After the Fourteenth Prince left, Zhu Wanqing slept alone in bed. Whether it was because the baby in her belly was restless or because she had concerns, she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
Zhu Wanqing called out a few times, but no one answered. Remembering that the Fourteenth Prince had specifically asked all the maids to leave before he left, and told Zhu Wanqing to rest well so as not to be disturbed, Zhu Wanqing felt thirsty. So she got up, dressed again, and went to the table to pour herself a glass of water.
The room was silent; the entire island seemed to be asleep. Zhu Wanqing thought about the Fourteenth Prince's tenderness and care for her during this time, feeling incredibly sweet. Since she couldn't sleep anyway, Zhu Wanqing decided to write something while waiting for the Fourteenth Prince to return.
So Zhu Wanqing, supporting her pregnant belly, walked to her desk, lit the lamp, and began to write seriously.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew the window open, and then the candle on the candlestick went out. A chilling wind blew in, making Zhu Wanqing shiver involuntarily.
Zhu Wanqing glanced involuntarily at the window; it was pitch black outside. Her heart tightened, and she complained, "Who opened the window?" Zhu Wanqing stared at the window for a long time. Although she possessed martial arts skills, she was pregnant and dared not use them rashly. A cold wind howled in, and Zhu Wanqing shivered slightly. She hesitated, wondering whether to close the window…
Suddenly, a white shadow appeared at the window, flickering in and out of sight with the wind...
Zhu Wanqing trembled all over, fear swept over her, a numbness ran down her back, her mind went blank, and her body became uncontrollable and unable to move.
Being a woman, she was most afraid of ghosts and other ethereal things. Zhu Wanqing felt a sharp pain in her stomach and quickly touched her belly, saying anxiously, "Don't be afraid, child. Your mother is here. Your mother will protect you!"
When Zhu Wanqing looked up again, there was nothing left in the window!
The room was pitch black, and the surrounding air grew increasingly dark and cold. It seemed as if an invisible force was constantly compressing the air, making Zhu Wanqing feel like she couldn't breathe. She was panting heavily and sweating profusely.
"Help! Help!" Zhu Wanqing shouted at the top of her lungs, but there was no response from outside the house.
Zhu Wanqing, being the leader of the White Lotus Sect and possessing martial arts skills, steeled herself and stood up, slowly inching towards the window. Just a few steps from the window, a white shadow suddenly appeared from nowhere, flashing before Zhu Wanqing's eyes. Caught off guard, Zhu Wanqing recoiled in fright!
"Ah...what is that? Don't come any closer!"
Just then, Zhu Wanqing's foot suddenly kicked something furry. At that moment, Zhu Wanqing pressed herself tightly against the wall, extremely nervous, holding her breath and trembling. She was terrified that some strange thing on the ground would pounce on her.
A white shadow nimbly darted onto the roof, stared at Zhu Wanqing with two gleaming eyes, then squeaked a few times and ran away. Zhu Wanqing finally breathed a sigh of relief and wiped away her cold sweat. She slid off the wall and sat down on the ground, unable to recover for a long time.
After Zhu Wanqing calmed down, she struggled to get up again and groped around at the window. She looked around but found nothing there.
Zhu Wanqing, clutching her pounding heart, endured the excruciating pain in her stomach and, with her last strength, cried out loudly, "Help! Help!"
