguang are also our enemies."
Listening to their threats, Xiao Fusu couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead. If that was the case, they were indeed implicated.
"Wind Ridge."
A man in black appeared.
"Third Miss."
Xiao Fushu spoke in a deep voice.
"Check whether these two have come into contact with anyone since arriving in the Imperial City. Also, check if anyone in the Imperial City has the pattern on their wrist."
Feng Ling bowed.
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Looking at Feng Ling's leaving back, Xiao Fushu's face darkened. Feng Ling was asked by his sister to protect the Xiao family, and he was also a man in the underworld. He hoped that he could find out something.
In the palace.
The Queen was preparing to rest.
The palace maid came hurriedly.
"Empress, Concubine Shu is bleeding."
The queen stood up hurriedly, her tone a little hurried.
"She's about to give birth, Aunt Fang, hurry up and change my clothes."
"Lian Xin, have all the imperial physicians go to Yongchun Palace and wait."
"Come here, go and invite the emperor."
The entire palace was busy because Concubine Shu was about to give birth. In the brightly lit Yongchun Palace, the palace maids and eunuchs came in and out, but they all maintained extreme silence and did not dare to make any unnecessary noise.
The queen rushed over and saw Concubine Shu lying on the bed with a painful look on her face. Her heart tightened.
Mrs. Cui stood up hurriedly.
"Your Majesty has seen..."
The queen walked directly to the bed and waved her hand.
"Never mind all that etiquette."
"Shu Guifei, how are you?" The Queen sat beside the bed, holding Shu Guifei's hand tightly, her eyes full of concern.
Concubine Shu was in so much pain that she could hardly speak and could only hold the Queen's hand tightly.
"Empress, I'm afraid..."
Giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell for a woman. Concubine Shu was raised in the Cui family as a spoiled child, so she must have been very scared when she encountered such a big thing.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here with you."
The queen comforted softly.
"Your mother is here with you, and the Emperor should be here soon. I've already called all the doctors and midwives, and I've already found a midwife. You just need to follow their instructions and give birth to the baby safely."
