In the main hall of the Prince's mansion, Xu Yuehuai, Yan Qing, and Tie Xiong sat together with other officials. Their faces all showed exhaustion and helplessness.
Xu Yuehuai took a deep breath and said, "Everyone, we have done our best, but we haven't found any valuable clues yet. I think we should temporarily conceal our strength, discuss new countermeasures, and send people to investigate in secret."
The other officials nodded in agreement. They knew the current situation was very unfavorable for them, and they needed to readjust their strategies to better meet the challenges ahead.
Xu Yuehuai continued, "We cannot give up. We must persevere and work together to uncover the true nature of this mysterious organization."
"I will follow the Princess's arrangements!"
"I agree with the Princess's strategy!"
Yan Qing and Tie Xiong also expressed their support for Xu Yuehuai's work.
They knew that the secrets and truths hidden behind this mysterious organization were of paramount importance to the entire court and the people. They were determined to uncover the mystery and fight for justice.
In the days that followed, they continued to secretly gather clues and track down the trail.
Although the process was arduous and lengthy, they firmly believed that as long as they did not give up or lose heart, they would definitely be able to catch those despicable guys!
...
On this day, Xu Yuehuai stood in front of the Regent's Palace, her expression solemn. The sudden invitation caught her off guard.
The palace servants sent by Qi Hanlin had been waiting at the gate for a long time. Upon seeing her, they immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Your Highness, His Majesty has urgent business and requests your presence in the palace."
Xu Yuehua nodded and followed the palace servants through the bustling streets to the inner courtyard of the palace.
The night was dark and the wind and rain were fierce, but the palace was brightly lit, as if it were daytime. She came to a quiet courtyard, and a palace servant gently pushed open the door. She went inside.
Qi Hanlin waited anxiously inside. When he saw Xu Yuehuai, a hint of relief flashed in his eyes. He hurriedly stepped forward and said solemnly, "Aunt, Xiaolian is about to give birth!"
Xu Yuehua frowned slightly. She knew that Xiaolian's health had never been very good, and this pregnancy was a huge test for her. She immediately went to the bedside and saw that Xiaolian was pale, clutching the sheets tightly, and her forehead was soaked with sweat.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here," Xu Yuehuai said softly to comfort her.
Although she hadn't mastered medical skills by following the Ghost Doctor and his companions, she was now putting everything she knew to good use. She quickly took out her needle kit and accurately inserted it into Xiaolian's acupoints to help relieve her pain.
Time seemed to stand still, moving slowly, while the wind and rain continued to ravage every corner of the palace.
"Ahhh—!"
Suddenly, a clear cry broke the silence of the night. Xiao Lian breathed heavily, a relieved smile on her face.
Qi Hanlin held Xiaolian's hand tightly, tears welling in his eyes. He looked down at the newborn life, his heart filled with emotion. This child was their hope, their future, and a testament to their love and faith.
"Thank you, Aunt." Qi Hanlin looked at Xu Yuehuai gratefully. He knew that without her help, Xiaolian and the child would probably be in grave danger.
Xu Yuehuai smiled and shook her head. Looking at Xiaolian and the adorable little life on the bed, her heart was filled with joy. She understood that her mission was complete, and now this little family would face their own happiness and challenges.
"It's all for Xiaolian and the child, so you'd better take good care of them from now on!"
Qi Hanlin nodded vigorously, feeling extremely excited as he looked at Xiaolian and the child.
The wind and rain gradually subsided, and the dawn's light streamed into the room through the window.
Xu Yuehuai bid farewell to Xiaolian and Qi Hanlin and left the palace. She knew that a new life had been born into this world, and she would continue her mission to protect those who needed her.
Back at the Regent's Palace, Xu Yuehuai lay wearily on the bed, her mind filled with thoughts. She recalled Xiaolian's resolute gaze and Qi Hanlin's moved tears, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
She knew that her existence and efforts would make the world a better place.
Deep within the Regent's Palace, Xu Yuehuai's days flowed like a constant stream, calm and unchanging.
Dressed in magnificent court attire, she sat before her desk in the study, surrounded by piles of documents. Her gaze was focused and resolute, her pen flying across the page as she handled various affairs both inside and outside the palace.
Although she holds a high position, she still maintains her original aspirations and resilience.
The sunlight streaming through the delicate window frames fell on Xu Yuehuai's face, adding a touch of gentleness to her appearance.
She looked up at the window, a hint of longing flashing in her eyes.
Not only Qi Guze, who was far away in the border town, she also thought of Xiao Lian and her child in the palace, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
Then, she got up, walked out of the study, left the Regent's Palace, and got into a carriage heading towards the palace.
Xu Yuehuai arrived at the palace and entered Xiaolian's bedroom. She saw Xiaolian lying on the bed, her face rosy and her spirits high.
The baby was sleeping soundly next to Xiaolian.
Xu Yuehuai walked gently to the bedside, looking at Xiaolian and the child with a smile in her eyes.
"Xiao Lian, how are you recovering?" Xu Yuehuai asked with concern.
"I'm fine, thank you for taking care of me all this time," Xiaolian replied with a smile.
Xu Yuehuai gently held Xiaolian's hand and said, "You are also family to me and Aze. We will definitely take good care of you and the child."
Xiaolian looked at Xu Yuehuai with gratitude, tears welling in her eyes. She knew that in this world full of power struggles and intrigue, meeting a friend and family member like Xu Yuehuai was her greatest fortune.
In another part of the palace, Qi Zi'ang was playing. When he saw Xu Yuehuai walk in, he immediately ran over excitedly and hugged her leg.
"Mother, please give me a little brother too!" Qi Ziang looked up at Xu Yuehuai, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Xu Yuehuai couldn't help but laugh when she saw Qi Ziang's adorable appearance.
She knelt down, stroked Qi Ziang's head, and said, "Ziang, your mother already has the best son, there's no need for another brother."
Qi Ziang seemed a little disappointed, but he quickly cheered up and said, "Then Mother, let's go find Uncle Tiexiong and Uncle Yanqing. They are investigating that mysterious organization!"
Looking into Qi Ziang's eyes, which were full of curiosity and courage, Xu Yuehuai felt a surge of emotion.
She knew her son had grown up and had his own dreams and aspirations. She nodded and smiled, saying, "Okay, Mother will take you to find them."
