A sudden alarm shattered the island's usual tranquility. The Fourteenth Prince rushed outside and saw everyone on the island scrambling in panic. He grabbed a maid and asked urgently, "What's going on? Why are you all so panicked?"
Before the maid could even curtsy, she exclaimed in alarm, "Your Highness, you are unaware of this alarm, which only sounds when there is danger on the island. I don't know what's going on either. The sect leader ordered everyone to prepare to resist the enemy..." After saying this, she broke free from the Fourteenth Prince's hand and hurriedly ran away.
Fourteenth Prince's heart sank, and he began to search for Zhu Wanqing. He called out a few times in a hurry, and a hand grabbed Fourteenth Prince in a panic. When Fourteenth Prince turned around, Zhu Wanqing was looking at him in pain, covered in sweat.
The Fourteenth Prince picked up Zhu Wanqing and carried her back inside to settle her in before anxiously asking, "What happened? What's wrong?"
Zhu Wanqing clutched her stomach, frowning in discomfort, and said, "I'm fine! My stomach just hurts a little..." The Fourteenth Prince looked at the distressed Zhu Wanqing, at a loss for what to do. Finally, he simply pressed his ear against Zhu Wanqing's stomach and whispered, "Child, don't torment your mother!"
As luck would have it, Zhu Wanqing suddenly felt much better; her stomachache had indeed subsided. Overjoyed, she cupped the Fourteenth Prince's face in her hands and exclaimed excitedly, "Your Highness, it doesn't hurt anymore! The baby heard you..."
The Fourteenth Prince breathed a sigh of relief, hugged Zhu Wanqing, and asked worriedly, "What happened? What's wrong on the island?" Zhu Wanqing didn't hide anything, and said with a bitter smile, "My lord, we might be in danger! The Qing army is right outside the island, and it seems they're coming for us..."
The Fourteenth Prince was startled. He released Zhu Wanqing, stood up, and hurriedly walked to the window. Looking into the distance, he saw several dark dots slowly approaching.
“It’s an official ship! It’s sent by the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty!” Zhu Wanqing said angrily as she walked behind the Fourteenth Prince.
The Fourteenth Prince was extremely angry at this moment. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying, "Fourth Brother, how long are you going to push me?"
Zhu Wanqing looked at the furious Fourteenth Prince and said urgently, "Your Highness, your Fourth Brother, in his ruthless pursuit of extermination, didn't hesitate to massacre the entire Prince's Mansion. Now he has even found our hiding place, leaving you no way out at all..."
With red eyes, the Fourteenth Master slammed his fist into the wall and roared, "My wife and children's great revenge remains unavenged, and he actually came to my door of his own accord. It seems a battle today is unavoidable..."
Zhu Wanqing's eyes flashed, and she feigned surprise, asking, "Master? What are you going to do?"
The Fourteenth Prince snapped out of his daze, grasped Zhu Wanqing's shoulders, and comforted her, "Don't worry, I will definitely protect you and the child in your womb. You are my only family now, and I will never let Fourth Brother hurt you again..."
Zhu Wanqing was secretly delighted and excitedly grabbed the Fourteenth Prince, urging him, "Your Highness, it's too dangerous outside. I've already devised a battle plan. No matter what, even if it costs the entire White Lotus Sect, I will protect Your Highness's safety..."
Fourteenth Prince felt a warmth in his heart and gently embraced Zhu Wanqing, saying with emotion, "No! You've always been the one protecting me and never abandoning me. How can I let you suffer any more? I must go to war!"
Seeing that she had inspired Fourteenth Prince's fighting spirit, Zhu Wanqing was overjoyed. She deliberately looked down at her belly, gently stroked it, and said, "Child, did you hear that? Your father is going to fight for us!"
Zhu Wanqing was four months pregnant at this time, her belly slightly protruding. The Fourteenth Prince's heart softened slightly. He reached out and touched Zhu Wanqing's belly, saying firmly, "Child, you wait. Your father will fight to the death for your mother and you today, I swear I will not give up..." After saying this, the Fourteenth Prince looked into the distance and muttered to himself, "In the future, your father will definitely fight for half the country for you, so that you will no longer be limited or oppressed by others!"
