At this point, who else could she trust besides her?
Everything is proceeding at a rapid pace.
Outside the door, General Xie paced back and forth in anguish, not having looked this tense in a long time.
Looking at Aunt Wan's pale face, and then at General Xie's figure reflected outside the door, Xie Lingqin suddenly felt incredibly mocking.
When she was born, was her father ever this attentive, or this anxious?
At least, she knew that her father wasn't this worried when her younger brother was born. It wasn't until someone reported that a boy had been born that her father reluctantly came to take a look.
During that time, she didn't even glance at her mother.
These memories, belonging to the original owner, from a long time ago and almost completely forgotten, suddenly became so clear and vivid at this moment, for some reason.
It felt like it was happening right before my eyes.
I clearly remember the silent, cold stares and sarcastic remarks between General Xie and her mother...
Mother, so desperate, so...
Xie Lingqin suddenly looked pained. Her head hurt so much that she suddenly felt weak all over and could only hold onto the table next to her to steady herself.
"Miss Xie, what's wrong?" The female doctor, who was treating Aunt Wan, exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this.
"Hey, what's all that yelling about?"
Xie Danling impatiently shouted from outside, but then felt a chill down his spine. When he turned around, Old Dong, who had been standing there, was gone.
Looking up, I saw Old Master Dong walking out from inside, supporting Xie Lingqin.
Xie Lingqin's face was deathly pale, and she looked pained.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Xie Danling walked over in a few steps. "Don't pretend."
"Step back." Although the old man's name was not loud, he had an undeniable ability. As he spoke, he flipped his hand, took out a needle, and inserted it into Xie Lingqin's Tianchi acupoint.
Xie Lingqin immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
After a long while, Xie Lingqin's complexion returned to normal. She calmed her breathing, looked at Elder Dong, and in an instant, her expression returned to its usual calm. "Thank you, Elder Dong."
"That was a case of qi deviation," Elder Dong said, his words quite profound. "A person without internal energy should not suffer from qi deviation."
Xie Lingqin was taken aback and shook her head, "I don't know either, it's very strange."
She genuinely didn't know; as she pondered, her mind seemed to drift into another dimension, unable to return to its original state.
A sense of inexplicable panic and emptiness weighed her down, making it hard to breathe, and she felt trapped.
"Hmph, stop pretending. You think I'll forgive you just because you're acting pitiful? Let me tell you, if I can't protect Aunt Wan's baby, I won't get away with this, and I won't let you off the hook either." Xie Danling snorted coldly, relentlessly pressing the issue.
Xie Lingqin was too lazy to pay attention to her anymore. She glanced at him, lifted the curtain, and walked into the inner room.
"How about it?"
The woman was also covered in sweat, but seeing that Xie Lingqin was alright, she finally relaxed. "The child... there's nothing we can do. My lady, you need to rest more."
Xie Lingqin nodded slightly before looking at the frail and unconscious Aunt Wan on the bed. After a moment, she walked out with Old Master Dong and the female doctor.
Xie Danling immediately followed.
The door opened.
General Xie immediately turned around to look at Elder Dong and Xie Lingqin, "Wan'er, she..."
"The lord is safe, General," said Old Dong.
This statement already confirms the fact that the child is lost.
"Father..." Xie Danling seemed to want to say something, but under the terrifyingly deep gaze of General Xie, he stopped speaking, lowered his head, and his body tensed up, afraid that General Xie's anger would sweep him out of the general's mansion.
Suddenly, the surroundings seemed to be filled with sorrow.
"Now that things have come to this, General Xie, please put your mind at ease. As for today's events, since we have indeed involved barbarians, we will report what needs to be said to the Emperor."
Yuwen Xian then walked over, his real meaning being to reassure General Xie that he would not allow the Emperor to have any doubts about the General's Mansion.
"Then this matter will be of concern to the wise prince."
"General, there's no need for such formalities." After speaking, Yuwen Xian glanced at Xie Lingqin beside him. Although he was extremely curious as to why she was able to persuade Elder Dong, this was not the time to ask questions. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he could only greet Xie Lingyu and leave.
Since the wise king was leaving, the others naturally followed.
General Xie glanced in the direction of the room, sighed, and immediately called Xie Lingqin and Xie Lingyu to see them off.
As for Xie Danling.
"You stand here and reflect on your actions."
“Father, this is clearly Xie Lingqin…”
"Xie Danling, watch your words. Don't let people say that the people of our General's Mansion are unruly." Xie Lingqin suddenly interrupted Xie Danling in a cold voice.
Xie Danling wanted to say something, but when he saw Xie Lingqin's cold gaze, he suddenly felt a pain in his shoulder.
"Call me 'sister'."
At the same time, a lazy and unrestrained voice suddenly rang in my ears.
---Aside---
Prince Yi has been watching the show for too long; it's time for him to step down.
