"Nalan Qingcheng?"
After seeing the person coming, Zuo An curled the corners of his lips slightly, revealing a faint smile, and then fainted.
The smile on his face was as brilliant as a blooming flower, yet tinged with a subtle bitterness. It was like a dying flower, blooming its most beautiful glory in its final moments.
"Zuo'an!" Hua Qingcheng stepped forward quickly and steadily caught the unconscious Zuo'an. Her brows were tightly furrowed, her eyes filled with anxiety and worry.
"Xiao Qingcheng, the seventh child is about to give birth. I'm afraid he won't make it back to the palace!" At this moment, Han Yichen came to Hua Qingcheng's side and reminded her. However, when his eyes fell on the woman's hands hugging Zuo An tightly, he couldn't help but curl his lips slightly.
Hua Qingcheng glanced at Mu Lige upon hearing this. The two exchanged glances, and Mu Lige immediately understood. He walked to the side and, with a single blow, knocked the acupunctured, immobilized Chen Tangli unconscious.
Immediately afterwards, Hua Qingcheng brought Zuo An, Mu Lige, and Han Yichen into her own space villa. Their figures disappeared in an instant.
As for Situ Ye and Wu Chen, they were left in the woods to watch over Chen Tangli.
Situ Ye and Wu Chen had no objections to this arrangement. After all, the third brother, who was skilled in medicine, would definitely go in with them, and the eldest brother, with his steady personality, could be of help. As for the other two, neither of them would be happy to leave either of them outside to watch over others, so the best option was for both of them to stay.
It has to be said that Hua Qingcheng understands the personalities of her husbands very well, and she handles the affairs of balancing their relationships just right.
Near noon, under a large tree in the woods south of the city, Wu Chen, bored out of his mind, sat leaning against the trunk with a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth. He looked at Situ Ye beside him and asked leisurely, "Second brother, what do you think...will the baby in the seventh brother's belly be a boy or a girl?"
Upon hearing this, Situ Ye glanced at the nonchalant Wu Chen, then rubbed his chin slightly, as if thinking seriously for a while, and then said seriously: "If the seventh child doesn't give birth to a son, then it must be a daughter; if he doesn't give birth to a daughter, then it must be a son."
Wu Chen nodded in understanding, then said with a forced smile, "As expected of you, the Second Brother. What you said really makes sense. Sixth Brother, I have great respect for you!"
Situ Ye suppressed the corner of his mouth that was about to turn upward, coughed twice, and said proudly, "Of course! I don't call you 'Second Brother' for nothing!"
Wu Chen's mouth twitched when he heard this. He thought to himself: This guy Situ Ye is really shameless. He can open a dyeing factory just by giving him some color?
Just as the two were exchanging verbal attacks, Luosha Sect's leader, Bu Youran, arrived with a group of people. Among them were Fu Bingyan, the leader of the Ghost Sect, Qin Ran, the newly appointed leader of the Jade Maiden Sect, and Ji Liangchuan, the senior disciple of the Gentleman Sect.
Situ Ye and Wu Chen, who were originally enjoying the cool under a tree, became extremely alert when they saw a group of people coming aggressively.
Ji Liangchuan immediately recognized Situ Ye and quickly reported to Bu Youran, "Master, this is Queen Nalan's man."
Bu Youran, who had led people to search the woods but couldn't find Zuo An, turned her attention to Situ Ye and Wu Chen after hearing Ji Liangchuan's words.
"Have you... seen Zuo'an?" Bu Youran asked a little anxiously, her tone revealing undisguised worry.
Seeing that the two didn't respond, Bu Youran couldn't help but add, "I am Zuo An's mother. I was worried that he would be in danger if he met Chen Tangli, the Young Palace Master of Lingxiao Palace, so I rushed over to protect him."
Seeing that the other party didn't seem to be lying, Wu Chen raised an eyebrow slightly, pointed at Chen Tangli, who was acupunctured and knocked unconscious, and the bodies of the four guardians of Lingxiao Palace piled in a large pit, and said, "Are you talking about them? We have already taken care of them."
Bu Youran looked in the direction of Wu Chen's finger, and sure enough, she saw Chen Tangli and her four elders.
Situ Ye also took the opportunity to say, "That's right, Sect Leader Bu, the seventh one has gone to give birth now. You can go to the palace to see him later."
Bu Youran thought for a moment and nodded. After thanking the two of them and looking at Chen Tangli meaningfully, he left with his men.
At the same time, after Hua Qingcheng brought Zuo An into the room of the space villa, she immediately placed him carefully on the bed in her room.
"Xiao Qingcheng, don't worry, I will wake him up right away." Han Yichen took out a silver needle from the cloth bag he carried with him and pricked it into a certain acupuncture point on Zuo An. Sure enough, Zuo An woke up quickly.
As soon as Zuo An opened his eyes, he saw Hua Qingcheng standing by the bed. He reached out and held Hua Qingcheng's hand tightly, his eyes full of attachment and reluctance.
"Seventh Brother, listen to me. You had a miscarriage earlier, and now your cervix is almost fully dilated. The baby is about to be born. You need to follow my instructions and breathe in and out correctly to give birth to the baby safely."
Han Yichen's face was serious at this moment, and his words were filled with an authority and momentum that could not be questioned.
"Seventh Brother, please bear with it." Mu Lige said gently while injecting a warm internal force into Zuo An's body.
Zuo An, who was originally exhausted, immediately felt his energy growing stronger. He looked at Mu Lige gratefully, nodded, and said, enduring the pain in his abdomen, "Okay, I will cooperate."
Hua Qingcheng sat on the edge of the bed, holding Zuo An's hand tightly, accompanying this man through waves of contractions and pain.
Every time a contraction came, Zuo An clenched his teeth and tried hard to control the trembling of his body, but he never let go of Hua Qingcheng's hand.
