Chapter 223 Where is the other one?
As the sky gradually darkened, more and more people knelt on the street to pray. When it was time for dinner, they went to eat, and after eating, they came out again to kneel and pray, praying that Bu Ruo could give birth safely.
At this moment, countless men in black were moving through the alleys of Kyoto like ghosts, heading towards the Regent's Palace.
When it was almost midnight, Xiao Yulan frowned and lowered his head to kiss Bu Ruo's forehead: "Be good, Ruo'er. I will go out and deal with those people and then come back to accompany you."
Seeing Bu Ruo nodded weakly, Xiao Yulan got up and walked out reluctantly.
"My Lord, how is the princess?"
"It's all right for now. Cen Nan and Cen Bei, you two, guard the room. If anyone breaks in, no matter who they are, they will be killed. No one can be allowed in alive. You must not disturb the princess."
Cen Nan and Cen Bei exchanged a glance and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will guard this room with my life and will not let anyone get in."
After Xiao Yulan finished instructing Cen Nan and Cen Bei, he looked at Xiao Hanfei and said, "Your Majesty, there's going to be a fierce battle here soon. Would you mind letting the secret guards escort you back to the palace first?"
Unexpectedly, Xiao Hanfei, who was always obedient, was very firm at this moment: "Uncle, I am not afraid. I am also skilled in martial arts. I will stay here with Cen Nan and Cen Bei to protect Aunt Huang. I will never let Uncle Huang have any worries."
"As long as the Heavenly Master is not eliminated, the Imperial Aunt and the children will not be safe. You don't have to worry about my nephew. If anything happens to him, the Great Zhou will rely on my Imperial Uncle."
Xiao Yulan sighed, patted his shoulder, looked at everyone and warned: "Remember, don't leave this yard unless it is absolutely necessary. The yard is the safest."
After saying that, Xiao Yulan flashed to the roof and set up a barrier around the entire yard. Once the barrier was formed, even mosquitoes avoided it.
Just as the first sound of weapons clashing was heard, Bi'er opened the door and came out.
"The princess asked me to give one of these flowers to each person in the courtyard, and told them to keep them with them, as they could save their lives in critical moments."
Cen Nan carefully took all the flowers and handed them out one by one to everyone, until the end...
"Hmm? Princess, are you in so much pain that you're not thinking straight? Why is there an extra flower?"
“Mmm…Mmm…”
"Your Majesty, why don't you take this extra flower? Although I don't know if this is double insurance, it certainly won't hurt to have an extra flower."
“Mmm…Mmm…”
Xiao Hanfei coughed lightly and pointed at the eaves pillar next to him: "Where is the other one?"
Cen Nan turned around and saw someone tied to a pillar by Doctor Du. He smiled awkwardly, "Haha, um... I'm sorry, I forgot about you in my nervousness."
“Mmmmm…Mmmmm…”
"I see. I'll put it on you right away. Where should I put it on? Put it on your hair. It will look so beautiful."
“Mmm…”
"Hey, I've already put it on for you, so stop swearing at me. Okay, you stay here. I'm going to go guard the princess."
“Mmmmm…”
"Oh, you want to ask about the princess. The princess is fine, and the prince is fine too. He is on the roof right now. Judging from the current situation and the deployment we discussed earlier, it will take the Heavenly Master's men at least an hour to get here. Don't worry, they are not targeting you. You are safe for now."
Xiao Hanfei looked at Jin Congcong with some sympathy: "Cen Nan...why don't you put him down? This place is too obvious. I'm afraid that if they attack later, the young doctor Jin will suffer another disaster."
Cen Nan thought for a moment and nodded, "Your Majesty, what you said makes sense. I'll tie him up somewhere else."
Xiao Hanfei: ...
Jin Congcong: ...
As soon as Jin Congcong untied the rope on his body, he ran to the door of Bu Ruo's room with a broom in his hand.
"No need... no need to tie me up. I was a sweeping fairy in my previous life. Maybe I can use my spiritual power to help at a critical moment."
"I... I can be the last... well... it might not be very useful. But what if I am useful?"
"Although I am afraid of death, extremely afraid of death, the person inside is Ruo'er, so don't worry, given the friendship we have since childhood, I will definitely not run away."
Cen Nan snorted, "I have no doubt about that. I have no doubt that you would protect the princess with your life. After all, if anything happened to the princess, you would be buried alive with her."
Jin Congcong blushed slightly when his thoughts were seen through: "Anyway, I will protect Ruo'er no matter what, so don't tie me up anymore."
Just when Cen Nan was hesitating, Bu Ruo's voice came out: "Cen Nan, just let him stay there. If the emperor is in danger, throw him out. If you tie him up, it will waste time."
Jin Congcong: ...
"My dear little aunt, can you just focus on giving birth to your child? Don't worry about the things outside. I'm here... well... Cen Nan and the others will definitely be fine. They don't have to abandon me."
Bu Ruoli ignored him and continued weakly, "Cen Nan, remember what I said. If the emperor is in danger, throw that idiot out. The emperor must not be in any danger. Do you hear me?"
Cen Nan looked at Jin Congcong and nodded firmly: "Yes, Princess, I heard it. If the emperor is in danger, I will throw Master Jin. Don't worry, I remember this and will not let the emperor get into any trouble."
Xiao Hanfei, who was guarding the door, was touched that the imperial aunt still cared about his safety. From childhood to adulthood, no one except his mother had been so kind to him and cared about him so much.
He looked at the door with a determined look: "Don't worry, auntie, you just need to focus on giving birth to your nephew's brother and sister. Your nephew will never let anyone disturb you."
Jin Congcong: ...
Yes, yes, yes, you are brothers and sisters, and you have a deep affection between uncle and nephew. Nothing must happen to you. I am useless and can be thrown out at any time when danger occurs.
Jin Congcong looked at this, then looked at that, then squatted at the door of the room holding his broom pitifully, wanting to cry but unable to.
After a long time...
"Cen Bei, did you really only say two words?"
Cen Bei:......
"yes."
"Okay, then I won't worry about it anymore."
After Jin Congcong finished speaking, he thought for a while, silently took out his last two copper coins from his sleeve pocket, looked at them again and again, and then placed them neatly at the door of Bu Ruo's room.
"What are you doing? The princess is fine, why are you so anxious to pay tribute?"
Jin Congcong glanced at Cen Nan and said, "What do you know? I once heard someone say that the last bit of money a person has is good luck, and some of it can be used to turn things around."
"This is my last copper coin. I'm putting it here to bless Ruo'er to be safe."
