Chapter 387 Killing
The masked man suddenly handed her a sword, saying, "Su Xuan can't escape now, why don't you kill him yourself, Crown Princess?"
Jiang Fenghua took the sword and gave the masked man a deep look. She had come here to seek revenge on Su Xuan personally, to avenge the Jiang family from her previous life.
However, she deliberately pretended to have difficulty even drawing her sword, panting as she pulled the sword from its scabbard, threw the scabbard on the ground, and nearly lost her grip on the hilt.
The next second, Jiang Fenghua gripped her longsword with both hands and screamed, "Ah! Su Xuan, I'm going to kill you with my own hands!"
She merely called out without approaching, causing the surrounding guards to facepalm. However, they all received a signal from the masked man and refrained from making any rash moves.
Su Xuan sneered, "If you can kill me in a one-on-one fight, I'll kneel down and apologize to you."
“I’m not that stupid. I can’t beat you anyway. Fighting you would be like an egg hitting a rock,” she said.
She pretended her hands were trembling, and the sword in her hand almost fell to the ground. "Hurry up and do it. Do you expect me, the Crown Princess, to do it myself? I don't know any martial arts."
The next moment, the masked man suddenly appeared in front of her, lifted her hand, pointed the sword tip directly at Su Xuan, and said in a deep voice, "This subordinate will help you. You just need to aim at his throat and pierce it."
The masked man was holding a sword, and Jiang Fenghua was also holding a sword. However, comparing their postures, Jiang Fenghua's actions were simply ridiculous and foolish.
She asked, "May I?"
The masked man nodded. "Okay."
She lunged at Su Xuan without any strategy, while Su Xuan was also waiting for an opportunity to seize Jiang Fenghua.
However, after she made her move, the masked man followed closely and attacked her. Suddenly, their weapons clashed with a clang, sparks flying everywhere. Su Xuan's sword was blocking the masked man's sword, which did not aim for his vital points but instead slashed at his shoulder bone. Although he was wearing golden silk armor that was impervious to swords, the masked man's strike was enough to shatter his shoulder bone. He seemed to be playing around, and Jiang Fenghua only needed to find an opportunity to strike.
To outsiders, Jiang Fenghua seemed like a burden as she stepped forward with her sword, but Su Xuan tried to grab her, and she nimbly dodged, making it impossible for Su Xuan to catch her.
The next second, Su Xuan's expression turned terrified, and blood spurted from his neck: "You..."
Jiang Fenghua's sword accurately found his neck, yet she remained unfazed. Everyone was stunned by what she had just done.
Su Xuan stared blankly in Jiang Fenghua's direction. Judging from her skill in swordsmanship, he knew that Jiang Fenghua and the masked man were doing it on purpose.
Jiang Fenghua smiled slightly, "What I mean is that I need to find help to beat you."
Su Xuan was already dead, and his followers also fell to the ground one after another, knowing that being captured would also mean certain death.
The soldiers were also maintaining order. The entire restaurant was on fire, and those who couldn't escape inside would never escape. Of course, some did manage to escape, but they were all injured. It was a truly harrowing experience.

Meanwhile, the doctor was doing his best to treat Zhang Yumo, and a midwife had been brought in.
Jiang Jinyan kept communicating with the doctor, wondering how his condition could suddenly become so serious when everything was fine just a moment ago.
Jiang Rumeng stayed by her side, talking to her the whole time, "Mo'er, don't be afraid. Every woman has to go through childbirth. You must be strong. Just think about how cute your baby will be when he/she is born, and you won't be afraid of anything. I've had three children, and they were all born safely. You'll be fine too."
Zhang Yumo felt pain all over her body, and her ears were ringing. She was so confused that she could hardly hear what the doctor and midwife were saying.
She was in so much pain that she felt like she was going to faint. If she really fainted, the baby would be in danger. She endured the pain, her head was spinning, and she kept calling out the name "Jin Yan".
The midwife said, "The amniotic sac has broken, but the cervix is not dilated. If the cervix does not dilate soon, both the mother and the baby will be in danger of death... There may be severe bleeding, and neither the mother nor the baby will survive."
Jiang Rumeng said, "The fetus is already full-term, and the amniotic sac has broken. Doctor, can you think of something?"
"Madam's pulse is unstable and disordered. My medical skills are limited, so please forgive me for being unable to help," the doctor said again.
At this time, Jiang Fenghua also returned, and the matters outside were naturally handled by the officials.
Upon hearing the words "My medical skills are limited, and I am powerless to help," Jiang Fenghua immediately decided, "Go and fetch Physician Mei."
Ao Xue replied, "Yes."
Lin Yu chased after her, "Let's go together."
Ao Xue's eyes reddened slightly. "Okay."
Over here, Jiang Jinyan held Zhang Yumo's hand, and Zhang Yumo kept calling Jiang Jinyan's name.
He clearly remembered that he had always protected her, and that she was perfectly fine when he carried her back. How could she suddenly be like this? "Mo'er, wake up. I'm here. I've always been here."
Soon Physician Mei was also brought over. Jiang Jinyan said, "Please, Physician Mei, save Mo'er and the child."
Physician Mei bowed slightly to Jiang Fenghua and began to take her pulse. After a moment, he said, "Now we can only force labor to bring the child out, but Madam's pulse is unstable, so I dare not induce labor lightly."
"Doctor Mei, how could my sister-in-law be like this? There are no external injuries on her face!" She remembered how Ye Susu had tormented her body so much, yet she still managed to give birth to the child.
Physician Mei continued, "Madam Jiang may have suffered damage to her heart meridian due to the gunpowder. She also has bleeding from her ears, and I am worried that her eardrums may be damaged. Even if she is saved, it may affect her hearing in the future. Right now, I can only stabilize her pulse and try to induce labor. Whether she can be saved... I dare not guarantee."
"Please, everyone, go outside first!"
Jiang Jinyan didn't want to leave. "I'll stay and keep Mo'er company."
Jiang Rumeng and Jiang Fenghua also said, "We both want to protect her."
Physician Mei had no choice but to have a screen set up, and a midwife was on standby at any time.
It was already dark by then, and time passed slowly. Then, Physician Mei took out his silver needles and began to treat the patient.
Soon, Feng Jingyuan and Jiang Huai arrived, and Jiang Fenghua and Jiang Rumeng came out of the room with red, swollen eyes from crying.
Feng Jingyuan asked, "How is it, Mo'er..."
In front of Jiang's mother, Jiang Rumeng could no longer hold back her tears. "The situation is very dangerous. The child and the adult may not be able to be saved. I didn't know there was gunpowder in the restaurant. By the time we realized it, it was too late. It's all my fault. Why didn't I pull her away?"
"Second sister, don't blame yourself. It's not your fault. Blame Su Xuan for being too despicable." The court still has to appease the people who lost their lives in the restaurant. The entire Su family has been imprisoned. Su Xuan has no one to help him. There's no way he could have transported so much gunpowder into the city.
They did indeed find suspicious people around the Jiang family, the Jin family, and even the Jishantang. They planned to throw gunpowder to blow up these places, and there were even people guarding the Crown Prince's residence.
I wonder how the interrogation is going. Are they really all remnants of the Su family?
